Kennedy has written friends
here that the next time he Jumps
he will land back In private
business, where O man may
know his enemies and get paid

Gated he could not be talked out
Of this determination. Perhaps
he has forgotten how Mr. RooSe-

Didn't Represent Business
DOPER'S going was unher-
IL aided and unsung among
New Deal altos and sopranos.
The business representative in
the Cabinet never really repre-
scented business, perhaps through
no fault Of his own. Business
men generally went to SEC,
Louis johnson, or others when
they wanted to take up some
thing. They had the feeling
Roper'S influence would not do
them much good.

ISADORA DUNCAN

My contact with the modern
dance dates from its creation
by ISadora Duncan. Many dane.
ers have tried to instruct me,
the usual result being to con-
firm my distruSt of their taste
in music and their belief in the
expressive range Of the dancers
vocabulary. Whether his chore-
ography is planned on vertical,
horizontal. or diagonal lines,
whether it incorporates the an
cient technic after the Russian
habit, or strikes out boldly with
freer movement and gesture. it
still lacks even that definiteneSs
Of expression which belongs to
fine music.
The better the music the more
subordinate the dance, so it Is
easy to explain why the mod
erns, like Miss Davis and Miss
Graham, have their music writ
ten to order, too often by must
clans of more ambition than
talent or schooling.
YVONNA GEORGI COMING
Still I like the dance pro-
vided the dancer retires before,
like Isadora Duncan. he be-
gins to bag at the knees. For
which reason ! look forward to
the appearances early in Janu-
airy of Yvonna Georgi, who was
Kreutzberg's first team mate.
She comes to the National The
ater under auspices Of the Wash
ington Thrift Shop, bringing
with her a ballet from Holland,
trained, presumably. in the
Mary Wigman school which
Miss Georgi represents.
The first performance any
where Of Isadore Freed's suite
of u Pastorales is scheduled
for the concert of the National
Symphony tomorrow. The COM
poser was trained under Ernest
Bloch and Vincent d'1ndy and
is now o member Of the Curtiss
Institute faculty in Phlladel-
phia.
The Soloist will be Lucille
Manners, whose appear ance,
scheduled q fortnight ago, wss
prevented by illness. DR.. Kin
dler has chosen the Schubert c
major symphony. No. Z. as the
lengthy work Of the program.
GORDON STRING QUARTET
Assisted by Emanuel Wish
now, violinist, the Gordon
String quartet will present
works of Johann Christian
Bach, Mozart, Brahms and
Loeffler tomorrow night in the
Library of Congress. The pro.
gram will commemorate the an
niverSary Of the death of An
tonic Stradivari, which occurred
December 10, 1887, when the
great violin maker was SO years
Of age.

Third Term Reasoning

GENERAL JOHNSON's amaz-
VI ing prophecy that Roosevelt
is working for a third term and
will get it, was accepted as based
on pretty sound reasoning by
the old bosses here-yet they
don't believe it.
Johnson's argument was that
FDR Is the SrnarteSt Of politi-
clans; he knows since November
8 he has not been leading the
country exactly the way 1t
wanted to 60: he will get in front
Of popular sentiment again and
breeze through.
This is not the way the politi-

or reelection. But some other
evidence lately has tended to
confirm the impression that the
White House will put forward
more bold intimations along this
line before or early in Congress.

project to house his papers at

Daily Short Story

'vately, Jeff got the distinct i'm.
preston that Janet had over-sold
him on love. He didn't come
right out and say it, but Janet
got the idea and it wounded her.
But she was tactful. She had
put up her share toward buying
her bed, and now she would lie in
it. But then Jeff bought a radio.
1t wasn't much of a radio. It
cost under $50. But to hear Jeff
rave about it you'd think it was
the Kohinoor diamond. He turned
it on the first thing in the morn
ing, and he turned it off only
when he had to, which was very
late at night.
She wouldn't have minded it if
he had played the nicer things,
such as operas, or listened to really
fine voices that had messages to
give the people on housing and
keeping the home beautiful and
things like that. But no. He liked
swing or baseball scores or descrip-
tlonS OF fights. Sometimes she
thought that he had bought the
radio just to spite her, to use as
method of avoiding her and es-
Gaping from her. One day she
told him so.
"And, furthermore" she told
him, Il hate that radio. For two
pins I would smash it UP so it
would never be any good again"
Two pins" jeff told her, and
his eyes were wild with blood lust.

