 TOUGH NUT
 It is a lucky thing for goateed John Fl. Fahey, head of the Home owners Loan corporation, that his appointment is not up for confirmation at this session of congress.
 He would most certainly never get by the throat cutting gang of democratic patronage.grabb now ruling the senate. They would mali his hide on . fence.
 Fahey, a quiet-spoken but de. cisive New England publisher, former president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Is known on Capitol Hill as the toughest New Deal nut that job.snatching statesmen have to crack.
 The B0lons have almost given up trying to force deserving democrats" on him.
 And how they resent it! Men ton of his name in a group of democratic legislators is certain to start n flow of torrid invective. NO FAVORITJ1s
 Fahey plays no favoritcM He is just ns hnrd-boilod with cabi- net members as with congress- men--a lesson Blg Jim Farley is iearning--much to his startled disgust.
 Fahey Is even refusing t0 an- swer tbe telephone when Jim calls up.
 There is real reason behind Fahey'S strong nntipnthy to poli- tioal appointees When he was advanced from mere mem berHhip in the HOLC to It's chairmnDBhip, he found his organization sunk with Incompetent p0iiticos.
 "Seaboard BilI" Stevenson, lame. duck south CarOiinian whom Fahey displaced, had y,0ckcd the HOLC with party henchmcn regardless of capnbIii- ties. The result was q mum. ber Of juicy scandals which the administration still Is trying O clean up.
 l'ahay has changed all this. Although the Norris amendment, which would have placed all UOIC appointments on q merit basis, was thrown out of the House, Fahey has quietly en- forced it Jnat the same. MERitY.GO.ROUND
