Mighty Master

Members of. the District subcommittee of the Senate
Appropriations Committee said to want to find out
the qualifications of agents of the Bureau of the Budget
who dominate and slash at will the estimates submitted
by the local government.
If Senator Thomas and his associates can find the
answer to that they will have solved problem that
has long puzzled Washington.
The Bureau of the Budget is Federal agency and
seemingly its officials should be engrossed with the ire
mendous problem of the Federal budget Tor should we
use the plural in referring to the abysmal deficits
YET THE BUREAU HAS THE TIME AND TAKES
THE OPPORTUNITY ANNUALLY TO SET ITSELF
UP AS THE DICTATOR OF LOCAL EXPENDI-
TUREs, EXPENDITURES WITH WHICH THE FED
ERAL GOVERNMENT HAS LITTLE CONCERN.
The bureau if it has any connection with the local
estimates should be connected only with the amount
which the Federal Government pays as its share of
maintaining the National Capital.
But the bureau, instead of combining itself to that
legitimate task arrogates to itself the deciding, down
to the last penny of what District agencies shall spend
1t LOps policemen off the force; it limits the pur
chase of fire fighting equipment; it cuts nurses and
doctors from the hospital estimates; it thrOWs out
requests for school teachers and tells school officials
that they don't knOLU the needs OF the city.
Who is there in the bureau who knows down to the
most minute detail what the smallest activity Of the
local government requires?
AND HOW DOES HE GET THAT WAY?
The Senate subcommittee says it will find out
Half million residents of the city hope it will.

That's right, Pat" agreed Bob.
How about my going to see if l

swered Pat. "I'll go out and do

Dan came in then with the
wood. After the fire had been
started and the men had gone,
Claire sent Susie back to the
kitchen. The girl wanted to be
alone to think things over.
She wandered about the library,
and finally sat down before the
old-fashioned bookcase. The books
had been willed to her by Uncle
Lyman, but had never been
! moved from their place in the
House of Long Shadows.
Claire took down a small red
volume near her. Poems. Her
uncle had been fond of poetry.
There was another copy of the
verses of this same obscure poet
in the bookcase in Lyman Fos-
dicks room upstairs. "Jewels of
Verse" Idly she turned the pages,
her mind going back to the hap
penings of the last few hours.
What evil threat hung over this
place, striking three times in such
a short space of time? Could it
be anyone connected with the
household? There was friction
between Eb and his sister at
times, she knew, but not enough
to warrant murderous attempts
on peoples lives.
Did someone else know about
Lyman Fosdick's hidden jewels,
and was that person trying to
brighten them away from the
search? Could Dan Dallas have
fired those mysterious shots the
night before? Why had Pats
questions about Dan aroused
Susie to such fierce denial? Just
what sort of woman was Susie!
Claire had always taken her for
granted, Just as she had reliable,
old Hannah at home. Claire knew
that Susie had been very gay
when she was young, quite
dashing figure in the mad whirl
of the mining camp. That was
why Eb had grown sour and snap
by, holding the rein on her. Han
nah had told her that much, and
even Daddy had smiled when she
asked him once about the woman:
"She's all right, daughter. Used
to be inclined to be little fighty
| guess, but Lyman always said
anyone who could make waffles
like Susie had right to a fling
now and then. She made him very
comfortable, so he winked at her
little failings." /
Surprising Susie had found out
more about Lyman Fosdick's at
fairs tina nanyone knew and was
using her knowledge now to her
own advantage? Claire deter
mined to question her later.
Her thoughts turned to Eb. Was
he lying, stark and bloody, some
where this very minute? Claire
shuddered, even while she re-
minded herself that she never
had liked the man, with his sane
timonious ways and thin, ugly
mouth. When she was little, she
would circle around the place
where he was working, so as not
to have to speak to him. His long
nose and stern, piercing eyes had
reminded her of the ogre IN her
fairytale books. ....
She turned the leaves OF the
book in her lap absently. Then
her uncle's, neat handwriting met
her eve, and she looked at it with
closer attention. She had never
heard that Uncle Lyman wrote

Today's Sport Parade

For the sake of watching 22 young men run and wrestle on Q lnanicured pasture i1e will sit on c frozen stone slab, while Q blizzard blows down his back, Q snowstori11 plies drifts about his shiTls and kneecapS, and alcohol parboils his innards.
 The golf goober is just as rabid. For the privilege of running c solo marathon over hill and dale, when the sun beats down with the inten. sity of . blast furnace, he will actus ally pay real money. ,
 But have found the peer Of the football filbert and the golf goober. He Is the political pistachio. He D the spectator who, of his own VIII and volition, attends every session of Q republican or national convene ton. He is the riginal hand-carved, double-dipped spartan; the one and only supreme giutton for punish. ment.
 To hear the ten-goai orators erupt their lugubrious lava, to watch tho 300 hitting Senators wave their togas, the political piStachio risks life, limb, and sanity, especially sanity, his ribs for Q poking, his head for c cracking, and his ear drums for . splitting.
 If the political pistachio attended only one session of c convention he'd tie with his golf and football rivals. But q week of it makes him absolutely tops. He isn't exposed to the torments of the clements, its true, but was there ever . rain or c sleet storm that could inSiict the misery of one third class soprano singing Into Q loudspeaker designed for the raising of the dead? or . windmill oratoA with leather lungs spouting platitudes towards the high heavens?

 The answer is no.
