A sturdy physique. ability as a
public speaker and an affable manner
are characteristics most likely to help
Senator Alben w Barkley of Kentucky
In his new role of Senate ma jority
leader.
His robust health will prove an
asset because the leader of the ma
i0ritv must remain almost constantly
in the chamber while the Senate is
in session to guide the legislative pro-
gram He must also be ready at all
times to answer the verbal attacks on
administration policies from across
the political aisle And when he is
not doing either of these things he
will find much of his time devoted to
cloak room conferences, ironing out
differences and striving for agree
ments on controversial issues.

enjoys a game of golf when the days

last November, but he looks younger
snd has smile that reflects a ready
sense of humor.
Moves to New Desk Today.
When the Senate meets today the
new leader moves up to the front-row
desk on the center aisle, formerly oc-
Cupied by his predecessor, the late
Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Sena-
tor MCNary of Oregon, the minority
leader, occupies the corresponding
desk across the aisle This facilitates
the transaction of business, as frequent
conferences on program and procedure
become necessary between the leaders

election. Barkley served 13 years in
the House and has been in the Senate
10 years.
Has Reserve Vocal Powers.
In ordinary debate Barkley speaks
in a moderate tone, but when he
warns up to defense of his party and
its policies he has a reserve volume
of vocal strength that resounds across
the Senate chamber
In addition to his work on national
legislation, Senator Barkley in recent
years has handled legislation of in
terest to Washington as chairman Of
the Senate Library Committee, and
as head of the Joint Committee on
library. The latter committee super
vises the operation of the Botanical
Gardens at the foot of Capitol Hill
The Library Committees also pass on
proposals for the erection Of statues
and memorials in the National Capt.
tai.
Senator Barkley is a Self-made man,
who worked on the family farm in
Graves County, KY, as a boy, and
later helped earn his way through
college. In 1903 he married Miss
Dorothy Brewer of Paducah, KY, and
has son and two daughters.

added one more to long list of polit-
ical victories that began with Bark
ley's election as prosecutor for Nc
Cracken County. KY, in 1905. Four
years later he became county judge
and remained on the bench until his
election to the House in the Sixty
third Congress. He suffered one po-
litical defeat when he entered the
primaries for Governor in 1928, but
he was member Of the House at
the time and it did not break the
continuity of his public service.
He was elected to the Senate in
1926, again in 1882, and comes up
for his third term next year. The

In considering the question, one
should renemI er that before 1888
relief of the unemployed was
largely local and state affair.
When Congress created the FERA
and the CCC, relief rolls began
to grow and while the number
dependent upon Government aid
during the next fiscal year is
much smaller than the peak load,
critics point out that they viii
require a larger sum. The point
is also made that national income
has risen from forty to a pros
pective seventy billion dollars,
that industry is approaching the
1929 level and farm income is
greatly improved. Under such con-
ditions and in view of the number
of aged persons finding measure
of security in old age pension
systems, there is a growing SEN
timent that the time has come for
the Federal Government to reduce
its RELIEF appropriation. Sooner or
later this must be done and every
one conversant with pressure
groups knows that it will have to
be accomplished in the face of
loud cries of woe and lamentation
on the part of those now drawing
benefits.

indications are that the Repu5-
licans are ready to abandon their
silent tactics and that a more &C.
tive OPP osition to the President is
contemplated. Chairman Hamilton
will make four speeches on the
radio, which were postponed two
months ago when the party lead
ers decided to stay in the back
ground and permit the Court fight
to split the Democrats. The stra-
tegists believe that these tactics
have succeeded and that the time

backed Governor Landon and 9TH
ers who have shifted from the
President on the Court Issue.

that the split would be real if, by
policy of silence, they avoided
making it a partisan issue. While
the Democratic senators, at least,
