. ?•>*- German Ambassador to U. 3. m Washington Washington, June 16--Violence of labor strikes in various sections of the country, which have local law enforcement authorities at their wit's end, provokes uneasiness in Congressional and Administration circles. The politicians are worried at the rising tide of public resentment as embattled strikers make their influence felt in the everyday life of a citizen by shutting down power lines and transportation systems, threatening the supply of Necessities. The tide has not reached sufficient proportions to scare the lawmakers into amending their latest batch of laws to the extent; of imposing legal responsibilities on union CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS By Congressman Chauncey W. Reed "The Retreat Ti"om Moscow^*: Administration leaders in the Senate are making desperate efforts to effect some sort of a compromise- oh the President's Supreme Court enlargement proposal. Without doubt the sixman increase to the Court proposed by the President will be thoroughly beaten if brought up on the floor of the. Senate.f For this reason, heroic efforts are being made?by the Administration's stalwarts to "save the President's face." To us it appears that the Chief Executive exceeded the bounds of propriety when he attacked our Supreme Judicial Tribunal. "We ftrnily believe that despite reports to the contrary a great majority of the American people realize that an independent judiciary is the best safeguard of their, freedom.

Senator Norris charged that enemies of the legislation were behind the move in order that the legislation might be defeated. Senator Copeland resented the implication and stated that he was acting on the unanimous mandate of the Commerce Committee. The Senator from New York denied any connection with the power companies.

COME IN AND BUT TOURS TODAT . -irr^r Committees of Congress - will require several sessions behind closed doors to put the finishing touches on the latest adventure in social legislation. Oddly enough, partisan lines are forgotten but sectional wage scales are dominant factors. It is in the winter books that the next ordeal ahead for business is an Administration bill for control of prices. .and .profits. The theory is that living costs will advance so far during the intervening months that Congress will be under pressure to "do something." The idea broached in private talks is the enactment of a Federal licensing bill giving the central government authority to lay heavy hands on all forms of business. It is reported that many features of the Wallace agricultural program now before the Senate and House will be scrapped until next winter. The st^ry is current that the farmers are so busy with their normal affairs that they have given little or no support to plans of the bright young men for "more benefits and more control of crops from Washington." Back of all the hemming and haw ing on re-psganization of government departments \is a fundamental line of cleavage (betwfeeQ^two political philosophies, such as raked the country decades ago. The old issue of centralized power and decentralization has cropped out in the contest between President Roosevelt and Senator Byrd of Virginia, two Democrats. Two rival plans for revision of government jigencieS are floating around the Capital. but the conflict over principle may delay Congressional action until the next session. It seems that Mr. Roosevelt had a special commission which recommended vesting greater power in the Chief Executive and having post-audit of expenditures by abolishing the office of Comptroller-General Senator Byrd and his committee felt that another study was necessary and authorized the famous Brookings Institute to make a sOrvey for the leg islature. The .^result was a series of recommendations designed to promote both economy and efficiency by consolidation of bureau activities, whereas the President's handpicked group admitted that their plan called for more efficiency than savings. Another sore spot was the Byrd advocacy of preaudit as a means to check extravagance in government expenditures. Hence, we find Report Number Ten of the Brooking's investigators to the Byrd Select Committee raising plenty of political dust. Admitting that the arguments of the President's own commission for centralizing sub-legislative power in the White House had some merit, the Senate agents contend there are "even stronger arguments against such centralization." They openly question the right of Congress ^ delegate such wide power to the President and insist that the Chief Executive "is subject to almost no juridical control nor can Jhe be made financially responsible for his executive acts, while the independent board and commission are subjected to a strict control by the courts." The Strategy of Mr. Roosevelt is apparently to sell only a portion of his consolidation idea at this session on the theory that once the camel's nose is under the tent the next Congress will soon welcome the whole animal and forget Senator Byrd's defense of decentralized authority. Only the Supreme Court reform bill kept this issue seething beneath the surface. Job-seekers are anxiously awaiting the new fiscal year beginning July 1. The appropriations for new activities will become available• on that date, which accounts for the present scramble for patronage. The politieos are haunting the offices of Postmaster General Farley, chief dispenser at the pie-counter, in hopes of placing the names of their favored constituents on the eligible list for these bounties. The solons are under heavy pressure to rescue their favorites from the axe as agencies reduce their personnel when current appropriations expire June 30--the end of tb« fiscal year of ml- Otvw port which recommended •: that Congress authorize the completion of the canal contends that the benefits of the canal would accrue to a larger portion of Various bills now pending to amend the existing taw dealing with taxation, especially with reference to modification of taxee on undistributed corpora of the couhtry and its population than ate earnings.

Six Republicans and!en session on the yainous tax bills three Democrats on the Committee ob- which have been introduced, to amend ject to the proposal and filed a minor- the graduated tax and undivided proity report. The Republicans contend fits. It is expected that the investithat the nation's financial status at gation will commence in about two the present tinie would not warrant weeks, and that its cost will be bethe large expenditure necessary for the canal's completion, while the dissenting Democrats contend that there was no justification for undertaking completion of the work. It appears to us that an appropriation for completion of the project would be throwing good money after bad. Increased Freight Ratea: A number of industrial and traffic organizations are very much^. wrought up over the proposal to increase freight rates and it is estimated that more than 200 briefs in opposition' t6 the increase will be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission before final hearings are held. It is estimated that the increase would yield 75 million dollars annually to the carriers.
