Many Helped Write It

Corcoran and Cohen have had a very large hand in certain New Deal legislation, notably the securi- ties, stock market and holding com- pany legislation. They had nothing to do with the drafting of the su- preme court bil Tor the preparation of Roosevelt's message to congress accompanying it.
 Critics of the new wage-hOur
 bill call it the CorcOran- Cohen
 bill because among those who
 helped prepare it were COrcoran, Cohen, John Winant, Jackson, Hugo Black, the late Bill COnnery.
 Frances Perkins, Sidney Hillman, John Lewis, Bill Green, Ernest Draper, the congressional leader ship and most other interested parties, with the exception of the National Association of Manufac-
 turers, Gen. Hugh Johnson and Don Richberg.
 Cohen wrote most of the legal phraseology along the lines of the New York Minimum Wage act which he himself drafted-and the rest of those mentioned decided what the bills provisions should be. Insofar as Corcoran's operations on Capitol Hill go, everyone who has known of his dartings here and there knows his contacts have been only with those members sympa- thetic to the Roosevelt program.

They're the administrators new whipping boys" The rap comes from those who, for various reasons, prefer not to attack the President directly, from those who believe President Roosevelt would be handi- capped if Corcoran and Cohen left town, from those bitterly jealous be- cause they are no longer near the throne or never were, and from those who believe the Corcoran- Cohen myth because of its reit- eration.
 One idea behind the Jefferson Island party was that few senators and congressman who have been protesting they were damned tired of Corcoran and Cohen" could meet the President face to face, get their orders direct and understand that the President knows his own mind.

Jackson Makes It Trio

ASSlSLanC ALCOTley GClCldl 1NODCA H. Jackson, another relatively young man, has joined up with the Cor coran- Cohen duet, to make it prac' tically a trio. Jackson is acknoWl edged to be the administrations stal trial lawer and legal orator.
 Cohen is known as its most skillful legal draftsman. Cor
 coran is brilliant, all-around handy man who keeps the troops popped up, writes speeches, serves as White House liaisOn man with mpathetic members of congress, does an amazing number of odd and frequently impOrtant-jobs for Roosevelt and probably does as
 valuable behind the scenes job as anyone in -ordinating the eff
 forts of the many individualists and prima d0nnas of verying be- liefs who populate the upper ranks of the New Deal. He is an
 unofficial presidential secretary and, like Cohen, custOmarily be- gins his working day at 9 a. m. anu COHCluUCS At dAVuAU Ahuh6AS or thereafter.
 Roosevelt obviously has gone consistently toward the left" in the last year, but nearly everyone on the inside here attributes this mostly to his reactions to vitriolic attacks from the exreme right and his belief that he knows what a large majority of the voters re- ally want. Corcoran, Cohen and Jackson occupy their present po- sitions in his entourage because, after a long shakedown process, they turned out to be the most. effective and efficient persons whom Roose- welt had used in their respective fields,

Washington, June 25.--One re- suit of the Jefferson Island pow-wow between the president and demo- cratic members of congress is likely to be an explosion of the Corcoran- Cohen myth.
 The myth is chanted along two themes:
 That Roosevelt is 8 nice, easy-going, well-meaning gent, but is completely bamboozled and pushed around by Tom Corcoran and Ben Cohen, who tell him what he ought to do and what congress ought to do. And that Tom and Ben are radicals of a dangerous type.
 2.-That Corcoran and Cohen write all the New Deal legislation, sell it to Roosevelt and then go high-pressuring around Capitol Hill to get it passed.
 All of which is just as silly as it sounds. It ought to be fairly plain to everyone, no matter how thorough is ones dislike of the president and his policies, that he is nobody's fool. Corcoran and Cohen take their orders from Roosevelt and carry them out with large measures of ability and devotion.
