Rivers Accuses Ickes.

NEW YORK, June II LP.-Gov
E. D. Rivers Of Georgia said today
that Secretary Ickes had told an
absolute untruth" when he de-
scribed AZ promotion" a proposed
fee for the l.. w. Robert Arm of ar
chitects In connection with P. w. A.
construction OF = Georgia hospital
for the insane.
The fee we offered the Robert
arm was solely for architectural
work" Gov. Rivers declared.
I'VE have never offered Robert
anything for promotional work. His
fee was proposed In a standard form
Of contract and called for s per cent
Of the total cost of the job.
"As far as promotional work, If
you want to call it that, is con-
eerned, I promoted the project my
self. advocated 1t during my cleo
ton campaign and have worked
harder on it than anything I have
ever done"
Gov. Rivers said he recognized
Administrator Ickes' power to dis
approve proposed contracts and that
he would take up the matter on his
return to Atlanta tomorrow.

Secretary Ickes yesterday coupled
q denunciation of lobbying" for
public works projects with an an
nouncement that he had refused to
permit use of Public Works Admin
istration funds to pay a $50, 900 fee
10 the L. w. (Chip) Robert firm of
architects and engineers in connec-
ton with construction of a s4,881,-
900 Georgia State hospital.
Secretary Ickes said contract
between Mr.. Robert, secretary Of
the Democratic National Committee,
and the Georgia State Department
Of Public Welfare provided that Mr..
Roberts Atlanta firm was to receive
the fee If the Federal Government
approved and If the P. w. A. made
a 81. .38l 900 grant for the hospital
for the insane constructed at Mil
ledgeville. Ga.
This, Mr.. Ickes said, violated a
provision of the Georgia depart
ments contract with P. w. A, which
stated that no part of the grant
should be used to pay for Lobbying"
for the institution, either locally or
In Washington.
Secretary Ickes quoted from the
contract a clause providing that the
administrator could rescind the con-
tract if the applicant had paid or
agreed to pay directly or indirectly a
bonus commission or fee" for pro-
curing or attempting to procure ap-
proval of the application" or for
activities of the nature commonly
known as lobbying"
Secretary Ickes, who also is P. W.
A. administrator, said he would not
object to the State paying the $36,-
600 from its own funds, but insisted
that no p. w. A. money be used for
that purpose and cited his original
order OF the 1898 public works pro-
gram that there be mo inside track
to p. w. A. funds"
A special investigating commit
tee Of the Georgia State Legislature
recently absolved Mr.. Robert Of
alleged lobbying" for the institution.
The Democratic committee secre-
tary was accused earlier last week
Of engaging in lobbying here in the
flght between the East and the
South over freight rates.
Representative Martin j. Ken
nedy, Democrat. of New York made
public Monday letter he had writ
ten President Roosevelt in which he
asserted that criticism of Mr.. Rob-
ert's activities on Capitol Hill had
reached the point where 1 would
not be surprised if the Republican
leadership publicly called attention
to the inconsistency which exists
between his political position and
his private interests"

to the effect that, with a few eX-

here and there, the new lending bill
really was not essential, had a pro-
found effect on both Republicans and
Democrats.
Veto Power Coalesces.
There are many in the administra-
ton who feel that the Garner move
ment is partly responsible for the
anti-spending drive. But the vote is
really no surprise. The Republicans,
plus about SO insurgent Democrats,
can do about as they please in block
ing legislation when the Republicans
have sizable minority as they have
today. This has always been true
and probably always will be when
the party in power loses an election
midway in a presidential term. The
1888 elections showed a trend. The
independent Democrats were slow to
take it up, but at last they joined

passes out a gloomy diagnosis. All
the little boomlets thus far launched
have collapsed between the morn
ing and afternoon editions. If the
pulse beats continue to weaken per-
haps the boss will decide not to
take a chance In that case, whom
have they got?
Tony Has What 1t Takes.
To meet this emergency your re-
porter offers kindly hint. How
about Tony Galento?
Granted that Mr.. Galento has
had no political or administrative
experience. But we now have Su-
preme Court justices who have
never tried a case, librarians who
have never been in Libraries and
members of the labor board who
have never seen laborer. The
country has thrown away the ham,
pering tradition that a man, to
hold high office, must know some
thing about the job. Even if that
tradition were still regarded as a
handicap, the positive arguments
for Tony are overwhelming.
He has, in the first place, splen-
did health and a thick skin. His
vitality will make it possible for
him to Jump from job to job, and
from one part of the country to
another, swinging merrily in all
directions, totally unperturbed by
what people may say or think.
He has appeal to the masses. On
the sound New Deal principle that,
if you can get enough of the un-
thinking people to the polls you
need not worry about the thinking
people, he has what it takes. The
large attendance at his recent con-
ference with Mr.. Louis is proof of
his pulling power.
Indifferent to Lessons of History.
Finally, and most important, he
has a sublime indifference to the

he had hardly been brought back to
