" -- B y -- ' National Editorial Association SLOCUM'S LAKE Washington, February 20 - So busy giving full vent to its investigative mania, the Congress has devoted little time to business matters that would normally claim attention.. A flock of committees indulge themselves freely with probes many of which are futile and unnecessary for the public weal. It- is doubtful whether the ruthless quiz of private business or public hearings on proposed legislation win sharpen the pre-conceived judgments of committee probers. Rieams of testimony have been taken dlurU;^ the last six weeks at a heavy cost to the taxpayers. One committee chairman succintly stated to the writer this xveek, 'We havfe taken 17(K) typewritten pages of words by witness, little if any of which will be read by my Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Esping were callers at Crystal Lake Saturday.

Smith, Prop. Johnsburg ed "Liberals" are supporting pending measures which would empower the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to seizp all books and drastically restrict processors of foodstuffs by means of licenses. Senator Nye, Republican progressive from North Dakota, joined Hby Senator MeCarraii, an insurgent Democrat from Nevada wants another quiz into the NRA. With these and other probes under way, President Roosevelt finds himself beset by Senate and House leaders asking his intervention as a mean^ of checking these Congressional "high jinks" now threatening to undermine recovery plans of the New Deal. A high Administration spokseman has said that the only thing lacking to complete the picture is a powerful committee of taxpayers to "investigate Congressional investigators". Despite the best efforts of the Administration to avoid a revision of tax laws, current opinion is to the effect that new tax legislation is inevi table. They anticipate definite action in March or April when pending plans for |enormous Federal Expenditures show the need for additional revenue to finance the government's participation in relief activities. Another step on the road to regulation is forecast in the hearings befonj^a House committee on the subject ofpublic utility holding companies. The social security legislation as drafted by a Presidential commission will probably be materially changed by the Senate Finance Committee. The. Congress will undoubtedly pass tl>is law within a few weeks, but months and years may elapse before state legislatures follow through with the necessary adjustment of state laws to make the plan workable. The Senate Finance Committee has devoted twenty days to public hearings. Questions by Senators indicated their concern over the practical aspects of the Administration's plan, especially the unemployment feature. The Congress has apparently given up the sponge so far as its fight to control the outlay of public funds on construction and other relief activities as advocated by the White House is concerned. Conscious of the administrative difficulties involved, the legislators are recluctantly backing down from their militant policy and frankly say, "Let Roosevelt do it but let him hold the bag". They are willing to try any remedy, especially if prescribed by the President for breaking the vicious circle of depression to the benefit of everyone. The average lawmaker is primarily interested in the selecting of projects. He entertains the hope that sofne of the many billions authorized will be spent in his district--to rebound to his political benefit. If in the end they tie the President's spending hand it is an easy bet there is a slip-knot within reach for those friendly to the New Dealers. The hearings on a bill to regulate the bituminous coal industry which opened this week before a Senate committee will achieve nothing more than providing union mine workers with a sounding board for the grievances agaihst the government and employers. The President publicly* stated that he was satisfied with the (effectiveness of coal code regulation. The miners' cheiftain and high orator Lewis, insisted that the Senate go through the motions -- and the Senators obliged. Incidentally, this measjure was introduced by Pennsylvania's !new Democratic Senator -- Guffey, ; and affords him a chance to make the | headlines on behalf of labpr groups. I The White House is not deceived by | the special attention showered on unlion leaders by the Senators at this | time when the rift between the Presijdent and labor leaders is spreading rapidly. It is the Senate's way of (slapping the Chief Executive cm the wrist. Your Motor Will Be Tour Car Will Start hi twmtil arMA with Tailor-Made SHELLY AROMAXAK-27 PROTECTED BT U. S.
