For Better or Worse | Congress has ended its 74th session and| everywhere throughout the country people are| trying to evaluate the meaning of its actions. Editorials will be written on the subject. Lawyers will burn the midnight oil poring over several thousand new laws and the nation as a whole will heave a sigh of relief. Whatever this congress has done, for good or for ill, the country will have a chance to catch its breath and give whole-souled attention to its own af- fairs. Meanwhile, as one views the far-reaching measures which were adopted, it becomes ap- parent that months—more probably years—will be needed to evaluate the full meaning of these enactments. There are some things about them which nearly everyone knows—but what the ultimate effect will be on the development of the country or its people no one can foretell. We know, for example, that a $4,880,000,000 work relief bill was passed and that the imme- diate effect will be to relieve want. Its effect upon the government’s fiscal structure and upon future taxes can only be guessed at. The social security bill became a law, a step upon a wholly new pathway for this govern- ment, although others have tried it. Will it really lead to social security or merely to blasted hopes and new despairs? A utilities regulation bill, most bitterly fought issue of the session, finally was enacted . into law. At first blush it would seem to be, in its final form, more of a victory for the presi- dent than for its opponents. Much has been said of its alleged virtues and vices. Investors rave been both frightened and reassured. The correct answer will not be available until we see how it works out. AAA, TVA, the lobby investigation and scores of other matters flashed their brief mo- ment in the congressional kaleidoscope, then faded from view as new sensations arose until the public grew dizzy. Congressmen and sena- tors voted on so many bills that they will be unable to recall their main provisions, let alone explain them when they get back home. Just one thing is certain about the decision ! y chind the Scenes in Washington | WITH RODNEY DUTCHER { ‘Pet’ TVA Plans Are Under Fire; McCarl Has to Step Down on Financial Supérvision of Project. #8 | Washington, Aug. 28.—Grizzled veteran of famous congressional battles for more than 30 years, Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska is still winning victories. His latest triumph was won largely at the expense of his former secretary, J. R. McCarl, long since grown pow- erful as comptroller general. McCarl wanted to get TVA finances under his thumb. And TVA is the senator's cherished child. ‘The controversial TVA amendments, designed chiefly to protect TVA against invalidation by courts, went through the senate as Norris and other friends of the Project desired. But a hostile house military affairs com- mittee mangled them so as to hamstring the TVA direc- tors seriously. The house repaired some of the damage, repudiating its committee, but the house measure was still in such shape when {it reached conference that Nor- ris, head of the senate conferees, couldn't accept them. Speaker Joe Byrns appointed a house conference com- mittee, four of whose five members were hostile to TVA. Congressman Lister Hill of Alabama was the only friend Norris had in the house group. The outlook seemed hope- leas. ooe WINNING THROUGH After weeks of deadlock, the conference suddenly re- ported out a bill far more favorable than any friend of TVA had dared anticipate. Norris and Hill, throwing every ounce of energy into their persuasion, had won over two of the house con- ferees, giving them a majority on that side. The inside story is this: The Norris threat to tie up the issue until next ses- sion, making TVA a campaign issue unless it were treated fairly now, was backed up by pregnant messages from an important gent at the other end of Pennsylvania avenue and by his congressional contact man, Charles West. Chairman John McSwain of the house conferees, a South Carolinian and secret foe of TVA, was caused to remember that his state seeks 20 or 30 million dollars for a certain Santee-Cooper river navigation and power project, Congressman Numa Montet of Louisiana, who has broken with his old friend Huey Long, was forcibly re- Veteran George Norris Can Still Win Victories When His minded that no anti-Kingfish candidate could be re- elected in Louisiana without strong administration sup- port. ‘After McBwain and Montet saw the light, it was all over. eee TVA GIVEN SCOPE The net effect is to let TVA do approximately what- ever it finds necessary to achieve suceess and to knock out hampering restrictions, The TVA directors have in- sisted that they must be allowed some of the flexibility and freedom of # business corporation and a minimum of red tape. McCarl, instead of getting the firmer hold on TVA finances for which he had hoped and worked, receives a setback. Although still authorized to, audit TVA ac- counts, his comments can no longer be heralded—as they were recently by “power trust” representatives—as a “report” damning the development. McCarl's reports hereafter will be subject to TVA scrutiny and accom- panying explanation or answer before they are submitted. Also, the comptroller general must now pay for his own audit of all TVA accounts except that relating to top power, TVA officials have been sore because McCarl sta- tioned 15 of his men at Knoxville and elsewhere at a cost of $75,000 a year to TVA. These agents go in for such things as counting the number of men at a movie show at Norris construction camp. The new legislation also reaffirms TVA’s right to use its own judgment in awarding contracts. McCarl had criticized severely because from three to five per cent of its contracts hadn't gone to low bidders. oes WEST'S INFLUENCE The end of the session will give Charlie West a chance to find out what his job as undersecretary of the interior is like. He was appointed weeks ago at a time when it was supposed that the end was then near. Ever since, West has been up to his ears on his job of “lobbying” for Roosevelt on Capitol Hill. The extent to which the White House got what it wanted in the closing days was to no small degree due to his efforts. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) THE BISMARCK ‘TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUSI 28, 19385 Maybe We'd Better Buy Some Gas Masks, Too OLITICS | NATION'S CAPITOL | By HERBERT PLUMMER Washington—Perhaps as surprising as the speed with which the senate passed the neutrality laws was the spontaneous outburst on the floor en- gaged in by the youthful Senator Nye | of North Dakota immediately after the vote was taken. Figuratively speaking, Mr. Nye all but jumped up and clicked his heels in delight. Actually, he jumped to his feet in the middle aisle of the chamber, grabbed the hand of “Young Bob” LaFolfette whom he first en- countered, then raced back to where Vandenberg of Michigan was standing to give him a resounding thwack on the back. Mr, Nye plainly was elated. And that somehow was a bit unexpected. Senate Joint Resolution 173, the technical designation of the neutral- ity laws passed by the senate, doesn't So near as far as the proposals ad- vanced by Nye and his munitions in- vestigating committee.

