LODGE BEGINS
SENATE JOB

A clean-cut, earnest young man
Of "a sat in the topsy-turvy office
of new arrival on Capitol Hill
today, busily engaged in starting
on a path carved out for him by
his illustrious grandfather.
He is Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, jr., Republican, of MaSsa-
chusettS. Smiling and chatting
pleasantly with Vice President
Garner, the young man showed a
desire to learn as much as he
can about this business of being
a Senator before committing him
self to any definite line OF policy.
He did say, however:
II have been very busy max
ing many arrangements of a
practical nature, in order to
. have an office to serve the peO-
pie of Massachusetts, in an eff.
cient manner. deeply appreci-
ate the responsibility the peO-
pie of Massachusetts, have
placed upon me and hope to be
worthy of this responsibility"
Young Lodge is precluded from
serving on the Foreign Affairs
Committee, where his grandfather
made such a name for himself, be-
cause the membership is full, al
though he expressed a desire, dur
ing his campaign, to get such an
appointment.
Asked as to what other commit
tees he would like to be appointed,
he replied noncommitally that
there were a number of major
committees of interest to Mass
achuSettS and he would like to get
on any of them.
Although he declined firmly but
courteouSly to discuss any future
plans, it is understood that he will
not be heard much at this session
of Congress, as he is confirmed in
the opinion that great number
of political speeches do not mean
| anything, anyway.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS
WAIT ON BUREAU SHIFTS

= concerned in efficiency as Mum.
Der One objective than he is in
looping off bureaus or jobs here
and there, which seems to be the
objective of the Senatorial COM
mittee headed by Senator Byrd Of
Virginia. The Presidents view is
that economy will come along af-
ter efficiency is established.
Many of the questions which
Government officials are asking
about jobs, appointments, cuts,
ETC., may be answered in the
budget message and figures which
will be sent to Congress Friday Of
this week. One of the local ques-
tionS being asked concerns the
appointment of a Peoples Counsel
for the District Government.
Who Will Get Job?
New Dealers are making bets on
who will be the head Of new de-
partment Of government preSum-
ably to be known as the Depart
ment of welfare. The predictions
that such a department will be
asked for by the President come
from all over the Government
everywhere, to be sure, except the
White House itself.
The betting is between Harry
Hopkins and Miss Perkins, Secre-
tary of Labor, and the New Dealers
act as if it is foregone conclu-
sion that one of them will be the
first Secretary of Welfare, a de-
partment which the dopesters fig
ure will take in relief, childrens s
bureau work, public health, and
even Public Works. If the latter
is taken away from PWA Admins
traitor IckeS, it will be across the
(figuratively) dead bodies Of Mr..
Ickes and a great aggregation of
his stalwart aides.
Secretary of Interior Ickes seems
destined to remain in the Cabinet.
But PWA Administrator Ickes
may find himself on the outside
looking in. Mr.. Ickes has the warm
support of scores of friends in
and out of the Gevernment-they
all claim that his administration
of PWA has been one of the out
standing features of the New Deal.
Mr.. IckeS would like to see a
new department of Government
known as Department of Public
Works. 1t may happen

BY EARL GOODWIN

More than a dozen important
presidential appointments are
hanging fire. Nobody can find
out what's delaying them, and the
rumor spreads that some of these
appointments may never be made.
In other words, that the jobs
may be abolished or merged in
the forthcoming administrative
changes which Congress will be
asked to make following the sub
mission of the Rrownlow report
on administrative management.
Big jobs vacant now include
that of the Comptroller General,
two posts on the Maritime Com
mission; two on the Interstate
Commerce Commission: one on
the R. F. c.; one on the Federal
Alcohol Administration; one OF
the Federal Reserve Board; one on
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and assistant secretaries
or underSecretaries for the De
partments of Labor, Commerce,
State, War and Treasury.
BrownIOw Watched
Chairman Brownlow of the
Presidents Committee on Admin
istrative Management is expected
to make a final report to the
President next week; although
there is nothing definite about it.
The only authentic news from
that committee comes from the
President himself who is evidently
aiming at a new chart for govern
ment functioning in which all
present commissions and lnde-
pendent offices will lose their
independence and report to the
President through some Cabinet
officer.
At present there are nearly 1S0
different agencies reporting to the
President, while the Comptroller
General reports to Congress alone.
Among the suspicious that many
Government officials now harbor
is that the President may want to
put the Comptroller General in
the Bureau of Budget-but there
is nothing on which to confirm
this rumor.

