What's What
Behind News

Letter of President Cuts
Ground From Under
Dieterich.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The man who now is supposed to be
President Roosevelt's main conserva-
tive adviser called at the White House
before the Hyde Park trip. He at
tempted to persuade the President
that the electrocution of public util-
ity holding companies was too severe.
He wanted them paroled under Gov
eminent reform school instead.
A tetD minor amendments to
the electrocution, section OF the
Wheeler Rayburn bill toere' dis
cuSSed, but no specific substitute
amendment sDaS agreed on. Hon.
eUer, the adviser rent aiDay NTH
the distinct impression that re-
form school substitute Mould be
acceptable to the President.
That word was passed around in
side. From it grew inspired published
prophecies about the New Deal soft
ening the sentence on the utilities be-
was the hidden basis on which the
fight was made for the Dieterich
amendment in the Senate.
Liberals Get Roosevelt Letter.
The liberal advisers of the Presi-
dent heard nothing about such a
change of heart: at least, not from the
President. In fact. they went to the
extent of getting letter from him
saying emphatically he wanted MOTH
ing more than minor changes in the
electrocution clause of the bill. This
they kept in their pockets until the
final drive began for the Dieterich
amendment in the Senate.
Senator Dieterich arose and an
nounced, just before the close. ex-
citing vote, that he was authorized
to say that the President did not
have in mind the elimination of good
holding companies, only bad ones.

The wheel within all these wheels
seems to be split in the ranks of
New Deal liberal advisers. Apparently
all the former associates of Messrs.
Cohen and Corcoran are not going
along with them intellectually on
this electrocution issue. SO far, an
open break has been avoided and it
is to the interest of both factions to
continue to conceal it, but you never
can tell.
Funds to Last Until Election.
The way the new relief expenditures
are being delayed indicates they will
begin to hit their peak Just about the
time, next Winter, that the presi-
dental campaign of 1886 begins. Also
the delay should permit the funds to
last until after election. At least this
is what Republicans here are afraid
of.
Senator Glass asked all Federal Re-
serve boarders whether they had seen
copy of the new bank bill before it
was presented in the Senate, and all
answered in the negative. The i'm
plication is that the New Dealers did
not consult the board. What seems
to have happened is that the provi-
sions of the bill were fully discussed
with the board, but actual copies of
the bill were not placed before it.

Irresistible Force Wins.

rreSlStlDie fOrce WINS.
This development is only one chap
ter in the most sensational inside tale
of hard legislative fighting that Wash
ington has heard or will Lear for
many a year. Congressional CORR
doris are said to oe strewn with cross
and double-cross postscripts, not
meaning kisses.
So far, one thing has been eStdb-
Hshed.' namely, What happens When
an irresistible lobbying force meets
an inlnlovable lobbying object. The
irresistible force Dins by one Dote.
At least it did it the Senate, tDhere
the liberal lobbyists for the admin
iStrGtion defeated the conservative
utility lobbying agents By that
margin on the Dieterich roll call.
The liberals had q lobbying ad-
vantage because their No. l man,
Ben Cohen, sat on the Senate floor
as a Government expert assisting
Senator Wheeler. That was excusable
because Mr.. Cohen and his associate,
Thomas Corcoran, really wrote the
bill. The public utility people had to
work from the gallery.
Hurja to Rescue.
A few hours before the roll call
both Messrs. Cohen and Corcoran
began to sense that something was
wrong. Some Senators they had
counted as safe" were not behaving
properly. Something had to be done
to get their boys back in line.
Mr.. Roosevelt Uas out of to,Un.

to the Senate seUer1i DeekS ago to
Sdve the bonus ueto in similar cir
cunstdnces. The third strongest
political influence on Senators in
this administration is Emil Hurjd,
Tight-hGnd man to Mr.. Farley.
Now Mr.. Hurja never has been
known as a liberal Nor does he ap-
pear often at the Capitol. He did
this time-on the run. What he
did and how he did it cannot be told
officially. But more than one Senator
will tell you confidentially Mr.. Hurja
changed four votes; that is, he per-
suaded four Democratic Senators not
to vote as they intended to vote. but
to save the electrocution clause. They
did.

the tides that have just described.
By constructing a system of basins
the tide can be made to circulate back
and forth through the turbines be-
tween the open sea and two con-
nected reservoirs. One of these reser-
voirs is kept empty while the other is
being filled. The water in the first
reservoir, which was filled at high
tide, is allowed to flow into the second,
churning the turbines on its way.
Meanwhile the ocean tide recedes to
its low point. and when sufficiently
low the water accumulated in the
lower reservoir may be allowed to
flow back to the sea.
With the coming in of the next
ocean tide the upper reservoir will be
replenished and the process continued.
In this way the turbines may be kept
continually turning.
Next to burning our natural fuel
resources, tidal power is probably the
most feasible method of gaining
energy. But not every seaport will

Next to the Bay of Fundy region,
probably the best adapted location
for tidal power is the Severn Estuary,
in England.
In 1925 distinguished committee,
duly appointed, Investigated the pos

In some future day, should the cost

resources are depleted, then one may
