shall we say. "platonic friends :
The type of persifiage which otter
opens a conference is well illustrated
by this excerpt from the conference
of October II. 1888:
Reporter-Good morning. Mr.. Presi.
dent.
The President - Good morning
Exhibiting saber)
Question-Are you going to cut of,
a few heads this morning?
The PRESIDENTIAL least | am pro.
tected. Charlie (Mr. Hurd. CORE.
spondent, you have to be good this
morning. You watch your questions
| carefully
Question-Mr President hadn't YOU
better turn that in to the Treasury:
Question-1s that all gold. Mr.. Presi-
dent?
The President-I think it is.
| Reporter-It would be worth more
| if gold is devalued. Laughter
Mr.. Donaldson superintendent
House Press Gallery who aids in

| LaughterD
The President-I haven't thought
about them since you asked the ques-
ton.
Later In the same conference:
Question-Have you issued any
orders affecting the salaries OF those
in the motion picture industry?
The President-I haven't issued any
orders in regard to the movie code.
one way or the other.
Question-Have you advanced any
ideas along that line?
The President-The only time I
have mentioned the movie code in any
shape, manner or form was to ask
that the deputy administrator look
into and consider the size of earnings
of hate to be impolite-immature
persons who. perhaps, are making
more money than is reasonable in good
conscience, and at the same thing in
relation to-what do they call them?-
producers or directors who are making
about four or five or six or eight times
the salary Of the President of the
United StateS-to consider whether it
is considerable.
Question-How about Mickey Mouse !?
Lauehter.D
The President-I don't know any of
the facts in the case The only things
that came to me were rumors, and I
asked that the rumors be looked into.
Discussion Of Relief.
In the conference of November 3,
1888, the President discussed relief
and unemployment and revealed some
details of what was later to become
the w. P. A. program, as follows:
Question: am little stupid.
How do you take those two and a half
million off the TelieD rolls? That is
what don't get.
The Presidential me give you
very simple example: Suppose you
have been out of work for a long time
and have to have relief. and suppose
you are a $5-a-day man with some
kind of trade. You have to 60 and
apply for relief. You are out of a
job-your family starving. They
say: "All right. go over there to that
particular park where We are trying
to clean up by putting in new side
walks and fixing it up. We will give
you two days week work and pay

Labor Bargaining Principle.
In the conference of June Is, 1894,
Mr.. Roosevelt was questioned about
the collective bargaining principle in
labor legislation. He said at one
point:
This might just as well be made
absolutely clear once and for ALL
About 100000 900 people out of l25.-
100000 understand plain English.
There seems to be very, very small
! minority that does not understand
plain English. Section IA says that
the workers can choose representa-
tives. Now if they want to choose
the Ahkoond of Swat, they have a
perfect right to do So If they want
to choose the Royal Geographic So
ciety. they can do that. If they want
to choose union. of any kind. they
can do that. They have free choice
of representation and that means not
merely an individual or a worker, but
it means corporation or a union or
anybody -"
| Question-SuppoSe they do choose
the National Geogra phic Society. then
do the employers have to trade with
| them?
The Observation-Disclosures
An excerpt from the first confer
ence after invalidation of the N. r. A.
| codes:
Question-Have you talked to any,
one concerning congressional action
| to limit the power of the Supreme
Court. as can be done under the Con-
situation?
Many Suggestions Received.
The President-No. Oh. l have
| had-this is the batch since 9 o'clock
this morning-but suppose that we
have had about so different sugges-
tions. They 60 all the way from
abolishing the Supreme Court to abol-
ishing the Congress and I think
abolishing the President. That is, so
as to make it complete
This is an excerpt from the con-
! ference Of July 81. 1885, when the
President discussed tax evasion and
avoidance:
The President. 1t appears that
the So thriftiest people in the United
States 0aughter)-the So thriftiest
people in the United States-and OF
| course we are all in favor of thrift.
the thriftier you are the nearer you
will come to being included among
the 58-in 1882 they were all 50
thrifty that although they had a mil
lion dollars income q year or more,
they paid no tax whatever to the
Federal government on 81 per cent Of
their net incomes.
Question-Is that individually or as
an average?
The President-The aggregate of the
So. On 81 per cent OF their net incomes
they escaped taxation altogether,
largely because the investments were
in municipal or State or Government
tsx-exempt bonds.
Question-Will this bill get at the
family trust point?
Family Trust Business,
The President-No. not at the family
trust business. 1t does not touch that
except that it does increase the sur.
taxes.
Question-Wont that tend to in
increase the number OF such trusts?

 Miss Joyce will be strong 'wo- man element in the story, but her opposite has not as yet been named. Dawn is returning to Los Angeles in about two weeks to complete plans for beginning filming on Taku River early in May-but one more urgent thing calls MT. Dawn back to California.
 T received a wire that my house on the beach had five feet of water in the basement in the flood" Dawn sighed "I'll have to go back and fix that up"
 MT, Webster will stay here and handle arrangements from this end while MT, Dawn is south His wife, Patsy Lee, of radio lights, will join him here shortly.
 Mr Dawn will not predict suc- cess for his picture yet. He says he will take some pictures in Juneau where the old prospector gets rolled for his poke. and many scenic shots in the Juneau area.
 But if the two cub bears cut as many clownish figures in Golden River" as they did in Tundra" then Juneau is on the map.

MAIL BANDITS KILL
TWO, TAKE $25,0()0|
Police Chief Wounded as 3
Masked Robbers Loot
Kentucky Depot.
By the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 6.-Rudy
Evans, 36, was shot to death by one
of three masked bandits 18 miles north
of here last night five hours after three
men had killed post Office messenger,
wounded Police Chief c. NJ Sherrod,
escaped with $4,000 at Guthrie, KY,
on the Kentucky-T Tennessee line.
Evans was visiting his father. Will
liam Evans, proprietor of combina-
ton store and filling station.
Officers said descriptions of the men
were similar to those of the Guthrie
robbers, and added there was evidence
they had not intended to rob Evans
place.
Accounts Of the affair by witnesses,
the officers said, led them to believe
that the fatal shot was fired when
the gunman feared he had been recog-
nized and believed the younger Evans
was reaching for a gun
Ostensibly, the officers said, the men
stopped at the store to purchase to-
bacco. When Evans turned to make
change, the armed man drew a gun
and when the former ducked, the
bandit fired.
Only two men entered the store.
A third stayed in an automobile out
side. All three fled after Evans had
been shot.
Police meanwhile kept sharp vigil
along the Kentucky Tennessee border
for this trio.
Felled by bullet through the head
as ne reached for his pistol, the COL
ored messenger, Arthur Mimms, g.,
died IN Clarksville, Tenn, hospital
a lew hours after the bold robbery had
startled this town of 1900 late yes
terday.
Sherrod, shot in both legs, was re-
covering today.
