WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Never in the memories of the newspaper corps here "has there been such a man in Washington" as Gen Hugh s. Johnson, Industrial Re- covery Administrator.
 Energy seems to crackle from him like so much electricity.
 He knows the seriousness of his job in getting the wheels of indus try humming again. And yet, he works easily, never seems Hurried even has time for smile and a quip.
 Newspapermen surround him as he approaches his office in the morning. He smiles.
 Not a thing now" he says. Give you wad later. Busy as all get out"
 All in Days Work
 He swings in to his desk. Secre- taries surround him. There are telegrams to answer, letters to dic- tate, long distance calls to pick up. He takes it in deliberate, rhythmic stride.
 He has time pared to a bone. Not move or word seems wasted. He knows the boundaries of his job to a hair-line, and he refuses to waste time outside.
 What are you doing about
 general wage scales?" he was
 asked.
 That's not my baby" he
 parked genialIy.
 And the questioner left willingly to find out what he should have known. The General has imbued the halls of the Department of Commerce with such wholesome respect that his word is law.
 That does not mean he scatters terror. He is no czar. He is Gov ernment mediator. He never for gets IL. But as such he wants to know everything definitely and completely.
 Attends Code Hearings
 He sits in on all code hearings at some time. Huge auditoriums of business executives and labor rep resentatives wait for him. On the stage are his deputies and advisers. The General comes in. He slumps in his chair, but his eyes dart here and there. He even seems to know that he can save time by relaxing physically while his mind races.
 His picturesque phrases delight those around him. But he uses them in no childish attempt to draw laugh. He utters them with

ACROSS PARTY LINES


 The degree in which MT. Roose- welt himself is "on his own," is not easily comprehended.
 He talked little about the par ties during the 1892 campaign and scarcely has mentioned them since. It is well known that many Dem- ocratic leaders in Congress dislike to see Republicans in the Cab met, are dissatisfied with the pat ronage situation and have support ed the Roosevelt legislative pro- gram with reservations.
 These leaders will go along if the Presidents personal program is a success, and his personal pop ularity increases. They will try to reorganize the party according to their own ideas if he fails.

SAWYER STILL ON THE JOB

Regardless of impending charges in the personnel of the executive branch of the national government, which will include Ernest Walker Sawyer assistant to Secre- aly of the Interior Wilbur Mr. Sawyer is going right ahead with his efforts to have the International High way proje launched before his possible retirement
 While visiting Vancouver and Victoria, B. C., MT. Sawyer quoted at some length the importance of this connecting link which would open British Columbia Yukon Territory and Alaska to exploitation of mineral and agricultural wealth and bring millions of dollars the province and territories in the expenditures made by tourists.
 Quoting figures MT. Sawyer placed before the h. emationa Highway Committee, it was shown that the total cost of the highway would be S14 05 OO0 Of this amount British Columbia and Yukon territory would share to the of 900 and the United States e18O00O0
 The distance from Hazelton, B. C., to the Yukon boundary is 61O miles, which would entail expenditure Of S79300O0. The Yukon route, 530 miles would cost $750O per mile 1000 exclusive of bridges which would entail and additional expenditure of S6O00O0 There would be but l80 miles to be built in Alaska; with Hazelton already connected with Blaine, Wash total of 1920 miles of what would be 135-mle highway.
 Taking figures based upon tourist travel Califor- and from the United States to Victoria B. C., Mr. Sawyer pointed cut hat California proted to the extent Of S9O525 46 the tourist spending average of S115 52, exclusive Of Investments
 Figures compiled by the Victoria Publicity Bureau showed that tourists from the United States spent S132 "A in the island city, or an average of S1O81 per car exclusive of investments, ofWhch number made.
 Gauged by these figures it is not difficult to en- vision what the International Highway would mean to Alaska and Canada it possible for tourists to travel from any part Ol the United States to the Arctic Circle the vast mineral and agricultural development which would follow
 If nothing else recommended this project it's value as aforng space for overflow of congested population III the United States would suffice
 Based upon statements from the Department of Agriculture there is longer arabe land available to the settler ln the United States Hence the overflow must go to Canada congestion continue
 The country traversed by the highway would give homes to millions Of people and in addition these the rlnera wealth stretching almost the entire length of the highway would serve to enrich both the United States and Canada.
 There is little doubt that the new administration would welcome this project both for the effect would have upon unemployment, but as means for reestab fishing millions upcn the land and in mineral production
 Washington should be bonbarded by organized Eodles; the great work being done by Donald Mac Donald, father of the Highway idea and Mr. Sawyer should not be allowed to drop

JAPANESE PROVED.
SWIMMING CLASS
Boys Won Olympic Triumphs, but
U. s. Girls Retained Their
Superiority.

THE most conspicuous swimming
l. achievement Of the year unques-
tionably was the dramatic advance
by youthful Japanese team, which
overthrew the United States in the
Olympics for the first time and won
world championship honors.
The Japanese boys swan to a sue
cesSion of convincing victories with
record-smashing performances in five
out Of nine events, taking relay as well
as individual honors. Clarence BUS
teri Crabbe scored the principal United
States victcry by capturing the 400
meter free-style final Even this was a
surprise. and the only feature OF the
competition in which the Americans
remained supreme was diving.
American girls. however were trium-
phant in Olympic aquatics again by q
wide margin. Helene Madison, queen
mermaid, was pressed, but scored a
double triumph at 100 and 400 meters,
free-style Eleanor Holm won the back
stroke title, while Georgia Coleman and
Dorothy Poynton divided diving honors.
Subsequently little Katherine Rawls,
Florida girl, provided a sensation by
capturing four events in the national
women's outdoor championships. in
cluding the medley, 220-yard breast
stroke, 880-yard free-style and spring.
