Show national by william bruckart washington congress Is showing every sign of yv wanting to be good boys and girls and play now ready ball with president to be good goo I 1 d roosevelt it appeared when congress decided to slap the president in the face by overriding his veto ot of the veterans compensation and govern west employees salary question that at last there was a definite and far ar reaching breach many persons here thought alie president PrIde tit had a recalcitrant bunch on his hands and that there would be plenty of trouble dur ifie the rest of the session such Is not the case however and although there will be differences arising the remainder of the session will show few cases in which the wishes of the president will be absolutely disregarded it the reason for this sudden Is simple an election campaign confronts all of the members of the house and 35 members of the senate As the thing his has been exIn explained p Ined to me by numerous nume ronS representatives and senators they were in a poli fical situation where they felt the they K would rather slap the president than the veter veterans ans the president can scold or spank them it Is explained but the veterans have votes that are a good deal rougher than a spanking by the chief executive front from abe he standpoint of politics now that the potential bandl candidates dates can go before the veterans of their ali air respective districts and point with pride or something to a vote to restore the compell campen bation the campaigning members feel they nrc are sitting in a good seat they ere are ready to be good I 1 am told that democratic leaders in the house and senate have had innumerable visits since the vet vote from members of their party who wanted to assure the administration that they are regu regular lael again and will stay that way having obtained what they thought they had to have to in sure anre their r reelection election re e they will now vote te accord according ng to direction once more then when they start speechmaking speech making in their home bailiwick they will talk loudly and long about supporting the president in one speech and in the alie next lf if it be in a strongly organized veterans area they will shout about their friendship for the former soldiers sailors and marines from which it ought to tie ap apparent Varent that the whole thin thing was just a part of the great game of polities politics 1 0 democrate Demo democratic crAle balters could not have overridden the president by themselves and that fact just playing Play iTis save gave the politics 3 an opportunity to play politics is as well the republicans in the house and senate saw a chance to embarrass the president they alicy nud nudged ged the alie democrats from every angle to oer override ride the veto find and joined with the balters on the vote just because it would put the Deno democratic cratic loaders leaders on a liot hot spot and would bo be offensive to the president that esthe way the game of politics Is played it if one looks back over the records during the lie coolidge and hoover administrations plenty of instances are shown where the democrats then III the minority joined the bolting republic republican ins am and so called pro gres in votes that were embarrassing to the president As 1 a I matter of facts fact there still Is tome some doubt in the minds of many observers here whether mr roosevelt lad biad sound reason for his veto ile he charged that the bill as passed before the veto would add 21 to regular budget of 0 the government that Is true hut but I 1 cannot help recalling that there lire are two budgets now inow one ot of them thein Is the regular budget and theother the other many time larger Is for emergency expenditures at least some of those democrats who broke with the president on the question are asking why the government has to cut down on its regular budget while it expands and throws money away like water from the emergency budget it does docs c tuse cause one to pause and think about it in other oilier words the thought ot of those men Is why s d is it such a crime to spend about bile one fourth of a billion dollars the wy way congressmen want to spend it when the administration Is 19 L spending ending tP some five or six els billions the way it wants to spend that tremendous surn SUM further I 1 cannot help kielp recalling that when the economy act was passed during the extra session I 1 last ast spring I 1 reported to you that the cur curtailment tall of expenditures tor for veterans and for several other purposes under the regular budget was to be short lived I 1 said at that time that it would be given back in pieces two acts of congress since have hare restored a total of 75 per cent of 0 the amount taken away from the veterans veterans and the last act of congress restored one third ot of 15 per cent PRY pay cutto cut to the government workers an wll ieli iye ye them another one third july 1 1 1 i 1 4 ob there ls III trouble troubie brewing breving for or president Rd roosevelt sevelt ri to another another political albl dl lori it la is not a more trouble direct result ot of the brewing overriding 0 of hla his veto that fact does appear to have accentuated the dilli cuttles cult les however lio weer according to most of my informants the quest question lon that Is before the administration and lenders leaders of the democratic party Is what Is the attitude to be toward the sires and other insurgents it Is known of course that there are am members of the house and senate elected as democrats who have no more right to call themselves democrats than some of the radical group of the minority can claim to be republicans they are insurgents there Is no other proper label they have not do not and will not stand hitched to any program for any great length of time president roosevelt and big jim parley farley know full well that the democrats must have the help 0 of the so called progressives progress ives and the radicals in some parts of the country this Is especially true in the middle west but the administration cannot turn against the militant and fig fighting litin young democrats who have fallen into line solidly behind roosevelt wid and the new kew deal if it snubs them it scorns the steps by which it did ns ascend echil and that Is never good politics the younger group of democrats take credit for the smashing victory of 1932 1032 and mr roosevelt cannot ignore their clamoring for or recognition lecog dillon like a ghostly shadow across the path however floats the forms and faces of numerous powerful men who broke away from hoover and supported the roosevelt candidacy the roosevelt blessing already has been bestowed upon senator allram johnson a californian who was elected as a republican but who supported mr Roosevel ts candidacy senator johnson is up for election this year on the other hand there Is young bob la follette of wisconsin surely he was a liberal all the way lie supported mr roosevelt as against mr hoover but young bob has had no such blessing from the administration indeed big jim farley has strongly intimated that he wants to see wisconsin elect charles broughten brou ahten a regular democrat and so it goes 0 0 when president roosevelt announced settlement of the labor controversy tro versy between the woman not automobile industry real neutral and the american federation of labor and proposed creation of a board to adjudicate the quest questions lon every one here thought naturally enough that lie would select a representative of th the e industry and one of labor with the third man being neutral the natural conclusion was that the third member of the board would have no ties lies with either capital or labor there was much surprise therefore when lie named dr leo willman Wol nian of columbia university new york as the neutral member front from what I 1 can gather around washington the appointment of doctor was a hit bit disappointing to those who v anted a real neutral to sit as a member of the board frankly the president did not meet legitimate expectations in the appointment except of course among those who sympathized wholly with labors contention in the controversy y doctor colmans Wol mans knowledge of labor questions cannot be denied lie ile has demonstrated his ability and his capacity to understand the problems tle the objection that I 1 hear however does not run to that phase of his ability doctor has been associated socia ted directly or indirectly with william green president of the american can federation of labor for many years rears however be may desire to be impartial however basically honest ho he Is the thought in many places in washington vashon vash ln ton Is that doctor cannot be neutral as that wordis accepted by the general geri eral public lie ile Is human and lie he has sentiment those two factors make it appear to many observers that the settlement of the automobile labor controversy amounts to nothing more than a postponement it will flare up tip again but probably will not take place until after the middle middie of june when the president will not dot have a law in effect that will permit him to license the industry the weeks best laugh federal home biome loan board regulations require that applicants
