A T recent press conference.
L a Mrs. Roosevelt was asked
whether her two younger sons were
doing anything toward observing the
auto safety campaign waged by their
father.
Mrs. Roosevelt replied that as far
as she knew they were driving very
carefully.
Whereupon one of Mrs. Roose-
velt's obvious newspaper friends
spoke up:
Don't you think" she said, that
should be an off the record ques-
tion?"
Il don't see why" replied Mrs.
Roosevelt. 1T was a legitimate news
question and should stand as such. y

DURING a recent press confer
~ ence Secretary Ickes was be-
ing bombarded with questions re-
garding the purchase Of German
steel for PWA projects. Suddenly
the door opened and a messenger
entered, bearing a huge loving cup.
A litter ran through the assem-
bled reporters. Ickes grinned
broadly, then said to the messenger
with mock severity:
young man. don't you know bet
ter than to bring that in at this par
ticular time? Don't you realize
somebody is sure to say it is made
Of German silver?"
well, what is it and what is it
made off" demanded a neWsman.
That is the PWA tennis trophy,
And just to keep the record straight,
it is made of 100 per cent Ameri-

NEW PHASE
FEATURES
WAR CRISIS

Copyright, 1885, By United Press
The Ethiopian crisis appears
to be passing into new phase. The
new and the old, the idealistic and
the realistic, are the forces at play
Boiled down to its essence, the
Franco-British peace plan is an old
fashioned diplomatic deal in which
the strong impose their judgment
upon the weak to protect their in
terestS.
France and Britain evidently
have decided that they have more
to gain by ending the East African
war-even if they have to dismem-
ber Emperor Halle SelaSsie's king
dom-than by pressing the league
of nations sanctions war" against
Italy to its bitter conclusion.
If the league never had been
brought into the picture few would
question success of France and
Britain in buying Italy off with
generous portions of a weak mon-
arch'S territory. But Geneva de-
cidedly must be reckoned with.
The reason?-Adolf Hitler.
If the league fails to curb Mus
solini, many countries believe the
dictator OF Germany will not fear to
upset the European applicant when
his armies have grown big enough.
Therefore, they look upon the Italo-
Ethiopian crisis as the proving
ground of the leagues ability to
maintain the postwar status quo.
Rome dispatches make it pretty
definite that Mussolini will accept.
Premier Laval and Sir Samuel
Hoare offer him half of Ethiopia
about four times as much of the
country as II Duce's troops have
been able to conquer in more than
two months in which the Ethiopians
have offered only scattered opposi-
tion.
Adds Ababa dispatches likewise
make it pretty definite that the con-
quering lion of judah will reject the
deal.

This suit is a direct attack upon

fighting the legal battles of this

the board did not wish to recon-
mend Childers, then some other

NEW DEAL
 IN WASHINGTON
Snipers Lay Of Johnson After His Plea for MIRA ... General Sometimes Had His Signals Crossed ... What He Will Do Next Is Riddle . Eyes Senate Berth.
By RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington
 Correspondent

Washington, April 23-There were no sharp questions and no ex- plosions when Gen Hugh s. John- son went before the senate finance committee to urge congress not to toss MIRA down the drain-pipe.
 Everybody, including the general himself, was surprised and disap- pointed at that.
 But the explanation is simple: Even at the end of their investiga- tion, senators were too ignorant or l too porly grounded as to the MIRA and it's operation to give the gen. eral a battle.
 Earlier in the hearings some of NRA's enemies on the committee had launched attacks which clearly demonstrated their ignorance and the MIRA boys had brought in facts or near facts which made them feel silly.
 They were thoroughly cowed by the time Johnson took the stand. Later he asked Senator Bennett Clark: "Why didn't you question me and give me good panning?" Johnson's 30,000-word statement had been worked out with the MIRA legal and research and planning sections, which supplied facts, charts, and exhibits for him and provided a rosy picture, with nu- merous admissions of error. Signals Get Crossed
 There are those who accuse the | general of fuzzy and this impression was not entirely re- moved. He explained that when he had said MIRA Is as dead as the l dodo," he had meant the MIRA ad- 1 ministration. But at the time he made the remark, the chairman of the MIRA board was S. Clay Will Hams, whom Johnson describes as 'the best man who ever came to ! NRA."
 He admitted that during his work on the statement with MIRA officials he had found the MIRA board had done 6 much better job than he supposed. But he still cannot imagine a successful MIRA operated by a board.
 Johnson again in one-man com mand-and Donald Richberg back practicing law in Chicago.
 Eyes on Senate Berth Johnson, according to certain Oklahomans, would like to run for the senate next year to replace Tom Gore.
 But he won't announce for the 1 democratic nomination unless he is convinced he has good chance to win. Thus far he isn't very hope full.
 Gore is a member of the finance committee. He had asked many questions about MIRA which were nasty and cockeyed at the same item. But he made no effort to take the general over the jumps. This Changes the Story
 Benny Smith, the famous-and cagey-little Wall street operator. told a different story that the one
