Mrs. Bryant went back into the
house. Joan leaned back against the
pillar. A little wind came rustling
through the scanty leaves on maple
tree, and lifted the pointed ends of her
curls, and felt cool and soothing and
sweet on her hot cheeks. The stars

together. There was a lovely, restful
feeling about it. and the cool air took
the scorched feeling from her cheeks.
They sat in booth in the phar-
macy, instead of on stools at the coun-
ter, and Ricky ordered Buffalo Royals.
Franie Schultz, the little pink k-faced
German girl who waited on their
booth, said they we're out of marsh
mallow and it would take five minutes
to mix more. When FRAME went back
to the counter, Joan saw. suddenly,
over the top of the booth, crest of
blond hair looming above the coun-
ter. And she heard Clifford Grants
voice, talking to FRAME Schultz.
"Where've you been keeping your
self, kid?' he was saying. 1--WE never
seen you before"
Joan held her breath.
1--WE lost lot of time" he said.
The line of his jaw was visible now,
and his straight, handsome nose. and
the corners of his smiling mouth.
you're a cute kid No fooling. I'm
going to call you up soon."
Franie was saying something. lost in
giggles and the whip of marshmallow.
But it didn't make any difference.
because what did was the funny. old
impression Joan had of Cliff Grant,
mixed up with a Greek discus thrower.
And that his hair wasn't yellow and
tumbled, but somehow, in the light of

''Some time soon," he was saying,
". sure, I have lots of them. Most

looked up at clock above the coun-
ter, Il had one tonight. l forgot all
about it. Is there a phone here?"
Joan saw him walk around the
counter, to wall telephone. But she
didn't watch him any more, or listen.
Because the Buffalo Royals were
coming on tray, and something had
just occurred to her - that Ricky
didn't look like Gary Cooper or any
body else-but like he always had.
And that this was her first real date.

The average senator and repre-

connection with Gov. Herbert H.
Lehman's attack on President
Roosevelt's Supreme court enlarge
ment bill was the fact that the Pres
ident has turned, one by one,
against so many of his former close
advisers and lieutenants.
The recent fight for leadership of
the senate Democrats, to fill the
place made vacant by the death of
Senator Joseph T. Robinson, DEM
onstrated this in a striking way.
For all the four years of his first
administration, Roosevelt's closest
confidant among senators was very
generally regarded as Senator
James F. Byrnes of South Carolina.
In fact, if Senator Robinson had
died a year ago there would have
been little doubt on Capitol Hill that
selection of Senator Byrnes as lead
err would be the thing the White
House wanted.
Actually Senator Byrnes discov-
cred. shortly after the recent bat
tie began, that all the White House
wires were being pulled for Senator
Alben w. Barley of Kentucky. Sen
ator Byrnes found he had no chance
at all. He was caught between two
millstones. So he retired from the
race, and Barley was chosen.
The most effective supporter the
President has had on Capitol Hill
has been the very non-talkative Vice
President, John Nance Garner. The
Vice President was really ousted as
one of the Presidents advisers
months ago, when he became very
vociferous, in the privacy of the
Presidents office, in insisting that
the government should take strong
stand on the sit-downs strikes. Sena-
tor Byrnes lost his popularity at
1000 Pennsylvania avenue for the
same reason.
Favored Barkley
Neither Garner nor Byrnes had
ever liked the court bill. but they
were following the President on it,
just as Joe Robinson and Pat Harri-
son were.
But the President knew their
hearts were not with him on this
issue--to him the most important OF
all. That is why he was for Bark
ley for leader. instead of Harrison.
He has always known he could de-
pend on Barley. Back in 1882 he
was SO anxious to get Barley for
temporary chairman of the national
Democratic convention that he
agreed to let Jouett Shouse be per-
manent chairman if Shouse and his
friends would not oppose Barley
for temporary chairman.
This agreement was made with
Robert Jackson, then secretary of
the Democratic national committee
1.-THE New Hampshire Jackson, not
the Robert Fl. Jackson of New York
who is now assistant attorney gen.
eraD. Listening in on an extension

Loyal to Party

Prohibition was mentioned be-
cause it is one of the most easily
demonstrated cases. Robinson was
born bone dry under the party lead
ership of William Jennings Bryan.
He became wet when the party
turned in that direction at the 1928
Democratic national convention.
Like many others, Robinson was
convinced by the 1928 landslide that
the country was overwhelmingly dry
and hence that any national party to
win=an= election must be dry.
So at national committee meet
ing the following year, held at
Washington hotel. when John ].
Raskob proposed new plan open
ing the door to repeal, Robinson
made one of the most singing
speeches ever delivered at such q
gathering.
"You shall not nail the skull and
crossbones of an outlawed trade to
the masthead of Democracy" he
shouted.
But three years later, when the
Democratic national convention
went all the way wet in its plat
form and then nominated Franklin
p. Roosevelt, who accepted the plat
form, Robinson became an ardent
wet againl
What few Northerners and West
erners understand is the cause for
this extreme party loyalty. 1t is
sound politics in the South because
of the Observation-Disclosures
since reconstruction--tha success
| of the Democratic party is the most
| Vital issue in the world--that every
thing else sinks into insignificance
when compared to it.
1t has been just about As years
since there has been any compare
