ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH JULY 16, 1935 rST. LOUIS POST-DISPArCH. -t'AGE '63 QkeDAILYAmsUINfiTON SOCIAL ACTIVITIES WC ft Merry By DItEW AIISON WASHINGTON, July 16. DON'T be surprised if a fullblown inflation scheme suddenly drops out of the blue to the floor of the House.

The uproar over lobbying and taxation has obscured the comatose Frazier-Lemke bill to refinance farm mortgages with $3,000,000,000 of greenbacks, but its backers are within a hair's' breadth of forcing Congressional consideration. They have 204 names on a "discharge" petition to bring the bill before the House. Twelve more will do the trick. Administration floor leaders, all dead-set against the bill, are in a state of jitters. Some time ago, they thought they had it gathering dus in a committee pigeonhole, when suddenly they discovered that its sponsors had 189 names on a petition to force the measure on to the floor.

The leaders hurriedly swung into action. By various means, especially whispered intimations that the President would veto the bill if it came to him, they persuaded 12 of the signers to withdraw. It looked like the inflationists were definitely stopped. But they countered with a bold move of their own. They organized a committee and sent it to call on the President for a face-to-face showdown on the veto report.

The President told the committee that he had authorized no one to say he would reject the measure if it was enacted. With this weapon In their hands the inflationists renewed their drive, and are daily drawing clo'ser to the goal of the necessary 216 names. One thing is certain: If the inflationists succeed in bringing the bill to the floor, its passage is a foregone conclusion. All but 30 members from districts west of the Mississippi River are favorable to the legislation. This is more than enough to assure approval.

Careful. WHEN New York's bushy-haired Royal S. Copeland the Senate floor, the page boys now bring in a pitcher. Reason for this is a sad experience that befell one of the youngsters. Copeland was making one of his long, dry harangues when he snapped his fingers at a page and ordered a glass of water.

The boy was back in a few moments with a brimming tumbler. Just as he was about to deposit it on Copeland's desk, the gesticulating Senator suddenly swung his arm, dashed the glass from the page's hand. The little fellow fled from the chamber. A few minutes later, another page appeared carrying a pitcher and an empty glass. The last he deposited on Copeland's desk and filled from the pitcher.

Up the Flue. THE number of New Deal agencies which have died at birth is revealing. The fact is being kept a secret, but another of them has just gone up the flue. The evaporated experiment was the highly touted Consumers' Division of the National Emergency Council. Created by an executive order more than a year ago, it was heralded as the fountain-head of a grandiose plan under which State and local bodies would organize to protect consumers' interests from price gouging.

Under the bustling direction of tha lae Mrs. Mary Harriman Rumsey, a large staff was assembled and a militant campaign for consumer protection outlined. But the crusade never material-, MRS.

NELSON QF 1022 Hampton drive. Hampton Normandie for a summer visit routine to that!) to "Anchors Aweigh." more or less identified now with the executive branch of the Government. Gil Lamb, in the role which was the late Jack Donahue's, has been turned loose to do what he can with "Sunny." He is one of the evening's delights. Eternally clowning with that long, elastic bodv of his. he still leaves no doubt that he is one of most skilled dancers ever to come to the park.

Teamed up with him is the grand little comedienne, Audrey Christie, giving every bit of energy to an unproductive role. In John Sheehan, Municipal Opera has dug up an excellent comedian. Sunny's Swiss father this week, he adopts a Baron Munchausen accent quite in contrast to his Pooch Kearney and Guy Tabarie. He gets his share of the laughs. Staging of "Sunny," except for the opening scene at the circus, is done beautifully.

The deck of the ship (with a forest of cottonwoods close off starboard), a modernistic gymnasium, a poppy field at the hunt club with a stage full of "pink" coats keep up Raymond Sovey's excellent work as scene designer. Marjorie Peterson, as "Sunny," makes her entrance on a dairy company's white horse; three horses in the hunt scene keep the audience in jitters until they are led off. Trained does, acrobats and a juggler lend reality to the circus. JERRY GOFF and Miss Peterson sing "Sunny" and "Who," both hits from the original show but now more than a little shopworn, especially after "Sunny" goes through a score of performances by the orchestra. Rosemary Deering, popular in past seasons, came back last night in a dance specialty which her a hearty greeting.

IN every season of Municipal Opera, some shows are bound to be classed as minor accomplishments. It is a result of the old law of averages and finds expression in such philosophy as "You can't all be first." "Sunny," which opened last night, probably will finish the race with the field. For the pleasures to be derived from it are occasional, rather than continuous as they were News," the tip-top show of these first seven weeks. "Sunny" has several very pretty stage pictures, several good songs, a scattering of comedy lines and dance specialties, drawn in by the hair of the head but still acceptable.

Last night, as an added attraction for one performance, there was a total eclipse of the moon, and if good luck comes from looking at the heavenly, body over one's shoulder, fortune is going to smile all over her face in St. Louis. For "Sunny," or the eclipse, drew 9800 persons to the park last night, the largest opening house of the season. And with the celestial manifestation in excellent view over the center pergola at the top of the hill, the audience took up slack in the show by turning around and looking. At the end of Act it faced the top of the hill almost automatically.

The suprising thing about "Sunny" is that so little of it could be of value to Municipal Opera, playing it for the first time in St. Louis. True, the musical comedy which made theatrical history a decade ago had, as its star, one of the loveliest luminaries ever on the boards. Marilyn Miller was "Sunny." That probably says everything. WHAT drew most applause last night was, equally surprising, not even in the original show.

Two songs, "Be Still My Heart" and and "Lullaby of Broadway." Gertrude Niesen, whose individuality and rich voice have built up a following for her in the last few weeks, sings them with "full-throated ease," in the manner of 1935. "Lullaby of Broadway," which, by the way, comes to us from the movie musical. "Gold Dippers 1935," has been worked into a chor us number reminiscent of its screen predecessor.

They have grown so great that they themselves are economic governments affecting our lives even more than political governments, and we can't permit that. Furthermore, it was exactly this centralization of control, destruction of small enterprise, industrialism and mechanization run riot, which created the crash of 1929, prolonged depression and destroyed employment in this country. We cannot abandon ourselves to it. It must somehow be controlled in the public interest.

After Mrs. Rumsey's death latr last year, the agency went into complete eclipse. Most of the staff remained on the payroll. This continued until Frank Walker resumed command of the NEC.

The reason why the deliberations of the Senate are not begun with prayer on some days is this: Under Senate rules, unless the chamber adjourns at the close of its day's work the legislative day carries over into the next day.

(CopTight, 1935.) either to defend or attack it intelligently. But I am dead sure that this urging of a resumption of the pre-NRA trend toward concentration of all business in this country in the hands of a few large corporations is a vital, living, issue which ought to be 'ought to a finish right now.

There is no doubt of the value of mass production in reducing price. There is equally no doubt that it reduces price by destroying jobs. Low prices are a goal. Jobs for all willing workers are also a goal. The true policy would seem to be to balance and control one tendency against the other to reduce price just as far as that is possible, without destroying so much employment that mass production is useless because there is no market for its output.

Exactly that nationwide tendency destroyed (fir domestic market and is responsible for our present plight. You won't get an answer to this problem from Alfred Sloan or any other man whose responsibility is the success of one large corporate group as against another. He can't possibly see that problem in any other light than that of his duty to his own corporation.
