GET VIEW Of
BRAIN TRUST
Leading Characters In New

Tours During Summer Months.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 22.-"New
Dealers are scattering through
the nation to show the voters a
few brain trusterS" in the flesh
and to put sectional emphasis on
what has been accomplished since
March 4, 1888
DR.. Rexford Guy Tugwell, un-
dersecretary of agriculture despite
bitter senate minority fight
against him, will tour the country
in his role of brain truster" No. /.
Tugwell departs June "a for Des
Moines.
The Iowa Bankers association will
get a closeup of a brain trust
er" thinking and talking when the
undersecretary speaks at the state
convention. Equally important from
the standpoint of politics and the
new deal' will be Tugwell's ap-
pearance in Brookings, S. D. Farm
ers from adjoining states gather
annually there for a picnic. Tug
well will deliver the principal
handed men of the grain and cattle
country how AAA, planned econ
omy, or what will you, has aided
them.
The northwest, Pacific Coast
states and finally Arizona will see
Tugwell in turn. The journey will
have some aspects of a personal
appearance tour of famous NOV
ing picture star. The farm belt
will discover in Tugwell a collegi-
ate type, handsomer than many
movie heroes.
Farley Also Travels
But the Columbia professor is
not the only prediction traveller.
Postmaster General Farley short
ly will carry his engaging smile
across the country. Nominally
scheduled to dedicate new post
offices, the eX-amateur politician
and New York state boxing COM
missioner will be loaded for votes
as he starts west.
At about the same time Hugh
S. johnson recovery administrator
will launch a nationwide speaking
tour which NRA attaches describe
as a Campaign to resell the blue
eagle to the American public" He
will outline all phases of the re-
covery program, speaking in Is
major cities from New England
to San Francisco.
AS new DEAL campaign strategy
unfolds it becomes evident chat
each section will hear this summer
and with some emphasis about the
unemployment and expenditures
which Mr.. Roosevelt's policies have
made possible.

Knew Hype All Right
did you ever know Hype
Igoe?" 1 asked him.
"Hype," piped the squab,"
"heavenly days, yes. / have
known Hype ever since ] was a
baby SQUAD, south Of the slot
in San Francisco. Those we're
the days, let me tell you. What
great times we used to have in
Jim JeffrieS' saloon.
But 1 started to tell you
about my newspaper career, 1
left the World for the Evening
Mail at a raise in salary"
But just at that moment a
waiter came along and whisked
my plate away and I never did
get to hear the end of the
story.
Walters at all banquets do
their best to make sure that
nobody gets to eat anything.
They must get a rake-off on
the hash from the hotel. But
I do hope that this universal
fate (hash) hasn't yet over
taken my pet SQUAD. and that
he will be in Bronxville waiting
for me when I get there. It's
always nice to have an old
friend around when you have
to make a speech to strangers.
If the diners don't like your
speech and start throwing
things, you know you are going
to have somebody at your
shoulder as you fight your way
out. And I'll bet this SQUAD Of
mine can lick any man in the
house.
His list of KOS reads like
Primo Cameras on the ALL
American sucker tour, and I'll
bet this squad has sold more
bicarbonate of soda and other
quick aids to digestion than all
the drug clerks and soda
jerkers from her to Los An
geles.
This squad of mine is some
bird. In addition to the dis
tinctions listed above he also
posed for General Hugh John
sons NRA Blue Eagle. but he's
not saying much about that
these days.
Lends Enchantment
What I set out to do was to
write column about how dis
tance has lent enchantment to
the baseball magnate's view of
Babe Ruth. Babe had to go all
the way to Japan for them to
discover that there's life in the
old boy yet. But I do hope
they won't snatch him away
from the American League at
the eleventh hour and ruin a
good story for me. He'd go
mighty big in Boston and be
a grand thing for baseball
there.
After all, the future Of the
leagues is closely intertwined.
Indeed, it might turn out for
the best all around to send
Ruth to new pastures. Believe
me, he wants to go.
And now for Bronxville and
Old Badly II. I can hardly
wait to find out what he did
on the Evening Mail.

Of the human race.
It was during the other

dinners, which shall be forever

told me that he used to be a
