CONCEPTIONS OF
TWO POLITICIANS
VERY DIFFERENT
HERBERT HOOVER AND
HENRY WALLACE "cLASH"
I'm MATTERS PERTAINING
TO ADMINISTRATION
By HERBERT PLUMMER
thy Associated l'ressI


WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The
literary set-to between Herbert
Hoover and Henry Wallace may
provide a novel referendum of a
sort. Their clashing conceptions
of the new DEAL" appearing CO.
incidentally, will attract notice to
how widely each book is read.
Publication being timed in the
midst of a political campaign is
significant. Human factors, too.
impart a dramatic quality to this
particular duel of minds.
Both the former president and
the secretary of agriculture
spring of Iowa farm country. The
former was born in 1874 at West
Branch and his antagonist IA years
later in Adair county.
Engineering with the world as
his field came to beckon the one,
leading to the White House.
Agriculture and the editorial
chair drew the other, and now ne
sits at the Presidents right hand.
Perseverance, depth of conv;c-
ton and a measure of asceticism
are characteristics of both men.
Mr.. Hoover was classed as Il
democrat to the extent of being
mentioned for presidential nomi-
nation on that ticket in 1920.
Mr.. Wallace, son of a repu5li-
can secretary of agriculture, fore
swOre republicanism to support
the democratic presidential nomi-
nees in 1928 and 1882.
Capitalization Of Views
What they write will be re-
garded as crystallizations of the
Emergencies over the "new deal"
These will be no random thoughts,
but more a maturement of reason
ing.
Mr.. Hoover has watched Wash
ington from the quiet of retire
ment in California, finally puttin,'
pencil to pad only after months
of reflection. 1t is evident that
he considered it beholden upon
him to speak out as one to whom
many look for guidance.
Mr.. Wallace, taking time aside
from rush Of duties, started die
tating chapters last April at
Luray. Va. On the go later in
the CarOlinas and heading west,
he dictated others. He had no
notes, using his amazing capacity
for remembering detailed data.
He was motivated by belief in the
need for a fresh expression on the
best way to approach tOday's poll
teal and agricultural problems.
Tedious hours of editing, re-
writing and transpOsing have been
put in by both authors.
Divergent Titles
The chosen titles illustrate
their fundamental conflict.
"The Challenge to Liberty" is
the Hoover theme. Principles
cherished by the forefathers, in
his view, are threatened with
sabotage unless the coun-
try awakes.
"New Frontiers" is the Wallace
text. Modern civilization requires
a new adaptation of traditional
principles, he holds, as a guar
antee not alone of liberty but of
security.
The public doubtless will accord
each position the weight it

Hugh S. johnson, soldier, has de-
,liberately put a moose about his
head, turned to the political hang
man-Mr. John Q. Pu5lic-and
said "yank it if you willy'
He did so with the open defy to
leadership of the American fed
Grafton of labor and invitation to
organized industrialists that they
sponsor the banding of their en-
ployes into industrial unions.
Whether he had presidential
benedictions cannot be said. The
proposal was the more note
worthy, however, for having been
made shortly after the Roosevelt
Johnson conferences at Hyde
Park.
If it takes" if industrial en-
ployes and the public agree with
the NRA chieftain, changes in
relations will be look
ed for. How these will operate

DDS may decide whether Johnson
is hero or villain.
Ii it results only in more fric-
ton and uncertainty, who knows
tut tnat the public will clamor for
his retirement in a way that can't
be denied?
Types OF Unions
"Toughy' Johnson, as they call
ed him in the army in "shave-
tail' days. would be a hard man
to choke off, however. Should the
moose he drawn, it may take only
his NRA head and leave him
fighting mad to be reckoned with
while the battle goes ahead.
This was obviously no inn
petuous suggestion. Despite the
pff-and-on kind words between
the administrator. and organized
labor leaders, both had long been
chatting. But previous approaches
to a showdown had fallen short.
Now it seems inescapable. with
an issue being drawn as between
craft or horizontal unions and in
dustrial or vertical unions. The
federation of labor's forthcoming
convention is expected to focus
the dispute.
The federation, be it said. har-
bors both sorts of unions. Here
tofore attempts to bring about a
preponderance of vertical organ
izatiOnS have been licked. But one
of the powers in the A. F. of L.,
John Lewis, is pressing again to
have more unions modelled after
his United Mine Workers.

