The Listening Post By Carlisle Bngoon

Douglass first press conference was attended
by what Mr.. Waltman the well known columnist,
described as the greatest assemblage of distin-
guished journalists ever known" Mr.. Mailman,
himself. was there.
The Associated Press boys had been told to put
color in their stories, so they wrote:
"Hardhitting, twofisted antiWall Street, curly
haired, blonde Joe Douglass, new head of the
NCEA, today outlined his plans"
Douglass, in emphatic terms, declared that if
the chocolate eclair manufacturers were good
they fear no trouble from him. But If they try
any monkey business we intend to bear down." he
said significantly.
The New York Herald Tribune complained
about the further disregard of the merit system
in the appointment of the $4,000 employees of the
NCEA. "No good will come of this" it warned
solemnly.
Mr.. Roosevelt after a conference with Chair.
man Douglass, announced that all employees were
being taken on solely on the basis Of merit.

they are all New Dealers"

Fe. Taos is the colony where the uneasy intel
lectuals and artists go to get away from it all.
And promptly run into each other-hard. Tony
is the hero of Mabel's new book about Taos.
Days went by and still did not meet Tony.
In Sante Fe he was promised hourly. He'd be by

Heaven and the Southwest rewarded me. Tony

Mabel Keeps Tony Natural
Quickly and sadly I must tell you that he
didn't look like the young Hiawatha.
He wore white shirt with broad, red ribbon
across his thick chest. His trousers stuffed
into his high boots. Mabel definitely had kept
her Tony natural Instead of a coat he had
wrapped about his shoulders red and black
striped blanket

mans Interpretation of chocolate 9clairs"
The National Chocolate Eclair administration,
it was announced, would be composed of five
members, the chairman receiving $4,000 year
and the others $4,000 a year. Local Chocolate
Eclair Administrations were to be set up in each
State, the State paying 40 per cent of the cost
which would be given them by WPA.
There was quite bit of speculation as to the
identity Of the new chairman until J. O. Douglass
was announced for the place. Tommy Corcoran,
Administrator brain truster, had caused to be pub
lished through the many mediums at his COM
mand, that the Economic Royalists were trying to
name H. H. Brown so that the chocolate eclair
manufacturers could control the Administration.
But the Liberals, these stories said, wanted Joe
Douglass who was anathema to Wall Street.
