Unlike mischievous school boys who play while the monitor or teacher is away, the national legislature has astounded critics and buckled down to work. The Democratic, leaders on Capitol Hill have been "obliged to show more iniative as distance alone prevents them from running to the Chief Executive for help in a crisis. The President has listed a number of legislative projects that must be passed before adjournment. This is no mean chore and the threat of a summer season in this climate is effectually breaking the lethargy whiclj heretofore marked their antics. t It, would be, foolhardy to assume that • the people's legislative affairs are running at even keel. There isr for instance," a dispute among Senate leaders as to the program. Some spokesmen believe it advisable to get the new bill re-vamping the National Industrial Recovery Act through 'before the troublesome bonus issue is foisted to the front. The Administration is inclined to favor precedence for the NRA matter because the uncertainty about the Blue Eagle is expected to delay business recovery. Onee this controversy is out of th« way then it will be a simple stunt to juggle the politically important bonus. The Senate may pass this bill but a Presidential veto will probably find support in this sector. The House is admittedly stampeded by the organized veterans lobbies and will turn a deaf ear to Mr. Roosevelt's appeal to sustain a veto. The final recommendations of the Admifiistration^s to the NRA will be available this week. The hours of labor and the collective baitgainng secton are the real stumblng blocks. Before these items are included it is necessary to work out deals behind the scenes for pending labor., hills must be considered. Privately circulated Administration drafts show that the Blue Eagle agency will drop all price-fixing features, increase the President's power to impose limited codes on industries who cannot manage themselves in accordance with government specifications and finally c*mpromJise with labor groups fol better representation in code affairs, Speed,, is necessary as the NRA com* pliance enforcement in the field is now impotent and costly. The failure of the Department of Justice to make a 'test case out of the Belcher code violation in which codes were willfully disregarded has lessened industry's respect for NRA as a power in business affairs. By side-stepping the Belcher case the Administration avoided a show-down on the constitutionality of the NRA before the Stt' preme Court until the fall session. Government relief officials here and in the field are besieged by legisla^ tors seeking huge appropriations for their bailwicks and (all before the work relief bill reaches the President for signature. Authorization for the largest peace-time expenditure in history keeps the solons on the anxious bench as demands pile up from their districts. • In fact, it is no secret that many incumbents really cherish the belief that the spending of a portion of this five billion fund will serve as a campaign vehicle for their re-election. It is the time-worn story of "taking care of the boys back home" meaning, of course, those henchmen and camp followers seeking favors in strength. Probably the most harassed man in the country today is the sharp-tongued, Harry Hopkins,- who will serve as actual administrator of this money chest. Hopkins is hard boiled in his dealings with "porkbarrel" law-makers and unpopular because he is not always politicallyminded. Government investigators Recruited from the Federal Emiergency Relief Administration in cooperation with Labor Department researchers have started a study of living costs in 59 cities. The data will be used plan relief requirements. The inquiry is likely to upset the applecarts of many local politicians who have d/?man<fcd relief money from Washington on rough estimates of funds required to support needy families. The government standard calls for information showing the annual requirement of two adults and two children, considered the average American family. The Federal relief authorities are determined to tighten their regulations in an effort to eliminate the thousands of chiselers now on relief roljs. Emyloyers are, complaining bitterly about the refusal of unemployed to accept well-paid "lob® involving some work. Unfortunately for the intentions o£^onest rejief administrators political pressure thwarts the best laid plans.
