Behind The Scenes At Washington
Washington, March —
(Copyright, 1936, by NEA)
If gossip nominated presi
dential candidates, Su
preme Court Justice Owen
J. Roberts would be as like
3y a Republican possibility
as anyone.
There’s a choice report
going around in rather ex
alted circles that Roberts,
asked recently by a friend
whether he would accept
the nomination if it came to
him, replied that no man
could duck such responsib
ility.
Prominent Pennsylvania
Republicans are said to be
especially interested. Ro
berts was one of them once.
Bosses in other eastern slat
es also have been thinking
about it. Roberts has be- i
come the hero of anti-New
Deal forces through his
majority opinions against
New Deal laws.
It can’t be said definitely
whether Roberts has been
sounded out. But no con
vention will nominate a
man unless party leaders
are certain in advance of
his acceptance.
In 1916 it was William
Howard Taft—not then on
the bench—who first ap
proached Justice Charles
Evans Hughes. After that
George Perkins, the ex
Morgan partner and finan
cial angel to Teddy Roose
velt’s Bull Moose campaign
did the go-between work
with Hughes and the polit
icos.
The Social Security Board
is about to acquire an econ
>mie adviser who will study
its vast program in opera
tion. and consumers will
have still another cham
pion to represent them in

Walter Hamilton will re
sign as director of the Con
sumers’ Division to accept
the Social Security appoint
ment. He will be replaced
by Clarence Ayers, chair
man of the economics de
partment ai University of
Texas.
Hamilton is a professor
of law and economics at
Yale. He was a member of
the National Industrial Re
covery Board and recently
has directed a notable ser
ies of price studies for a
special cabinet committee.
His aim is to make a con
structive attack on insecur
ity and his job will be to
locate weak spots in the
present program and to
study the problems which
it doesn’t reach.
He regards the problem
of reducing the volume of
unemployment both as.im
perative and as falling with
in the federal security pro
gram’s scope of study.
Ayers was associated
with Hamilton on the Am
herst College staff.

retary of the Treasury not,
as most reports said, be
cause of disagreement with
Roosevelt’s fiscal policies.
He quit because he could
n’t get along with Secre-,
tary Henry Morgenthau,
who, it has been said, tends
sometimes to become arro
gant and difficult.
Assistant Secretary,
“Chip” Robert quit after
certain suggestions. Prac
tically all his former duties
had been taken away.
Coolidge’s resignation
leaves Asst’ Secretary Jose
phine Roche, who has noth
ing to do with fiscal affairs,
as t he person with the most
ability in the Treasury.;
Roosevelt runs the Treas
ury from the White House
& under him the secretary
will always be a '.s' adow
man.
