Keeping Congress On Job
Strengthens Administration
By James T. Williams, Jr.

have so long denounced their
political opponents for doing.
But the retreat to gag rule Is
ever the last resort of a legis-
lative majority bereft of strong
leadership.
And the Democratic majority
in the House today is so over
whelming as to be unavoidable
unless it is led by experienced
legislators with the natural gift
of leadership or unless it is
dragged and driven by means of
gag rule.
When the Republicans boast
of gaining so Republicans at
the next election, they fail to
tell the public that such gain
would be of tremendous help to
President Roosevelt's legislative
leadership. 1t would cut down
the majority membership by so
members. And the majority
membership could be even fur.
Their reduced with advantage to
the Administration.
Faces Facts
Furthermore, the Republican
minority in the House is now so
small that it cannot provide
that effective opposition which
puts the majority on its mettle
and enables it under strong
leadership to function effec-
lively.
Keeping Congress in session
until it carries out his legisla-
tive program will help the Presi-
dents leadership in another di-
rection. It will enable him to
save the country the expense,
and his Administration the EN-.
barrassment, of an extra session
in the autumn, barring an un-
foreseen national emergency.
AS a result of the Presidents
courage and foresight in meet
ing the minority filibuster by a
challenge to the Congress to stay
on the job until it's work is done,
he demonstrates again the truth
of Calvin Coolidge's wise warn
ing that under the American
system of government there is
no substitute for the leadership
Of the Presidency"
From the day he entered the
White House President Roose-
welt has had the courage and
the common sense to face this
fact and follow where it led. 1t
is one secret of his extraordinary
success.

The Washington times., 1934-06-05

1t is a wise President who con-
serves the power of his legisla-
tive leadership upon which the
ultimate fate of his administra-
ton so largely depends.
This President Roosevelt has
again done by refusing to permit
the Congress TO quit under fire
of a minority filibuSter and be-
fore the major measures of the
Presidents legislative program
have been enacted into law.
BY keeping Congress in ses-
sion for another two weeks, the
President, as the titular head of
the party in power. strengthens
his position as it's legislative
leader at both ends of the Capt.
toll and adds to the prestige of
his Administration here and
overseas.
Gag Rule
It will be easier from now on
for such leaders as his party has
in the Senate, and for the nomi-
nal substitute for leaders from
which it suffers in the House, to
send to the President for ap-
prevail such other measures in
his relief and recovery program
as he believes to be essential for
the country's welfare.
The Presidents legislative
leadership in this Congress has
time and again been embarraSs-
ed by the confusion worse con-
founded that so frequently over
takes the overwhelming Demo
cratic majority in the House.
For the remainder of the ses-
sion this chaotic condition will
be dealt with by the most dras-
tic of gag rules. The adoption
of such a rule would probably
never have been necessary in
a House led by Representative
John McDuffie, of Alabama, and
the able group that rallied to
the support of Mr.. Duffie in
the last Congress.
It would have been better for
the party could it have been
spared the humiliation of self
qualification involved in the
adoption of such a drastic gag
rule as that to which the ma
jority party retreated last week.
For years the Representatives
of the Democratic party in the
House have bitterly condemned
such rules when the Repub-
licans forced them through. And
now the Democrats have done
the very thing for which they

Created as the voice of a ma
tons people, the House of Rep
resentativeS has become the
mouthpiece of the President.
When the trainers of the
Constitution provided for the
House, it was expected that it
would be the meeting place of
representatives of the country'S
voters. These representatives
were to act in accordance with
the wishes of their electors.
Today, the lower branch of
Congress has become the wait
ing room for the errand boys
of the White House.
Under the whip of Admins
tration leaders, the House has
adopted a special rule which
will be in effect for the re-
mainder of the session. It pro-
videS that the Speaker may en-
terrain motions to suspend the
rules of the House at any time.
1t stipulates that the majority
leader may move to recess
whenever he so desires instead
of being forced to obtain
unanimous consent. 1t suspends
the necessary two-thirds' vote
required to consider reports
from the powerful Committee
on Rules.
The new rule takes away
from the minority the atomic
bit of power it possessed. Until
adoption of the special rule 145
members could petition to dis
charge any committee from
further consideration of legis-
lation. That procedure was the
last remaining vestige of minor
ity influence.
Under the new rule the
Speaker, the majority leader
and the chairman of the Rules
Committee control all legiSla-
ton. In their hands rests the
fate OF every bill. Unless they
give approval no group in the
House can force consideration
of any measure.
Domination of the House by
Thomas Bracket CBoss") Reed
and Joseph G. CCzar'D Cannon,
who were Speakers in years
gone by, has long been regarded
as the most despotic tyranny
ever witnessed.
Cannon and Reed were anna
teurs.
In their most tyrannical mo-
ments they would not have
dared to suggest a rule such as
the House adopted recently.
Cannon and Reed we're des-
pots. But they had initiative.
They bosSed the House as they
saw fit. They had ideas of
their own.
Cannon and Reed saw their
tyrannical reigns broken. They
witnessed their kingdoms of
power crumble into dust.

