The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-02-27

Washington - The president of the United States is supposed to be the most powerful man in the world, but you could not convince Herbert Hoover of 1t.
 While Roosevelt is picking men for the highest posts in the government and will be filling tens of thousands of jobs after March {, the president can't evcn make his own secretary a fed oral judge. This state of affairs seems all the more poignant when you recall that the senate, which must confirm presidential appointees, has more republicans in 1t than democrats.
 Twin victims, MT Hoover and Walter II. Newton of Minnesota sit in the White House awaiting the day when unemployment will overtake them. Nedton is a for mer congressman and for the last two or three years has been Hoover's political secretary. The other day the president sent his name to the senate for confirma- ton as @ federal district judge In Minnesota.
 Such are the ways or paTLlShn politics this year that the senate would have none of this nomina- ton and at last accounts the re- publicans who were arguing that confirmation would be q nice. gra- cious gesture to tho retiring presi- dent were not making much head way.
 1t seems that Mir Hoover originally had scheduled Newton for tho federal count of appeals, but when there didn't seem any chance of confirmation on that, decided to appoint him to tho minor place on the bench.
 Tho democrats have refused to confirm MT. Hoover's nomina- tions ever since the election. even refusing to approve some promi- nent members of their own party who were appointed to bipartisan commissions or boards. They have needed the jobs for demo- crats and in cases where demo- crats were nominated they either felt Mir Roosevelt should be al- lowed to make his own choice of democrats or that they hadn't better break their rule against combinations.
 Of course the democrats could not do 1t alone. But they found tho necessary help in their policy from three or four of the republi- can progressive senator's who bolt

Incomplete Dehation

The report of the National Transports ton Committee remarks that the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation cannot pour public treasuries into situations where there is . wasteful delta of outfowing streams ot interest on unsupportable capital structures This is as true of other public utilities and private corporations of all kinds. What the country is suffering from as much as any thing is a vast burden of overeapitalization incurred during the years when 1t was only too easy to sell stocks and bonds
 The squeezing out of corporate water IS a cruel operation. But it is inevitable and it is one of the things the depression is for, just as fever is one of natures methods of healing sick patient. In many respects we might get along better, as physicians are learning to do, by frankly recognizing that the business sickness which we call depres' sion serves wholesome purpose. and to considerable extent must be allowed to run it's course. Too quick or too drastic efforts to cure often prevent complete cure or in- vite an carly recurrence of the disease.
 Forced dehation is the natural cure of in- Aation. Money has been defated. Security prices have been dehated. Commodities have been deHated. Wages and salaries have been deAated. Capitalization has not been defated. Debt and interest. corporate and individual have not been defated. The only alternative 10 uniform dehation is big. all around In- fation.

HE REMAINS 4 SENATOR
 (New York Times)

Senator Glass has clearly stated the reasons why he declined Mir Roosevelt's offer of the Treasury. It is his desire to put himself in the best posture to fight unsound policies in federal finance, espe- cially to resist plans for open imitation. He has made up his mind that he can do this better on the floor of the senate that he could as secretary of the treasury. In the latter capacity he could. to be sure, write reports, make statements be- fore committees of congress, de- fend his views in the cabinet and give occasional interviews to the press. But fin none of these ways could he so catch the ear of the country as he might in meeting all corners in c senate debate.
 MT Glass i8 admittedly one of the most effective debatcrs in con gross. He has ample financial knowledge, he has firm c0nvlc- tons, he Is not afraid of using great plainness of speech. It is probable that he is fully cognizant of the great push for imitation. of

Great Power Awaits Roosevelt
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

ed Hoover in the election cam paign and supported Roosevelt. Some of those progresslves have a very deep hatred for Hoover.
 Newton resigned his congress sional seat to go to the White House and has been @ sort of 0 liasion officer with congress since, though his contacts have been more with the house than the senate. Although that may seem hard luck on Newton, he might very well have been de- feated along with other repub- lican congressman in Minnesota last November.
 Tell the democrats they're be- ing mean to block all those ap- pointments and they'll remind you of the closing days of the second Wilson administration when @ republican majority was blocking all the nominations he sent to the senate.
 Henry T. Rainey of Illinois wouldn't be the house majority leader now. and in line for the speakership itself if the republic cans hadn't been so tough in those udybs IbdiUcy WdB Oue OL tAo A6hus CTS in the fight against the Payne Aldrich tariff and helped get the tariff commission organized in an effort to take the tariff out of politics. He became a lame duck in the Harding landslide of 1920.
 Wilson sent his name to the senate for membership on the tariff commission and the sen- nth rafttaod f0 confirm = fha first tic 1t had ever refused to con- firm member of the house for such job.
 So Rainey ran for congress again. won and has been coming back ever since. He doesn't re- gret what the republicans did to him any more and is one of the most active gents in Washington engaged in doing things to the republicans now that democrats are to have the patronage.

eight spectacular years on the
cinder paths.
But at the head of his list of
the 10 greatest sprinters he has

bespectacled, squat little Negro
from Detroit, the ebony flash who
fed down the Olympic cinders in

Wykoff, who set the world record for
100 yards at 9.4 seconds In Los Angeles
In 1880, feels he will have to head his
list with another name, that Of Ralph

sprinter, who followed Tolan In both
Olympic triumphs.

kof rolled over in his mind the spark

day he leaped to fame as schoolboy
phenomenon by beating Charlie Pad
dock at 100 and 220 yards on the same
afternoon in California eight years ago.
Gradually he set them down in order,
and their best times for their pet dis
tances went down, too, to the best Of
his recollection. Here's his first 10.

pions upon such occasions forbidding
