MARKET DIGS IN

Of ANXIETY
BY THE WALL ST. SPECTATOR

BY THE WALL ST. SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, March 28 Q.N.S)
Wall Street is having one Of its
frequent panicky moments after
the Presidents stand on the regu
lation bill. 1t may be significant
however, that the market dug in
stubbornly after that opening spill
and was trying to do better the
rest Of the day.
Another thing intelligent trad.
ers are noting is that the market
hasn't broken wide open despite
the bad news recently, and that a
number of stocks are holding
around their lows Of the current
decline.
Apparently the Fletcher Ray.
burn bill isn't facing the smooth
est sailing in Congress. This is
one explanation of the Presidents
support Of the revised bill, which
took many people by surprise.
Whta influence the rebellion in
the House on the appropriations
measure will have is causing con-
siderable speculation.

OF various congressman TO LLl1S
statement Is one Of several indi-
cations Of growing criticism Of
the New Deal. New Deal meas
ures are clearly facing stronger
opposition. It is no longer trea-
son to question them.
More than that, this statement
will help to increase the tendency
to organize the criticism and to
focus it upon fundamentals.
There has been need to go to
the roots Of the New Deal, and
examine the scheme as a whole,
including the philosophy that lies
back of it.
Thus far, New Deal measures
. have been considered too much as
emergency expedients. DR.. Wirt's
: statement will lead many people
to inquire whether they are lead
ing U.S.
I do not think we are going
to take the ''pl0t" too seriously.
UnquestiOnably group, or
groups, Of young radicals have
laid schemes. Some Of them
are socialists. Some are revO-
: lutiOnarieS. It may be as well
to have them brought out into
the open. But what can they
do? This is not Russia.
And there is one fatal weakness
in the alleged technique Of the
Brain Trusters. They are on the
horns Of a dilemma. # they were
actually in control, they could
do only two things, either one of
which would wreck them.
@ (D They could fan an infla-
tionary boom. Then the people
would be pleased with things as
they are, and would soon lose in
tereSt in SocialiStic reforms"
Moreover, when the final collapse
Of such q boom came, the Brain
Trusters would be the ones in
power. They would reap the
blame.
(2) They could do, as is al
legged they are now doing, and
prolong the depression, hoping to
increase popular discomfort to
revolutionary boiling point. But
if this were their game, they
would be the ones to be boiled.
The lOngeg the unemployment
and economic maladjustment
exist, the surer it is that those
now in power are going to lose
prestige. Already increasing
doubt is apparent. People will
not forever be content with be-
ing told that we are ION the
way" Eventually another New
Deal will be demanded.
Nor could the Brain Trusters
then continue to pass the buck
back to the bankers" capital
ists." or rugged individualists."
People would say, 1--WE have heard
that before" They would say to
the Brain Truster, "You have
been running the show for two
years-away with you."

Of the President is leading him to
go slower in reforms. and to leave
more to Congress. When the
Brain Trust blows up, I doubt if
he win be with it.
A certain foreign element in
America always fails to under
stand American sentiment" That
j embraces great practical sense
and capacity to appreciate eco
nomic fairness. It includes
deadly sense Of humor. It tends
to favor having q chance at a
chicken in the pot above a
certainty Of communiStic soup.

Robin Clark Builds Lovely Estate on Edge
II, Of Woods-Writer Tells Of His
Remarkable Stables

Mr.. Robin Clark, Of Coopers-
town, N. Y, the latest addition
to the Virginia hunting section,
has bought a part Of Admiral
Cary Graysons place, near Up
perville, Va, a field from Paul
Mellon, and several other fields,
making a lovely estate. A stone
house has almost been completed
on q site on the edge of the
woods overlooking the Blue Ridge.
Capt. Sam Marshall is man
ager of Mr.. Clark's place. The
Captain and Mrs. Marshall have
been living near Middleburg for
about two years, helping Mr..
Clark buy land and develop his
place.
Mrs. Marshall is from Mil
waukee, and Captain Marshall
from Richmond, Va. We feel
that they belong to the COM
munity, they have made such a
place in the hearts of all Of US.
Down in a field in front Of
his house Mr.. Clark has built
the stables.
/, Unusual Stables
I will try to describe the stables
to you, for they seem to be the
most complete and comfortable ]
have ever seen. They are built OF
stone and clapboards, in a rec
tangular shape. You go through
stone gate posts into a courtyard
Going off from the gate on either
side is q high stone all.
AS you enter the gate, you face
three long stone arches. Above
these arches, forming the second
and third stories, is clapboard;
these stories contain TWO enormous
bins, one holding a carload OF
bran, the other two carloads OF
oats.
Leading out from the ends OF
the three stone arches that face
east, are two other arches. These
lead out to the runway in front
of the box stalls, eight high we'll
ventilated stalls on each side.
Opposite each door are two large
windows quite high up, and at
the back and bottom of each stall
is a ventilator about 8x10 feet.
The stalls are always dry and
well ventilated.
1Over these box stalls are the
hay lofts, where straw is also
kept, and at the end of stalls to
right, as you go through gate
into courtyard, is a large car
fiage-house of stone.
Tile Covered Floor
To the left a large tack and
cleaning room, of stone also. The
floor Of the tack room is covered
with lovely maroon coloTed
squares of tile 8 inches square,
alternating with 8-inch squares
of marble colored tile. In here
are also racks for Is saddles, and
Brides, joy to look at.
: Entering door from the back
Of arches, you find a spacious
feed room, with stoves and all
conveniences for bran mashes.

