ee PIN PSN mC 5 cae ROR ES LP ee eee ‘More Trouble direct result of the Page Six ~~ 3 , NEVADA CITY NUGGET , oe PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY —_—_—_— Washington.—Congress is showing every sign of wanting to be good boys and girts and play Now Ready balk with, President to Be Good osevelt. It ap: peared when congress decided to slup the President: inthe face by overriding his veto of the veterans’ compensation and government employees’ salary question, that at last there was a definite and farreaching breach. Many persons here thought the President had a recalcitrant bunch on his hands and that there would be plenty of trouble during ‘the.rest of the session. Such is mot the case, however, and, although there will be differences arising, the remainder of the session will’ show few : cases in which the wishes of the President will be absolutely disregarded. The reason for this sudden change is simple. An election campaign confronts all of the members of the house and 35 members of the senate. As the thing has been explained to’ me by mumerous representatives .and senators,. they were in a political situation where they felt they would rather slap the President than the veterans. The President can scold or spank them, it is explained, but the veterans have votes that are a good deal rougher than a spanking by the Chief Executive, from the standpoint of politics. Now that the potential candidates can go before the veterans of their respective districts and point with pride-or something to a vote to restore the compensation, the campaigning members feel they are sitting in a good seat. They are ready to be good, ‘ “I, am told that Democratic leader in the house and senate haye had innumerable visits since the vet vote from members of their party who wanted to assure the administration that they are “regular” again and will stay that way. Having obtained what they thought they had to have to insure their re-election, they will now vote according to direction once more. Then, when they start speech-making in their home bailiwick, they will talk loudly and long about supporting the President in one speech and in the next, if it be in a strongly organized veterans’ area, they will shout about theftr friendship for the former soldiers, sailors and marines. From which it ought to be apparent that the whole thing was just a part of the great game of politics. ae Ld e Democratic bolters could not have overridden the President by themselves, and that fact Just Playing gave the Republicans Politics an opportunity to play politics as well. The Republicans in the house and senate saw a chance to embarrass the President. They nudged the Democrats from every angle to override the veto and joined with the bolters on the vote just because it would put the Democratic leaders on a hot spot and would be offensive to the President. That is the way the game of politics is played. If one looks back over the records during the Coolidge and Hoover administrations, plenty of instances are shown where the Demoerats, then in the minority, joined the bolting Republicans and so-called progressives in votes that were embarrassing to the President. As a matter of fact, there still is some doubt in the minds of many observers here whether Mr. Roosevelt had sound reason for his veto. He charged that the bill, as passed before the veto, would add $228,000,000 to the regular budget of the government. That is true. But I cannot: help recalling -that there are two budgets, now. One of them is the regular budget and the other, many time larger, is for emergency expenditures. At least some of those Democrats, who broke with the President on the question, are asking why the government has to cut down on its regular sbudget while it expands and “throws money away like water” from the emergency budget. It does cause one to pause and think about it. In other words, the thought of those men is: why is it such a crime to spend about one-fourth of a_ billion dollars the way congressmen want to spend it when the administration is spending some five or six billions the way it wants to spend that tremendous sum. Further, I cannot help recalling that, when the economy act was passed during the extra session last spring, I reported to you that the curtailment of expenditurés for veterans and for several other purposes under the regular budget, was to be short-lived. I said at that time that it would be given back in pieces. Two acts of congress since have restored a total of 75 per cént of the amount taken away from the veterans, dnd the last act of congress restored one-third of 15 per cent pay cut to the government workers and will give them another one-third beginning July 1. 