No Dice!

For a gentleman who had run : dress-snap and 8 zipper into q goodly bankroll Brother Morton Minsky did g fine job on the goggle.eyed congressman. Unfor- tunately the Minsky Temples of Living Sculpture operate in the bailiwick of License Commissioner Moss of New York City and the willingness of the congressional committee to go along with the Minskys, Praxiteles, Phidias, and Michael Angelo in catering to the artistic hunger in mankind, got the harried art purveyor precisely nowhere.

This time, or for the time being at least, the cops mean it with the result that the Minsky Boys have decided to call it 8 day in their Battle with the Blue Noses. More in sorrow than anger Brother Morton an- nounced that the name of Minsky will be no longer identified with the clothes-droppers.
 ''We tried to elevate burlesque

 plained Morton. 50 we are now going to stage only high class

Condolences

It is with the most profound regret that this department today is obliged to extend its deenAst sympathy to Herbert K. Fad Mor-t- ton Minsky on their en.orced re- tirement from that field of Art known to all true esthetes as Strip Teasing. It seems only yesterday that one of the brethren, Morton I think, delievered a passionate address on the subject "Art For Arts Sake" to 8 goggle-eyed con- gressional committee. Morton made 8 heart-wringing appeal to the committeeman to safeguard the Minsky heritage to exhibit the Divinity of the Human Form (fe- male species) in accordance with the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence; and in answer to the insistent de- mands of all Art Lovers from the Battery to the Bronx that they be permitted to follow the good, old American tradition of making an honest dollar.

Problem

It occurred to me in view of their numbers and the fact that I never saw one of them in what is euphemistically described as the lunch room, that they constitute a problem. Apparently they never 80 home-if they happen to be cursed with that frightfuI handi- cap to the pursuit of The Larger Life for Women. Oste11sibly they do not eat-and it is well known axiom of medical science that all human beings, women as well as men, must eat sometime, some place, somehow. And they must sleep even if it is only to the ex- tent of a cat-nap between sessions, hearings, and lobbyings.

prOSecuCeS mOnOpOly cases.
 For many years it has been the established practice for Con- gress to segregate the funds of the Division from the rest of the Justice Departments appro- priation, and to vote the money directly to the Division. This was intended to strengthen its hands in fighting off political interference or department sa- botage.
 But this year this traditional safeguard is secretly wiped out in the Departments supply measure. Instead of the Divisions funds be- ing separated, they are incorpo- rated in the Departments general appropriation. This means that beginning July 1, Robert Jackson, the brilliant young lawyer whom the President recently made head of the Antitrust Division, will be stripped of power over the purse strings of his agency.
 Supreme POtentates
 And that means he will cease to be his own boss and that At torney General Homer Cummings and his axe-man, Assistant Attor- ney General Joe Keenan, will be- come the real rulers of the Divi- sion. Keenan is the man who put over the provision in the secrecy of the House Appropriations Com mittee. He told the Congressmen that the measure was desirable to make the Departments funds more flexible.
 Several weeks ago Jackson sig nalized his new regime by filing suit against the giant Alumni mum Corporation. Cummings had talked for four years about taking such action, but had done noth- ing. After July l, if Jackson moves to proceed against some other al- legged antitrust law violators, Cummings and Keenan will again be in position to see that noth- ing happens.
 No Compromise
 Threat of f1libuster against his court bill is not worrying the President. He has already figured out just how he will handle such a maneuver if it develops.
 He explained his strategy to a caller just before he went on his fishing trip. The visitor hinted that unless some concessions were made the opposition might resort to filibuster. Roosevelt smiled pleasantly, replied:
 "No concessions and no com promises. Filibuster doesn't wor- ry me. can take care of that. I'm off on fishing trip now. I'm June, if filibuster is on, I'll go up to Hyde Park for a few weeks. If the filibuster still is on in July I'll go to Maine for couple of weeks fishing.
 You see, the filibusterers will have to stay in Washington, but I won't. And as you know it gets mighty hot here. think you will find there will be no filibuster." In Moth Balls?

Two old men with dim eyes dreaming Where the apple blossoms blow, See the far horizon gleaming With bright scenes of long ago.

Can't Get Along

It was on the cards that the burlesque Purveyors of Undraped Anatomy were asking to have their heads chopped of for a long, long time. The trouble with them was that they started in to be ar- tistic and wound up by becoming commercial. Art which goes mon- ey-minded never makes a friend. The Brothers Minsky have learned the bitter lesson which comes to all artistic geniuses who sacrifice Beauty on the altar of the Golden Calf: Venus de Milo and Gypsy Rose Lee simply cannot get along together.

having had so much, she wanted
