se PAGE SIX Me oo as net Sr aan TG Sec sks hols ence Oe ie THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET Friday, June 29, 1934 National Topics Interpreted EE Pry = by William Bruckart oo~ Washington.—Prior to and since adjJournment of the second session of ; the Roosevelt conWhere Is New. gress, I have tried Deal Headed? to collect for these columns a composite picture of opinion among our lawmakers as to where this New Deal in government is headed. Oftimes I have reported here that I was unable to comprehend many phases of the New Deal because there has been so much confusion. It has been kaleidoscopic tn its—character-from—the—start,—but there’ had been indications that a second session of congress and Presidential messages would serve to clarify the situation. Such, however, has not been the case, insofar as my humble ability to understand it is concerned. To demonstrate more clearly what I mean, let me relate that I have sought the views of a great many members of congress and, with one or two exceptions, the replies to my questions. were divided into two classes. If the representative or senator was a devout administration supporter, the answer was that we are headed for greater human happiness on the basis of a planned national life. If the one to whom the questions were directed were a Republican or a Democrat who is unwilling to swallow academic theories in accordance with the doctor's prescription, the answer almost invariably was: “I don’t know.” Many of them expressed ‘the belief that there was merit in much of the New Deal program, but its ultimate end was a matter which they declared they could not now foresee. . T also have examined again many of the letters that I have received from readers of these columns since the New Deal came into operation, but they fail to provide a consensus as to whether the writers of them have formed conclusions as to direction. It is to be recalled further that Mr. Roosevelt, in submitting legislative proposals to either of the two sessions of congress, has said with absolute frankness that his program, then being offered, contained experimental features. With equal frankness and courage, he stated in each instance that if the experiments failed, he would be among the first to admit the fact. Such was his attitude regarding the gigantic agricultural adjustment program with all of his various policies for limitation of production: and enforced control of surplus. But since the President has not said yet that any of these have failed, it can only be concluded that he is satisfied with the progress being made. Opponents of the New Deal and doubting Thomases are pointing the finger of scorn more and more to these experiments, and I am informed by observers who have been visiting various sections of the country that there is dissatisfaction in considerable. volume concerning the results thus far accomplished. From industrial communities and the areas where the bulk of the income taxes are collected by the government, I hear the question: “Who is going to pay for all of this?” There can be no doubt: that this question of “who is going to pay” will become paramount at a later date than. it is now. But the -leaders of the New Deal have gone no further to this date than to say that a restored prosperity will make the payments easy. And the truth of their statements, of course, cannot be disputed. = s s thought when the President insisted on senate confirmaFail to Pin tion of his nominaTugwell tion of Professor Tugwell to be undersecretary of agriculture, there. would be an exposition of the New Deal objectives. Such, however, was not the case. Of course, the senate committee hearing where Professor Tugwell was questioned turned out to be an abortive thing, but still It had been expected there would be something that would add to the sum of public understanding of the destination sought, Senator Smith of South Carolina, Democratic chairman of the committee and a staunch opponent of Professor Tugwell, tried to pin the professor down to statements that would indicate what the so-called head of the brain trust thought the government is doing respecting agriculture. So did Senator Byrd, a Virginia Democrat. ‘Neither succeeded. Professor Tugwell was surprised at the questions asked him. He thought the committee ought to take his “word” without reservation. He assured the senators of his unqualified support of the Constitution of the United States, but afterward observers here voiced their inability to reconcile that assertion with the professor’s earlier writings to the effect that he could not understand’ “the unreasoning, «almost. hysterical attachment of gome Americans for the Constitution.” Notwithstanding this, the committee went right ahead and voted a favor. able report to the. senate on the professor’s nomination, Several WashA ig Many observers in Washington had said officially that Mr. Roosevelt would anxious to gain a better understand. ing of the New Deal objective. In that effort, they failed to get to first base. Mr. Tugwell advocated a planned national economy up to a certain point, but I was told by senators‘ after the hearing that they did not know what that point was. Tugwell stressed the necessity for having a governmental control of the various factors that affect. business—control of crops being one of them—because human happiness required such action, but as far as-I-was-able to understand his state ments, he did not clarify much of the confusion and the mystery that surrounds the New Deal plans. So, all that remains is a hope that Mr. Roosevelt is on the right track and that his policies will lead_to that human happiness about which his advisers speak. s ° & Another trend, or some think it is a trend, that is evident in the manage ment of affairs by Ignores President Roosevelt Critics is an apparent willingness on the part of the White House to pay less and less attention to critics. That is, many observers lately have called attention to an indication that Mr. Roosevelt is willing to ignore more and more of the attacks on his administration. He is-not the type, of course, who will make a face at his critics. He is a master politician, and keen politicians never do such things. But when one examines ‘the statements and information that is passed out from the White House in these days and those forthcoming, say, six months ago, the present-day grist is much more, if not entirely, free from “answers” to critics. And this is happening in a period when there is obviously very much more criticism than in the earlier days of the administration. Let me supply a basis of comparison: When the airmail contracts were eancelled, Col. Charles Lindbergh sent a telegram to the President, complaining about the act. The colonel’s air transportation company made the message public before it was laid on the President’s desk, or so Stephen Early, one of the President’s secretaries, said, After the message appeared in the newspapers, Mr. Early spoke at length to the newspaper. correspondents