The Political Mill
18th Congress Has Supported War Effort,
But Hos Shown Spirit Of Independence

thau was unable to convince the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee that this power to
devalue should be continued. 1t
Is expected the House will follow
the lead of the Senate in this
matter.
A signal defeat for the Presi-
dent was the virtual refusal OF the
Senate to confirm the appoint
ment of Edward J. Flynn, for
mer chairman OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee, to
be United States Minister to
Australia. When it was found
that a majority could not be
mustered to confirm this appoint
ment, it was withdrawn by the
President. The President was
charged with paying a political
debt to his friend with an ap-
pointment of extreme Importance
III war area.
Another defeat for the Presi-
dent is found in the failure to
get favorable action on the ap-
pointment of former Gov. ALL
red of Texas to the Federal
bench. The nomination has
been tied in a double bowknot in
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The President was charged with
playing politics with the courts,
since Mr.. Alfred resigned from
the bench last fall to run for
the Senate against Senator
ODaniel, an anti-administration
Democrat, and having been de-
feated, was within a few months
again appointed to the bench.
Hobbs Bill Passed.
Both the Senate and House
passed the so-called Bankhead
farm bill, designed to give the
farmers parity prices" without
counting in the benefit payments
made them by the Government.
The President vetoed the bill on
the ground that 1t would start
an inflationary spiral. The Sem
ate sent the veto to the Agricul-
tural Committee without acting
on it. 1t is put on ice until the
country knows whether the Gov
ernment yields or does not yield
to John L. Lewis and his de-
mands for a $2-a-day increase
for the coal miners.
The House has passed the
Hobbs bill to outlaw racketeering
by members of teamsters' unions,
and it is before the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee. The labor
unions and ardent New Dealers
opposed the measure. It has
passed also the Kilday bill, which
amends the Selective Service Act
so as to defer married men and
married men with children from
the military draft until after all
the unmarried men had been
subject to induction. The Pace
bill, which would have farm
parity prices take into account
the increased cost Of farm labor,
passed the House, but has been
held up in the Senate, on the
ground that it is infationary.
One of the main battles in
Congress has been over the So
called pay-as-you-go income tax
plan. After nearly three months
OF consideration by the Ways
and Means Committee, the issue
was thrown into the House. The
Carlson-Ruml bill was first de-
feated and then the committee
Dill. Public pressure has been 50
great for this legislation, how
ever, that it has been revived,
and Minority Leader Martin has
put the House on record that m
less some action is had, there
Will be no Easter recess for
House members at all.

1t has extended the life of the
important Lease-Lend Act, so
that the United States can con-
tinue to ship vital supplies to the
Allied Nations, and receive sup
plies from them for It's own
armed forces abroad.
Support of the New Deal, how
ever, Is another story.
The new Congress came to
Washington with blood in its
eye. The November elections
had reseulted in large increases
In the Republican membership.
These COP successes were due to
a growing dislike of the domestic
policies of the New Deal admin
istration, and to resentment at
the administration price control,
rationing and the like.
Lived Up to Promise.
The promise was made, how
ever, to give the President the
fullest support for the actual
conduct of the war. That promise
has been lived up to. At the
same time, the Congress has
shown an independence which
was lacking during the first 10
years of the Roosevelt admin
istration-except on rare occas-
ions, as for example, when the
President proposed to enlarge
the membership of the Supreme
Court so as to insure New Deal
opinions from that tribunal.
Now that Congress is looking
forward to a brief respite over
the Easter week end, its accom-
plishments may be surveyed
briefly. The House has passed
and sent to the Senate seven ma
jor appropriation bills. The Sen
ate has passed them, too, and
two have become laws. The 9TH
ers are in the conference stage.
The Congress, in these appro-
priation bills, has struck at some
Of the strictly New Deal civil
agencies, denying several Of them
funds and pruning the appropria-
tions for others.
The act extending the life of
Lease-Lend went through both
houses with almost no opposition.
This marked great change
from the original passage of the
act, when this country was not
at war and when it was argued
that the plan might lead us into
the conflict.
Voided Dollar Power.
In the measure increasing the
debt limit, however, the Congress
struck at the President, charging
him with exerting powers under
the Price Sterilization Act of
October, 1912, which Congress
had not intended to give him.
1t tied on to the debt-limit bill
rider voiding the Presidents
executive order limiting all SAL
aries to $4,000 a year. The ad-
ministration tried in every pos
sible way to defeat this blow at
the President, but failed. The
President permitted the bill to
become law without his sig
nature. He issued a statement
denouncing Congress for placing
the salary limitation rider on the
debt-limit bill, which did not
make for better feeling between
the Congress and the White
House.
The Senate fatty refused to
extend the Presidents power to
devalue the dollar. although y

ton fund. Secretary Morgen-

This Changing World
HtIer's Talks With MussoIini, BoIkon Rulers
Believed Mapping Peace Offers for Soviets

