She said Parrot, Jack Morrison
and Max Berensweig, whom she
identified as a bail bond broker,
controlled liquor administration
affairs at that time. Berensweig,
she charged, repeatedly inspected
the office files although the pub
lie was denied this privilege.
When she brought to Miss
Shontz' attention TO alleged ex-
pense account irregularities, in
cluding an investigators item of
Sl92 lost at gambling at an eX-
elusive Palm Springs resort, Miss
Toretsky said Miss Shontz re-
piled:
Il don't believe you. 1 have all
the confidence in the world in
Mr.. Massey"
Shortly thereafter, the witness
said. she was transferred by Mas
sey to Santa Barbara. Her pro-
test to Miss Shontz was met, she
related, with the reply:
"The heat has been put on me
to keep you in Los Angeles by
the newspaper boys, among other
persons. 1 suppose you will go to
the newspapers with this story.
Miss Shontz promised to keep
her in Los Angeles but resigned
because it would be an insult
to Captain Massey" she testified.
The witness charged Miss Shont2

Meantime, she said, expense ac-
counts were being juggled so that
$l92 item turned in by investigator
Arthur Roy fer gambling losses was
changed to other items acceptable

The witness charged that Miss

This is strangely like what they said
when the reaction to the N. r. A.
decision was less enthusiastic than it
could have been. The inner feeling
then was that you would have to wait
until the court threw out some highly
popular legislation like A. A. A. be-
fore any movement to liberalize the
Constitution could be organized.
Now they say it is difficult to popu-
larize economic issues. The people
could understand prohibition fully.
1t meant their right to drink. The
N. r. A. and A. A. A. are farther away
from the everyday life of the average
citizen.
Vins0n Bill Is Lulu"
The reason the House is so enthusi-
astic about the Vinson bonus bill is
that it appropriates upward Of
81 .000, 100000 without a thought of
where to get it. That is what Con-
gressmen call "a lulu" The term de-
notes the ultimate of legislative bliss.
1t means the Congressman will get the
approval of veterans organizations for
spending the money without any
blame from the taxpayers for raising
taxes
Most woebegone man in Washington
now is Treasury Secretary Morgen-
thau. The bonus bill calls for S2,282,-
350,000 in cash, if you take the honest
estimate of the House Ways and
Means Committee. The A. A. A. de-
cision left the Treasury owing process
ing taxpayers $l,089, 100000. And
Democratic congressional leaders
agreed the other day to support the
tenant farm bill, which will cost about
a billion more.
These three items are outside
the budget. They amount to ttDo-
TIL ds as much as Mr.. Roosevelt
proposed to spend for the entire
Nep Deal merit year. Also they
are nearly fUe times as much as
the proposed record-breaking er-
pendttures for national defense.
An outstanding New Deal judicial
authority in Congress is Chairman
Ashurst of the Judiciary Committee.
He made no statement publicly. bu'
his friends learned that, in his opinion.
nearly every Democratic constitutional
authority in Congress privately sus-
pected the A. A. A. was unconstitu-
tional when it was enacted. 1t is not
a very deep secret that Chairman
Summers of the House committee holds
similar views.
This would seem to dispose Of cur
rent stories that the court decision
was political.

Twenty members IF the Patman

Finally, two members of Congress
flared. Both Kvale of Minnesota and

not be addressed as messenger boys.
In Quandary Over Substitute.
Those close to Messrs. Roosevelt and
Wallace know that neither likes the
equalization fee or the export bounty.
Both proposed substitutes for the A.
A. A. are contrary to the New Deal
concept Of what foreign trade policy
should be.
Secretary Wallace has been working
for months privately on State allot-
ment plan which would get around
the court decision.
The trouble Is that ore rebellious
State might prevent the program from
being effective. Take tobacco. A COM
pact among tobacco-producing States
could be made. Federal funds could
be offered as under the social security
program and dispensed by States for
crop curtailment. But Gov Talmadge
would never let Georgia join it, and
thus Georgia production would under
sell the others.

INSIDE the Wnlte House tnere
seems to be more than a little
( personal disappointment at the
L first popular reaction to the death
of the farm program. Stronger mourn
ing had been expected.
You could see the feeling in various
little ways. For one thing, the smiles
of the presidential retinue faded grad
ually after those first post-A. A. A.
pictures were taken. Tempers were less
merry thereafter. Also the executive
Offices notably declined to give out
kilograms and letters received by the
President, following the decision.
The reason there was not more
A. A. A. talk from Congress after
the decision 1pas because the lead
ers secretly clamped the lid on
there also. The Senate tDas pur-
posely adjourned for tho days.
House leaders declined backstdge
to afford opportunity for debate.
1t ,Uas not hard to do. Congress-
men Dere eager to talk. but not
many wanted to talk out loud.
President Roosevelt's friends seemed
to think that the country did not fully
understand at once the implication Of
the Supreme Court decision. They
thought it might take months for the
effect to sink in.
