The 75th Congress, which has just be gun its first session, has plenty of real work ahead for it. Like its two predecessors it will take its guidance from the White House. There will be much talk about "Congressional Independence," but it is a safe assumption that no measures of vital importance will be initiated or enacted by Congress without the approval of the Administration. Also, most of the new legislation will be on the initiative of the President. This is quite natural, since the only pattern 01 plan for the fu ture is In the Presidept's keeping. And while the plan is not yet fully disclosed, the general understand ing here is that it will move substantially the same lines as during the past four years. Prob ably fewer new ideas will be put into lay. Attention no doubt will be chiefly centered on consolidat ing the changes already made and revising the enac».i.uats of the past two Congresses to make the laws more workable. The Big Job Ahead One of the important jobs to be done is the reorganization of the Executive bureaus and de partments. Almost every President has tried to do this, but their ef forts have been generally blocked by Congress. Just before President Hoover went out of office he said that either "Congress must keep its hands off now, or they must give to my successor much larger pow ers of independent action than have been given to any President." The response of Congress was to enact a law, before Mr. Roosevelt's inauguration, vesting .n the Pres ident broad and sweeping author ity to consolidate, eliminate and rearrange executive bureaus. Last March the President named a committee to study and report to him which of the new agencies should be scrapped or reduced and how the survivors could be consolidated. Committees of the House and Senate also be gan to study the subject. The outlook now is for pretty general rearrangement of governmental departments, with greater effic iency and simplifications as the main objective. The main obstacle to a logical egrouping of administrative func tions may be found in Congress itself, for the element of political patronage cannot be overlooked. Moreover, most of the government departments and bureaus have well-organized methods of put ting "pressure" on Congress to in crease rather than cut down their powers and perquisities. Mr. Roosevelt stands a better chance of getting Congressional support in the face of these pow erful "pressure blocs" than any previous President ever had. Snuff Boxes Filled Preparations for the opening of Congress were completed by the filling of the two snuff-boxes which stand on either side of the door to the Senate Chamber. This is an ancient custom, dating from George Washington's time. There are still four or five Senators who are regular snuff-takers, and many more who take an occasion al pinch from the Senatorial snuff-boxes, on the theory that a good sneeze helps to ward off an impending cold and clears the Senatorial head for debatte. The "baby" of the Senate, 30- year-old Rush D. Holt of West Virginia, is being disciplined by his elder colleagues for the insur gency which he displayed last year. Mr. Holt was outspoken in his criticism of Harry Hopkins, Fed eral Relief Administrator, and during the political campaign he also opposed the re-election of Senator M. M. Neeley, his Demo cratic colleague from West Vir ginia. Mr. Holt has now been formally notified by the chairman of the Senate patronage committee, Sen ator Hayden, that he will not be allowed to name any persons for Jobs in the Capitol. T. V. A. Has Trouble There is an explosion in pros pect insidie the T. ,V. A. which may have wide-spread conse quences. It is no secret that Ar thur w. Morgan, T. V. A. admln ist. ator, and his assistant, David Lillienthal, are at swords' points. Their differences are on funda mental issues of policy. Dr. Mor gan wants to carry out the Tenn essee Valley improvements along sound engineering lines and sell the power developed to power companies for distribution. Mr. Lillienthal would encour ! age and aid the establishment of publicly-owned distribution sys tems, to put the power companies out of busihess. President Roosevelt arranged a truce between the two points of view at a White House conference last Pall, but it now seems that he . will be forced to take sides with j either Mr. Morgan or Mr. Lillien thal. The President's decision will no doubt give a key to the Ad ministration's attitude toward public utilities. For a hundred years or so there has been much talk of limiting Presidents to a single term, but making it longer. Talk of that sort has been revived, and 1-Represen tative George H. Tirkham, the bewhiskered Congressman from Boston, has a joint resolution ready to submit for a Constitu tional amendment fixing the Piesidentiai term at six years ana no re-election. While the general idea is favor ed by man; members of both Houses, it would stand a bev*«r chance of serious consideration, no doubt, if it came from a Dem ocratic member instead of a Re publican.
