Trade Board Powers
The opinion continues in part:
THE trade board, the majority of

True it is that an appeal lies to the

I prise 70 Administration leaders, and

I listed Maryland as safely IN the
I bag" II is now q matter OF record
( that Is per cent Of the Maryland
Democracy Is not satisfied with the
way things are being run by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the New Deal
This protest Is the more significant
in face of the fact that Senator Ty-
dings, long a Democratic critic Of
the President, recently switched and
announced his support Of the Ad-
ministratiOn whose acts he has been
condemning for the past two years.
Even the Tydings influence-and It
is great in Maryland--was not
strong enough to stem the tide OF
protest.
Maryland is a state Of mixed in
dustries; trade and manufacture
dominate its principal city; Il agri-
culture Is expansive; western Mary
land is a great minging cinter; the
state has a prOpOrtionately heavy
labor population. The result of the
primary is doubly interesting be-
cause of the many interests repre-
sented.
CIamping Down The Lid
Efforts on the part of Republicans
in Congress for several weeks past
to find out what is being done with
Federal funds by the various emer-
gency agencies are continuing to
run up against a Democratic deter
minatiOn to withhold such infOrma-
tion.
An instance was the introduction |
of a resolution calling for an inves-
tigation Of WPA. The Democrats, Of
course, didn't want a scandal dis
closed officially, and didn't like the
idea of refusing an investigation. So
the members of the House Commit
tee to which the resolution had been
referred called Administrator Hop
kins before it and asked him If there
was any scandal connected with his
agency. He answered mo" The
was then dismissed.
Senator Barbour and other Sena-
tors have made renewed-and un-
5uccessful-demands for an investi-
CATION or a factual accounting of the
way in which Resettlement Admins
ration funds have been expended.
The New Jersey Senator charged
hat the administrative pay roll of
he Resettlement Offices was larger
han the number of persons accom-
lOdated in its housing developments
md that some of the projects were
