London, Advised

Confucius-like-advised ALI Landon

and Republican presidential nom
inee said he would.
you will see the wisdom of adj
hesive tape on your countenance, ="
said a message from White received
by Mr.. Landon as he sailed with the
delegation to the Pan-American
Conference at Lima, Peru.
Mr.. Landon, an appointee of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, interpreted the mes
sage as advice to keep mum and said
he would "say nothing" He declined
to speculate on why Mr.. White sent
him the message.
Two days ago Landon suggested
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman Of New
York was zone outstanding" Demo-
crat for the 1910 presidential NOM

election and also refused to name
any eligibles for the Republican
presidential candidacy.
The letter from White said: II am

sending it for three reasons-f1rst,
because I think you will enjoy it:
second, because I think it will keep
you busy, and maybe reading the life

And What
They Do
Ace Comedian Learned
EorIy to Simulate
Awkwurdness
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Many years ago, solemn little
boy with baggy pants stood in a
drizzle Of rain and fog at the Fall
River dock with bundles piled
around him. In the bundles were
six trick derbies, a sheaf of billiard
cues and an accordion in sack,
tied with a rope. Alone, the boy
boarded the Boston boat.
That was 13-year-old Jimmy
Savo on the way to his first i'm
portant vaudeville engagement.
Eighteen years later, he is the
classic of dead-pan comics, and, as
such, lends classical luster to the
role OF Dromio, in 1.-THE Boys from
Syracuse" Broadway's musical par
aphrase Of Shakespeare's Comedy
Of Errors"
Swinging Bach started a row. If
there is similar trouble from swing
ing Shapespeare, Jimmy Savos
presence in the cast ought to pre-
vent any one from turning in a riot
call. He has shuff1ed into fame
through the Commedia Dell'Arte,
trailing other great pantomimists
such as Harlequin and Truffaldino.
At the age Of 8, he was a tiny lad
with an ankle-length sweater, SELL
ing newspapers in front of Miners
Theater on the BoWery. He learned
to balance feather on his nose
such are the small beginnings of
fame-and later could balance a
billiard cue while juggling a hand
full of marbles and rubber balls.
BY this time, small as he was, he
could balance a stove or a bedstead
on his nose, as deity as Neville
Chamberlain balancing this and
that. But his success was not due to
mere muscle and skill. Once, at a
dreary Indiana crossroads, with his
hands half-frozen, he muffed catch
and brought a clatter of hardware
down on his head. His act was a
tremendous success. He discovered
the treasure of simulated awkard-
ness. Thereafter, his only stage
property was piece of string. At
that instant he was tapped for fame
and success. Us there a homily in
this for the moving pictures, shoot
ing a million or two on a play,
watching it fade, while the unassum-
ing and inexpensive Judge Hardy
family keeps on cleaning up?)
Sad-eyed Jimmy Savo kept on
stumbling over bales Of thousand
dollar bills as the years went by.
For want of better idea, he bought
walnut grove in California. He
was sadder than ever, and soon back
in town, where the roar of the ele-
waited is sweeter in his ears than the
lowing of the kline. I remember sit
ting across the table from him at
luncheon club meeting and reflect
ing that this Punchinello was an au-
thentic and all-suftcient genius, re-
quiring no intellectual overlay. His
mining just comes natural.

Jimmy Rooseve|t's Firm
Wins Commission Suit
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSS.
BOSTON, Nov. 26.-Holding that
the hope for "favors" had nothing
to do with the award of an $3.50 900
insurance account to a firm with
which James Roosevelt was con-
nected, court-appointed auditor
yesterday found that rival insur-
ance broker had not been wrong
fully deprived" of his commission
on the policy.
F. Delano Putnam, the auditor,
after five months of study Of the
evidence, declared that Arthur D.
Cronin, the broker, was mot entitled
to recover" in his suit against the
National Shawmut Bank for $31, $50,
plus interest.
Mr.. Putnam said that zone of the
principal reasons" why the bank did
not accept Cronin's insurance propo-
sal was because one of its vice presi-
dents, Raymond Zig, was a "close
personal friend Of James Roosevelt
and had been since the latter's I'M
dergraduate days at Harvard"
Mr.. Ilg's decision to "see to it,
that Roosevelt shared in the COM
mission" was made, however, the
auditor found, with no hope or
expectation of favors to the defen-
dant (Roosevelt's father having in
1888 become President of the United
States and with no thought Of
repaying Roosevelt Sargent for
past favors done by them for the
defendant"

