Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enginemen and Firemen, They had all met him before, of course, largely in connec- tion with wage disputes and other argumentative matters, but this was the first time that he had been invited to discuss the principles affecting railroad operation, and hence railroad em- ployment. What Mr. Robertson said proves the worker DOES realize that prosperity for the employer is imperative if the pay en- velope is to be well filled. To quote one sentence: “The responsibility of both parties (management and labor) must primarily concern itself with delivering to the! ang public a constantly improving quality and price of product. This ought to constitute our mutual objective.” Which proves that railroad workers as well as railroad managers recognize the menace represented by the flight of passengers and freight from the rails to the highways and the necessity of giving better service at lower prices if the industry is to advance. Mr. Robertson said a lot of things about “The Need for New Patterns of Human Association in Industry,” the subject assigned him- They sounded like good sense and good Amer- icanism. Railroad managers thought enough of them to print Mr. ii ving congressional power, is likely to be solved by a com- Promise which would create authori- Robertson’s speech and send copies of it out to the newspapers of the nation. Which was good sense, too. Wealth, Youth and Corn Likker Tongues clucked recently when Basil Ryan, heir to a part of the great Ryan copper fortune, took unto himself a bride after a three-minute romance at Hickory, N.C. i Not that the sons of the wealthy may not marry the beau- tiful daughters of common folk and even get the best of the bargain, but that the young lady in question had only a short time before been involved in a mess which added nothing to her reputation. Since then, with Ryan ill in a hospital, there has been some question as to whether the marriage will “take.” From some sources come reports that he has expressed a desire to end the union “as quickly and painlessly as possible’ while the young actual development—of similar re- lopme! heve its own individual administrator. (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 20.—The aims of the regional planning program which will be before congress are so many and diverse that it is difficult to com- prehend the program at one gulp. Under the Norris bill in the senate and the Mansfield bill in the house, the nation would be divided into seven planning regions, among which the Tennessee Valley and adjacent area would be one. Regional authorities similar to TVA would plan—or initlate—the carrying out of the Roosevelt dream of substituting planned development and conservation of natural resources be ue familiar congressional “pork rel.” Flood control, prevention of soil erosion, reforestation, storing of water for irrigation, cheap electricity, de- centralization as against urban con- gestion, new ppportunities for mil- Hons and employment for the unem- ployed are among the objectives, Six More Authorities Senator George W. Norris of Ne- braska, recently ill, is back here in Good health. He has a remarkable record of success on legislative ob- Jectives, 80 something seems more or leas bound to happen. His own bill, after putting the Cumberland river basin and sections of the Mississippi Valley under TVA, would create six other planning de- velopment authorities, These would be set up in corporate form, with edministrative power over regional power, water, forest and aoil projects. Each authority would op- erate, as does TVA, with a lump aum Harbors committee, also hes a bill. It provides for planning—but not for gional districts by regional boards which would make recommendations would then, if part powel mt begun this way would HIS IS THE HOUSE THAT WASN'T BUILT.

KENNEDY ON CONFUSION n the extraordinarily clear and can- did report of Mr. Joseph P, Kennedy, ‘ Compromise Is Likely The issue between the two bills, volt delegation of to TVA for two new re- ning authorities of the Maritime commission, one point 4s made which appears to have es- caped comment. And yet it happens to emphasize the chief indictment made against the administration 4l- most from the start and dwells upon. what many consider its most alarm- ing symptom—to wit, the almost in- credible confusion, “Although,” writes Mr. Kennedy, “the Maritime commission is with responsibility for the develop- ment of an adequate merchant marine, -|many other agencies exercise some ing the basins of the Colorado, rivers flowing into the Pacific south of the California-Oregon line and the Great Basin—is speculative. Other authorities proposed by rls would be the Atlantic Seaboard, Missour! Valley and Arkansas Valley authorities. The TVA record is a strong talking bride contends that he tells her he wants her with him always. | Point The facts, probably, will come out in due time. The most interesting—and amusing—thing about the whole | board business, however, is the explanation given by friends for Ryan’s | jocsiisea conduct. They contend that he, used to the “mild cocktails of the social set in New York,” came a cropper when he tangled with the native corn likker of the Carolina hills, known in those parts as “popskull.” The result of this combination, it is assumed, would have jurisdiction over maritime affairs. A reliminary survey reveals not less n 50 bureaus which exercise some control over shipping. This diffusion ci authority means costly duplication of effort, divided responsibility; inter- departmental rivalries and lessened efficiency. The greatest duplication occurs between the Maritime commis- sion and the Bureau of Marine In- spection and Navigation. It would seem desirable that many of the func- Pestle these agencies should be con- The significance of this restrained statement does not lie so much in the facts, striking as they are, as in their recital, not by @ critic of the admin- istration, but by a member of it, who happens also to be a close friend of the president.

If he had, he wouldn’t—un- less he\changed his tune. There are times, indeed, when Mr. Kennedy has no difficulty in restraining his per- sonal admiration and some difficulty in sticking it out at all, Maybe that’s 48 good @ reason as any for calling him “The Miracle Man.” At any rate, it keeps him in position to say no while others of the so-called White House “inner circle” are intoning yes. It would be a good thing for Mr, Roo- sevelt, personally, and a good thing for the country if there were = few more Kennedys in executive positions in Washington, but there are none— and the reason is because the present’ head of the government revolts against candor and cannot digest facts. Ass result, he gets very little of the for- mer and very few of the latter, unless heavily sugared and well diluted.
