On the floor of the Congress, on the grid- dle of congressional committee hearings, in the press, over the air, and from the campaign stump, fat.headed incompetents abused, misrepresented and will. fed him. He was pictured as . wiid-eyed Boishevik, .

And never to my knowl. edge did he strike back. Even the President, on rare occasions, gave expression to proper and Justi. liable irritation at the attacks of his critics. Dr. Tugwell endured them oil and said nothing. It seems to me that of ell the men surrounding Mir. Roosevelt he gave the finest example of stead- fast loyalty and unselfish devo. ton.

Missed

There are all sorts of stories about the reasons for the Tugwen resignation. He h supposed to be at ioggerheads over matters of dc. partmental policy with his chief, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. He Is said to have felt for c long time that his presence In the ad- ministration was c liability to MT. Roosevelt. It Is certain that he wanted to resign several times during the past three years but that he stayed on at the Presi. dents ir,sistence. The conviction in this quarter is that, whatever truth there may be in the pup" lished explanations of his retire. n.ent, the reason back of 1t is the simple one that he was tefnporar. fly fed up with his job and wanted Q change. That he will be missed in washington Is indubltable. The Presidents adversarics who are for the time being qulescent, will miss him because they win have Co find . new target for their slings. The newspaper corres spondents will miss him because he was good "copy" always. The Jim Reeds and the Al Smiths throughout the country will miss him because they will have to dig LID another Red bogey-lnan with whom to srighten the simple. minded. The professional politi. clans In whose side he rankled like c thorn will miss him with relief. Those who enjoyed hD friendship will miss contact with Q man possessed of brains and courage, of kindliness and good- manners, of c real sense of h!iinor and of genuinely high ideals. The American people will miss the service of an executive honestly and constantly devoted to the common good. Some of these days even those who now welcome his departure as the removal Of an evil influence on the President will gratefully acknowledge the value of the contributions he made towards the solution of the nations problems in departments not connected with agriculture.

ton during hearing on tax meas

The principal point raised by
Colonel McMullen's counsel, Will
liam E. Leahy and William j..
Hughes, jr., in his appeal, is that
the evidence on which the Army
officer was convicted was given by
him to a House Military Affairs
Committee under a promise Of
immunity. Such immunity, coun-
sci contended, extends to original
prosecution in the courts, as well
as to prosecutions initiated by the
committee.
Colonel McMullen's testimony
was voluntary, Pine and Wilson
contended in their brief, and he
could not have obtained immunity
from criminal prosecution in the
courts except by absolutely refus-
ing to testify before the commit
tee, baSing his refusal on the Fifth
Amendment, which says that no
person may be required to give
testimony that may incriminate
him.
Such a refusal, Government
counsel claimed, would have saved
Colonel McMullen from the pres
ent prosecution, although the
attorneys do not disclose what
might have happened to the Off
Ger in the way of contempt charges
had he attempted to assert his
rights under the Constitution.

The Virginia divorce granted
Mrs. Wallis Simpson, American
friend of King Edward of Eng
land, from Comdr. Earl Winfield
Spencer, Navy flier. was perfectly
legal and valid, State Senator
Aubrey Weaver OF Virginia de-
clared today.
Senator Weaver, who repre-
Sented Mrs. Simpson in the di-
vorce proceedings at Warrenton
nine years ago, declared that Mrs.
Simpson had complied with all
Virginia laws to obtain the decree.
But at the same time, as an
nounced exclusively in The Wash

GINA divorce is under investiga-
ton and there is a possibility that
attempts may be made to have
it set aside.
Attorney Engaged
If the divorce were to be set
aside, it was pointed out, Mrs.
Simpson would still be the legal
wife of Commander Spencer. who
remarked shortly after the divorce
was granted and is now stationed
on the aircraft carrier Ranger in
California.
Raymond Neudecker, widely
known Washington attorney, has
been engaged to investigate the
Virginia divorce, he admitted, but
declined to state who engaged him,
explaining that he was pledged
not to reveal the identity of his
client. It was definitely learned,
however, that the action had not
been started by Commander Spen-
Ger.
