Washington, Nov 2-(UP)-The
identity of President Roosevelt's
interpreting economist" who has
come to be something of a legen-
dairy character at the White House.
was revealed today. simultaneously
1t was disclosed that in his present
gold policy the president is not
needing the advice of this particu-
lar expert.
The Interpreting economist" is
w. w. Refer, tall and stocky with
thinning reddish hair. He was spe-
cialized in money and banking
since his graduation from Amherst
in 1920. Since that year and un-
til his transfer during the summer
to the Craftsmanship of the central
statistical board he has been with
the division of research and statis-
tics of the federal reserve board.
Refer belongs to the Sound
money" group among the econom-
ic advisers with whom Mr. Roose-
welt has surrounded himself. The
program for raising domestic COM
modify prices through gold pur-
chases came from the group which
veers toward infiationary policies.
ANiChCA Importance Us an al
ministrative economist was en-
phasized when, by executive order,
he was made economist for the ex-
ecutive council. the so-calIed "su-
per-cabinet" which brings together
heads of the various units in the
Roosevelt recovery program.
President Roosevelt has referred
frequently to his interpreting"
economist" The reference came to
be regarded somewhat similarly to
the white House spokesman of
the Coolidge days. Some even
wondered If there actually was
such a person or whether it was
convenient term for any bit of
economic research done at White
House bidding.
The man identified principally
with the new gold policy is DR.
George Warren, professor of farm
economics at Cornell. Warren has

Washington, Nov 2-(UP)-The
story here is that George F. War
rem, who sold the commodity dollar
idea to President Roosevelt, was in
turn sold the idea to Secretary of
Wallace decade ago.
At first, Warren, an agricultural
economist, didn't warm up to the
idea. The more he studied it, the
more he liked it. Nof he talks
nothing else. Wallace on the other
hand thinks the honest dollar must
be accompanied by crop control be-
fore it will bring real benefit to the
farmer.
George Peek, AAA administrator

he happened to become interested
in the farm problem. At the age
of five his family was driven off its
farm by foreclosure.

cannot live up to either of the super
stitions which have been built up
about 1t. 1t is supposed. by children,
says the Washington Star, to be able to
sew up the ears or to sting. The first
belief is absurd on the face of it, but
many adults believe it can sting. How
ever, as it has no singer. it cannot
harm human beings in that way. The
dragon fly feeds on insects which it
catches on the fly and holds securely
with its strong biting jaws. The dra-
gon fly lays its eggs on still water and
the larvae live in the water, feeding
upon insects and tiny fish. When 1t
arrives at maturity the larva crawls
up on the bank, the shell breaks open
and the adult fly energies.

chuckled, remembering that she had
a previous engagement to take lunch
with man whose very name she did
not know. She told the maid who an
swered her ring that she was sorry she
would be unable to meet her sister
until five o'clock, when she would be
at Pierre's. +
The second call asked her to ring up
a number that was not among those
noted in her telephone register. No
hurry about that. She dressed and
at length rang the number indiffer-
emily. The first words spoken made
her sit stiffly erect.
"It's Madame Saitou, isn't it? Rec
ognized your voice at once. I've sent
you a client. Be an angel and con-
vince her that I'm worse luck for her
than seeing one crow on q Friday
morning. Don't forget I'll be with you
for lunch. I'm saving my appetite.
Always had passion for sandwiches"
He hung up without giving her a
chance for inquiry or reply. She, too,
however, had recognized voice and
it did not take great acuteness to fore
see that the large lady who had so ex-
cited Buttons would prove to be the
Mercy of the merciless pursuit.
Smif was now eager to look the
monster over for herself. She rang
for Buttons.
"Tell the strange lady that / can't
possibly see her for at least three
quarters of an hour" she instructed
him. 81 will fit her in If she will wait.
Otherwise it will be two days before

"Yes, Madame" Buttons made his
military salute, at once descending
from the official heights and low
ering his voice confldentially: "Betcha
she stays. Betcha she does. She's
crazy to get a-hold Of you"
His prophecy proved true. When
the latest client was ushered out, the
stranger was still patiently sitting in
one of the little private rooms. At
once Sniff told Buttons to escort her
to the lounge.
"1us' wait till you clap eyes on
her!' Buttons tone was important, as

her thoughts.

He was not unobservant then. Per-

interest in the sandwiches to give her
the opportunity to study him.

Sniff finished her club sandwich in

until he was satisfied. Then she rang
for Buttons to remove what was
left.
"And now" she said when they had
both lighted cigarettes, ''this is not a
game of Twenty Questions. 1 expect
another client shortly. We must get
down to business. What is your

The man assumed hang-dog air.

he might be as much as forty years

him much younger, his expression be-
ing singularly ingenious.

People who cannot swim set lit