2s s ¢ There is trouble brewing for President Roosevelt in another political dieo rection; It. is: not a rewi: : overriding of his Br : = veto. That fact does appear to have accentuated the difti-" younger ' tral member. culties, however, according to most of my informants. The question that Is before the administration and leaders ‘of the Democratic: party is: what Is the attitude:to be toward the progresSives andother insurgents. It is known, of course, that there are members:of the house-and senate: elected as Democrats, who have no more right to call themselves Democrats than somes of the radical group of the ‘minority can claim to be Republicans. They are insurgents. There is no other proper label. They® have not, do not and will not stand hitched to any program for any great length of time. President Roosevelt and “Big Jim” Farley know full well that the Democrats must have the help of the socalled progressives and the radicals in some parts of the country. This is -especially true in the Middle West. But the administration cannot turn against the militant and fighting young Democrats who have fallen into line solidly behind Roosevelt and the New Deal. If it snubs them,. “it scorns the steps by which it did’ascend” and that is. never good polities,The group. ot Democrats take credit for the smashing victory of 1932 and Mr. Roosevelt. cannot ignore their clamoring for recognition, Like a ghostly shadow across the path, however, floats the forms and faces: of’ numerous powerful men who broke away from Hoover and supported the Roosevelt candidacy. The Roosevelt’ blessing already has been bestowed upon Senator Hiram Johnson, a Californian, who was elected as a Republican but who supported Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy. Senator Johnson is up for election this year. On the other hand, there is young Bob La Follette, of Wisconsin, Surely, he ‘was a liberal all the way. He supported Mr. Roosevelt as against Mr. Hoover. But Young Bob has had no such blessing from the administration. Indeed, “Big Jim” Farley has strongly intimated that he wants to see Wisconsin elect Charles Broughten, a regular Democrat. And so it goes. es ¢ @ When’ President Roosevelt announced settlement of the labor controversy between the Wolman Not automobile industry Real Neutral and the American » Federation of Labor, and proposed creation of a. board to adjudicate the questions, every one here thought naturally enough that he would select a representative of the industry and one of labor, with ‘the third man being neutral. The: natural conclusion was that the third member of the board would have no ties with either capital or labor. There was much surprise, therefore, when he named Dr. Leo Wolman, of Columbia university, New York, as the neuFrom what I can gather around Washington, the appointment of Doctor Wolman was a bit disappointing to those who wanted a real neutral to ‘sit as a member of the board. Frankly, the President did not meet legitimate expectations in the Wolman appointment, except, of course, among those who sympathized wholly with labor’s contention in the controversy. Doctor Wolman’s knowledge of labor questions cannot be denied. He has demonstrated his ability and his capacity to understand the problems, The objection that I hear, however, does not run to that phase of his ability. Doctor Wolman has been associated directly or indirectly with William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, for many years. However he may desire to be impartial, however basically honest he is, the thought in many places in Washington is that Doctor Wolman cannot be neutral as that word is accepted by the general public. He is human and he has sentiment. Those two factors make it appear to many observers that the settlement of the automobile-labor controversy amounts to nothing more than a postponement. It will flare up again, but probably will not take place until after the middle of June when the President will not have a law in effect that will permit him to license the industry. é ee @ The week’s best laugh: Federal Home Loan board regulations require that applicants for loans submit with their applications, first, a “close up” photograph of the property and; secend, a “street scene” that will show a little of adjoining property. These photographs havé the purpose and the value, of course, of providing a general knowledge of. where the money goes. But the headquarters office of the loan system was not quite prepared for two photographs which it received in connection with one application that came from a colored man in a little southern town. In complying with the. requirement that a “close up” photograph be submitted, the applicant overlooked the fact tliat it was of the property and sent in a picture of himself, a photograph that: disclosed the wrinkles and gray hair of his age as well as two exceptionally large eyes. For the street scene, the applicant had himself photographed in his best bib and tucker. namely, his lodge uniform. And he was riding a bicycle along the street. @ by Western Newspaner Vaton Last’ Word an Badal Vellerakt By CHERIE NICHOLAS . A’ TO lovely and chic bridal array for the late spring and the summer bride, fashion is positively lavish in offering suggestions which are entirely new and novel, Pretty as a wedding dress may he, it is, after all, the veiling of the bride, together with the various little accessory items of adornment, which make or mar the picture. The wealth of ideas offered in both veils and