Inti- ; mates of the Chief Executive say he "has found that the lot of the peace- ; maker is anything but blessed and i decidedly thorny. ^Consequently, he : wants a sprcalled "independent agency" to handle disputes between employers and organized employees. The collision of ideas comes when legislators remind the executive branch of the government that it has been almost insatiable in demands for power and labor controversies should not be excepted. The private surveys show neither the Senate or House wants the Wagner Labor disputes bill vote forced at' this session. The President is similarly embarrassed for it would not be good politics to ..openly demand iM enactment. He works by indirecti^a to avoid blame. '""The Wa£n<?r labor bill is the keylag in the pipesent legislative jam. If it is amended to prevent coercion by employee organizations .against /other workers' organizations, the trade unions will not support the measure. They frankly admit they want jTclub to, help organize n0i>union shops and the Wagner bill provides this weapon.

His, pursuit of this golden apple may do more to pass this highly controversial bill than all other influences, a situation Mr. Roosevelt plays to full advantage. ^ " r Congressional leaders find themselves in an awkward situation in their endeavors to call a halt to the epidemic of filibusters. These nteth* ods of .obstructing parliamentary procedure are simple but effective because "one man can tie up the Senate. Filibustering is nothing more thani an instrument of delay jn-ffvided->n 'talking oh any and -all subjects to the exclusion of pending k»gi slat son. This device to avoid a vote on a proposal before the Senate or House is centuries old and just "as effective today as- wheit first; introduced jri. parMa* mentary procedure.' ^ filibuster may be shut off in the House, but it is difficult to gag a Senator under the .broad rules of Senate procedure. During the last few days Sentftors bent on blocking measures, Which the Democratic majority want passed, have staved off action by reading extensive quotations from current books and articles while the leaders stood helplessly on the side lines. President Roosevelt was told that several of his pet measures would be talked- to death, and, as a consequence, he revamped the administration's legislative program to suit the occasion. At the outset of this sessioft of Congress there was considerable bragging that whatever the White Houe wanted could be pushed through owing to the numerical strength of the Democrats in Congress. However, history of recent J^gislation 'shows that the White House~influence is not as weighty as claimed. The President has shown himself vulnerable, particularly when the Senate, and House deliberately overrode his veto on the veterans' adjusted compensation and increased pay for federal employees. The farm groups also ' .overcame.

Thesjs men will not risk their lives on any bnt Firestone Tires, because they know the high stretch cords in every Firestone Tire are protected by the Firestone patented proceM of Gum-Dipping. Gum-Dipping soaks the high stretch cords in liquid rubber and saturates and 4fioats the millions of fibers inside the cords^ counteracting destructive friction and heat. It 1 provides greater adhesion between •}ie plies of the tire, and between the Cum-Dipped card body and the tread. * Firestone chemists and engineers kept pace with new car developments by building •tronger, safer tires Jo meet the exacting ^ demands.
