This would have saved the inside
situation, except for one thing. Mr..
Ickes has one relief plan. Mr.. Hopkins
has an entirely different one. While
Mr.. Ickes has not been seen much
around the White House lately, Mr..
Hopkins was significantly invited to
accompany the President on the train
as far as Jacksonville.
That is the Udy it goes The
uncertainty OF business, il any, is
insignificant compared ,pith un-
certainty among White House tau-
oriteS.
One day you are sitting happily
on the presidential knee. Nert day
you may be on the floor, Donder-
ing how you got there.
Consequently the Florida dispatches
conveyed hint that the Hopkins plan
had the edge over the Ickes plan.
Furthermore, certain Congressman
started grumbling that if this plan
was all fixed they should find out
what it was before they passed the
relief bill authorizing Mr.. Roosevelt
to carry it out.
The result was that a second pla-
eating announcement was made from
the White House. 1t said no plan
would be decided on until Mr.. Roose-
velt returns.
Too Much Talking.
This may sound like very muddled
situation, but 1t is not. The only
part muddled was the Jacksonville
end of the publicity. Some one did
too much talking, too soon.
Unless Mr.. Ickes succeeds in forcing
q revision of the plan, it is q certainty
that it will work out something like
this:
MIR. Roosevelt will run it. Mr.
Hopkins will have the biggest job in
it, the job of creating immediate work
relief. Admiral Peoples will run the
Federal building program. Prof. Tug
well will run the rural rehabilita-
ton end This will leave Mr.. Ickes
the tail end, the remnants of the
P. w. A. (slums clearance and per-
haps a few other odds and ends).
This does not imply any lack of
confidence in Mr.. Ickes on the part
of the White House or any one else.
1t is simple truth that he mas been
handling more than any one man
could. Furthermore, certain Senators
say they have received a promise from
the White House that Mr.. Ickes would
not control the new set-up. Congress
always gets its man.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Ickes Fears Slight as
Hopkins Leads Relief
Job Parade.
BY PAUL MALLON.


- ECRETARY ICKES got quite
- shock when he saw the press
dispatches from Florida q few
~ days ago. These dispatches,
written by newsmen accom-
panying President Roosevelt, an
nounced that Harry Hopkins was to be
the jumbo-c colossus of the new relief
program.
Now, Mr.. Ickes knew. which the av-
erage news reader may not, that
Presidential newsmen do not make
such things up out Of their heads.
Only two persons could have inspired
that story. Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Hop
kins.
You can imagine hoU that made
Mr.. Ickes feel. Here he has been
the Jumbo colossus of the p. w. A.
for many months, and has aspird-
tions To add insult to injury, the
dispatches mentioned that Per
hdpS, Mr.. Ickes, among others"
Mould be permitted to help Mr..
Hopkins.
Mr.. Ickes put on his hat and coat
and went to the White House.
There, standing guard during the
Presidents absence, was Stephen Early
who is a diplomat as well as a secre
tary. Mr. Early Is supposed to have
worked on Mr.. Ickes' brow, unruffiing
it. At least he gave out an official
announcement that Mr.. Roosevelt
himself would run the new relief pro-
gram. There would be no Jumbo
colossus.

NEW DEAL POWER
REPORT IS READY
Survey Charting Future
Course to Be Made Public
Next Week.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A document New Dealers cell a
"chart for the future" of electric pow
er in the United States is expected to
be made public early next week.
Coming at time when power and
utilities are the subjects of hot contro-
versies in the Capital. the report will
be the first draft of the national
power survey" Vice Chairman Basil
Manly of the Federal Power Commits
sion, who directed the survey ordered
by the President, said it will serve as
chart for the future"
Manly said the survey shows certain
districts In the United States now lack
means for production of power needed
for normal industrial activity and the
administration program Of rural elec-
trification.
SI00, 100000 in Relief Bill.
President Roosevelt in his order for
the survey August 19, 1888, asked the
engineers to formulate q program OF
public works" Chairman F. r. Nc
Ninch of the Power Commission this
week called attention to S100 900 900
Of the work relief bill allotted to rural
electrification and said State and
municipal as well as private utilities
can expand this sum several times.
Commissioner Manly said the sur
vey is the first national picture ever
made of the physical set-up Of the
power industry. 1t includes all ex-
isting utility plants, their average pro-
duction and maximum generation ca
pacity and survey of undeveloped
water power sites.
40 Districts Surveyed.
Electrical engineers divided the
the country into natural power pro-
duction districts after the survey.
They explained when generated power
Is put on transmission lines. energy
losses increase with distances. Thus
an excess Of power in New England
is of no benefit to the Middle West
because distribution costs soon sur
pass generating expense.
Manly said these districts are based
upon industrial areas and existing
transmission lines" The boundaries
do not coincide with State lines, al
though there are more than 40 dis
trictS.
Municipal and private utilities,
Manly said, co-operated in the sur
vey. on which rs engineers and so
data experts have been busy for
months.

