amendments.
Fear that the drastic provisions

and against progressive-li liberalism
in the Democratic party.
President Roosevelt right now
seems to be more worn out by the
efforts of conservatives in his own
party than in almost any other
test he has had to meet since his
first inaugural.
TESTED BY SOUTH
From the Southern Democrats
in the Senate comes the hardest
opposition to some of the Presi'
dents social legislation. Wage.
and-hour legislation is anathema
to many Of the old-line Southern
Democrats; they care almost moth
ing for the Wagner housing bill,
distinctly a measure for Northern
ana Eastern thickly populated cit.
les. And, Of course, the South re-
sents deeply the anti-lynching bill,
which many observers feel is moth
ing but political measure which
ought not to be placed before the
President for signature.
The South, on which all Demo-
cratic candidates for the presi-
dency have been able to count
with its ia electoral votes, fur
nisheS political leadership
through the Southern habit of
sending men back to Congress
year after year until by the
rule of seniority they become
chairmen of committees. This
gives the South Importance in
policy making and prestige.
LEADERS OUTRAGED
Yet the party under Mr..
Roosevelt is stepping ahead in
liberalism much faster than its
Southern leaders-most Of them,
at any rate. It is taking on the
liberalism of the Northwest and
the La Follettes. It is much
more pro-labor than any Southern
Democrat wants it to be; and
there is little of the Roosevelt
program of social legislation
which doesn't give the South a
stomachaches.
And so Mr.. Roosevelt picks an
outstanding Southern progressive
liberal Democrat and shows the
South just what sort Of men it
should raise up for public office!
A complete anti-Power trust:
withholding company: anti-lobby
Democrat from among the COM
mon people of Alabama.
The Presidents puzzles are not
at all made easier by the fact that
Vice President Garner is a strong
party man and a strong opponent
to many Of the Presidents poll
cies. This opposition does not
take the form of any outward an
tagoniSrn, but it is no secret that
Mr.. Roosevelt is progressive and
Mr.. Garner is not.

Anyone who follows the politi-
cal band wagons knows by this
Black appointment that President
Roosevelt is still thinking in the
same terms which characterized
his public and political activities
when he hunted head first into
the Niagara-Hudson Light and
Power Co. That was in the days
of Mr.. Roosevelt's progress toward
the New York vernorShip.
FIGHT SCARED SOUL
There was a fight so harsh and
bitter than it left an impress on
the Rooseveltian mind and soul.
To him the concentration of po-
litical wickednesS is in the power
holding companies: Mr.. Roosevelt
would rather refer to them as
"the Power trust"
In Hugo Black Mr.. Roosevelt
sees a crusader who rammed his
sword deep into a vital spot in
the Power trust" at a crucial mo-
ment. Hence, on the Supreme
Court bench there goes crusader
for the highland against the
electric light political skulldugger-
les. It was Senator Black who
upset the Power trust lobby by ex-
posing its fake kilograms in its ef-
fort to defeat the holding COM
pany regulatory legislation.
Politically, this appointment
seems to be a part of the fight for

A Democrat-Would the PreSl'
dent have nominated him for the
Supreme Court if he Werent?--
he has the unqualified support Of
the four Democratic members OF
the feminine bloc" in the House,
and the thumbs down" sign from
its one Republican member.
Representative Mary T. Norton
3D., of New Jersey, chairman OF
the House Labor Committee
knows him for his sponsorship OF
the wages and hours bill in the
Senate-the issue on which his
Southern colleagues in the Senate
have broken with him.
EXTREMELY LIBERAL
And she had this to say:
"He is certainly a conScien-
tious worker, and has demon
strated many times that he Is
extremely liberal in deciding
public questions. His leadership
in the fight on the wages and
hours bill indicates he has the
courage of his convictions and
would lead the people of the
country to expect that the rights
of labor would be protected by
his vote in the Supreme Court"
The one dissenting vote came
next-from Representative Edith
Nourse Rogers (R), Of MaSSachu-
sets, who, with quick gesture in
dicating diSapproval, remarked
rather shortly:
II don't think he has had the
experience and training neceS-
sary for the Supreme Court"

FORMAL PLEDGE

sion, was approved by the Senate.
1t was sent to the House for its
concurrence early next week.
Solution of the controversy
over cotton loans cleared the Con.
gressional calendars Of adjourn
ment obstacles, although the Ad
ministration's wage-hour bill ap-
peared doomed in the House. It
was reported failure to pass this
bill would not hold up adjourn
ment, since the Administration
was sorely disappointed with The
bill passed by the Senate; anyway.
The highly controversial sugar
sterilization bill, passed by both
House and Senate, was to be sent
to conference. It probably will
not reach the White House before
the middle of next week, where a
presidential veto is reported await
ing Some Administration leaders,
though, said they believed the
President would sign it.
HOUSE IN RECESS
The House, in recess over the
weekend, will launch the final
deficiency bill on Tuesday. This
always had been the signal for
adjournment, and undoubtedly
will. be followed by the adjourn
ment resolution itself.
The House, however, will face a
stiff calendar next week. On
Monday, it is scheduled to pass
the Administration bill closing
loopholes in the income tax Struc-
ture On Wednesday it will act
on the Administrators low-coSt
housing bill which the Senate al
ready has passed.
The Senate met today to try
TO pass the MrCarran bill giving
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion control over airmail lines.
Stiff opposition from the Post
office Department may block its
passage.
Senate leaders promised quick
action on both the tax loophole
and final deficiency bills.