headdress and accompanying fantasies is positively thrilling this season. Time was when the bride-to-be bought yards and yards of tulle, depending on the magic touch of some good fairy who would appear at the last moment to adjust the veil to a point of enchantment, Of course this entailed endless worry and suspense and more times than not ended in keen disappointment. However, in this present day of efficiency all this uncertainty as to the final touch to the veil has been done away with and a new order of. procedure takes its place. The modern bride-to-be goes to the leading ( millinery department or her fayorite shop and asks to be shown the latest and most fetching in. bridal adornment. The visions of loveliness which the salespeople’ will: bring forth are enough to make the eyes of any prospective bride dance with joy. Think of it—the entire ensemble all thought out for you down to the last orange blossom bud. One of the first items of news which will be imparted to the enquiring bride-to-be is that streamline effects are the last word in wedding veilcraft. Which means that there is going to be a symmetry, a very poetry of motion about the billowy masses of tulle which veil the springtime bride which will delight and satisfy all who behold You see the idea conveyed in the exquisite lace-trimmed veil to the left
in the picture—a model which is now showing in the better millinery establishments, Note that. the veil ts supported at the top of the close-fitting cap of Chantilly lace in coronet or tiara effect. Of course you have noted the huge lace rosettes, one at each side, which seem to have fluttered down into position on the sweeping wide veil, of real news in regard to bridal veil styling for spring-summer, 1934. And her flower muff! . Flower muffs are the correct thing for the modern bride to carry. What’s. more, the bride’s attendants will be carrying them, too, but in fresh springy colors which no word describes so perfectly as “delicious.” Here’s something those seeking style hints should know. It is about cunning little flanged molded-to-shape face veils which brjdes are wearing—ever so flattering! Then, too, it Is interesting to note that bridesmaids’ hats are sporting tremendously wide brims of maline. These in a galaxy of springtime colorings are wonderfully picturesque and becoming. In some instances the bride’s attendants are carrying quaint colonial wide ruffles of maline encircling the prim cluster of wee flowerets, the maline matching the wide maline brim of each hat. ’ And now this recital of lovely. bridal fantasies must be brought to an end but not until we call attention'to the resplendent Spanish lace veil on the bride pictured to the right. It-is done in true Spanish mantilla effect. © by Western Newspaper Union. LACE REAPPEARING IN VARIOUS HUES You just can’t keep a good fashion down. With spring dance frocks growing more feminine and alluring by the minute, lace was certain reappearance, after having been more or less out of the picture for winter, A black frock, in one of the new cire or cord laces, is just about the most satisfactory evening frock that anyone can own, And a white lace dress, worn with bright colored slippers and accessories, is a _ fetching youthful fashion, This spring, however, there is unusual emphasis on colored laces, French women are choosing navy blue lace over satin or taffeta slips, in place of black. Green lace, in lovely leaty shades, makes enchanting evening dresses. One very effective model is made with a trained skirt, fitted around the hips, and with soft fullness at the hemline. The bodice is made with a hip-length peplum, divided in front and shirred at the back to match the fullness in the back of the skirt.Definite Leaning Toward Swagger Suits Observed No one Is going to pit the American girl in uniform this spring. . . . Suite are as varied as the weather, ‘which gives room for practically a daily design. There is a definite leaning toward the swagger suit, no doubt due to all this windblown talk which is. effective if it does. sound a little chilly, These swaggers come in practically full iength coats, frequently tied under the neck, but in bows, not ascots, The coats have the full sleeve, hang loosely and are not made to be wrapped around, Skirts have wide self-cloth belts and often the button which marks the belt closing is repeated on the blouse, Sequin Stoles Appear Long straight stole Scarfs. of sequins or lame are draped about the’ shoulders as an accompaniment to frocks of the same fabric. WITH BOLERO By CHERIE NICHOLAS to stage a. A woman who keeps pace with the times cannot get by without at least one long-sleeved, floor-length dress which sets her apart from the daytime world of practical clothes, and stamps her as a lady of the new leisure. This gown of all-day crepe, the new rayon woven of tubize yarn acetate and tubize viscose yarn is in a new shade called orange bisque. Its simple flowing lines make it a dress of graceful and becoming dignity. Outstanding style points to remember include the bolero effect and the deep armhole uu sleeves, also the girdle-tie of self fabric.
