OUT OF THE TRACES
“Congress just now is thrilled with what senators and
representatives are beginning to call their ‘parlor revolution,’ ’
say* the United States News. “Reference is to the experiment
in kicking over party traces, indulged by members of each
House for the first time in four years.’!
"Whether this unlooked-for example of independence on
the part of the legislative branch will become a full-fledged
revolt against dominance of the Executive, remains to be
seen. However, the seeds of dissent have been sown, and it is
no longer strictly accurate to say that the President can get
whatever he wants, with hardly a ripple of Opposition from
a supine Congress. Mr. Roosevelt may still get what he wants
in every particular—his influence and prestige may still be
strong enough to make congressmen swallow bills they heart-
ily dislike—but he is not going to get it without a real battle.
And that fact alone, whateyer the outcome of pending “must”
legislation will be, marks a far cry from what the country
has been witnessing the last four years.
The President stirred up a hornet’s nest when he intro-
duced his Judicial reorganization proposal. Senators whose
faith in the New Deal was considered unquestioned, have
taken the lead in aggressively battling this bill, which is un-
questionably the most important one yet sponsored by the
Administration. Senator Wheeler is the prime example of this
—no conservative has used stronger words or showed qiore
determination in opposing what he regards as packing of the
Supreme court with Executive—controlled Justices.
AS matters now stand, half a dozen or more .Democratic
senators have recently announced that they will vote against
the bill. Administration majority is unquestionably less than
live in the Senate—and that is a remarkable thing in the
Ugbt of the fact that any and all Roosevelt-backed bills Used
to go ttifough with an anvil chorus of “ayes” and the merest
scattering of ineffectual Republican “nays.” . r . ^
?he judicial proposal is not alone in stirring up opposi-
tion. The President** spending policy is in grave danger—that
is, Congress is nowhere near as willing as it used to be to
give him a blank check. His farm tenancy bill, which cost a
Vast, unpredictable sum to carry through to a successful con-
clusion, couldn’t win approval from the House agricultural
committee. More Important, when the President asked for
11.500.000,000 for relief, to be spent at his discretion, for the
cording fiscal year, he ran into the direct opposition pf some
of tits beet senatorial friends. Senator Byrnes, always regard-
ed as a 100 per cent Administration man, is fighting for a ten
per cent cut in all expenditures, and other senators 'are
known to be figuring on cutting the relief budget to a billion
—all of which means, as the Washington observers have been
announcing with convincing regularity and unanimity
lately, that Congress is getting “economy minded.” The size
of the national debt is beginning to frighten and worry many
a congressman who voted in the past for maximum appro-
priations—and other congressmen can see no reason . why
emergency spending should be continued In a period when
business is rapidly expanding, is practically back to “normal”
levels in most lines, and is obviously encountering an actual
“boom” in other lines.
Congress' new attitude of independence may be a tempt-
est In a teapot so far—but most unprejudiced commentators
feel that, like the proverbial rolling snowball, it will grow.
Ho one expects that Congress will adopt a consistently anti-
executive attitude—which did so much to ruin Wilson and
Hoover politically—but they do think that the period when
the President ran the whole show is coming slowly to an end.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—This Is

When President Roosevelt got
back to Washington, after his

he called certain Democratic
leaders into conference with him
at the White House. •

CUT GOVERNMENT COSTS NOW
It Is reported that Congress—after several sessions in
which is appropriated and spent, almost as a matter of rou-
tine and with little debate, unprecedented sums of money
and permitted the national debt to exceed the $35,000,000,000
m*rk—is sriotisly considering the proposal to reduce all ap-
propriations by 10 per cent.
Vice-President Garner is said to be one of the leading
spirits behind the movement. If he and his backers succeed,
they will do the nation a service of inestimable importance.
The 10 per cent cut in appropriations would save about
three quarters of a billion dollars. This saving woijjd permit
the budget to be balanced in 1838 and eliminate the fear ol
still more deficits, still more debt and still more inflation. It
would go a long way toward restoring lost confidence In our
fiscal policy. It would spur recovery and stable prosperity,
freeT from artificial, speculative booms, and hysterical reces-
sions.
To say that expenses cannot be cut by this small per-
centage, is absurd. Waste abounds in almost every branch of
government, from the printng office to the national defense
departments. Waste characterizes the building of public
works, the administration of relief, the conduct of a hundred
overlapping, over-manned bureaus.
There is a real movement afoot to cut costs and restore
our financial integrity—and it should be demanded by every
citizen.