in any kind Of agreement which
Hitler is anxious to reach with
Russia, he will have to follow the
example Of his father, King
Ferdinand, who lost his throne
at the end Of the last war. And
so, he personally Is said to be
somewhat lukewarm toward a
peace offensive before summer.
Prime Minister Kallay is a
Nazi puppet. Therefore his views
expressed to Mussolini are dis
regarded in Berlin. He has no
following in Hungary while the
regent, the somewhat senile but
still tough Admiral Horthy, en-
joys a great popularity among
his countrymen.
Horthy is a bitter anti-Com-
munist and an equally strong op-
ponent Of the Moscow regime.
Hungary had short-lived but
unpleasant experience with the
Communist under Bella Kuhn
in 1920 and the memory of those
fateful days Is still strong among
the Hungarian upper and upper
middle classes, which are the
mainstays Of Horthy's regime.
Lean Towards Communism.
Moreover, there is an increas-
ing leaning toward commun-
ism among the lower classes in
Hungary, even among the. very
religious peasants. Horthy is
said to be afraid that a peace be-
tween the Axis and Russia in
which the Axis would come out
only second best might increase
the prestige Of Russia to such
point that the entire present
semi-feudal regime in Hungary
will collapse.
Horthy, while aware of the
difficulties in which his kingdom
finds itself and Of the war weari-
ness Of the Hungarian people be-
cause of heavy losses the Hungar-
ian Army suffered in the 1912
campaign on the eastern front, is
likely to object to a peace offer
to Moscow in which too heavy
concessions are made to Stain.
Hitler not only is the dictator
of the Reich but also is the dicta-
tor of all the satellite countries. 1t
is doubtful whether the voices of
the rulers of the Axis-affiliated
nations will make much differ
ence to him. But he is said to
have felt bound to consult them
before starting new peace offen-
sive in order to iron out COM
pensations" for his sidekicks to
be taken, Of course, from those
states In Southeastern Europe,
which belong to the United Ma
tions group.
Confirms Impressions.
While coming from usually ren-
able sources, these reports are
considered here as speculative.
The neutrals in Rome or Berlin
generally obtain information,
which the Nazis want to give to
the outside world.
Reports from Bucharest, Sofia,
and Budapest are generally
better, because there are so
many anti-Nazis within the
governments at these capitals
that they are willing to spill
the beans" when 1t suits their
particular purpose.

MRS. NELL TO HAVE DUTIES AT
 INFERIOR POST

Mrs. K. M. Neill, advisory nurse for the Territorial Department of Health since the passage of the Federal Social Security Act in 1886 under which the department has since operated, returned to Fairbanks last Saturday by plane. There she will be permanently sta- toned as itinerant nurse for the Interior.
 In Juneau she spent several weeks orienting new nurses and discussing and explaining nursing policies While here she rendered her resignation. which Dr. w. w. Council, Commissioner of Health, requested she withdraw, feeling her work is too valuable to the Terri tory to lose at the present time Mrs. Neill reluctantly agreed to carry on until her position could be filled, for which decision Dr. Council expressed his qualification saying: With the increased nurs- ing staff in the Interior, which re- quires more supervision than that here, Mrs Neill will work out of the Fairbanks and Anchorage of fices.

 Seven Years Duty
 Having been with the depart ment for seven years and having dealt with all of the officials in the places in the Territory where pub lie health work is conducted, her knowledge of the background and local conditions is extremely val uable," he said.
 Mrs. Neill will of course return to Juneau whenever administrative problems necessitate it.
 For some time efforts have been made to find competent and ex- perienced nursing executive, Dr. Council reports, and several per- sons have been considered and have themselves considered the position of directing the nursing program for the Health Department. These efforts will continue, it is announced but with the freezing of public health personnel in the States we recog- nize that the problem is extremely difficult"

ages.
 Washington repeatedly has re ceived stories about factories Tn which blind persons have become adept touch inspectors; in which deaf persons, unperturbed by the noises of heavy industry, have proved highly efficient in operating various machine tools, stampers and welders; and in which the arrnless and legless have done everything from handling precision instru- ments to driving trucks, tractors and cranes. Even, partial invalids, whose efficiency plays out at the end of four or five hours, have been worked into short shifts. The only thing that has been done about it so far is the intro duction of joint resolution, spon- sored by Senator James J. Davis, Pennsylvania's "Puddler Jim," to make the 1,50O United States Elm ployment Service offices recruiting stations for physically handicapped persons.
 Senator Davis, who is not phy- sically handicapped, but who start ! ed life here as Welsh immi grant lad, rose to be Secretary of Labor, and long has been cham pion of the underprivileged. The law he wants enacted would establish division for the pfysi- cally handicapped in every U. s. Employment Service office. These would be headed, where possible, by some person who is handicapped. Without regard to the civil service laws, these divisions would be au- thorized to employ, fix the compen- sation of, and otherwise see to the employment of such persons. They would work, of course, with state and local organizations already op- erating.
 National headquarters of the di- | VlSlOn WOuld make reports every three months to Congress to show what progress is being made. The federation and several other organizations are, of course, thump- ing the drum pretty hard to see that the bill goes through. In view of manpower problems, it is diff cult to understand what objections there would be to fiat least, for the duration.
 However, for some strange. req son, there has been a lot of buck passing here on federal handling of the problem While some states and smaller organizations have been very active, the federation's figure that only 92,000 have been placed is evidence that little has been accomplished.