about the colonel’s “discourtesy” in making the message public. Some six months later, Clarence Darrow, the Chicago attorney, and the board of review of NRA affairs which he headed, let loose a blast on NRA that constituted a most vitriolic criticism of this phase of the New Deal. The President, himself, has said almost nothing about the Darrow board criticism. -True, General Johnson replied ‘In his ‘usual bombastic way, but that was General Johnson and not the White House. Criticism has been made in congress of the Agricultural Adjustment administration. Attacks on this have come also from the outside. But there has been no reply from the President, the top of the administration. Money policies have been under attack, as have been some of the relief measures which seem to some to hint of government-owned factories soon. These attacks have been allowed, however, to spend themselves in the thin air. = s * The President is going to Hawai for vacation,. That fact, of course, is generally known. § But Writers there is one feature Left Out of the trip that has not been generally circulated. Arrangements for the trip call for virtual elimination of news correspondents from the picture of the President’s vacation. That is almost without precedent. Washington correspondents are wailing and gnashing teeth all over the place, because that would be a gorgeous trip for those assigned to write news about the President. Usually, fifteen or twenty writers accompany the President everywhere he travels. It irks the correspondents, personally, but it seems to be irking some of the great newspapers more because they are taking the view that it constitutes censorship by the President. The arrangements for the Hawaiian trip are a little hard to understand. They appear to be a right-about-face on the part of the administration. This writer has been in Washington almost twenty years and never in that time have the facilities made available for the correspondents at the White House been greater than under Mr. Rooseyvelt’s direction. He has courted a friendly press at all times; -Everything that was necessary for the news paper writers was theirs to command. Now, however, the President is traveling on‘a naval cruiser,and he does not even have his own secretaries with him. He has permitted only three correspondents to accompany him oh the trip, ‘and they must remain on another naval boat which has been ordered to stay at least three miles away from his ship. Those three writers will have no contact except by radio, and their press services must supply the news, therefore, to the whole country, and the world. In a of the action, it can be not obtain complete rest in any other manner, He has been through a grind CRAZE for linen is on. Any fabric, just so its linen, seems to be the idea when it comes to material for this summer’s sports, afternoon, and even formal evening costumes. Add accessories to the list, for the summer Style program is largely made up of hats, shoes, gloves, pocketbooks and neckwear which are fashioned of linen ranging from finest and sheerest of handkerchief linen to sturdy linens which make the handsomest suitings imaginable, It’s the actual seeing of these marvelous linens which makes one appreciate and realize the why and the wherefore of the fuss and furore made over them. The new plaided and checked, dotted and otherwise patterned soft Irish linens “get you” the moment you glimpse them. That goodlooking are they, the smart set are having their travel and about-town and clubhouse costumes tailored of these materials. As for beach and tennis, golf and general sports wear, these linens—well,
words fail us. However, here’ are three illustrations which will get the méssage across better than anything that might be said or written on the subject. If you are in the class of enthusiasts which go in for tennis and golf, beach sports, hiking and general outdoor sports and leisure pastimes no need telling you that “shorts” are the order of the day. It is our personal opinion that no trio of shorts costumes could be more attractive if they tried than the group here pictured. _ By CHERIE NICHOLAS Pleated shorts turn a clever trick, for they give every appearance of a Smart-fashioned short ‘skirt, which makes them eligible to many an occasion where the more simply constructed shorts might seem out of place. The pleated shorts on the seated figure in the illustration are very attractively styled. The stunning blouse with its chic high collar and its modish side fastening and its intriguing sleeves is fashioned of a soft Irish linen which is plaided in blue. The Pleated shorts are bright red which makes a very patriotic coloring, indeed, for this good-looking sports costume, The shorts to the left are also made of blue and white Irish plaid linen, only the plaids are larger than for the blouse just described. Navy blue buttons and a-navy blue eton collar are good color accents. Inverted pleats both in front and back insure perfect freedom. The fashionable high neckline in front and a completely bare back follow along lines of newest daytime decolletage, a good idea for sun tanning. The Irish linen which fashions the beach shorts to the right in the group is of the loose-weave uncrushable type which gives such entire satisfaction in the wearing on hot summer days for rough-and-tumble frolic in the sands. It is backless with a graceful VY-line front neckline, which adopts small revers so that if one wants to slip on a jacket after one’s sun bath, the costume is quite complete. © by Western Newspaper Union. SHOW SHORT SKIRT WITH SUMMER GARB There are rumors to the effect. that as summer advances, street frocks and suits will be slightly shorter, so that one must get after calves and ankles that have thickened, It is possible to buy anklets of rubber that will reduce fatty accumulations, They can be worn at night. Certain exercises are helpful—high kicking, running up stairs, lifting up on the toes. Massage will take off inches if it is vigorous. Make a bracelet of the hands, twist and turn and dig in. Rub up and down with the flattened thumb. During the treatment keep the skin surface covered with borated talcum. Travel Accessories Best Matching All Clothes If you are going on a trip and haven’t room in your bags to pack several pairs of evening slippers and an extra wrap, take along something that will blend with each formal gown which you intend to wear. If one of your frocks is black and another is blue, pale green or some other pastel shade, black. slippers and a black wrap will go with each dress. Brown satin pumps and a brown wrap will blend with almost everything except black. They're very nice with pink and good with silver and gold,Seersucker Raincoats Checked seersucker is being used to fashion many popular raincoats. Some of them are made In a sleeveless style with cape tops. Matching umbrelias and hats complete these ensembles, Velvet for Summer ‘Black velvet and white pique are being featured {n one important eastern summer collection of hats.
