JAMES MATTERN
 IS TURNED DOWN

Washington July 27 - (UP3 - Fred Flagg, director of the Bureau Of Air Commerce, said today that James Mattern's application for per- mission to fly across the North Pole to Russia had been denied, ct least for the time being.
 Fagg said that the refusal was tentative and 1t can be changed later If Mattern submits additional justifying evidence. The reason for the refusal is that the plan Submit- ted by Mattern does not meet the specifications of the bureau"
 He said that among things con- sidered were the scientific value of such trip and the air worthiness of both pilot and plane.

Administration Handicapped

Senators had no one to talk te because Joe was i'll so much of the time. The opposition was well-fi- nanced, backed by Q great propa- ganda effort and aided by such shrewd old heads as Borah anad Hiram Johnson.
 The administration, unable tO use party funds or--in most cas- es-party machinery, kept up It's end with R0osevelt's radio speeches, efforts of cabinet mem- hors and behind the scenes ef- fSrts, although Judiciary Chair man Ashurst's "all or nothing" attitude grated on many nerves. The sit-down strikes and the wage-hour bill helped the Oppo- sltion gain recruits, but the ad- EslnlStration was doing fairly well vntll Justice Van Devanter's res- tYnation.
 After the courts favorable Wag. ner act and Social Security deci- sions, many advisers urged Roose. veit to put the court fight off tt the end of the session and hold Il as c Damoclean sword. They ar. gued he had achieved his chief ain ---liberalized decisions. After Var Devanter's resignation the pressure for holding the fight of and keeping the bill buried In committee be- came terrific.

BEHIND l THE SCENJESl WASHINGTON kRV ROONEY oUTcHER-i

 Correspondent
Garner Big F actor In
 Defeat Of
 Court Bill

Washington, July 27-This isn't the entire secret history of the com plete collapse of the Roosevelt Su- iweme Court plan. But it's an essen- tal part of 1t.
 The inside story begins with Att torney General Homer $. Cum mlngs. It was he who sold the spectacular plan to Roosevelt and persuaded Roosevelt it should be kept secret until popped, lest the sensational story be leaked.
 The original draft of the Roose- welt message to Congress on the plan was written by Cummings and Don- aid Richberg. Cummings had the bill written by a brilliant young lawyer who has been identified to your correspondent under oath of secrecy.
 The Department of Justice had charge of llaison work with con KresS on the bill, the job being as- signed to Assistant Attorney Gen. eraI Joe Keenan, who had Co work with the late Senate Leader Joe Robinson.
 Robinson was dying, For four months he was on Q buttermilk diet md often In agony. He wasn't en- thusiastic about the bill, and was wounded because he hadn't been consulted. In IS years he had built up a personal organization, carrying oil trades, debts and other data In his head. Other leaders didn't fight for the court plan because of apathy or because Joe insisted on doing the lob himself

Wheeler and the opposition to draft their own bill. Senator Barkley, the new party leader, went before the hostile judiciary committee with Garner, and got much less than he expected.
 Garner had command of the show and it was obvious to everyone that he was working for something which would satisfy more opposition sen- ators than administration senators.
 Other incidents helped smash the court bill, notably Governor Leh- mans well-timed letter. But this is the best available story now of how the great court bill struggle ended almoe overnight

Robinson's Handicap

6ut tkle van DeVuHteE EeSlRlhVlOLl brought up Robinson's name and demand for his appointment to the court-a longtime ambition with Joe-from all the progressives, Roosevelt implied to Robinson that he couldn't put him in the court without adding couple of liberals at the same time. Joe and many of his friends insisted on action.
 And perhaps the high point of
 this story Is the fact that about
 two months ago it would have
 been easy to pass Q compromise

 ing the chief justice serve over all,
 with . justice from each circuit.
 This would have been satisfactory
 Co Roosevelt, one Is told.
 But Robinson couldn't take that Many years ago the circuits were 50 derrymandered that the eighth circuit which includes Robinson's s state of Arkansas also included Jus tice Pierce Buffers state of Min nasota. And Butler wasn't going to resign and Robinson couldn't go on to represent the eighth circuit.
 Robinson insisted to the president he could get bill satisfactory to Roosevelt If he could be allowed to handle it in his own way on e per- sonal basis. And he could have. At one time he said he had 54 senators pledged to the Hatch amendment. which would have given Roosevelt three court appointments by Jan- uary. He wouldn't have started the night without assurance of 62.
 Pledges Die With Joe
 But Robinson died, and many of his pledges proved to be purely per- sonaL They died with him. Among those who had promised Robinson were Andrews of Florida, Brown of Michigan, Bulow of South Dakota and Russell of Georgia. These joined with Overton of Louisiana, Adams of Colorado, Herring of Iowa and Gillette of Iowa-all supposedly un- committed-in bloc to demand re- committal to the judiciary commit tee, which meant the bills death.
 Garner entered the picture, re- turning and conferring on the train back from Robinson's funeral. There Is no record that Garner fought for anything but to keep the demo- cratic party together.
 In Washington, he promised Roosevelt he would get the best possible compromise if authorized to deal with the senate. He also asked Roosevelt if he still felt the same way about organized labor, relief ex- penditures and the wage-hour bill, and Roosevelt said he did.
 Some here regard this as de- mand for a price. At any rate, Gar ner won no compromise but only a complete removal of all portions of the bill affecting the supreme court. Later the "Recommittal Octette" went to Garner and announced its position. Some of these senators reported later that he seemed well satisfied and wanted only to keep the pal y intact

ing the tour. For while we expected

we really did not expect to find the
enthusiasm and interest which is be-
ing shown. We are delighted, OF
course. at this interest since we know
it will be noticed and appreciated by
our guests from all over the United

