"Whynot?"

4 'But if it is going to make a
drudge of you-rob you of your
youth and beauty?"
She made little gesture of i'm
p a tt e neFe-"Aren't there other
things besides youth and beauty
Jerry, might be nymph or
dryad for all you think of my mind
and SOUL"
"It is your soul love, Mimi"
"Is it? Then don't talk so much
about my looks" She leaned for
ward above the FIRE and dropped
Andy's letter, bit by bit, into the
flames. The kittens, who had
walked, watched her from their
basket with bright eyes. When
the letter had gone up in smoke,
Mimi tore the picture across and
laid it, too, on the Goals. Andy's
handsome countenance writhed
for a moment in the heat, then
faded into gray charred wisp.
Mimi turned and faced me, her
cheeks scarlet. There" she said,
that's the last of him."
l. It was early in April that my
| father was called home by the ILL
ness Of my grandmother. A tele-
gram from Aunt Mary informed
him that he must come at once.
He was much disturbed. II hate
to leave you, Jerry"
I tried to smile at him. I'VE
shall get along all right" But
was not SO sure. Hayes was still
unable to- take hold of things, and
I dreaded the thought of added
burdens for Mimi. 1 felt that my
life of inactivity must cease; that
I must get to the lower level and
direct the men. Mimi would thus
be saved the strain and stress, and
L would feel myself once more an
important figure in the affairs of
the farm.
l shall never forget the charm
of that first morning when 1 rode
with Mimi down into the valley.
The ranch was beautiful with |
bloom and teeming with new life. |
Whole regiments Of ducklings were
on their way to the streams which |
flowed cold from the mountains. |
The old hens narshalled battalions |
of chicleps. The little pigs, rus
set and slant squealed vocif- |
erous welcome; the young Hol
stems, their clear white banded |
with black, came confidingly to
meet us. The capriciouS colts took
to theiE heels at our approach, then
charged back TO the fence to be
petted.7 AS for the lambs and
pigeons, they were, to use Minis
extravagant phrase, simply heav-
enly." AS she stood in the clear
sunshine, she made an enchanting
picture, with the lambs crowding
close the pigeons circling above
her head.
And what shall I say of all that
lovely world about us? The
streams singing as they rushed
down from the high peaks? The
their white tops set
like mammoth magnolias in bou-
quets Of gold and cl1rysoprase, the
valleys cifciing them with ribbons
of Jade?

"And leave me?"
mot here, Mimi. At that time,
I thought it might be a solution of
our problems. You could go back
to st. Louis, and no one need ever
know that our dreams had not
come true"
Dead silence, then she came
over and knelt beside my chair.
I'll am glad you broke your leg,
Jerry, if you were thinking such
thoughts as that. And you might
have died-for France" s.
"Pd much rather live for you,
Mimi. But it doesn't sound very
heroic to say it."
Il don't want you to be a hero.
I'm not a heroine. It is much
nicer to be just human" she laid
her cheek against mine.
After a moment, she drew away
from me. do you see this letter? ?"
She f1icked a finger towards the
breast pocket of her silk shirt,
from which an envelope protruded.

Andy had, it seemed, sent her
his picture-Lafayette Escadrille
and he was, in his uniform, very
cocky and handsome. He wrote
with the effect of an apology, but
1 could sec behind the words all of
his egotism. his assurance. Il am
afraid 1 offended you, Mimi. But
I wanted to make you happy.
Perhaps, Chandler can do it, but 1
doubt it. You're good sport. I'll
say that. To stick it out

back on her heels. "Oh, I'm going

I've been hurt BEFORE grimly.

She laid down the letter to dis
euss that. 1T isn't God-forsaken.
Jerry. So why should we care ?"