WOMEN URGE
NEUTRALITY

Ironclad neutrality legislation
was the chief concern of part OF
the feminine bloc in Congress to-
day as the Seventy-fifth Congress
got under way.
Representative Caroline O'Day
CD, of New York, who just re
turned from the Pan-American
Peace Conference at BuenoS Aires,
stated it is the duty of Congress to
make neutrality legislation one 81
its first items of business.
Cites Danger
With war clouds lowering over
Europe, she said, it is absolutely
necessary for the United States TO
make her position known to the
European powers" She said:
eve don't want war, now or
at any other time, and with the
armamentS race in Europe, we
must do something to keep US as
far from the danger of war as
possible"
The loophole in the present neu-
trality law, which permitted an
arms concern to ship airplanes
to the loyalists in Spain because
the battle there is civil war,
rather than a war between two
nations, as provided in the law,
Mrs. O'Day described as a "trag-
edy when we must not permit to
be repeated"
Rep. Rogers Joins
Representative Edith Nourse
Rogers (RO, of Massachusetts,.
member of the Foreign Relations
Committee of the House, declared
that immediate action on neu-
trality is mandatory"
The only new member of the
fem nine bloc, Representative
Nanny Wood Honeyman CD, of
Oregon, also stated her belief that
neutrality should be a primary con-
cern of the new Congress.

 There is something wrong with the educational system," Mrs. Roosevelt said, 'wheH there are as many youngsters as we have today who face the end of their schooling al;d the entrance to their earning years with the sense that they are unprepared.
 "I believe we need to make 1t the duty of every citizen to study the educational and unemploy- ment problems, which are tied closely together in our commu- nities."
 Speaking on "the relationship of the individual to the commu- nity," Mrs. Roosevelt urged ac- tive participation in politics by all citizens.

U. P. DISPATCH OF
 FEB. ERRONEOUS

Washington, April 27.-(UP)-A United Press dispatch of February 18, 1887, on the hearing of the LaFollette labor committee at Washington erroneously reported that Senator La Toilette had de- clared the Investigating committee had identified two of the Pinker- ton operatives who worked in the Toledo Chevrolet plant as "Saun- ders" and "Rowland". The men referred to were Harry Sanders and James Roland, of Toledo, Ohio
 Their names were mentioned in the report dated August 13, 1896, to which Senator La Toilette referred, as members of the executive com- mittee of Local No. IA of United Automobile Workers of America, but that report does not show either Sanders or Roland to have been Pinkerton operatives. Subsequent, reliable information discloses that neither Sanders nor Roland has been employed by the Pinkerton
 detective agency at any time and
 both men are known to be trusted
 and loyal members of the. United

HOPE FOR MISSING
 GIRL VANISHES

Upton, Mass, April 27-(UP)- Hope for the safety of missing two year old Winona Nelson faded to- day as a posse of more than 200 CCC workers, Boy Scouts and vol- unteers directed by local and state police resumed search of the dense woods.
 A $200 reward was posted by the selectmen.
 The child disappeared Sunday whilep laying with neighbors' chil- dren in the back yard of her iso- lated home.
 Winona's parents, MT. and Mrs. George Nelson, refused to abandon hope. Though able to talk, it was explained that the child might not be able to identify herself or tell where she lived if picked up by a motorist.
 Two bloodhounds loaned by the Rhode Island state police were pressed into the search last night. One of the dogs appeared for time to have picked up the trail of the missing child, but later lost 1t.