DAWES RECOVERY
FORMULA SCORED
Thomas of Utah Terms His
Expression on Slump
4 Break FaIIacious.

By the Associated Press.
The depression-recovery formula
of Charles G. Dawes was criticized
last night by Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Utah as "a new and at
tractive way of saying, Let nature
take its course, time solves all
things"
In a prepared statement, Thomas
asserted that too much repetition of
thu couplet Dawes plan tinkling like
music in the former Vice President's S
ears has caused him to think he has
q key to the solution of world ills"
sHe accepts not only the very
ancient Chinese theory that all
phenomena move in scycles," added
the Senator, former political
ssctence professor, ''but also the con-
clusions based on nature and human
nature by Aristotle. who even went
sd far as to justify slavery on the
basis that certain human beings are
slaves by nature"
( Reasoning Fallacious."
Thomas said that even though
Dawes prediction that the back OF
the depression was broken in July
Is, true, "it is based on fallacious
reasoning"
I'While it is true that in the de-
pfessions of 1873. 1898 and 1929 the
financial disasters can be traced to
the loss Of confidence and the over
coming of those disasters can be
traced to restoration of confidence,
vet there are many factors incident
to all three of the depressions more
than mere loss and regained confl-
dence," Thomas said.
THE Utah Senator said Dawes as
stfmed there is such thing as mass
confidence and mass despair, adding
THAT Is fallacious. Mass conf
dsnce and mass despair just do not
exist. Real leaders are required
leaders who can and who do plan.
The mass has never planned any
thing. When the depression is
fhally overcome, it will be seen that
there was no single responsible
factor, but the greatest contribution
Wall have been made by the finding
Of good plans and then working
those plans.
5-Year Tradition Hit.
a"The improved way of doing
things will result in reforms more
dep seated than merely return to
the ante-depression status quo. De-
pressions may come as result OF
universal slovenliness, but they never
will be overcome merely by letting
nature take its course.
s"Any suggestion that a modern
depression must run full five years
because that was the case in 1873
shd 1893 is based on accident rather
than upon science. Fortunately, we
are not merely completing another
economic cycle The five-year
period may be an attractive deduc-
4on, but just waiting for five years
Will not overcome anything"

The statement emphasized that the

"The only funds the commission has

There Is no delay on the part of the

for it Is the concensus of engineering
opinion that this character of work

ga careful examination of the f1s-
cal history of the District will show
that although earnest efforts have
been made toward economy in the

The only sharp recession in operating

2 Better Bridges Needed.
s"An IS per cent growth in the pop
uaation of suburban areas in nearby
Maryland and Virginia has created a
pressing demand for new and better
bridges. 1t is proposed to prepare
preliminary plans for the Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Bridge and the Chain
Bridge crossing the Potomac River in
the northwest corner of the District
will be replaced in the immediate fu-
ture. The tremendous flow of vehicles
from these nearby sections has re-
quired the widening and improvement
0 numerous boulevard highways and
has occasioned traffic problem which
demands ever-increasing appropria-
lions for traffic control devices and for
the administration of the Traffic De-
partment.
f"All Uniformed members of Con-
eress recognize this demand for cap
ftal expenditure and are familiar with
the fact that the national character
Of the City of Washington makes it
Imperative to plan and build ON a
scale which recognizes the probabil-
tty Of even greater development in the
future. Although I have constantly
advocated and supported the construc-
ton of new buildings for educational
and other purposes, I cannot avoid
consideration of the effect on taxes of
q construction program not carefully
Manned and duly considered. 1t is
important that the structures for
which there is immediate and press
Ing need should be erected first, and
that the remaining requirements be
80 planned as to fall within the abil-
1ty Of the District to pay"
The Senator summarized also the
three social security laws Congress re-
9ntly enacted for the District.

Now here's an amazing fact! For
many years, more than 90, 900 doctors
have used or recommended Pluto
Water. For they know, from per-

of all kinds. That's why you also can
always depend on this famous laxative.
So, the next time you are consti-
pated, do as doctors do. Follow the
gentle water way" to relief. Take the
tasteless, -habit-forming dose
1!5 Pluto with AS glass hot water. In
one hour or less you'll get relief. And
what a remarkable difference it makes!
Remember, too, Pluto Water is sim
