CONGRESS SLOW TO

Baking at Roosevelt Reor-
ganization Measure AS
New Venture
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COIumnist

Washington, Feb. 10-Congress is
showing less inclination to rush thro-
ugh President Roosevelt's government
tai reorganization plan than might
have been expected, considering how
strongly the White House tenant en-
phasized it as unjust" piece of bust
ness for his enormous majority on
Capitol Hill to attend to.
The fact is that the lawmakers
quite generally feel balky at the idea
of surrendering so much of their leg
islative authority to the President.
Outsiders may not realize it but the
truth is that congressman are ex-
tremely jealous of their prescribed
rights under the Constitution. The
Senate is as proud as Punch of its
executive title to confirm presidential
appointments and ratify treaties. The
House Of Representatives is equally
conceited over its prerogative to
initiate all financial legislation.
They are jealous of one another and
jointly jealous of the executive power,

Board Also
Wants Ten Instead
of Five Members To
Get Majority Fav-

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Feb. 10-Commissioner OF
Agriculture Kerr Scott seems to have
torn a leaf from President Roosevelt's
notebook in his proposal to 1ncrease
membership Of the State Board OF
Agriculture from five to ten. The
idea was translated into action Tues
day with introduction of bill Repre-
sentative j. H. Poole, of Moore.
According to those who ought to
know the inner working of the board
of agriculture, a majority is not IN
accord with the commissioner on
number of policies, and Mr.. Scott has
been forced to contend with open hos
tility in certain instances.
Hence the effort to increase the
board in expectance that the added
members will show a more sympathe-
tic attitude toward the commissioner
and his projects. Hope along this line
however, will prove well or ill-found-
ed only after the additional members
have been named, if the Poole bill
masses for the measure puts their Sc
lection in the hands Of Governor Hoey,
and it is by no means a certainty that
the executive would choose only Scott
yes-men for the places.
At the same time that he introduc-
ed he reorganization measure, Repre-
sentative Poole also tossed in bill
repeating an act of 1925 which gave
the commissioner of agriculture al

STAGE BELIEVED
 NEAR GREAT ERA
Dr. Hubert Heffner Pre-. diets Comeback Attrib.
 uted to Public

Stanford University. Cal, (UP)-- The American stage has staged a comeback and Is headed for c Golden Age, according to Dr. Hubert Heifner member of the Northwest ern unlversity's School Of Speech and Drama.
 pr. Heffner is conducting the summer course In dramatics at Stanford university, where an elaborate production Of Twelfth Night" in modern tempo will be the outstanding feature of the sea- son.
 "America's commercial theater leads the world today" pr. Heff- ner declared. Tt has already re- covered from the blight Of the eco- homie depression, and now the legitimate stage is on e threshold of c Golden Age.
 "The reopening of Broadway playhouses that have been closed for years, the tremendous growth of community playhouses and the summer troupes and the increased enrolment in drama courses of- fered by schools, colleges and uni- versailles are all indications of the revival of the American drama"
 AS regards the subsidized thea ter, including the controversial federal theater project, pr. Heff- ner said.
 "Why shouldn't drama be sub- sidized2 Symphonies, paintings, opera and all other forms of art receive monetary support. It should be remembered, however, that Sub-

sidized drama can only Justify It's existence when 1t is In direct contact with It's audience, My own feeling is that the theater can and should be able to pay its own way and by paying It's own way it best meets the requirements Of the audience. "
 pr, Heffner attributed the re- Suscitation of the legitimate stage to the nationwide demand by in- telligent men and women who have become genuinely interested in the stage.
