GEORGGE Associated Press Correspondent perennial big show on Capitol Hill will open'at January-3, mystery shrouxlintf the prosper-. $tivc performance by a cast of 94 scn- and 432 representatives. Tlie senate seats formerly occupied HucyLong, the master showman, and Senator Schall, another will be vacant as will the of.Uiree representatives. To a greater'extent'than any national legislature within the memory of observers here nnd perhaps in con- I ask that question because there arc certain general policies of the national administration that this newspaper lias been silent silence, with a newspaper, is commonly considered to mean agreement. But the fact is, most of us find fault with the administration not on principle but on the methods by which those principles are put in force.

Here lately, it is true, there are evidences of a revolt against the administration on principle also. But I disagree with these critics. And just as I was about to write a New Year's summary of national events I found one already written to my liking. It is crisp, truthful, nonpartisan. You who imagine at times that the present administration is departing suddenly and violently from ancient American precepts would do well to read this article.

It is by William Feather, editor of the Imperial Type Metal magazine, a non-partisan trade journal for all its postagc- Stamp size, 1 rate one of the best in America. X.X.X Mr. Feather writes: 'At the time when this depression become serious there was no group that was willing to go the whole way to the If deflation had been allowed to take its natural course, a dozen big railroads would probably have gone into receivership, hundreds of additional banks would have linled, and many insurance companies, be in trouble, session with widespread uncertainly as to what its major mission will prove to-be. Not until the verdicts of the U. S.

supreme court on measures touching the economic interests of millions of American citizens have been handed down can a legislative "must" program be framed. AAA Decision Due Although President Roosevelt, who has.promised"a decreasing deficit, can map for the congress a budgetary blueprint or suggest revisions in existing laws here and there, the legislative schedule to deal with the embattled AAA and other prime elements of the "new deal" must await the action of the high court. The momentous decision on the val- of AAA, involving processing itaxcs which provide of tnil- Illons of dollars to finance crop con- be returned soon after the ourt reconvenes on January follow- its 'abbreviated Christmas recess, lould-the court find A'AA unconsti- Utional, congress would be plunged mmediately into a struggle to evolve hew farm relief program. gf Decisions affecting the validity of Iffthe public utility, the Tennessee Val- ''Icy Authority und the Guffey eoul control measures also are expected this Lwinter. The social security law and jhu wagncr labor disputes act possibly ay be passed upon by (he court bc- pre congress adjourns.

Should any these be declared invalid, efforts be made to re-enact them in con- Jtutionnl form. Bonus Action Seen 2arly action is expectexl in congress the soldiers bonus, affecting mil- Uons of World war veterans and their families directly as cash beneficiaries and millions of federal government taxpayers Indirectly. Advocates of immediate payment of the bonus express confdencc' in victory at this session even if the president vetoes the bill.

The comptroller said In a letter to Walter Sorrells, editor of the Pino Bluff Commercial, that textbooks apparently should be provided for under Section One of Article 14 of the constitution, which assures "gratuitous instruction" for all persons between the nges of and 21. ii does mil of official moratorium on contracts and solemn obligations. Tlie government keeps its hands off everything. The fit survive and the unfit go down. "Now (hat the government, by advancing billions of dollars of cash and credit to support lame situations, has prevented the chaos that appeared to threaten everyone, the 'right' side is becoming increasingly articulate and is saying that none of the government- aid measures were necessary.

''By instinct and reason I lean to the I wish that the government would attend to government and let business attend to business. But the day when that was possible seems to have gone forever. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation, conceived and organized by a conservative administration, ended all hope that natural law was to be allowed to prevail. Tlie RFC made inevitable the creation of dozens of other government-aid organizations. "Now we are told that we must make a choice between permanent government-aid, which is parasitism, and self-help, which is individual freedom.

"I prefer scli-help as a way of living nnd doing business, but unless the full implications of the self-help doctrine are accepted, I do not sec how we can return to that system. For example, self- help and a protective tariff lire at opposite ends of the pole. Those who advocate the 'right' must be consistent. They can't have their cake and eat it." Compromise Bonus Bill Is Foreseen President Parries Questions, However, at Press Conference house conference between Speaker Byrns and Representative Palman, house bonus bloc lender, ended, Tusday with no new suggestions for a compromise on Hi ticklish cash bonus issue. Fa'tman told reporters he had nothing to say.

for concessions intended to melt some of the administration's opposition to immediate payment of the bonus strengthened Monday with "compromise' 1 talk from a key man in the perennial battle. Author a bill that would pay tlie bonus through inflationary method of issuing $2,000,000,000 in new currency, Representative Patman, Democrat, Texas, returned to the capital to announce that he would "consider a compromise on the method of payment." That has been one of the bitterly contested points in the annual congressional bonus struggle. Talk of a possible compromise that might escape a presidential veto was heightened when President Roosevelt parried all questions nbout the bonus at his late afternoon press conference. He left room for an implication that the administration's mind was not closed on the question. Asked if he had changed his attitude toward the Palman bill since he vetoed it last spring.

Mr. Roosevelt turned the query aside by asking if there was such bill. When assured there was, the president suggested the best policy would lie to wait and see what kind of bonus legislation is put forward. Tlie Palman bill, which Mr. Roosevelt, vetoed, is due to be taken up in the house on January 13, because of a petition signer! by a majority of the members at the close of the last president's veto last spring, and only by a narrow margin was he upheld in the Semite.
