WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

tee, amid such blistering attacks as 1t
suffered at the hands Of Clarence
Darrow, vet it Is foregone conclusion
that the recovery law will be renewed
in such form as to assure the con-
tinuance of all its fundamental pro-
visions, including maximum hours,
minimum wages, child labor and fair
trade practices. The Blue Eagle after
June Is is sure to be stripped of lot
of its original tail feathers, but even
with attenuated plumage, it will re-
main a controlling factor in American
industry. Members of Congress who
would like to see N. R. A. put out Of
business altogether are not going to
realize that destructive ambition. A
new lease Of life for the organization
is in sight.
New Dealers are not unduly agitated
over the Hopkins-Davey relief 1racas
in Ohio. In some quarters there even
seems an inclination to make light Of
the whole business. One theory is
that among other reasons which i'm
PEELED Washington to clear for action
against Gov. Davey may have been
the determination to rob the political
opposition well in advance of the
argument that the new $4,SS0, ,00O, 900
work relief fund is going to be ex-
plotted for party advantage in 1886.
AS P. w. A. dollars are supposed to
have had some influence on the 1894
congressional elections, Republicans
have been darkly limiting that work
relief money would blossom out a year
hence in the form Of a potent argu-
ment for keeping the Democrats in
power.
Senator Huey Longs dulcet tones
will next be heard on the radio when
he broadcaStS over the Columbia net
work Sunday, March 81, from IL to
11:30 pm, from Washington He
has chosen as his subject "The Cur
rent Legislative Situation in the Sen
ate" Doubtless the KingfiSh will find
that topic flexible enough to permit
discussion of favorite themes, like
Gen. johnson and the "share-the-
wealth" program. At exactly the
same hour, a week later, Sunday,
April Z, Representative P. L. CASA
way. Democrat, of Oklahoma will be
on the air. He plans to pay his re-
SpectS In bronco-busting fashion to
both Senator Long and Father Cough
lin. Mr.. GaSsaway Is not scheduled
to tackle Gen. johnson, but is re-
ported ready to take him on, too, If
necessary.
After several years of inactivity,
there has just been revived the In
dian Buffalo Hunt Monument Com
mittee." for the purpose of interesting
Congress, sculptors, artists and lovers
OF patriotic art in preserving at
Washington In bronze and in an ap-
propriate setting the famous sculpture
by the late Henry K. Bush Brown.
An appropriate bill sponsored by Rep
reSentative Keller, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, chairman of the House Commit
tee on the Library, was favorably re-
ported by the committee on March l,
the day the sculptor passed away. The
project to erect the Indian Buffalo
Hunt" statue has been pending for
several years. The late Speaker
Rainey was one of its enthusiastic
supporters. Thousands of Americans
saw the original cast on exhibition
in Union Station at Washington.
There is at present no monument to
the American Indian in the National
Capital and members Of the COM
mittee now advocating the picturesque
ush-Brown conception are hopeful
that Congress will at last authorize
erection of the statue.
