$91 900. This was supposed to be
turned over to Mr.. Ickes together
with the principal to be reloaned
as PWA funds.
Jesse had a different idea. Call
ing up Mr.. Ickes, he said:
Harold, we made a cash pre-
MUM of SCI 900 on our sale. Well
just keep that as our profit for
handling the operation for you"
mo you won't" replied Harold.
We'll, We'll hold the premium
over here then and credit it to
your account"
mo, you send it over here. We
may need it,
XXTHEREUPON the Texas
w horsetrader who runs the
FRC and the Pennsylvania born
Scotsman who runs the PWA had
an extended though good-natured
argument. Jones has at his dis
posal about six billion dollars,
Ickes nearly four billion, but
they went at it hot and heavy
over $4,000. Finally Jones pro-
posed:
We'll. how about paying us an
allotment out of this to cover our
expenses?"
Nothing doing" replied Ickes.
The customary brokerage
charge is ne-sixteenth." persist
ed Jesse. Wen just deduct
that"
NO you won't" shot back
Harold.
Finally the RFC chairman yield
ed. But a day or two later as he
was about to mail the check, he
called up his friend.
BY the way. Harold" he said,
I'm deducting 2 cents from this
check to pay for the postage"
How about using a franked
envelope?" shot back Harold, who
finally got his sol 900 without the
deduction of penny.
And when Harold IckeS gives a
final accounting to the nation,
probably it will show that in
financing the biggest sewage sys-
TEN in the world-at Chicago;
the biggest dam in the world-at
Grand Coulee; the biggest arti-
fetal lake in the world-at Fl.
Peck; the biggest flood control
project-along the Mississippi;
the biggest bridge in the world
the Tri-Boro; and the biggest
naval building program ever I'M
dertaken, he will have lost scarce
ly penny.
