L gest part of the job will not
b. completed until after Congress
quits, but you can see the first signs
of it behind the assignment OF Charles
West as Assistant Secretary Of Interior.
1t is an open secret at the White
House that Mr.. Vests success as a
liaison officer with Congress was not
outstanding. This Is not reflection
on Mr.. West. He is a good conciliator,
but only with gentlemen and not with
wolves. What the White House needed
for that Job was lion-tamer. This
function now is being served by Vice
President Garner, even to the extent
that Senate Floor Leader Robinson
can be spared occasionally for a few
speeches back home.
At the same time there seemed to
be need for liaison officer between
the White House and the Interior De-
partment. Recent misunderstanding
there have not been so conspicuous
as those with Congress, but are sufi-
GENTLY important to engage Mr.. Vests
talents.
incidentally, Mr.. West will be in
line for the secretaryship If Mr.. Ickes
ever decides to take a judgeship.

SCHULTZ LEDGER
RETURNED BY COURT
Former Beer Baron Scores Point
at Income Tax Evasion
Trial.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSS.
MALONE, N. Y. July 29.-The de-
Tense in the income tax evasion trial
of Arthur Dutch Schultz) Flegen-
heimer scored today when Federal
Judge Frederick H. Bryant ordered
returned to Schultz the famous black
ledger which was the spring board OF
the Governments case.
Prosecutor John H. Burke hao

with entries in the various Schultz
bank accounts.
Then Burke offered the ledger in
evidence.
James M. Noonan, defense attorney,
leaped to his feet with objections. He
commended that the book had been
illegally seized by Federal agents from
Schultz's headquarters in the Bronx
Judge Bryant agreed with him.

A similar explanation lies behind
the Virgin Islands shdke-up. The
White House did not care for the
1uay things iDere going, decided to
get rid of Coz. Pearson and Judge
Wilson. The Shake-up tDas ar
ranged automatically so that
epery one mould Sape his face
uhile losing his official head.
Mr.. Roosevelt even went to the
extent of lifting a letter from what
is now known as his kiss of death,
form letter Al. expressing his deep
appreciation of the services of those
who must depart.
Incidentally, the Justice Department
was not as sorry as it pretended to
be in making place for Judge Wilson
on the Parole Board. Authorities
there had long been hoping to make
a place for some one on that board.
Shuttle Excludes Kings.
If you will piece these incidents to-
gether and couple them with others
like the recent transfer of capable
Assistant Commerce Secretary Dickin-
son to the Justice Department. you
will have a hint of changing inner
condition here within your plain sight.
President Roosevelt is reshufling his
Jacks and queens. He has not come
to the cabinet kings yet. In fact,
there are evidences Of Discrimination
to go into that situation very vigorous
ly in the face of the very warm politi-
cal situation which is developing.
But deeper than these things.
1t discloses a fundamental dis
satisfaction at the top tpith the
way things hare been going; also
desire to reuse and rebolster the
New Deal in the matter OF per-
sonnet.
Those closest to the Securities and
Exchange Commission keyhole noted
some time ago that Chairman Ken
needy was making a few personal
preparations to get back to private
business, probably in the Fall. Lately
they have seen some further activities
along this line.
Will Be Asked to Stay.
The President undoubtedly will try
to get Kennedy to stay. He is now
about the only conservative balance
remaining liz the official family. A
higher and more interesting job may
be offered him as bait.
