| DL WMBWVHNtIGM We VMMKAkN | United preBs Stan CoFFespOndent) Washington, June 22. (UP)--- Congress has left with President as no chief executive before him ever dreamed.
 From the amount of gold in the dollar to the amount of water in q quart of oysters, President Ro0He. veit'B word ig supreme. From the texas oil wells to the New York stock exchange his signature ts all powerful He can tell the Georgia farmer how crop cotton to plant, the Illinois banker how much in- ter0st to charge, and the Pennsy1- vania coal miner how many hours t0 work.
 There is hardly any phase of Am0fican life which the Presi. dents influence, empowered by law, does not touch, The repubIi- can senatorial gongressiona com mitto0 to-day compared MT Roose- welt 10 MussOIIni, saw in his mounting powers Ian end to ilber- ty" and called them .an expression of "the socialist idea"
 The democrats rctOrted that the President must have these extra ordinary powers to combat the dc. precision. They point with pride to Drogross 50 far made and insist that President Roosevelt has no idea of making himself 2n Ameri. can dictator, The President him. seId says little, works hard, sets up new recovery aids and prepares for G lengthy vacation.
 A resume of the records of the last two congresses indicates that MT Roosevelt has been delegated ail powerful control Of American industry, HnanGo, transportation, international trade, agriculture, labor, and the tnter.FeIations of any one to another, Tho specific powers of the President are diVid- cd among these I2 major pro- grams:
 1. Businoss control through the national recovery administration, with authority to regulate through codes the ninutest details of com petition.
 z. Agricultural control, iBcIud- Ing processing taxes tO help the farmer, and crop control reguIn- u0Ds to help him heIf himself.
 2. Labor control, through the NltA WageB and hours provisions and through the new labor bill providing for arbitration of dIs- put0B,
 {. Stock market control, with a board appointed by him tO admin lster tho securities net, which Out- laws d0ubtful pr0Gtlces and sets UD rules under which brokers and Gxs changes must operate.
 (. Comm Iunic1tl0ns control, af. feetipg tho telephone, the telegraph and the radio and designed 10 zoe ordinate them.
 {. O1 control, through the pct. roIeurn administration, IN0t as ef. fectlV6 ns the president would Ilk6 because Of the failure of cOnKrem Co pass h moro c0mDFGh enBlye btIi)
 [, H6l1rOGd control, through his federal Gos0rdinat0r, with power tO scale down capital iDdebtedness, eliminate useless competition and hband0ne paying lines.

 12. issjlcf control, wherein tho f6dGr6l emergency r0iief admins. trGti0n superVises practically al re' lief activities in tho country and gives shoes Co the penHiless city man and cows to the drought stricken farmer.
 Perhaps the only aspect of Am. erlGGn life which b0s escaped con. tr0i by President ItO0ssvejt in ono way or another s the press. Mr Roosevelt has emphasized his do. sire tO have nothing whatever tO do with regulation of newspaper publishing, except insofar as wages and hours arc concerned.