! Between IS and 80 travel bureau exc
! cutives, travel councillors motor club
secretaries, tour directors and travel
editors have already accepted the IN
vitation of the State advertising COM
mittee Of which ]. L. Horne, .Jr., pub
Usher of the Rocky Mount Evening
Telegram, is chairman. These include
some of the best known travel bu-
reau heads and travel writers in the
| entire country. Additional accept
ances are being received almost every
! day and those in charge of the tour
are confident that at least 85 persons
will be ON the tour and possibly even
more. The committee is frankly sur
prised at the response it has received
to it's invitations and to the unusual
interest being shown in it by travel
bureaus, magazines and travel editors
in all sections of the country.
The main purpose of the tour, ac-
cording to the committee, was to give
the. heads of travel agencies, motor
club secretaries, and travel writers an
opportunity to come to North Caro-
lima to see for themselves just what
the State has to offer in scenery, re-
sorts, climate and accommodations.
1t felt that this tour would better en-
able travel directors to map out tours
for persons wishing to visit the state
for the first time, also that it might
help in getting them to include North
Carolina in interstate group tours.
The committee also felt that travel
editors would be much more inclined
to use news and feature stories deal
ing with North Carolina if they should
visit the, state, see every section of it
and get first-hand information con-
corning it. Travel and resort sec
ton editors, as well as editors of trav-
ell magazines, have been showing more
and more interest in North Carolina
ever since it started it's new state ad-
vertising campaign the first of July.
The bus companies operating in the
state are also giving excellent coopera-
ton and are providing new buses of
the very latest design for the trans
portation of the tour party, and with
out any charge either for the buses
or the drivers, the committee pointed
out The bus companies operating in
western part of the state will provide
the transportation while the party is
in that section and then turn it over
to the lines in the eastern part of the
state when it reaches this section.

CANDID CANAPES


Colorful canapes are smart
send-off for the simplest of parties
Swept into popularity on the crest
of the repeal wave-as an accessory
to the resulting boom of cocktail
parties-they gradually have come
to fill many chinks in other party
menus. They also have found wider
use as appetizers to be served at the
beginning of the meal.
The wise hostess has learned
that when she serves canapes she
must have a generous assortment
of them-and also a plentiful sup
ply. For it is surprising the num-
Der whicls will disappear when
even few guests are present.
Consequently she should plan
on per capita consumption of at
least half a dozen for her guests.
And if she has any doubts on their
capacities she should double thai
amount.
Although cocktail napkins arc
generally passed when cocktails
are served canapes should not be
sticky, since they are meant to
be eaten with the fingers. They
should be small enough to be eaten
in one or two bites, and they
should DE arranged on trays or
serving dishes which are convent
emily scattered around the room or
rooms in which the guests will cir
culate.
Here are few ideas for canapos
which are comparatively easy to
make.
Shrimp Surprises
Dip cooked shrimps in catsup and
place them on rounds of toast spread
with mayonnaise and butter Sprin-
kle them with lemon juice and pa
prika
Stuffed Eggs
Cut hard-cooked eggs into halves
Remove and mash the yolks. Add to
the yolks some chopped cooked ham,
tongue, anchoyies or sardines. Mix
in bit of mayonnaise and lemon
juice. Roughly refill the white cases
land top them with pickle relish.
Toasted Fingers
Spread bread fingers cut into
shapes about two inches long and
one inch wide--with butter and
fish paste Toast Serve while warm
Frankfurter Rounds

even overnight. Peel and cut ths

frankfurters into slices an eighth
of an inch thick. Place on small
toast rounds topped with dill pickles
and spread with mustard. The re-
suit is a canape which is particu-
larly popular with men.
Tuna Tid-Bits
Make a savory thick cream sauce.
Add tuna fish or crab meat and
spread on toast fingers. Garnish
with bits of pimientos and ripe
olives. Toast for about five minutes,
and serve Immediately.
Stuffed Tomatoes
If tiny tomatoes are obtainable,
select those about an inch and a
half in diameter. Peel them and
coop out the centers. Stuff with
;hicken, sardine or tuna salad which
S not too moist, sprinkle with salt
md paprika and serve them perched
IN tiny toast rounds.
Cheese Bacon Squares
Place thinly-cut cheese slices on
wo-inch squares of bread. Spread
With mustard and minced onion.
Top with bacon squares. Bake for
about ten minutes or until they
are sufficiently Drowned. Serve
while hot.
Ham Pin-Wheels
Spread ham or fish relish, which
has been thinned by the addition
of mayonnaise on biscuit dough-
Roll the dough up into tiny pin
wheels and bake them for about
.en minutes. Serve hot-with the
ops brushed with butter. CThese
pin may be stored in the re-
frigerator until it is time to use
them.)
