BUSINESS MUST SAVE COUNTRY
NEW DEAL BLOCKS RESCUE

A host of the cOuntry'S citizens are hop
ing. as Frank Kent says he is hoping, that
the Congress of the United States will re-
sumo its constitutional position and func-
tons at the special session and also IN next
years regular session.
Final responsibility for what has hap
pened in the past five years in the national
government and for the condition in which
the country is found today must rest, as
matter of fact, upon Congress. Its abdica-
ton of its constitutional functions and
blindly foolish submission to every sugges-
ton. within and order of the President
caused the alleged new deal to be lnthct-
ed on the country. If Congress had stood
firm for its lawful rights as the legislative
department of the government and dehed
the chief executives attempts to make
himself the supreme authority of the ma
ton, one of two things would have hap
pened, Congress would have functioned
and saved the country from much Of the
destructive program of the new dealers,
or there would have ensued an attempt
by the President to force his will on the
country.
The President, of course, cannot escape
responsibility for the role he has played
in the distressing drama of the past five
years; and this newspapers conviction Is
that the country will hold him to account
ability and effect a settlement in time to
come with Franklin Roosevelt and those
who share responsibility with him for the
record made by the new deal administra-
ton.
We quote two paragraphs from Frank
Kent's summary of the Washington situa-
ton:
1.-THE most striking thing about this special ses-
sion of congress is the change in the atmosphere.
How long it will last, no one can tell, but certainly
it is the first since Mr. Roosevelt became president
in which house and senate leaders taking their cue
from him, have not assumed the attitude that bust
ness as a whole needed rigid regulation that sue
cessful business men systematically exploited the
poor underpaid labor, sweated little children, gen.
orally dsregarded human rights and deserved,
therefore, to be kicked around.
"That was the White House thesis upon which
Mr.. Roosevelt has harped steadily. The incubation
of that idea has been the principal job of his
propaganda agencies and there have been few pres
dential public utterances in which he has not fos
tered it. II was the reason for the pillorying of
business men before congressional committees for
the dramatic staging of the 'tax-dodgers drive for
the various punitive measures conceived by the
Corcoran- Cohen brain trust and sponsored by Mr..
Roosevelt. An integral part of the old Huey Long
soak-the-rch political strategy, il has been at tn

WASHINGTON. - Secre t airy
w Honest Harold" IckeS has
just undertaken to assure top
officials of PWA and the Interior
Department that they are not be-
ing subjected to wire tapping,
dictaphone planting and other eS-
pionage.
Ickes acted to solve a cockeyed
situation. Responsible, highly-paid
officials were complaining to each
other of tapped telephone CONVEX
sationS, of surveillance of visitors
to their offices and of being shad-
owed outside.
Some officials even had private
electricians search their offices
for possible dictaphones or hid
den wires. IckeS himself, appar-
emily to make sure no one was
shopping without his knowledge,
had the telephone company check
important offices recently-in-
Guiding his own.
So the secretary summoned sew
eral dozen officials to a depart
mental conference. He said he
had heard some were disturbed
by talk of overlapping and dicta-
phones, that there had been some
Of that once, but wasn't any more.
He hadn't delegated the authority
for such measures to anyone; he
had retained it.
Then up spoke Nathan Stratus,
the new administrator Of the u. S.
Housing Authority. Bear in mind
that Straus, whose agency oper-
ates ANONYMOUSLY under the In
terror Department, was bitterly
opposed for his job by IckeS.
Straus demanded to know
whether Ickes had any right to
tap wires and so on. He added his
opinion that it was a criminal
offense.

velt's big four" legislative pro-
posals, appeared last night to
have blocked house consideration
Of the senatc-approved measure
until December 10 at the earliest.
The house labor committee
agreed 10 to two not to attempt
to withdraw the bill from the
house rules committee, where il

sion. Instead, il agreed TO at
tempt q final effort to pressure
it" from the rules group and.
failing in that, back n petition
circulated by Chairman Mary I.
Norton, d., n. j., of the house la
Dor committee, TO force it TO the
floor.
Mrs. Norton appealed to the
lower chamber to sign the petit
ton. In two days of campaign
ing she has secured l05 sigma
lures. A total of 2lS, or a ma
jority, is necessary TO take it
from the committee.
o Even with the required sigma
lures. the bill could not be
brought TO the floor under house
procedure until December 10 and
there was little likelihood that OPP

would Switch" their stands to

"UnlcS there are a lot of fib-
bcrs around here. we will get

agriculture must be the last of all institutions IN

ENvIEs THE WORK Err:

DOmenick POdeSta, retired Dusi-
ness man and octOgenarian, says
he cnvies the man who works. he
is fond of recounting the days of
hardship, especially when arrlv-
ing in New York from Italy with
one American silver dollar as his
monetary assets.
Snow was deep in New York
on his arrival. He overheard the
remark that there would be lots

snow. He invested ID cents IN
broom and not being able to
speak English couldn't call for a
shovel but walked over the city
until he saw one, whereupon he
handed over the balance of his
capital. The merchant looked at
the money and looked at Mr..
Podesta. They couldn't exchange
ideas but he gathered that the
money was inadequate. At any
rate he went off with the shovel
minus any capital and when night
fell he was $3.50 to the good, the
equal of a skilled workman's
wages back home. He shoveled on
through the winter and when
spring opened he sent his par
ents 5000.
Mr.. Podesta says the United
States is a great country. He
came to HenderSonville a few
years ago from Detroit, liked the
place, erected nice home and
invested in business properties,
