BRAIN TRUST
TARGET FOR
CONGRESS
By FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
! Although the new Congress is
ready to be dominated by the
Administration, there were indi
cations here today that some Of
the members are preparing to
enjoy a field day" with the re-
manning members of the socalled
"Brain Trust"
The tits will not come on the
floors of the Senate and House,
but will develop in the committee
rooms of both Houses.
It was learned today that sew
eral of these differences have al
ready developed during the pre-.
aiminary sessions which tn e
House Committee on Appropria,
tions has held in connection with
the supply bills for next year.
Hearings Secret
These hearings, under the law,
are necessarily secret. No mem
ber of Congress would lay him.
self open to the charges which
would arise from his revealing
what goes on in the committee
room.
Nevertheless, enough has
leaked out to indicate that the
popularity elected representatives
of the people are not ready to
let themselves be lied by the
nose" by college boys" who are
now considered to be in the
dominant position in the Admin
1Stration.
And the appropriation hear
tngs are held to be simply an
indication of what will happen
when the college boys" appear
before the legislative committees
which will have to consider the
various proposals which neces'
sarily will be made for continu.
ance of some of the laws under
which many of the emergency
agencies" of the Government are
now operating.
Tugwell Is Target
Farm legislation is about to
bring Prof. Rexford TugWell un
der the fire of the congressional
committeeman.
The various proposals for fis
cal and banking legislation-and
they will be many-Will bring
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau and his Junior brain
trust" before committees.
When the legislation in regard
to the continuance of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act
comes befc"e Congress, and thai
will be D in the session, some
of the 4glnal Brain Trusters'
and later adherents of theil
cause will be called upon to ties
tify.

The Post Office Department has
challenged authority of the Inter

carriage.
Taking a definite stand against
proposals to boost pay of air
mail contractors, postal officials

PHONE PARLEY
HITS GAMBLERS

District officials today were
planning to attack gamblers here
on a new front. They hope, it was
said, to drive them out, or at least
put a big dent in their business,
by shutting off telephone service.
When a number of raided gam
ing resorts were found to have
elaborate Switchboards with a
maze of wires to keep them in
.,.Ich with the race tracks and
their agents in the numbers"
racket, the District Attorneys Of
flee went into conference with off,
cials of the Public Utilities Com
mission and the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company.
Today an agreement for cooper
alton between the three was in
prospect and the "big shot gam
bling operators seemed due for a
jolt.
The telephone company has
agreed to shut off service where
telephone equipment has been
altered by subscribers after in.
stallation by the company, and
where the District Attorneys Of
flee produces evidence to show
the phone service is being used
in an illegal business.
This promise came after Dis
trict Attorney Garnett declared
he would be compelled to name
the telephone company in indict-
ments against gambling opera
tors when it was found the lat
ter were using telephones in their
their business.
1t was said many of the large
scale racketeers here import ex-
pert electricians to install elabo-
rate phone systems. In one place

D. {. TAX STUDY
: MAY EXPEDITE
CITY FUNDS

Congressional consideration of
che District appropriations bill is
expected to be expedited as a re.
suit of the study the President is
having made of District taxes
with view to determining what
proportion of the city's financial
burden should be borne by the
Federal Government.
While not admitting that the
two appropriations committees Of
the Congress will accept the rcN
suits of the study as definite
mandate as to what should be
done, Senator Elmer Thomas tDD
OF Oklahoma, chairman Of the
Senate District appropriations
subcommittee, today said he is
gratified to learn that the PreSi.
dent is having the study made,
and added:
"If the President takes some
position in this matter, it will
almost control the situation, 1
believe, especially in view Of the
large majority the Admins
tratiOn party has in both
houses.
THE President, in this case,
Is somewhat like jury. l am
glad he is taking the initiative in
the matter. The decision reached
by this study will at least give
us something to shoot at. If
the figure recommended is too
high, there will be some who
will attempt to have 1t reduced,
and similarly, if it is too low
there will be some who will
want to increase it.
"WhiIe 1 would not say that
we are bound to accept this fig
ure, 1 doubt if the committee
considering the District bill can
do much else besides what he
recommends"
Virtually every year, the District
appropriations bill becomes in
Volved in a battle between the
House and Senate Appropriations
Committee, and often the center
of the controversy is the lump sum
figure, with the House always seek
ing to keep it down and the Senate
insisting on increasing it.
Senator Thomas has fought for
increasing the lump sum amount
to about $9,OO0,OOO, but often he
has had to yield to the demands
of the House Members for ma
terially lower figure so as to break
the deadlock.