WAR TESTS FAIL
ON AMERICAN AGE
AS TO MENTALITY
AVERAGE NOT IL YEARS OLD,
BUT 17.7, 1T is NOW
SHOWN; LITTLE BEARING
ON ABILITY
BY SIGRID ARNE
nv AsSOctntan presS1

GBy Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Mr.
Average American is entitled to
hold his head a little higher. His
intelligence is not that of a mere
12-year-old child as he has been
told for the past decade.
The average man and woman of
this country has a mental age of
17.7 years, says DIR. David SegeL
specialist in tests and measure
ments for the federal bureau of
education.
Furthermore, the average men,
tai age is not synonymous with the
all-around ability which continues
to improve until quite a late age,
DIR. Segel says.
Playing Mental Tricks
The ability to learn has been set
up as an important criterion of a
mans mind. But several factors
enter into it, such as experience,
observation, reasoning and the in
stinct to survive. And combina-
ton of those factors can play
tricks on the mind.
The average adult, as he grows
older, may find his interests sharp
er in the work he has chosen, but
less sharp in purely extraneous
fields.
If he is an accountant, he may
find it quite simple to learn new
accounting system. But he might
stumble over foreign language
or medieval history, which had
no direct relation to his work.
Supplants War Tests
DIR. SegePs conclusions are
drawn from two wide group tests
which have been made since the
world war, one by Edward l..
Thorndike and another by Harold
f. Jones and Herbert S. Conrad.
The general belief that the
average man is only IL years old
mentally arose through the Stan
ford-B inet tests which were CIV
en- to the army during the war.
But measurement experts now
believe those tests were gagged
too high because the original aver
ages were drawn from tests made
on group of too high caliber.
A Learning Peak
Mr.. Average American took
them when he entered the army.
he won low rating and the ~
year-old" man became part OF
the national consciousness.
The results of the new studies
show that the ability to learn
reaches a peak between % and 70
years of age. Then it falls Off
slowly but it never falls to the
level of IL years for adults.
However, if all around ability
were considered, Dr. Segel says,
the curve might continue to go up
after % and not show any decline
until around so years of age.
The ability to learn also varies
according to the subject studied.
In work where experience is i'm
rortant, and the handling of peo-
pie counts. such as politics. or
sociology. the ability to learn re-
mains high for a longer period.
But in mathematics where past
experience plays less important
role, the ability to learn reaches
its height at an earlier age.

STUCK WITH

BY JAMES G. FLANAGAN

The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, which to some ex.
tent dictated the terms Of the
recent Baltimore & Ohio railroad
financing. will probably have to
take about $4,000, 900 Of the $50.
0o0.000 notes recently offered by
banking group, it is learned in
investment banking circles.
While the break in the securi-
ties markets, concurrent with the
public offering Of the notes, re-
tarded early activity, the banking
group at that time expressed con-
fidence that, although sales were
slow, the entire issue would be
taken.
It is now understood, however,
that the notes went poorly" and
under the offer made by the
RFC to the road, the Government
agency will probably have to take
about 20 per cent of the issue.
Sets Precedent
The entrance of the RFC into
the Baltimore and Ohio financing
deal marked a new phase in the
operations Of the credit agency.
BY offering to underwrite the
issue at 80, the RFC in effect set
the price for the bonds, after
bankers had decided to market
the issue at a more attractive re-
turn.
In the selling arrangement be-
tween the railroad and the bank
ing group, the latter acted only
as agents for the company and
not as underwriters. The bankers
were to notify the carrier regard
ing the bonds which they had
sold, and the RFC had agreed to
take the remainder at the same
price at which the bankers re-
ceived them from the road.
