BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON "."
eY RODNEY BUTCHER.

peen headed by HOPKINS.
Now the President anticipates
putting his closest associate in the
administration, who is Washing
toms New Dealer No. 2, into the
Commerce Department as part Of
an effort to improve government
relations with business. Business
men and New Dealers alike are
lukewarm about Roper.
Several government functions
need coordination under the De-
partment of Commerce roof and
the plan is to put certain agencies
there under Hopkins.
Thus the tentative idea is to
make Commerce a much bigger
Job, commensurate with what
Roosevelt considers are Hopkins
abilities.
Replacement of Secretary of
War Harry Woodring by Assistant
Secretary of War Louis Johnson
is still in the cards, likely to pop
DG1OlC Z 1Oii6.
Johnson is playing a leading
part in the administrations big re-
armament and national defense
program.
Sooner or later, also, Assistant
Secretary of = the Navy Charles
Edison will succeed Secretary
Claude Swanson, who is in poor
health.
Edison usually is called "the real
secretary of the Navy" and he and
Johnson are co-chairmen of the
Army and Navy Munitions Board.
-Rumors that Secretary of La
Dor Frances Perkins might soon
resign are, to this date at least, un-
founded. Miss Perkins likes her
job and is more popular in Wash
lngton than she used to be.
It's still anticipated that Jim
Farley will step out as postmaster
general and retain the Democratic
national Craftsmanship. But no one
knows when.

National Cotton Council
Has 5-Point Program
for Consumption

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 23.--
(UP)-A conference of the Ma
tional. Cotton Council ended yes
terday after adopting five-point
program designed to get the cot
ton industry out of the red with
out federal aid.
Oscar Johnston, chairman of the
council, outlined a plan whereby
consumption of American cotton
and its by-products could be in
creased both at home and abroad,
1t was approved by representa-
tives of cotton industries in Is
states.
He pointed out that $150,000
would be needed to start the pro-
gram Of advertising, scientific re-
search for new uses for cotton,
creation of good will toward
American cotton in foreign mar
kets, stimulation of international
commerce and to fight discrimina-
tory freight rates.
Then. he said, S1,500,000 will
be needed annually to maintain
operations.
Declaring that the task facing
the council would require "heavy
financing" he called upon every
section Of the cotton industry to
cooperate.
Before the conference ended,
three vice-chairmen were elected.
They wer Lamar Fleming, Hous-
ton, Tex; Harold Young, Little
Rock, Ark, and DR.. David K. Co.

than likely to succeed Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings
when the latter retires in January
to practice laW-but that's moi
certain.
Roosevelt may appoint Gov
Frank Murphy of Michigan, who
was defeated for reelection.
Murphy was the Presidents
choice for the attorney general
ship in 1888 after his principal
choice, Senator Tom Walsh OF
Montana, died.
Cummings was then slated for
governor generalship of the
Philippines. But a critical Far
Eastern situation developed and
Roosevelt sent Murphy to the
islands instead.
Sooner Or later, Murphy is
fairly certain to be in the cabi-
net.
Currently there is much pres
sure to get Murphy to act as
mediator of the G. /. 'O.-A. F. of l.

from both sides and it's a fair bet
Roosevelt also is trying to get him
to accept.

Staff Sgt. Joe Foster of the U.

ed in the Federal building at
Asheville, has advised that five
Henderson county boys have en-

states that all ex-regulars of the
United States army are eligible
for enlistment in the regular army

been discharged within the last
three years and are otherwise
qualified. The government pays
two dollars per month to men en-

