ASHINGTON, May 6.-—All Congressional delegations were not as complacent as were the Hoosiers when they sat through several hours of lecturing at the Indiana Chamber of Commerce dinner herve, Twenty-four states and regions had similar dinners and at some of them the New Dealers hiew the lid offf Rep. Sal Bloom D. N, Y.) walked out on the New Yorke ers. but Senatory Neely (D. W, Va.) arose at his home state dine ner and, for a change, told the Chamber of Commerce crowd what he thought about them, “I don't feel as though I am under any great obligation when I come down here at eat $250 worth of your food.” he said. “Because I know that you get vour money's worth in being able to stand up and tell Senators and Congressmen what a low opinion vou have of them and what a fine opinion you have of yourseives.™ Some of the ainners were a lite tle boisterous. But the Indiana dinner was dry and the speeches were serious Naturally the Democratic Cone gressmen didn't relish the idea of being told that about everything the New Deal has done hag been wrong and there was plenty of off the record “cussing” the next dav at the Capitol. One of the points raised during the post-mortem was whether or not it was proper for the state's business and mnaustrial hieraehy to put their guests on the pan and then not afford them any chance to talk back at all Senator Minton (D. Ind), an 18-carat New Dealer, was seated at the speakers’ tabie and would have been glad to have added a few well chosen words of his own, no doubt, Even Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind), who also was seated at the speakers’ table as dean of the Indiana Republicans in Congress, used to vote for some New Deal measures back in the davs when their popularity was almost 100 per cent Rep. Gerald WW. Landis (R. (Ind.), one of the freshmen, admits that he would have liked to have had the floor for a short talk on his favorite subject—the Townsend Plan,

Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind) is cherishing a nice note he got from Speaker Bankhead (DD. Ala), which reads: “I have just had the opportunity to read in full the very fine address by yourself recently published in the Congressional Reeord. entitled ‘Why I Am a Jeffersonian Democrat’ and I assure you that this short address is one of the finest summaries that I have seen on the spirit and substance of Jefferson's real democracy and a contribution to his memory that ' shall carefully preserve.” » ~ »

his conscience is clear in the mat-

ter of checkmating consolidation of the New Albany WPA district with Indianapolis. This plan, drafted by John K, Jennings, State WPA director, to save an estimated $53.484 in administrative costs, would have let out John A. Cody. New Albany WPA director, a Minton man in the Senator's own home town. “But I dian’t stop it,’ Senator Minton says. “I merely phoned WPA headquarters here to find ont about it and learned that the order already had been ree seinded.” The stop order was made be. cause of the plan to revamp the WPA setup under the reorganization which joing WPA and PWA headquarters told the Senator Senator Minton didn't go into what he would have done had he learned that the Jennings order was about to be carried out,

» ” » RCH N. BOBBITT cannot count on much support from the G. O. P. Congressmen if he gets into a jam and is ousted from his present post of Republican State Chairman. They don't like that alleged letter he is said to have written to Governor Townsend asking for a State Tax Board job. Nor do they think so much of his coming here with Raymond E. Willis to file the complaint against Senator VanNuys (D. Ind), Since the Angola publisher announced on that day that he will again seek the Senatorial nomination, they link Mr. Bobbitt up with that as a sort of political

[ plot.

Some of the Congressmen have to say about Lynn Kidd of Brazil as a possible suecessor to Mr. Bobbitt in the chair manship.

» Diminutive Aohnny MeCahe, chief of the House page boys, whe came here from Whiting 20 vears age with the late Rep. Will R. Wood (R. Ind.), has been nursing one of his charges this week. The ayes is Pete Cisson of

The latter showed a bane broken, 0 Johnny is seeing that it is knitting properly for he predicts a great career as a cateher for his protege. “He is only a kid, but the best hoy I ever saw for his age hehind home plate,” Johnny, who it a season ticket man at the Nats ball park, declares, w » EP. WILLIAM T. SCHULTE (D. Ind.) is a member of the House District of Columbia Committee which is hearing about the milk business here and he is (ry. ing to find out why milk from Muncie, or anywhere else in Indiana, isn't admitted to the Washington market, During the hearings this week, there was great discussion regard. ing milk truck drivers raising and racing pigeons, Growing disgusted, Rep. Schulte shouted : “What are we (rving to prove, that these boys have been boot: legging pigeon milk?” Queer as such business may sound, it ig no more so than a serious letter which Rep. Schulte received. In it the writer re. quested the Congressman to obtain a domen peacock eggs for him and in return he wouid hatch them and give the Congressman a 50-50 share in the birds, ” » » Gripe of the Congressmen who attend the New York World's Fair opening was summed up when Rep. John W. Boehne Jr, (ND. Ind.) asked hizx Ways and Means Committee chairman, the Yenerabe Rep. Robert L. Doughton (DO, N, C.), how he liked the trip. “It was just like anything that is free,” Rep. Doughton dourly re-

plied, A of the Indiana Congressmen got letters this week from Charles M. Dawson, secre: tary-treasurer of the Indiana Township Trustees’ Association, objecting to the project method of discharging WPA workers and | urging that dismissals be based on need. Most of them answered that they agreed that need should be the yardstick, which raises the question as to who will determine that and how. All of the Congressmen are sure that they will not be called upon to do it.

The others were practically in accord that he should be brought home and be made to face the penalties of his offenses “We are capable of punishing him | as we have a right to punish our citizens when they escape from the {custody of officers to whom they (have been committed We have {other offenses of which the man [may be guilty, We have the right to impose fines and by that means to confiscate his wealth” “My own personal opinion is that fx the best solution of the probe lem to let him return and punish him," he said Other pending legislation apposed by the Legion was the Ludlow war referendum.
