Michigan in
Washington
BY Esther Van Wagner Tufty

It's going to be interesting to
watch the senior senator Of Michi-
gan operate now that the Congress
is not overwhelming Democratic.
He's a good operator. During the
past few years-especially, since
Pearl Harbor-his speeches in the
Senate have been few and far be-
tween. Neither did he indulge in
partisan sniping remarks and re-
torts at the powerful party-in-pow-
er. Behind the scenes, he was vigil
liant in the committee duties where
the real effective work is done,
anyway.
But it's safe prediction he'll talk
more and make more headlines
with the new 18th Congress. He'll
get even more attention and more
headlines because he has publicly
declared he is not a candidate for
the presidency in 1914. That will
Offset suspicion as to his motives.
Among the veterans on the min
GRITTY side of the Senate, there isn't
speaker who is recognized as a
better voice of the Republican
party.
Even before the Congress open
ed, Senator Vandenberg demon
strated what his policy is to be
. . Shortly ago, he would not
have commented on such an issue
as 1.-The white papers of the State
Department which outline the
events leading up to our advent
into the war" But he talked to
reporters, and more, assailed the
leaders of laXity at Pearl Har-
Dor. This seemed like a good time
to push forward his demand for a
Joint congressional committee on
war cooperation.
The same day the Grand Rapids
man said he would ask the new
Congress to GUST Governor Tugwell
OF Puerto Rico, declaring that the
situation called for a showdown.
The only way Governor Tugwell
can be removed without the Presi-
dents consent, is by impeachment
confined to high crimes and mis-
demeanors.
But Vandenberg though up an
other to prevent such future situa.
tions-get bill passed setting the
term of the governorship to a def
mite two year period. That, at least,
would give the Senate he chance &c
confirm-or not confirm-th gov
ernor every two years =.
Watch for some expansion OF our
security program . Just how
much will depend upon the temper
of Congress, which is more likely
to go along with the Democrats on
war policies rather than on domes-
tic issues.
There's plenty to be said for ex-
pansion OF our setup for social
security. It's a useful instrument
to help Us over the postwar per-
iod E. Certainly, no one can
question that in many Of the states,
the unemployment assurance sys-
TENS are inadequate to meet a new
depression.
Michigan has the Jump on many
states in providing for the unem-
ployed,' says A. ]. Altmayer, chair
man of the Social Security Board.
But he warns Michigan, with its
vast industries, is also apt to be hit
harder than any other state come
the postwar depression Just as II
was after the last World War.
New York and Michigan are con-
sidered leaders in their unemploy-
ment compensation legislation. The
Michigan plan, providing 500 for
20 weeks as maximum), has the
approval OF employers as we'll as
employees. The state is fortunate,
observes Altmeyer, in having
substantial reserve upon which to
draw II lay-off periods develop.
