Washington Observations
New York Rumors Say Justice Irving Lehman May
Be Named to Succeed Cardozo.

"capstone Of Catholic education In
America" on another half century OF
service. From two buildings and eight
faculty members, the university since
1888 has grown into an institution
with 1000 students, 200 faculty men,
bers, $4,000 alumni and campus of
almost 400 acres and 18 major build
ings. Grouped around this plant"
are the study houses Of 36 different
religious orders, 16 affiliated estab-
lishments and the National Shrine Of
the Immaculate Conception. Besides
all these, there are 40 colleges and
1875 high schools in all parts Of the
Union which are c. U. af1liates. The
university's Board of Trustees includes
Supreme Court Justice Pierce Butler
and former Gov Alfred E. Smith.
Roosevelt luck" shows signs Of
repeating-as far as the business situa-
ton is concerned-on the eve OF next
months elections. Security prices on
the New York Stock Exchange bounded
back last week to midsummer highs
after succumbing to bear pressure
which knocked them galley west
during the European war crisis. In
addition, there are concrete signs Of
industrial improvement. Engineering
construction awards were largest for
any September since 1929. Last weeks
automobile output, though still
far below 1879 corresponding week,
was 48.2 per cent above the previous
week. Steel production also mounted,
though not materially, likewise freight
car loadings. Copper consumption is
now at the years highest level. Busi-
ness did not trend exclusively upward.
Radio advertising was down In Sep
tember, as were income tax receipts,
compared to year ago. Lumber ship
ments, department store sales, ship
construction and life insurance invest
ments receded, too. BY and large If
trade maintains average levels of the
past fortnight, Democratic chances
on November 8 will be considerably
brighter than 80 days ago.
Jim Davis, whose prospects Of sue
ceeding himself in the Senate from
Pennsylvania are conceded to be visiblv
better than $3.50, has gone medical
in his campaign to beat Gov Earle,
his Democratic opponent. Quoth Jim

against the Governor:
Gov Earle has been trying
every form of patent medicine on
sick Pennsylvania the last four
years. and the patient gets worse
as the dosing increases. Pennsyl-
vaAia has been bled white with
taxes, chloroformed with Earle
propaganda, sweated with under
paid w. P. A. labor, needed with
unconstitutional attempts to throttle
the grand jury. and improperly
bandaged with the partisan ad-
.ninistration of social welfare
measures. Incredible amounts of
money have been spent by going
to record depths of debt and rails
ing taxes to an all-time high. So
far there has been no fundamental
cure and no improvement. Four

Among the threescore and more dis
tinguished members Of the American
Roman Catholic hierarchy now in
washington to inaugurate the golden
Jubilee year of the Catholic University
of America-Cardinal Dougherty OF
Philadelphia, dozen Archbishops and
60-odd Bishops-there is naturally

and the Reich's general hostility to-
ward Rome. Prospectively the resent

olic leaders by the eliminating out

Cardinal Mundelein who about year
ago called down upon his eminent
head the thunderous wrath OF the
Fuehrer and the whole Nazi regime
for describing Hitler, in public ad-
dress, not only as an Austrian but
as "a paper hanger. and not a very
good one at that" The expectation
is that the Chicago prelate, famed for
vigorous speech. will have something
to say at New Orleans about current
events in Europe.
