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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

They can be worn at night. Certain
exercises are helpful—high kicking,

toes. Massage will take off inches if
it is vigorous.

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
