WSHIMtilil Washington. D. C., ? The pic ture which official Washington presents today is that of a renewal of the President's pressure on Congress for greater power for th.-' Executive, and a much less resis tant attitude on tlut--pa-t>f of the majority of members than was ap parent a few weeks ago. That is not to say thaO Congress is again ready to "rubber-stamp" any pro posal the President may make, but it is ready to give him? in deed, has already given him ? things which a short time a,so the recalcitrant) leaders oij Capitol Hill swore they never would give liim. An outstanding example is the failure of tlie mucli-talked-of plan to "earmark" the items in the new pump-priming appropriation bill, calling for the expenditure of above two and a half billion dol lars for various kinds of public works and relier. The House Com mittee on Ways and Means had worked out schedules allotting the various items to particular uses. When the President returned from his vacation cruise to the West Indies the returns from the Flori da .primaries and other political signs of the times had iudlcated to many of the Democratic in surgents that it was not as safe for them as Ohey had imagined it to be, to align themselves openly in opposition to Mr. Roosevelt. The same revelation had come to the President, who is about the most adroit politician who ever inhabit ed the White House. So when the party leaders called on him with a draft of the pump-priming bill so worded as to eliminate all Pre sidential discretion in the allot ment) of money to particular states and Congress districts, the Presi dent made just one suggestion. He pencilled the words "as the President may direct" into the bill and the Congressional spokesmen accepted it. Score For F, D. H. It) was a complete abandonment of their previously-announced pur pose of curtailing the political power of the Executive; for in politics control of the expenditure of public funds is, except in ex traordinary circumstances, control of elections. The House accepted the Presidential demand and pass ed the big appropriation bill with practically full authority in the President's hands to spend the money as he pleases. Another example of Congres sional receding from its previous defiant' position occurred in the Senate, on the bill creating an aviatiou authority. It is proposed to establish an independent com mission. like the Reconstruction Finance 'Corporation, the Federal Trade Commission and many oth ers. The commissioners are to be appointed by the President, but may be removed as the bill was originally reported to the Senate, only for malfeasance, neglect or inefficiency. That did not please the Presi dent. He remembered t>hat he had undertaken to remove Commis sioner Humphreys from the Fed eral Trade Commission on the ground that Mr. Humphreys was not sympathetic with the aims and purposes of the Administration and was "noti co-operative." The Supreme Court ruled that the Pre-i sident had no power of removal except fpr causes specified in the law. Therefore word came to Capi tol Hill from the White House, and the Aviation Commission bill was amended to give*he President! power to remove ai^jlonimissiou er who was "undesirable, unco operative or antagonistic." The Senate passed the bill in that form by the narrow margin of 32 to 30 votes, in spite of warnings that* such a provision, if extended to all the quasi-judicial and quasi legislative agencies of the Govern ment would give the President full control of their opinions and acts. Senate Reverses Position This action was a complete re versal of the Senate's previous position when the Reorganization Bill was before it last Winter. The House version of the proposed Re organization program applying to all Federal departments and agen cies contained a provision giving the President full power of re moval for any reason or no rea son at all. The Senate elimiriated that provision, on the ground tlfat It would be placing too much per sonal power in Ohe President's hands. Now, in a parallel instance, the Senate has shown Itself ready to "go along" with the President, . although the White House victory tn this instance was by a very nar row margin and the issue was not? strongly enough contested to bring out a full Senate vote. It is, however, another straw in dicating that the political winds are shifting and that the Presi dent's influence over Congress is regaining some of the strength which he had lost earlier in the year. How far Mr. Roosevelt will deem it' prudent to press his gains is yet to be seen. Reorganization Comc-Back? Mr. Roosevelt is definitely en couraged by the shifts of Congres sional sentiment so far displayed, and is reported to be preparing to press his advantage still farther. Emissaries of Mie White House have been urging Congressional leaders to bring up again for con sideration the Oovernment Re organisation bill. There were 108 Study Set-Up of Robin Hood Farm Meeting to study the set-up or the Robin Hood Farms and to5 advise with the promoters as to methods and committee needs was' the ' above group of agricultural i leaders attending a luncheon in Raleigh last week.

Vaughan. president of Robin j Democratic Representatives who i voted with the HO Republicans to I send that measure back to com mittee when it came up before. ;< against 96 who voted for it. A I shift of only eight votes in the; I House would pass the bill, it is j figured, and efforts are being I made to obtain pledges from that i number or more who opposed the Reorganization program, that they , i will vote for it next time. That i such a small number of Repre-j, sentatives have changed their ji minds in the light of the signs ,i they read into the early Democra-1 tic primaries t>hat the mass of the 1 people are still behind the Presi-|i dent, seems not at all unlikely. ] i CHAIRMAN" PROGRAM !

Schaub. director of the State College Extension Serv ice, .was chuckling over a story | yesterday which had to do with! county agents and acreage allot- ii ments. It seemed that an agent' in a . nearby county notified the Waah-i1 ingtou AAA office that one of the' farmers ill his county who had cooperated under the soil conserv-!1 ation program had died. However.! the Federal headquarters paid no attention to the letter and keiJt , writing every few days for inform ation on the way the farmer had planted certain crops. The agent again notified Wash ington that the man was dead Still more 'letters for the dead! man came iu. In desperation, the agent final- i ly sat down and wrote: "Gentlemen: "As I have' told you several times before. Mr. Jones is dead. Therefore I really don't know how to reach him. He's' not in hell; > that I am sure, for I have been there myself for the past thirty days. I have abandoned all hopes of that other place, so if you have to reach him there, it Hiighfr be a good idea for you to get in touch with someone else." SUBSCRIBE TODAY !
