Corner Stone Is Hidden
From Souvenir Hunters
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Mayor La
Guardia will be surprised when he
returns from q trip to New Orleans
and finds that the corner stone for
the city's new circumferential park
way, which he laid Saturday amid
oratory, is not where he put it.
The Mayor prides himself on the
way he wields a trowel.
The park development is ready to
explain, however, that the stone
really isn't missing. After the cere-
mony, they just ripped it up and
put it in shed a few hundred feet
away-for safekeeping from SOU
venir hunters.
You'd be surprised the things
they'll pick up," a park department
engineer said. "We'll put it back
where it was next spring sometime. ."
He said it was in the way of con-
struction now. The stone weighs
800 pounds.

made again and again in less con-
spicuous ways before, and more
often by those who for the last
three or four years have been en-
phasizing that too much reliance
was being placed on legislation and
not enough on the encouragement
of the normal processes Of produc-
ton and management. The reali-
zation today that overemphasis on
any of the factors does not bring
the whole economic machinery into
gear is spreading throughout Gov
ernment. The discovery is being
made that individuals must work,
must produce, must be paid fair
wages, and that the something for
nothing solutions solve nothing. It's

conciliatory manner-or he can take
the other tack. The President is
getting plenty of advice. Those
leaders who really believe that there
Is danger to the party unless har-
mony is restored are seeking to con-
vince the President that he should
do everything possible to reunite its
radical and conservative wings.
Those who prefer to tell the Presi-
dent what they believe he would like
to hear, insist that he should con-
tinue his drive to the left" no mat
ter how the chips fall.
The party leaders who are anxious
for greater harmony--and through
conciliatory measures-have faith in
the Presidents ability to grasp a
situation when it is made clear to
him. They saw him, for example,
agree to the denomination of Gov
Herbert H. Lehman of New York
last September-although he did not
want Lehman for Governor. Yet
when it had been made clear to him
that If Lehman were not nominated,
1t would be flirting with defeat in
the Empire State, the President S
own State, Mr.. Roosevelt acquiesced
in the nomination.
Hope for Happy Course.
They hope now that the President
will pick q happy course in dealing
with Congress and the conservative
Democrats in that body. But they
are not sure; not yet at any rate
They may gain more confidence af-

head and Majority Leader Rayburr
OF the House, and with Senate,
Barkley Of Kentucky, Democratic
leader OF the Senate, and others
who are to meet with the President
over the week end.
Some of the presidential advisers
have suggested to the President that
the November elections had moth
ing to do with the prestige of the
Roosevelt administration or with
the personal popularity, or lack of
1t, of the President. They have told
the President that where New Deal
Democrats were defeated for re-
election the defeats were due en-
tirely to local issues. And, as far
as Is known, that is the view taken
by the President himself. Massa-
chusetts and defeat of Jim" Curley
are mentioned as Exhibit A.
Take Different View.
There are other Democratic lead
ers who take q very different view,
who frankly admit when they are
talking turkey that there was a
very considerable protest vote-pro-
test against the Roosevelt admins
tration-cast in November. This
protest, they say, grew out of dis

Or they say he might even wait
