Most insiders are betting on recogni-
ton within two weeks after Litvinoff
arrives. That means month from
now.
The funny side of Mr.. Roosevelt's
Russian move is that he based it on the
idea that we could not communicate
practically with Russia. And he made
that the main point in a communica-
ton to Kalinin, which seems to have
reached Kalinin all right, because a
prompt response came back.

The sorority boys in the protocol divi-
sion are in dutter about what to wear
when Litvinoh comes. The height Of
the hat is supposed to mean something
in diplomacy, and it becomes quite a

Humphreys Dismissal
May Liberalize Con-
servatives in Posts.
BY PAUL MALLON.


Conservatives on the independent
non partisan commissions around town
have developed strong pro-Roosevelt
leanings on the inside lately.
Intimates of these gentlemen report
that the Presidents dismissal of Will
liam E. Humphrey, conservative Re
publican, from the Federal Trade Com
mission has had a widespread psyche
logical effect.
They beliepe Mr.. Roosevelt Dill
haue no trouble DhateUer here

Interstate Commerce and Tariff
Commissions, as tDell as Federal
Trade.
After all. $8,500 jobs do not grow on
trees these days. Even conservatives
and Republicans have wives and chill
dren who must be considered.
Times Have Changed.
These men have heretofore considered
themselves beyond the reach of the
President or any one else Their jobs
are semi judicial. They have resisted
Presidents on many occasions Their
terms have a specific time to run under
the law
What the Humphrey case showed
them was that the law does not count
for the present. Courts will ultimately
determine their standing in reference
to the President, but that will be
months hence.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA, October 24.-Reinforce-
ments remained at the police station
and soldiers rearranged machine guns
and sandbags inside the palace as
partially effective commercial strike dis
rupted business in Havana today.
The strike did not become general, as
had been planned. largely because of
the governments firm counter actions,
including the appeal of President Grau
to the city's wavering merchants.
He told them the movement for gen.
eral tie-up was political rather than
labor action and prevailed upon many
to remain outside the ranks of the
strikers. However, a number Of estab-
lishments closed.
Meanwhile the railroad strike con-
tinued. with indications it might result
eventually in general strike in the
city Of Mantanzas, about 40 miles from
Havana
1t was reported reliably that President
Graus student supporters told him he
must decide whether he or Col. Full
gencio Batista is to be President.
They added, 1t was said, that If Grau
proposed to remain in power he should
prove 1t by dropping Secretary of the
Interior Guiteras from the cabinet and
removing Ulciceno Franco as chief of
police.
Havana commerce was closed. except
cafes, saloons and grocery stores. Many
of them planned to close at noon. No
disorders were reported.
Magistrate Juan Manuel Valdes An
ciano, special judge of the National
Court Of Sanctions, today ordered the
attachment Of five country estates
owned by former President Machado.
The estates are in the suburbs OF
Machado. In addition. Judge Valdes
Anciano attached $500 900 of Machado's
money found in bank holdings and an
nounced he was seeking to determine
whether certain estates in the prov
inces are owned by corporations, as
listed, or are the property of Machado.

sistant to Hull He is the man who
made q secret trip to Europe last
Spring. You may remember the Sen

publican Senator Robinson smelled a
war debt deal and shouted charges all
over the chamber.
Bullitt's real mission abroad was to
sound out European governments as to
how they were getting along with the
Reds His report was favorable.
Hulls personal contact with the sub
ject was largely confined to conferences
in London with M. Litvinoff and Sir
John Simon during the late lamented
Economic Conference.
His report is supposed to have been
less favorable than Bullitt's. That was
because Sir John filled Hull full of the
troubles England was then having
about British engineers being tried for

Gossips Are Unfair.

Hulls incidental part in the Russian
program is being coupled with the fact
that war debts we're taken away from
him several weeks ago and given to the
Treasury. Gossips are concluding this
means Hull is on the shelf. That is
hardly fair statement.
A better way Of saying 1t is that Mr.
Roosevelt Is his own Secretary Of State.
The Treasury Department was the
logical place to handle the debt prob
lem. There the debts would be con-
sidered on a business basis and not as
an international diplomatic problem.
LikeUise the Russian policy is
one of Mr. RooseDelt's o1Cn pets.
He pas thinking about it and
working on it long before he
thought of Hull as Secretary of
State.
Russian recognition may stop the
threatened war between Japan and
Russia If nothing else does.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not have that idea
in mind He was more eager to quiet
the farmers here. But his program
means Russia will get credit in the
United States to purchase munitions
and armaments If she needs them.
Moderation Of japanese Far Eastern
policy may result.
The administration strictly cautioned
newsmen not to interpret the Presi-
dents Russian program as Russian
recognition.
Retreat Pathway Open.
One reason for that may haze
been to leaUe 1Ddy OF retreat
open il public reaction to the
rnoue should be bad. That is good
qenerdlship. Within the past
month, the American Legion. A. F.
of L. and many leading Catholics
haze opposed recognition.
However, it is inconceivable that the
coming negotiations will fall. The mat
ters at issue are too trivial to be serious
obstacles If both sides really want
