 Labor Delegate
 The president had c hard time finding the right labor represefl- tative to send as on American delegate to tho Buenos Aires peace conference.
 He didn't want to offend the John L. Lewis wing of organized labor, nor did he want to irk tho Bill Green group. So finally he picked Dan Tobin, president of the Teamsters Union.
 Tobin, though Stlll sticking with the 4. r. of |. reactionar- les, gets along fairly well with
 both sides. In addition, he headed the labor movement for Roosevelt in 1899 and has been active again this year.
 Born in Ireland, Tobin came to this country when he was fifteen, studied ct night school, worked his way up as 6 teamSter, has remained head of the teamSterS for twenty years.
 AmbassadOriaI Politics
 Ambassador Hugh 6. Gibson, who just arrived from Rio dc Janeiro, is in 6 tough spot. A great friend of Herbert Hoover, always. c guest at the White House during the Hoover admin istration, Hugh clung to on aril- bassadorial post only by tho skin of his teeth and through his friendship with Assistant eecre- tary of State Welleg.
 Welles pleaded for him when Roosevelt was about to fire him. So Gibson was transferred from Europe to South America--which he bitterly resented.
 But Gibson is c persistent gen. tleman. He has TOW come back to the United States to try to get transferred back to the bright lights of Europe, but---he wants to keep his Brazilian, post, just in case this rinaneuver doesn't sue. cecd.
 To the Party's Asd
 Actually Gibson had 6 hard lime getting back to Washington. "Now is the time when oil great men come to the aid of the party" and Gibson, even though he favored tho opposite party, wanted to como too. He even wanted to come ct government ex- penSe.
 Tho state department ct first said No. But when Gibson per- sisted, they finally ordered him Up by airplane (which they knew Gibson nated), and stipulated that he return November [, when the American delegation sails to the Buenos Aires peace confer- ence.
 The taxpayer has to foot Gib. sons biIl--both ways.
 NoTE-Whether tho ambassa. dor gets q new job is highly doubtful. His prestige with Roosc- veit--never too high-gank to a new low after dibgon wrote him personal letters about tho leaky roof of the American embassy In Rio. Tho letters arrived in 1oS3 while Roosevelt was engrossed with launching the NRA, PWA and the restoration of general prosperity.
 Saturday Evening Post
 Up in the mountains of Pennsylvania, in the district where Congressman Charles Dris- call exposed the fake telegrans sent by the lobby against tho holding company bill, the Curtis Publishing company runs c paper mill which supplies paper for It's ardently anti-New Deal Saturday Evening Post and other Curtis publications. Certain waste from this plant is dumped into the Clarion river at Johnsonburg.
