Capital Sketches
By JIM RIVERS
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 8.
Folks generally, and particularly
those who form the mid-section of
the body politic, seem inclined to
look on the "paltry" $725,000,000
just appropriated to continue Fed
eral relief through June 30, as
"small potatoes." Yet, for the re
freshment of memory, it might be
noted that this reduced amount
would have financed Government,
"lock, stock and barrel," during a
full 12-month period of the first
Roosevelt's regime.
Legislation designed to afford a
more abundant life to underprivi
leged Americans has expanded the
Nation's fiscal imagination some
thing awful. But it seems only a
shprt time .since citizens of our
secluded community condemned
Rockefeller each evening at lamp
lighting 'time as a conscienceless
millionaire the only one we'd
heard of and the word "billionaire"
hadn't much more than been ac
cepted as a human no&sibility.
THE NEGATIVE VOTE of
Senator Bob Reynolds on the ad
ministration bill to restore the
$150,000,000 stricken by House Ap
propriations Committee from' the
original relief recommendation is.
kinda hard to understand. Support
ed for renomination in 1938 (and
without restraint) by the President
and .some fifty-odd thousand PWA
families, the unpredictable junior
North Carolina solon is faced with
the somewhat embarrassing duty
of .explaining a vote which spelled
defeat for Roosevelt and victory for
the less-liberal Garner group in
the first actual test of Seriate
strength. But it must be admitted
that it's newS the "man-bites-dog"
variety when "One-hundred-percent
New Dealer" Reynolds lines
yp with his "unreconstructed" col
league, Josiah W. Bailey, on the
natter of reduced public spending.
THE PRACTICED HAND of ex-

"CHEVROLET'S THE CHOICE!"
Chevrolet outsells all others because Chev
rolet out-values all others! That's the
verdict of discerning buyers in all parts of
the country, and it will be your verdict,
too, when you weigh the many extra-value
features Chevrolet is offering. Modern

Governor Max (krdnfcr, North Car
olina's, brilliant ' political craftsman,
was, according to Capitol gossip,
brought effectively into use by.
President Roosevelt during the un
certain days that preceded Secre
tary Hopkins' sale confirmation pas
sage through the Senate Commerce
Committee, headed by the former
WPA chief's outspoken critic, Sen
ator Josiah Bailey.
, Along with Lindsay Warren, un
disputably clever First District
Congressman (another close to the
Senator's heart) and Jesse Jones of
the RFC, . Governor Max is given
credit for having soothed the sometimes-belligerent
Bailey, erasing to
minor proportions the embarrass
ments which could have been born
of too-close questioning, and mak
ing possible the surprisingly smooth
approval of Hopkins.
WASHINGTON CHAFF "Cous
in Lon" Bolich of Winston-Salem,
former officer of the National1
Young Democrats and stalwart of
North Carolina Governor Hoey's
1936 primary campaign, suggests a
"favorite son" vote for "Cousin
Clyde" at the 1940 national con
vention. Harvey Lupton, secretary
to Congressman Folger of the Fifth
North Carolina District, knows he's
a Tar Heel, but can't quite remem
ber where he was. born. To ex
plain, his father was a Methodist
preacher. If you've ever heard his
contagious laughter, you'll know
why Third District Representative
Graham Barden, North Carolina,
bears the nick-name, "Hap." Senat
or Vandenburg, debonaire coas.erva
tive, who ranks as an outstanding
possibility for the Republican presi
dential nomination - in 1940, might
be called one of the Capital's best
dressed men ; but, with all his fancy
trappings, he kinda reminds you of
a fellow who's .smelled something
rotten and can't locate it. Tennessee-born
Bruce Barton of New
York's Seventeenth (silk-stocking)
District is also looked on as a
potential GOP nominee, Ask Demo
