Citron Surprised
 At AssemDly's Act
Congressman Calls State Legislatures Vote Gesture
 Against President Pledges Aid to People of Conn
BY PAUL MAY


 Washington, D. C., March 4--Ef. forts will be made by Representa- tive William Citron to secure the benefits of the federal rural re. mobilization program for the people of Connecticut without the coopefs alton of the state, he announced Friday.
 This statement was made in view of the stand the Connecticut legis-- lature took in defeating the bill on rural rehabilitation before that body recently.
 MT Cltron expressed great dis. appointment over the legislatures action on the matter and declared 1t was nothing but the playing of politics that defeated the bill.
 By voting down the bill," MT Citron said, ''it was a gesture aimed to break down confidence in MT Roosevelt and the New Deal ad- ministration. was both surprised and disappointed.
 Excuses for the defeat of the bill were made on the grounds that bureaucracy and bureaucrats are opposed by the legislature. I too am opposed to these things but such an idealistic plan as the rural rehabilitation, program should not be killed on such fiimsy excuse as that.
 1T blame to a large extent the FILA and the rural rehabilitation bureau for the defeat of the bill In my state because they don't know how to defend their own program and did not send the right kind of people to explain its purposes to the people of Connecticut.
 Inquiry Started
 "The people of my state are en- titled to receive the benefits under this program and I shall do every thing in my power to get these benefits for. them even if the state does refuse to cooperate with the federal government. l don't know IS yet what can be done on the matter. but I shall start investigat.. ing immediately and do everything possible for the Connecticut people who are entitled to and should re- ceive help of this kind"

 And starts the season of Lent. This in-between-season spirits lag, Housewives are busy with new dishes; They lay off bit on heavy winter fare To concentrate on Lenten fare and fishes. Now is the winter of our discontent Adding constantly to our woes; Sonny's reefer won't last another week, And sster-just look at her clothes!

Loses Strong Support

Roosevelt's trend toward the Fright" in the last year hasn't been pronounced enough to attract gen . uine support from Big Business. It has been definite enough to alien- ate much public support, and to disappoint and confuse the one strong element which he could pre- viously depend on to fight for him mild liberals and progressivcS.
 His resultant weakness has en- couraged certain democrats who went along with him, while hating his program, to turn against him.
 The situation calls for a display of Roosevelt strength and popular z appeal--without which the New Deal will remain badly begged.

THE
 NEW DEAL WASHINGTON
New Dealers Fear They'll Be Sunk If WOrk-R Relief Is Beaten .. Weak Lead ership in Senate Hurts.
By RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington
 COrrcspOndncnt

Washington, March 4-Good or bad, the $4,88O, 100000 work-relief program is of supreme importance to Roosevelt. Not only is 1t an issue involving his future control over Congress Tn this pre- election year 1t Is the administrators one big bet that the New Deal can be kept from sagging into unpopularity and po- litical chaos.
 Coupled with the social insur- ance bills, whose designed effect would be supplementary to 1t and which are also having a very hard time. 1t is F. D.'s lone blue chip in a great game against forces of reaction. depression, and partisan politics which threaten to steal his shirt.
 REMEMBER:
 1. The promise that every
 able-bodied person shall have
 work Is the only new point in
 the current Roosevelt program
 which can stir the imagination
 of the masses which in the
 past have supported him.
 2. The four billions are
 necessary. according to all
 present indications to prop
 the economic structure through
 summer, fall, and winter.
 3. The administrators poe
 liticad security hangs largely
 on it's ability to continue dis
 tribution of large sums of
 money.
 Many Roosevelt men, idealists and politicians alike, privately ex- claim:
 If we don't get this, we're sunk"
 K. R. Lets Victory Escape,
 Roosevelt presumably will win the fght--at least to the extent of getting that $4,8S0, 900, ,000. Be- cause he must win 1t.
 But the handling of the measure has been so bad as to restrain con- fident predictions. Rooseyelt's friends secretly are disappointed at the presidents own failure to avert the licking he took in the Senate on the prevailing wage" amendment-which threw the situ- alton into chaos.
 Sarcastic comment referring to the Ely Club' at Harvard
 Is heard in the New Deal
 camp. ExcrtlOn from the
 White House could have saved
 Roosevelt the single vote
 which defeated him.
 It could have reassured A. r. of l.. leaders-who were wavering-. to the point where they wOIIl1 havo lessencd their successful insistence on the amendment.
 It could have so dramatized the huge work-relief measure that pas- sage would have been assured. At least, so say many of the presi- dents friends.

Huey Outgenerals Foes

That doesn't shed any prettier light on the Senate leaders-Joe Robinson, Pat Harrison, and Jim !. my Byrnes. They were sure they had the votes. They were boosting that they would show their su- prcmacy.
 They spread their confidence to Roosevelt. All southern conserva- lives who would never have fa- vored such bill without admin istration orders, they nevertheless s thought they knew what they were talking about. And then they found them. selves OutmaDeuvcrcd to de.
 feat on the Senate floor by Senator Hucy F. Long! When you recall that the democrats have the biggest Senate ma. jority any party has ever had, the position the administration and its leadership found themselves in-and are still in seems rather pitlful.
 It incidentally dem onstrated a fact long well-known in Washing ton-that Huey is smarter than Robinson, Harrison, and Byrncs.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-04
Danger Clearly Shown

Here is the first demonstration of potential danger in Roosevelt s policy of playing the fright" and the left" against each other. Theoretically. it is sound, and leaves the president on safe high middle ground of leadership.
 The danger, 1t now appears, Is that Roosevelt can fall into a mid- de position, where both sides will belabor him simultaneously.
 To avoid that danger requires great skill--such as Roosevelt has exhibited in the past.
 Most important of all, Roose- velts middle course requires strong popular support--such as he once had and may have again.

Mr.. GREENLEE
IS IN A LATHER
--0vER A BILL s!
He's Shaking With Rage Is
Pleasant Emery: Yes,
That's His Name.

Mention to Mr.. Pleasant Emery
Greenlee a certain bill that is pend
ing in the Indiana state Senate and
Mr.. Greenlee will register various
emotions, running the gamut from
apoplexy to scorn, with a few as
sorted shades of indignation tossed
in for good measure.
That certain bill is the Albright
Webb Swihart bill and it needs no
mastery of the art of deduction to
see that the bill is aimed directly at
administration officials, notably Mr..
Pleasant Emery Greenlee, who had
something to do with running the
last state senatorial convention.
OF course, Mr.. Greenlee, who is
Gov. Paul V. McNutt's patronage
dispenser, will tell you that the will
of the people was expressed when
Sherman Minton was elected United
States Senator, but a great many
people will tell you that Mr. Green
lee gave the will of the people a gen.
tie shove when it appeared the peo-
pies will wasn't being expressed in
just exactly the right direction.
1t Goes Farther, Too
But to get back to Mr.. Greenlee
and the Senate bill which is giving
him such a case of galloping in
dignation.
The bill would prevent any Fed
eral, state, county, township. city,
town or school corporation officer
or employe from being q delegate
to a state convention.
But wait 1t goes farther than
that. AS an additional curb on
what the authors obviously regard
as machine rule of conventions, the
bill prevents relatives up to second
cousins of any officer or employee in
any of the executive or administra-
tive departments of the state gov
eminent from being a delegate.
The general opinion of the bill is
that it's pretty far-reaching. Mr.
