Subsequently the work has been multiplied to such an extent, he says, that he is forced to remain away from his office as manager of the South Florida- Contracting and Engineer- ing Company for hours at a time, and night after night work until a late hour. This application to the duties of assistant disbursing officer for the CWA and the ensuing neglect of his duties as manager of the com- pany, he has for so many years beén connected with, made it necessary for him to relinquish one or the other and, naturally, as he says, his resignation as assistant disbursing officer was tendered, sevce WHERE TO GO TONIGHT « Palace—“The Exposure.” Strand—“Sitting Pretty” “Fog.” and TOMORROW Palace—“The Exposure.” Strand—‘“Master of Men” and “Sitting Pretty.” PREDICTS NEXT CONGRESS T0 BE ‘VERY CRITICAL’ QUESTION ARISES AS TO WHO {WILL BE FOREMOST CRIT- ICS IN MANY OF ADMIN- ISTRATION POLICIES By HERBERT glo (ity Associated WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. _—The prediction of Everett Sanders, chairman of the republican na- tional committee, that the next congress will be “very critical” raises the question as to who will be the foremost critics of ad- ministration policies in the com-|_ ing session. Washington observers are the opinion that two republicans in the house will be heard often; and with authority. They are James ‘Wadsworth of New York} and James Beck of Pennsylvania. Wadsworth is on record as visioning the greatest tional contests in history as an outgrowth of the national recovery legislation. Beck has said: “It seems inconceivable that indus- trialists of America who have| been accustomed to economic freedom will not... challenge the validity of the recovery act.” The supreme court will have decided or will have before it at the time, casés involving the con- stitutional foundations of the “new deal” recovery program. Beck and Wadsworth, both skilled in constitutional law, naturally would .be expected to assume leadership among repub- lican critics, Straws In The Wind? Some who have been watching the supreme court closely pro- fess to see an indication of that tribunal’s attitude toward re- argument in a case from Minne- legislatures to defer mortgage contracts due to ‘a - proclaimed economic emergency. Toward the end of the argu- ment of the attorney general of Minnesota, Justice Sutherland in- terrupted. He was interested in whether it was ‘the contention of the: Minnesota official that a state’s police power superseded that of the federal constitution. Justice Sutherland seemed dis- satisfied with the reply. Several times he reframed his question in} an effort to get a clearer ans- wer. Just when it seemed the situa- tion was becoming too involved, Chief Justice Hughes broke in. In very deft fashion ‘he changed the subject completely.
