; , -V. I . ' ' - Thursday, August 17, 1939 llflitiTON Washington, August 15 The first session of the 76th Congress adjourned with two events at testing further spread of anti- New Deal sentiment among Sen ators and Representatives alike. The President's bill to author ize the borrowing of 3 3 3-4 bil lions of the securities of Govern ment-controlled corporations and agencies, for the purpose of lend ing the funds for a wide variety of purposes in the effort to stim ulate business, was killed by the refusal of a coalition of Republi cans and Conservative Democrats to permit its consideration by the House, even after the Senate had agreed upon the measure in a modified form, involving only about half as much money as the President had asked for. Another important measure be hind which all the forces of the Administration lined up against the opposition, met the same fate. That was the bill to double the borrowing and lending powers of the U. S. Housing Administra tion, engaged in so-called "slum clearance" projects of building low-rent homes for the poor. * A combination of motives en tered into this final revolt against the Administration. There was a genuine feeling on the part of economy-minded members of both houses that the time had come to stop Government spend ing-for-recovery. Wide-spread Revolt There was an even more wide spread revolt against the idea of increasing the national debt by borrowing in the name of cor porations or agencies, whose debts would not be included in the official Public Debt state ments, on the theory that the proceeds of their lending would be used to finance self-liquidat ing projects. Besides economic objections to the President's program, further opposition was inspired by ob jections to the President's policies in general. There was also an element of personal revenge on the part of A. O. BRYAN SAYS: "HERE'S WHAT I MEAN BY SERVICE..." This word "service" is one of those things com* people haven't any business fooling with. They haven't any more idea of ita meaning than a hog has of a holiday. SERVICE, as I see it. is pretty near a part of my re ligion. It starts a long time before you come to me for tires. It starts with the tires I carry in stock. I've chosen to sell Goodyear* because I've had YOU in mind all the time. I've figured, "there's a fellow who's going to need good tires some day. and Fa going to give the beet tire value he can buy." That's the kind of tires Good year builds and I sell. But I wouldn't be satisfied if my service stopped there. I like to feel RESPONSIBLE lor your driving comfort your safety and freedom from tire-worries AS LONG AS THOSE TIRES ABE ON YOUR CAB. All Fve learned in years of this work belongs to you and the rest of my customers. That's why I'm always glad to have you drive In and let me make sure everything is right Maybe I still don't get my point across. WelL actions speak louder than words, and I'd rather GIVE service than talk about it. any day. LOW WIRE SAVE AT T HE BIQM OF THE GOODYEAR DIAMOND Double Eagle Service Company PHONB 4S ELKIN, N. C. certain Democratic Senators and Representatives who were the ob ject of the Presidential enmity in last year's elections, and who survived his so-called "purge" of the party leadership. All those th&gs combined with previous actions of the Congress to make the ending of this ses sion a fairly complete defeat of the New Deal. The way is now cleared for consideration of the prospects for the 1940 Presidential election, and that is what will engage the whole attention of official Wash ington and of the Senators and members back in their home states from now on. The battle for delegates to the nominating conventions of both major parties is already beginning. Fear Roosevelt It can be set down as a cer tainty that the man whom all Republicans fear most as the Democratic candidate is Presi dent Roosevelt himself. If he does decide to break the prece dent first formulated by the founder of his own party, and run for a third term, it is con ceded that he will be the hardest man for the Opposition to beat. There are careful observers, professing to be able to read the political signs, who hold that the President is merely waiting until the time is right to announce that he will not be a candidate to succeed himself. Such tactics, it is pointed out, would prevent too great concentration of dele gates behind any other individual v:ho might be distasteful to the President, and so increase his chance of having a candidate of his choice named, in the last minute confusion just before the convention. The candidate who is now coming to be regai Jed as the President's choice is Security Ad ministrator Paul V. McNutt. He is the only Democrat with any considerable vote-gathering abil ity who might have Mr. Roose velt's blessing. In actual politi cal strength at the moment, however, Vice-President Garner is away out in the lead, on the Democratic side. On the Republican side, the outstanding candidate of the mo ment is Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, son of former President Taft. The Ohio primaries come among the earliest of any of the states, and the Hamilton Coun ty (Cincinnati) Republican Com mittee has already begun its cam paign to win the primaries for its fellow-citizen, Senator Taft. It couldn't go ahead without the Senator's written consent, and he gave it in a strong statement at the New Deal, adding that the .tacking the Administration and task which lies ahead of the next President is so great that no sensible man could be eager to assume it. Dewey Strong None of the other potential Republican candidates has an nounced so far. A strong organ ization is being built up around and Washington hears that some- Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, thing in the nature of a "brain trust" of economists and political advisers is at work preparing a series of public speeches which Mr. Dewey will make in the Fall, to put his personal political philosophy on record. Very far from being in the background is Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, with probably more practical politi cians of his own party working for him than for any other Re publican. There is a perceptible under swell of sentiment for Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts. Gov ernor Bricker of Ohio must not be overlooked. He is believed to be receptive and is known to be a good campaigner. For the first time since 1928, Republicans be lieve, and Washington observers agree with them, the party has at least an even chance of winning in 1940. Otherwise there would not be so many candidates for the driver's seat. Some observers here think they see signs of a tide of public sen timent running in Mr. Hoover's direction. PLEASANT HILL SCHOOL IS TO OPEN AUGUST 28th Pleaasnt Hill school, along with ether schools of Wilkes county, will open Monday, August 28, at 8:45 a.m. The building is being remodel ed and ww'be ready for the opening of the school.
