PATRONAGE STORM BREWING AS PARTY IGNORES SENATORS Democrats in Upper Branch Indicate Reprisal Action « in January Session. SOME JOBSEEKERS FIND SUPPORT REAL HANDICAP Sincere Desire to Avoid Breach Modified by Department Heads’ Cool Attitude. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Democratic Senators who hop in and out of Washington this Summer seek- ing to keep up with the “new deal” and more particularly to obtain jobs for their constituents are disgruntled be- cause their recommendations for ap- pointments are not more successful. Some of them are fit to be tied when the heads of departments and some of the newer Government organizations are named. There is a storm brewing which may break with considerable force when the Senate gets back to ‘Washington next January. ‘The irate Democratic Senators are not blaming Postmaster General James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic Former Kaiser Asks German-Americans To Support N. R. A. Wilhelm Seen Alive to World Affairs by U. of S. C. President. By the Associated Press.

Dr. von Kleinsmid gave the Kaiser's message this morning when he returned with Mrs. von Kleinsmid on the liner, President Harding, from a tour of Eu- rope. The Kaiser is keenly alive to world affairs. Dr. von Kleinsmid said, and considers this country’s attempt to pull itself out of the economic depression a movement that deserves complete co- operation from every cne. | The former German ruler was very well and very happy, according to the university president. 37 NAVAL VESSEL CONTRACTS SIGNED Swanson Sees ‘Treaty Navy’ Under Way—Many Craft Carry Names of Cities.

And indeed, office seekers have been told they must have the indorsement of Senators and Rep- resentatives from their States and dis- tricts before they can get anywhere in their quest for Federal jobs. But some- where along the line, cogs have slipped in the machinery. Appointments are made of men unknown to Senators from their States. Others are named without the Senators having been con- sulted. All of which is exceedingly irri- tating.

Wallace; with the Department of| Labor, headed by Miss Perkins; with the Tennessee Valley Authority and with the Public Works Administration. Several of the newly created organ- izations are taking pride in the fact that they are keeping “pclitics” out of their appointments. And it is said that here and there, and particularly in con- nection with the Tennessee Valley Authority, a recommendation for ap- pointment by a Senator or a member of | the House is a positive lability to an | applicant. Amendment Is Hinted. In view of the inability of the Senators to obtain consideration there is talk of reviving an amendment to the recovery and public works act, de- | feated at the time the méhsure was| under consideration, which provided that every appointee receiving a salary of $2,000 a year or over should be sub- ject to confirmation by the Senate. Other Senators are talking of offering amendments to appropriation bills at the next session especially providing that none of the money should be ex- pended to pay the salaries of appointees | to whom they take exception. Senators are confronted with the | fact that men have been selected for appointment as engineers in their States, under the Public Works Ad- ministration, without their knowledge. One ludicrous example is said to have happened in Tennessee. Senators McKellar and Bachman failed to recognize the name of a man who was selected there. The story goes that whoever made the selection looked up engineers in the classified telephone di- rectory and lighted on this particular name. It turned out that the man had been a resident of the State for only | eight months, it is said. | Senate Leader Ignored. | his Another Democratic Senator, one of | the most prominent in the whole Sen- | ate and an ardent administration man, | found the other day that an appoint- ment was about to be made in his State to which his attention had not been called.

The Labor Department has been a gore spot with some of the Senators. Miss Perkins has her own ideas about who should be appointed to places in that department. Indeed, it is said that she expressed great surprise when she was informed that the appointees to principal positions in her depart- ment had to be confirmed by the Sen- ate and was most restive when some of her selections were temporarily held up during the last session of Congress. {with the Navy and thinks | country road and brutally !in the back of the neck, By the Associated Press.

