NEW YORK. March Dramatic
critics panned by congressional COM
mittee as know-nothings masqueradine
as know-it-alls, used some old newspa-
per files as ammunition for counter
panning today.
The files comment on play
"Schemers, produced in 1924. 1t was
written by Representative William
Sirovich. who made the motion yes
terday to invite the critics to explain
what was called their destructive criti-
cism.
The old clippings, recalled by some
of the critics, showed that Percy Ham,

point, entertainment nor humor."
Robert Garland of the World-Tel-
egram suggested last night that the
play be revived to show who is wrong

been known. He has the true mark OF
the master politician in the ability to
bioe his time
There isn't harder fighting man in
Washington than Garner, but he never
fights until he is ready. And he is that
way in everything. He never rushes
precipitately. In action he is tempes-
tuouS and slashing, but never out of
control His heat and ardor arise from
the intensity of his emotions, not from
lack of restraint.
There isn't cooler man in action
than Garner. He is creased lightning
in repartee. He always speaks ex-
temporaneously., but never until he has
crammed himself fully with informa-
ton on the subject Garner when on
the floor. spoke only occasionally, but
when he did the House flocked in to
listen.
Not only did he put on good show
with his colorful bluntness, but he
never failed to reveal vital and often
sensational information. A speech by
Garner in the House was always an
important occasion.
Demonstrates Sense of Opportune.
His fine sense OF the opportune was
strikingly demonstrated several sessions
ago. The Democratic floor leader at
that time was unpopular among the
members. He held the place through
seniority only. Garner was assistant
floor leader, and number of important
Democratic members sought him out
and urged him to permit them to run
him for the floor leadership.
Garner turned the enticing offer down
fiat. He didn't fear the fight but his
sound political judgment saw the whole
situation very clearly. Although gen.
orally disliked, the floor leader had
friends, and even If Garner had won he
would have created deep schism In
the party.
Secondly, it was only a matter of
time before he would step into the floor
leaders shoes He was next ranking
party leader, and his own reelection
was assured, for he hasn't had to cam
paign for many years. And finally, the
Democratic flood leadership really
wasn't worth anything then. 1t was
meaningless. The Republicans we're in

with the other members. He could af-
| ford to-the joke was not on him.
| Gamers is the gloved hand. but it Is
| steel and mailed underneath. His floor
leader and several other important
Democratic members delivered them
selves of extensive views bout taxes
| and other matters soon after the ses-
sion was convened. But that was the
last time they forgot themselves.
Garner summoned the gentlemen to
his office next day. What took place no
one knows exactly, of course. And the
men we're smiling pleasantly when they

! Is extremely significant that although
| all of them have been noted in the
past for their facility in making their

have maintained severe silence. And

mittee chairmen.
Self-Made and Self Educated.
Gamers harmonious domination of
the House is making speakership his
! tory. There have been other bosses of
the chamber but without exception
! they have ruled through the party lash.
| Garner has bare majority of three.
| A turn of the hand could put him out
of power.
But his hold on the House is equal to
| that of any leader in recent history
and it is all due to his extraordinary
skill In handling men and knowing the
game of politics.
He comes to this ability through long
years of experience and native ca
pacity. He is wholly self-made man
and in a large measure self-educated
He had very little formal schooling. He
studied law in small Office in Clarkes-
vile, Tex, at night, after punching cat
tie all day to support himself. He was
barely 20 when he was admitted to
the bar.
Four years later his neighbors in
Uvalde, Tex, elected him to the Legis
lature, where he served two terms and
first became interested in public finance.
He was 80 when he decided to buck
powerful local political machine and
run for the National House. The local
| boss thought Garner's candidacy a
joke.

roared.
Garner ran him into the ground. He
campaigned over the vast district, the
size of the State of New York, on
horseback. while Mrs. Garner addressed
letters and literature at home. He was
elected by good majority and has been
returned IS times without break since.
Liberal Party Man.
In Congress Garner has always been
party man, but with distinct liberal
leanings. He voted for the Norris Gov
ernment operation Muscle Shoals BILL
the Norris lame duck" session amend
ment and the Wagner unemployment
exchange bill, and when this session
was convened he declared himself for
Federal relief for the unemployed and
a huge public works program to stimu-

Cents Under Recent High
Point at Chicago

Chicago, Aug. 20.-(F-Wheat tum-
bled Saturday to about cents a
bushel under last weeks high point.
General selling was induced by re-
ports indicating that Great Britain
would establish cents preference on
wheat imported from British Empire
sources as against wheat originating
elsewhere. Weakness of the Winni-
peg wheat market had decidedly
unsettling influence here as the day
drew to an end.

One Of the largest houses in the
grain trade here issued a statement
saying the six cents preference given
British empire wheat had destroyed
the hope of regaining a share of the
English market for wheat.
Lowest prices for wheat here since
August were reached before down
turns were checked. For the first
time since that date. September
wheat contracts in Chicago dropped
to below so cents a bushel. At least
temporarily the market showed little
power to rally. Corn and oats fell

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Aug. 2O.-(P)-Stocks
and principal commodities backed
and filled in considerable confusion
during the last week, as they sought
to consolidate their position otter the
sweeping recovery from the low levels
OF June. but the bond market climbed
steadily higher.
In securities, the railroad issues
provided the high lights. In both
stocks and bonds many issues pushed
up to new top levels for the recovery.
Cotton made some further progress in
commodities, subject to interruptions.
but the action of wheat was disap-
pointing, that staple showing net
losses of to cents for the week
ended Friday.
The outstanding item of the weeks
corporate news. probably. was the Or
dering of the regular quarterly divi-
nend of $2.25 by director of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Co.
The announcement was preceded by
a substantial upswing in the stock
market which carried a number Of
issues to new top levels for the recov-
cry, but then more profit taking than
fresh buying appeared. Stocks
churned about without making i'm
portant progress either way in the
latter part Of the week. holding on
the average few points under the
top levels of the summer upSwing.
The expectantly awaited announce
ment of the final plans for the COM
modities credit corp. which finally
appeared toward the close of the
week, was obviously somewhat disap-
pointing to speculative quarters where
there had been gossip OF big pools"
in commodities. The stock market
appeared to have become highly COM
modify conscious and the setbacks IN
wheat were accompanied by consider
able selling Of shares.
The stock market appeared ia
tigued by its sweeping advance Of
previous weeks and in need Of a
breathing spell. Brokerage sentiment
remained predominantly bullish, but
traders showed greater readiness to
take profits and many seemed to feel
that more conclusive signs Of autumn
business recovery should precede a
further advance.
