WASHINGTON - Careful research reveals
that Senator Joe Guffey's speech reading leaders
of the court plan opposition out of the party
was not inspired by the Roosevelt administration
1t JoeS own idea.
That certain persons fairly we'll up in the
administration were not we'll aware of what Joe
was going to do however, is bolder statement
than one cares to make.
AT one time the senator was going to include
Vice President Jack Garner in his attack and
someone or other got to him and called him OIL
on that The war between Garner and Roose-
velt is something like the Japanese-Chinese pic
nie. or whatever it is. Things happen. But no.
body makes any declarations and ambassadors
stay put
The speech was well-written and was as
serted by Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana, was
written by someone other than the senator from
Pennsylvania.
Without repeating sections of the attack on
Guffey after his speech, which attack referred
to his old associations with economic royaliSts"
and his financial troubles as alien property Gus
todian, one still finds 1t hard to think of this
Joseph Of Pennsylvania without recalling the
Biblical Joseph who had coat of many colors.
Four nights after Guffeys speech about "in-
CRATES" he made labor radio speech defending
the CLIO and attacking anti-union campaigns
He particularly denounced violence against strik-
ers, the arming and deputizing OF company
hired men, and attacks on the National Labor
Relations board.
Well, about three years ago Mr.. Guffey was
going to the White House and there intercede
for his steel-manufacturing friend, Ernie Weir,
whom the first Wagner Labor Board charged
with intmidating employees against joining unions
and violating NRAs Section IA. One of Weir's
steel companies is accused before NLRB
of having a "hatchet-gang" which badly beats
up union organizers.
Subsequently Mr. Guffey has formed political
alliances with Roosevelt and John L. Lewis and
some people might think that this was an honest
conversation. But it may be also in point to
recall that some politicians, given nightgown,
can offer superb limitations of the whrling der
wish.
Republican tipSters had been telling your
respondent that it looked if Rush Holt, that
item of flaming youth, anti-p power company
sentiment and whoe-hog liberalism who came
here only to turn anti-administraton and anti
labor in squabble patronage whose merits
are still obscure, was seeking to get back
the Roosevelt reservation. 1t pointed out
that he had been singularly quiet the debate
over WPA his pet peeve, and that he had voted
to confirm Senator Black to the Supreme Court
and otherwise had indicated his desire to be
good boy"
Careful perusal of Hollis last-day attack on
Guffey in response to Guffey's slurring reference
to Holt, shows that Rush didn't murmur word
against the Roosevelt administration. He didn't
take crack at John Lewis. Which, if not
significant certainly is remarkable.

THE FLYING
FARMER

The dauntlesS courage of farmer
down in Oklahoma has made him the
terror of the countryside His startling
idea marks him as trail-blazer, but his
failure to carry it through has brought
him into disgrace with his wife and
neighbors.
Herman Schapansky has wanted to
fly his milk and eggs to market ever
since a pilot at the Clinton, Okla, air.
port gave him few lessons in flying.
So Herman bought 1925 fuselage and
wings. Unable to afford an airplane
motor, he installed an old Ford engine
and took to the air-with the shock
absorber tied down by an innertube!
The other day he had his fourth crash
His plane plunged into a waterbog and
splintered over COW pasture. Mrs.
Schapansky as usual, hitched the trailer
onto the family car, drove over to the
pasture, and toted Herman and his
wrecked plane home again. He's never
been hurt yet
People around Herman's part of Okla
homa keep the telephone wires humming
when he takes to the air. The cry is re-
layed round the countryside, "Take to
the storm cellars, folks-Herman is fly
in again."
Schapansky's trials aren't always in
the air. The other day in the barn he
found his new $32 COW scratching her
self on wing of his plane. Enraged, he
threw a rock at her. She swooned and
dropped dead. He butchered her, then
sold the meat to the neighbors and re-
trieved S31.
With unbeatable spirit, he's readying
his plane for another flight For the
sake of your wife, children and neigh
bors, happy landing, Hermann

He had a hideous dream one night
that some enemy sent him dead
ly spider under wax seal, SO vivid
he never got over it. On the other
hand there is Diego Rivera, COM
munistic Mexican artist, who eats
flies and sundry bugs-I saw him
with my own eyes indulge such
an appetite at Theodore Dreiser's
one night And he declared a
poisonous spider the most delectable
of all. He would walk a mile to
taste a "red widow"
One of Americas great reporters
and one least heard about by the
general public is Jim Mills, of the
Associated Press. Most of his activ-
tiles have been in Europe where
he has covered every important as
signment in the past rs years. He
is white haired now, gentle, kindly,
and has delivered many scoops but
never brags of such triumphS. Such
reporters do not expect applause
for work we'll done. They are real
journalists of whom the profession
is nightly proud.
Few emotions make one feel so
glowy and floaty as to learn some
one we'll loved and believed estrang-
ed has just been busy. For year
I have been troubled about such a
friend. Several phone calls and
letters were cordially answered but
evasive. The other day came one
of the finest letters from him
ever received. He has been In deep
trouble - financial, domestic ana
physical He would not burden
others and remained aloof. Fine
stuff, but when squalls arise friends
should go to friends. It's our chance
to show our devotion.
Nobody could shake my belief in
the stability of true friendship. l
have had several experiences of be-
ing unjustly bludgeoned. In no
instance did I ever strike back or
seek to defend myself, but on each
occasion I was fairly swamped by
gestures of loyalty Nothing in a
life, unusually dandy, has been SO
warming.

Visitors in Russia report more plentiful

They will run like this in Moscow:

cents a pound. Beef runs about S130 pound,
pork chops just little less, butter 81, eggs 10
for a dollar cheese $3.50 pound, milk 30 cents
a quart.
Clothing costs are just startling. COM

$3.50. Wooen underwear, when obtainable. is
S23 suit. Shoes run from S35 to $50 Woolen
cloth for women's dresses is s25 to S32 yard
Rayon stockings are So pair.
1t would be all right if wages were high in
proportion. But the correspondent says an aver
age Russian must work for three days to earn
the money for pound of coffee, than four
months for good suit of clothes, two months
for common suit three to four weeks for a

SO it's hard lines for the common man and

everybody in the family working, and by buying
the cheapest things. Only the highly skilled

Tumbling prices in face OF the

parently has reopened a straight
road for the crop control of cotton
Three reasons are usually given
for the present plight of the cot
ton farmer.
First there is the world race for
self-sufficiency which has led al
most every nation on the globe to
planting cotton, either in its home
land or in territorial possessions
Italy has Ethiopia and Libya and
Japan has Manchukuo, to name
only two.
Second is the entrance of other
countries. notably in South Ameri-
ca, into the world cotton market.
Price pegging in the United States
On one hand, and cheaper produc-
tion basis in foreign countries on
the other hand, have placed U. 5.
cotton under all almost fatal handi-
cap.
Third is the U. S. tariff barrier
which has been raised against i'm
portation of goods from other coun-
tries through which they once Off
set balance in trade with tremen-
dous purchases of cotton.
There is still another factor
sometimes pointed-that much OF
the Old South has SO depleted its
soil with constant cotton crops that
the product is not the excellent
long staple of half a century ago
Newer cotton lands farther west,
however. do produce cotton that
compares with any grown In the
world.
