beginning OF the Roosevelt Adminis-
itration, the New Deal has lifted them
TO a new point OF efficiency in perse-
cutiOn of its opponents Repeatedly
Investigations hnve been used TO in
flnence legislation. Now, with the
technique thoroughly established,
The New Deal is getting q taste Of
The medicine which it prepared.
First there Was the Dies Commit
tee which used the investigative
sounding board 10 expose radicalism
end Communism running wild in the
Washington Administration. Then
came the National Labor Relations
Board inquiry. Not only did it ex-
pose parti5anship on the part Of the
Board as between unions. but also
the extent to which the Board and
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton were working together to en-
force discipline upon business
houses before decisions had been
handed down, by refusing loans.
Now, the lines are being laid in
for further inquiry in
TO activities Of New Deal depart
ments One of these demands is
based upon the action of the Homo
Owners Loan Corporation in going
beyond its authority to control the
Insurance on The properties on which
it loans money, thus providing a new
source Of patronage for New Deal
supporters.

ny JOHN RANDALL FACE

The most interesting politica
phenomena that has attracted Presl
dontial guessers recently was a re
port of betting odds in New Yorl
that Prcsiden. Roosevelt would moi
bc the next President OF the United
States.
The facts were uncovered by the
New York sun According TO infof-
nation which one of the Suns veter-
an reporters and political writer's
attributed to unimpeachable sources
there had been a sudden appearance
in. New York of large sums of money
to be wagered against Mr.. Roose-
yeit's chances. Large bets repeatedly
have already been made. And to add
to the mystery. it was reported that
much of the money was coming from
Jersey City and Chicago. Yet in both
places the Democratic machines -
Hague in New Jersey and the Kelly
Nash group in IIlinois-have been
nOisily insisting that Mr., Roosevelt
be given a third term.
What this adds up to is still any
body's guess. perhaps including
those who are laying the bets and
think they know something.
