What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Steam of Enthusiasm Is
at New Low in New
Deal Boiler.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The steam of enthusiasm seems to
be running bit lower than the coun-
try realizes inside the New Deal boiler.
The old pressure zeal for high-gauge
action Is not what it once was. Any
one who has called on any dozen of
the stokers in the last few days can
see the situation.
IL is not entirely the Supreme
Court decision Which is causing
the fires to run lou, although that
undoubtedly played q part. Nor
is it the enthusiastic activity OF
the Republican bucket brigade, al
though that also has had a damp
oning influence.
To get the right slant on what Is
happening. you have to go back bit.
President Roosevelt started reforming
his New Deal from within about six
months ago. He moderated N. r. A.,
got johnson out; reformed the A. A. A.
got Tugwell out; altered policies and
personnel gradually and mildly, in
preparation for a New Deal.
Out of His Hands Now.
Now. suddenly, a rush of economic
as well as legal, political and per-
sonal developments appears to have
taken his reformation entirely out Of
his hands.
Evening star., 1935-06-13

when I asked them about present
policies they generally expressed the
opinion that these would not do much
good. And when 1 found some par
ticular policy for which they had any
hope they said its value would be
only temporary"
All these things may represent
only a passing phase. Enthusiasm
and zeal are never stationary. But
it surely indicates Mr. Roosevelt has
more problems on his hands than
those Which are eUfdent on the
surface. There wal be nc 0pp0r.
tunitp for q cruise this Summer,
if the Mem Deal is to be made the
active, living, breathing force it
once WdS.
The best national Democratic au-
thorities are now saying that Gov.
Gen. Frank Murphy will return from
the Philippines and run for Governor
of Michigan next year. Why he
would do it, no one knows. He has
probably the best job in Government.
II pays $4,000 year and carries two
castles and two yachts.
incidentally, the rumors that At
torney General Cummings might take
the post are unfounded. He won't.
Commerce Secretary Roper is sup
posed to have picked a new Assistant
Secretary already, although there is
no vacancy. The new one is sup
posed to be j. Monroe johnson of
North Carolina, prominent Legion
naire. The fact is that, at the time
the choice was made a few days ago,
Roper hoped to get rid Of one Of his
Assistant Secretaries, but did not know
how.

A|RMA|L RATES
SCORED BY BLACK
Senator for Legislation, if
Necessary, to Force
Reduction.
RH tha Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Black. Democrat. OF Ala
bama, chairman of the Senate A1rman
Committee, said today he would favor
legislation forcing Pan-American Air
ways to take a Is per cent reduction
in foreign mail rates IL the concern
refused to accept post office recon-
mendation for such cut.
He made this comment on a report
of Postmaster General Farley to Pres
ident Roosevelt on the departments
inquiry into foreign airmail contracts.
The report was transmitted to the
Senate yesterday.
1t recommended rs per cent re-
duction in rates the Government pays
for mail carrying and q rerouting OF
schedules. This, it said. would save
the Government $2,084,669 annually.
1t advised against cancellation of the
contracts, although it said all Of them
were subject to cancellation because
they we're awarded as a result Of ne
gotiation and not by competitive bid
ding, as provided by law"
With Tive Companies.
All seven foreign airmaiI contracts
are held by the Pan-American Air
ways and its associate, the Pan -Ameri-
can-Grace Airways. Inc. Six Of the
routes run from the South to Latin
American countries, and the seventh,
from Bangor, Me-, to Halifax, Nova
Scotia. The latter route has not been
operated since September, 1891.
The department said that while
"favoritism" was shown in the award
of the contracts by former Repub-
ican officials, their cancellation would
not be In the public interest "as such
action would probably disrupt Ameri-
can air service to the Latin American
countries and might result in great
harm to our trade relations with these
countries"
Black termed the departments re-
port conclusive and unanswerable.
1T shows" he said, that the Gov
ernment has been paying out entirely
too much money and that the rates
for carrying foreign airmail should
be reduced. If they are not reduced
and accepted by the companies, I'd
favor legislation to force q reduc-
ton"
Recovery Steps Favored.
The Farley report also recommended
that action be taken to recover any
overpayments or unauthorized pay
ments that may have been made" and
that the contracts be amended to au-
thorize the department to examine
the books Of the companies and re-
view the rates at least once a year.
w. Irving Glover, who, rs Assistant
Postmaster General in charge Of air.
mail was President Hoover's aide in
letting contracts to which Postmaster
General Farley objected, said he had
no reply, except that they were legal
and should not be criticized.
