SHORT TERM CREDITS ARE APPROVED FOR GERMANY
Pipe-Loring Business Man Sounds America's Voice in
 Cermany's Crisis Council
By REID MONFORT

WASHINGTON, D. C., July B. Across the sombre stage of Ger many's grooming theatre of finance strides a quiet, successful business man, noted for the long hours he gives a serious role when the oc- casion demands.
 In his lighter moments, however, Frederic Moseley Sackett, Ameri- ca's ambassador to Germany, often debates with himself whether a big cigar or briar pipe is the bet ter smoke. He likes both. He also delights in golfing, boating and bowling.
 This former Senator from Ken lucky, transplanted native son of Rhode Island, rather jauntily wears his 62 years. His compact phy- sique of medium height carries much of youths elasticity. His studious grey eyes are clear, and his brown hair is almost frost free.
 Reserved, he always dresses con- servatively, seldom varying from sober suits. In fact, he is so we'd ded to dark clothes that his occa- sional summer garb of pongee draws comment from his co-work- CTS.
 Life at Home
 He is fond of a cozy chair at home with meaty books within easy reach. Although a member of many clubs, he prefers life at home where he and his wife. the former Olive Speed of Kentucky frequently entertain.
 There is zeSt for him in driving an automobile. But of late his American-made limousine with the Prussian license plate No. IA has been parked most of each day be- fore the official residence in Ber- lin of Chancellor Bruening or of Foreign Minister Gurus. Ger many's financial situation has elict- ed his full attention.
 Under less exacting duty he rel ishes the crash of toppling maple pins or the feel of driver and mid iron. His associates say he is pro- ficient in both sports.
 Wherever he is, he usually can haul forth a briar pipe or formid- able cigar. He sees to it that all places where he loiters long have an ample supply of both. Travelled Extensively
 The Sacketts, who are without children, have travelled extensively, making trips abroad practically every year for many years before MT. Sackett resigned from the Senate about IS months ago to &C., cept his present post.
 Son of wealthy Rhode Island woolen manufacturer, he was edu- cated at Brown university and Harvard Law School. He entered the coal business in Louisville di- rectly after his collegiate days and later extended his interests to the cement industry.
 Aside from being member of the Kentucky state board of chari- ties for four years and a federal i, administrator for two years, he never had held public office until elected to the United States Sen- ate nearly six years ago Although no orator in the pop ular sense, he has the reputation Of being armed with facts when he ascends a rostrum.
