BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

candldate III party prlHlarIro.
Morrison's chief claim to fame
comes from his successful handling
of the Hamilton Dam power prof.
ect on the Lower Colorado river
which had been started, but left
uncompleted, by the insult inter-
ests. After failing in attempts to
get RFC and PWA loans for de-
velopment, he got bill through
the Texas legislature to create a
state power authority to take il
over.
Then it was fixed up for the
power authority to get a $l2,"
100000 loan and a $7,5O0,000 grant
from PWA. Morrison is reported
to have made a profit of 100000
on sale of the dam to the power
authority, which bought it with
PWA funds.
POLITICIANS of the major par.
ties are keeping quiet about
the Union Party candidacy Of
Congressman Lemke, backed by
Father Coughlin, and probably
will continue to do so.
Strangely, perhaps, radicals who
believe in a third party of one
kind or another are hurting the
bitterest denunciations at Lemlle
Communists have charged that
Lemke is a stooge for Landen and
the Liberty League. %. -.
- The American Guardian OF
Oklahoma City, leading Socialist
weekly, charges that Lemke has
definitely tied his organization tc
the openly Fascist Third Party
outfit of Newton Jenkins in Hill
nois," that he announced "perfeci
cooperation" with Jenkins afte,
a conference; and that jenkins
has appeared with uniformed
Nazis on the platform at official
Nazi meetings, is openly anti
Semitic, and favors hanging 'la-
Dor agitators" 70 lampposts.

him with hard threatening eyes.
"Must call a policeman" she
asked lifting her eyebrows.
The stranger thought rapidly.
He did not know anybody in that
city. Should the woman call a
policeman, he could imagine the
raucous laughter that would greet
his explanation as to how the
money came into his possession.
He might be arrested and sem
fenced to jail. Such things have
been done just to give the boys
some fees. 1t would cost him at
least $40 to hire a lawyer, be-
sides the court costs of as much
more should he get off without a
fine. And should the women be
connected with the political ring,
anything might happen to him.
".You VIM" said the stranger
handing the woman the bills.
"But the money won't do any
good. Money never does any
good to the person who gets it
dishonesty"
"That's my business" rejoined
the woman as she showed the bills
into her handbag.
Eyes, so | see," shot back the
stranger. "And you should be in
a better business.
The woman made a face at the
stranger, stuck out her tongue at
him and flounced away.
But the stranger had probably
kept himself out of a peck of
trouble by agreeing with his ad.
versary quickly. Yet he is still
beefing about the matter, though
it happened two years ago.

thing"
A woman of 40 can hide every
evidence of age except her desire

WHERE IS ADVENTURE IN MOTORING
TODAY?
(Bv BRUCE CATION

As the millions of American motorists
90 rolling out across the vacation highways
of the land, there must be at least a few
old-timers among them who can remember
the DAYS when an automobile was really
adventurous.
To be sure, motoring now is more tun
than it used to be. 1t is, in fact, taken all
in all, one of the most completely pleasant
diversions that the race has ever devised
for itself. But it isn't the high adventure
that it used to be.
If YOUR memory goes back as many as
25 wears, and has automobiles in it that
far hack, YOU will understand. The motor
list of the old pre-war days was sailing I'M
charted seas-and sailing them, moreover,
in a caravel that was just little bit cranky
and given to distressing leaks.
Do YOU remember the roads of those
DAYS? The paved highway was almost
non-existent. A stretch of passably smooth
gravel was frst-class road, then, to bel
driven over with a grateful mind and al
light heart.
Beyond it there was certain to be plain
dirt, mile after mile of it, which could
turn into the deepest, stickiest, most auto
mobile-engulfing kind of mud, as soon as a
little rain came down.
And whether the road was good, bad,
or Indifferent, there was the problem OF
keeping on it. There were no route num-
bers and there was no handy little road
maps. If you felt flush, you bought blue
book, and, as you anxiously approached
crossroads, the indispensable back-seat
driver would chant something along the
lines Of bear right by red schoolhouse, go
SO miles to crossroads, turn left, and fol-
low gravel 1.8 miles to wooden bridge"
And sooner or later, of course, you lost
your way, anyhow, and had the privilege
of calling busy farmers out of the fields to
ask them the way to Blinkville.
But the roads and the difficulty of keep
ing on them were only part of the hazard.
There was the car itself.
The auto of those early days was still on
probation. 1t was subject to odd and mex
plicable lapses into coma. Todays motor
list can be as ignorant of mechanics as
babe in arms and still undertake New
York-to-San Francisco tour with light
heart; yesterdays had to be an accom-
plished tinker or be prepared to trudge 10
miles along lonely road in search of a
mechanic.
And the tires! No motorist in his senses
expected to take a trip of more than a
DAYS duration without having to make at
least one change. If his luck was out, ne
might have to make half dozen.
Changing a tire, in those days, was more
of a lob than it is now, too-and there
weren't a lot of handy filling stations
either, where won could have someone do
it for you. g.. .-..- e.. .. -s
So motoring, two or more decades ago.
was Adventure with capital A; thing
for the stout-hearted and tough-ibred, not
simply matter Of deciding where you
want to go, pointing your radiator emblem
in the right direction, and letting nature
take its course. .
It's more fun nowadays, by far but
the tang of adventure has gone out OF it.

