wsfmKill Washington, November 3. l nterest here is divided between the outlook for the special session of Congress on November 15th and the appointment by the President of his son "Jimmy" as corordi natcr of Federal commissions and bureaus. The heads of the eigh teen largest independent and "emergency"-government agencies will hereafter report to James Roosevelt instead of to Franklin D. Young Mr. Roosevelt will give each of them half an hour of time once a week, in which they are to tell him their troubles and Believe it or not Some day you are going to wish you were insured I.

Next Door to Turner Drug Co. Elkm, N. C. bring up matters which seem to call for Presidential decision. Through the medium of his son, the President will be kept inform ed of the acts and problems of these agencies, saving a great deal of Presidential time and labor. Something of the sort was includ ed in the proposal for adminis trative reorganization which Mr. Roosevelt submitted to the Con gress early in the year. Included in that plan was a recommenda tion for six Executive assistants to perform for the President in all departments just what James Roosevelt is now undertaking to do in eighteen departments. Washington Likes "Jimmy" That "Jimmy," as everybody in Washington calls him, will be able to do the job is generally believ ed. Since James Roosevelt quit his nsurance business in Boston a :ouple of years ago to join his father in Washington, first as a sort of personal attendant in his capacity as a Marine Corps re serve officer and for nearly a year now as a regularly appointed member of the White House sec retariat, "Jimmy" has been mak ing friends among politicians and administrative officials, who re gard him as his father's mouth oiece, and latterly among the newspaper correspondents, with whom he is the most popular press representative the President has yet had. Newspaper men be lieve he will make good in a job, which, on the fade of it, looks like a heavy load for a young man -.till under thirty. He must have almost unbeliev able tact, for he will be dealing with much older men of wider Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with any remedy less potent than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble and aids na ture to soothe and heal the inflamed mucous membranes and to looeen and expel the germ-laden phlegm. Even if other remedies have failed, dont be discouraged, try Creomul sion- Your druggist is authorized to refund your money if you are not thoroughly satisfied with the bene fits obtained from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is one word—not two, and it has no hyphen in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and you'll get the genuine product and the relief you want. (Adv.) THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA experience and personal pride of position, who are good Judges of men, and are going to be wary of the youngster until they have got his meastire. Moreover, men like Chairman Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board, Harry Hopkins, Relief Administrator, Jesse Jones of the R. P. C. and the others, are not going to be put off easily when they want to see the Pres ident himself. They must feel that his office door is open to them when they feel it necessary to see him, or they won't play. The Chance of a lifetime Therefore, Washington is ask ing "Can Jimmy get away with it?" Has he the capacity to un derstand and absorb the questions placed before him, the skill to pre sent them accurately and briefly to the President, and the person ality to get answers and action? If he has such ability and such frankness that nobody can ever pin upon him the sign of the double cross, he has the most brilliant opportunity that could come to a young man with am bitions about his own political fu ture. He may easily become a more significant and effective figr ure in the Federal Government than most of its elected officials and many of its appointed judges. The physical strain will be enormous, but "Jimmy" has shown himself able to stand a lot. Over six feet tall, slender and sinewy, he has plenty of endur ance. As a "double Roosevelt" his mother was born Roosevelt, the niece of "T. R."—he has all of the charm and good looks of the family, plus tact and patience In full measure. He puts on no "side," and makes a decidedly pleasing impression upon almost everybody who meets him. And if he makes good in his new job of saving his father's time and strength and, especially, in con veying to him the precise facts about conditions in the offices which are to report to him, he will be a decidedly useful public servant. Special Congress Faces Dilemma As to the special session of Congress, Washington observers are skeptical about its finishing any important part of the pro gram of legislation for which the President called it. Mr. Roosevelt has asked for a broader program of farm relief, but accompanied that with an insistent demand that Congress must find the mon ey, without running up expenses above income. That means new taxes, and the general tax revision bill cannot possibly be got into shape even for debate on the floor of Congress before the reg ular session begins In January. In the meantime, Secretary Wallace, sensing the political necessity of doing as much for the corn far mers as the Government has done for the cotton growers, is search ing with the aid of the Director of the Budget, for unused appro priated funds which can be ap plied to corn loans. Cotton loans of 9 cents a pound have been made to growers who disregarded Federal warnings and Increased their acreage to produce a bumper crop and a huge surplus. The corn growers, on the other hand, increased their acreage by 10 percent this year at the ur gent Insistence of the Department of Agriculture. With good weath er conditions the result is a corn crop of 2 1-2 million bushels, glut ting the market. To enable far mers to carry their corn over Mr. Wallace feels the Government should lend them up to 45 cents a bushel on warehoused corn, and that probably will be done. White Honse Opposition Grows Politically, Congress seems like ly to be as self-willed and inde pendent in the special session as it was when the regular session adjourned. Most of the leaders re sent being called into extra ses sion and are coming back to Washington less inclined than ever to follow a White House blue-print for legislation. In the Senate, many here expect, there will be a strong effort to replace Senator Barkley as majority lead er and elect Senator Pat Harris on in his place. Senator Joe Rob inson's seat as Senator from Ar kansas will be filled by Repre sentative Joseph E. Miller, just elected as an independent Dem ocrat over Governor Bailey, who ran an out-and-out New Dealer. Senator Miller is expected to vote with the anti-White-House group on major issues.
