WelleS' Secret Is Out.

done.
Welles' Secret Is Out.
The State Department said botn ye:
and no to reports that President Roose.
welt was calling pan-American peacs
conference. 1t was flustered.
What happened was this: Assistant
State Secretary Welles has beer
secretly sounding out Latin Ameri-
cans on the idea He pledged al
the Latin diplomats to keep 1t under
their hats. One fellow could not keeI
| his hat on. This one let the story
| out before Mr.. Welles found out
whether all the nations would ap-
prove the project. The result is Mr.
Welles is now holding the sack oi
peace in a more or less ferocious
mood.
If Mr.. Wells lays his hands on
that certain diplomat floIiose name
is knolUnI, the pan-Americdn
peace movement tDiH probably get
under nay tCtth good murder.
The touchy part of the Welles pro-
poSal is that nations of this hemi-
sphere would not only pledge them
selves to arbitration and peace, but
would cut of food and other supplies
from any that went to war.
That is all right for self-sustaining
nations like us. but some Of the out
standing trouble-makers in this
hemisphere are not self-sustaining.
Little ChivaIry In Senate.
The old gentlemen in the Senate
did not even take the trouble to slick
up their hair when the second lady
Senator arrived. The only concession
they have made to ladies in their
exclusive club is that they look around
to see if any are near before they
start telling stories in the cloak room.
Mrs. Caraway has led a rather
loney and uneventful life as Senator
from Arkansas. 1t is improbable that
Mrs. Longs will be any different.
Many Senators inwardly resent
the presence OF ,0om,en, but are too
chiUalrous to say so. Also, they
are too wary to bring up the Ques-
ton iUhether il is q sound public
policy to appoint tpidoDs TO public
Office. They tDonder Dhot tDould
happen, ho1Deper. il the NeD Deal
and the Supreme Court adopted
that practice.
Note-Most Senators agree Mrs.
Caraway has been a more efficient
Senator than some of the male Sena-
tors now sitting However. that con-
cession may not be as complimentary
as it sounds.
She speaks seldom. has introduced
no bills of major Importance, has not
been identified with any particular
phase Of legislation. looks up the votes
OF her husband to determine how she
will vote whenever possible. Her vot-
ing record is considered shrewd.
Evening star., 1936-02-12

The Supreme Court decision on the
freedom Of the press was an exhaustive
survey Of that subject. 1t should be
the No. text for any student Of that
question for long time to come.
The mystery of Justice Brandeis'
unprecedented tardiness at the Su-
preme Court session 10 days ago has
now been cleared up. He rides to
work in taxicabs and could not get
one that day.
Feto people knoD it, but John W.
Dauts ,oas once offered seat on
the Supreme bench and declined.
He decided to make some rnoney
first. THE bench pays $4,000 a
year. Dhle he notD receipes that
much in q single fee for O small
caseJ Ho,Dever, he tpAl neuer oet
another chance. No Senate yould
confirm him in Ufew of his hiohtv
conservative reputation.
Highest Republicans here are skep-
tical of their chances of beating Sem
ator Borah in Ohio. The technical
trouble Is that any one who stands
up to fight Borah in Ohio may injure
his chance Of getting the nomination.
either by failing to win or by arousing
the antagonism Of Borah.
Considerable inside objection has
arisen to the gossiped ticket of Lam
don and Wadsworth. The objecting
Is active in upper New York State,
where Wadsworth has some long
standing misunderstanding with the
rural vote.

President Roosevelt are said to have
been advised sometime ago of Wide
mans desire to leave the Government
service. They are expected to accept
the resignation with regret, as Wide
man has been regarded as one of the
administration legal "aces" in its
battle in defense of New Deal legis-
lation
Wideman had charge Of reorganiza-
ton Of the Tax Division under Cum
mings. The assault on the A. A. A.
and other administration laws involv-
ing processing taxes brought an un-
precedented deluge of injunction suits
and other court actions and Wideman
has borne the brunt of this litigation.
The successor to Wideman as head
of the important tax division was
q matter of speculation among those
who learned of Widemap's intention
TO retire. Several attorneys are said
to be under consideration.

The A. A. A. decision was handed down at the
very moment when the Presidents budget mes
sage was being read to Congress, with the result
that the budget has to be revised sweepingly.
Now the court throws out the late Huey Longs
attempt to destroy freedom of the press, while
across the park the Senate is swearing in Mrs.
Long. One wonders what the legislative and
executive branches may be doing when q decision
is finally reached on T. v. A.
The appointment OF Mrs. Long calls attention
to procedure that Is in fair way to become
established custom. 1t is almost routine to select
the widow of Senator or Representative to I'LL

PEOPLES FORUM
HISTORICAL ERRORS

Editor The Citizen:
Your editorial on Easter in
Saturdays edition OF The Citizen
is not exactly correct. | will let
some OF the inaccuracies pass not
wishing tc engage in a religious
controversy. l think you will not
be offended if l point out two
historical errors.
(D l quote: at EASTER fell
on April 25 the last time in
1s43."
That is incorrect. The last
time was 1886.
(2) l quote: "But EASTER
will not occur SO late in any year

1t will occur again in 1943 and
