Republican Candidate for GOVERNOR public mind as having comi>letely abandoned fair play. The aurrent quiz would probably make more progress if it were not a lop-sided procedure by which critics of the present regime were singled out for grilling on the inquisition rack. Hopeful of postponing a .marked conflict with the< judiciary over authority to raid private papers, the committee reaches into the grab-bag for notorious pub-^ lie utility agents who are particularly vulnerable and excite little sympathy from the average citizen. Conservative Democratic chieftains are honestly concerned that these high-hande4 tactics will provide color for A1 Smith's charges of Soviet methods. While emphasis was placed on the floods which devasted industrial and residential areas in Eastern states little mention was made of the farms in the pathway of swollen streams. The distress of rural areas is not easily measured, as the ultimate effects of floods on soil fertility and erosion require months to evaluate. The disaster which swept the Eastern area will effect the allotment of Federal funds. The pre-flood assignments of money were scanty, but tragedy has changed the views of those holding the purse-strings. Engineers are replacing politicians in determining the necessity for practical relief meas- | ures. The House has been marking time I on legislative matters to give commit- ! tees time to amend bills. Few highly 1 controversial measures are emerging in their original shape. For instance, the Walsh-Healey bill to impose certain N.R.A. conditions on all businss firms selling commodities or services to the Federal government has been .snagged with chanerts on the House side. The bills dealing with ship subsidy seem hopelessly snarled as two government departments quarrel over jurisdictional questions, j What was, originally a legislative i measure de$igned to curb chain-store : systems to the benefit of the independent dealer bodes faii; to exercise a far-reaching effect on prices of other goods which reach consumers. There is a small but powerful group in Congress which delights in any "anti-business" movement. Coinci- ! dent with the drive against multiple stores comes a campaign to eliminate base prices which have become an important part of the industrial fabric. Confronted with potential threats of , laws which would revolutionize proven business practices, industrial spokesmen are not at all embarrassed by President Roosevelt's veiled criticism cf failure to put men and women on payrolls. Seasoned Democratic I campaigners have urged soft-pedaling these policies which keep employers and employees on the anxious bench. These political warriors are conscious of the need to break down a growing idea that most of the legislation enacted by Congress is futile and likely to be discarded by the courts. This attitude is probably cultivated by Administration critics, but it is reaching proportions regarded as menacing in a campaign year. H.