THANKSGIVING

The fundamental pflnclple underlying
the giving of thanks, or the formal observ-
ance of fixed celebration for thanksglv-
ing. is that of the spirit of individuals and
not the mere formal observance. The for
- NAL observance may have, and usually
does, we believe, little significance. AS man
kind is taught to worship the Creator in
spirit and in truth, SO his creatures must go
much farther than the mere formaLty OF
observing a fixed day of thanksgiving, II
they are to give thanks in spirit and IN
truth.
"r. These are trite statements and, no doubt,
already we'll considered and weighed IN
the thinking of intelligent and serious per-
sons However, it may be that some con-
sideration of the subject may induce seri-
Gus thinking on the part of persons not
much given to that course.
A spirit of thanksgiving is not something
which should animate our people for day
formally designated by the chief executive
of the national government or the chief
executive of the State. Good citizens
should maintain in their lives a condition
OF thanksgiving throughout the year and
throughout the years. As the day comes,
however, for the formal recognition of our
duty and privilege in giving thanks, no
citizen of the country should fail to give
recognition to the general and national
blessings which are a substantial reason
- for thankfunesS in this country. In our
J. own State and in the limited area of the
safield of this newspaper, there are addi-
- rtional reasons for thanksgiving.
1t has been the custom of this newspaper
when the annual day of thanksgiving is
celebrated, and on other occasions as well,
to remind our people of the special and
particular blessings they enjoy as residents
of Western North Carolina. The natural
advantages of this section afford material
~ blessings which many of our fellow Amer
leans are deprived of in a measure. They
A.. are basic reasons for giving thanks, tomor-
a, row and every day.
~ At this time, also, citizens of this country
are fully warranted in making comparison
of general conditions in their own and in
foreign countries. Our foremost and most
important reason for giving thanks at this
time may well be put down as the fact that
arising from this citizenship.
So, we come to the formal recognition
of another annual occasion on which we
recognize our duty and privilege in show
ing ourselves to be men and women and
children with the true thanksgiving char
we are citizens of the United States OF
America, and for the numerous blessings
aeter and spirit. We count our many bless
ings, individual, local and national bless
ings, pausing for the formal acknowledge
ment of our Indebtedness to the author ot
all good and perfect gifts for his individual
y ls and collective care of his people of oul
land with the bounties of his hands during
the past twelve months.

HUNTERS EXCITEMENT: The

HUN Elk > EASl ! EMENl ihe
joke of the season seems to be on
Hall Reaben, reported by the
press to be too excited to shoot
when a 300-pound bear walked out
near his hunting stand. l wasn't
surprised at Mr.. Reaben's excite
ment but / was at the cool, col
lected manner Of Mrs. Gene
Wright, back in the forest alone,
who killed Il big buck deer with
one shot.
The bear might have frightened
Mr.. Reaben, which wouldn't be
unreasonable in the least, hut
there is a hunters excitement or
fright just as distinctive as stage
fright to the person not accust0m-
ed to speaking publicly. 1t is not
wholesome feeling.
| remember, when a boy in my
teens, marching forth with a faith
full dog to hunt squirrels. I was
armed with a single-barrel-muzzle-
loading gun. The dog "treed" and
/ tried to aim at the squirrel but
was so nervous / doubt if | hit the
tree top; at least / didn't bring
down the game. The squirrel was
jumping from limb to limb; the
dog was barking with greatest ex-
citement as | attempted to reload.
| was too nervous to measure a
thimbleful Of powder from the
powder horn. l wasn't able to
make the mouth of the shot pouch
contact the guage, therefore pour
ed some in the barrel. Wadding
and ram-rodding was a poor job
and the firing cap was too tiny to
ever get in place.
don't know why a young life
should get SO worked up over the
prospects of killing a harmless
squirrel. The thrill today would
be worth a million dollars but if
it takes a 300-pound bear away
back in the forests to produce it,
you may have the million. l
wouldn't dare shoot except in my
own defence, and then / might
not be able.

HEL|UM CONTRACT

BY the Associated Press.

The shipment of helium to Germany
is being delayed, Secretary of the In
terror Ickes has disclosed. Mr.. Ickes,
who has the last word on the sale
abroad of helium from United States
wells, said he has signed no contract
with the American Zeppelin Transport,
Inc. because he had found no formula
to guarantee against military use of
the gas.
Members of Mr.. Ickes' staff eX-
planned that changed political condi-
tions' in Europe had made it increas-
ingly difficult to draw up such a for
mula.
Mr.. Ickes' disclosure aroused specu-
lation, particularly since it had been
understood that arrangements had
been completed Informally for the
German company to buy about II, ,9OO,-
