Washington Letter

BY THOMAS L. STOKES

(United Press Staff Correspondent)

WASl-IINGON, April Zia-The t-"ansfer of power in the House of Eepresentatlvesfrom the east where it has lodged ‘for years, to the west. or south ls one of the probaohztles resulting from the death of speak- cr 0:‘ the House Iongworth under whose urbane but; firm rule the east; OOIIUIILIGG its dounnstion against all chu"enge. .

If the Republicans control the next; House the western wing of the party wll make a strong bld for the Speakershlp, which the Ohio Speak- er transformed during his regime from the flgurehead post which the 1910 revolt left it‘ to s. place of com- mandlng power once again. And for several reasons the west; is better prepared to make its bid than ever before.

If the Democrats organize and control the next; House, the south wlll be squarely in the saddle again as it was most: recently in the Wil- son administration, and there is no question about that with the ener- getic and fiery Democratic Floor Leader John N. Garner of Texas ln llne for the Speakershlp and with soulsherners scheduled for other im- portant posts and virtually all of the committee chalrmanshlps.

In" Laps of Gods I Control of the next House ls in the laps of the Gods. The dctah of Loug- worth only made the final outcome more doubtful. If a democrat is re-

he rcprcscrltcd for 26 ycarsdand dc- moerats are prepared to make a vigorous fight-and the other two vacancies, _one in a normaiy demo- cratic stronghold, the other 1n a nor- mally Republican district, are filled as expected, then the count would stand 217 Republicans and 217 Dc- mocrats. The odd member upon whose strung young shoulders such respon- lsiulllty would fall, is Paul Kvalc,

farmer-labor representative from Minnesota. His vote would ‘decide which party would control the ,’Housc.

I Longworth was re-electcd last fall ,b_v only 3,507 majority in n total vote 10f over 97.000 1 l It is impossible '1 tell now h0\' the two parties will stand numerically alert December when the decision ‘must be made as there may bc oth- 'el~ deaths before that time. There are on on average oi l0 u your. Five have occurred thus far.

‘The possibility o1 new power for ‘the west, in event republicans con- itrni. is the most. interesting from 'many standpoints. Thus there would lbe rc-cnacted in the House n real "continuous cat. and dog fight between

‘ithc east. and the west: that has bc-t‘ lcome so familiar in the senate in the §

'lnst few years and reached its height. uhcre in the tariff battle.

i j Administration at Disadvunhgc

' Such a situation would be disad- l vantageous to the administration. There would be no assurance that a Speaker more néarly representing the west would swing his cohorts behind the-White House as Longworth did so often and so effectively to check- mate a recalcitrant senate-The Ohio

‘ Speaker delivered the vote as he

chose and with only one or two ex- ceptions he chose to back up the president. . . . . . . . .

Westerners bolted against the elec- Llon "of Longworth six years ago, ral- lying behind the late Martin Madden of- Illinois, chairman of the approp- riations committee, but the popular Ohioan beat; them ‘to it,‘ ondhls rule was unchallenged after that time. though there was asmall but noisy protest against eastern domination toward the end of the last. session.

This was an omen of what may come. For the west is in a better po- sltlon now. They have had the farm issue for years on which they were united. Now they have the oli ls- sue. Many western states want an embargo or a tariff on oil to protect the independent domestic industry, and the back and forward tug be- tween their representatives and those of the east in the closing days ‘of the last session taxed Longworths‘ powers of conciliation to the utmost. The east won out.

Western Bloc

The western bloc ls in a better position because o; the hair-line which will separate the parties num- erically when the session begins 1107f’. December. A handful already have made veiled threats of bollllrg the

iparty. Power to throw the control tol democrats resides in a small group,| and this can be effectively used us a wedge to get what they want.

The first: named suggested for Speaker are those of two castcrncrs, Republican Floor Leader John Q. Qullson of Connecticut and Chair- man Bertrand snell of New York of‘ the Rules Committee. Tllson lies in the natural order of succession. That; is the way lnngworth came up. But. ‘rllson has not the popularity that Longworth enjoyed. He was overrid- den by Longworth on the drought relief and soldier bonus loan issues last season.

Snell has made enemies by his re- fusal to permit: consideration of leg- islation upon the floor, upon which his committee has the final say-so. So the two eastern candidates are handicapped from the outset.

Koch Mentioned

1.1 mlg westerners mentioned for the Speakershlp are Representatives Hoch, Kans, who led the unsuccessful oil embargo fight; Ramseyer, Iowa, long a prominent member of the Ways and Means Committee, and Purnell, Ind., ranking republican on the ‘agricultural committee.

There is likely “to be a compromise on a candidate such as Hooper or Michener, both of Michigan, with more power given to the west on lm- portant committees.

The passing of Longworth may mean a disintegration of the power of the Speaker, which he built up a- gain purely through his personal in- fluence. in event Republicans con- trol. They have no really outstand- ing figure who can compare with Longworth nnd a compromise cand- idate may be necessary.

Immense Wealth. Of Match King

Friedrich Landon, United Press Stall Cuucsponll "ti

STOCKHOLM, April 2'1. - Ivur Krcugcr, who made a tiny safely match his symbol of success, still guides the policies of his far-flung interests as firmly toady as he did before the financial depression.

The "Match King's" factories in S\vcdcn nnd 29 other countries have been busy while other industries have lwon slowing down, for the world needs matches at all times.

At the some time, the Swedish Match Trust perhaps the greatest money-lending concern in the world, has continued to reap-profits from its loans to governments and rcall cs- tatc investments.

Krcugel‘ was 51 on lliurch His birthday marked the completion of a quarter of a century in the match in- dustry. When first he became in- terested in the manufacture of matches 25 years ago, he was llzc di- rector of only t.\vo small factories which had belonged to his Iulnily. Today he owns or controls 250 far.- torics in 30 countries. producing al- most 90 per cent of the world's lllixiCll supply.

Athictically Inclined

Krcugcl" ls the richest bachelor in the-world. Ho is n-clcan-shmvcn, al- most bald, but; boyish looking, ath- letically inclined and of a retiring disposition.

When someone asked him the sec- ret of his success, he rcpllrd:

"First, silence; second, more sil- ence; third, still more silence.

He has hardly ever violated this rule of life, even with intimate friends and relatives. Once, after a trip m‘ Havanafhls sister found a gold medal in his trunk. She asked him what it meant.

"Oh, it's just a souvenir of Hav- ana," he replied.

Afterwards it was discovered that Kreuger had received the nedal for diving off the ship and saving a child's life ln Havana harbor.

Started in Chicago

Kreugers first business venture was selling real estate in Chicago while still in her early twenties. Then he became an engineer and built; railroads and bridges in Illln- ois and latr in Mexico. In New York he learned American building tech- nique and construction methods. A few years later he constructed a. large hotel in Johannesburg, South Af- rica. _

At: 27 he returned to Sweden and founded the Kreuger and Toll Real Estate Company- That: concern still exists as participating company in the Swedish Match trust, the Swed- llsh Cellulose Company, nulncroug 1 mines, railroads, ‘Swedish and foreign

bunks.

Industry Threatened

In the period just before the war the Swedish match industry was threatened with ruin. [here v/ere 60 match companies, ‘cutting each others‘ throats for the home uuue and hardly ever venturing into for- clgn markets. The only step toward rationalization was the nlnalgalnu- tion of several of the largest." concerns to form the Jocnkoeping and Vulcans Match Company with a capital of about $1,000,000.

When Krcugcl‘ took ovcl" ihc two factories, he surveyed the uzlirc Swedish industry. Ho. decided at once that the trouble was not in the production side of the industry but
