Washington, Dec. 7. ? There is
a strong belief here that* there will |
be more changes in the Cabinet |
before long, and that some of thej
administrative heads of "emer- I
gency" offices will be forced to i
yield to the pressure that is being
brought to get rid of them.
Following the announcement of j
the resignation of Attorney-Gen- i
eral Cummlngs. Washington ob- i
servers began to keep their eyes
peeled for signs of other Cabinet
changes.
There is a general expectation
that Harry Woodring, Secretary of
War, and Claude Swanson, Secre
tary of t<he Navy, will soon retire.
Mr. Swanson is au old, sick man.
The burden of building up the
new Navy is being carried by As
sistant Secretary Charles Edison,
son of the great inventor. He Is
considered an extremely capable
executive, and t-he only thing that
stands in the way of his probable
promotion is the fact that he, too,
is not in very good health. As the
successor to Secretary Woodring,
nobody here thinks of anyone but
the Assistant Secretary of War,
Louis Johnson, former National
Commander of l-he American Le
gion.
The two Cabinet members
whose positions are regarded as
absolutely secure are the Secre
tary of State, Cordell Hull, and
the Secretary of blie Treasury,
Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
Hull Most Popular
Mr. Hull is by all odds the most
popular and generally respected
figure in the entire Administra
tion. His successful efforts to ne
gotiate trade agreements with
other nations, and the scrupulous
care he has taken to keep him
self and his department out of
politics have combined with his
dignified yet genial personality to
win hiiu friends among Democrats
and Republicans alike. In any
discussion of Presidential candi- 1
dates for 1940. Mr. Hull's name is'
sure to be mentioned as a "middle- ]
of-ohe-road" Democrat who would
be" acceptable to all wings of tile!
party.
The recurrent report that the !
Secretary of Commerce, Daniel j
Roper, is due t<o resign, has crop
ped up again and is generally be- 1
lieved to be true. Talk about his ,
successor centers upon Harry Hop
kins, Administrator of the W.P.A. !
Whether Mr. Hopkins is the Pres-j
ideal's choice, whether he wants
the job. and whether he could be
confirmed by the Senate if he S
were appointed are questions to !
which no positive answer can, be j
given. '[
There are many influential men
in Washington who would like to!
see somebody else in the Cabinet j
as Secretary of the Interior, rath
er than Harold Ickes, Mr. Ickes is I
reputed to be rather uphappy j
about> his job. A good many fuiic-j
tions of his department have been j
transferred to others.
Has Strong Following
But he has built up a strong i
following outride of Wasliiugtou.
among Governors and Mayors with
whom he has had to deal in mat-:
ters concerning W.P.A. loans, and !
there would be a good deal of re- j
sistance if any political pressure
were put on the President !?;> re-j
move him from the Cabinet". Mr.
Ickes. being a man of independent I
wealth, does not need the job, but
he is of t'he temperament which'
does not quit tinder lire.
The one Cabinet member for !
whose resignation or dismissal
political pressure is already being
put on the President is the Secre- |
tary of Labor, Frances Perkins, j
Miss Perkins, as she is officially
known, or "Madam Secretary." as
she is generally referred to, is |
Mrs. Paul C. Wilson in private
life. The opposition to her on Cap
itol Hill has been growing stead
ily for several years. The charge I
is frequently heard that in labor |
disputes her influence has always 1
been 011 bhe side of John Lewis J
and his Committee for Industrial
Organization.
Washington hears the report
that a committee representing the
Ajnerican Legion recently made a
personal demand upon the Presi- \
dent for Miss Perkins' removal, 1
accompanying it by the threat
t'hat unless she resigned or was
dismissed the new Congress would
impeach her on charges of mal
feasance in office.
Friend of Mrs. Rooosevelt
One disadvantage under which
Miss Perkins' opponents labor is
that she is a warm personal friend
of Mrs. Roosevelt, whose influ
ence got her her Cabinet appoint
ment and who is said to be pre
pared to stick by her through
thick and thin. And nobody wants
to get into a public controversy
involving t<he President's wife.
The political strategy of both
parties in the new Congress is be
ginning to take shape. It is the
understanding here that at the
. meeting of the Republican Nation

Heinrich Dleckhoff, German Am
bassador to the United States, whc
has returned to his native land tc
report on the "curious attitude" o1
President Roosevelt and other U. S,
officials on anti-Jewish measure*
in German/.
there was general agreement to
pursue the party's policy in the
last Congress. That might be des
cribed as not getting too far out
in front, but' playing ball with the
independent Democrats, who
might be sticking their necks out. |
in the eyes of their Southern con- '
st'ituents. if they appeared to be
following the lead of Republicans.
Majority Greatly Reduced
On the Democratic side. Chair
man Farley and his righthand men
believe that, with their majority'
so greatly reduced. Democratic i
Congressmen will prove more ;
amenable to party discipline and
there will be less tendency to
stray oft the reservation on the
part of those who are opposed to
the Administ-ration and the New
Deal. If he can hold the party
together in Cougress and heal the
breach between the two wings, Mr
Farley hopes to be able to nomi
nate a candidate acceptable to all
Democrats in. 1940 and present
a United Front to t'he Opposition
The feeling in Washington,
however, is that the leader who
will have the last tmrord about
Democratic policies in Congress is
Vice-President Garner.
