BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
by RODNEY BUTCHER

W5ASHINGTCN.--Pat Harrison
y" of Mississippi sought the ma
jority leadership in the Senate
and John J. O'Connor Of New
York went after the same post in
the House.
They were ambitious 10 reach
the highest points in their political
careers. And in each case Frank.
lin D. Roosevelt turned thumbs
down. Harrison and O'Connor
were too conservative for the New
Deal ...
But they got there just the
same. While the men whom the
administration preferred to lead
its forces have pleaded desperately
but impotently for Congress to
stand by the President, Harrison
and O'Connor have appeared con-
spicuously as leaders of a new
majority in Congress--the anti
Roosevelt coalition.
Both are popular and known
generally as good fellows" So
their recent triumphs have been
enjoyed by many friendly COL
leagues who smarted with them
when the administration in its
PALMER days blasted their aspira-
tons.
After the historic defeat of
the Roosevelt reorganization bill,
O'Connor had some of the cor
respondents, photographers and
others up to the sanctum behind
the Rules Committee room and
opened the door of an electric re-
frigerator. which contained cham
payne, whisky and beer. Per-
haps he wasn't thinking Of the
days of late 1886 when he and his
cronies sat in that sanctum and
had to mourn collapse of his CAM
paign for the leadership He had
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1938-04-15

a right, however, TO recall those
days,
An often turbulent, alternately
gruff and genial, but keen-minded
red-haired Irishman, O'Connor
had incurred New Deal wrath.
Although O'Connor did not
rate the leadership through
seniority, his craftsmanship of the
Rules Committee made him the
third most powerful leader in the
House and it had been traditional
that when a southerner---in this
case Will Bankhead of Alabama
was to be speaker, the leader
should be a northerner.
But the administration chose
Sam Rayburn of Texas. RooSe-
welt persuaded Vice President
Garner to come to Washington be-
fore the session began and put
Sam over. That was the end for
O'Connor. But today O'Connor is
still chairman of the Rules Com
mittee.
Long a Democratic leader and
caustic critic of Republican adj
ministrations, Harrison had sWal-
lowed many New Deal measures
in which he did not believe, mean
while shaking the patronage plum
tree with heavy hand.
But when Roosevelt almost
openly expressed his preference
for the relatively liberal Alben
Barley of Kentucky in the face
of Harrison's candidacy last year
to succeed the late Floor Leader
Toe Robinson-and when Barley
won by a single vote which White
House emissaries wangled from
Harrison at the last minute, then

WHO SUFFER FROM TOLL

So Mr.. Earle Browder, the recent candidate for
president of the Communist party, is urging the
enactment of the Byrnes reorganization bill, A
Communist is person who wishes to destroy the
government and to help run it at salary while
trying to destroy it. The cred" enemies of the
American government seem to be as hungry for
paid jobs in the captastic governments of the
nation, the states and the cities as are the ordinary
and garden varieties of Republican and Democrtic
patriots. The fact is that your average Communist
has got to eat and suffers more acutely from the
pains of toll than do most other people,-Charles-
ton News and Courier ...

possible to change a cats.
Cats have a natural aversion to
water. Alice has a golden-eyed
white Persian which, having been
washed regularly once a week
since it was six weeks old, has
not only lost it's aversion to wa
ter but has developed a liking for
it.
1t is funny to see that cat sit
ting quietly on a towel in Alice's
lap, his eyes squeezed tight shut
to keep out the soap and water
while his face is being washed.
And it is equally funny to see
him sitting all by himself in a
bath tub a quarter full of water
in obedience to Alice's command.
"NOw you stay there while | get
towel to dry you"
E The other day that same cat
was observed washing his paws
his Glands" Alice calls them-in
his dish of drinking water. He
would dip in first one paw then
the other and lick it off. Abso-
lutely. Then he would wet first
one paw then the other and rub
it over his face. Absolutely.

