When the stock market was In the
midst Of bad break which proved
ruinous to many, two brokers who were
caught In the pinch met and compared

some friends. "Who is her" asked the
first broker. The other took a good
look at the big fellow, whom he rec
ognized as a plunger who had made
a fortune, within few days. "Huh,"
he said, she's an optimist." "What

Senator Poindexter.

be determined, when defeat stares
us in the face" he cried, its great
satisfaction to know that we're only
behind schedule! What's the mat
ter with the schedule?"
Senator Hitchcock interrupted to
say that eat least 10000 combat
planes will be ready by July under
present calculations.
Declaring that calculations have
continually gone awry, Senator
PoindeXter retorted:
Scandal To World.
Things have come to such pass
as to be a scandal to the entire
world in MY Judgment.
Men high in the organization OF
the alrplane production board stated
to me that there seemed TO be in the
efforts to produce airplanes some
mysterious and unknown Influence
that is putting the blight on all eff
forts Of the board"
On behalf Of wealthy and influen-
tial persons in his state, the senator
said he offered to the board all the
spruce needed but the offer was re-
fused.
Il could have got this spruce nine
months ago" he declared, 'and 1t
could have been obtained for the
asking at a fair price"
At this point Senator Overman.
Democrat, of North Carolina, urged
Senator Poindexter to desist, say
ing such remarks only distress the
American people, adding that IT
was a time when men should work
together.
Senator PoindeXter retorted that II
conditions were such as had been re-
ported, IL was the duty Of every per-
son to see that they were correct

rs the senator here to criticize the
administration because Of mistakes
of some OF the men il has appoint
ed?" demanded Senator Overman. Il
ask, is this the proper time TO dis
courage the American people? J.
think we ought to correct these mis-
takes but they ought to be corrected
in a proper way"
Constructive criticism, Senator
Poindexter insisted, was proper and
that it was necessary ito call the
attention OF the people to this mys-
terious blight on the war program.

Senator New, Republican, Of In
