No MISREPRESENTATION.

Secretary 1ckes, public works ad.
mnistrator, and James A. Moffett
Federal housing administrator, judg-
ing from a statement issued jointly
by them on Saturday, have reconciled
their differences which grew out OF
their separate housing plans. No one
will have the slightest quarrel with
the desire of these gentlemen to have
peace; peace apparently at the re-
quest of the supreme head of the
New Deal, President Roosevelt him.
self. But the joint statement issued
as proof of the peace is something OF
reflection on the intelligence of the
American people.
This statement begins:
1t seems pity that either misrep-
reSentation or desire to stir up
trouble where no trouble exists should
have given rise to stories which create
the impression that there is a di-
vergence of views between the Hous-
ing Administration and the Public
Works Administration.
And, in conclusion, the statement
reiterated the suspicion that some
thing underhand was being done:
We suspect that there is a dis
position in certain quarters to make il
appear that there is a difference OF
opinion between us. We decline tC
furnish material for Roman holiday
for those who are trying to create
this impression.
The stories of disagreement between
Mr.. Ickes and Mr.. Moffett over their
respective plans for housing develop
ment were published in the news
papers, so the newspapers are pre-
sumably the certain quarters" sus-
pected of making it appear that
there is a difference of opinion be-
tween U.S." AS a matter of fact. the
interest of the newspapers is to print
the news. The statements made by
Mr.. Moffett, criticising the plan ad-
vanced by Secretary Ickes for two
to four billion dollar housing project
by the Government, were not man.
ufactured by the newspapers. They
were made by Mr.. Moffett. The orig
inal statements about the possibility
of a Government housing program
were inspired by Mr.. Ickes, not the
newspapers. If Mr. Moffett is willing
to swallow his own words after hear
ing from the White House, that is his
affair. But for Mr.. Moffett and Mr.
Ickes to insinuate that the press is
seeking to misrepresent and to stir UP
trouble in the New Deal family is
rather childish.
1t will be interesting to see whose
housing plan finally gets the back
ing of the President. Perhaps both
will be recognized and the public may
be enlightened later as to how two
apparently contradictory schemes can
both be successful. The press, with
the public, will await the solution
with interest.
In the meantime, it is hoped there
will be no further recurrence of a
disposition on the part of some New
Dealers to tell the press not only what
to say, but also what not to say.

Pedestrian precepts:
Always look to the left, from which

fcucctildu pEcCcptS.
Always look to the left, from which
danger threatens.
More harm comes from the left
than all the other directions put to-
gether, but a great many persons do
not seem to realize 1t.
For instance, If one is desirous Of
catching a public vehicle, but flrst
must cross the street to do so. 1t is
very risky to keep an eye on the car
or bus.
Let the vehicle take care Of itself.
You should look sharply to the left
before stepping into the street, and
never pass in front Of the street car.
but rather behind 1t.
Take the following very common
situation: The pedestrian Is walking
west along the north side Of the
street, to catch car coming south
on a north-and-south street.
As the car thunders down the
block, he naturally looks north to-
ward it.
That is all right, quite natural, of
course-but the danger comes in per-
mitting the idea of catching the car
to occupy the mind solely.
The one big idea ought to be simply
to get across the street safely.
This idea demands that once the
pedestrian has seen the street car he
put his entire attention back on his
main Job, getting across the way
safely.
This requires that he look at once
to the left, from which direction au-
tomobiles are rolling along the direct
path into which he must step.
X X X
Never walk in front of street car
or bus from the opposite side of the
street.
Always go behind it, and if this
means failure to catch the vehicle
well, catch the next one, then.
More will be along.
Just as motorists often make too
great haste, for no particular reason,
SO pedestrians at times are in too big
a hurry for their own good
Take a chance on the conductor
failing to see you rather than on
getting caught between car side and
automobile.
BY walking behind the car-still
with eyes to left, at least before one
gets of the other track-the pedes-
trian plainly displays himself to on
rushing motorists.
Visibility, on the part Of the man
afoot, is highly desirable.
Always give yourself little extra
time in the morning
No doubt many Of the forenoon
accidents are due, in part, to the
almost universal habit of most human
beings Of giving themselves just the
shortest time possible to get between
two given points.
1t isn't necessary. except upon oc-
casion, and it puts the average mind
into a stew, rush and push which
by no means add to efficiency.
1t makes possible, occasionally
necessary. failure to keep the eyes
to the left.
1t induces a pedestrian to hurry
in front of car. instead Of taking
the time to go around from the rear,
still looking up the street to the
left, since he is now facing the other
direction.
1t is wonderful. how much easier
walking is nowadays when one gives
ones self just a little extra time!
Never cross Immediately at an in
tersection where there are lights, but
wait for the next change. even If 1t
is red
The important thing is to get across
safely not lust to get across.

The Fiscal Program.

President Roosevelt's fiscal program
for next year is of tremendous inter-
est to the American people. From
Warm Springs, Ga come reports that
the President will seek a balanced
budget for normal" Government ex-
penditures, reasonably conservative
emergency relief program and no in
creased taxation now. These early
reports, although they do not commit
the administration definitely, are en-
recovery through a program in which
private initiative and private business
will play the major parts instead of
turning the whole affair over to Gov
ernment freely-spending agencies.
The Presidents fiscal program does
not. it is further reported, contem-
plate immediate payment of the
$4,000 100000 soldiers bonus. While
there is to be a tapering off of emer-
gency expenditures, no one is to be
allowed to starve. If the President
sends to Congress budget message
along indicated lines, the more rad
ical New Dealers and the plain rad
icals are likely to be in a stew. The
radical New Dealers are used to win
ming victories over their more conserv-
ative colleagues. They have seen the
so-called conservatives vanish from key
positions in the administration during
the past tWenty-one months. They
have by no means given up hope
of further victories. An interesting
situation might develop if these gen.
tlemen. finding the President unwill-
ing to go along with them, should
break with the Chief Executive and
seek their ends through Congress
The chances are, however, that in
any such event the radicals would
find themselves quickly out of Office,
and, out of office, out of power.
1t looks as though there may be a
distinct cleavage between the liberal
spenders and the more conservative
spenders. President Roosevelt in
clines at present toward the conserva-
tive He has conferred at Warm
Springs with Senate Leader Robin
son and Pat Harrison, chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee
Neither of them is regarded as radi-
cal. On the other hand, the Presi-
dent has mad with him during his
vacation trip Prof. ReXford G. Tug
well. Undersecretary of Agriculture,
who has been regarded in the past as
leader of the more radical New
Dealers. The Chief Executive may
determine finally upon a compromise
plan for Government appropriations
and expenditures. Certainly he is not
likely to go as far as some of his ad-
visers desire in Government spending.
The fear of heavier taxes to meet
extraordinary governmental expendi-
lures has hung over business and pri-
vate individuals, but current an
nouncement from Senate and House
sources, combined with reports from
Warm Springs, are that large tax in
creases are not contemplated. Busi-
ness is struggling to get on its feet
again; to give employment and to in
crease production. Heavier taxes
would hinder such efforts The time
to levy high taxes, if money is needed
to liQuidate governmental debts, is
during prosperity. Prosperity may
be coming around the corner, but
still has long way to come.

The shaft that is noble and stately.

To the Editor Of The Times:
