Appointments Upsetting to
Followers of President

One never can tell what trades
may be made within the great club
known as the senate, but surely Mr..
Amlie will be discussed fully before
he is confirmed. And as / said
above, he may not be approved at
all. The appointment may be the
straw that breaks the cameps back.
When Mr.. Roosevelt began max
ing appointments three or four
months ago that were upsetting to
some of his followers, they had to
decide between their loyalty to him
and their convictions. The bulk of
them stood by him. He was the
head of the Democratic party; party
unity was, and is, essential, and
they justified the votes in confrma-
ton in various ways. The Hopkins
and Murphy appointments were con-
f1rmed because it always has been
the philosophy of senators that cab
met jobs are intimate associations
with the President. He is entitled,
therefore, to have whom he desires
to sit with him at the cabinet ses-
o1OAA 1il0 " dQVlSG IllIIl WIlGQ ne
seeks advice. l think there was an
inclination to accept Mr.. Murphy.
too, because it was known he want
ed to crush the sit-down Strikes at
their inception and was confronted
with White House refusal of SUD-
port. There were fewer votes
against him for that reason than
against Secretary Hopkins. On the
other hand, Senator Vandenberg, the
Michigan Republican, said he voted
against the nomination because "the
issues were the same as in Michi-
gan's election last fall when Mr..
Murphy was repudiated."
When it gets to cases like the All
red appointment for Texas Judge
and the Roberts appointment in Vir-
ginia, there simply is no explana-
ton available-unless as I said. the
"inner circle is leading Mr.. Roose-
welt into morass. Senators Glass
and Byrd are going to fight the Rob-
erts nomination. Senators Sheppard
and Connally were not consulted
about the judgeship in their state.
AS far as it has leaked out, nobody
was asked whether the Anlie an
pointment would arouse enthusiasm
or hatred.

that the younger readers do
not find it the interesting
reading that the oldsters do.
This must not worry us, for
another report of great inter
est was made by the Federal
Council of Churches which
shows that the church men,
bership in 1887 increased
twice as fast as the popula-
ton. This is a heartening
fact to us who live in a
religious community. We feel
that, with the amount of
news that reaches us on all
sides that is upsetting and
sensational, most of it bad.
that these reports upholding
the faith of our fathers. Is
good and welcome here.

THE GRANGE AND RAILROADS

The National Grange ex-
pressed it's stand and that of
the farmer regarding the
present railroad situation.
The organization of the
Grange was formed about 70
years ago due to what ap-
peared, to the farmers of the
day, a greedy monopoly on
the part of the rails. Today,
when the farmer has the
shipping by truck at his
hand, he can be more sympa-
thetic towards the railroads.
The American Farm Bureau
and the Grange have both
made a plea for the private
ownership of the rails, if that
solution would be of help.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1939-02-09

These organizations are ready
to cooperate and are willing
to reverse their original
stand. The railroad problem
is one that needs much help
and consideration from all of
us. With the more modern
transportation by truck the
railroads have been sorely
affected. The field is no
longer a monopoly and the
suggestion was made by the
Grange that Congress might
consider relaxing railroad
regulations somewhat in order
to solve the problem. We
shall follow the railroad sit
uation with interest and shall
hope for a satisfactory So
luton.

Nomination of Amlie of
Wisconsin Creates Fuss

But all OF these appointments now
seem to have been only a build I'D
to climax. They were to be fol-
lowed by an appointment that
caught the senators in the ribs. II
was the nomination Of former Rep.
Thomas F. Amlie, Wisconsin pro-
gressive and also lame duck, to be
a member of the interstate COM
merce commission. That nominal
ton went to the senate without even
the great progressive, Senator La
Toilette, knowing about it, and there
are those in the senate who believe
that Senator LaFollette would have
advised against it, had he been
consulted.
There is a very real possibility
although not conclusive-that the
senate will reject the A,nlie appoint
ment. The pressure AGAINST him is
quite unusual. Even the legislature
Of his nome state adopted resolu-
ton, memoralizing the senate in OPP
position to confirmation.
Whatever virtues Mr.. Amlie may
have, his qualifications to be mem
Der OF the interstate commerce COM
mission cannot be numbered in that
list. He knows nothing about trans
portation: he is not an economist,
and If his record as a member of
the house of representatives here
is proper criterion, he is as lack
ing in judicial characteristics-well,
he simply does not have them. His
work in the house was distinguished
by the fact that he headed a con-
glomerate group which was at
tempting to coordinate liberal
thought" in the nation. But appar-
emily the folks in Wisconsin rather
doubted his value for they refused
to select him as the progressive SEN
atorial candidate-who, incidentally.
was doomed for licking anyway
in the November election.

are educated to shoulder guns
as soon as they are strong
enough to carry them. To
associate war and weapons in
the same field as Orphan
Annie and Skippy, is too far
fetched for our own youth.
We are of the decided opinion
that what these little Romans
need is a good laugh, and
think the American funny

NO COMICS

OF course we were not sur
prised when we learned that
the propaganda minister of
Italy was barring American
newspaper comic strips from
his country. Somehow or
other, we sort of figure that
anything is possible in Europe,
at this time. The children
OF the Romans are being
taught that life is mostly
work and war, and work Is
not comic strips, except per-
haps for the fellow who
draws them! These children

Rep. T. Alan Goldsborough of
Maryland lately has been named a
federal judge for the District of Co.
lumbia. 1t will be recalled that it
was Mr.. Goldsborough who invited
President Roosevelt into Maryland
last summer in the attempt to purge
Sen. Millard Tydings from the DEM
ocratic ranks. In fact, it was at
Denton, Md, Mr.. Goldsborough's
home town, that the President made
his most vicious attack on Tydings
and delivered his eulogy of praise
for David ]. Lewis in the senatorial
primaries.
There have been other appoint
ments mixed in here and there.
some important, some Just run-of-
the-mine jobs, and they have not
met unanimity. Even the selection
OF Professor Felix Frankfurter as a
justice of the Supreme court of the
United States did not arouse en-
thusiasm among the senators who
voted approval Of the nomination.
I, personally, heard several sena-
tors remark that the Frankfurter
appointment was so much better
than that of Hugo Black, a year
ago, that it was refreshing to vote
for him. Yet, they added qualifi-
cation. Justice Frankfurter has
brains, a fine mind-but he is looked
upon as the father of so much of the
New Deal that his presence on the
highest court appeared none too
pleasing.