In one hay loft room some lovely
sleighs took my eye.
The bins are wonderfully car
ried out, very heavy mesh wire
covers the ceiling and is also
between the rafters and wooden
walls. The doors are covered on
inside with heavy tin, so rats
have no chance of getting the
feed.
Scarlet and Gray
At the back of stables, on the
second and third floors, are large
doors, with pulleys to take in the
feed on third floor and hay and
straw on second floor. All the
clspboard part of stable Is scarlet
and the roof gray, Mr.. Clark'S
racing colors. I don't see how a
stable could be more perfect, and
I know there are a lot of details
that I have forgotten, although
Jack Ludwig, the head man, a
Scotchman, was SO kind in show
ing me over it.
Out the back door of the feed
room to the west, around a circle
that will have flowers in it, is q
blacksmith shop, with every con-
venience that Mr.. Thomas could
wish for when he comes out from
Upperville to do the shoeing. On
either side Of the shop are two
houses. for the grooms. Further
down to the right is an indoor
riding room to exercise the horses
in bad weather, and a riding hall
is almost finished, which is for in
door shows, riding and exercising.
A greenhouse is opposite. I did
not have time to go to see all the
farm buildings that are finished
and going up. My afternoon was
complete when two things hap
pened.
First Gloomy Gus came along,
ridden by Sammy walters, put
his nose up to be petted, remem-
bering me. Second Jack Ludwig

The Wrangell sentinel., 1934-12-21

This phase of a snowless winter Is more acute in the interior and colder regions than on. the coast. Without a protecting layer of snow, frost penetrates deeper into the ground until 1t reaches water supply pipes and drainage systems of cities. Unusual as this condition is on the coast. 1t Is becoming an acute problem in the interior this year. Still more serious will be the results next summer when miners will find a lac of water for their hydraulic operations.
 Hundreds of tons of supplies for mining claims are awaiting a fall of snow which will provide a win ter highway for the usual winter freighting. Mine owners are al- ready far behind on their freight ing schedules and one mine in par ticular is going to be seriously handicapped in it's summers opera tion if new ore mill is not gotten on the move soon. Sleds, tractors and men are all ready to go but the snow mantle has failed to ar- rive.

INTERIOR ALASKA SUFFERS
 FROM LACK OF SNOWFALL

Mild weather continued last week to prevail generally over AL aska, said the Alaska Press of Ju- neau last Friday With the exeep- tion of Cordoya, where a 55-mile gale ragged for more than an hour ] few days ago, reports from the Territory were of uniform cheer fulness. Flowers are still blooming in Sitka and Wrangell yards. No yember frosts took some of them but the middle of December still finds enough left to make Califor- nians worry.
 Lack of snow throughout the in terior is causing some of the sour doughs to worry and ice pool fans are wondering if there will be enough snow to move the ice next spring at Nenana. There is not enough snow from Nome to the Copper river and from Egegik to Fort Yukon to make a snow ball. says the Anchorage Times. No freezing temperatures are reported by coast towns and a recent day showed IS above and no snow at Mccarthy.
 A snowless winter, however, is not as attractive to interior resi- dents as to those on the coast.
 Snow is being missed for blank citing and warming the ground.

No Mortgage Required

Neither endorsers nor collateral are required, the borrower having in fact the best endorser in the world, Uncle Sam, Pegues ex- plained. It is, in truth, the first time in history that a nation has undertaken to underwrite the notes of it's people.
 Occasionally the remark is made by conservative business men anent the modernization program to the effect that people should not be encouraged to go into debt" said MT. Pegues. Even among those who fully realize the low cost and high degree of safety of loans to repair and improve real property, this observation is sometimes taken quite seriously. And yet, it is based upon failure to make a distinction between two totally different kinds of debt, namely, debt incurred in the making of an equivalent in vestment and debt contracted to pay for goods or services currently consumed"
