LI SHUT T. RAINEf, Teteran con-
*1 rreMinan from Illli
freMman from Illlnola and speak
er of the boast, died unexpectedly In a
St Louis hospital where he was be-
■ iieved to be recorer-
Ing from an attack of
bronchial pneumonia.
The Immediate cause
of his death was an
gina pectoris. Mr.
Rainer, who was with-
Henry T.
Rainey .>
K ? '\
Inaday of being seven
ty-four rears old, was
first elected to con
gress In 1902, and he
served continuously
with the exception of
one ter A, being de
feated In the Harding
landslide of 1920. He was elected to
the speakership when John Nance
Garner became Vice President. His
control over the house during the ses
sions of last year and this year, while
the President’s program was being
put through, was gentle but so firm
that the legislators were kept well In
line. .
Mr. Rainey devoted much of his
service In Washington to efforts to Im
prove the condition of the farmers,
for he held that farm prosperity was
essential In any program for national
well being. He also was a student of
tariff and fiscal subjects. As a Demo
crat he was always a “regular." Ha
was the author of the tariff commis
sion taw and of much other Impor
tant legislation.
Mrs. Rainey acted as her husband’s
secretary for years ant} is so ju?U »C*

were attended by President Roosevelt

S PEAKER RAINEY S death will re
sult In a spirited contest among, a
number of men who are ambitious to
succeed him. First In the line of suc
cession, ao, to speak,
is Representative Jos
eph VV. R.vrns of Ten
nessee, who has been
serving as majority
floor leader and who
Is head of the Demo
cratic national con
gressional committee.
President Roosevelt is
going to take no part
In the race, but the
more liberal of the
New Dealers are
Byrne known to favor Sam
Rayburn of Texas. Well Informed ob
servers believe Byrns will be elected
speaker and Rayburn floor leader.
Other aspirants for the speakership
are John E. Rankin of Mississippi,
who has announced his candidacy;
William R. Bankhead of Alabama, and
John J. O’Connor of New York.
Mr. Byrns has been a member of the
house continuously since his election
to the Slxty-flrst congress. His work
as floor leader, In conjunction with
Rainey’s rule as speaker, was not es
pecially pleasing to the New Dealers
for some months during the last ses
sion, but b^ore adjournment most of
the misunderstandings were cleared
np. In any case, the administration
seldom Interferes In the selection of
the leaders of congress, not wishing
to Incur the enmity of powerful mem
bers of the party.
R eturning from his swift trip to
attend the funeral of Mr. Rainey,
the President went directly back To"
Washington Instead of going to his
Hyde Park home. This change In plan
[sfic
was due. It was said, to the develop
ment of a bitter dispute between Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson on one side and Don
ald Rlchberg, Mr. Roosevelt’s chief In
dustrial adviser, and Secretary of La
bor Perkins on the other, over the new
structure to be given the NRA.
The Issue, It was disclosed. Is wheth-

Sidney Hillman, labor advisory

publicans almost equally prominent,
and one leading Industrialist, all of
them of conservative tendencies, have
united to organize the
American Liberty

The five founders of
the league are: Al

1928 and Roosevelt In 1932. They be

For president of the organization the
founders selected Jouett Shoyse. for
mer chairman of the Democratic na
tional committee and president of the
Association Against the Prohibuioo
Amendment until repeal was ac-com
pllshed. In a statement Mr. KbouM
set forth the puritoses of the league
as follows:
"It Is a nonpartisan organization,
formed, as elated In its charter, ’to
defend and uphold the Constitution
of the United States and to gather
and disseminate Information that (1)
will teach the necessity of respect for
the rights of persons and property as
fundamental to every successful form
of government, and (2) will teach the
duty of government to encourage and
protect Individual and group initiative

Mr. Davis said, "by the extreme

was to measure them by the bumper

with high prices so that everybody felt N

Mr. Davis outlined what the gov
ernment was attempting to do since Its
policy has been changed and since in-

drcumatancea first hand, Mr, Roose

whatever proposal he makes.
Observers here, however, foresee
some dangers, ss a resnlt of the pres
ent desperate conditions. They know
that Mr. Roosevelt will, as he has fre

astute observers here is that some of

The thing about the remarks which.
Mr. Davis uttered that appealed to me
apd to numerous other Washington ob
servers was the candor with which he
treated the problems. He made no at
tempt la this conversation nor has he
done so in several speeches he has
made lately to use language that was
hysterical For an example of what I
mean, dispatches coming from Presi
dent Roosevelt’s train on hia homeward
trip across the northern half of thla
these dispatches credited an emergency
relief efilctal with tbe statement that
Gw drouth had coat Gw farmers fire

would be placed on an nndne rise to
prices would be closer supervision of
the grain markets. Any Indications of
manipulation In.those markets will be
dealt with snmmarily, according to
Mr. Wallace.
The circumstances surrounding price
questions, however, have caused many
observers to aak for further exposition
of the admlnistraGon’s policies tn this
