THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is approx
ed by 81 per cent and disapproved
by 33 per cent of voters of the ma
ton in the Gallup poll.
In Washington, where Mrs. Ro-
osevelt is included in the local
news, the First Lady is rated much
higher. 1t is a conservative estimnti
that Mrs. Roosevelt would get above
80 per cent in her "home town"
irrespective of the fact that her
famous husband wouldn't do nearly
as well.
The National Capital appears to
regard Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
as the most outstanding "Ficst
Lady" in our country's history.

IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS
J. E. Jones

History is repeating. Big rows are
historic at the beginning of the last
two years Of the second term of an
American President. In the present
instance last Falls elections chang
ed the political complexion of Con-
gress and produced direct chal-
lenge to the policies of President
Roosevelt.
The President in turn made the
usual demands upon Congress at the
beginning of the session and in
order to maintain his position he
made partisan appointments-that
is appointment of men to the Cab
met, and an Interstate Commerce
Commissioner upon whom he could
depend to go to bat for him before
the public in much the same way
that Secretary Ickes and the Depart
ment of Justice heads have done in
the past.
President Roosevelt's message to
Congress asking for restoration of
the additional $15O,O0O, 900, delet-
ed from the relief bill, was rather
scornfully received, with such re-
marks as "you told us that before. .
The defeat of the nomination OF
Judge Roberts is rather historical
because it is described as the most
devastating defeat of a Presidential
appointment on record. The Sena
tors realized that the President was
handing them a new precedent ant
that if they approved it the "Sena
torial courtesy, which is in effec
a method by which the Senate par
ticipates with the President in max
ing an appointment, would be wip
ed out. The Senate merely upheld 1T
own position in voting u to 9 tt
reject the appointment of Judg'
Roberts.
In short, there is an open breal
between the White House and Con
gress. 1t will continue. All we know
at this early date, is that the coun
try is witnessing the opening ac
that will likely effect the futur,
history Of the country.

The great public utility war in
the IVA country is being brought to
a finish through the sale Of the Com
and Southern properties
in Tennessee to the government.
Thus IVA will have clean field in
which to supply cheap power to the
public.
There has been real fight for
years, in which the government has
not been reflected in favorable
light because the IVA authority
persisted in it's efforts to beat down
the private companies and obtain a
price that would have been detri-
ment to stockholders. President
Wilkie is entitled to great credit for
having stood out under trying diff
culties.
