Although he will have a greater
party majority than ever before,
President Roosevelt faces more
trouble with the Congress which
convenes Tuesday than he has yet
encountered in his Administration
With the House Democrats lin
ing up for a caucus Monday after
noon the bitter party fight
over House leadership will reach
an acrimonious climax which will
leave scars not likely to be healed

Capt. John ". Myers
Leaves for New Home

Capt. John w. Myers, of Nc. 27
Engine Company, District Fire
Department, said goodby to his
friends at the department last
night, and next week will start
for Southport, N. c., where he will
make his home.
He has been named chief of the
fire department there. He is mov-
ing from the District to provide a

scores of new members of the
House and Senate who are looking
to Federal jobs to give them 3
chance to come back after their
first two years of service.
President Roosevelt can't go on
creating jobs at the rate he did
during his first Administration.
In fact, there may be slight cur
tailment of non-CiVil Service jobs
during the next few years.
How. then, are the new Repre-
sentatives and Senators going to
be taken care of?
If anybody is to be fired from
the non-Civil Service agencies Of
the Government it will almost GER
tainly have to be a Democrat be-
cause those jobs now are all filled
with partisans And what good
would it do the party to throw
out Democrat in order to put an
other one in?
Holt is Watched
Along this line there is presented
another Democratic problem.
How much harm can Senator
Rush D. Holt, of West Virginia,
do to the Administration legisla-
tive program as an answer to the
party'S taking away from him his
minor patronage appointments at
the Capitol as retaliation for his
activities in the last campaign?
OF course, he is only one man.
but he is in the Senate where un.
limited debate reigns And Sena-
tor Holt might decide to debats
almost everything without limit.
These are only few of the
thorns which have already been
Sprinkled along what might seem
to be a legislative path of roses.
and they have Democratic party
leaders both within and without
Congress considerably worried.

their friend.
Parents chokingly recalled that
Patty had never been seen on
the streets without a mob of will
ing youngsters of the neighbor-
hood at his heels. The children
said that the birds in the park
would perch on his shoulders and
eat from his hand.
Was Kindly Soul
The only funds the old man OBJ
tained we're in compens Ion, for
trifling chores he would perform
for the residents of the COM
munity. These funds he invested
in ice-cream cones and candy for
the children and grain and bread
for the birds.
He was fed each day at the
home of Mrs. w. R. Hodgson at
1916 Kalorama Rd. and was
clothes by another family of the
neighborhood. The entire COM

of the kindly soul, will provide the
funeral
A local funeral parlor has taken
charge of the funeral and he will
be buried in the family plot Of the
