FROM PAMPAS TO PRESIDENT
tire Dame Head Laid Foundation for Climb as Gaucho

but never was called because OF a
surfeit of applicants.
While teaching foreign COM
merce, he returned to South
American for several months dur
ing which he visited the principal
republics on that continent and
arranged for many exchange
scholars between Notre Dame and
Latin-American universities, prin-
cipally young men who wished to
specialize in trade between the
United States and South Ameri-
can nations.
During one of these trips, he
arranged for his successor in the
foreign commerce department,
when in 1923 he was raised to
Project of Religion at Notre
Dame. The man he chose was,
like himself, an expert selected
from the United States foreign
service.
4 S project, he became editor of
IA the Bulletin, religious paper
at Notre Dame, in the columns
of which he wrote many of his
famed replies to scientists and
iconoclasts who questioned the
validity of the Christian religion.
AS a teacher, Father O'Hara
was very popular with the stu
dents; and even today, despite his
heavy duties, he corresponds with
many of his old pupils.
He was appointed vice-president
of the university when the health
of the Rev. Charles O'Donnell,
former president, began to fail.
On Father O'Donnell's death, he
became acting president and re-
manned in that capacity until last
week. when he officially was
elected president.
Father O'Hara constantly be-
trays his Hibernian patronymics.
Still tart of tongue, he is less
serious than in his youth, and his
health has improved accordingly.
In the last three years he has
taken on some weight and no
longer is thin as a rail-" He
takes to his heavy responsible
ties like a duck to water" and
betrays no signs of strain.
A great believer in temperance,
he, nevertheless, is liberal and
smokes an occasional cigaret. Nor
does he condemn little drink
ing.
He is potent and enthusiastic
supporter OF the Legion of Decen-
cy, which at present is under
taking to improve the moral tone
Of motion pictures.
Unlike many college presi-
" dents, Father O'Hara de-
tests the limelight, and such in
formation as is presented in this
article was garnered only on the
promise that the source never
would be betrayed. Both friends
and relatives know that he dis
likes publicity and all fear his
Irish temper.
He is enthusiastic about football
as a haracter-builder for young
men, and attends all of Notre
Danes home games. But he views
such debacles as that of last fall
with the greatest calm. He thinks
the boys work harder and appre-
ciate their victories more if they
don't come too easily or too often.
Members of his family have
lived in Indianapolis since 1909,
when his father resigned from the
foreign service. For many years,
their home has been at 1854 North
Illinois street.
Father John F. O'Hara is their
hero.

asked him to become his personal
secretary there.
Although his Brazilian stay was
short, it was long enough for the
studious young man to gain him
self a thorough grounding in Por-
tuguese, the Brazilian language,
and besides Spanish, the only
South American tongue.
However, the boy was anxious
to complete his education and in
January, 1909, he returned to the
United States and enrolled at
Notre Dame, from which he was
graduated in 1911. During his stay
there his father, following serious
injuries sustained from a fall on
a boat, resigned from the foreign
service and returned to Indian
apolis.

am leaning over backward in the
effort to give him the benefit of
every doubt.
MIR. FLETCHER second
1V1 statement that congress has
authorized the expenditure of at
least twenty billions more" is just
not true. The grand total of all
authorizations in both sessions of
the Seventy-third congress was
$18,781 ,602,7 FOB.
This is not twenty billions
more" as Mr.. Fletcher states, but
somewhat less than twelve bill
lions more. Those twelve billions
include, moreover, the ordinary
expenses Of the government for
the current year. They include
the two billions set aside as
sterilization fund. They include
relief. They include authorize
ton for loans to industry. They
include normal expenditures for
public works and for naval and
military ornaments.
The net theoretical authorize
ton for what by any stretch of
the imagination can be called
the New Deal are for 1885 not
twenty billions, as Mr.. Fletcher
says, not twelve billions as the
gross figures show, but something
less than six billions.
THUS it appears that in an
l. nouncing the cost of the New
Deal to date Mr.. Fletcher multi
piled the real cost by two; in
announcing the authorized ex-
penditures for the future he has
multiplied the real cost about
three times. This IS, even allow
ing for partisanship, exaggeration
on the grand scale.
These fantastic figures are false
and are intended to mislead the
public. They could not have been
compiled by man who was look
ing for the truth. The errors in
them are too great to be excused
as accidental or careless.
To misrepresent the financial
position of the government at
time like this is serious bust
ness.

Draws Satire.

GOVERNOR PAUL V. M
~ NUTS middle initial has
so intrigued one Jacob S. Miller
that he has written small book
about it and is selling them for 10
cents or a nickel in lots of 300.
One of them, with sales let
ter inclosed, arrived at the Gov
ernors Office today. 1t was adj
dressed to Pleas Greenlee, Nc
mutt patronage secretary. He read
it quickly and dismissed it with
a snort.
Title of the book is "V'S, VAN
tiles and Vagaries of Indiana's
Variously-Named Governor" 1t
recites some highly biased political
data, in which the Governor is
painted in very dark hues while
such political foremen as Frank
Mayr Jr., and R. Earl Peters get
the bouquets.
The middle initial is used to
close each paragraph and point
the moral. The "V," which really
stands for the family name of
Voorhees," becomes:
Valiant, verbose, veteran, voci-
ferrous, voluble, verdant, vanity,
variable, vehement, vaingloriouS,
Vanessa, vaporous, virulent, Wind
ic-ive, vinculum, voracious, Vol
stead, vinous, vaudeville, voodoo,
visionary, vanquished, ictorious,

Reports that Indiana Railroad in
