JULY 29, 1939 i The New Deal Setback Brooklyn Scenes Red HookPlay ground No. 75 You can come as close as anybody else to solving the third term puzzle, If you'll hold the 1939 Congressional Record up to the X-ray of history. The 1939 record all 20 pounds of it is proof that Presidential influence with Congress is on the down grade.

The President lost about as many big battles as he won on Capitol Hill this year, notably his fight to keep American foreign policy out of the strait-jacket of law. That's not a good sign for tha of his disciples, Madison and Monroe. As strong as they might have been in, their own right, Madison and Monroe both wr, in the modern vernacular, "Jefferson yes men," when it came to principles of government. Jackson's 'Yes Man' The fiery Jackson boosted Martin Van Buren into the saddle in the hope that the New York politician would carry on the struggle for "The People." Almost blind and suffering from tuberculosis, the ageing Jackson continued to write letters of advice and warning to Van Buren up to the end. Had he lived, he would have been woefully disappointed in his "yes man." For Van Buren could never say yes or no at the right time.

Although Theodore Roosevelt had not served two complete terms by 1908, he very frankly dictated his successor, William Howard Taft, to the Republican convention of that year. Like Jackson's Van Buren, Teddy Roosevelt's Taft was a sore dt-appointment to his mentor; far from the blueprint had tht Roosevelt "Square Deal" become by 1912 that the fighting Teddy himself stepped into the breach. But he was too late. Wilson's New Freedom carried the day. F.

D. R. Program Like all these, Franklin Roosevelt has introduced new principles and new Ideas. He's written a new labor law. He's put stock exchanges under the watchful eye of Government.

He's recognized relief of the unemployed as an obligation of Government And he's introduced the prince of social security. Some of these ideas, and the New Deal's methods of carrying them out, are under heavy lire, with only a year or so to go. If Congress keeps on getting rebel notions, the fire will grow heavier, as the end of the second term fev, jeai. As lona as Cnnerps lonal disagreements continue, he can't be sure that the New Deal will last beyond his two terms. Me win be apprehensive that part of this program, at least, will be discarded.

Franklin D. Roosevelt is definitely President with a purpose and a program. Few Presidents have had both a purpose and a program, or pattern, for carrying it out-Jefferson, Jackson, Wilson, Mr. Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Each raised a cry in' the land and tried to bend the will of the nation toward his Ideal. With Jefferson, it was the "Common with Jackson, "The with Teddy Roosevelt, the "Square with Wilson, the "New Freedom;" and with F. D. the "New Deal." Previous Fights It Is significant that our two greatest Presidents, Washington and Lincoln, were men with a purpose, but not a program. Their was to hold the nation together.

So engrossed were they in that task that they had precious little time to cut out patterns or programs for the future. Up to Franklin D. Roosevelt, every President with both a program and a purpose, save one, not only fought while in office to make them stick, but also carried the struggle beyond their tenure In the White House. Oddly enough, each chose the same course of action. Each put his chosen disciple in line for the White House, and then fought for the election if the disciple.

Only Wilson to do that, and it wasn't because he didn't want to. It was because he was a wreck, as one close to him expressed it, when the time came to choose a successor. Jefferson the one man who openly condemned the establishment of a line of succession in the White House actually held the reins in his own hand for 16 years, longer than any later President. So great was his influence when he stepped down, that he was able to dictate the nomination of two Reimer Denied Writ to Stay Street Project U. S.

Official Ob-jerted lo Work on Atlantic Ave. Siding Supreme Court Justice Meier Steinbrink yesterday denied the application of Immigration Commissioner Rudolph Reimer of 2 Montague Terrace for a temporary injunction to restrain the City of New York, the Transit Commission and the Long Island Railroad from undertaking work on the $23,000,000 Atlantic Ave. improvement project. Mr. Reimer claimed that his property rights would be violated by the elimination of a siding leading off.

the Atlantic Ave. railroad tracks between Van Slclen Ave. and Hen-drix St. The siding has been owned bv the Reimer family since 1881, he claimed. It is now rented for the use of a coalyard operator.

The enlarged Improvement plan, approved by the Board of Estimate on June 16, 1938, calls for the elimination of the grade crossing at East New York and other grade crossings, and for the depression of the Long Island Railroad tracks from East New York Ave. to Morris Park, NOT PROPER IS CLAIM Mr. Reimer pointed out that the project was proposed under the new constitutional amendment for grade crossing elimination and improvements incidental thereto. Proposed work on the siding in question does not properly come within the scope of the amendment, he contended. His appeal from the transit commission's order for the project is pending before the Appellate Division, and the commission, in opposing the injunction application, contended that Mr.

Reimer has thus already availed himself of one remedy and is not entitled to another. In his application, however, Mr. L. Reimer held that the Appellate Division ruling would not afford him full relief even if favorable. Answering this contention, Justice Stplnhriiit in ucvtoiuii puiULtri OUt that, thp Annallnl.

EXPLAINS RULING Justice Steinbrink stated further "While not passing directly on the Validity nf nlaintiff'c 1 a nugcu jnuiJ- erty rights, enough has been said lu "luicnie uiai mey nave not been established with that clarity required on a motion for temporary injunction." The major issue in point, he ruled was whether the transit commission had exceeded Its authority In its enlareed fr th definition of what was meant by "incidental ImDrovements necessary Because of such grade) elimination" was needed the justice stated. The language of the amendment is "incapable of precise definition." and "reasonable men might differ as to what is or is not 'incidental'," he pointed out.
