ROOSEVELT HOLDS
CENTER OF STAGE
in CONGRESS ACT
MANY INCIDENTS ON CAPT.
ToL HILL QUITE DIFFERENT
NOW FROM WORKINGS OF
PRIOR SESSIONS
BY HERBERT PLUMMER

Wy ANNDSsNtN0 EEtSNb ee
WASHINGTON, June To-.
One of the interesting phases of
this session Of congress which has
been at work since q few days
after President Roosevelt's in
auguration appears in the man
ner in which individuality has
been submerged.
1t rarely fails at session
which has lasted as long as the
present one that some new name
does not flash to the fore or the
reputation of an old-timer in the
senate or house be enhanced.
Generally speaking, such has
not been the case on capitol hill
at this session. It's been pretty
much of a one-man show since
congress met on March 8. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has held the CEN
ter of the stage virtually all the
time.
This is far different from what
many observers thought would
happen at the start. Imthe house
there were 127 new members,
many Of whom had come to Wash
!, ington intent on making a name
for themselves irons the start.
Hope-Flushed Nevices
They had campaigned hard and
had promised much. They were
determined to make good. Thus
you saw an attempt al organiza-
ton among these newcomers in
the beginning which had for its
purpose wrestling from the lead
ership greater share for them
selves in the conduct Of the house.
And also there were heard many
statements like the one uttered by
new member from Nebraska:
II didn't come down here to
lean on anybody's shoulder
If we don't do any more for the
country than q lot OF old members
have, we won't stay here. We
might as well take our RESPONSE
biIity now as two years later"
AS it has turned out, nothing
much, in this respect was done
beyond bold assertions. Once the
President started his legislative
program moving and the organi-
zation OF the house eIamped down
with its iron hand, nearly eyery-
thing else was over.
Ifs and Maybes
Opportunity was not afforded
in many instances for even bold
assertions. Talk delays Iegisla-
ton, and what the administration
wanted was legislation and moi
talk.
Whether these conditions will
continue to prevail will depend
largely upon what happened after
congress quits and goes home.

Especially is Marian Tinker, di-
rector of the camp, delighted to
see a spirit of comradeship and
helpfulness among the girls. When
cameramen began to snap their
pictures, the two or three COM
pacts and lipsticks in the crowd
were passed from one to the
other. Months of unemployment
may have left them destitute, but
not depressed.

group to arrive offer an excellent
cross-section picture of the army
of unemployed and homeless
women now existent.
The white collar" element is
dominant, more than half the
group being stenographers, cleri-
cal workers and saleswomen. The
others are factory workers, seam
stresses and there is one profes-
sional dancer.

Most of the women have been
out of work for more than year,
while several of them have existed
on part time jobs for more than
two years.
Although some of the women
appeared to be undernourished,
they had managed to keep neatly
dressed. They are in high spirits
over this opportunity to spend
the summer in camp.

VARIOUS VIEWS
ENTERTAINED ON
RECOVERY ISSUE
STATED MANY BELIEVE
EMERGENCY PROGRAM
WILL END WITH ADJOURN
MENT OF CONGRESS
By BYRON PRICE

