It must seem something like old times to "Bossy" Gillis. The boisterous offi- cial of some years ago has vanished. To- day we have new Andrew J. GilliS. And he's mayor of his home town, Newbury- port, once more. A smashing victory this week gives him chance to show his fel- low townsmen how he has changed his ideas and how dignified public per- sonage he has become And that prob ably will spell the end of his reign in the public eye. Dignified individuals don't dwell long there.

 This is the third phase of the most comprehensive income tax probe ever undertaken by a a secretary of the treasury.
 Morgenthau began with the higher bracket incomes. Then, ar guing that it was not fair to scrutinize these alone, he extend- ed the checking to all income tax returns. As result millions of dollars have rolled into the treas ury.
 FINALLY, Morgenthau argued that his own treasury officials should not escape, in fact should be subjected to more rigorous in- vestigation. They have been. Not only income tax returns, but bank accounts have been scrutinized- even those of the Secret Service.
 AS A RESULT, one out of every five income tax inspectors in New York has been dropped. Chief reason was .suspiciously large bank accounts.
 Chief Issue
 Tn the coming Congressional struggle over next years budget the chief issue will be the ques- tion of relief expenditures.
 The popular conception of this melee is of a battle between the Administration, which favors re- lief outlays, and the budget ball. ancers who do not. Actually the tug-of-war will be three-cornered.
 Sharply differing from these two is a third powerful group state and city governments. They want larger federal relief.
 This was the keynote of the re- cent Mayors Conference in Washington. The mayors charged that the Administration has quietly unloaded on them the bulk of the relief burden.
 It is a general belief-and one carefully fostered by the Admin istratiOn-that the federal gov- ernment is carrying the heavy end of the relief load. Particularly IS this idea prevalent In regard to the so-called "employable" idle. One-Half Relief
 The truth is that the states and municipalities are now sweating under the larger half of the re- lief burden.
 In the last few months, the federal government has unloaded on them not only the full weight of the "unemployables", but is requiring the localities to put up

A Good Word

Such an. amendment must, to the National Association of Manufacturers, be the first step in sovietizing the United States. Anything savoring of the regula- ton of wages or working condi- tions by the government of all the people is Bolshevism in its most horrible aspect. Whatever tends to interfer with big busi- ness in the happy practice of turning its hatchet-men loose on impotent competitors means the annihilation of the American System" which 1t worships. But to treason the National Catholic Welfare Council has added her. esy. It actually says a good word for the NRA:--
 sIf employees had been rep- resented (adequately of course)
 in the associations which drew up the MIRA industrial codes and in the authorities which administered the code pr0vi- sions, the MIRA and it's institu- tions would have been fairly comparable with the proposed occupational groups. Had the MIRA been permitted to con- tinue, it could readily have de- yeIoped into the kind of indus trial order recommended by the Holy Father"

Too Bad!

The platform of the National Association of Manufacturers adopted at the close of its ses. sions was printed in its entirety in the New York Times of De- cember 6. A totally inadequate summary of the statement issued by the N.C.W.C. was given a half column in the same newspaper. The exigencies of space may be charged with the difference in the publicity given the separate news items. It Is unfortunate. however, that the two could not have been presented page to page at the same time for purposes of comparison by those interested in the affairs of government whe, next October. will decide whethsi they will align thenMelves wiN reaction or progress, with tn powers of darkness or the engeA Of light.

It wasn't desire to carve path into the western wildernesses that prompted Daniel Boone to open up Kentucky and Tennessee to our pioneers. Good old Dani1 was just one jump ahead of the process servers when he fled into the then impenetrable forests An official indexing old land records in Virginia has just dis covered that Boone was wanted for non- payment of debt.

MRS.ROOSEvELT.
SHY Of WOMAN
PRESIDENT

Despite the fact that she is a
militant feminist, Mrs. Roosevelt
today expressed her disapproval
of the movement to draft women
for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency of the United States.
Pointing out that she has al
ways believed that women must
be we'll prepared for whatever
they attempt, she declared that
she cannot think of any woman
at the present time who is quail
fled to fill either post.
She said, in fact, that any OF
the "fair sex" who would be
elected to either the Presidency or
Vice Presidency would do more
harm to the feminist cause than
good.
For the post of Vice President,
she pointed out, the candidate
should have considerable legisla-
tive experience, and there isn't
any woman who has sufficient of
this type of training to qualify,
she said.
Mrs. Roosevelt add:
81 am a firm believer that
women can do anything. But
we must remember that women
now are making precedentS,
and il they should fail in a job,
they put the cause of woman
back.
women must come up slowly.
They must know every step of
the way in the work they are
following, mainly because they
have a double battle to fight in
blazing a trail for their SEX"
She added that although there
are numerous very competent
women in public life, they do not
have the training necessary for
either of the two executive posts.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb.
IL N.N.SD.-T will attain the
highest speed pOssibIe!"
In so many words today Sir
Malcolm Campbell, worlds auto
mobile speed king, indicated "the
sky is the limit" in his approach
ing conquest to lower his own
blazing mark Of 272 miles per
hour.
Inclement weather and condi-
ton of the speedway beach today
delayed the test trial run for the
second time.
Sir Malcolm inspected the
beach and decided it was not in
fit condition to try his Blue
bird"
His record attempt, the fourth
in this country, and his first
since he set the present world
mark here two years ago, prob,
ably will come in two weeks. Sir
Malcolmn told International News
Service:
What my speed in the Blue
bird will be this year do not
know. For there are so many
things dependent upon this
point. First, there is the neces-
Sity for a good beach, then the
performance of the machine
itself, and other facts which
one cannot absolutely control.
However, I will attain the high
est speed possible"
Only two years ago many ex.
pert drivers and mechanics
laughed at the thought of the
Englishman attaining his present
record.
This year the driver is conf.
dent that he will boost the record.
He has announced that it is his
ambition to blaze blistering trail
Of "at least five miles a minute, -
or 800 miles per hour. But, he
says, the Bluebird may be capable
of 400 miles per hour. The tires
are tested for more than 300
miles"
No one knows, not even those
who built it, how fast the five-ton
monster will go.

BIRTH CONTROL
APPROVED BY
PEARL BUCK

Birth control might be incor.
porated in the New Deal, says
Pearl S. Buck, the 42-year-old in
ternationally-known author, who
is in washington today, solely to
attend the dinner tonight at the
Mayflower Hotel in commemora-
ton of the twenty-first birthday
of the birth control movement in
the United States.
In an interview today Mrs. Buck
says:
1.-THE sensible thing about
birth is that it should be made
part of the relief program. The
Deople who can't afford it are
not able to get birth control in
formation, and they need 1t. 1t
ought to be available to both
rich and poor"
QUESTION OF TINE
It is only a question OF time
when the dissemination OF Sucn
information will become legal. said
Mrs. Buck, unless the people OF
America wish to go back to more
primitive methods of living due to
an eventual over-croWded popula-
ton. She added:
1--WE can't go backwards.
Mrs. Buck became interested IN
birth control, she said, through
Mrs. Margaret Sanger. She said
she admired Mrs. Sanger be
cause she is so fearless"
Lives Her Plots
Speaking about herself, Mrs.
Buck said that she can't use notes
when she writes a book, and she
never makes an outline form of
her story. Instead, she lives in
her plot, and with her characters,
until she has it all in her mind.
Then she begins to write her
story.
Mrs. Buck, the mother of two
daughters, 10 and IA, has lived
in China almost entirely for the
past 81 years. But she plans to
make America her home.