A REBELLION?
These four are rumored to have

~A rebellion is sizzling against

Vice President Gamer is repre-

Bankhead doesn't like the piari,

! the lease with some misgiving,
realizing that he was committing
;! himself to a job of pioneering in a
highly competitive field where he
j fhad few friends. The office would
i j hot be available for another month,
j i and Sandy faced empty weeks of
I»boredom until Aug. 1. Hence it
j1 was a welcome relief when a casual
acquaintance, Mike Borst, made an
. astounding suggestion over a
whiskey and soda in one of Los
Angeles’ shining cocktail bars.
I “I’ve got to take a radio show
on a two weeks’ tour,” Borst com-
! plained. “Another bunch of
I squawking amateurs. The devil
l'of it is that I can’t afford to give
i up a job I’ve got over at KROX,

j my girls. Not bad lookers, either
—if they didn’t sound so awful,
j Another drink?"
Drowning his grievances in
’ j deliberate and painstaking manner,
{Borst suddenly banged his fist on
the bar. Hia eyes brightened and
he talked fast. “I’ve got it. Look,
why don’t you take over the radio
job for me for those two weeks?
You’ve "feot nothing to do, and
nothing to lose. Besides that, it’ll
help you get your bearings around
town and the practical experience
of announcing on the program
won’t hurt you. ’B a matter of
fact, I should charge you for the
training. It’s invaluable, man
Invaluable!”
Sandy was amazed that Borst
would entrust his job to a man he
had met but casually at, the Ad
club, but the crazy plan appealed
to him. Two weeks would pass
quickly, he’d reasoned, and ' he
mlgpt as well be working as
wasting the time until he could
take possession of his new office.
"I’ll do It,” he said suddenly, so
vociferously that Mike spilled half
his drink on his crimson tie.
“Good boy,” he mumbled and
slumped down, seeming suddenly
disinterested now that the trans-
action was complete. Sandy had
half expected him to forget the

bargain when he called at the radio
station the next day, but a cold
sober Borst greeted him gratefully
and began to outline his new
duties.
Sandy remembered the first time
he had entered the shining glass
cage to address the grinning, sput-
tering microphone. He’d felt rather
shamefaced to be aping the very
men he had termed “human noise
boxes”, and could not get the
knack of talking to an unseen
audience who might be cutting him
off in the middle of a word, for
all he knew. While he laughed
good naturedly when the office
staff teased him about the O’Day
letters, secretly he had been rather
pleased with this one tangible con-
tact with his radio world. “His
public,” he had called them half
jokingly, half pridefully.
Well, I’ve got a public now,”
he muttered miserably as he came
back to the present and remem-
bered the newsboys’ screaming
‘I’m as bad as the fellow who ran
the wrong way to a touchdown :
everybody will be expecting nje to
do things backwards all my life.
What a great start for a new busi-
ness !”
• Rounding a curve in the high-
way his headlights picked up a
directional sign that announced
“La Oresta—17 iniles”. La Oresta.
A flood of hurt feelings submerged
him, then his pentup anger burst
forth and pe determined to go to
La Oresta and meet face to faoe
the lady named Madden, whom he
Had known as the mythical Alicia
O'Day. There might be a certain
satisfaction in telling such a par-
son his honest opinion of her
thoughtless prank. But he had no
idea of the surprise that awaited
him under the peaceful palms.
Bandy arrived in the quaint Mll-
and-oceanside town of La Cresta,
and drew a reluctant breath of de-
light at the sheer beauty of it. A
silver moon illumined the sparkling
crescent Of the ocean, and tall
palms were silhouetted oil the cliff.
Only an occasional light glimmered
in the sleepy little town, and
Sandy drove into one of the neat
little auto camps for which the
coast is famous. No chance to
satisfy his quest of vengeance now,
he decided, and he threw himself
on the bed and slept the balance
of the night.
The day was one of radiant
brightness, with the sun high and
hot in the blue sky. Sandy walked
down the streets of La Cresta,
stopping frequently to inquire the
-way to the*”gfeaC Palm Point”
mentioned in the telegram. As he
lollowed directions and walked
easily up the gradual Incline to-
ward the point he marveled at the
spic and span settlement of mod-
ern beach houses. The architec-
ture was that queer combination
of Norman, French, Spanish adobe
and early American, so conven-
iently known as “Californian”. Th3
amazing thiqy was the perfection

houses.

fhr to the left of hitn, on the pekk”
