To RESIGN

The story that Postmaster Gen.

rection Of the next Democratic
political campaign did not receive
any support from the White
House today, nor from any close
friend of the President and Mr..
Farley.
In fact the trend Of the Ad-
miniStration's talk on the subject
was to deny that Postmaster Gen
oral Farley would resign from the
cabinet. His resignation from
the. post OF Democratic National
Committeeman appeared to be
much more likely. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Farley likes the
cabinet, and that President Roose-
welt is not averSe to having him re-
main q member Of it.
Administration denial Of this
story was accompanied also by an
air of complete ignorance concern.
ing a twin rumor that Secretary
Roper would resign from the De-
partment Of Commerce to accept
the Post Office job which would
be left vacant if Mr.. Farley re-
signed. 1t is understood the De-
partment Of Commerce has been
buzzing with this rumor for some
time, and Secretary Roper's
friends say it is part of a plan to
bring about his reSignatio n
through the old-faShioned idea of
making the wish the father Of the
thought.

CHERRY BLOOMS
WHIPPED OFF

Whipped by northeast gale,
an all-night drizzle beating down
on the cherry blossoms fringing
the Tidal Basin, brought an end
to the National Capitals annual
spectacle of beauty today as
thousands of tourists prepared to
leave for their homes.
Officials reported that between
$4,000 and 10000 persons
braved cloudy skies yesterday to
enjoy the fading blossoms: Hotels
were taxed to capacity and many
of the visitors were forced to trek
to Frederick, Md, and Fredericks-
burg, Va, for accommodations.
Today the crumpled, lifeless
petals were falling from the trees.
Park officials reported the
cherry trees along the Speedway
are expected to bloom in 10 days
or two weeks.
Continuous drizzle throughout
today with little change in tenn
perature was forecast by the
Weather Bureau. The river had
not started to rise, and there were
no reports of. flood conditions
upstream. No damage is antici-
pated unless the rain increases.
The annual invasion of tourists
attracted by the cherry blossoms,
reached a climax over the week
end. BY train. automobile and
bus they arrived by the thou
sands.
Police in nearby Maryland and
Virginia reported every available
tourist house filled with tourists
who could find no accommoda-
tionS in t he city. Every rooming
house in Washington was filled.
