Washington. Dec. 4-Nine months have passed since Franklin Roosevelt selected the ten members of his cabinet chared with the task of putting across the New Deal.
 There has ensued Q shake down period "a period of trial and errOr-an opportunity for each cabinet officer to find him. self. The chief now knows on what side of the fence each member of his official family stands. He knows their faults and failings, their strong points and their eccentricitics.
 The cbainet mold Is now set. THUMBNAIL SKETCH
 Until more cabineteers follow in the footsteps or Secretary Woodin, the. essential character of the cabinet will not change. Below, therefore, is thumbnail sketch of the New Deal cabin ct, how important each member is to the New Deal picture, how close he is to the chief.
 HENRY A. WALLACE, sEC- RETARY OF AGRICULTURE Completely in step with the president, one of the two or three upon whom Rooseevlt leans most heavily. Quiet, wis., been under terrific pressure from packers, millers, cotton manufacturers, but while com promising at times, he has wag- ed consistent battle for the farmer and the consumer.
 HAROLD ICKES, SECRE- FAIRY OF THE INFERIOR Together with Wallace, he rates at the top of the cabinet, both in the confidence he inspires from Roosevelt and in his consistent battling for a Fair Deal. A man whom Roosevelt had not met before he, appoint ed him, the president has now given Ickes more work than any any other member of his official family. He has worked himself harder than any other cabineteer and the grind is beginning to. tell on his health.
 JAMES A. FARLEY, POST MASTER GENERAL - Still in step with the president but limp ing a little after the New York mayoralty defeat. Jim is doing a good job with his post office de- partment and takes pride in it. Aside from this he knows little about recovery measures and makes no pretensions. His sole effort is directed toward the democratic machine and 1886. He is one of Roosevelt's closest friends.
 FRANCES PERKINS, SEC. RETARY OF LABOR-In step with the president, although she has the nerve to stand up and fight him when she thinks she is right. Compared with her Hoover Coolidge predeces- sors in the labor department, Miss Perkins Is a light shining in the darkness, but she is not the great executive she was cracked up % be. She is playing a con- sistently important part in the New Deal and playing it well.
 GEORGE c. DERN, sECRE- FAIRY OF WAR-Nobody knows whether he is in step with the president and nobody cares. A man with real promise, Dern has sunk into the limbo of for gotten men. More than any other recent secretary of war, his generals have obscured him. He might as well spend all of his time in his private office with a couch in it intsead of merely

It was going to be such joyful Christ mas for Joel Sibneck of New York. He was three, going on four, so he proudly informed people who asked him his age. He had just learned to use telephone after watching his parents. So when his mother went out on an errand Joel de- cided he'd call up Santa Claus and put in his order for Christmas toys early. Joel asked the operator to connect him with Santa Claus in his babyish fashion. Then his foot slipped from the telephone stool. stilling till s sany' outcries. The light flashed steadily at the telephone switchboard, but Joel was dead when help arrived, strangl- ed to death.

Economy Plea
Time to Return to Plan OF
Living Within Income,
He Says

DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 10.
That the primary obligation Of the
country's governmental represen-
tatives is to go back and tie IN
with the old idea of living within
ones income was the admonltlon
left with the Iowa legislature to-
dav by ex-Gov. O. Max Gardne:
of North Carolina after giving
them a 5,000-word account OF
how North Carolina faced the
economic crisis. =,
Addressing the legislators last
night, ex-Gov. Gardner told the
story of his accomplishments dur
inc his recently-ended administra--
ton and of how the 1881 general
assembly tackled and stopped IN
its tracks the states advancing
tax burden for the first time IN
the history of the Old North State;
Talking in a broad and general
way about the basis Of operation
in 1898, Mr.. Gardner declared:
"For several years we have been
beguiled with the idea that this
depression was temporary. A con-
dition precedent to the return or
prosperity is that we ourselves
mus come to a realization of the
new basis on which business must
operate today--whether that bust
ness is private business OF public
business.
Mr.. Gardner was invited here
to tell the Iowa lawmakers how,
during his four-year admlnlstra-
ton, he put his state oil "busj-
ness basis. The former governor
detailed his administration and
outlined as his outstanding
achievements: the road and school
measure, which substantially cut
the tax burden on property; the
ten per cent reduction of state
salaries and the reorganization OF
departments: economies effected
by establishing a division of per-
sonnet and a division of purchase
and contract; the creation of i
Greater University Of North Caro-
lima, and the local government
law.
In addressing the Iowa legisla-
ture former Gov. Gardner alluded
to the matter of county consolida-
ton, observing that North Caro-
lima has an even hundred counties
and Iowa ninety-nine. Declaring
that North Carolina did not need
so many counties. former Cover

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-(UP)
The entire field of foreign affairs
was opened for inspection Of
President-elect Roosevelt yester-
day by Secretary of State Slim
son in a conference that began in
the snow-blanketed Hudson Val
ley and ended early last night in
this city.
Although both men were reti-
cent concerning the discussion,
arranged by Roosevelt through
President Hoover, friends de-
clared they went over state de-
partment operation and every
thing pertaining to international
relations.
81 had a very delightful visit
and luncheon with Mr.. StimsOn,"
Roosevelt remarked.
His guest added. "Our CONVEX
sations were most satisfactory"
Beyond that the conferees re-
vealed nothing about the confer
ence-one of the few a new presi-
dent has had with an outgoing
cabinet member on a preceding
administration.
1t was believed the Soviet Rus
sian recognition question was
overhauled, along with those deal
ing with Manchuria, Philippines
independence, European war debts
and the Forthcoming economic
conference in London.
Whether any decision was
reached as to the future conduct
of the new administration in re-
gard to any of these issues was
not learned.
1t was the belief here that
Roosevelt arranged the meeting
purely for informative purposes,
in order that the way may be
cleared for early action on the
more pressing of the foreign prob
lens he will be called upon to
face.
Roosevelt revealed the session
was not without precedent, point
ing out that President Wilson con-
ferred with Secretary Knox be-
fore he took office. .....
Stimson added too, that as sec
rotary of war in the outgoing
Taft cabinet, he discussed nation
al matters with Judge Garrison
who had been named t o succeed
him.

eral assembly, but with what re-
suit remains to be seen. County
consolidation is a perennial
topic, and while in many in
stances specific proposals for
consolidation would have opposi-
ton from many county political
cliques, some members of the
Legislature this year are known
to consider it as a means of
bringing down the high cost Of
government. At any rate, the
demand for consolidation seems
to be more insistent and more
generally admitted than at any
time in recent years, and it is
fairly well conceded that legis-
lation designed to accomplish
county consolidation would find
less opposition in the present
Legislature than similar pro-
posal would have encountered a
few years back.
