OF FEAR
IS ASSAILED
BY 6. 0. P.

An atmosphere of fear in the
business world, generated by the
New Deal" was blamed last night
for failure of industry to embark
on an expansion program to les
sen unemployment.
William Hard, political commen
tator for the Republican national
committee, in making the charge
in a radio broadcast, declared the
Roosevelt administration publicly
admitted as much.
Business Behavior
He said:
"The hesitant behavior Of the
business community is recOg-
nized and admitted by the New
Deals own Department of Com
merce. In a recent publication
1t said:
at is obvious that enter
priSeS are not drawing upon capi-
tai markets for new funds on an
important scale at the present
time. 1t is such operations that
would particularly stimulate en-
plOyment.'
"The Presidents right-hand
practical political adviser, James
A. Farley, calls business prOmis-
cuOuSly, 'unprincipled brigands.'
and 'self-prOfeSSed gangsters.'
ICKES, TUGWELL HIT
''The Presidents right-hand
promoter of governmental com.
petition with private business,
Secretary of the Interior IckeS,
calls business men prOmiScuOus-
ly cold, heartleSS and exploit
ing
"The Presidents right-hand
intellectual guide, Resettlement
Administrator TugwelI, then
proceeds to the next logical
step in his famous declaration
that industry will become Gov
ernment and Government will
become industry, and that 'busi-
ness will be required to disap-
pear
Meanwhile, the President
himself lays the whole business
community under the general
curse of being money chang
ers,' economic royalists' and
princes of privilege in terms
which smear all American buSi-
ness men with the vague and
loose charge of a common
criminality.
SHADOW OF FEAR"
"The necessary consequence
of this policy on the part of
the New Deal has been accu-
rately described by Gen. Hugh
S. johnson. In the course of
his utteranceS last year he used
the following expressions:
"'All operations in the in.
vestment markets, where pri-
vate capital could have greatly
increased the activity in heavy
goods, were frozen by threat
ening attitudes among the
brain-truSters. . How could we
expect business to carry on
when we were giving business
the filters by whirling words
from young Liberals" in al
most every part of the Govern
ment. From that moment
free investment and forward
business planning and vigOr-
Gus commercial audacity-all
the necessary elements of nat
ural recOvery-were under the
shadow of a great fear. 1t is
the effective single cause of
continued depression
General Johnson is now sup
porting Mr.. Roosevelt for re-
election. He nevertheless last
year-in the expressions above
quoted from him-tOld our un-
employed exactly why they can
not get jobs. 1t is because the
New Deal has given the Ameri-
can business community, as
General Johnson says, "a great
fear'."-

Joan points to the opposite wall
in answer to my next query. She
asks,
"YOu see that walI-frOm the

just about that much space.

She loves vagabondiSh hats with

with her and the famous 80-carat
one that Franchot gave her for
her birthday is being made into a
bracelet.
Has Many Jewels
The jewel is round and it is to
be thanked by two oval ones of so
carats each that she has already.
"They are all so dark they're
almost navy blue" she laughs.
"And I'll never get enough Of
them, but where I'll put them I
don't know, for 1 have earrings,
bracelets, clips and rings of

She uses perfume but only on
her hands. She likes going with
out nail polish because she says it
strengthens her nails. She likes
to hear material tear and the last

Adrian was so inspired that he
did a quite delightful sketch of
her which she handed me to see.

This may ruin a dress but it

Loves Modern Art
AS far as other tastes go she is

She adores music and takes sing

SPANISH GOLD
UP FROM SEA

OCEAN CITY, Md, Dec. %.
There's gold in them thar sands
Spanish gold-maybe pirate gold.
And with each heavy blow, after
the storm subSiGes, residents comb
the beaches north of this town for
pieces-ofeight and gold coins
struck in the strange designs of
early days.
There are some that are lucky,
and can exhibit their finds. Riley
N. Quillen recently found four
coins making a total of eight in
his possession. He has a Spanish
dollar dated 1918, two Spanish So
cent pieces, one dated 1776 and
five Spanish quarters.
These old coins are believed to
have been washed from the wreck
of the ship De Brack, which foun-
dered off Lewes, Del, more than
a century ago with a rich cargo.

SOLAR ENGINE
SEEN AS AID

International News Service Science
Writer.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. 20.
Giant solar engines" harneSsing
the suns rays to bring water from
distant lakes to the very land it
parches, can save Midwest Amer
lea from future droughts.
This was predicted today by DR..
Charles G. Abbot, secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution, as he ex-
hibited an improved and simpli-
fled model of his sun engine be-
fore the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
His lifetime studies on the ra-
diation of sunlight have led DR..
Abbot not only to develop a
method of putting the suns rays
to work, but also to discovery of
q "23.year-weather cycle"
Droughts, he said today, are re-
lated to "double cycle" of 46
years, and he predicted the next
big dust bowl" type would strike
in 1875 and last about 10 years.
Pointing to his apparatus.
which produces one-siXth horse
power by reflecting the suns rays
from a two-by-six-foot aluminium
mirror onto a "thermos bottle"
tube in which steam is produced
by the intense heat, DR.. Abbot
said:
"Such machines could be used
to pump water from the Great
Lakes or the Missouri River in
case Of drought, to irrigate the
DakOtas and other States in the
Middle and Northeast"
This was done with less et-
Ncient type of sun machine to
pump irrigation water from the
Nile in 1918, he added.

