coerce Senators into voting for the

now tied up In committee because Of a
wage dispute. The Secretary added
that the Presidents action was taken
on December 29-before the works
row arose and before Congress met.
He said the reason the funds were i'm
pounded was Because the President
saw they would be needed for relief
Some Senators have complained
that pressure was being exerted on
them because some Of their States

Ickes explained that all P. w. A.

"The order was not issued to crack

Seen,

that the British government had
stepped in with its equalization fund
to check sensational slump in the
pound sterling was heard in financial
circles tonight after the pound had
touched ATTN in United States dol
lars, low record since october, 1928.

situation in this country. allegedly
arising from exaggerated rumors.
The dollar closed at 4.79% to the
pound. representing loss of about 8
cents in two days. In terms of French
gold francs the pound sank from 1890
to 7l.64.

ling drop calmly, generally blaming
the weakness on talking the pound

what Paris worried about most was
that the decline in the pound might

The Book World

A BOOK unique in that it will not only be in
IA valuable for anthropologists but for the lay
man interested in a simple and lucid account OF
the American Indian and his life is The Crow
Indians" by Robert H. LOWE Farrar d Rine-
hart; So.
Mr. LOWE is an anthropologist of note and is
professor Of anthropology at the University OF
California. He has been deeply interested in the
Crow Indians for years and his book is the cul-
mination Of nearly 30 years Of study.
The book unravels much OF the weird and
complicated systems Of tribal organization and
taboos and altogether is a completely clear and
easy-to-read study of great race OF people.

Max changes his name to M. Worden Pierce,
marries money becomes a wealthy banker and

COMMENDABLE GESTURE

ONE of the best goodwill stunts Of the
~ summer is the action taken by James E.
Van Zandt, national chairman of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, in inviting delega-
ton of Japanese army and navy reservists
to tour the United States and attended the ma
tional convention of the v. F. w. in New
orleans on Sept. IS.
The invitation has been accepted, and four
retired army and navy officers have been
designated at Toxic to make the trip. They
will represent the japanese Reservists' Asso-
citation, which numbers some 100000 ex-serv-
ice men.
Little things like this can have a great
deal of Importance. The reasons why Japan
and America should be friends are weghtier
than the reasons why they should be enc
mics Bringing the representatives Of two
great service organizations together in a COR
dial host-and-guest relationship will help to
remind us of it-and will make the MAIN
tenance of peace just that much easier.

ON OPEN MINDS

The announcement Of Rep. John w.
Boehne Jr. of Evansville that he has def
initely decided to vote for the so-called death
sentence" provision of the holding company
bill comes to Indiana like refreshing breeze.
Rep. Boehne was one of the seven Indiana
congressman who deserted President Roose-
welt in the battle with the power trust and
cast their votes on the side of the lobby.
The scandalous revelations of the last
week concerning the chicanery Of the lobby
in taking names out of the telephone books,
city directories and even from tombstones
has completely disguised Mr. Boehne.
L have become momentarily more cha
grined by the sordid story of the part played
by utility lobbyists in this matter" declared
Boehne in announcing he would switch his
vote
The Indiana congressman is delivering
proof to the electorate back home that he
is attending to his duties with an open mind.
1t is far cry from the stand expressed by
Rep. Louis Ludlow Of indianapolis, who de-
clared to newspapermen in Washington that
no matter what evidences of chicanery were
disclosed, his vote with the power trust would
stand intact.
That attitude might be called the CLOSED"
mind.

WE WANT A VACATION

TT is very hot day in the spot where this
u article is being written. The thermometer
stands at go outside and it is going to go
higher pretty soon. There isn't any wind
and if there were it would be a hot one Like
every one else who is at work, the writer feels
warm and uncomfortable.
All of this is put down. not in the belief
that the general public is especially interested
in working conditions in newspaper offices, but
because it somehow is a gentle reminder that
our Representatives and Senators are also
suffering from the heat.
Washington dispatches are full of sad de-
tails about the weather in the capital. We
read that congressional nerves and tempers
are getting all warped out of shape with the
heat, that senatorial medical expert is
shaking his head sadly over the possible re-
suits, and that Congress as whole wants
to wind everything up quickly and get home.
1t is easy to sympathize with any one who
is too warm. And yet it is no more than fair
to rise and remark that congressman are not
the only people in that predicament these
days.
After all, the Capitol building is nicely air
cooled. Congressman may have been working
steadily ever since January-but what of it?
Joe Doakes, back home, has been working
steadily ever since the fall of Iceland he
hasn't a spacious, air-cooled chamber to work
in either nor does he drag down any $4,000
a year for his pains.
The kitchen of big bakery is not cool
place these days; neither is railroad round
house, nor a gasoline filling station on SUM-
baked corner, nor the operators corner of a
steam shovel, nor the space behind the counter
in a 5-and-1O nor a hundred other places
where the constituents of congressman earn
their daily bread.
Congress may find Washington hot. So do
all the rest of us find the places where we
work. 1t would be nice if we could suddenly
vote ourselves vacation, to run until the
first of January but we can't do it, and it is
a little bit hard to work up very much SYM
pathy over the plight of the legislators
To put it more concisely, these walls about
the sufferings of Congress are pain in the
neck Our Solons aren't suffering from the
heat half as much as the rest of us are. AS
a matter of fact they have it pretty soft.
And so, if they have work to do-as appar-
entity they have-it would be a fine thing if
they would buckle down and do it, without
quite SO much self-pity. Compared with the
overwhelming majority of their constituents,
congressman lead pretty easy life
