BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Me-, November "a
Representative Hamilton Fish. jr., of
New York suggested here last night
creation Of a new Federal depart
ment of creative works" to stimulate
industry by developing inventions.
Fish, who spoke to the Republican
Lincoln Club with former Gov. Per-
cival P. Baxter, said the suggestion
was his answer to Democratic charges
that the Republican party had offered
nothing constructive to replace the
New Deal.
The department conceived by Fish
would develop worthwhile patents
filed in the United States Patent Of
fee and not developed by their inven-
tors within one year.
Fish called the Patent ONCE "the
greatest patent mine Of wealth and
employment on earth"
within it are ideas and inventions
that could make it a complete power
house Of prosperity" he said.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Roosevelt Confident of
Reelection After Re-
port of Observers.
BY PAUL MALLON.

rF THERE are any doubts out ir
the country about President
Roosevelt's reelection, there are
Il none at the White House. In fact
Mr.. Roosevelt himself. practically an
nounced it the other day. His listeners
failed to catch 1t, but, IN his speech to
the mayors, he said near the end:
81 think the time is coming, not
this coming 1885, session OF Con-
gress, because toe hope that it iDiE
be pery short session, but by the
tollotping year. when all OF us cam
get together, and sit around q
table and ,Dork out better sys-
tenn OF TAXATION"
The year following 1896 is the one
in which MIR. Roosevelt's present term
expires at noon, January 20.
Tension Is Relaxed.
This might be written of as tongue
slip, except that a significant corre-
spending relaxation of tension has
been noticeable inside the White
House. 1t started about two weeks
ago.
For one thing, Mr.. Roosevelt went
off to Warm Springs few days earlier
than originally planned. Also. before
his departure, he had been leaving his
Office each day around 4:30 pm, in
stead of the usual pm. His asso-
ciates have adopted a similar easing
schedule.

The Clipper EntersN NeevEra
Graceful Ships of Century Ago Give
Name to Airplane.

exact middle of the century, came
news of the discovery of gold in
California. A panic rush ensued in
the Far West. At least, $4,000 men
demanded transportation to the treas
ure field. Some, of course, went over
land, but an equal number made the
journey round the Horn. No less than
160 clipper ships were constructed and
set afioat within four-year period.
A similar rush to Australia followed.
British clippers are credited with hav-
ing transported 100000 Englishmen to
new homes under the Southern Cross.
Fortunes Acquired.
Meanwhile, on the American side of
the Atlantic long list of families
were gaining fortunes by building and
operating the kind of craft the stimu-
lated tempo Of the times required.
The Bells, Halls, Steers, Webbs, Col
liers, McKays and Magouns were
among the builders; the Osgoods,
Marshalls, Trasks, WoodhouSeS, De-
lanos, De Puysters and RuSsells
among the operators.
The fastest clippers, as it happened,
were those of David Mckay of East
Boston. He launched the Flying
Cloud, 1851; the Sovereign of the
Seas, 1852; the Lightning, 1854; the
James Baines, 1854; and the Donald
Mckay, 1855.
It is recorded that the Lightning
on one occasion made q run of 436
miles IN a single day-a speed never
equaled, even by a steamer, until 1898.
But the clipper ships golden age
was of short duration. The Civil War,
the opening Of the Suez Canal and
other events interfered. Freight rates
fell, costs of construction and main
tenance rose, and beginning about
1858, another, larger and slower but
relatively cheaper type Of vessel ap-
peared. The age of steam replaced
the age of sails.
The clippers, however, still are re-
membered as classics. They were noble
ships, long and slender, with sharp
bows, three masts slanting backwards
and capacious rectangular spreads of
canvas. A pace of II or 10 knots
an hour was nothing particularly ex-
traordinary for them, and the spec
tacle Of their passage along the hori-
zon was memorable experience. For
the tea races from China to Great
Britain they we're ideal. In 1866, the
Ariel, the Tapping and the Serica
required only 80 days to complete the
trip from Foochow to London-"per-
haps the grandest ocean race ever
sailed"
All the clipper ships we're dstin-
guished for a gracefulness of line
which was "a sheer delight to the
eye-that peculiarly satisfying beauty
which always belongs to the thing
absolutely fitted for the purpose il
Is designed to I'LL"
Evening star., 1935-11-22

It is all apparently due to reports
Mr.. Roosevelt has received privately
from his many political prophets.
They have been telling him that the
tide which was running against him
up to the time the last election re-
turns were counted, has now begun
to ebb. His agents apparently disre-
garded the new Literary Digest poll
figures. They knew about these fig-
ures a week or 10 days ago.
Note-the President gets to his offlce
generally between 1890 and II am.
However, he starts each day about
two hours earlier. Long daily ses-
sions are still held with his breakfast
cabinet, composed Of Secretaries
Early. LELAND and Mcintyre. They go
over the morning papers, the guest
list, plan the day.
Behind Phillips Trip.
The official inside excuse for the
sudden decision to send Undersecretary
Phillips to London is not only good,
but too good. It is that Mr.. Roosevelt
does not know how much to spend
on the Navy next year. He is holding
the Budget open on that question
while Phillips runs over to the naval
conference to find out how much the
others are going to spend. Then he
will hasten back to tell President
Roosevelt before the Budget goes to
Congress.
The only thing iUrong NTH that
is Phillips does not krow anything
about natal expenditures. His
telloU delegate. Admiral Standley.
does. All that Phillips tDiI find out
in London about naval erpendi-
lures is lD1lat Admiral Standley t0iH
tell him. 1t tUould be much SIM
pier for Standley to cable back the
data in code. That would SdDe
Phillips a transatlantic trip.
The fact is far less excitement
would have been created here about
the last-minute decision to send a
full-fledged diplomat to a technical
naval meeting, if it had not been &C
companied by such a jumbo-super-
colossal explanation.
Just as cue, if you want the real
reason for the Phillips trip, you had
better look in direction exactly op-
posite to that Of London.

The best international authorities
here would not be surprised If the

organized suddenly one of these days.

Hoover Rumor Heard.
The choicest of Republicans have
been upset again lately by private
information that q former Hoover
cabinet of1icer Is approaching delega-
ton pickers down South. Their in
formation Is that he Is trying to ar
range for uninstructed delegations to
the next Republican National Con-
vention. If this particular person
does the arranging, the Republican
authorities suspect that the unin-
structed delegates will carry private
instructions for Hoover.

not the only one nou In the
Southern field An influential
leader, not Without funds, wto
might be described as an old

for uninstructed delegates. The
only difference is that his unin-
structed delegates would be pri-
uately instructed against Mr..
Hooper.

inside developments, many well-in-
formed Republicans are beginning to
believe that q heavy undercover
struggle Is on between the forces Of
Mr.. Hoover and those of Charles D.
