 Obviously the picture Is mixed. A few old Woodrow Wilsonites are in 1t. But unquestionably the New Deal has a definite, alto- gether novel Rooseveltian tinge. DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH
 Here is a story on the presi- dent which gives an interesting slant on the trend of his poll cies.
 He was walking to the Rever- end Logan H. Roots, Episcopa- Han bishop, of Hankow, China. Bishop Roots had come in for a chat, and was telling Roosevelt about his life ambition to build a great American cathedral in raised, as in the case of the Na- China. The money was to be tional Cathedral from wealthy members of the church.
 Better hurry up," remarked the president. Before my term is over, there won't be any rich men in this country"
 UNION AGENT
 NOTE-Here is the second trip the Merry Go- Founders make to the civil works admin istratiOn job-line to get n slant on what the jOb-hunters think of the New Deal, and what the New Deal is doing for them.
 The line in front of the CWA office was longer on the second day and there were more wo- men in it. All of them seemed well-dressed except for the negro women. There were only three male negroes in the line, most of those unemployed having been on the relief roles and hav- ing been taken care of at the start of CWA.
 Walking up and down the line was a man with a notebook and pencil who looked like a cub newspaper reporter not yet be- / yond the underwriting stage. He kept asking men whether they belonged to a union or not and eventually gave himself away as the Baltimore business agent of the Tile-Setters local of the A. F. of l..
 TITLE SETTLERS
 He was trying to find out how many of the men in line were affiliated with his union, and managed to locate three, whom he tried to persuade to step out of the line and get work under the union wage scale. He said they were work ing against their own welfare and that if they persisted in get ting CWA jobs he would have to report them to the Tile-Setters local.
 At this, one tile-setter got sore and offered to fight
 "Here I pay hundreds. of dol- lars of dues to you and what do l gctw he yelled. "Get out and quit bOthering me. There should be an injunction against anyone picketing men here trying to get legitimate employment. What is the American Federation of Labor anyhow? That Bill Green and his Wolman gang are a bunch of racketeers. For ten years I stuck before I got wise to them"
 None of the tile-setters would step out of line despite the union agents urging.
 (The story of the CWA job line will be continued.)
 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 Reports from the Montevideo conference are that it is taking a crowbar to pry "Sec" Hull loose. The old man enjoying himself as no other job he has tackled since he became secre- tary of state. Hull outrank- ed most delegates to the confer ence, but he got the jump on them by calling on each one be- fore they called on him. This, from the chief cabinet officer of the Colossus of the North, was real courtesy, and the Latin Americans have been for Hull eyer since. Hul's round- about style of oratory is also something understood below the Eduardo Vivot, crack pistol shot of the Argentine pampas, is tor Pat McCarran of Nevada spoke in Humboldt, Kans., not long ago in an effort to boost the
 
 time drumming up a crowd for him. Eddie Bowling, unoffi- cial ambassador for the presi- dent, was the first to introduce Paul Robeson, famous negro actor, to the stage. He also dis covered When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain" Kate Smith. His wife, the famous Ray Dooley who starred in '"The Sidewalks of New York" discov- cred Eddie. According to pr Clarence True Wilson, one time dry czar, Charley Curtis was the one outstanding dry republican and could have been elected president in 1928 if the Hoover crowd had not out maneuvered him. He was the most popular man in the party, but the Hoover crowd had the money"