Executives of certain railroads
are denounced for "knowingly'
submitting false statements to the
interstate commerce commission,
by Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana, and Harry S. Truman,
of Missouri, of the senate COM
mittee investigating railroads.
The denunciation followed the pro-
duction of evidence before the
committee that the Wabash rail-
road, largely owned by the
Pennsylvania railroad, went into
bankruptcy in 1881 partly be-
cause of Wall Street stock trans
actions. These deals resulted in
a loss to the Wabash of approx
n1ately $23,OOO,00O. One Of the
witnesses before the committee,
A. K. Atkinson, vice president
and treasurer of the Wabash, is

Q.N.SO The House Appropria- |
tions Committee met behind closed
doors today to perfect final draft
Of the omnibus recovery bill, as
COP opposition lines formed to
battle the measure when it reaches
the House floor Tuesday.
House Minority Leader Smell, OF
New York, announced the 80 Re
publican members would hold q
conference early next week to
chart their course. He predicted
the minority would center its fight
on an attempt to turn relief back
to the States.
BILLION TO PWA
AS the committee convened, 1t
appeared the recovery bill would
be presented to the House carry
ing total of approximately $2.'
300, 900, 900 for loans and spend
ing. Of this sum, $1,250, 900, 900
would go to WPA, $1,000, ,000, 900
to PWA, $500 900 900 to the United
States Housing Authority, $175,-
600, 900 to the Farm Security Ad-
ministration, $75,000,000 to the
National Youth Administration,
and $25,OOO,000 for Federal
buildings.
The most vital phase Of Presi.
dent Roosevelt'S $4,512,0OO, ,0OO
lend-and-spend program, the meas
ure will follow on the heels Of re
covery legislation already ap
proved by the House, including
$500, 100000 for RFC loans
$100, ,000, 900 additional for roads
and $50,OO0,OO for CCC camps.

CONSUMERS RAP
FAIR TRADE LAW

Organized consumer groups here
yesterday asSailed proposals before
the House District Committee to
set up a fair trade practice law
for the District, and demanded
further hearings before the Judi
ciary Subcommittee.
Two bills, which aim to estab-
lish fair trade practice laws in
the capital, prohibiting the sale
of goods below actual retail costs,
have been introduced by Repre-
sentatives PalmiSano CD Of Mary
land and Howard Smith CD Of
Virginia.
Consumer spokesmen charged
the House District Committee had
made no attempt to obtain data
on the high cost of living in Wash

Price-Fixinu
of Cotton
Attacked

0N.s.) While praising the New
Deals reciprocal trade treaties as
modest approach" toward re-
storing the principle Of the divi-
sion of labor on an international
basis" William L. Clayton, head
of the worlds largest cotton
brokerage, charged the Admins
tration'S price-pegging and high
tariffs have prevented national
prosperity.
In an address before the United
States Chamber Of Commerce din
ner last night, Clayton said the
Federal price-pegging and high
tariffs have substantially de-
stroyed" the nations foreign mar.
kets for its surplus agricultural
products.
Government subsidy and regi-
mentation walk hand-in-hand,"
Clayton stated. "The only way
we ever will get out Of this de-
preston is to trade and work our
way out. If we will lower the
barriers to international trade,
remove other impediments to
foreign and domestic trade and
release the initiative Of the
American people in the field Of
capital investments, there will
be work for all who want to
work.
"The cause (of agricultural
distress) is that the American
farmer buys in a highly pro
tected market and sells in . free
market. Agricultural distress,
resulting from the new economic
nationalism, has been greatly
intensified by overnm ent
loans, Government price.peg.
ging and Government subsidized
| curtailment Of production"

Recovery Bill Draft Is Sped
AS COP Foes Plan Fight

"The primary purpose of this
spending program is to gain a
direct effect on the congressional
elections this fall.
IF this is successful, together
with his other powers, the Presi-
dent can just about get his reor-
ganization bill, wage and hours
and other measures through the
next Congress. And if he does,
Congress might as well go home.
He won't need them.
II think it is a crime to pass
this program. We've been all
through this once before and
we're back at the bottom of the
we'll. 1t was an experiment in
thu first place, and it has demon
strated you can't spend yourself
into prosperity.
PREDICTS MONETARY CRISIS
IF this doesn't end we are
going to find ourselves going
through the series Of monetary
crises that France has expe-
rienced."
Representative Bacon (R.) @
New York, a member of tn
Appropriations Committee, wi
propose an amendment to prt
hibit the President creating an
more new agencies Of Government
with the use of relief money or b
Executive order.
"These agencies, like the Ma.
tional Youth Administration,
the Prison Industries Board, and
the rest Of them, should be
created only by Congress-" he
declared.
He will also offer an amen,
ment to prevent the PWA frol
financing projects that compel

ment Is directly aimed at curtai

Ickes Turns
Light Lou
On West
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

