SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1939. IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH, SEVEN THE NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG "NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS" lOootinuio trgm DMI out i President Roosevelt reorganizes government in accord with the secretary of the interior's private scheming. Mr. Ickes yearns to be known as the "big tree, bird and fish man" of the United States. The impulsive Chicagoan has cast longing glances for years on Henry Wallace's forestry bureau and the biological survey, also on the bureau of fisheries that is now lodged in the department of commerce.

If Harold can steal these agencies from his cabinet rivals, he will be the happiest man on earth. Though he has Issued an order barring his subordinates from lobbying for or against proposed changes, he is conducting a quiet campaign to shift these three agencies into the department of the interior. Washington is awaiting FDR's decision anxiously for the light it will cast on his attitude toward these three Ickss, Wallace and Hopkins. While Mr. Ickes seems to be sitting high on the presidential knee these days, betting is even that Harry and Henry circumvent him.

He may get the not the birds and fishes. of J. attaches acquainted with earlier chapters Of the case are chuckling over Attorney General Murphy's aggressive prosecution of a prominent easterner a Republican known lor his editorial attacks upon the new deal and all its works. It shows what kind of a man this fellow Murphy is. Several years ago the Penusyl- vanian was cited to the D.

of J. as an alleged violator of certain laws income tax. He engaged a prominent Democratic lawyer-lobbyist at a close friend of former Attorney General Cummings, and soon he received an invitation to a White House dinner to the members of the supreme court.

Nevertheless, Washington wonders whether Mr. Murphy will turn his attention toward certain prominent Democrats friendly to the new deal who have been charged openly with consorting with underworld figures. The A. G. says he'll go after them, no matter what party they belong to, and the capital believes him.

Just the same, everybody is wondering when he is going to start after these new deal politicos. Roosevelt is quietly reinforcing America's military and diplomatic ramparts hi the troubled countries of the Balkans. He is sending some of bur smartest observers to that section of the world where Herr Hitler may make his next move. For years Washington has been assigning second-raters to these contributors, state department veterans, youngsters recently apprenticed to the diplomatic service. The experts were reserved for such world capitals as London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Tokyo, But now, although It is not being advertised for obvious reasons, Secretary Hull is shifting some of his crack scouts to the peninsula where the World War was born.

Secretaries Swanson and Woodring are rushing naval and military observers to that area for the first time. Fact is that our diplomatic setup has been so reorganized that it is perhaps the most efficient in our only a few exceptions hardly worth mentioning. FDR has long advocated creation of a skilled career personnel, and except for Kennedy in London, Roper in Canada, and a few others, trained diplomats represent Uncle Sam in every important world capital. trying to find a new job for Harry Hopkins. Latest report is that Senator Herring of Iowa will after the present that Mr.

Hopkins will be named to succeed him. The proposed shift explains why Mr. Hopkins recently fresh attacks on the private utility industry from several different angles. The chief villain of the the standpoint of power Benjamin Cohen. This doesn't mean the familiar team of Corcoran and Cohen either.

The ebullient Tommy is sitting out this dance, possibly because he feels that he has been too conspicuous in the past, while his silent partner carries on efficiently. Ray Tucker recently noted from Washington that Cohen has been active behind the scenes of the FPC. He is also the principal inspiration of the SEC's current anti-utility activities. Cohen is a sincere believer in public ownership of electric power. He takes the position that no opportunity should be lost to further the to heck with "business He Is the real author of the $600,000,000 power grid he was of the holding company act.

He plods where Corcoran sparkles, but by that very token utility people rate him the more dangerous of the pair. President Roosevelt made a shrewd move in appointing Dr. William M. Leiserson to the National Labor Relations Board in place of Donald Wakefleld Smith. No choice could have been better for the purpose of allaying criticism of the Board's alleged favoritism towards the of heading off the AF of drive for a new Board of five members to replace the present one.

Dr. Leiserson has had long experience in the mediation of labor disputes. He is slow and deliberate in manner, wise and witty in speech and judicial in temperament. He helped to settle many labor quarrels while he was a professor of Antioch College from 1925-37. Both rail labor unions and rail managements hated to see him leave the Railway Mediation Board is a tribute to Ms fairness.

Insiders understand that he may return to that comparatively peaceful post if and when he succeeds in quieting the storm that rages around the NLRB. took up residence in the state of his birth.

New York BY JAMES MCMULLIN This column reported yesterday that the Federal Power Commission and the Securities A Exchange Commission are mapping Swing Out Tonight To the Music of Donna Johnson At the Swing Where You Always Have a Good Time. ENJOT OCR Open All Night Swing Club Northwestern Depot Nrnrort Night Spot selection of the Marquis of Lothian as the new British Ambassador to the United States was an astute one in some respects.

The Marquis has always 'been a strong advocate of close cooperation between this country and his own. He has even shocked his colleagues In the House of Lords on several occasions by public reference to a subject tabooed in polite debt to the U.S. His position has been that Britain ought at least to make some gesture towards payment In order to cement American goodwill. He has also expressed the belief that an Anglo-American combination to "police" the world would be the best possible guarantee of peace and stability. In other matters, the new.

Ambassador has not been so consistent. For a while he was an.ardent admirer of Woodrow Wilson and a supporter of the League of Nations and "collective After Hitler came to power, he hooke up with the "Cliveden set" and wa all in favor of a British rappro achement with Germany. Lately changed his mind again and ha been urging a British-Russian liance to hold Hitler in check These shifts appear to indicate tha he is a first-rate opportunist. As plain Philip Kerr (he inherit ed his title from a cousin in 1930 the Marquis served as private sec retary to Prime Minister Davi Lloyd George from 1916 to 1921 Cynics comment that he learne the uses of expediency from a mas ter of it.

That's the chief reason hi was chosen for the vital Washington post. As we reported severa months ago, the possibility of sending Anthony Eden to the U. 8. as Sir Ronald Lindsay's successor was seriously discussed in London lasl winter.

Anthony was finally dropped from the picture for two reasons One was that his services may be required in England if certain Cabinet changes now being plannec are made. The other was a private fear in high British government circles that Eden might not measure up to the assignment. He was known to be popular in this country, but there was some doubt about the public reaction here when Americans came to realize that his tilt with Chamberlain on foreign policy was pretty much a sham battle. It would not long have remained a secret that Eden, after resigning from the government, never once voted against it as a member of the House of Commons. One Englishman familiar with U.

S. psychology is reported to have warned his fellow officials that Americans like their fighters to be on the level. STRONGER Senator Bennett C. Clark (Mo.) succeeded in getting himself named to the senate Foreign Relations Committee, despite strong undercover opposition from the administration. Now that William E.

Borah and Hiram Johnson have aged, Clark Is the most vigorous and outstanding advocate of isolation on Capitol Hill. His new post will put him hi a much stronger position to thwart any plans President Roosevelt may have for committing the U. 8. to support England France in a European war.
