THE dressmaker touch is very
much the thing in home decora-
tons these days. Especially for
summer. We were invited to
friends home recently Eyes, she's
an interior decorator!) and we found
her place looking as fresh as daisy
In its summer dress
The living room, for instance, is
rather a formal room IN winter with
a light green rug, even paler green
walls, floral chintz draperies on
copper toned ground and furniture
coverings in beige to brown with
accessories of natural wood and cop
per. In the summer all the furni-
ture is sip-covered in pale green
linen finished with scallops bound
in white, and with a placket down
its back buttoned on with big white
pearl buttons. And the chintz cur
tains are replaced with lace net
tinted pale green, and accessories of
pewter and glass are trotted out.
You can picture what fresh cool
room that would be during the hot
months.

Presidents Hints Sound
Like Admission of Failure

The smashing of the administra.
tons scheme, of course, did have
its political repercussions and Mr..
Roosevelt, feeling the toe Of a stiff
boot as he obviously did feel such
political blow, viii be carrying his
case to ''the people" soon. He said
In press conference one day that
''the people were entitled to know
who was responsible, meaning the
congress. He also suggested that
the people ought to know in advance
why there would be more unemploy-
ment and why there would be new
taxes to pay for relief. All of which
sounds rather like an admission of
failure. That is to say, these
schemes of spending, of pump prim-
ing, of creating new and greater
debt, all have failed In returning
the country to anything like nor
nal condition. We have nothing to
show for something like SIS, 900, 00o,-
900 so expended excepting the
bonds Of the United States govern
ment that are outstanding.
New Dealers, however, are still
battling. I noted one of them said
the other day that an extra session
of congress IN November of this
year was surely necessity. That
proposal viii bear watching. ! have
talked with many, many leaders IN
congressman of long experience

Not Politics Alone MoUed
House to Oppose President

The refusal Of the house members
10 do the bidding Of the Chief Execu-
tive must be examined In something
more than just political light, how
ever, because of the two provisions
of the Constitution that I quoted.
It must be recalled that the authors
of tie Constitution contrived to build
a national legislative body with a
dual purpose: l. to represent the
Union Of states which is accom-
plished through the senate, and, 2.
TO represent the individual citizens
which is accomplished through the
house of representatives The house,
therefore, is held to be the body
more responsive to individual think
ing among the people and to react
more quickly to changes IN public
sentiment. That matter of having
taxation originate in the house,
therefore, is seen to be an attempt
to reflect II the legislative acts the
willingness or unwillingness of the
people TO stand for taxes, since the
house members must stand for cleo
ton each two years.
Again, when the Constitution said
that appropriations had to be en-
acted as law before money is paid
out Of the treasury, there was a
patent curb on wild and prohigate
spending. The house, being closer
to the people, first felt the call of the
people for government spending and
responded. Since the senators, too,
are elected by direct vote of the
people, they also heard the siren
call and voted out money with the
greatest Of ease. But the house led
the way.
Lately, however, there has been
a change In that individual think
ing. The majority of the people
have begun to wonder where all of
this spending was going to end; they
began to wonder how the national
debt-now well above S45, DOC, 000, 900
would ever be paid. They smelled
fresh taxes. The senate heard, but
failed TO heed, this new call. Sena-
tors chiseled and nibbled at curtail-
ment, but they did not put their
mind to the business of cutting ex-
penditures. It was the house that
led the way, again. And, as I said
earlier, they acted definitely by re-
fusing even to debate the two cor
nerstone bills-the spending lending
bill and the housing bill.

Bruckarfs Washington Digest

WASHINGTON.-The Constitution
Of the United States-that document
that has served Us so well notwith-
standing the razzing given 1t by en-
lghtened thinkers Of recent years
says In Article l that al bills for
raising revenue shall originate In the
house Of representatives" 1t further
says with an emphasis that, mo
moneys shall be drawn from the
treasury but In consequence Of ap-
preparations made by law"
There is, of course, nothing at all
new In the above paragraph. 1t is
important, however, TO remember
those provisions Of the basic law of
our nation for In them again we see
wisdom and q rather clear under
standing of what happened just be-
fore congress adjourned its first ses-
sion. 1t is as though the authors Of
the Constitution were laying a
prophecy when one considers the re-
cent revolt Of the house of repre-
sentatives against President Roose-
velt's spending-lending program.
(And, by the way, during the de-
bates on this program it became
known as the spending" program
among those terrible people who op-
posed it,
I assume that throughout the land
there was much talk about the re-
volt against the Presidents policies
for current spending as being pure
ly politics. have heard from many
sections Of the country, and the sto-
~ was the same; politics. That is
only partly true. Obviously, the
house members had their weather
eye on the political aftermath Of
what they were doing when they re-
fused even TO give consideration to
Mr.. Roosevelt's spending-lending
plan that originally involved more
than So, 900, 900, 900. They considered
politics, too, when they refused to
debate the merits of the $500, DOC, 900

should have debated that thing in

Congress Failed to See That
Money Was Properly Spent

I always have opposed congress
sional action that delegates power
settled on the congress by the Con-
stitution. In these columns, there
has never been any deviation from
that conviction. Since 1893, there
has been a constant trend In the
wrong direction. New powers have
been given the President time after
time. Particularly, has this been
true IN the matter of handling mon
ey. Congress obeyed the dictates of
the Constitution by appropriating
the money, but it did not do that
which there certainly is duty to
do, namely, see that the money is
spent properly.
In an examination of the latest
spending-lending scheme put for
ward by the President and rudely
shattered by the house, therefore, it
strikes me that another device to
get more power away from con-
gress was being proposed. In the
first place, there was little, Il any,
hope that recovery could come out
of the program. We have seen only
slightly different schemes flop annu-
ally for several years. Further,
these plans that are temporarily out
of the window appeared to me to be
a trick to evade the law in that the
financing was to be done without
consideration Of the national budget
and finances. None of these new
debts would show in the budget.
The program resembled a road that
is cut around the edge of a town
to avoid the business section, by
pass.
Respecting the merit of the spend
ing-lending bill, itself, there is little
in my opinion to warrant its adop-
ton. In plain language, the proposal
would have socialized credit in the
United States-and can not believe
that the United States is ready to
take up state socialism after the
manner of Mussolini or Hitler.

Action of House Reflects
VIII of People on Spending

It is made to appear, therefore,
that the concept of the Constitution
authors was correct. They felt that
the house would hear from home, as
we say these days. And the house
has heard. Politics, alone, was not
responsible except insofar as politics
represents the shifts in position that
statesmen must take to meet the
changes IN public sentiment.
The bulk Of the people, it seems,
have suddenly awakened to the fact
that something must be done about
the continued spree upon which the
federal government has been en-
gagged In the last five or SIX years.

When she came to long skirts,
as the saying used to be, she

express the national pastime.
But, herself being sandlot prod

year she came to New York as
a student in the summer season

masters degree in elementary
