New Deal was made to order for him. In fact, he
has seen no reason why he wasn't the logical man
to be the House leader and has made two or three
forays for the job. Under the circumstances the
amazing thing to us is that he isn't assistant Presi-
dent.
NOU He's Mncaul0y
But all Of a sudden the revolution turns around
and he falls into the category of Lord Macaulay
overnight. He became one of the ringleaders of
the Southern opposition to the wages and hours
bill which Mr.. Roosevelt and his journalistic
troubadours all now insist must be squelched be-
fore the New Deals onward march may again be
taken up.
We went up to see this Lord Macaulay just
before Congress quit, in an effort to ascertain
how such Friend of the Common People as he
could be caught in such fix. There is probably
not one Economic RoyaliSt in his district. The

the bitter struggle between conservatives and
progressives to the Presidents side of the fence.
Now they are struck with dismay as the trouble
brewing in the Republican camp threatens to
make the congressional squabble seem like tea
party in comparison.
Enjoys Visit Expected
The irony of the domestic political battle was
in striking contrast to the grave attitude regard
ing Bingham's sudden trip back from England,
and the seriousness Of the China7Japan situation.
Aides of the White House declined to either con-
firm or deny reports that the ambassador would
visit Hyde Park before going on to Washington.
The purpose of his mission was kept secret.
Amusement was manifest, however, in the fact
that the latest Republican split appears far more
complicated, therefore difficult to bridge, than
the rift in Democratic ranks.
Three factions are involved in the approach

Foes of AbattOir
Plan Tax March

Fred B. Monar, speaking for
Northeast Washington opponents
Of the Gobel slaughter house, init
mated a taxpayers march on the
District Building to demand lower
assessments would be in order
unless real-estate levies were low
cred in the sections adjacent to
the proposed Benning abattoir.
He said obnoxious odors from
the abattoir would drive many
residents away from that section.
Monar added that Northeast prop
erty owners were aroused over the
possibility that Secretary IckeS
would prevent further park i'm
provements in the Benning area
because of the slaughter house.

great bulk Of his constituents are farmers and
those very factory workers whom the wages and
hours bill is claimed to help.
Yet he is leading the opposition against it.. All
OF these years his stuff has been music in the
ears to those farmers and factory workers, and
from what we learned from him they are one and
daughters and wives Of the farmers, mostly the
daughters and the wives.
How in the dickens, then, can he continue to
be friend Of these Common People when he op-
poses bill which it Is said will raise their wages?
OF all those who have made the great power issue
a vehicle to political success, he has been the
loudeSt and perhaps the most unreasonable The
one thing it seems the millions spent on IVA
have accomplished is to give his home town,
Tupelo, Miss, power plant and the farmers Of
the countryside electricity. It would have been
Charles up in mansions in New York, but this is
beside the point
HOGO He Explains 1t
Well, he says he is against the wages and hours
bill to raise the workers in his district from Sc or
81 week to $12 because it will not do that hut
will throw them out of work instead. On this,
there is to believe he is right 1t is the pur
pose Of the real pressure behind the bill, anyway.
But the question is whether the type of people
who have followed Rankin in the past will be able
to understand his reasoning now. Sooner or later,
they are going to look upon him, not as a man
who saved their jobs, but as one who denied
them raise. That's the trouble about starting
these fires You can't put them out.

Be Larger

New York, Aug. 80 (AP)-With the
weather man promising to lend hand
Joe Louis and Tommy Farr, will at
tempt to go through with their post
poned worlds heavyweight title match
at the Yankee stadium tonight.
The 23-year-old champion and the
youthful Welshman who holds the
British Empire title, originally were
scheduled to settle their argument last
Thursday night, but Promoter Mike
Jacobs ordered four-day postpone
ment because of rainy weather and
also because he hoped the delay might
boost a none-too-promising ticket sale.
Both purposes appear to have been
accomplished. The forecast is for
cloudy weather but no rain tonight
while the fair weather of the past two
days has helped business at the box
office. With the influx today of the
race crowd from Saratoga, a further
soaring of ticket sales is predicted.

POST OFFICE WALL
IS BEING CLEANED
Steaming Machine Whitens
Old Building To Con-
=" form With New

AS one of the final portions of the
job of completing the new Henderson
post office, the walls of the old Sec
ton of the building were today being
cleaned by steam process Stains
due to weather, dust and other causes
that have discolored the structure
through the years of more than a
quarter of a century since it was
erected have given the stone walls a
dirty appearance. The steam is bring
ing this off and making the whole
building appear new, in keeping with
the new additions.
A boiler on the ground makes the
steam, which is released to the upper
stories and all sections of the wall
through a large hose. A nozzle is plac-
ed against the wall and the steam
turned against the stone.
1t had been hoped that the post
office building could be completed in
time for the office to be transferred
from temporary quarters on Mont
gomery street by Labor Day. That is
next Monday, and there was appar-
emily no possibility, today, that that
could be moving day. Certain in
terror fixtures have not as yet been
received, and will have to be placed
after arrival here. Indications now
are that several weeks more will be
required to complete the job for the
new and enlarged building to ke re-
stored to service of the post office.
