All In A Day
By
MARK HELLINGER

Don't tell him too much-just
that his horse is running. No
use letting the poor old bird be
too disappointed when he don't
get one of the big prizes"
And in order that the plan
might be carried out without a
hitch, Jim stood by the tele-
phone while the message was
being relayed to old Mike.
HE didn't say much Bill
told him. HE seemed kinda
stunned. Well that's to be
expected. I suppose"
Jim nodded. Nothing to do
now but tip off the other
roomers in Mikes boarding
house so that the old man
wouldn't get wise. In an hour
or so, he'd drop over there for
that purpose; and, at the same
time, witness his friends hap
piness.
There was a doctors auto in
front of Mixes rooming house
when Jim arrived. And an
undertaker'S wagon. He dashed
up the steps and banged on the
bell. When the landlady
arrived, she explained things
quietly. Yes, old Mike was
dead. He had died about an
hour ago. She shook her head
at Jim's question. No, it
wasn't suicide. He had died OF
a heart attack.
Hearts been bad long
time" she stated. THE doctor
told him right along to be care
full of excitment of any kind.
Well, I don't know what it was
this time. I only know he got
a telephone call. And what
ever it was this party told him
over the phone. the shock was
so great it caused his death" ...

Favor Some Plan

Already the Department OF Com
merce has received some thousands or
answers to a questionable 1t sent to
private employers asking what they
thought OF unemployment insurance,
and what plan they would prefer
Most OF the answers favor some plan
for unemployment insurance, but they
differ SO widely rs to plans approved
that the various groups President
Roosevelt has working on the Idea feel
they have a free hand. for there seems
to be no pressure for any given plan.
Unless 1t Is that employers generally
would like to see the government take
the whole burden OF cost, and there
Is certainly no Intention on the part
OF anyone In the administration to do
that.
New Dealers feel that II the govern
ment is willing to pay for all overhead
and administration, the individual lines
of business should stand the unemploy-
ment dips In their own industries.
Walter C. Teage heads one OF the
committees which Is studying the ques-
ton. This Is really subcommittee OF
Secretary Roper's business advisory
and planning council. But apparently
the main function OF Teagle's commit
tee Is to keep In touch with the various
agencies that the President has put to
work on this problem.
It Is a rather novel way OF shaping
legislation-to have large number OF
separate groups working independently
on 1t, but sort OF liaison body moving
In between. II Is no novelty for Mr..
Roosevelt to have different groups
work out a problem, though frequently
the members of each group have
thought that they were the only ones
doing the Job.
This time there Is actually central
body--the Teagle which
