Washington, Jan. 10. — President
Roo.sevelt tonight appeared^ to he
heading into a real clash with the
fledgling seventy-fifth congress over
his decision to taper off the New
Deal’s costly relief activities.
The fight, wiir come in both houses.
It will be led by a “bloc” of Western
senators and congressmen, who con-
tend that the administration’s propos

lief between now and the end of the
fiscal year, June 30, is woefully In-
Washingtpn, Jan. 11—The opening
of the nei;^ Congress was more like
a reomion of old friends than any
thing else. The great majority in
both houses/^ are old members who
were reelected. But it is a new Con^
gress—the 75th since the Constitu
tion was adopted—and nothing which
the previous Congress left unfinished
is any official concern of this one’s.

o Paper
Lauds College
The unique and progressive educa
tional program of Presbyterian col
lege has recently receiv^ attention
and very favorable comment from Dr.
John Evans, educational editor of 'Hw
Chitiigo Tribune. In the January 3 ia-
irue of that paper Dr. Evans voiced
his approval of P. C.’s program which
he traveled to South Carolina last
year to study.
Particularly does Dr. Evans praise
the work of Bernard H. Boyd in
breaking from tradiTStmai'tne^
instruction and establishing
Princetonian system of tutorial ovor-
aight for undergraduates, (^uotidg

maar “Mr. Boyd atatea

Dr. Evans supports tJiis effort be
cause of the a^ed atress placed on
creditable work rather than on correct
grammatical construction. '*

importance of this tyj^ of work at

Meantime, congress finds itself in

will begin hearings during the week
on the deficiency relief bill. It is ex-

get the measure ready for house ac

Tuesday President Roxwevelt will
send to congress a message accom
panying the report of his committee
on government reorganization. The
contents* of the report have been
guarded closely. But Mr. Roosevelt
had made it plain that no wholesale
economies might be expected in pro-
pofed ^ reorganization of federal bu
reaus.
In this he differs sharply with Sen
ator Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia, head
of a senate committee which has been
studying government reorganization.
The evideiice placed before his group,
Byrd said, had* convinced him “that
substantial economies--and- a definite
contribution to budget balancing pos
sibilities cin be realized in a' real,
practical reorganization of federal ac
tivities.”

, The line-up of Congressional fac
tions into North and South is not
strictly on geographical lines. It
arises, however, from resentment by
northern Democrats over the control
of the machinery and patronage of
Congress by the Southern members.
Most' of the important committee
chairmanships are held by southern
ers, representing predominantly rural
districts, and the Northern and East
ern members of the same party feel
that the interests of the industrial
cities from which most of them come
have not been given sufficient weight
by their colleagues from Dixie.

Colds cause more loss of time than
any other disease. Colds, influenza
and pneumonia are more prevalent
during wet weather as we have been
having during the past few weeks. Be
especially careful >to guard yourself.
The following are some^ good rules
to follow in guarding against these
diseases:
1. Avoid crowds and poorly venti
lated meeting places, during epidem
ics, and stay away from persons hav
ing colds, fif possible.
2. Keep your body built up by -eat
ing nourishing fo^, exercising in
sunshine, sleeping regularly, and
drinking plenty of water.
3. Bathe often,' preferal^ly with cold
water.
4. Wear sensible clbthirigT Put on

heated buildings.
5. Breathe through your nose at all
the President. He has th^ power—
more power than any of has prede
cessors ever had—to pre.<«uade Con
gress to do whatever he strongly
desires it to do. There will be more
independence of the Executive in this
Congress than in its predecessors.
There will also be less “rubber-
stamp” legislation. But, in the long
‘run, congressional acts will be in
close accord with the President’s de
sires.
' What the collective mind of Con
gress is chiefly concerned about is
the welfare of the masses, the work

groups. The question^ how the wel

As Mr. Robinson is the leader of the

considerable weight.
