 SCARED
 To what extent certain big business interests live in secret terror of the presidents eco- homie and monetary policies is significantly disclosed by a story that has just reached his ears.
 Roosevelts informant, a lead CT in his field, was approached by 8 group of nationally known business figures. They told him they came to him because he was a friend and supporter of the president. They asked his help.
 In hushed tones. they dis closed their fears for the secur- ity of the dollar and the private ownership of industry. They were convinced, they said, that the president planned--if not actual government ownership at least government participation in business.
 They proposed, therefore, to organize a committee of twenty live of the most prominent busi- nessmen in the country, and go to the White House to remon- stratc with the president, urge upon him, tactfully but positive ly, more conservative course.
 ROOsevelt's friend heard them to the end. Then told them to go hOmc--and forget it.
 Not only would their delcga tion have an adverse popular reaction, he said, but 1t was the last way to sway the president. Roosevelt. he told them, is neither awed nor impressed by the fears and alarms of conser- vative business interests, and does not determine his policies by conferences with committees of big business protest mak CTS.
 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 Governor William ]. Myers, of the farm credit administration, can talk, write, listen, and hold press conference all at the same time. At a news con- ference the other day. he signed mall, answered questions. scan ned a statistical report, kept two stenograDhers busy taking dictation, and ordered his lunch which he eats at his desk. Of the $850,000,000 additional funds the REC is seeking for the current fiscal year, $500, 900. 900 is for loans to banks. particularly savings and loan banks. The high prices charged by the department of agriculture cafe tcria have driven even the higher salaricd to eat elsewhere. Most of them lunch at the res- taurant of the department of commerce four or five blocks away. .
