CAGE SIX THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HlGHLAtPS MACONIAN THURSDAY, NOV,; NEWS REVIEW OFfJBpGTON Farlay Er.p-x - ,id to Resign; Frank L. Walke. May Succeed Him (Special to The Piress-Maoonian) WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—While the air of Washington is full of predictions and rumors as to the policies of the second administration of President Roosevelt, a great deal of this kind of talk is in the nature of trial balloons. Suggestions are made that the President is consider ing this, that or the other line of action, but that does not by any means prove that the particular policy has 'been decided upon. Tlie public reaction to such tentative suggestions is expected to be more influential now than it has been in the past. So far there is ,no program sufficiently crystallized to warrant the prediction that it will even be presented to Congress. That does not mean that there are not numero.us persons in high positions in the Administration who have pet plans which they will try to get Congressional sanction for; it is simply that the President is believed to have refrained from committing himself to any of these individual plans. Beirry and Labor A figure who will probably be heard of more within the .next few months is Major George L. Berry, who has the title of Co-ordinator for Industrial Co-operation. Major Berry is president of the Interna tional Printing Pressmen’s Union, but in addition to that has large business interests and is regarded as .a wealthy man. Berry’s pet idea is to bring bu,si- ness organiz,ations into co-operation with the, labor organizations, look ing toward a voluntary set-up much along the lines of the NRA. Major Berry is a man of great force and an able public speaker, and probably can do as much in this field as any one else who could be named. He is close in the President’s confi dence and .enthusiastic over the pro ject of bringing about better team work between employers and fni- ployees. Washington is speculating over the probable consequences of a split in the ranks of organized labor as this may affect the Administration’s labor program. John Lewis, Presi dent of th'C Miners’ Unio,n and lead er of the revolt in the labor ranks, is regarded as having Presidential ambitions. A great many persons of mfluence, who would be glad to go along with his program for labor organization by industries instead of by crafts, hesitate to throw in with Lewis, it is said, because they don’t like the idea of mixin.i; up in what may turn out later to be a political movement. Winant On Job Again 'I'hcTe is gratification in Wash ington that John G. Winant, former Republican Governor of New Hampshire, who was the first chair man of the Social Security Board, has been recalled to that post. Gov. Winant resigned last Summer in or der to take the stump for Presi dent Roosevelt to reply to the at tacks being made upon the Social Security Act. Washington regards (jovernor Winant as a conscientious ajid able administrator and probably tli'C best informed man in America on social security laws of other countries and the way they operate. It is regard ed here as reasonably certain that some improvements in the Social Security Act will have to be made, and Governor Winant’s leadcrshii) and counsel will be needed. That staunch friend and supporter of President Roosevelt, Frank C. \iValker, who was one of the first Roosevelt-for-President men away back in 1930, is being talked about I here as the probable successor to i Postmaster General Farley. The be- , lief grows that Mr. Farley will re- j sign on or before .inauguration day, i January 20, and Mr. Walker is re- I garded as the logical choice, I Walker has demonstrated his e.x- I ecutive capacity and or,canizing ; ability in setting up and startiiiLT j off numerous federal agencies, tlie i administration of which vv:is later turned over to others. The Presi dent has a high regard for ,\1r. Walker and if he is not made Post master General the probability is that he will be placed in some equally important post. Eastman’s R. R. Ideas Joseivh C. Eastman, Chairman of the interstate Comni'eree C^)mniis- sion, has been gradually swinging around to the b'elief that the only solution for the problem of the rail roads is government ownership, al though when he was first appointed railway co-ordinator, he was in clined to regard government owner ship as a last resort. Mr. Eastman is now tryi.ng to de velop a workable plan which would take under the Federal ,Govern ment’s wing all the other forms of interstate transportation, such as trucks and busses, as well as the railroads. The Rockefeller Letter When John D. Rockefeller, Jr., a staunch lifelong Republican and a heavy contributor to the Republican campaign fund, wrote a letter to Chairman Farley of the Democratic National Committee complimenting him .upon his statesmanlike utter ances after the election, people m Washington began to realise that the political hatchet has been bur ied, at least temporarily. It would be hardly accurate to say that the signs point to another such "era of good feeling” as ehair- acterized President Monroe’s sec ond administration, but there are many evidences that political dif ferences are being submerged in the effort of all sorts and condi tions of men to lend a hand in the complete restoration of prosperity. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has officially called upon its members to co-operate with the Administration and Cong ress for full recovery. The Chamber of Commerce has for three years past been the most outspoken and vigorous critic of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies. It is the feeling here that the tendency is more to construc tive criticism and co-operation than to denunciation and opposition, on the par.t of many of the important interests which were violently op- j)osing the President before election.
