 In that respect, the break would seem to be complete. Among the congratulatory messages to the nominee no one will look for one from A. E Smith; nor will that name be included in any list of campaigners for tn e Democratic ticket.
 Smith has made known his dis pleasure in words which can be understood without consulting the dictionary Even if he now becomes entirely silent, the memory of his declaration will remain factor in the campaign.

LIONEL BARRYMORE "Very difficult"
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. G. Clark Gable is easy to handle, Lionel Barrymore is difficult, and Norma Shearer is sweet and stoical about pain" !"
 That is how Peggy Coleman, who sees the stars when they are suf- legjng, sizes up stellar response to the first -aid treatment she admin isters in her capacity as studio nurse.
 For Il years Peggy Coleman has ministered to the common colds, minor ailments, injuries and some times serious accident cases that befall the workers on her lot. If an actor has a headache on the set, they send for Peggy. If an actress fears her cold will show in her eyes, Peggy hastens over to give treatment.

BY similar procedure, France could
keep her gold, and her officials might
also preserve their heads.
Such a step would turn the situa-
ton right around. Instead OF un-
settling world currencieS, as devalua-
tion would do, a simple embargo
would promote an international cur
rency stabilization movement. 1t
would probably lead to the calling OF
an international monetary conference
within a few months.
Thus, there is a lite possibility
that the lost battle OF the franc,
IT properly handled, may lead to an
international stabilizdtion OF cur
rencies. This mould do more to
promote porld business and main
tain world peace than anything
that has been done since the World
War.
Note-World worry over French de-
valuation has magnifled the probable
effects Of it. The reaction in the
United States would probably be
largely psychological, as our trade with
France is nothing for any one to
worry about.
France Has Fidgets.

heard him say exactly that. although
it was not generally reported.
Paris also heard it that way.
Immediately all lines of the trans
Atlantic phone serptce became
busy. Anxious French officials er-
hausted a considerable portion OF

FARM LIGHT BILL
GOES TO SENATE
House Passes $410,000, 900
EIectrification Program
Over Opposition.
BY the Associated Press.


Only final Senate approval remained
today to complete congressional action
on the $410,000.000 Norris Rayburn
bill establishing q 10-year program of
Government loans in rural electrtfica-
ton projects.
Rejecting scattered Republican pro-
tests, the House passed the bill by a
voice vote yesterday and sent 1t to the
Senate for action on amendments
The electrification program origin
ally was for $1,000, 100000, but was
pared before passage in the Senate at
President Roosevelt's request.
The measure would set up a rural
electrification administration-in place
of the present temporary agency
created by executive order-empowered
to lend to States, municipalities, farm
co-operatives and others, including
private power companies, for building
Of farm power lines and for wiring
and other incidental installations.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1887. $50.000.0o0 would be authorized
from the Reconstruction Corp. and
SAC, 0,000, 900 for each Of the next nine
years from regular Treasury funds. 1t
would be required that the projects be
self -liquidating within IS years at not
less than 3 per cent interest.
Attacked by Wadsworth.
The chief attack came from Rep
resentatives Wadsworth, Republican,
Of New York, and Merritt, Republican,
Of Connecticut, both members Of the
Interstate Commerce Committee, which
handled the bill, although Represent
ative Rankin, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi, led fight to prohibit loans to
private power companies. His amend
ment was defeated 40 to so.
Wadsworth offered. unsuccessfully
an amendment to limit the lending
to s5 per cent Of the value of the
projects. Saying the bill would re-
quire no other security than the
property financed by the loans, he
contended other lending agencies
would not think of making such 100
per cent loans.

This explains the peculiar French
situation on devaluation as well as
anything could. No French govern
ment has dared to devalue so far
because of political fear Of the peas

nothing by devaluation except the
bookkeeping profit on the gold she
already has.
At the same time, French econo-

No authority here can see how some
