story think Moley's downfall en-

that there is no magic in the title
Of professor, but that each brain

he expects to stay on the job.
1t is interesting that the man

FOR
CIVILIAN CAMPS
DURING WINTER
PLAN NOW CALLS FOR FULL
STRENGTH OF coNsERvA-
TIoN ORGANIZATIONS DUR
ING COLD MONTHS
tspecial 20 The Citixenl

ATLANTA. Ca, Sept. las a
result of the recent decision of
President Roosevelt to continue
the Civilian Conservation Corps at
full strength through the winter,
the army is busily making plans
to care for the 100000 members
of the Civilian Conservation Corps
during the cold months.
In discussing the winter pro-
gram for the Civilian Conservation
Corps, Bajor General Edw. L.
King, 4th Corps Area commander,
made the following statement:
sIn carrying out the presidents
decision, it will be necessary to
move between five and eix hundred
camps now in the north to the
milder climate of the South. This
mean that this Corps Area will re-
ceive many additional companies,
and many new work projects will
be undertaken. 1t is most prob
able that some camps will be es-
tablished for work on the Tennes-
see Valley project. but other
states in the South will also receive
additional companies. The army,
where necessary, will erect some
form Of semi-permancnt construc-
ton 70 comfortably house Che men.
and, of course, suitable winter
clothing will be issued to men
working in colder climates"
Looking forward to the possible
ty of operating the camps through
out the winter and realizing that,
if this decision were announced by
President Roosevelt, many COM
panfes would be moved to this
Corps Aera, General King, some
time ago directed his staff TO make
a study of conditions in the Corps
Area with a view to being pre-
pared to take care of the new COM
panies. As a result. all that is
necessary now is for Washington.
in conjunction with state govern
ments, 10 announce the locations
of the new work projects in order
for the changes to begin.
There win be few. If any, chang
es in the location of camps now
established in this Corps Area but
it is expected that many companies
organized in the cold regions of
Idaho. Montana. Wyoming, Utah
and Washington viii be moved
south and win have the pleasure
of experiencing the ideal winter
climate Of the southern states.

Moley Affair Hints AtGLimit
To Authority OF Brain Trust

1t was Tugwell who, following
the proniptings of his associate
Professor Wilson, convinced the
President that the allotment plan
should be adopted for wheat con-
troll.
George Peek, the farm adj
ministrator, rather favored a
modified equalization fee arrange
ment, and there was a period
when it appeared that TugweIl
might become as much storm
center in the agriculture depart
ment as Moley was in the state de-
partment. But eventually he won
over the opposition. and compare
tive peace followed.
Some Fit, Some Don't
Some others particularly those
assigned to think up new ideas
for the treasuryhave not made
their places so readily. One pro-
lessor was elected summarily
from a confidential conference of
hostile treasury officials.
When Professors Warren and
Rogers were detailed by the White
House to study the currency
situation, high treasury officer
told inquirers:
Zone of them / never heard of.
and the other is really quite an
authority on dairy Matters
This officer devoted the better
part of two days to finding out
who these professors were and
what they were up to.
But unlike Moley and Tugwell,
Warren and Rogers never pro-
jected themselves into administra-
tive matters. They and various
others of the lesser professional
lights have been gravitating to the
statistical and research end of the
government, leaving public policy
to the non-professors. Perhaps
this may forecast the final solu-
ton of the problem.

BRITISH SHIP IN
DISTRESS OFF CUBA


The tropical storm moved along
the north coast Of Cuba today with
Havana and possibly Key West in
its path.
The British freighter Josephine
Gray was in distress off the Cuban
coast about 100 miles east Of Ha-
vana.
In the Cuban capital merchants
boarded up doors in expectation
that the storm would hit The city
this afternoon. Waterfront resi-
dents moved to higher ground.
Indications were that the storm
might be felt in the vicinity Of
Key West. Miami looked for
strong winds.
A second storm was moving
west or northwest from 4 point
about ITO miles northeast Of
Puerto Rico.
The weather bureau At WASH
ington said Il was ''of ii least

II Is said this second storm

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Bx BYRON PRICE

By BYRON PRICE
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington)
The big idea which Wash
ington evolved from the Mo-
ley resignation was that Mr..
Roosevelt does not, after all,
regard any member of his
staff of college-professor adj
visers as infallible.
Until quite recently, there had
been much apprehension on that
score among democratic poll
ticians. The professors had WRIT
ten most of the legislation passed
at the special session. and they
had secured a very firm foothold
in almost every government
agency.
: The President heard a great
deal of advice to the effect that
he was OVERRIDING the thing. One
of the most influential democratic
senators felt so outraged that he
frankly began to look with sus-
picion on every policy promulgated
by the administration.
1t surprised and pleased most
party wheelhorses when Prcfes-
sor 0gburn found his ideas re-
jected by the NRA, and returned,
protesting, to his classroom.
There was more secret rejoicing
when it was disclosed that the oil
price-fixing program was adopted
over the most vigorous kind of
opposition from DIR. Sachs and
Economist Pogue.
A Matter Of Tact
Coincidentally, the conviction
grew that Professor Moley, the
recognized giant oak of the "brain
trust" was himself on his way
out. Confirmation in the form of
Moley's actual resignation did not