Frank Knox, Publisher of the Chicago Dally News, in the American Legion Monthly.) Patriotism is sometimes the refuge of scoundrels. Likewise, many times, the constitution is made the cloak for rascally injustice. The scoundrel's patriotism, how- ever, 1s always exhibited when the need for exhibition of Patriotism is absent. Your crook who wraps the flag around him is never present in answer to the roll when love of country exacts sacrifice. of congress to quit saving the nation and take a rest. It comes at a propitious time. This is the season when, traditionally, business begins an upswing. The trend should be accelerated by the fact that there no longer remains any immediate question about what our lawmakers may do. The record is made. Business can go ahead with the knowledge that whatever changes are in store have been pretty well ac- complished. It can relax further in the knowl- edge that, in view of what has been done, we are unlikely to see many new innovations in the! immediate future, Law of Compensation Some idea of the price paid by mankind for the high speed of modern life is contained in statistics showing the relative mortality of farm and city folks. Whether or not he lives a happier life, the farmer at least makes a better, insurance risk. When he is born the urban white male can expect to live 56.73 years whercas his rural brother will live 62.09 years, Although women live longer than men in each case, the trend {s the same. Urban women average 61.05 years at death while country women average 65.09, The statisticlans explain that some adjusiment should be made in the figures because no allowance is made for country people who die in city hospitals but, in the belief that most people still die in their own beds, they believe that the trend 1s just about what the figures show. Why this should be so is a question upon which doc- tors may well disagree, but the most commonly held assumption is that farmers not only live in healthier sur- roundings—country air is better than that in a machine shop or foundry, for example—but they are less subject to the mental strains and harassments which bother the city man, Since the will to live is one of the most im- portant factors in longevity, it would seem that city folks may tire of this mundane sphere more rapidly than du those familiar with broad horizons, the sweep of the sun across the heavens and the call of the wild bird to its) mate at eventide. It might also prove that hard work is conducive to a longer life than otherwise. Existence on the farm has its Joys and compensations but there also is plenty of phys- {eal labor. Ease is not always the most beneficial thing. ‘The Similarly, devotion to the constitution becomes a pub- Mc virtue when constitutional rights are imperiled. Most of us, most of the time, live our lives without paying great heed to the constitutional shelter under which we live. It is like = mother's love. It is ours without asking and we enjoy its blessings so naturally that we think those SENS SORE BOND always been over us and always Once in several generations a true stitution. One of those great periods of before the Civil War when the struggle threatened to destroy our constitutional unity. time is the present, when misguided men talk rect of constitutional reforms, the constitution out- moded and demand its change. Under this new pressure for a change, which is swiftly growing, it is well to ask ourselves a few fundamental questions: Do we want, in this country, a government based upon socialism, or upon individualism? If we want so- clalism, we must abandon our constitution as it is now j Written. If we want socialism with its regimentation and control of the individual's personal liberty, then we want @ change. If we want to preserve our freedom and lib- erty, then we must hold fast to our constitutional funda- mentals. There are only two kinds of government in the the profit out of war” 1s known to| ail on capitol hill. ** * Lenders Shivered | marked, “If congress does not go home at all, if we stay here until the ist day of January ... I for one am per- fectly willing to do it... .” While Bone was speaking, Nye himself gave evidence of his devotion to the subject of neutrality by hold- ing a press conference outside the senate chamber in which he detailed at length his views, 8. J. Resolution 173, embodying the Proposals worked out by Senator Pitt- man, chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee, Norman H. Davis and others, it was felt, could be dis- posed of quickly if Nye and his school of thought would speak briefly and to the point. ** © Nothing to Fear It was a big “If,” however. At a matter of fact, the leaders privately considered ways and means of breaking a filibuster if one of any great proportions should develop. Rules of the senate were on their side in as much as they expressly provide that conference reports have the right of way. The tax report was ready for final action and word had come that an agreement of some kind might be expected on the utility hold- ing company bill. The Guffey - Snyder coal bill was threatened, but Vice President Gar- ner was ready to rule it could be brought up at any time a senator de- manded the regular order. As it turned out, however, they had nothing to say. And, strangely, enough, they ap- It was this devotion which sent shivers up the backs of administra- tion leaders that their carefully-laid!

