JIMMY WALKER
KEEPS MUM ON
CUSTER DEMAND
MuzzIes His Famous Wit
While Governor RooSe-
welt Studies Charges.

By Tinted Press
NEW YORK, March I9.-For the
hrst time in Mayor James J.
Walkers two terms in city hall
there was an abrupt ending today
OF the wise cracks" and ready wit
which made him famous.
Immediately after publication
Wednesday by Governor Roosevelt
Of the six general and ten specific
accusations of incompetence, laxity
and misfeasance in Office brought
gaainst the mayor by the city af-
fairs committee, Tammany Hall
leaders put through frantic tele-
phone call to Walker, who is vaca-
tioning in Palm Springs, Cal.
They told him, according to re-
ports, that the time for wisecrack-
ing was past. A summary of the
charges was read to him over the
telephone, and he was urged to
maintain complete silence concern
ing them.
Keeps Perfect Silence
Evidence that the mayor intended
TO follow their advice was given
later in the day, when he refused to
say anything about the charges to
newspaper men who called him
from New York.
Governor Roosevelt, whose deci-
sion on the charges will determine
whether or not an investigation will
be made into Walkers official acts,
has emphasized that he is acting
in strictly judicial capacity in the
matter.
He refused to make any comment
preceding announcement of his de-
cision, and warned against inquiries
or speculation.
Four Courses are Open
There are four possible courses
open to Governor Roosevelt.
He can refuse to act on the
charges.
He can call the mayor ION the
carpet" as soon as the latter re-
turns from California, reprimand
him, and threaten to remove him
unless he remedies conditions.
He can present the charges to
the legislature with the advice that
although the charges do not justify
removal proceedings, they are
grounds for investigation by a leg
islative commission.
He can await the adjournment of
the legislature, and, if it adjourns
without ordering an investigation,
appoint a commissioner to inVesti-
gate the charges against the mayor.
The Governor also may suspend
the mayor for thirty days pending
investigation OF the charges.

Pension Inequalities Before
Next Congress

The subject of pension inequalities to veterans
to be important subject in the next Congress It
has been made certain serious topic Of legislative
consideration by the of General Hines admin
iator of the Veterans Bureau that he will submit to Con-
gress plans for removal of inequalities something definite
and beneficial and of constructive value in of fu
ture
The Interpretation of existing laws depends much
the findings of medical boards and authorities the
tent Of disabilities of former service men, but there is wide
spread complaint to inequalities in pay due to lack Of
uniformity of action among officials who make the
ratings.
There has heretofore been failure the part of veterans
relief agencies to agree upon legislation different groups
having different views but the relief agencies have be-
single unit for presentation of demands to Congress
there cooperation it will have powerful influence in
Congress- which gets satisfaction out of dealing with split
up suggestions
Congress always disposed to iberaty in pension legs

heavy additional appropriations much attempts to re-
inequalities that justice may be done the poorest

do. We're so sure We know
more than children. It's such
a. nuisance to wait while they
fuss around. And, secretly, it's
SO fIatering to our egotism to
lay down the law. So instead
of letting the child make up
his own mind, we make it up
for him. And, as a conse-
uuence, little Willie grows up
with no more power of decision
than a jelly fish. And is a
bane to himself and a blight
to everyone who knows him for
the rest of his life.
"Well, maybe that's so," you
answer sadly. But my parents
didn't believe in those things
and they didn't train me.
What can I do now?"
Do Not Hesitate
You can do what your par
ents failed to do. Hesitation
isn't something that Fate has
hung on you for life. 1t is
only a habit-a Slovenly, men
tai habit. Begin to cure that
habit. Go about it as you'd go
about the curing Of any other
habit. If you were addicted
to biting your nails, what
would you do? You'd refuse
to bite them whenever the
urge came. And you'd fortify
that refusal by continually tell
ing yourself how disgusting
and deforming the habit of
nail biting was.
Then attack your hesitation
habit in the same way. The
next time you have to make
a decision. fight that urge to
fuss and tumble and postpone.
MAKE THE DECISION. MAKE
1T QUICKLY.
But maybe I'll make it
wrong!"
What Of It?
The chances are that you
WILL make it wrong-just a
youngster makes his decisions
wrong, when he is learning to
decide. But what of it? One
wrong decision-or a thousand
won't do you half as much
harm as a chronic habit of

cision. And, if it's wrong, stand
it like a sport. Don't waste

Hate to make up your mind
don't you?
Always did hate to. Gets
you all worked up. Sometimes
you'll worry yourself almost
sick, for days, just because you
know you've got to decide some
thing. Lots Of times you do
things you're actually ashamed
of give in when you
know you shouldn't in
order to get out of making a
decision. And lately it has
been getting worse. Seems as
if it took you hours to decide
which was the right thing to
do and you're worn out,
afterward. Makes it all the
harder, the way people get
exasperated and try to rush
you-
But it's no use their feeling

can't make my mind up quick,
like some folks. I'm naturally
slow-I was born that way and
I can't change"
It's. All Wrong
You're wrong, stranger.
You've grown that way but
you weren't born that way.
You were born with a flexible,
adjustable mind just as you

Unstable body. Your mind
could have been trained to
move quickly. just as your body
was trained to move quickly
but your parents lacked
the knowledge or the patience
to do it.

"How can a grown person train
a little child to make de-

BY letting that child make
up his own mind-which he is
more than willing to do. BY
encouraging him to make up
his mind. by attaching a pen

make it UP with reasonable
quicknesS. and by FORCING

of work; that these six mil
lion, having women and chill
dren, raises the number of
those in distress to as much
as twenty million.
And the committee on un-
employment of the New York
State Association warns that if
unprecedented suffering is to
be prevented this winter, pro-
grams of relief must be made
and acted upon "at once"
All Agencies of
Society Must Act
This means that all the
agencies of organized society
must act, and without delay.
During the first winter of dis
tress the Federal Government
appropriated less for public
work than the year before; last
winter a vast sum was appro-
priated for an elaborate pro-
gram of public work, but
months have passed and this
work has scarcely begun.
The reason Is that while
money can be appropriated
over night, it requires weeks
and months to get the plans,
specifications and blue prints
ready.
And this is due either to
the partisanship of the ad-
ministration, to its ignorance of
economic conditions, or to its
disturbing lack of foresight.
The Wagner Bill For
Unemployment Relief
Three years ago, in anticipa-
tion Of this very situation,
Senator Wagner offered his
bill on the stabilization of en-
ployment providing for ad-
vance planning of a vast
scheme of public works.
Had the measure passed at
the time, the plans would have
peen ready Wnen the appro-
priations were made last
winter; the work could have
begun in the spring; and a
great army of the jobless would
be at work today.
But the bill was opposed
through succeeding sessions of
Congress by the Administration
forces, and not accepted until
three years later. The result
is that the money for the
work is on hand, but the I'M
employed have not profited yet.
In signing the bill, Mr..
Hoover said it was a wise
measure; it would have been
wiser to have passed it in
1923.

A Solemn Warning
Is Sounded
We are reminded Of this
phase of the present situation
by the warning coming this
week from the annual confer
ence of the New York State
Association of Public Welfare
officials that we must prepare
for an even greater demand on
charity this coming winter.
Even though conditions begin
to brighten, the demand will be
as great or greater because all
those who have been upon
the streets will not get back to
work speedily. and great num-
bers, out of work, and hitherto
using their savings, will find
their resources gone.
America cannot afford to as
sumo a holiday spirit while be-
tween six and seven million
are out of work. 1t would be