head should look to the future.
AS the Dickstein committee
of the House widens the scope
of its investigation, certain
agencies that have been utter
ing versive propaganda
against the interests of the
United States are worried.

will go in its inquiry to deter

The creating resolution, how

They expect to investigate all

Representative John Hoeppel,
endeavoring to vote against gag
rule, stood up against the wishes
of his Democratic colleagues.
Representative BrasWell Deem
of Georgia, a friend, endeavored
to make Mr.. Hoeppel sit down
by Juggling at the tails of his
coat.
Across the aisle Representa-
tive Ralph R. Elise of Califor-
mia witnessed the Juggling. Elise,
too. was against the rule.
Stepping across the aisle he
tried to prevent Deem from in
terfering with Hoeppel. Fists
and words flew.
Neither was effective. They
were separated.
Early in 1917. when the war
controversy was flaming, Thorn
as Helm of Alabama was a
member of the House.
A burly statesman, he hurled
accusations of pro-Germanism
against several members.
One of the members to whom
TON" referred was Patrick D.
Norton of North Dakota.
Norton was a former football
player, cowboy, and all
around athlete.
When, unfortunately for Mr..
Helm, he reflected on Pat
Norton walked deliberately
across to where Tom stood.
Selling the ALBANIAN in real
football fashion he hurled Mr..
Helm under the seats.
Had it not been for the inter
ference of Pats colleagues, it is
doubtful whether Helm would
have lived to utter further &C
cusations in later days.

little more than a gesture.

the BoWery to the Barbary
Coast and Tahiti; black men,
yellow men, white men, 400 of
the toughest, toughest scrap
pers that could be picked up.
But the prize exhibit of the
outfit was a dynamite gun,
which had been invented by an
American Army officer named
Zalinski. The gun was tube
40 feet long which fired a
6-foot cartridge of dynamite
containing 400 pounds of the
stuff.
The captain, who had been
signed to command the Nicthe-
roy, as they had renamed the
Ell Cid, decided he didn't have
any real taste for South Amer
lean revolutions, SO young
Hawkins was elected to the
command and away they went
to Brazil, with Captain Cliff
on the bridge. He took the
Nictheroy into Rio harbor just
as Admiral Mello, the rebel,
showed ITO with his battleShip,
Aquidaban.
Hawkins knew that his ship
wouldn't last five minutes
against the big guns of the
battleShip and he did some
pretty quick thinking. He fig
ured that the fellow who got
in the first punch would have
a big advantage. So, when the
Aquidaban doomed up within
1000 yards of the Nictheroy,
Hawkins trained the dynamite
gun on her.
Ends Revolution
He had never fired the
contraption, and nobody ex-
cept the inventor had the
slightest idea what would hap
pen when it did let go. But
it was grounding case, so
Captain Cliff trained the dyna-
mite tube on the Aquidaban,
took a big breath and tried to
think of prayer. His eyes
were tightly closed but he
looked up as he heard the
savage swish of the 40O-pound
dynamite cartridge leaving the
gun.
He saw it spiraling and cork
Screwing high in the air and
straight toward the battleship.
But it didn't hit the battle
ship. 1t passed high over her
to land smack on the crown
of the big hill on the edge
of the harbor. Then came a
mighty roar. The earth shook.
A million tons of earth and
rock spouted skyward. When
the smoke. cleared away, there
wasn't any hill. Just a hole
in the ground.
And when Captain Hawkins
and his dazed crew got a
glimpse of the Aquidaban.
they saw Admiral Mello and
his battleShip fading into the
distance, going at : forced
draught running like a scared
rabbit. That one epic shot
ended the current revolution.
Ten days later Admiral Mello
shot himself in the harbor of
Bahia.
