Nearly. everybody in Washington was whispering that the measure was a ''bad bill.T but greedy con- gressmen messed up the attack when they sought to make a pork barrel of 1t.

co any ndLlOnal nero or our tune.
 That doesn't mean that Ickes is an especially lovable character. And heaven knows he is far from the quintessence of tact. But the assorted menagerie of his enemies is as unsavory q lot in'sthe aggre- gate as ever was gathered under one tent.
 Not that you could get them all under one tent, for most of them prefer to snipe from behind the thick bushes.
 Roosevelt knows all that. Neither his own temperament nor his ad- ministration's reputation for integ- rity permits him to surrender 10 the anti-Ickes forces-which also contain so many enemies of the New Deal.
 It isn't to be supposed that all those who have sharpened their daggers for Ickes are scoundrels. of course. Some are simply keeping bad company.

And He's .Discourteousn'

The semi official version of com plaints in the House against lckes, given by House leaders who prom ised the complainants that Roose- welt rather than sIclses would ad- minister the $4,000,000,000, was that it was based on the secre- tary's alleged "discourtesy" to congressmen.
 No one explained exactly what was meant by that. Everybody knows Ickes has sometimes been hard-boiled, even with congress- men.
 If you knew some of the con-, gressmen, you'd probably guess why. But it's admitted that Ickes doesn't know how to say "No!" and make lem like 1t.
 That's an important part of the bureaucratic technique in which he is sadly deficient. He could take many tips from Roosevelt, who can even say ''no'' and make his visi- tors think he is saying "yes." Copyright, 1885, NEA Service, inc.

Ickes Carries Sting

Ickes knows how: to hit back. While the sniping was hottest, he moved to take the Elk Hills oil re- serve away from Standard Oil and other interests on the ground that. it was government property.
 He followed that up by pushing for a grand jury investigation of alleged graft in a Texas PWA proi- ect which will involve certain DO litical figures.
 The unspoken threat is that Ickes may vet reveal much more which he knows about politicians ard their PWA activities.
