VATICAN CITY. Jan.13 (I.N.SO
Again demonstrating his amazing
vitality, Pope Plus upon his own
insistence today today was trans.
ferred from his bed to q wheel,
chair and taken into the salon
Of the Papal apartments.
There, for the first time In
many weeks, the Pontiff received
his nephew, Franco Ratti, and
Cardinals Pacelli and Mariani.
The Pope was moved although
he had spent an extremely pain,
full night. His doctor this morn.
ing pronounced him rather
weaker" But by midday the
Pope was eager to leave his bed.
Cardinal Mariani said he was
pleased by the lucidity Of His
Holiness mind and by his pro.
digous memory"
Two Cardinals read favorite
parts Of the Old TaStament to
him until long after Midnight.
Difficulty in breaS hing has
been causing the Pope much

Shortness Of breath results from

BY EARL GOODWIN

There has been almost . fatal
iStic INTERVENING Of the careers
and public work Of the four men
who are responsible for the tre-
mendous changes in Government
'set-up proposed in the report sent
to Congress by the President; and
it almost appears that the ter.
rifle row which Louis Brownlow
precipitated here when he 50.
lected Ray Pullman for Major and
Superintendent Of Police-twenty
years ago-has led right straight
down the line to the present revo.
lutionary proposals for a brand.
new Government chart of orgart-
cation. ..
All three of the committee mem
bers plus President Roosevelt have
been contracting one another all
during these twenty years. More.
over, when Prof. Charles e. Mer-
riam, one of the committee mem
bers, made his spectacular fight as
Republican candidate for mayor
of Chicago against Democratic
Candidate Carter Harrison, Mer.
RAMS compaign manager, was Q
young and unknown lawyer named
Harold Ickes.
Known Intimately
However, this early acquaintance
of Secretary of Interior Ickes with
Prof. Charles Merriam, now Of
Chicago University School of Po-
litical Science, is by no means re-
sponsible for the presence of the
Chicago political science expert on
the committee.
President Roosevelt has known
all three of the committee mem
berS intimately during most Of his
own public life and is extremely
well acquainted with the work 0:
Luther Gulick, another committee
member. who aided Gov. Alfred
E. Smith in the efficiency -eor.
ganization Of the New York State
| government.
Nor has the fact ever been made
public until now that President
Woodrow Wilson thought so much
of Prof. Merriam that he offered
him the post of Commissioner Of
the District OF Columbia-no:
knowing of the requirement Of
three years local residence for
Commissioners. The job was then
given to Louis Brownlow-who
since that time has been closely
associated with Prof. Merriam In
many administrative projects.
Louis Brownlow, Commissioner
of the District Of Columbia for
nearly six years ending 1920, at.