Progress of the Hamilton National Bark toward an opening date was halted today, temporarily at least, by Col. Wade H. Cooper, president of the United States Savings Bank, who suc- ceeded in postponing until Tuesday morning consideration by the court of contracts necessary for the opening of the eight-bank merger. Col. Cooper objected to the proceed- ing, which came before Justice Jesse C. Adkins of the District Supreme Court. Following some controversy be- tween attorneys for Col.

With the resignation of his chief deputy administrator, Dudley Cates, and those of two other officials on hic desk, Administrator Hugh S. Johnson | today was reported to be engaged in mapping out plans for a sweeping re- . organization of the staff of the National Recovery Administration. Cates tendered his resignation late | yesterday after repeated attempts to smooth out differences with Johnson on matters of interpretations and policies to be followed by the admin- istration. The retiring official made it plain in a statement that he was op- posed to the administration’s labor policy. Johnson postponed his press con- ference this morning until late today.

Cates was at his office in the Commerce De- partment this morning for the pur- pose of cleaning up routine affairs. He said he expected to depart for Chicago later in the day. Cates'_resignation came as no sur- prise. For weeks Johnson had been turning over important executive mat- ter to other deputy administrators, leaving his chief assistant with little | outstanding work to do. The last big| assignment handed to the deputy ad- ministrator was the steel code. This developed into a deadlock, with John- son stepping into the picture in order to mmfl about an agreement. | The labor policy being pushed by Cates called for & new type of unioniza- tion, separate from the American Fed- eration of Labor, The breaking point | came yesterday, however, after Cates had conferred with members of the ad- ministration’s Industrial Advisory Board. He is sald to have disagreed also with this administrative arm on a number of questions of policy. Later in the day the chief deputy administrator conferred with Johnson. Shoertly after this conference was con- cluded the administrator informed newspaper men in a formal statement Johnson Praises Cates. Johnson said Cates had joined his organization “at my urgent request, without ccmpensation and at a great personal expense, loss and sacrifice.” “He has been my good friend and intimate,” Johnson continued, “for many years and through many diffi- culties, and he has always been, and he is now, honest and loyal. He has one cf the keenest minds of my ac- quaintance and I expected him to be of the greatest value in this work. “Unfortunately, difference of opinion on policy and interpretation of the law arose early in the administration. We both have done everything we could to reconcile this difference. “Over a month ago he expressed & wish to leave and has remained only at my solicitation and in the hope that we could find & way to use his great talents in some position which would not raise controverted questions of policy.

JAM WILL BENEFIT LAGGING INDUSTRIES Forced Pacts Likely to Be Delayed—Cates Re- signs Post. By the Associated Press The National Recovery Admin- istration today reached its dead- line for submission of permanexn codes, and administrators counted around 600 agreements in hand, with definite expectation of sev- eral more soon. A regulation issued a month ago provided that for all industrial groups which had not come for- ward with codes by September 1, the N. R. A. would set code hear~ ing dates regardless. However, with all basic industrial units either under codes or about to have agreements completed and with the majority of codes await- ing hearing, the call to non-re- sponding industries was not ex- pected to begin immediately. The continued hesitancy of Henry Ford toward aligning him- self with the N. R. A. movement was a predominant topic at the Recovery Administration today, as was the resignation of Dudley Cates, assistant industrial admin- istrator, and the proposed reore ganization of his staff by Admin- istrator Hugh S.

Coal Code by Tuesday. Officials reiterated they expected the bituminous coal code to be ready by next Tuesday, when the President re- turns. By then or soon thereafter the one cther big agreement, covering the entire retail trade, is expected to be ready for signature. Of the codes submitted, adminis- trators believed that not more than 300 would be promulgated finally. It is the intention to combine dozens of in- dustrial units under one agreement. Like the retail trade lines now bee ing gathered under one master code, it is intended to bring all components of the construction indusiry together and Lpbliollow this process wherever pose sible. Meanwhile, child labor became & thing of the past today in hundreds of thousands of business establishments. Every signer of President Roosevelt's re-employment agreement — estimated by N. R.
