Rainer Reared in Luxury.

The role Of Luise Rainer in THE
Good Earth which wins her the mo-
ton picture arts and sciences award
Tor 1887, was quite unlike her early
conditioning for the stage and screen.
She was reared in luxury. the
daughter of rich Vienna industrial
lst, but there was quite a touch of
melodrama in her breakaway from her
conservative family. She faxed ap-
pendlcitis, thinking they would take
her to Berlin for the operation. where
she could make dash to the theater.
But. instead, they took out her per-
fectly good appendix in Vienna and
she had to resort to new strategy.
She was finally successful, studying
dancing in Berlin. She broke both her
ankles and weeks of meditation in bed
inclined her again to the theater.
Max Reinhardt gave her chance in
Strindberg's Frau Julia"
She was a holdout against the
movies for some time, insisting she
wasn't beautiful enough" In 1896,
she received the New York critics
award for her portrayal of Anna Held
in THE Great Ziegfeld."

person Of a mere house painter he
was a serious, bespectacled university
student, at first inclined to the

He was of blue-stocking ancestry.
deeply religious, interested in medi-
eVal scholasticism, at ease in the
mellow Viennese culture of the arts
and the humanities, bowling grace
fully to ideas, but never to force.
He made his career as a criminal
lawyer, master Of intricacies and
subtleties Of ancient codes, winning
steadily. In 1927, he entered Parlia-
ment as Christian Socialist deputy,
shy young noble, serving later in
the Buresch cabinet, as minister of the
interior and minister of finance.
Weaving webs of strategy, he has.
In the past, disclosed unsupported re-

Dogged by Suspicion
Sins Of Court Measure Appear Visited on
Reorganization Bill.

5. 1887. he sent his measure proposing
to reorganize the courts. The latter
measure was interpreted as an effort
by the President to get power over
the Supreme Court and the minor
courts. This Interpretation of the
court measure became, by the defeat
OF that measure, a kind of verdict to
the effect that Mr.. Roosevelt wanted
more power than the American tradi.
ton about government wants q Presi-
dent to have.
1t is little wonder if the suspicion
aroused by the court measure began
another suspicion, that the executive
reorganization measure might have the
same motive of more power for the
President. Examination OF the ex-
ecutive reorganization bill in its orig
inal form. and Of the report that ac-
companied It,, confirmed In many the
conviction that this measure would
give too much power to the President
and take too much away from Con-
gress. This conviction remains to this
day. even though the measure in its
original form has been whitfield down
to something much milder.
There is yet another variant. When
Mr.. Roosevelt put his mind on reor-
ganizing the executive departments,
he called in three men. They were
Louis Brownlow, lecturer at the Uni
versity of Chicago; Prof. Charles E.
Merriam Of the same university, and
Luther Gulick These three wrote a
report calling for much greater reor-
ganization of the Government than
had ever been contemplated by pre-
vious measures.
Have City slant
All three OF these are fine, high
minded men, All three wish well to
the human race. But all three have
had associations and experiences
which give them q slant" All three
have had much to do with city gov
ernment-city government, not ma
tional government. They have writ
ten about city government lectured
about city government. taken part in
city government. Prof. Merriam was
once a city councilman in Chicago
and once ran for mayor. Mr.. Brown
low has been city manager of Peters,
burg, Va. and of Knoxville, Tenn.
Now between city government and
national government there is q con-
spicuous difference The recent
changes in theory and practice about
city government have tended to exalt
the executive. the mayor, and tended
to diminish the legislative part Of city
government, the city council. which
corresponds to Congress. The modern
city manager" idea contemplates al
most the extinction Of the functions
OF the city council
1t would not be surprising if these
three men. when they came to pro-
pose changes in the National Gov
ernment, were Influenced strongly by
their associations with city govern
ment. 1t would be little wonder il
they went too far in giving added
power to the President, as the equiv
alent Of a mayor or city manager.
And too far in taking power away from
Congress As the equivalent Of a city
council.
In any event. many Senators think
this. Those who think this have, in
the Senate debate, rather the best of
the supporters Of the measure, many
OF whom support 1t in the same spirit
IN which many Of the same Senator's
supported the court measure mainly
because Mr. Roosevelt wants 1t.

ton OF the executive branch OF the
Government, which the Senate is just
now debating forcefully. Mr.. Roose-
velt said he hopes something will be
passed at this session.
Arguing in favor of the reorganiza-
ton bill, Mr.. Roosevelt said that, be-
ginning In 1918. every President, Dem
ocratic and Republican, has recon-
mended reorganization. That is true.
But as an argument for the present
bill. Mr.. Roosevelt has failed to take
into account the thing that logicians
call "concomitant variants" 1t is a
formidable phrase, but Mr.. Roosevelt
might profitably acquaint himself
with it.
Prompted by Aldrich.
True, every President since 1918 has
recommended reorganization The idea
began with then powerful Senator
from Rhode Island. Aldrich, who said
that If the methods of private busi-
ness were applied to the public busi-
ness 5000 100000 year could be saved.
That was when the total budget was
not much over billion-Aldrich'
statement amounted to saying that
Government expenses could be cut IS
per cent.
But here begin the concomitant va
RANTS. Every reorganization measure
proposed by every President before
Mr.. Roosevelt had as its purpose econ
omy. Mr. Roosevelt's measure does
not claim to effect economy On the
contrary it is candidly stated that the
bill would not effect economy. Sem
ator opposing the present bill, Mr..
Byrd of Virginia, says he can write a
measure which will effect great econ
omy. To degree the present fight
in the Senate is between Mr.. Roose-
velt's measure, which carries no econ
omy. and an alternative measure that
would.
There is another variant. No reor-
ganization measure sent to Congress
by any previous President gave rise
to any suspicion of any motive other
than economy and efficiency. But
Mr.. Roosevelt's measure. and the Cir
cumstances under which he sent it
to Congress, has given rise to pre-
cisely that suspicion And it is this
suspicion that now impedes the pas
sage Of the measure.

Roosevelt sent this measure to Con-
gress. The following month, February
