XXTASHINGTON, Dec. 30. -
w (NEA)-Don't be surprised
if Congress hires brain trust"
of its own.
1t will be asked soon to create
staff of experts which would adj
wise it on economic and technical
aspects of proposed legislation.
The idea is the outgrowth of
study of proposals for a national
economic council, made by a sub
committee of the Senate Com
merce Committee, composed of
Senators Buckley of Ohio, Costi-
gan of Colorado and La Toilette
OF Wisconsin.
The man who worked out the
plan for the committee is Leon
Henderson, who was drafted from
a group of protesting consumer
representatives by General John
son and made chief of research
and planning at MA and who
lately has been directing the eco
nomic council study.
In the last two or three years
Congress has frequently passed
laws which few Of it's members
understood, and it's usually agreed
that it isn't a good thing, quite
aside from the increasing desire of
Congress, not to be a New Deal
rubber stamp.
Every member must now be his
own economist or hire one if he
needs advice.
The congressional economic
council would study legislative pro-
posals of the Administration as
we'll as the bills offered by mem
bers on behalf of special inter
eSts and groups of constituents,
and report on the need and prob
able effect of such measures with
out regard TO official policy.
1t would use the vast accumu-
lation of economic and statistical
data in the Federal departments,
and might be a great improve
ment over the system of public
hearings on bills-at which pres
sure groups and lobbyists appear
and frequently befuddle congress-
men.
IF you were surprised to hear
Il that John Lord O'Brian. for
mer Republican assistant attorney
general, had been specially en-
gagged to present the governments
IVA argument before the United
States Supreme Court. you would
have been even more surprised if
you could have seen him in action.
1t is the opinion of court at
taches that O'Brian, the Repub-
lican made a more brilliant pres
entation than any other govern
ment attorney has made since
New Deal cases first began to
reach the court. (Such attorneys
include Attorney General Cum
mings, Solicitor General Stanley
Reed, Donald Richberg for NRA,

troll their own waterfronts. Under
unified control of a unified city it
is believed that a still greater
share of the rising trans-Pacific
trade could be drawn to San
Francisco.

City planners and popula-
ton students are all asking,
"Where do we go from
here?" The old competitive
rivalry for trade, industries, and
home jewellers which has contin-
ued for so long among the San
Francisco, Oakland, and Marin
County areas is not likely to be
sidetracked when an era of growth
seems practically certain.
Surveys, charts, and mere opin-
ions are flying about to spur civic
consciousness or allay panic.
Whether San Franciscans will
emigrate to Oakland, or Alameda
County people will flock into San
Francisco or Marin County-no
one is quite sure, but each locality
is making its plans to be the WIN
ner.
The civic developments result
ing from the new bridges will be
as remarkable as the bridges
themselves.
THE San Francisco Bay region
a is strikingly like that of New
York City Like Manhattan, San
Francisco proper is bounded on
three sides by water, the Pacific
Ocean, the Golden Gate, and the
bay.
Oakland, across the bay, is like
Jersey City, with its growing in
duStries, homes, and adjoining
cities of Alameda and Berkeley.
Across the Golden Gate, Marin
County, with its scenic Redwood
Empire, corresponds TO Long
Island.
With San Francisco's populous
Mission district coinciding with
New York's Bronx, the similarity
goes even farther with the PENN

in mind regarding the prospects
for peace or war in Europe is that
Mussolini now knows he will get

quers the whole of Abyssinia
This follows because no other
peace plan even remotely accept

vetoed the Hoare-Laval peace
proposal with such resounding
disapproyal, the League will not
now grant Mussolini even the
compromise plan for an Abyssin-
ian protectorate which was put
forward last summer.
Mussolini is now on the tough
est spot of his entire life. He has
got to surrender or fight it out.
And the chances are that in
fighting it out, almost certainly
he will pull in the rest of Europe.

both Republican and Democratic
ranks.
In fact, to use the word "curios-
ity' is to put it mildly. Old party
leaders have been eaten up with
desire to know what went on dur
ing the following meetings:
A secret three-hour conference
in New York between Mayor La
Guardia, Senator Bob La Toilette
and his brother Phil, Governor of
Wisconsin. When news of the
meeting leaked out ten days later,
all three declined to intimate
what they were discussing.
A secret conference between
Mayor La Guardia and Clifford
Pinchot, Ex-Governor of Pennsyl-
Vania.
A meeting of Wisconsin Progress
sives, Socialists, Farmer -Laborites
and other left wing forces in Mil
waukee, at which a united front
organization was agreed upon.
In addition to these, Democratic
and Republican leaders consider
significant the letter sent by Floyd
Olson, Farmer-Labor Governor of
Minnesota, urging liberal and
left-wing leaders throughout the
country to combine against "re-
action and fascism"
Also they are keeping their eyes
on plans of insurgent chiefs for a
meeting some time in January.
Most of the old party politicos
doubt that these maneuvers are
aimed at a third party in 1886.
They know that Olson, La Toilette
and La Guardia are too Shrewd
to launch such move before the
time is ripe.
Furthermore, most of the left
wingers are for Roosevelt, in the
last analysis. At times they criti-
else him bitterly, claim he is
timid and vacillating. But most of
them believe his defeat would be a
serious blow to liberalism.
Some Of the curious ones think
this may be the clew to the be-
hind-the-scenes activity of the
Progressives. Perhaps they are
preparing to launch a united
front organization next spring to
support Roosevelt in 1896.