(Chief OF Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington
1t is great mistake INDUCED
in just now by large numbers of
the American people-to speak of
the adjournment of congress as
marking completion of the Roose-
welt emergency program for re-
covery.
No such view is held by the re-
sponsible officials of the admin
istration. They are gratified, ma
turally, by the legislative accom-
plishments of the special session
and by the almost unprecedented
success by Mr.. Roosevelt's legisla-
tive leadership. But they realize
very keenly that the real proof of
the new democratic pudding still
is to come.
The fact that congress has voted
extraordinary powers into the
presidents hands will mean much
or little according to the manner
in which those powers are used.
Nearly all of the avenues to ac-
ton opened up by the new legis-
lation are optional. The burden
now is on the White House to
choose what it will do and to
make a go of the particular meas
nres it selects.
.'n Just WaTnsias Up
BY mid-June only negligible
percentage of the emergency pro-
gram had come into operation at
all.
The budget still is out of balance
and must remain so for months to
come. The economy measures AMI
new taxes become effective 1T
various times over the coming
year.
The industries bill cannot OPP
crate, even on partial basis, until
time has been afforded for setting
up tremendous administrative
machine. Not spadeful Of earth
can be turned under the public
works project for weeks and per-
hapss months to come.
The Tennessee valley develop
ment exists thus far only on paper
and the conservation corps is only
partially recruited.
The administration merely has
nibbled at currency expansion. No
one has been prosecuted for hoard
ing gold. A large proportion of the
banks still are closed. and reor-
ganization proceeds slowly. The
securities reform act does not be-
come effective until late July.
Those enlarged w!h administra-
tion Of the farm relief law have
not even reached the point of
choosing which of the authorized
alternatives to adopt. The new
farm and home credit facilities
still are in process of organization.
The Maehinery's Ready
These facts have not been
basis for adverse criticism. even
among the republicans. Consider
ing the magnitude Of the problems
involved. the general disposition is
against too hasty action.
The facts do show. however.
how unwarranted Is any assump-
ton that cit is all over hut the
shouting" Congress has provided
certain powerful and intricate ma
chinery. but il remains for Mr..
Roosevelt 10 demonstrate how this
machinery will work.
Realizing this. Washington is all
the more heartened BY current evil
dcnees Of confidence and rising
price levels.
III SO much has been accomplish
ed merely on y psychological basis
Of anticipation the administration
feels increasingly confident Of
what can be done once the propus-
ed remedial measures actually be-

While the French gracefully ac-
coded to the Americna demand for
the appointment Of James M. Cox
as head of the monetary commit
tee, they viewed with apprehen-
sion late reports of change in
plans to peg the dollar.
Secretary Woodin's statement
that the United States has not
agreed to any currency stabiliza-
ton proposals in the meanwhile
had an important influence on the
conference.
The resaon assigned here for
the impasse was that Washington,s
approval was not forthcoming.
At the close Of yeserday's meet
ing It was known some delegates
considered the understanding
which repeatedly had been reached
under which the dollar will be tied
to a definite value within forty
eight hours as the first major
achievement Of the conference.

missionary from Lahore, India,
was the speaker at yesterdays
meeting of the Methodist mission
airy society held in the church So
cial hall. Miss Smith was original
" a valley resident before she took
up her missionary work, and par

cause of its intrinsic interest but
because she is an able speaker pos
sessed of a delightful personality
She illustrated her talk with vGri-
Gus articles she had collected dur
ing her years in India.

CHAMBER HAS
COUNTY MAP

The Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce has received a copy Of o. v.
Blackbun's latest map of Imperial
county, and it has been hung on
the wall for public reference. The
map is about three by five feet in
size and complete in every detail
of the county, including irrigated
area, desert and mountains. The
map is worked out in greater detail
than any former county map,
clearly marked, and easily legible
in all ways.
On this map the irrigated I'M
perial Valley is we'll defined in
green, with unirrigated areas left
in white. The East Mesa, West
Mesa, and other sections which
may be brought under irrigation by
the building of the All-American
Canal, are marked in yellow to diff
ferentiate from the desert area
which will be beyond any possible
chance OF irrigation.
The present canal system is
plainly marked, with the proposed
route of the All-American canal
we'll defined in its entirety. Trans
mission lines, railroads and high
ways are also shown clearly and
correctly.
One Of the most interesting fea-
lures of Blaekburn's new maps, ac-
cording to the chamber staff is the
the Salton Sea area, which is
shown with more completeness
than on any previous map The
Salton Sea bird refuge and duck
reserve are marked off and all gun
clubs are designated plainly. An
other feature which makes the map
valuable for reference is the plot