The Political Mill
Two Texons, Dies and Sheppard, Have Power
To BIust Ambitious Hopes Of New Dealers

q presidential build up? And how
much would it help to get Mr.. Hop
kins' nomination for cabinet
place confirmed by the Senate? It
seems pretty evident that this mat
ter Of report by the Sheppard Com
mittee is becoming increasingly i'm
portant. Mr.. Hopkins, since his
declaration for Rep. Wearin, a 100
per cent New Dealer, against Sena-
tor Gillette, an anti-court bill Demo-
crat, In the Iowa senatorial primary,
has been recognized as something
more than a distributor of relief.
He has been recognized as q politi-
clan, something more than a dab
bier in politics. In the last weeks
Of the campaign he undertook the
Job Of political prophet for the
President, announcing among other
things, that Gov. Frank Murphy
would surely win reelection in
Michigan. He was wrong there.
Mr.. Hopkins has recently denied
In letter to the New York Times
that he was correctly quoted as
having said: I'VE will spend and
spend, tax and tax. and elect and
elect" Arthur Krook, Washington
correspondent of the New York
Times, has said he only used the
quotation after having made care
full verification. The quotation has
been given wide publicity. And
doubtless there are members of the
Senate'who will insist on examining
into the source of the report II Mr..
Hopkins nomination is sent to the
Senate.
With the Sheppard report and the
Dies report in the offing, it looks
as though there will be good many
brisk battles on Capitol Hill in the
months to come. Foreign affairs
and national defense, as topics of
discussion and legislation, will not
be able to keep these domestic af-
fairs completely off the front pages.
And this is particularly true if the
President is really intent upon .ad-
vancing Mr.. Hopkins as 1t Is now
rumored he desires to do.

The play, written by Emmett

Mrs. Flanagan said the play could

Make No Progress
In Row Over Story
W. P. A. Head Criticizes
Writer for Times in
Denying Statement

Harry L. Hopkins, Works Prog
ress administrator, and Arthur
L. Krock, New York Times CORE
spondent, were repeating themselves
but making no progress today at
forcing retractions or explanations
about things which have or have
not been said.
Making his second denial yester-
day that he ever had said that Eve
presumably the New Deal admin
istrationO will spend and spend, tax
and tax, and elect and elect" Mr..
Hopkins called on the New York
Times to ascertain from Mr.. Krock
the source of information on which
the quotation was based. At the
same time Mr. Hopkins criticized
Mr.. Krock for not having sought to
verify the statement directly through
him before using it in one of his
articles.
In reply, Mr.. Krock insisted he
had verified substantially the quo
tation-and the belief that it was
seriously uttered-before making
any use of it"
First Reference in 1885.
"The first reference I saw to the
quotation from Mr.. Hopkins was
published September Is, 1885, not in
the New York Times" Mr. Krock
said, "but in many other newspapers.
The second publication was
October IA, 1888, not in the New
York Times, but in many other
newspapers.
Days passed. Mr.. Hopkins made
no denial. I naturally assumed he
had none to make and, therefore, did
not apply to him. But, conceiving
the quotation to be important and a
crystallization of his political phi
losophy, as understand it, I made
inquiries at the source.
THE friend who quoted Mr.. Hop
kins, as substantially repeated, is OF
excellent repute and not at all hard
of hearing. He is at liberty to re-
veal himself if he so desires. I
learned his identity in confidence
and that confidence-unless I am
released-I shall maintain"
Expresses Astonishment.
Denying the statement and ex-
pressing establishment that writer
for the Times should stoop to the
level where he employs his column
in much the same way that opposi-

added in a letter to the Times
editor:

papermen seldom disclose sources of
information coming to them. !

asked Mr.. Krock to disclose the
identity of the person from whom
