Good Evening.
SPRING FEVER

All in week what change
 Where lately, it was drab and drear; Forsythia in profusion, yellow gold, Radiates color and cheer. Magnolias pink have reached full bloom, Hyacinths and daffodils make show; Dandelions dot lawns velvety green, See the first feathery shadbow! Spring flowers are bright in your yard, The weeks wash adds color to the scene; Naples grow greener even as you look, And over all Springs first hay sheen The first warm days are lazy ones,
 And you drag deck chairs to the lawn; As the thermometer mounts and mounts All you do is yawn.

HONOR is ACCEPTED
BY MRS. ROOSEVELT
Mother of President Honorary
Chairman of Golden Rule
Mothers Day Group.

Mrs. James Roosevelt. mother Of the
President, has accepted the honorary
chairmanship Of the Golden Rule
Mothers day Committee preparing for
the Nationwide celebration OF Moth
ers' day, May IL.
The announcement, made today,
said observances are being planned to
focus attention upon the Nations hos
pital needs by celebrating Hospital
day and Florence Nightingale's birth
day on the same date.
The committees slogan. Observe
Mothers day in the Golden Rule
way" is supported by facts showing
1851 privately-supported hospitals,
1897 orphanages and 1888 homes for
the aged, received $4,000, 900 less in
contributions last year than the mini
mum amount needed for normal oper-
ating expenses. It Is impossible to
meet emergency situations resulting
from unemployment because of this
reduced income, statements declared.
Privately-supported hospitals, homes
for the aged, orphanages and welfare
agencies, it was pointed out, cannot
share In Federal relief funds, yet they
are called upon for q major part of the
service rendered the sick.

What's What
BehindNews
In Capital
Roosevelt Co mpro-
mise" Found to Be
Too One-Sided.
BY PAUL MALLON.

"HE congressional cloak rooms
have coined new phrase
The Roosevelt compromise"
i The use of the word "Roose-
welt" before compromise
gives it the same adverse meaning
as the word Bronx" before cheer
1t implies that you lose your hat. coat
vest and trousers, and all you have
is your face.
The phrase has its root derivation
in the congressional experience with
the White House on the new relief
bill.
There ,Uas no secret about the
fact that all the restrictions placed
on President Roosepeffs proposed
expenditure OF s4,88e. 100000 are
merely pretended restrictions ,phich
do not restrict him at all.
It is not quite 50 well known that
the SPECIFIC restriction requiring MI
Roosevelt to send the names Of his
new relief directors to the Senate for
confirmation Is an even greater joke.
Ickes Protected.
The Senate inserted that restriction
so it could prevent Interior Secre-
tary Ickes from getting control Of any
part of the new relief set-up. But
the New Dealers put their lawyers to
work on the wording of the amend
ment and found it would not affect
Mr.. Ickes in the small part for which
he is slated.

IN HIGHER COURT

viction in Income Tax
Case.
BY the Associated Press.

T. Morris Wampler, Washington
attorney, now serving q sentence of 10
months in the Northeastern Peniten-
tiary at Lewisburg, Pa, on conviction
of evading Federal income taxes for
1880 and 1881. lost today in his effort
to challenge by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings jurisdiction of the Federal
District Court for Maryland in trying
and sentencing him. The Supreme
Court refused to review his petition
for q hearing
The Pennsylvania Federal District
Court dismissed the habeas corpus
proceedings and its action was sus-
tanned by the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals.
Wampler contended his residence
and principal place of business was
Washington and that he should have
been tried in the courts here.
The Government contended the
consolidation of the District of Co
lumbia in the internal revenue COL
lection district of Maryland gave
the Federal District Court In Mary
land jurisdiction over cases involving
tax returns filed with the collector of
internal revenue at Baltimore.
Wampler was fined 5000 and SEN
fenced to IL months imprisonment on
conviction of reporting $412 taxes for
1880, when $4.547 was due, and sass
for 1891 when $l5,0lS was due.

The White House mirrors, which
ordinarily reflect the Presidents
thoughts, are conveying an impression
that Mr.. Roosevelt will choose q busi-
ness man as the next Postmaster
General.
Such an astounding thing has
neper been thought of seriously in
Washington before. The idea Of
not hdDing a politician to run the
Post ONCE Department is Dision
Which has been seen only by the
radicals. II violates O custom
Which has been followed By all
modern Presidents, Republican and
Democratic.
No. names are being mentioned.
Many months will pass before Farley
confines his activities to the chair
manship Of the Democratic National
Committee, so there Is plenty Of time.
Blanton Outburst Applauded.
The Blanton outburst against the
press in the House few days ago was
applauded by an unusually large
number of members Of Congress.
The explanation Is that the average
member Of Congress and the average
public official suffer alike from chronic
press-persecution completes. Most
men in public life have exaggerated
ideas of the importance of the things
they are doing. Many sincerely be-
lieve that, If the public knew all
about them, they would be elected
President. or something equally lofty
But in the recent tremendous
growth OF big ne,Ds about New Deal
doings, the Average Congressman
and the average public Official hare
been consigned to epen deeper press
obscurfty. Speeches are no longer
considered of importance. Action
is the thing the people t0ant to
knoU about.
The next major legal challenge to
arrest the New Deal soon will be
made on the constitutionality Of the
N. r. A. The case is now being pre-
pared.

1t will affect only those relief direc-
tors who have not already been con-

gets his pay from the Interior De-

Only Hopkins gets his pay from the

A significant scene was frequently
repeated at the White House last
year. Senator Wagner would come
out of q conference with the Presi-
dent every once in q while and say
in response to questions, that he
thought his bill would go through
Stories were always circulated just
