Qleetead of preparing to meet

today found Mr. Roosevelt send-

to straighten out a con-

tangle which political wiseacres
predicted would cast its curious
ly twisting shadows upon 1936
and its presidential election.
Congress was rebellious on
other matters too and the sooth

in handling divergent elements
also would reflect Itself in the
nation’s history.

Elkin, March 5.—The Surry
county board of commissioners,
assembled in regular session yes
terday at Dobson, • faced again
the problem of the hospital ex
pense of the 33 school pupils of
the county who were severely, in
jured in a wreck of a county
school bus some weeks ago. Par
ents of the injured pupils ap
peared before the board in a
body to discuss the problem,
aware that neither the county
nor the state was obligated to
assume the hospital bill.
No definite disposition of the
matter was made but suggestion
was made that the hospital au
thorities be requested to reduce
the charge for attention, to a
non-profit level. The county
board, after receiving the an
swer, will further consider
matter.
All of the injured pupils are
now out- of the hospital, al

Washington, March 4. — A
house agriculture subcommittee
will begin its study of the War
ren potato control bill Wednes
day.
The committee is headed by
Representative Carden, of Ken
tucky, but Representative Kleb
erg. of Texas, will preside when
the potato measure is first con
sidered. Carden is away from
the capital.
Under the proposal, which was
introduced b y Representative
Warren, of North Carolina, po
tatoes would become a basic com
modity and a tax levied to re
duce commercial production.

P. T. Barnnm, self-styled
"Prince of Humbugs,” comes
back to a hearty life Thursday
and Friday at the Liberty Thea
tre, in the person of Wallace
Beery, who plays the matchless
showman in Darryl F. Zanuck’s
production of "The Mighty Bar-
num,” for 20th Century Pic
tures.
The screen play, which main
tains the comedy mood best suit
ed not alone to Barnum’s ex
travagant exploits, but to Beery's
most popular type of characteri
zation as well, was written by
Gene Fowler, famous biographer,
and Bess Meredyth, one of Holly
wood's ablest scenarists.
Tbe story opens with Barnum’s
entrance into the sideshow busi
ness exactly a hu:.'.dred years
ago when, having acquired a
few reptile monstrosities and an
aged negress named Jolce Hetb,
purported to be 160 years old
and erstwhile nurse of the in
fant George Washington, ne left
his failing Bowery grocery, rent
ed a livery stable and opened
Barnum’s American Museum.
The famous midget. General
Tom Thumb and his bride Lavln-
ia, the Cardiff Giant, the Beard
ed Lady, the Fiji Mermaid, the
Woolly Horse and all the rest of
the "natural oddities” .with
which Barnum staggered New
York a century ago are also
seen. His splurge from the gro
tesque to the sublime with the
sponsoring of the American de
but of Jenny Lind, the lovely
Swedish nightingale, at Castle
Garden, plays a big part in the
picture, with "Virginia Bruce

"HUEY IX)XG”
Washington, March 4. (Auto
caster)—Ask anybody in Wash
ington who is the outstanding
figure here today and more than
half will reply: "Huey Long.’’
The Senator from Louisiana fills
the public and political eye al
most as completely as President
Roosevelt did two years ago. For
Senator Long Is responsible for
the first important defeat the
President has experienced since
he took office.
That was on the President’s
"work relief” bill, carrying |4,-
880,000,000 to be spent as the
President pleases. The issue was
the proposed amendment to di
rect that the prevailing rate of
wages must be paid on all pub
lic works under this appropri
ation, although the President
had stated that to do that would
utterly destroy the whole pro
ject. Huey Long led and directed
the fight in the Senate which re
sulted in the adoption of the
amendment by a majority of one
vote.
That, for the moment at least,
puts Huey Long in top position
in the political eye. To be sure,
he had powerful weapons to play
with in his fight against the
bill. The most powerful was the
organized labor lobby, which is
bitterly opposed to the Presi
dent’s play to emjloy men at
“subsistence wages’’ on public
works, instead of the "prevailing
rate.” Another was the honest
i feeling of a good many Demo
crats that it was not wise to put
the practically unlimited power
which this bill carries into the
hands ot one man, who had not
even told Congress where, when
and how he proposed to spend
the money.
I)i.scus.s Compromise Mea.sure
Senator Byrnes of S^uth Caro
lina, who is supposed td be in
the confidence of the President,
said after the vote that the
whole plan to substitute work
relief for the dole Is dead. That
does not necessarily follow. The
outlook is that the Senate will
reconsider its action, but at the
same time, as this is written, all
sorts of compromise measuies
are being discussed. The import
ant fact is that the President’s
word is no longer unquestioned
law on Capitol Hill, and that
Huey Long nas proved himself a
master of political strategy, per
haps as skillful as the President
himself, who has heretofore been
regarded by experienced political
observers in Washington as the
most able political manipulator
seen here in a generation or
more.
The necessity of "doing some
thing” to curb Senator Long is
becoming a fixed idea in Admin
istration circles. Tbe abelief is
growing that he can either head
a third party next year, or dic
tate the Democratic party nomi
nee—who would not be Mr.
Roosevelt, if Huey had his way.
He privately calls the President
names, publicly opposes his poli
cies, and is now waging a bitter
war on Postmaster General Far
ley. At the Executive end of
Pennsylvania Avenue Senator
Long, who was first looked on
only as a joke, then for a while
only as a nuisance, is now be
ing regarded as a menace.
Tim Pension Mess
The Old Age Pension project
seems certain to be divorced
from the unemployment insur
ance plan. The bill as submitted
to Congress was a mess of un
related Items, but what South
ern members are pointing to as
the worst feature of the Old Age
scheme is that It would pauper
ize the Southern Negroes. It
can’t be drawn, under the Con
stitution, to apply to white folks
alone.
It is said by some Southern
members that if every negro over
65 got as much as $30 a month
old age pension, his children and
grandchildren would quit their
jobs and come to live with the
old folks, and there wouldn’t
he a;iy labor left for the cotton-
fields. That may be an exagger
ation, and probably is, but it may
result in killing the Old Age
pension scheme in a Congress in
which Southern members domi
nate.
Only one major bill has been
enacted by this Congress after
nearly two months. That is the
one enlarging the powers of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpor
ation. All other major legisla
tion seems to be dammed up be
hind tile work relief bill, with
the bitterness of organized lab
or against the Administration
grow'ing more apparent every
day. The proposal to extend
NRA for two years, made by the
President, will not get consider
ation for another two or three
months, in all likelihood.
Mid-Term Feelings
Even the President’s friends
are a bit concerned over the in
eptness of some of the men upon
whom he relies for political man
euvering. Too many have und
ertaken to speak for the Presi
dent, with the result that sever
al Senators who have been re
garded as his friends consider
that they have either been in
sulted or slighted.
Many members of both Houses
are complaining :hat they have
not been getting their share of
patronage. No previous Adminis
tration ever worked as hard and
as fast to get members of the
opposition party out of their jobs
and fill all the places with its
own political supporters, but the
Postmaster General, in his ca
pacity as Chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, is
charged with paying more atten
tion to the recommendations of
the party leaders back in the
States than to tbe Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
What is happening in Wash
ington is what usually happens
in the middle of any President’s
first term. Friction of all sorts
develops — but usually it is
smoothed out, as most of the
present* friction will be. Mr.
Roosevelt is said, by his friends,
to be getting a bit “touchy’’ and
inclined to resent well-meant
suggestions. He is Just beginning
to find out, what all Presidents
learn, that nobody ever tells any
President the whole truth about
anything. '
