CAPITAL MAY GET
HISTORIC VESSELS
Permanent Exhibit Plans
Given Impetus by Words
of Roosevelt.

Proposals considered some time ago
by the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to bring to
Washington some OF the Nays most
historical vessels for permanent ex-
hibit received a stimulus today after
the Associated Press. in q dispatch
from Charleston, S. c., quoted Presi-
dent Roosevelt as saying he is in
terested In such project. If realized
the ships probably would be moored in
the Georgetown Channel, in the
vicinity Of the Titanic Memorial.
Although the dispatch cited the
Tidal Basin as the suggested site for
the historic vessels, authorities here
said that location was impractical
under present conditions. They pointed
out that the waters Of the Tidal Basin
are not deep enough to accommodate
sizeable vessels and. in any event, the
inlet and outlet gates could not func-
ton for this purpose. The gates, they
explained, are not swinging gates and
would not be wide enough to permit
the entry of vessel OF any size, if
they were.
President Roosevelt was quoted as
mentioning in particular the Consti-
tuition and Constellation, as we'll as the
Hartford, Admiral F,arragut's flagship
at the battle Of Mobile Bay. The

Charleston Navy Yard, where the

youngster of only 20, he grinned
at the family pill roller who
thumped his thin chest, peered at his
tongue and gave the scrawny, spindly
patient only six months to live-pro-
vided, of course. that he didn't over
exert himself or get too excited about
the state of his health.
Now, so years later, he prescribes
old-fashioned remedies for the state

lows against the orders Of q President.
He has transformed the hitherto
anemic post Of Vice President into
an office fully as influential. perhaps
more so. than that at the more ma

To put it tritely but succinctly-

the direction it will take after eight
years Of New Deal divergence. In
deed, it is no exaggeration to suggest
that the shrewd. Snowy-h haired Texan
with the shaggy eyebrows has stamped
his rough. rugged personality upon
the Nation almost as impressively as
Mr.. Roosevelt himself
Unwelcomed at First.
His metamorphosls is all the more
amazing in view of the Nationwide
reaction to his nomination as Mr.
Roosevelt's running mate less than six
years ago. He had been William RAN
dolph Hearst's entry, for one thing.
Even Roosevelt voters referred to the
second man on the ticket as that aw-
full fellow Garner" There were shud-
ders at the thought that only a heart
beat stood between him and the presi-
dency-at the realization that this
slangy, unpublished plainsman might
be summoned to the highest office in
the land.

who has watched him since he en-

FORD WINS ORDER
AGAINST MI. R. B.
Circuit Court Forbids Board
to Withdraw Records of
Dismissal Case.
BY the Assoeiated Press.

COVINGTON, KY, May s.-The
Ford Motor Co. won in United States
Circuit Court today an amended, order
forbidding the National Labor Rela-
tions Board from withdrawing records
Of its case against the company.
The effect Of the decision, said Chief
Ford Counsel Frederick H. Wood of
New York, would be to prevent the
Labor Board from vacating its order
of last December % and would permit
hearing of the case before the court.
Mr.. Wood asserted in oral arguments
preceding the courts action that it was
perfectly obvious" that the board, if
permitted to withdraw its record of
the case, did not intend to give full
and free hearing" Of the case prior to
an announced intention Of producing
new findings.
Mr.. Wood had telegraphed the board
that he would seek this decision pend
ing application to the Supreme Court
diction for relief from the said order
and pending decision upon any such
application"
The company seeks to keep the rec
ord of the hearing in the court for
a review Of constitutionality of the
boards procedure It contends that
it did not receive full and fair op-
portunity to contest the findings upon
which the board ordered reinstate-
ment of 20 Michigan workers alleged
ly discharged for union activity and
cessation of other alleged anti-union
practices.
However, the board has not with
drawn the record from the court.
because, informed sources declared, it
should be available if the case goes
to the Supreme Court and the justices
wish to read it.

He doesn't feel that all the excite

1t must be remembered that, as
a banker, real estate dealer and agri-

worth a million dollars, and has per-

in the capitalistic system. He does not

him TO buy new suit, preferring the
familiar, rumpied. shiny blue outfit.
His soft, silky hair is rarely combed

But the twinkle in his blue eyes and
