L I M I T 2 TO A Washington, August 11--With the wage and hour measure ready for the final stages of enactment the attention of politicians, industrial and labor leaders is turned to the identity of the five members of the Labor Standards Board, which will have much to say' about extension of Federal control over business. The debate in the Senate brought out a claim by noted Democratic Senators that this new Board has "greater power over the economic life of the Nation than the power ex-; ercised by five European monarchs over the affairs of their peoples," '*It is small wonder that lawmakers are I keeping a weather-eye on the White I House these days to ascertain the , names of candidates now under con- I sideration. However, their interest in [the Board members is not. entirely altxustie as this new agency is without A gentleman, staying in a provincial town, put up at the beat hotel. While dressing in the morning, he wished to summon the chambermaid. But the only bell he could find in the whole place was one in the bathroom attached to his bedroom. He rang several times without result, and finally gave it up in despair. Later on, after dressing, he met the chambermaid on the stairs and reproached her for not having1 answered the bell. "Which bell did you ring, sir?" she asked. "The bathroom bell," he replied. '•Lor*, sir," came her answer, "you shouldn't have used that. That bell's only to be used in case, you failor drown in the. bath."--Answers Magazine. ' Yaah! ' -- Along a country road came a $7,000 limousine. As it caught up with the small car, the owner of the "big car could not resist the temptation to slow down and jolly the other driver a bit. - "Heavens, man," he said, "what; is it about your car that makes such a dreadful rattling sound?" the $6,500 jinnal. ,ONf OF THE GIRLlS "Did you see the lady senator?

While Congressional jeliques, have been criticizing the enorritous powerg given thi6 Board, the legislators are not free from blame for this condition. If the fi$e hien selected *fey the President go haywire in the course of interpreting the new" statute, Congress itself may be rightfully censured for evading responsibility in circumscribing the scope of the Board's powers by clear definitions and limitations. Instead they choose to adopt the easiest way by which judicial decisions of administrative'boards are really the equivalent of supplementary legislation. In other words, Congress ducks these issues by permitting a newly created agency to interpret the law with the full knowledge that these concepts may differ widely from legislative intent. It may be admitted that the solons I have dumped a (ch6re on the Board | which calls for talents bordering on | omniscience. They have so much power and so many pressing problems that something more than super-human efforts will be needed to chart their early course. Employers in cities and remote hamlets are on their tip-toes as they ponder what the Labor Standards Board will do to their working conditions by boosting hourly wage rates and reducing the work week to a minimum of 40 hours. The contention of Senator Byrnes of South Carolina in opposing the measure had a disturbing effect. This Democratic leader alleged that "in the bill itself it is declared textually that the Board shall not observe or be bound by technical rules of evidence or procedure." The Carolinian provoked uneasihess when he asserted that the Board is charged with one objective--to enforce collective bargaining "with the power of life and death over industry" backed by a law, he ^ays, to make arbitrary raids to which the employers have no appeal. The opinion prevails that the White House will be obliged to place one or more Southerners on the Board to keep a semblance of peace in the President's party and to allay deep suspicions of Secretary of Labor Perkins' ideas of making the Board an adjunct of trade unions. The current controversy over adjournment and a special session, of Congress in the fall illustrates the return of the notorious bloc system in legislative affairs. The agicultural bloc which was in full bloonMw)21 has apparently been revive^HBFim* ited basis. This time the m^^Lent is centered on cotton and a government loan policy. This clique want a Federal guaranty for cotton at 12 cents a pound as a special subsidy. The fear is felt that it would only be a question of time before other commodities would be found on a preferential list at the taxpayers expense. The Senate Agricultural Committee which is dominatd by Senators from cottonproducing states have stood out against the President's general farm legislation as unnecessary. Oddly enough, these solons show no sign of retreating under threats of special sessions. An extra meeting is not welcomed because the lawmakers would be obliged to pay their own railroad fare as the 20 cents per mile allowance is for regular sessions and is riow exhausted. The farm lobbies are split on vital issues and legislators do not know which way to turn. It would be foolhardy to assume that the drubbing given the President's court reform plan means the end of the controversy. On the contrary evidence is cropping out that the resentanent within • the Administration is deep and abiding. Hence, the precampaign activities of the Democratic National Committee and the Senatorial and House Democratic Committees are closely scrutinized by rebel Senators of the same party for signs of "dirty work at the cross-roads."