II the ghost OF UnderSecretary
Charles "Banquo" West of the In
terror Department by chance wan
dered into the departments clol-
stored corridors today, he must
have had difficulty finding the
chair, unoccupied now for three
months, assigned to his use.
For instead of having a theo-
retical suite of offices in the same
wing as Secretary Harold L. IckeS.
his desk. chair and single recep-
tionist-all that are left of his
former glory--Were quartered in
solitary and idle grandeur at the
far end of the building, as far
removed from the throne room as
possible on the same floor.
There the undersecretary, get
ting farther under all the time,
following his virtual banishment
by Secretary Ickes, may twiddle
his thumbs if he chooses.
NO OFFICIAL MAIL
There his one receptionist may
dc all the receptioning there is to
do for an absentee official with
no official business routed his
way
There is no official mail to be
answered, and if there we're there
would be no one there to answer
It.
Callers seldom show up any
more, since word got around the
Under secretary was surplus so
far as his chief was concerned.
Even the telephone seldom rings
and when it does, the calls are
never from within the Interior
Department.
1t all came out today as janitors
ana workmen made the former
suite of the under secretary,
directly below that of Secretary
Icxes, ready for the occupancy of
Assistant Secretary Ebert K. Bur.
law, newly elevated to Cabinet
grade.
SMALLER SUITE
Under Secretary West, if he
should have occasion to use the
telephone or talk over old times
with his receptionist, will find
them in the smaller suite former,
ly occupied by the late Assistant
Secretary Theodore A. Walters,
far. far away.
His secretary, official aides and
office staff were scattered several
weeks ago by assignment to other
activities. The shift in suites, ef.
fective this week, was regarded
around the Interior Department
as the last step but one in the
elimination of Mr.. West from
Mr.. Ickes' official orbit. Whether
President Roosevelt or Under Sec
retary West will take the final
step remained to be seen. He was
still on the pay roll today.
ON PACIFIC COAST
For the last two or three weeks
Under Secretary West has been
on the Pacific Coast, repeatedly
on a political mission. For months
before that, until Secretary Ickes
decided the time had come to dc
something about his ranking but
absent aide, long known as 8
White House contact man at the
Capitol, he was said to have de
voted little time to his officia
Interior Department duties.
1t was understood by the Under
Secretary's friends today that NJ
would take his latest troubles t;
the White House-as he did hi;
earlier ones.
But Secretary IckeS, whose eye
have been known to twinkle whcr
asked about Mr.. West. as usua
had nothing to say.

The paper stated Bullitt related
that Mr.. Roosevelt told him, while
they were fishing together:
You can be sure that I shall
not run in 1910. The first thing
will do upon leaving the White
House will be to take a boat for
Paris, which desire to see

The only hitch in all this was
that the Paris Soir claimed Bullitt
had landed at Havre. Actually

The Washington times., 1938-05-06


It was the decision to adopt this
policy which brought, behind
closed doors, rejection of propo-
sails for resolutions condemning
the Roosevelt spending program
in the chambers annual meeting
just adjourned.
This was revealed by George
Davis, Kansas City grain dealer,
who was reelected president Of the
chamber for another year.
CONFIDENCE SOUGHT
Localized instillation of conf
dence in business leadership, rath-
er than Capitalization of business
recovery efforts in Washington
and through attacks on laws to
which chamber member units OBJ
ject, was adopted as a policy, said
Davis.
Political and economic analysts
puzzled over three about-turn
policy moves executed by the ira
ditionally conservative chamber in
four days.
They were at a loss to explain
it, and a dozen chamber high
officials professed equal ignor-
ance of exact causes. Advance
publicity for the meeting was all
predicated upon trend in exactly
the opposite direction.
The chamber opened its twenty
sixth annual meeting of Monday
with fire breathing pronounce
ments against the New Deal, and
picked as particularly vulnerable
targets Roosevelt spending and
burdensome taxes. Big red-let-
tered folders assuring denounce-
mentS Of taxes were distributed
by the chambers publicity offices
by the thousand. And speakers
on chamber platforms bore all
this out.
VOTES is DIFFERENT
Then, when the time came to
vote chamber policy for the com
ing year in the shape Of formal
resolutions, not a single measure
adopted specifically dealt with
spending. And the question of
burdensome taxes was dismissed
with a resolution referring the
subject to a committee for study
in effect a pigeon-holding move.
