In the last five or six years private business has called for very little money. Government securities and the law of supply and demand operated to allow the treasury trea-sury to sell its bonds and notes at mnch reduced interest On the one hand, therefore, the Roosevelt administration has run up the public debt by about $8,000,000,-000 $8,000,000,-000 but has succeeded in actually reducing the carrying charge of this great structure by more than $100,-000,000 $100,-000,000 per year. This is the situa tion as of today. Restoration of business activity and the resultant demand for capital may change the market for treasury bonds almost overnight but the prospects for such business activity are not immediate. Starts Something One of the Interesting things that often occurs In government affairs is the explosive effect of a single Incident or a single sin-gle remark by an Important official It is a characteristic charac-teristic of changing conditions and it Is a circumstance which causes Washington observers to be on their toes continuously because they never can tell when such an Incident will occur. Thus It was the other day that Representative Brewster, Republican, Re-publican, of Maine, a former governor gov-ernor of that state, arose In his place and charged that the Roosevelt Roose-velt administration was threatening individual members of the house who declined to support the administration admin-istration view on a particular piece of legislation. Mr. Brewster named one Thomas Corcoran as the administration admin-istration emissary and bearer of the threats. lie told of details of the circumstance and Informed the bouse that the legislation which the administration demanded he should support was the so-called "death sentence" provision in the bill to eliminate utility holding companies. Suffice it to say that Mr. Brewster did not yield. The point of this incident, bow-ever, bow-ever, is that Immediately there came from many quarters In the house a demand for an investigation of lobbying activities. There had been many charges theretofore that the public utility corporations were overrunning over-running the house with lobbyists In their effort to defeat the "death sentence" section. The real reason back of this sudden outburst how ever, lies in dissatisfaction among many members of congress with tactics tac-tics employed by the Roosevelt administration. ad-ministration. They have taken orders or-ders constantly since March 4, 1933, but apparently they are no longer going to obey. So the Investigation of lobbying Is to be started by a bouse committee and It will be broader than Just the public utility lobbyist If the under current of Information proves to be correct administration represents' tlves who have frequented the house rhnmhers durins consideration of the holding company bill will be placed on the witness stand to tell their story. In the meantime and maybe as a result of the excitement over the Brewster charge, Look Into Senator Black, an Lobbying Alabama Democrat Demo-crat started fire works In the senate. He Is prepared to create Investigating machinery in that end of the Capitol to determine what Influence the utility lobbyists have exerted. That investigation also will go beyond the utility lobby ist phase. It is scheduled to dig up dirt on lobbyists for other legislation. legisla-tion. Thus far there has been little mention of administration activities around the senate, But as In the case of the house investigation, It appears now that the senate investigation has a double Duroose. It will be recalled that Senator Black fostered a bill requlr ing all lobbyists In Washington to register at the Capitol, to show their connection, to show what salaries or other compensation they receive and to make public certain types of correspondence passing between them and the people whom they represent rep-resent The gossip Is that the senator's sen-ator's bill, although It passed the senate without difficulty, will have hard sieddins In the house. Senator Black appears to be proceeding on the theory that the Investigation will create additional atmosphere and public demand far passage of the lobbyist registration measure. Actually. I believe that the in vestigation will do no more than ruin reputations of some. few peo ple. Sueb an Inquiry will not stop lobbying. It will not even curb or reduce lobbying. As long as Indi viduals have property the value of which may be affected one way or the other by federal legislation. Just so long will Individuals seek to In fluence their representatives and senators la congress. It teems to me to be a perfectly natural and normal 'ilng. and without defending the slimy type of lobbying and the raw or crooked deals that may come from lobbying, the voters have a right to express their views to their representatives. e Weatara Nawapapar Cmlo THE LEIII SUN.

Auto camps have been crowded by people from all parts of the country. Resident labor la-bor took a hopeless view as ramshackle ram-shackle cars seen at auto camps bore licenses from many other states. Most of those who have come have been in bad financial straits, and a number of families have been forced to sell their cars for $10 to $15. Once this was gone, they were stranded, and relief workers were being called upon to handle this additional ad-ditional burden.

BEVERLY IIILLS. Well all I know Is Just what I read In the papers, pa-pers, or what I see here and there, I have been working work-ing pretty hard (laugh) on some movies. It Just happened that I almost had three right in a row. Now that dont mean that they will be released as fast as we made em. They only come out about every four months, but we got a couple ahead already made and that means that I will have little lit-tle time off to do a few things I been planning on, and that I wont look like I am trying to get In front of every camera that is grinding. We run one the other night called, "In Old Kentucky," and Us got a lot of laughs. Had a lot of awful fine people in it and they sure made good. You know the old idea of one person trying to be the whole thing In a picture Is all washed up. Pictures Pic-tures are like a ball team, the pitcher cant do it all. Its got to be the whole team. Yon just watch pictures close and see bow well done are Just small parts, or what they call "Bits." Its because they are done by real actors, actors that anyone of them could go in and play the leading part They may only get two or three days work out of it but they do it like it was a star part and you never hear em whining either about the part not being in keeping with tliolr ability. No sir, I believe there Is more real nerve and sameness under the most disscouraging circumstances In the picture business than any other place on earth, course the stage is not far behind. Its a heart breaking racket but they dont lit and tell you about It Their heads are always up. They keep neat they hide a lot with a groat smile. Well after I finish a long siege I sorter begin to looking up in tha air and see what is flying over, and Mrs Rogers In her wise way will say, "Well I think you better get on one. You are getting sorter nervous." Well this time the Fourth of July was coming on, I had had a lot of Invitations to a lot of places where I would have liked to have gone on the Fourth. Bo I went to a real cowboy reunion la Texas on one of their most famous 'ranches. Not a professional rodeo like yon see everywhere else, but a real celebration In a real cowtown by real old timers. I wouldcnt have missed it for anything. You know the way planus run. Its almost impossible impossi-ble to think of a place that you cant be to by morning or at the latest next day at noon. It was getting along late In the afternoon, I had Just played a little polo game at my place. Jimmy, the youngest was "Hot," and be made a sucker out of me. I was on the other side. Bill 1 the tneasels, and had to stand off on the side of the hill in front of the house and watch it He was Just a getting over what they call the German Ger-man Measels. (Iryla Cobb said they were now called Liberty Measels.) He was a mighty big old boy to bo measellng. Then the Mother who had been taking care of him thought she had em, and wanted me to get away to keep from catching catch-ing em, so as I say It was late In the afternoon about live thirty and I called op the plane company com-pany and booked me space to leave at seven. And it takes an hour to go to the flnlil. I w 1 1 a n t right sure I waa going back to these celebrations but I can be ready to go to Africa In ten minutes. Left at seven, arrive at Abilene Texas at six the next morning, and Us only forty miles out to the town where the reunion re-union is, Sanford, Texas. Why yon can leave California In the evening on any one of the three lines, and arrive In New York and see a matinee the next afternoon and a Bicht show and leave after the night show and be home by the next nieht for dinner. But they are mor lng plenty fast In cars too, end the trains are picking op and their busi ness is stckinr CD There Is so much to see and so many good places to stop, and cheap. I never in my life saw as many out of i Late cars as there Is In California this summer. That big fair out there la drawing a lot of em. but every state has something that everybody ought to see. From what I can gather from ererrone I talk with, things are deflnatley picking up. If they Just get more folks to working which they are dolnr now too. there Is no way to stopping this Country. Just quit listening to the politicians. They have to make a noise the nearer It comes to next rear. Roosevelt alnt going to ruin the Country. The Con stitution will remain as is.
