Converts Carter Glass

Ed Taylor of Colorado. House Democratic whip, had done some quiet and pointed missionary work. He happens to be a close friend of the secretary's.
 The Iokes appearance before tho Carter Glass Senate subcommittee on the works bill was nothing short of a lovefest. according to leaks from the secret hearing.
 Glass, who hates heavy federal spending and is described by Rosse- welt as an "unreconstructed rebel" chuckled heartily as Ickes told how the credit of the senator's home town of Lynchburg. Va, had been so much better than 1t supposed that PWA had made a $13,000 profit in selling the bonds the city presented an a PWA loan for . water system.
 The senator ended up by saying he'd like an amendment putting Ickes in full charge of the four billions.

A simple change in senate rules would permit the invitation of high officials to the chamber for questioning. And 1t would be difficult for an invited official to refuse with dignity.
 The chief reason for hesitation in proposing such a rule has been the certainty that administration forces would combine to bury the resolution in committee. But you're likely to hear from it.

Telegraph company officials place the number of World Court telegrams received by senators after Father Coughlin's radio speech at about GO,000.
 That doesn't come up to the wild tales you've heard of hundreds or thousands, but it's more telegrams than ever landed here before at one time and enough to scare q senate - especially since most of the messages were signed by from two to a dozen names.
 Senator Wagner of New Y York seems to hold the record, with ape proximately 10000 telegrams re- ceived. But he stuck by the admin" istration and voted against the court.
 World Court letters at least equaled the telegrams in number.

Swope Gets His Hand In

Progressives in congress fp TO- fess to sec the hand of Gerard Swope, General Electric magnate. behind the administrators social insurance measures = which they regard as conservative.
 Although they consider Swope a relatively enlightened industrialist, his influence in forming the legis- lation is supposed to have e n greater than they think any indus- trialist should have been allowed to exert. Swope was on the presi- dential security committee.
 Nevertheless. insiders know that the most important influence be- hind the Wagner-Lewis unemploy- mcnt insurance bill--whose princi- ples are preserved in the adminis- tration proposal to foster state sys- tems--was that of Justice Louis DembitZ Brandeis.
 The justice, whose disciples here are legion. prefers small units to big units and wanted to be sure the measure would be constitutional.

Ickes' Stock Rises

Unmistakable signs come from Capitol Hill that the stock of Sec retary Ickes, who took such a wicked lambasting from members who sought to keep him from ad- ministering the work relief pro- gram, is booming again.
 After Speaker Byrns had assured congressmen that Ickes wouldn't boss the entire program, word went qquiqqetqly around that Ickes still rated high at the White House and would certainly have q sayso about portion of the funds.
 Members were also reminded that Ickes was still able to rescind many existing public works allcoations and to expose politicians who hadn't kept their noses shiny clean in the past scramble for funds.
 Thus no one was surprised when Cox of Georgia, who had said on the floor that 1ckes had so exten- sively insulted members that he was 'the most thoroughly hated man connected with the govern ment at the present time." back racked abjectly by announcing to the House that his remarks had been both unkidn and mistaken.
 Cox withdrew the remarks, and so did Blanton of Texas. who had said Ickes had filled all uor states and districts with his Republican incompetents. who are drawing higher salaries than any of them earn"
