BEHIND THE SCENES IN WASHINGTON
By Rodney Dutcher
WASHINGTON, — One of the chief sideshows of the
presidential campaign, although many of the most im
portant movements therein won’t be visible on the sur
face, i^ a grim struggle for the speakership of the next
House of Representatives.
Technically, at least, this is a contest for the Dem
ocratic floor leadership. But politicians are figuring
cold-bloodedly that the poor health of Speaker William
Bankhead of Alabama, former floor leader who succeed
ed the late Speaker Joseph W. Byrns, will not permit
. him to occupy the floor leadership for very long.
The candidates are Congressman Sam Rayburn of
Texas, backed tacitly by the administration, and Con
gressman John J O’Connor, Tammany representative
from New York.
ttayourn is cnairman ot the House interstate com
merce committee and O’Connor is chairman of the
much more powerful rules committee.
Rayburn is off to a good start through his appoint
ment as chief of the Democratic speakers’ bureau for
the campaign. Hard-pressed Democrats in many states
will soon be beseeching him for oratorical aid and he
will make many more friends in the House before the
campaign is over.
O'Connor, meanwhile, has been stepping out bold
ly toward his goal. After the New York delegation in
Philadelphia had caucused and agreed to vote for ab
rogation of the two-thirds rule as desired by Roose
velt, O’Connor cast his vote in the convention rules
committee against abrogation. He said he had never
heard of the caucus action, but it is commonly assumed
that he was seeking personal support from the south.
O’Connor’s friends also engineered publication in
an Atlanta newspaper of an editorial saying that the
South mustn’t be too greedy and that the House lead
ership should go to a northerner. They have since been
circulating copies widely.
One important aspect of the speakership is that if
Roosevelt should be beaten,.the House probably would
still be Democratic and the speaker would be his par
ty’s most highly-placed spokesman and leader.
Talk in the state of Washington recently by left
wing Democrats about a vote to recall Senator Lew I
Schwellembach arises from another convention inciden ..

.Schwellenbach to the resolutions committee, and order
ed him to fight in committee for a production-for-use
plank and the Townsend plan and, if unsuccessful, to
carry the fight to the convention floor.
The caucus was held while the senator was making
a radio speech and he felt it had been called at this time
on purpose.
So Schwellenbach told his political buddies to “go
take a dive” and spent most of convention week at At- j
lantic City He wouldn’t have minded battling for a pro
duction-for-use plank, but drew the line at embarrass
ing the administration by a hopeless floor fight for the
Townsend plan.
“Though I’ve listened to lots of jazz, I’m no sav
age, no tearer-up-of-the-social fabric,” says Paul White
man. Still we’d hate to have him sit on our davenport.
For the new Dionne baby, there’s one grain of
comfort. Not many boys will have his opportunity—|
of shaking down big sisters’ five young men.
It is illegal in Alabama to sprinkle salt on railroad
tracks, which seems a queer way to catch a train any
way.

A Detroiter complains he had a tooth pulled two
months ago, and still has a ringing in his ear. He
might answer the dentist, and tell him he’ll pay the bill.
