or and speaker III addition. Bank
head was a good presiding officer
but didn't make his job the vehicle
for aggressive leadership. To top
if all. the administration was not
playing ball with its congressional
leadership, but was sending up bills
and messages without prior con-
sultation. All of that is now chang
ed.
Rayburns biggest asset is the
fact that house members have MN
pegged as a square shooter. He has
lets of conflicting friendships, but
they don't touch his job.
The present speaker put through
some of the New Deals key leg
islation-the holding company bill
and the bill creating the Federal
Communications commission are
samples-but the job he is most
proud of in all his % years in con-
greSS is his creation of the Rural
Electrification Administration. Dur
ing the Christmas holidays he was
driving Congressman Lyndon john
son over a back-country road in
Texas. Suddenly he pulled up to
halt and pointed to an electric
light line which swung off to tiny
cabin by a lonely cotton patch.
See that?" said Rayburn. That
woman doesn't have to use one of
those old lard-oil lamps any more.

UpPUSITES MAKE
GOOD TEAM
Rayburn and Mccormack, the
party's floor leader, are making a
good team. In most ways they are
cpposites. Rayburn is stolid, stum-
py, bald as an Easter egg, deliber
ate, given neither to oratory or
back-slapping. a Texan from way
back. Mccormack is city Demo-
crat" from Massachusetts, an i'm
posing-lcoking chap with an ex-
truding personality and flair for
minglins with his fellows. He tends
TO be a diplomat; Rayburn is
pretty Dlunt ana never dreams OF
tempering the wind to the shorn
congressman.
Under the surface, Rayburn is a
sentimentaliSt. He still carries a
battered watch which members CT
his delegation gave to him 25 years
ago when he was in the Texas leg
islature. The gavel with which he
calls the house to order each day
Is a souvenir some Dallas high
school boys gave him in 1884 in the
innocent confidence that some day
he was sure to be a speaker.

WASHINGTON. Jan. II. - The
speaker Of the house will be n
more important man in the govern
ment this wear than for a long
time.
Sam Raybuln of Texas, who
holds the job. is the sort OF man
who will return the post to its old
Importance. He won't be a Car
Cannon. but he definitely will be
one of the three or four top men
il the administration.
This is partly because he is a
different sort of man than his pre-
decessor. the late William B. Bank
head. and partly because President
Roosevelt has adopted a new atti-
tude toward his party's leaders
in congress. The important part
is that Speaker Rayburn has
Roosevelt's confidence 100 per cent
and. despite half-baked criticisms
occasionally heard On the fringes
of the New Deal he gives 100 per
cent loyalty in return.
TELL EN-
THE TRUTH
Two true stories show the change
in the administration relationship
with congress. :,
About a year ago, someone at a
press conference asked Speaker
Bankhead if he expected a presi I
dental message on taxation. He r. y
piled that as far as he knew no
such message was coming. Half an
hour later. presidential message
on taxation was laid on his desk
to be read to the house.
Just before the last fireside chat,
FDR had Rayburn in and discussed
the defense program and the COM
ing radio address, remarking that
he was highly pleased with some
Of the defense program progress,
greatly displeased with other parts
of it.
What should I tell the people
about it, Sam?' he asked.
Tell EN- the truth said Ray
burn. That's what the people eX-
pect from you, Mr.. President. Don't
hide the bad parts. Tell the people
just what you have told me"
Roosevelt did SO . and the
point is that now he is talking TO
the speaker cf the house before a
speech or a bill is drafted. not af-
terward

handing Of the ball forward as
Ea4aHys- times as desired. This Will
permit more deception and faster
reverse plays. 1t should be a
great help TO the attack.
The other important change
is that a fourth down forward
pass no longer results in a touch
back. The defending team takes
the ball at=the=spot of the pre-
Vious down. which is apt to be
the vineyard line. That free
gift of 20 yards 10 the team
with its back TO the wall is out
on this incomplete pass play
over the goal line. This also is
a great boon TO the offense.
This rule though is partially
offset by another which provides
that if any player of the punt
er's team touches the ball down
inside the 10-yard line il is a
touchback. Then the defending
team will get the ball out on the
20-yard line.
These are the important new
rules Of the coming season. All
in all l do believe they will make
