Washington, Feb. 2. While there has tjeen no change,in the generally friendly attitude toward organized labor on the part of the Administration and the ma jority leaders in Congress, the de mand tor their support made by John L. Lewis, leader of the labor group which is trying organize the automobile industry workers, has had the effect of toning down much of the enthusiasm for La bor's cause. Mr. Lewis, in so many words, called upon the President t6 pay his debt to Labor for re-electing him. That brought forth a veiled but unmistakable rebuke from the President. Mr. Roosevelt's friends point out that, while un doubtedly the mass of industrial workers voted for him, there is no evidence that Mr. Lewis* Com mittee for Industrial Organization did any more in his behalf than did the American Federation of Labor, although Mr. Lewis did collect nearly half a million dol lars from members of the United Mine Workers as a contribution to the Democratic campaign fund. But neither that nor anything else, these friends say, justifies a demand by Lewis for support of one faction of organized labor in preference to another; nor can impartial observers see that the Administration is under any greater obligation to Labor than it Is to all other citizens. To all it owes impartial administration of the aws designed to insure equal justice and opportunity to everybody, and to none does it owe more than that. Reaction Against Lewis Mr. Lewis' ill-considered de mand has had the effect of mak ing the Department of Labor and all other Government agencies concerned with the Labor situa tion "lean backward" in the effort to show no favoritism and to avoid the appearance of paying off a political debt. It has also cooled Congressional ardor for some of the more advanced phases of organized Labor's pro gram. When Congress assembled there NOTICE NORTH CAROLINA, SURRY COUNTY. P. E. Morrison, J. C.

As evidenced by Deed recorded in Book 117, page 116 in office of Register of Deeds of Surry Coun ty, North Carolina. This the Ist day of February, 1937. W. M. ALLEN, 2-25 Commissioner. seemed to be a fair chance of the enactment of the much talked of thirty-hour week law. Now that outlook seems very dim. And un til the Supreme Court finally rules on the constitutionality of the Wafener Labor Relations Act, on which arguments have lately been heard, there is' hesitation on the part of the Government to invoke its provisions in the Gen eral Motors strike. The electric power situation has come out into the open. Chairman Arthur Morgan of TV A forced the issue with a public statement of his position, which is, In brief, that there should be a pooling of interests between TV A and the private power companies in its territory. f This attitude is bitterly oppos ed by David Lilienthal, Dr. Mor gan's second In command, and by Senator George Norris, ''Father TVA." They want private power companies put out of business. Each side would like to have the President lined up with is, but he has so far resisted all efforts to force his hand for a commitment one way or the other. President's Power Committee The president will eventually decide as between the two diver gent power policies but to gain time, and test the strength of public opinion behind each point of view, Mr. Roosevelt has ap pointed a power policy oommittee with Secretary Ickes of the In terior Department as its chair man. The belief prevailing here is that the Ickes committee will re port in favor of the Morgan pol icy of cooperation with private power interests wherever the Gov ernment engages in public works which result In power production, and that the President will ac cept that as the Administration's policy. Unless there is a reorganization of the executive departments call ing for additional Cabinet de partments, the belief here now is that the President will make no changes in his Cabinet for some time to come. Only one Cabinet position be comes vacant by law when a President's term ends. That is the Postmaster General, and Mr. Roosevelt promptly reappointed Mr. Parley to that post. Mr. Par ley has stated publicly that he wants to get out of Government service if he can find a good job with a future in it in private bus iness, but until such an opportun ity turns up he will trail along with the President. A permanent Secretary of War to replace Harry Woodring, whose appointment has been regarded as a temporary stop-gap, may be appointed shortly, but unless some Cabinet officer dies or re signs no other changes are now expected. Secretary Daniel C. Roper of the Department of Commerce, whom many regarded before elec tion as being on the way out, is said to have lined up such power ful political backing among the Southern Senators that it would be impolitic for the President to ask for his resignation. Court Legislation Fades Talk of legislation affecting the Supreme Court is dying down. There is no probability either that the number of justices will be in creased by statute, or that any law restricting the authority of the court will be enacted. In case of a vacancy, which is not at all unlikely when the ad vanced age of most of the Su preme Court Justices is consider ed, it is thought likely that Pres ident Roosevelt will announce a policy of picking a Judge from one of the union Federal courts. This would relieve him from anv obli gation to name Senator Robin son of Arkansas, the majority leader, who roost ardently desires a seat on the Supreme Bench. COOL SPRINGS I Mrs. w. W. Darnell and Mrs. L. W. Casey were joint hostesses to about 40 of the community young people Monday evening, honoring their daughters, Misses Stella Mae Darnell and Virginia Casey.