I want to sing everything that
Grace Moore sings but I can't

I ask her what she likes to read
and the lovely flounces of white
sequined marquisette go swaying
over as she swings her lovely head
down to a pink pillow in a little
girlish play-acting swoon.
"'GOne With the Wind'-it's
marvellous, wonderful, divine!
She declares enthusiastically.
I'D give anything to play it.
Have you read it? You haven't?
Oh, you must"
And she's up in a flash at the
phone. SequinS scatter like star

The little lamps on the tables

ruffles suddenly become sheerest
dewy cobwebs. The pink screen is
a vine of pale sweet roses. The
room is the bower of the fairy
queen.
She waves her wand and taps
me on the forehead and am back

she was Joan Crawford.

SALE OF SEALS
IS EXTENDED

Calling for an intensified pro-
gram to lower the dangerously
high" local death rate from tuber-
culosis, DR.. James G. Townsend,
newly elected president Of the
D. C.. tuberculosis Association, TO-
day extended the official period
of Christmas Seals sale until after
the New Years holiday. He stated:
Gas my first official act in
taking over the work so ably
carried forward by my predeces-
sOr, DIR. White, want to thank
all of the thousands Of Wash
ingtOn people who have thus far
sent us payments for our Christ
mas Seals, amounting now to a
total of $33,39S.
"WhiIe this is still far short
Of the goal of our campaign, we
know that there are thousands
of other friends to whom our
seals were sent who have taken
advantage of our offer to keep
the seals and use them, paying
later when more convenient.
With this thought and the ur'
gent need of increasing the fund
with which to carry on a big
Job ahead, the Christmas Seals
campaign will be officially con-
tinued until after the New
Years holiday"
The program of the association
outlined for 1887 includes the eX-
pansion of present services in
schools, using tests and X-ray to
discover symptoms of the disease,
and an extensive educational cam
paign against the ailment.

1ObA1 I WOOD, NoAAA'y OSN' ~
You know the story of the fairy
princess. She was as good as she
was beautiful, as fine as she was
fair. She lived in my upper story
when was a little girl, but I never
thought that I would meet her-ln
fact, I lost track of her when I
grew up. Yesterday I found her
again-her embodiment, at least.
She sat as lightly as thistle
down on a couch that was all pink
fringe and snowy whiteneSs in a
tiny room that was pink and
white, blue and silver.
Her gown was sheer as cobwebs
and set with a million tiny shin
ing disks. Around her hair was a
piece of the same, tied crisply on
top in a bow. She was beautiful.
Sweetness and light shown from
her eyes. She was good.
Lovely to Look At
Joan Crawford is far lovelier
than even her most ardent fans
imagine. She startles you with
her beauty. but she settles you
with her friendliness. You know
at once that she is kind. You
know Immediately that she is
honest and straightforward.
You note with interest that the
expressive mouth is all hers and
not a camera trick, that the eyes
are tremendous and rich with
every emotion she feels, that her
nose is really perfect. There is
something reaSsuring about the
freckles on her arms.
She adores life, everything about
it, she says.
81 can't bear to take gas at
the dentists because 1 don't
want to miss anything ever for
a minute. / don't like to go to
bed for fear I'll miss something"
Treasury of Clothes
She won't even put leashes
much less jackets on her dachs-
hunds "Pupschen," Baby" and
"Schmeltze," because she doesn't
want them to feel hampered or
restrained any more than she
does.
But clothes aren't a hampering
influence to Miss Crawford. She
boards them.
'"They remind me Of good
times and won't give them up"
she says. 81 wish you could see
my cupbOards. They're simply
filled with dresses three or four
or five years old, with shoes that
I've had for seasons, with old
friendly hats.
II say to myself: TIL wear the
old ones first and then the new
Ones,' but / never do and the
old ones get more venerable and
the new ones get old and keep
piling up, piling up.
"FranChOt'S the same way
with his clothes. He has a pair
of trousers that look as if they're
going to jump, they're so baggy
in the kneeS-but he will drag
them out and wear them"
AdOres Her Husband
That she thinks F'ranchot is
pretty swell anyway is obvious.
He smiles from a two by four blue
leather frame atop the miniature
piano and smiles back at himself
again from her desk directly
across.
One picture of the adored isn't
enough even in the doll-house-like
little dressing room. If he hasn't
six of her in his dressing room I'll
climb the next palm and throw
you a cocoanut.
