2 New Dealers Have Faded Somewhat
From the Washington Recovery Picture

crate of others, and in the N. r. A.
has won his principal battles as q
negotiator and adjuster Of differences.
Through his patience and persistence,
industries wracked by civil war have
been brought to peace, diSorganizeo
industries have been organized ana
problems that seemed impossible OF
solution have been settled.
=
As a matter Of fact, the punitive
powers of the recovery act have not
been put to extensive use. The gen.
erals whole idea is that industry can
regulate itself and that the Govern
ment should enter the picture with
its power only as last resort.
But Gen. johnson knows there are
new dealers of prominence who are
after his scalp. He has said that ne
would step out of office on the first
hint from the President. His loyalty
to the President is complete. And
Mr.. Roosevelt returns that loyalty.
1t is considered very unlikely that
If a change does come in the N. r. A.
leadership it will be caused by any
White House move.
The difficulty is that N. r. A. Is
under attack from all sides and may
require new leadership to carry 1t
through the crisis that it confronts.
That crisis grows out OF the fol-
lowing developments:
A sudden, outspoken. labor hostil-
ity to N. r. A. policies on the ground
that it Is favoring employers.
A big business attack because OF
asserted friendliness to organized
labor shown in N. r. A. policies.
An underlying hostility OF the A.
A. A. toward N. r. A. because OF the
conflict inherent in their price-rais-
ing detectives.
A small businessman hostility be-
cause of alleged monopolistic tend
encies OF N. r. A., which also have
been attacked by the Federal Trade
Commission.
An opposition in Congress to poll
cies that some Congressman THINK
are giving big industries an unfair
advantage.
If business continues to improve.
these attacks are expected to lead
to abandonment or sharp contraction
of most N. r. A. activities when the
next Congress takes up the future OF
the organization.
As for future money policies, uncer-
tainty shrouds them in degree. How
ever. the President very definitely has
shown a desire to return to orthodox
principles.
Prof. Warren, who sold the gold
buying policy on the ground that 1t
would raise prices by increasing the
price of gold in terms Of dollars, has
left as mysteriously as he came.
He always operated in the back
ground. His hobby had been the con-
nection between the supply and the
price of gold and the prices OF other
commodities. His theories had i'm
pressed Henry Morgenthau. jr., now
Secretary of the Treasury, who was a
student in the professors classes
while at Cornell.
Prof. Warren lodged newspaper
men. He had small office in the
Commerce Building. Now he seldom
is seen in Washington and the infla-
tionists have turned to other panaceas
in their search for the key to the So
luton of money troubles.

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. 20
U.N.SO.-President Roosevelt set
tied into the restful schedule Of
an annual vacation in his "other
home in the South" here today.
After a breakfast of eggs and
bacon, the President swung into
the schedule he usually main
tains daily while here. He was
happily splashing around in the
buoyant waters of the Warm
Springs swimming pool at 10 a. m.
Governors to Call
Later in the day a delegation
from the Southeastern Governors
Conference, meeting now in At
lanta, was scheduled to meet the
Executive. The gathering of gov
ernors in the Little White House"
was expected to be almost entirely
social, however.
Except for this Semi-informal
meeting with the governors, the
Presidents engagement schedule
has been left pretty well open.
A week or more of correspond
ence which has piled up since
the Executive left Washington
claimed Mr.. Roosevelt's attention
today in spite of his program of
recreation. He tackled the baskets
of routine work after his mbrning
swim.
A number of important confer
ences lie ahead of the President
during his stay here in spite of his
desire to be private citizen on
a holiday for a while.
Richberg in Atlanta
Donald R. Richberg, the number
two man in the Administration
and head of the policy forming
body of the NRA setup, was in
Atlanta today. He was not ex-
pected here before nightfall, but
undoubtedly will be a visitor be.

train for his return trip to Wash
ington early in December.
Other callers here may include
Acting Director of the Budget

expects to have most of his bud

first of the year, and to do so
he must necessarily give some
thought to this important matter

Byrns Sees Harmony
Representative Joseph Byrns, Of
Tennessee, Democratic House
leader, said:
"I think Congress will be In
entire harmony with the Pres
idents program. We have .
mandate from the people. The
attitude of the people is to give
the program of the President .
! chance to work.
Everywhere I went during
the campaign President ROOse-
welt and the New Deal was the
issue, although some Republi-
cans SOft-pedaled it. I don't
think this is going to be such q
radical Congress. But this is a
progressive age and Congress
will give heed to progressive
legislation"
In some instances, Admlnlstra-
tion leaders say, candidates ex'
cepted the veterans issue from a
general pledge to support the Ad'
ministration.
While declining to forecast the
attitude of the House on the
bonus, Representative Byrns said:
"It depends much on how it
comes"
WAIT ON PRESIDENT
The House, with 322 Democrats,
will await President Roosevelt'S
recommendations before mapping
out a legislative program, Repre-
sentative Byrns said. Because 1t
will require days to organize the
House, including election Of
Speaker, the session may be late
getting under way.
President Roosevelt expects the
session to be comparatively brief.
House leaders are prepared to re-
strict the program as far as pos"
sible to that submitted by the Ad-
ministration. Adjournment in
early spring, however, is unlikely,
