 Barring last minute change in secret plans, Administration lead- CTS will shortly revive the legis- lation in the House and launch a new offensive to write it into law. Two factors are behind this decision:
 1. The belief in the inner circle that there has been a powerful popular reaction against the turndoWn of the measure, and that a number of the Congress- men who voted with the opposi- ton now regret they did so and are eager to climb back on the Roosevelt bandwagon.
 2. That even if the bill is re- jected a second time, it would be good political strategy for the Administration to make the issue clear-cut by forcing the boys to stand up and be counted again.
 If the House stands pat and refuses to give ground on the legislation, the President has definitely determined to make government reorganization . battle-cry in this years elec- tions.
 NOTE-Inside word among the six Wisconsin Progressives who bolted the leadership of Sena- tor Bob LaFollette on the bill is that at least three of them, un- der the hammering they have re- ceived from constituents and the party press, have reversed them selves and will vote with the Administration if they get another chance.
 Matriarchs
 Adolf Berle, Brain Trust Assist ant Secretary of State, was de- claiming to group of friends on one of his favorite topics-the overlapping superiority of Berle brain power.
 "There are 26 traceabIe gen. erations of Berles," he boasted, land the last six have obtained their livelihood entirely by in- tellect."
 "Tt must have been the women they married" observed Mrs. RandOlf Paul, who had been lis- tening patiently.
 New York Governor
 One man to keep an eye on, in placing any long-dlStance money on the next governor of New York, is Democratic Congress- man James M. Mead of Buffalo.
 The President and Jim Far ley have been giving him care full once-over, with the idea that he may be the compromise can didate acceptable both to up- State Democrats ana to Labor ties in New York city, and final ly not unacceptable to Tam many.
 Jim Mead is an important figure in Congress, has been a staunch supporter of Roosevelt policies, but will require considerable build-up before he can go over in the entire state.
 This does not mean Solicitor General Bob Jackson Is out of the running. It is still almost anybody's race.
 NOTE-Jim Mead has intro duced in the House the most vicious censorship law in years, giving the Post Office Department the right to prosecute censorship cases it the place where the book or newspaper is received. Thus, the Post Office might pick Dayton, Tenn, scene of the famous monkey trial, as the place to which to try its case, merely because someone sent book through the mails to Dayton
 IVA Morgan
 Congressional IVA Investigators have uncovered 8 strange trail made by Arthur E. Morgan, ex- chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 In preparing for the Congress sional probs of IVA, they have found some tracks linking Morgan to Floyd Carlisle, head of a giant utility empire controlled by J. J. Morgan & Go.
 Clue to the trail came from Arthur Morgan himself-in fact, from. his own expense &C., count submitted just before he was fired by the President. In this he listed payments for special stenographic services" in Miami just at the time he was putting out his hot blasts against David Lilienthal and Harcourt Morgan.
 The Investigators looked up these expenses and found that the stenographer was something more than a stenographer. Morgan had taken the trouble ,o bring to Mi- ami a former confidential secre- tary, now married to rate ex- pert on the staff of Floyd Car
