She Could See

0NE reader, referring to the request of SAT-
ford. Ariz., woman for suggestions as to
what to inspect while she was in New York,
approves the advice to include a visit to the
Empire State Tower, for there, she in
Sists, the visitor will be looking down on the
representatives and the remnants of all the
empires Of the world. She will be able to see
them-the overflow and the backwash. the fore
runners and the frontrunners. the energetic en-
trepreneurs and the erratic escapists, the brawny
smelly worker and the puny perflhmed shirker-
who have come helter-s -skelter to Manhattan from
q tired Old World crippled by the fixation OF
classes and made dizzy by the whirling of petty
prejudices, brutal bgotry and cruel conflict.

Smiling, Sparring

CNAPPY line play between
~ Tackles Green and Roose-
welt lately is another example
of how smart everyone seems to
be getting in outwitting everyone
else.
AFL's Green went to Hyde
Park some weeks ago to object
to reappointment of Donald
Wakefield Smith to NLRB. He
found FpR Unexpectedly
friendly, even amenable to NLRB
amendments. Green thought
he had a good chance to block
the Smith appointment. Next
Day Smith was reappointed.
Inside White House explana-
ton was tfat the President
could not afford to let himself
be dictated to in such matters,
but Smith was actively backed
by LewiS)
So when FDR sent along his
friendly greeting to the AFL
convention g few days ago,
Green said it was "a fine let
ter''-and then Immediately un'
leashec a convention attack on
the Smith reappointment, C1O
and upon tire Administration
itself.
Only trouble with all this
smiling cunning is that it does
not appear to have advanced
anyone materially, including
Mr.. Smith, w1o is yet to be con
firmeG by the Senate.

SLATTERY TO SIT
in ICKES' CHAIR
Wit H CABINET
D. C. Career Man Due
To Act for Secretary
BY EARL GOODWIN

In all probability when the Cabi'
net meets tomorrow afternoon, the
fourth chair on the right Of the
President will be occupied by the
man whom Teddy" Roosevelt
used to call the Irish Rebel from
South Carolina"
This will be Acting Secretary OF
Interior Harry Slattery, Washing.
tonian by reason Of 80 years Of
residence, and one whom the
President regards as coming as
close to the ideal Of a career man
in government as anyone on Uncle
Sans pay roll.
ICKES' AIDE
Mr.. Slattery is acting for Secre-
tary Ickes by virtue of being the
No. 2 man in that Department OF
Interior which Mr.. Slattery served
in very much less elevated posi-
ton years and years ago when he
was an ace Investigator into the
skullduggery which ended in the
famous Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
versy. The scandal Of those days
was a plan $50 is was charged)
to hand over a huge coal deposit
on Government land to q private
coal company.
It was the Teapot Dome of the
RooSevelt-Taft era and put Gift
ford Pinchot on the front pages,
because he was the head forester
and the country's leading conSer-
vationist.
VERY RARE
1t is by no means unusual for an
acting secretary to sit with the
Cabinet; it is done almost every
time this Cabinet meets, inAsmuch
as Secretary Of the Navy Swanson
Is rarely present and Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Edison acts for
him; but it is so rare that the men,
ory of old-time White House aides
do not recall a career man, and a
Washingtonian, acting as Cabinet
officer.
Because although Harry Slat-
terry was born in South Carolina
he went to school here and is a
graduate Of both George Washing
ton and Georgetown Universities
and his employment in the Gov
eminent started when he became
secretary to Clifford Pinchot in
1909; later he was secretary to
Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of In
terror under President Wilson.

May OutSnlart Self Too

HITLER'S CUNNING might
n have been far more bene-
ficial to his people if he had
succeeded in getting trade
agreement with the United
States or Britain. Some hints
have been dropped semiofficially
here that he would like to talk
about it, but the suggestion has
been permitted to lie where it
fell. Our people know there is
no use in talking trade with an
economic cloister, now or (de-
spite contrary published reports)
anytime in the future.
Hitler will probably continue
to outwit both his adversaries
and himself by issuing a public
proclamation soon that all
southeast Europe is his sphere
of influence and everyone else
had better stay out.
There is at least a possibility
that he may outsmart Europe
in the end the way the Japs
have outsmarted China - by
bleeding themselves.