We cannot have a government which is part one and part the other, Sooner or later, it becomes wholly one, or wholly the other. Specifically in the present crisis, the test, apparently, will come on whether we shall preserve the American principles of thre¢ co-ordinate ments of govern- ment, each independent of the other—the executive, the legislative and the judiciary. The attack is aimed chiefly, at the moment, at the judicial power, and in no way can human freedom be destroyed more effectively than in undermining the authority of the courts to hold an exact balance as between the executive and legislative powers in the treatment accorded individuals under the consti- tution. When you hear the power of the courts attacked, you may know with certainty that your own personal, individual liberties are imperiled, The power of the judiciary, maintained on terms of equality with the two other great powers of our govern- ment, is the bulwark of the individual against the tyranny of the dictator or the tyranny of the mob.

For several years I have been driving jacar everywhere ant I had forgotten how to walk, Sold the car recently, tand have been walking across Brooklyn Bridge to my office down down. Twice a day tired me.

But Hindhede’s explanation of the superior value of whole wheat is searcely sufficient today. From the newer knowledge of nutrition we are warranted in ascribing the superior value of whole wheat at least in large measure to the vitamins naturally present in wheat, vitamins which, along with most of the calcium and phosphorus and iron, are removed by milling and refining and discarded. I am not going to provide any symptoms here, but I wish to say that I believe it will be a bad day for the nostrum business and a great day for America when people return to just plain wheat.

On your advice I took the treatment and it was perfectly suc- cessful, no ill effects, now feel as if nothing ever was wrong. (Mrs. B. G.)
