"My Little Boy Jimmie," as the President introduced him back in 1932 from the rear platform of his campaign train, has steadily been moving into the public eye ever since. In that campaign Jimmy was used as the mouthpiece for a great many things which "Papa" did not want to say at the time. For example, he predicted the speedi-neswith which beer would return if his father should be elected. Then it was James who entangled his father with James M. Curley, then mayor of Boston and one of Jimmie'a very good customers in the insurance business. It looked for several years as though this alliance of Curley and young Roosevelt were going to march down through the years. It appeared as though Curley would step from the governor's chair, when he got tired of that office, into the senate, and that James would become governor of the Bay state. This idea of James Roosevelt's running for governor of Massachusetts still persists. It would be a logical stepping stone. Friends insist that Jimmie would like it very much. Meawhile the objectionable alliance with Curley has been terminated. The split between the Roosevelts and Curley became, apparently, irreconcilable when the President, during a campaign swing through the Bay state in the closing days of the 1936 campaign, failed to mention Curley's name, though s Farley vs. Friends re- - BBL. 1926. ins bi t r Stoirted in 1931 ana ean its t: smissions in later the government vea rroved for a research commission broadto pave the way for general casts.

I and com ' ama? LaGuardia Farley are telling the big politician that ho can easily be elected governor of New York in November even if the Republicans should nominate Fiorello H. LaGuardia. Incidentally their arguments are rather interesting in view of the thumping majority that LaGuardia piled up in the recent New York election. Time is one of the important elements. They insist that when the gubernatorial election is hold LaGuardia will still have throe more years to serve as mayor under the term to which he was elected last month. Yet the term he may be seeking as governor would be for only two years. So many of the New York City voters who thought he made a good mayor in his last term,: and who voted for him to have four more years rather than to turn the city over to the Democratic bosses, will think it would be poor strategy for them to help send him to Albany. It is also contended that scores of thousands of New Yorkers who thought LaGuardia should be continued as mayor would oppose the idea of the mayor becoming President of the United States. On this point the illustration of Alfred E. Smith is used. Smith was elected governor in 1918, was beaten in the Harding landslide of 1920, came back in 1922, weathered the Coobdge 1924 Republican landslide comfortably, and was triumphantly in 1926. Yet more than 100,000 New Yorkers who had voted for him for governor "at his lowest ebbs, and several times that number who had voted for him in his good years, refused to vote for him for President. It should be borne in mind here that in 1922 Smith was at the of his strength. of -- ju. 10-in- With that strange episode now history, the new picture is: How can the men who want a wages and hours bill agree on something strong enough to stand alone? No compromise so far has been reached on any of the important difficulties. For example, who is to administer the law. William Green and his friends in the American Federation of Labor do not trust the idea of a board. They fear that President Roosevelt would appoint another group as friendly to C. I. O. as they think the national labor relations board is. Neither the A. F. of L. nor the C. I. O. is enthusiastic about entrusting administration to the Department of Labor. But there enters another complication. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins is distinctly unpopular on Capitol' Hill. There are quite a few members of the house who would not vote for any bill, on final passage, which gave Secretary Perkins this added power. Particularly bitter in this group are a few Southerners who still resent an unfortunate remark the secretary made in her first year in office, to the broad general effect that a bigger market for shoes could be built up for Northern factories if so many people in the South would stop going barefoot! But for eleven months, or until the congressional election of 1938, r bill will ccntinue to this have a tremedous technical advantage. It has passed the senate. That passage holds until the present congress dies. Nothing changes between sessions. So it is not a question ever of beating a filibuster. It is merely a question of writing a bill which 218 members of the house and 49 senators would rather vote for than against. nun but aniillii'r ulable pri'senoe it tonrnr led ii Simms. C.
