Reciprocal Trades
Agreement Alt Is
Pushed By Pat
State Senator Sides
With Roosevelt On
HuII's Program

Washington D. ca major legisla-
tive battle has again conferred around
Pat Harrison OF Msssissippi
And with it, the states senior Son
ator is again putting to use his per
suasive talents In behalf Of FRANKLIN
d. Roosevelt.
In 1920, Senator Harrison wal ore
of the powers in arranging the uomi.
nation of James M. Cox Of Ohio for
president and Franklin Delano Roose
Welt of New York for vice president
at the Democratic National Conven-
ton.
In 1882, the Senator took q wild
taxicab ride from his Chicago hotel
to the convention hall to keep his
states delegation lined up for Mr..
Roosevelt for president when pres
sure was being directed toward thu
nomination of Newton D.. Baker.
Now, Senator Harrison, still the
smooth organizer, the convincing
speaker, the keen analyst, has the
spotlight focused on him anew in
aiding passage Of a measure keenly
wanted by the chief executive, just
as he was the key figure when he pi
loted through the Senate during the
early days Of the Roosevelt adminis-
tration much Of the program Of the
New Deal, including the widely-her-
aided Social Security Act, considered
one OF the administrations major
accomplishments.
Key issue at this session Of Con.
sress and in the 1910 presidential
campaign IL the reciprocal trades
agreement program, dear to the hearts
Of the president and Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull.
With recent approval Of q three
year extension OF the program by the
House, the burden Of pushing the act
to passage in the Senate rested upon
the massive shoulders Of the Miss
