With the Senate and House conducting separate hearings oh the same subject, there is bound to be confusion which will leave the public dazed as to the true situation. The motives which inspired this unusual double-barreled probe of the Administration lobby and the methods of private opposition to regulation of public utijitifes are varied. Politicians are in complete agreement, however, that out of the welter of charges and counter-charges of lobbying will come a clear-cut Presidential, campaign issue for 1&9& An unbiassed observer of the present series of investigations would be required to report an atmosphere charged with doubt and suspicion. Cagey Republican leaders whispev among their cohorts that the President should have been permitted to put across the •iQtroversial "death sentence" or compulsory dissolution of holding companies in the power field. Then,they argue, the minority party could have gone to the country with a direct appeal to the millions of investors in utility stocks and bonds. The tactics adopted by a Democratic House of Representatives in running counter to the White House orders in this matter has effectively minimized partisanship.

Another explanation is the increasing conviction that Mr. Roosevelt is slipping witn the masses of voters which gave the boys on Capitol Hill a splendid cue to throw off the shackles of domination. Whatever prompted the cutting of the Gordian knot, it is a foregone conclusion about town that the President will be obliged to curb the fairhaired young lawyers and economists hereafter in writing new legislation. While the Senate and House conference committees are busily engaged ia threshing out differences in the two utility bills, another electric power controversy has gripped the House. The Tennessee Valley Authority, operating huge power projects in the South, is demanding more money and broader powers from the legislative branch. Announcement that the President wanted action on the Bankhead bill to authorize loans to tenant farmers and share-croppers provokes speculation as to the implications of this latest move. It is asserted in some Quarters that this legislation would allow the thousands of this class to purchase land and homes on government credit with almost a life-time ti pay it back. It has the ear-marks of a sapping operation against Hues Long s Utopian schemes which attracted so many share-croppers and other 6f this farm group to his banners; • ' Mr,, and Mrs. C. M. McDermott and childten of Chicago called on friends here Saturday evening enroute to their home after a vacation spent with relatives in Arkansas and Ohio Hearings before the House Committee on Ways and Means this week showed the intention of organized minorities to force general tax revision at this time. Proponents of the Roosevelt "soak-the-rich" plan are obviously more optimistic than sincere in their claims that a new tax bill be ready for a vote in the House within ten days. Attempts to confine witnesses to a discussion of the three-point revenue plan pro)>osed by the White House are futile. It is known that certain groups of processors and probably farmers will endeavor to sell the Congress on changes in tariff laws on the theory it is essentially a matter of revenue which foreshadows a protracted debate. Many members of the House seeking re-election naturally shy away from suggestions for a general revision of taxes at this time especially if proposed changes will call for higher rates on moderate and smaller incomes. A program of this sort is loaded with political dynamite. The pressure for early adjournment i? intensified as candidates become panicky over the voters reaction to taxes.