English,
Here's his latest grammarsllp;
The laying off of workers
came upon us last autumn
The schoolmarms used to teach
us to keep off "off Of"
But if we had to tell congress
how to spend and pinch the corn
ers on Just four and half paltry
billions without stopping to get
our breath, we would be apt to
slip up on grammar worse than
the president.
For instance. if you had to pre-
mare a budget for your household,
and your Eleanor was OIL the 9th
er side of the country, could you
get any further than this:
Plant q few more rose bushes
and shrubs, paint the house, en-
cage 1899 model radio, install
new rug, plan to buy shack
on the mountain top or down by
the riverside for the week-ends
(provided you live in the city,
otherwise buy stone house i'll the
suburbs for spending the farm
holidays; get all the kids of driv-
ing age strip-down car and
speak for the first 1899 model for
your wife, get two or three new
shot guns and rifles and half 4
dozen hounds land a lap poodle
for the wife,. sport a few new
golf clubs, replenish the Easter
wsrdrobe--and what else!
But a few thousand would ac-
complish all this and we would go
crazy worrying over the balance.
Don't worry about the presl-
dents grammar slips. It's going to
take more than a grammar
primer to control congress.

GOOD NAME PRICELESS

Five years ago two men in my
county were sent to the peniten-
tiary for long terms on the testi-
mony of man who swore that
they had mutilated him. Recently
that man admitted he had lied
about those men. They were par
doned.
But here is the point ] would
like to make: Those two men
never would have been convicted
had their regulations been high
enough to command the conf
dence of the jury. They of course
protested their innocence. but
they We're not believed.
Man, ! man has been saved

name when the evidence was

TO GET RID OF ANTS

One day a farmer went into the Albus drug
store at Stayton and told Fred that his place was
infested with ants, The farmer said he had tried
ant-paste and powder, with no good results, and he
wanted to know if Fred had anything else that
would help rid his place of the pests. Have you
tried the new formula, WPA, on 'em?" "Will that
kill 'em?" asked the man. "Well," said Fred, IF
It don't, it will make 'em so damned lazy you can

Henry David Browder near here
has just yielded 10 boxes of fruit
for the season.
The tree, a seeding, is almost
100 years old and rises about 10
feet in the air.
The tree has produced as much
as 1873 boxes of fruit in one sea-
son. These are field crates and
somewhat larger than boxes in
which the fruit is shipped to mar

GREATER PRODUCTION THE
RASJC NEED ....

In a late issue of The Federation News,
DR.. J. C. K. Mcclure urged Western North
Carolina farmers to produce as much as
possible this year. The fact was empha-
sized that the primary need of this noun
tain area is production on the land.
Through a number of years DR.. Mcclure
has been a resident and farm leader in the
mountain counties he has consistently adj
vOcated this course. That it is wise and
common sense course is the deliberate
judgment of the most intelligent and pro-
gresSive citizens Of the section, including
farmers and other classes. DR.. McClure's
efforts in this direction should be appreci-
ated, and the course outlined by him will
bring satisfactory results to our farmers
and our section of the State if persistently
followed through the years.
The land area possible to cultivate in
the mountain country is limited. Much of
the, land cannot be cultivated. This multi
plies the necessity for high acreage pro-
duction. Farms are small and the average
production per farm is limited. 1t is clear
that to place additional limitations on pro-
duction or take a course that will decrease
production is a mistaken policy for our
farmers. -
Many farm products from other sections
of the United States are shipped into this
section and marketed. So long as our farm
ers do not supply the local markets with
products which can be produced on our
lands, there is evidently crying need for
additional production.
One of the greatest mistakes our farm
ers can make is that of allowing their land
TO lie idle, and grow weeds, while the mar
kets of this region are supplied with farm
products which could be raised in Western
North Carolina but are shipped from dis
tant parts of the United States and sold to
our residents and visitors at high prices.
One of the first steps to aid mountain
farmers that was taken by DR.. Mcclure
when he settled in this section was to point
oat, and supply the figures, showing that
the average production per farm in this
area was far below the average for the
nation and below the average for almost
every other section of the country
DR.. Mcclure stressed the fact that it was
plain the basic need of the section was
greater production, the building up of the
income Of farmers. He has continued to
emphasize this need.
The hope Of the section for lasting pros
perity among the farmers is in bringing all
suitable land into cultivation, building up
the fertility of the soil, and increasing per
acre production as well as average farm
production. That course gives the assur-
ance that our farmers will be able to sup
ply their home needs and will have sur
pluses to market which will bring them the
cash to build up real prosperity in the coun-
try districts of Western North Carolina.
