Need 70 Draw Capitol,
White House Closer
Cited in Byrnes Article
Ry the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-A "congres-
sional cabinet, to meet with the
President, thereby promoting a
closer relationship between the
White House and Capitol Hill, "
is Lroposed by James F. Byrnes,
director of war mobilization and
reconverSion, in the current Amer
ican Magazine.
Mr.. Byrnes offers several recon-
mendations as his contribution ITO
the undertaking by a joint COM
mittee of Senators and Representa-
tives to streamline Congress. Mr..
Byrnes makes it clear that he is
writing, not as public official, but
as citizen, based on his Is years
experience in the House and Senate.
Cat Washington, Mr.. BWnes'
Office said the article was written
last fall at a time when he was
determined to return to private
life. Since that time, President
Roosevelt has prevailed on him
to stay in office, and his aides
said he Cancelled other maga-
zine articles he had planned)
Need for Experts Seen.
Mr.. Byrnes agrees that the COM
mittee headed by Senator Maloney
Democrat, of Connecticut should
recommend reduction of the number
of congressional committees and
that there should be experts to ad-
wise the committees on legislation.
He goes on to say:
"Chairmen of committees should
constitute congressional cabinet.
'@* This would permit an ALLEGATION
and concentration of responsibility
which would bring out existing quail
tiles of leadership in both houses,
and promote both a stronger and
closer relationship with the White
House
"a permanent staff of trained
career men should be built up to aid
and advise the committees on legis-
lation.
"An improved procedure should
be devised for handling and check
ing on appropriations of funds.
And finally, for the better in
formation of the legislators, men,
bers of the cabinet should be au-
thorized to appear upon the floor
of Congress on invitation to answer
questions.
Salary Raises Proposed.
Mr.. Byrnes suggests that appro-
priations for the staff of a Senator
or Representative should permit
each to employ one person at
salary of at least $4,000 to look

More Love, Brother
AT Cain Park

'"More Love, Brother" at Cain
Park next week-Aug. 7 thru
II, will prove a revelation to
Clevelanders as it's history pages
are turned back to disclose the
densely populated community
Of Shaker Heights as the pros
porous and rigidly governed
farm lands Of the Shakers.
This religious group gained its
title by the vigorous dancing
which was part of their tradi-
tional ceremony and was sup
posed to shake out sins. Their
lives were woven around their
singing and dancing. There were
special songs for housework
among the women and others
for the farmers in the fields. All
personal property became the
property Of the group upon
adopting the faith and the word
of the elders was law. Most of
them were just good leaders.
Their farm lands were we'll
managed. The small but grow
ing city of Cleveland admitted
the Shakers raised the best cat
tie, had the finest orchards and
best produce of any one. In fact
many converts were made be-
cause citizens were eager to
share in their comfortable liv-
ing, in spite of the restrictions of
their religion.
Absolute celibacy was OBJ
served and romantic love was a
sin. The elders expected to per-
petuate their sect or religion
down through the years by new
converts instead of by offspring.
Anyone breaking their laws-or
committing the sin of falling in
love was Immediately driven
from the community or-as they
said-out into the world.

these appeals. A Women's Divi-
sion has been organized with a
sponsoring committee of 225 ma
tionally prominent women, and
a Medical Division composed Of
215 doctors.
Local Committees have been
formed in Los Angeles, Chicago,
Cleevland, Detroit, Pittsburgh
and the various boroughs of
New York. u
