Tom Connally and the Grundy
Tariff

Sen. Tom Connslly Of Texas takes time by the fore
lock. He did not wait for the final enactment Of
that which is known as the Grundy tariff act This
is what he said.
The bill cannot be defended. II Is a cluster OF
unredeemed pledges. 1t is a bundle Of bargains and
betrayals. 1t breaks the presidents pledge contained
in his call for the extra session. Under the pre-
text Of revising the tariff as a measure Of farm re-
lief. the farmers and consumers generally are TO be
cropped more closely than ever before"
Sen. Connally. who gained a place on the tariff
claims finance committee soon after he entered the
senate, predicted the export debenture plan and the
substitute for the flexible provision would be sand
bagged in the conference committee. This is a big
business administration. This is a big business con-
gress.
This is a big business country. Twenty-one million
Americans voted for the big business ticket. Fifteen
million Americans voted for Alfred e. Smith and
Joseph Taylor Robinson. Why not give the people
what they want?

CHAPTER


Sunday afternoon, while Andree
was taking her nap, Bang and
Dixie went TO the movies.
EIanda was stretched out on the
couch reading for the fiftieth time
the big Sunday story Nelson Con-
nell had written about her, when
the doorbell rang.
1t was Suwanee.
"Oh, hello" she greeted him cas-
ually, where cid you blow In from?'
Il was taking q walk and I
thought I'd run in, where Is every
body?"
Movies" she sat down on the
couch and picked up the paper
again.
1t wasn't a warm welcome. SUI
vance felt ili-at-ease. But 1t was
the first chance he had had to be
with Elanda alone in days.
What is so interesting that you

He sat down beside her.
The Sunday story about me
Haven't you seen it?" She pointed
proudly. Look at that great big
cut-takes up half the first page OF
the radio section. Nelson did a
whole column story about me-"
Swell" Suwanee was genuinely
enthusiastic. Ats girl. You're
coming along. Nelson is a good
egg. Let me see It."
He smiled now and then as he
read.
Miss Lee Is from an old Southern
family that needs no introduction
below the Mason-Dixon line. When
she began The study Of voice IL was
not with the idea OF using IL for
anything moro than to do a parlor
trick now and then when company
came.
However. after she had studied
in Berlin a year when her mother
had her abroad studying German
in its native element. her voice
showed such promise that the pre-
JUDGE against a career for the
only daughter was broken down.
Hence. we now hear her on the air.
This Is another case where tele-
vision Is needed. Miss Lee could
grace the front line OF any chorus.

he had finished. LET me take an
other look at you. I'll have TO write
a song entitled: The Man Who
Knew Elanda Lee. That's Me'l'
She laughed-but there was a SUI
periority in her manner that anus
ed him. She might have been the
first girl in the world to have her
picture in the paper and get a
writeup. He thought he'd stick a
