A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
Sherman No
 Foe of South

What do you know about Wil- liam Tecumseh Sherman? < Chiefly. no doubt, that he made a very hard-boiled march through Georgia, and that he remarked that war is hell. Those two things are about all that most of us re- member.
 But the man was worthy of closer acquaintance; and Lloyd Lewis provides it in sherman, Fighting Prophet" 8 book which you might bear in mind as one of the very best biographies of the year.
 Sherman was a man of infinite contradictions. He loved and sym- pathized with the South, and he struck the blow that finally crushed the life out of the Confed- eracy. He hated war, but he made war terrible, with pitiless logic. He has stood for two generations as a symbol of hatred, to the South, but he actually tried more than any other Union general to put Lincoln's wise plans for re- conciliation into practice.
 A defender of slavery and a dis- believer in democracy, he epito- mixed the crushing triumph or raw democracy over the Southern aris- tocracy which was based on slav- cry. And, as MT Lewis remarks, he never fully won a battie-or lost campaign.
 We have here a remarkably broad and complete biography. It not only tells about Sherman; it pictures his time, and the forces that surrounded him, as they have not been pictured before. It is an extremely good book about a pro- foundly interesting character.
 Published by Harcourt-B Brace at $S.5O, the book is the December choice of the Book of the Month Cluh stl sFsa eI

ing Stevenson. The pistol wieIder was Charles Pace. Senate disbursine officer. He claims that Stevenson wronged him in q re- cent magazine article diseussing Senate fn- ances. No names were mentioned in the article but there was reference to an auto mobile purchased for Mir Pace as govern mental extravaganza. Recently Mir Pace has also taken over extra duties. SO friends are inclined to believe that mental strain plus overwork resulted in his temporary outburst last week. The Senate is investigating the matter. but doubtless will smooth things over. As for the newspaperman We have yet to hear. There is such thing as prudence in the face of wildly brandished firearms.

Washington--Co Comparative statis- tics are not available, but 1t seems safe to say that no congress has ever turned such a complete fip- flop as our currently lamented sev- enty-second in its treatment of prohibition.
 That, rather than the fact that the proposal for naked repeap lost out in the house, is the im- portant thing to remember unless you happen to De one of those un- identifiedS persons who have no in- terest in the wet-dry issue.
 The defeat of Speaker Jack Gar ner"s bold move to carry out the democratic platform promise even before the new democratic admin istration came into power was also important because it appears to guarantee a special session of con- gress soon after Roosevelt's inau- guration. And that session Is us certain as anything legislative can be certain to pass an amendment providing for straight repeal.
 This congress will have another chance to reverse itself on the sales tax, which 1t defeated last SCSS1Vh AA0 AS 1AOW lOBAAAdAAy 1GSOAhi mended by President Hoover with an apparently increased sentiment behind it. But nobody thinks the flop, if any, will be so overwhelrn- ing as the one on repeal. The house vote against the sales tax earlier this year was 236 to 160.
 The vote against the relatively moderate Beck-Linthicum repeal amendment earlier this year was 227 to 1S7 and the vote for the strong Garner resolution was 272 to IA. To measure the extent of the unprecedented flop it is neces-. sary to consider both the change of votes and the more drastic na- ture of the proposal which Garner tried to make the house swallow and like.
 It was shown that even in this present congress, overwhelmingly dry five months ago, there are more than the requisite two-thirds

Those Hunger Marchers

The invasion of Washington this winter by the first army of hunger marchers." has failed. It has been repelled much more promptly than the celebrated bonus march of the last congressional session, and by less questionable methods. The Washington DO lice were taking no chances this time. They let the invaders enter. but herded them into neighborhood where they could do no harm. drew cordon around them and kept them there under constant surveillance.

Why This Haste?

President Herbert Hoover has made plans to revolutionize the federal government. lie proposes many sweeping changes and con solidations which. if effected, would result in a great saving in expenditures On the whole they are recommendations that might well be considered and acted favorably upon by Congress But why should he have to wait until the last few months of his administra- ton to make them1 Weren't they as vital to the welfare of the nation and the pocket book of the taxpayer three years ago? They certainly must have been. Yet there was no word from the White House about economy in government until early this year.
 The way we regard the situation now MT Hoover should let any such revolutionary move. as he plans, await the action of the presdent-elec Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. While we confidently expect that Governor Roosevelt will likewise find the federal government sadly encumbered and overmanned he may have different views on creation of new secretariats, etc. And inas- much as he will be in office at least for the next four years he should have some say in the form of the government with which he will be surrounded. Better would 1t have been for the president to call in Governor Roosevelt for conference on such matters as this than upon that of international debts
 We don't intend to analyze the various proposals in the reorganization plan of President Hoover. That would be too lengthy a task, since he would consolidate ffty-eight executive agencies and bureaus at the same time creating four new assictant secretaries in three departments We confidently expect that Congress will fail to signify it's approv- al of the plan in toto. It may give some measure of support but certainly not com plete The executive orders automatically go into effect in 60 days or February 8, 1933, unless Congress rejects them. That would seem to indicate necessity upon the part of Congress to dissect the presidents message vsry thoroughly. It deserves it. At the same time Governor Roosevelt might be interro- gated for possible suggestions. It will be his administration after March 4, don't forget that.

 Defenses none must lessen, though his eyes Betray their motive. And mother wise In understanding either finds some praise For such an hour, silently obeys

"A sMILE's THE THING.

TOT WnOm the mOndTCn OI the rail obeys the least command. For though the mighty monarch hath power to domineer. His movements all are guided by a master engineer. So I like to lie and listen in my downy Pullman berth. For it's then the engines whistle seems the sweetest sound on earth. And soon its music lulls me to sweetly sleep and dream, Of the luxury of travel in these modern days of steam. And in the morning when wake with raging appetite. hie me to the. diner. and there. to my delight. I find service that compares, and choice of food that vies. With the menus of the best hotels. The food that satisfies. And later on, arriving safely at my journeys end. feel as though the railroad was a tried and trusted friend. Yes, I love a locomotive. and ohl @ I love to hear, The chiming of its whistle sounded by the engineer.

HARD TIMES IN HOLLYWOOD

A Hollywood Diamond Broker

 gains in Ham and Eggs.
 Our examination shows that his samples are considerable Bargains as Production Prices are firm at twice the money and will stay firm. The South African Government has forbidden nearly all mining until the depression distress Diamonds are reabsorbed. This action of the South African Government is a wonderful thing for everybody who owns diamonds, for those who want to sell and also those who want to buy, The seller can tell you what you must pay for new unusued goods of similar quality and the buyer knows that any less than this is temporary condition that will pass as son as normal demand returns. Unfortunately for those who must sell now, there are others in the same distressed condition, in numbers out of proportion to the demand and the forced selling has made temporary buyers 
 The above seems more true of certain sections of the country than others. In Hollywood it seems par ticularly so, as the disillusioned Sheiks and Queens have sold out and gone back in such large num- bers, Fur Goats and Diamonds have become quite a drug on the local market. Extreme as usual, Holly wood swung from the biggest buy CTS to the biggest sellers. The mar ket held firm for long while but has finally broken under the con- tinued selling.