WASHINGTON. - First report

has to do with thousands of pur-
portedly faxed poll tax receipts
in San Antonio, Tex.
Pressure on the committee,
chairman of which is Senator
Lonergan of Connecticut, to in

strong, since the congressional
district involved is that of Rep
resentative ,Iaury Maverick, one
Of the most popular and valuable
members of the House.
Maverick is having hard fight
for Observation-Disclosures to
reelection in this heavily Demo-
cratic territory-because of the
huge sums of money being spent
to defeat him.
It is understood here that Nav
erick is one of several congress-
men marked for political death
by power interests, as result of
his active participation in the
battle for the public utilities
holding company bill.
His most important antagonist
is Ralph w. Morrison of Texas, a
utility man, the only political ap-
pointee to membership on the
Federal Reserve Board. Morri-
son is reported to have expressed
Willingness to spend as rnuch as
$4,000 to defeat Maverick and

SHAFT TO DISAPPOINTMENT

The vagaries of the human race are beyond pre-
dicton and comprehension. Here is news Item
relating how late citizen of Warrenton Va, has
left fund of $4,000 for the purpose, as ordered
in his will of building monument to those who
have been disappointed and suffered in this life :"
There are mutitudes of these and it was perhaps
the sentimental thought of the donor that they Will
find their hard path easier after trip to the eeme
terry to gaze upon the shaft raised in their honor
So the unique decision was made, to the exclu-
sion of other methods of tightening the burdens OF
the thwarted and the unhappy, such methods as
buying $4,000 worth of soup or clothing or schol-
arships or books or merry-go-round tickets View
ing this monument, there will be another reason
for the victims of this life to be disappointed and
to suffer bit more.-St Louis Post-Dspatch.

PUSHES
 ACT ENFORCEMENT
Senator Wants States to Furnish Safety Devices
 at Railroad Crossings

Washington, D. C.-The bureau of public roads was asked today by Senator Lonergan (democrat, Con- necticut, to make preparations for strict enforcement of this amend- ment to the federal aid highway act requiring states to establish adequate safety protective devices at railroad grade crossings and drawbridges before federal funds are made available.
 Declaring that accidents at grade crossings and drawbridges are con- tinuing to take more lives each month, and that federal and state administrations are being severely criticized for not doing something more promptly effective to curtail them, Senator Lonergan seid that his amendment Is a first step to- ward solution of the problem. He tend authority of the interstate has two other bills pending to ex- commerce commission over railroad crossing protective devices, and to establish safety standards com- mission. He predicted that these measures will be favorably reported at this session by the senate inter- state commerce committee of which he is member.
 Immediate effectiveness of this legislation, Senator Lonergan said, will depend upon interpretations and enforcement by the U. s. bu- reau of public roads, which IS given wide discretion in deciding what proper protective devices are. He declared that the usual interpreta- tions which hold that lights are adequate protection are unsatisfac- tory, and that some barrier type of protection should be required which would stop vehicular traffic where signals are ineffective because of human or mechanical failures. Standards for protective devices would be more fully determined by his bill establishing safety stand ards commission composed of rep resentatives of the bureau of public roads, the interstate commerce com- mission and the war department.
 Meantime Senator Lonergan, to- gether with Senators Moore of New Jersey and Gibson of Vermont, have introduced a resolution which would provide for 8 complete investigation and study by senate committee of the problem of highway grade crossings and drawbridge ap- brooches in the United States.

nominated Edward W. Goss as senatsr for the fifth congressional district.
 Iii health stepped into the pie ture shortly after this and Betty Minor was forced out of active politics. Although still @ repub- lican, her sympathies are, ct pres- ent, with the democratic adminis- ton.
 We must tell you at this point that the NEA found no more de- pendable supporter than Betty Minor. She was chairman of the speakers bureau, and the work done by this group under her di- rection, accomplished a great deal in educating employers and em- ployes in the conduct of the na- tional recovery administration.
 Betty Minor has probably more hobbies and interests than any woman in Waterbury. At the moment her pet outside activity is the Waterbury Public Speaking club. She loves to write. .sev- eral of Ter poems have been pub- lished in magazines, she's written short stories, and to use her own words, T wrote two perfectly love- ly novels which no one wants" She loves music, having been an excellent pianist before trouble with her hands caused her to give up playing for a while. She's composed several bits of music, some of which have been published, and one of them was used on Q coast to coast radio program Q few years ago.
 Other hobbies include palmistry, gardening, good reading and any, thing which will improve her mind. She does not like cards but Mir. Minor is an excellent contract bridge player.
 Her choice of clothes follows the latest dictates of fashion although she does not like too many frills on what she wears. She meets peo- pie and mixes very easily and values friendships above every thing. She enjoys entertaining a small group of intimate friends in her own home and a recent guest at her home told me that she's a splendid hostess. She thinks Tuesday is her lucky day and likes to undertake new things on tho eighth of the month. . She's superstitous about the month of october and is never surprised when unpleasant things occur dur- ing that month.
 Her home is at Lincoln street and she worships at All Souls church with her husband.
 Betty Minor is a very busy woman. she makes herself busy all the time. But she's too busy to help someone else. She's the typical feminine counterpart of the man about town. Everybody knows Betty Minor and everybody likes her. She's interested in this program because she herself has done radio work. She was Q member of the group that used to give programs on the Waterbury Hour ct Station WICC and did e great deal of work on Station WATR presenting her program known as We Women.
