Consequently, some of the harmonlzers are attempting to effect a deal whereby the speakership will go to the South and the post of majority leader be filled by a northern Democrat. In this combination the names of Representatives Rayburn of Texas and MeCormack of Masachusetts, figure most prominently. However, this arrangement has vulnerable spots because there are many other southern Democrats who feel they are entitled to consideration, and they may not be satisfied with such a combination. On top of all this Is a statement from White House quarters that the President will remain aloof. which the administration carries In having such The responsibility complete control Borah of governmental machinery has Its Criticizes cushion thorny s despite tfte ability to muster a majority In both the house and the senate. One of the sharpest of the thorns apparently Is Senator William E. P.orah of Idaho. Progressive Republican. Mr. Rorah always has played a lone hand In the senate and he apparently Is going to do so again. The first harpoon which the Idaho senator has thrown was directed at the relief policies pressed through and administered by professional relievers. Mr. Borah says there Is an enormous amount of waste In connection with the relief activities. He says there are thousands of superfluous Jobs being maintained out of relief fnnds under the guise of distributing the money. He has called attention as wetl to the lack and the apparent of Inability of the relief heads to arrive at uniform bases for ministering to the destitute. Having begun the fight well In advance of the opening of congress Mr. Borah can be expected to give It momentum from time to time, so that when It reaches the floors of congress It can be counted on to be more than a two-tlilrd- free slavery. It Is planned, Washington says, to convert millions of acres of uneconomic land, worthless for farming, into a "hunter's paradise."
