What this all means is that
if you had any expectation Con-
gress would seize the economy
leadership from Mr.. R. las
threatenedD you may now for.
get it. The bottom of the bud
get yardstick is to be Mr.. RS
budget. Congress will work up
from there.
THIS fact may be beclouded for
l. a while yet by the use OF a
few foggy figures. For instance,
the Congressman who worked on
this first bill are patting them
selves on the back because their
totals show they reduced the
proposed budget by $3,732,O2O.
They did, but nearly $4,000, 900
of the savings resulted from the
fact that the iva engineers
cannot make up their minds
where to build Gilbertsville
Dam after the budget had in.
cluded an estimate for it, and
hence the money is not wanted
now.
The other 100000 trimmed
from the $1,410, 100000 bill was
almost entirely a reduction in
allowances for the Social Secu-
rity Board administrative ex-
penSes. Customary congress
sional procedure is for the House
to do little delicate trimming
like this, and then the Senate
later restores the trimming.
Generally the Senate restores
far more than the House took
out.
There is no reason yet to ex-
pect that the usual procedure
will not be followed this year.
HREDITABLE inside confirm.
" alton has been obtained that
Justice McReynolds is the only
Justice who is expecting to re-
tire. A friend of his has noted
some personal steps McReyn-
olds has taken lately which
can only be interpreted as prep
arations for retirement. The
time is uncertain. General as.
sumption is it will come after
the sole remaining New Deal
case has been disposed Of, GER
tainly at the end Of the court
session in June.
Court intimates have long
been worried about Justice Car.
dozo's health. He pulled
through one of these heart
attacks before, but the court
has not been expecting him to
return to active duty any time
soon.
At any rate, the conclusion is
now clear that the Supreme
Court hereafter will be any kind
of court Mr.. Roosevelt chooses
to make it, provided he can get
his nominees confirmed by the
Senate.
IT did not get out but the first
L person who signed the Texas
delegation petition that the
President appoint Representa-
tive Hatton Summers to the
court, was the Presidents loyal
Floor Leader Sam Rayburn. This
might be more significant, if q

was that he was in Minneapolis
when the petition was circulated
and could not sign.
The petitioners do not know il

6 Governors Fight
The Washington times., 1938-01-13

hearSay. The implication ne
left was that all these news
stories you have been reading
about Congress doing something
further to cut expenses were
ghost stories. He fenced with
some anonymous somebodies
who want to take this bill
and cut it Is to 25 per cent" and
then he wound up with what is
to be the new policy of the Con-
gressional curtailers and bal.
ancers:
"If we can hold this deficit TO
what is set out in the PreSi-
dents message, $950,000, 900, I
think it will be a step in the
right direction"
DIFFICULTIES Of economic
~ ing were made quite clear
by Mr.. Woodrum. He men,
toned that this first appropri-
alton bill contained the veterans
pensions and allowances and
asked the Congressman if they
were going to cut that. The
question was merely rhetorical.
No one expected him to wait for
the answer and he didn't.
Mr.. Woodrum also said his
bill contained appropriations
which are nearest to the heart
Of the people" meaning the
iva, the. curtailed CCC, the
Social Security Board, the vets,
etc. These certainly seemed to
be nearest the hearts Of the
Congressman because they ap-
plauded everything he said, ex-
cept his approval Of Mr.. RS cur
tailment of the CCC.
Truth is Woodrum and the
House leaders we're skittish
about that. They had arranged
an army of speakers. trench
mortars," they call them. These
were to be wheeled up and
aimed at the expected rebellion
against cutting CCC one penny.
To the amaZement of the lead
ers, the mortars were not
needed. After some mild pro
test, the House approved the
Presidents CCC curtailment

LARGE AUDIENCE.
ENJOYS RECITAL.
OF STOJOWSKI.
Polish Pianist Presents
AH-Chopin Program
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

SlglSmund SCoJOWSKl, long one
Of the representative Polish
pianists resident in this country,
came to the Sulgrave Club last
night to play an all-Chopin re-
cital. He listed several of the
masterpieces such as the Fan
tasy, the B-flat minor Sonata,
the F minor Ballade and the
c sharp minor Scherzo. These,
with some of the PreludeS,
Etudes, Mazurkas and an unim-
rortant Polonaise. made up an
interesting and well contrasted
sequence.
AUDIENCE CORDIAL
Stojowski has joined the
ranks of the veterans of the
keyboard. What he has to offer
the public is less concerned
with technical exhibition than
with the musical address. This
Is filled with the traditions and
the manneriSms of the past;
with sudden and, to our ears,
Illogical changes of tempo; with
unexpected accelerations and re-
tards; with lyric moments that
hurry where this generation
would linger.
1t was just because Of these
courageous revivals of an elder
and outWorn tradition that
Stojowski's playing developed
its undeniable elements of
charm, its sincerity and its sus-
tanned challenge to the interest
Of the listener. Doubtless even
those who disagreed with his
readings respected him.
His audience was large and
cordial.
GREET SOPRANO
In the Metropolitan A. M. E.
Church a large audience greeted
Abbie Mitchell, a colored So
prano who has made artistic
history for her race. The I'M
usual beauty of a, voice that
can accomplish the contradic-
ton of assuming brilliance with
out loss of its native softness
has been developed into some
thing quite distinctive in the
world of song.
This vocal quality was
adapted to some widely con-
trasted schools of song. 1t
served Lieder of Brahms and
Wolff. 1t found the Russian
composers-Tschaikowsky, Rim
sky-Korsakow, Bliedham, Nous
sorgsky, Borodin, and Rach-
maninoff-especially congenial.
It even took on something of
northern GOODNESS and purity for
three beautiful songs of Grieg
and, of course, it discovered
other colorS and infections for
the group of Spirituals which
closed the program.

It's an old saying that thousands
have kidney weakness and don't know
It,"
Backache may or may not come from
bad functioning kidneys. but it often
does.
Much of the waste, excess acids and
poisons are drawn from the blood and
expelled thru the kidneys and bladder
If the kidneys become inactive and
do not work naturally they need flush
ing Just as do the bowels.
So II your back aches-if your blad-
der is irritable-if passage is difficult

If you have to break your refreshing
sleep by getting up often at night-if
you are continually nervous or irritable,
it may be that your kidneys need
attention.

want anything. With the indie.
pendence Of some Of the Irish, he
would tell Mike that he had
everything he wanted: q job, a
place to sleep and money to buy
a good shore dinner when he felt
like 1t.
And his independence led him
to speak straightly to Mike when
prohibition faded from the ma
tional horizon and "the boys" who
had been taking big money out
Of illegal booze sought other out
lets for their talents.
Mike" Dan told him time and
again, don't get mixed up with

among thieves or mobsters. Fry
them a little in the backroom Of
any police station and they'll sing
for their freedom. And you're a
Big Shot. A lot Of people are out
to get you. One false step and
you're sunk"
Mike would laugh and tell him
to forget 1t, And he did get mixed
up with the underworld. mostly
because politics being what they
are, he couldn't help it. He
needed strong-arm men to line up
the votes Of the unwilling and to
pack the ballot boxes with the
votes Of voters long dead.
For these services, he furnished
protection in the high places so
that when lone Of the boys" was
taken for murder, racketeering
and other crimes, Mike fronted for
him, supplied the right lawyers,
pulled the strings that united the
knots binding the criminal.
And, in time, his deeds caught

arrested and held in a bail so high
that even he couldn't raise 1t.
