The Music Lover THE NEW DEAL [ASHINGTO —BY RODNEY DUTCHE (Tribune Washington Correspondent) War on Barlew and Glavis Upsets PWA and Interior Staffs ... Heat on Ickes Is Terrific... Roosevelts Far from Comfortable. Washington, Jan. 18.—One of those disturbing New Deal family affairs such as in the past have turned NRA and AAA upside down is now de- moralizing the sector ruled by Secre- tary Ickes. Efforts to smooth off the waters made turbulent by the Burlew affair have been strenuous and unsuccess- ful. Despite a stalemate, the chief characters retain a nervous where- do-we-go-from-here attitude and find themselves unable to relax. Occupants of the Interior-PWA building, with its countless bureaus; and commissions, merely went through the motions of work for at least three ports appeared the White House sought re- moval by Ickes of two of his most and Chief Investigator Louis Glavis. Nearly everyone and everything were distinctly upset. ICKES ‘IN THE GREASE’ So Ickes sent Burlew and Glavis continues to be bedeviled.

Ickes, aside ER FANNY SAYS: A 028. U.S. PAT.OFF. from his confidence in the man, feels that keenly. No one recalls any close parallel for the situation. For it has been made obvious that the White House shares the general embarrassment. Burlew is fighting hard to retain his job and nobody is forgetting— though some may have forgotten for @ time—that he is in a position to charge Mrs. Roosevelt with what he considers undue interference in the Personnel affairs of Subsistence Homesteads. Those who know the First Lady well love and admire her and approve her many warm-hearted activities, but they fear enemies might be able to arouse prejudice against her by aspersions at her active interest in her favorite New Deal activities, HEADACHE FOR F. R. Some who know Ickes well have added to the White House embarrass- ment by expressing belief that the would resign if pressed too hard as to Burlew and Glavis. Roo- sevelt wouldn't want that. In fact, there's every reason to sus- pect that the whole matter has given him an acute headache. Which, incidentally, is shared by members of congress who hopéd to do something to Burlew at this session, but have now been scared off by the thought that the issue seems to rest between Ickes and the President. The best guessers feel that Bur- Jew, after a little while, will be given change of assignment—or du- ‘Then the colored messengers in the department, who now call him i Burlew,” may have to find another nickname. MORE HOPE FOR GLAVIS Glavis, according to New Dealers who deplore Burlew, is another mat- ter. Local legend would have you be- eve Louis has listened to every tcle- phone conversation and rifled every government desk in town, but he is ® conscientious detective and Bur- Jew’s foes would be happy if they could get him out from under Bur- lew’s authority, Some of the same New Dealers sympathize deeply with Ickes, who has been thrown into a hot spot just as his future importance in the work relief scheme was becoming ques- tionable and his Tri-Boro Bridge fight with Robert Moses in New York was being widely interpreted here as only an attempt to do a little job for Jim Farley.
