 Washington, Jan. 11--Faex Tug well tossed . last grenade among Q group of his old enemies shortly be- fore the midnight bells rang in the New Year and rang him out as Resettlement administrator. Tugwell resigned recently to be- come executive vice president of the American MOlasses Company. Soon thereafter his digestion be- gan to be disturbed by published reports that his chief function would be that of Q Washington lob- byist.
 Hig name was bracketed with those of other men who had Left the AAA tO use their knowledge and influence in the capital in the
 service of private business.
 Tugwell disiilsed some of these fellows intensely, having battled with them inside AAA st periods when he felt he was representing the farmer and the consumer and
 they were representing "preda- tory" corporations.
 Finally, with one stroke, Tugwell underlined the fact that he was not going to be a lobbyist and at the same time moved to make life mis- erable for the large number of ofii- cialg who have left the Department of Agriculture to take jobs in the food industries.

Land0n's a Gay Loser

One of the stories Governor Ali M. Landon of Kansas told on his recent visit in Washington was typical of the gay attitude with | which the defeated presidential can- didate charmed those who saw him. tHis quips at himself and the pro- portions of his defeat were contin- uous.)
 Landon said he rather felt like q Kansas farmer who was visited by cyclone. Tho cyclone took away his house, barn, haystacks, henhouse, and everything else above ground except himself and hls wife.
 The farmer broke into gales of laughter and his wife berated him, demanding to know what was 50 funny.
 Well" giggled the farmer. "you see, it's just 50 darned complete!"
 
 Farley May Be Leaving
 Gossip as to cabinet changes be- gins to take on little more gub- stance. All cabinet members will fgubmit their resignations by inaugu- ration day and the president plans to accept none except possibly that of Postmaster General Jim Farley, who may be ready by that time to carry out his announced intention of quitting.
 Thereafter, the probabilities are that the next resignation will be that of Secretary of Commerce Daniel Roper, 4 large posse with in the administration will be gum ming for Uncle Dan and Is sure to get his scalp sooner or later.
 Likely to succeed Roper would be John Fl. Fahey, chairman of HOLC. Fahey Is as able an ad- ninistratOr as has appeared In the entire New Deal. Roosevelt wants him in the cabinet and you may be sure. Fahey will be there sooner or later, assuming he's open to offers.
 There's also 6 healthy little move. inent to persuade Secretary of La. bOr Frances Perkins that the secre. taryship of tn International Labor once at Geneva, said to pay S25, ,00t To year, iS just about the coziest It. tie job in the world.

According to Style
- BY the Fashion Scout
-o,rEp ny ANNE HARDY pAvIS.

There was time, until a year
ago. that Milady must needs trip to
the larger cities in quest of her
wardrobe for each new season, but
that is not a necessity these days.
WhyP Because I've just returned
from Los Angeles, via San Diego,
where the very styles, yes, the self
same fabrics that We have seen in
e. Centro show windows for the
past several weeks, are being play
ed in the shops and stores of the
coast cities. Perhaps this was CO.
incidence, but anyway it impressed
me that FL Centro shops and stores
are just as fashion-alert, just as
style conscious. as those in the me-
tropolitan marts. Also. close in
spection presented the all-revealing
fact that our home town stylists
paid more attention to fashion de-
failing, to fitness of finish, fit per-
fection, than you might imagine.
That doubtless is because smaller
stocks, to be selection-complete, are
bought with greater
care.
Coronation Influence
When the former King Edward
VII stepped off the throne and
George VII stepped on, fashionists
followed the front
page headlines with styles inspired
by the coronation. While this
theme has been making history for
several months, it is still. big fash
ion news. Up to now, however,
models of English inspiration have
been extreme to a degree, and their
prices usually prohibitive. The
