 RETURNED FAVOR
 When Rep. John Mccormack of Massachusetts was elected Dem- ocratic Floor Leader of the House, one of his strongest and most unexpected supporter was Geor- gia's fiery New Deal-hating Gene Cox. Though the two men were poles apart on economic views, Cox nevertheless backed McCor- mack and did yosman work for him.
 Recently Mccormack returned the favor. Before leaving on a :. trip to Massachusetts. McCor- mack named Cox acting Floor Leader during his absence. There's one condition, however, Gene" he grinned. "You'll have to refrain from these hot One- minute speeches on the floor. 'T don't want my stand-in taking swings at the Administration. It would look bad"
 Mccormack wished the Geor- gian luck and left the chamber. Hardly had he departed when Cox jumped up and asked permission to address the House for one inin- ute. New Dealers held their breath, expecting him to uncork one of his scorching blasts.
 But they relaxed with a sigh of relief when Cox 1auncned into a terrific tirade against John L. Lewis.
 PARTISAN POLITICS VANISHES
 Aside from Democratic Chair man Ed Flynn, who is always complaining about Republicans being appointed to new government jobs, not many people realize how much partisan politics has been forgotten in Washington these days.
 There are, illustrations galore, but one of the best Is the present job of Cryus Mccormick, Repub- lican National Committeeman from New Mexico. Scion of the famous Internationa: Harvester family, Mccormick is now working hand-in-glove with one of the New Dealers in Washington, Price Czar Leon Henderson.
 Mccormick is a full-time men1- Der of Henderson's staff and re- gently complete. a trip through the industrial midwest, meeting auto mobile retailers and selling them on Henderson's price, fixing ideas. He made many converts.
 This is strange medicine for some of the folks back in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Mccormick has a ranch, and where he is such rampant Republican boss that his wife tells this story on him.
 In the 1886 election, Cyrus was campaigning vigorously for Ali Landon. Mrs. Mccormick didn't think much of Landon, nor would she vote for Roosevelt. So she finally cast her ballot for Norman Thomas.
 After the votes were counted election night, the Spanish -Ameri- can poll watchers and tellers came in to report to ''PadrOne" McCor- mick.
 Have you got lem all counted? asked Mccormick.
 "Yes, Padr0ne," they replied. We have all the votes for Roosevelt and all the votes for Landon. Hut shes (poanting te Mrs. McCormiek) .svOted for . Thomas. Of course, we didn't count that.v
