Headline Folk

They Do
Myron c. Taylor, Who
May Be Ambassador,
Man of Action.
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.
THIS department hasn't q foot
rule, but as exchanges pour in
/ from around the country, it
Is safe to say that Myron c.
Taylor has received more column
inches Of publicity in the last 48 hours
than he and his ancestors, their uncles
and their aunts ever got since the
family first started here in 1910.
The man who fuxes steel In what
may be q new social arnalgam Is one
Of the few great industrialists who at
tanned and held his throne without
benefit Of press agents. And now. in
the backwash of the eight-column
lines on the steel-labor rapproche-
ment, comes the news from Washing
ton that it Is quite likely he will be
made Ambassador to the Court Of st.
James, to succeed Ambassador Bing-
ham.
He shook up steel lot when, in
1929, he became the successor Of the
late Judge E. H. Gary, bringing in
such younger men as William A. Irwin,
infusing both new blood and new ideas
into the organization. With a life
background of law. textiles, banking,
finance and nsurance-almost every
thing but steel-he was clear of all
dynastic and traditional restraints.
This writer has seen him only once,
in one Of those newspaper inquisitions
to which important men are some
times subjected by reporters hunting
in packs. Mr.. Taylor answered ques-
tions courteously and succinctly, or
declined TO answer, and said nothing
which was not absolutely pertinent.
There were no rhetorical trimmings,
flourishes or philosophical rationale
cations. And no sheet Of flimsy when
the reporters filed out. Handouts have
been conspicuously missing in Mr..
Taylor's administration Unlike many
great industrialists who have CON-
manded vast amounts of newspaper
space, Mr.. Taylor never has sounded
of at banquets or expounded his polit-
ical or economic philosophy. He never
issues statements.
For years the newspapers had to get
along with a single, overworked old
photograph, and as to his ideas. they
lacked even that much guidance or
semblance. Whatever clear present.
ment of Mr.. Taylor exists today is a
synthesis of swift, incisive and effec-
tive action.
Quietly stepping out Of law. building
q string Of New England textile mills
and running it up to imposing proper
tions; deftly carrying through a
1000, 100000 bank merger; taking
steel at time when it was whispered
that the organization was becoming
moribund and galvanizing it with new
life.
He was born at Lyons, Wayne
County, N. Y, and was graduated from
Cornell in law. At Locust Valley, Long
Island, he lives in the eighteenth CEN
tury home Of his ancestors, built by
one of them, the illustrious Capt. John
Underhill. He is the type of man who
likes old houses and new ideas. There
was a sweeping liquidation of old atti-
tudes and policies, going back to the
days of Divine Right" Baer, when he
started putting more ductility tr:o
American steel.

Court Aims to Die Hard
Radical Advisers Held Sure to Push on for Revised
Form of Government

the court measure in two, omit what
the part affecting the lower courts.
For that or any other compromise
there will be much favor among the
more political-minded Senators. But
tht leaders OF the anti-cOurt measure
Senator's know that the concealed
purpose of the court measure went as
far in the part affecting the lower
courts as in the part relating to the
Supreme Court. The purpose was to
bring about, everywhere in the coun-
try, a unified Interpretation of the
Constitution predetermined at Wash
ington and controlled from Washing
ton. Under the provisions of the
court measure in its original form
attempt was made to set up a mech
anism by which Washington could
reach out its hand and put judge
OF its choosing in charge of any suit
in any circuit or district.
The struggle Of the administration
for the sort Of court it wants will go
on. 1t will go on because Mr.. Roose-
velt's radical advisers want a form
of government and society in America
which can only be possible with
suhservient court. The truth is, Amer
lea is face to face with a historic
crisis. For century and a half
America has taken independence of
the judiciary for granted. We thought
it comes to us without effort or cost,
like the air We breathe. We thought
it was, as Kipling put it:
Ancient, effortless, ordered-cycIe on
cycle set
Life so long untroubled that ye who
inherit forget"
But now We find:
1T was not made with the mountains;
it is not one with the deep,
Men, not gods, devised it. Men, not
gods, must keep"
Happily the men have come for
ward. II would hardly be possible to
oVereStimate the elevation of the
Democratic Senators who opposed the
court measure, or the dramatic quality
of what they are doing.
