longed for wider horizons.
One day the youth packed his
sea stories, a pair Of dungareeS
and his ukulele in a duffle bag
and went to sea. He rode
ketches between Melbourne and
Australia. It was hard, dirty
work, but he found time to sit
on the forward hatch and bring
up the Southern Cross with his
ukulele improviSations.
A hurricane in the middle Of
the night set the ketch on her
beam ends. The lad jerked
loose his pajama string and tied
the ukulele around his neck
with it. Naked, he dived over
board and fought the boiling
sea for hours. Time and again
he was sinking, but the uke
provided buoyancy to help him
keep afloat.
At daybreak, Harry Bridges,
dressed only in a pajama string
and uke, was thrust ashore by a
last Sullen push of the storm.
It seemed quaint that a wet,
naked little man with a ukulele,
even in this elemental Wagnerian
setting, should get q nod from
Destiny. But he did. He
clothed himself, first with fresh
dungareeS, and then with power.

rose to power and leadership
in the labor world. He had

verbal pyrotechnicS may rise the
question at stake is finally de-
cided upon by this quiet unob-
trusive man who sits whispering
to the one behind him.
He is Charles L. Watkins, now
the Senate's parliamentarian in
full title.
Up until shortly before the
court debate began he was also
the journal clerk. That is, it
was his job to keep a short rec
ord of the business transacted
in the Senate along with telling
the leaders upon just what prec-
edent or rule they should make
their decisions.
It should be understood, how.
ever, that Charlie Watkins is
not the product Of emergency.
He was not rushed into this posi-
ton for the Supreme Court de-
bate.
He is a seasoned veteran and
won his title long after he had
won his spurs and full knowledge
of what he is doing.
Mr.. Watkins came to the Sen
ate il 1904 as secretary to the
late Senator Clarke of Arkansas.
He has been parliamentarian
and journal clerk since 1928.
His record for service is longer
than any Senator in the body
except Senator Borah.
And so, although his voice Is
never heard except by those who
sit close to the Presidents chair,
his words are carried across the
nation from the lips Of many.

There's no doubt in the world
that any one Of the big shipping
companies would be delighted to
provide just that kind Of a free
ride for Harry Bridges, on condi-
ton that he never come back.
The cagey little deadpan Aus
tralian, organizer Of the 1882
maritime strike, which, with its
general strike trimmings, tied
San Francisco in knots for a
year, lands in New York, as a
C. I. o. ally, to swing East Coast
unions into his hell-for-leather
outfit.
For the last few years, search
ing the naturalization files in
washington for grounds on
which to deport Bridges has be-
come one of our basic industries.
Here was one issue on which in
dustry and conservative labor
could get together without
arbitration-deporting H AIRY
Bridges. About all they can
find is that he filed his first
citizenship papers in New
orleans in 1921, giving May z,
1920, as the date of his entry
into the United States as a de-
serting seaman.
He failed to file his second
papers within the time set by
law, but there is on record q new
application for citizenship, dated
August 8, 1928. He is supposed
to have been a deep-Sea sailor
in the intervening years. SIM
ilarly thorough and intense has
been the back-trailing Of Bridges
career in Australia and this
country, in the search for some
moral turpitude which would
make it possible to toss him back
again to Australia. This search,
too, has been fruitleSS, and the

Our "TOWn Council

FAILURE of the House to adopt the resolution
which would have authorized the District to Dor
row money at interest, from the Federal Treasury in
anticipation of collections is entirely in line with
the muddled attitude which that body has taken toward
the National Capital throughout the development OF
what promises to become acute financial crisis.
THE ENTIRE SITUATION, INCLUDING THE
DEADLoCKED TAX BILL AND THE CREATION
OF THE DEFICIT WHICH MAKES THE TAX BILL
NECESSARY, IS AMPLE PROOF THAT CONGRESS
CANNOT BE LOOKED TO TO FUNCTION EFFEC-
lively AS A "ToWN COUNCIL" FOR THE MA
TIoNAL CAPITAL.
The debate on the borrowing resolution almost
duplicate of previous debates in the House during
the current session when District matters have been
under consideration.
It is only by courtesy that these discussions could
be called "debaes' since they consist principally of
misstatements, displays of ignorance and plain and
fancy nvective against voteless residents of the
munity
It is impossible to understand why the House per-
siss in taking this attitude toward the District of
Columbia.
1t is not the fault of this city that Congress is
PEELED to look after its affairs.
We are willing to do it ourselves and confident
that would pay attention to them than Congress-
But long the obligation rests with Congress and
as long Congress does nothing to get out from under
the obligation then it is the duty of Congress to legs

Capital.

gress has forced the city into position where aban

year.
