Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt started her Christmas shopping early and is finishing it late like the rest of us. She began last March in Puerto Rico, so it is said, con- tinued the good work this summer, and was still hard at it this week in New York. Shopping early and late is not bad idea at that.

United States should obtain from
debtors:
/. Agreement to stabilize foreign
currencieS.
2. Agreement to reduce arma-
mentS.
8. Trade concessions.
Cancellation would be a small
price for us to pay Mr.. Eccles said,
if such bargain were made.
Complaining that political leaders
had lacked courage to face the
war debt problem, Mr.. Eccles init
mated the public had been en-
couraged to believe foreign debtors
could do the impossible. He said
international debts could be paid
only in goods, gold. or services or in
a combination of those mediums OF
payment.
"If this country is to receive pay
ment," Mr.. Eccles said, cit must buy
and consume more than it produces,
thus creating a trade balance ia
vorable to our debtors. We must
either choose between accepting suf-
f1cient foreign goods to pay the for
eigns debts or cancel those debts.
This is not moral problem, it is
a mathematical one"

State Report for December
Shows Larger 0utgo
Than Expected.

Although half of the civil works
administration employees were drawn
from persons on poor relief, the re-
lief burden of the local commune
ties was lifted but little more than
one-third, according to the Decem-
Der report of the Governors relief
commission made public today.
The report shows that at The
peak period, Dec 81. there were
l04.839 men and women on CWA
projects and exactly half were
drawn from poor relief rolls.
But a sharp increase in apph-
cants for relief in December caused
the decrease over the November
figure to be but 1877 per cent, 1t
was explained.
Total receiving aid in December
was 217,520 and in November,
55,O79, the reduction being 1859,
the report set out. Total spent
from federal, state and local poor
relief funds for December was
S765. 90212, a decrease of $443, 1872 .33,
or 36.3 per cent from the Novem-
Der figure of S1.219, 73445.

NICHOLSON MAY
RELIEVE FARLEY
AS PARTY Chief
Ex- Reporter, Who Made
Life Miserable for G. o. p,
Gains Strength.
BY MARSHALL M'NEIL
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Charles
trouble-shooter extraor-
binary of the Democratic party
since the 1923 defeat of Al Smith, Is
being advanced in some quarters as
the probable successor to James A.
Farley as chairman of the national
committee.
The report in capitol cloakrooms
is that he has important support to
replace Smiling JIM" whose triple
threat political role the White
House apparently wants altered.
The former New York boxing COM
missioner is not only national chair
man, but New York state chairman
and postmaster-genera as well.
Mr.. Nicholson, formerly a New
York newspaper man, first won
fame in politics by his co-manage-
ment with Jouett Shouse of Demo-
cratic headquarters here following
AL Smiths defeat. His statements.
issued in the names Of all sorts OF
Democrats, helped riddle the Re-
publican regime. He was so success
full, in fact, that the G. o. P. fol-
lowed his example and set up It's
own publicity bureau.
Still publicity director of the ma
tional committee, Mr. Nicholson has
allied himself with no factions
within the party and thus has
countless friends.
Before the Chicago convention he
avoided trying to influence the cleo
ton of delegates pledged for one
man or another. At Chicago he took
no hand in the fight for permanent
Craftsmanship of the convention
although his close friend and boss
Mr.. Shouse, was a contender. Hi

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Mar-
riner Stoddard Eccles, 43-year-old
Republican banker and industrialiSt
of Ogden, Utah, assumed high Office
in the United States treasury de-
partment today, his mind teeming
with ideas ranging from cancella-
ton of war debts to remodeling the
structure of society.
Mr.. Eccles' new job is special as
sistant to Secretary Henry A. Nor
genthau. He succeeds Earle Bailie,
Wall street investment banker, who
was driven from the treasury by
congressional protest. Mr.. Bailie re-
manned, however, long enough to
supervise a strikingly successful be-
ginning of the administrations
$4,000, 5000 borrowing program.
Benefit to Agriculture
Mr.. Eccles will complete that job.
For the time being he will occupy
the Office and discharge many OF
the duties of underSecretary.
His plea for cancellation OF war
debts is on record in the senate.
He appeared last February before
Chairman Pat Harrison and the
senate finance committee as wit
ness in what the irreverent came to
term Pat Harrison's best brains
clinic"
Il am a capitalist" Mr.. Eccles
bluntly informed the committee, but
accompanied that statement with
some rather surprising proposals. He
told the committee this government
should cancel war debts or refund
them on a basis amounting to can
collation. and suggested that the
treaSury's loss be recouped from in
come and inheritance taxation.
Cancellation Small Price
mo one would be as greatly
benefited by cancellation of these
debts as American agriculture and
American labor" Mr. Eccles told the
committee. "A comparatively small
portion of our population would
make up this loss to the treasury
through the payment of income and
inheritance taxes which would be
made productive by the revival of
business"
Explaining how he believed agri-
culture and labor would benefit from
cancellation, Mr.. Eccles said in ex-
change for waving the debts the