By Charles McGuirk

'Hallerton has spent two days look
ing for her"
Well, that was shock! To be
called a thief! But then she
thought a little more clearly and
she realized that Jeff was hun
cry and lonely for her. He was
just using the radio theft charge
to scare her into coming home
again. All rightly. She would save
his face. She would return to
their apartment with the radio
and tell him scornfully that there
was his old radio and she hated
it more than ever. Then he would
take her in his arms and all would
be as before, only more so.
So that's what she did. She got
home about seven that night. He
was in the kitchenette, getting his
own supper, the darling. And she
walked in and put down the radio
and connected it. He heard her
and he came into the living room.
He was wearing an apron. He was
so lovable.
There's your old RADIO" she
Sneered. Il didn't steal it. I Just
wanted to teach you a lesson.
Now, I'm back"
"Yeh," Jeff said, glowering at
her, "but not to stay. You re-
turned all I wanted when you
brought the radio. Now you can
Scram."
Janet Is out in Reno now. She
expects her divorce any day.
The Washington times., 1938-11-15

'"is little enough to pay for a mur
der or suicide"
why, what do you mean, JEFF
ferSon Hallerton?" she demanded
I'm not meaning to tell you
anything" he muttered. I'm just
telling you. And you heard me.
You touch that radio and"
His fist pounded into his open
hand.
THE STOLEN RADIO
So she didn't touch the radio.
She just stared at it day after day
as her resolve to leave him flat
and forever crystalized. And tell.
ing him she was through with him
and she hated him. She was 60.
ing out the door when she noticed
the radio, and all at once it oc-
CURED to her that taking it with
her would hurt him. So she called
a taxi and had the man carry it
down to the cab, and she went up
to Rochester to visit an aunt.
The second day after her arri-
val she thought of the radio again,
so she set it up in her own room.
And the first thing she turned on
was news program.
Jefferson Hallerton," she heard,
has accused his wife, Janet, of
stealing his radio and he has
sworn out a warrant charging
petty larceny. Police are searching
for the beautiful young woman
who left Hallerton Friday night.

table with the mental observation
that she was a darned interesting
talker. And again she had slipped
out of his mind when early the
next morning, he got out of his
automobile at Crandall to whip
the stream for that big bass the
natives were always talking about,
who-whom-did he see? Right.
Janet.
Janet was so grateful! He took
the rod and he showed her how
to cast. He was good, too, because
he had learned when he was a
boy and he had a proper reverence
for the art. And she was so awed
at him.
He never had such a good time

T Owe is wonderful. And the

lerton couldn't and he was handed
all the arguments that start this
piece and he was asked all the
questions you've just been asked
He was argued that (at) and
asked the questions by Janet
Poor and Janet Poor was some
asker and he was some arguer
Oh, some arguer!
Up to the time Janet got inter,
ested enough in him to argue and
ask, Jeff hadn't thought that love
was such great shakes. Oh, he'd
seen it work. He had seen it do
some pretty wonderful and some
pretty awful things.
JUST A COUNTRY BOY
Up to the time Janet got into
the habit of bringing the subject
up, jeff was one of those people
who could take love or let it alone.
Well, he thought he could take it
and he knew he could let it alone
because he had been letting it
alone for the first 42 years of his
life.
Yes, sir. Give Jeff his choice
between a sizzling hot love affair
and a chance to land a bass in
the Haley River and Jeff would
take the bass. Without any hesi.
tation whatsoever. He thought he
was having just that choice when
Janet descended on him. They
met at Pierce Point in mid-June
But he had no more chance than
. rabbit facing a snake. He
thought he'd take bass. What he
took was love.
Jeff'S whole trouble was that
he was natural country boy, al
though he had been born and
brought up in the city. He should
have been a farmer and he was a
stock brokers' clerk in Wall
Street. He was long and lean
and not handsome.
Janet? Janet was pretty,
blonde, persuasive and a little
hard to please. Get her to con-
fiding and she'd tell you that she
could have had her pick of men
only she was too particular. And
she'd be telling the truth, too.
Being too particular had brought
her up to 80 still unattached and
by the time she set out for Pierce
Point on her vacation she was
about ready to do something
about it. The victim turned out
to be Jeff.

THOSE READJUSTMENTS

This is the time to think, to
look at the other loved one and
remember that, after all, he-she
is just another human being.

readjustment.

lin his life. He stood out there in
the water and made some beauti-
full casts. Even the fish thought so
for he caught five, two of them
four AS he waded in
with the bass still floundering in
the creel, he somehow got the
idea that Janet was lucky for
him.
Well, that's about all there was
to their courtship. Certainly, that
was all that was important.
JUST ONE ANSWER
1t was in between that wonder
full exhibition of casting by Jeff
and the day that she became
Mrs. Janet Hallerton that she
gave him all those arguments and
asked him all those questions.
And the only answer to them was
the wedding.
There is nothing especially new
in any couple figuring out that
their marriage isn't doing very
well after the first year and a
half. That is one of the danger
GUS milestones of marriage. An
other is two years. Another is
three. Another is four. And so
on. Oh, and so is the first year.
Sordid things, sometimes, chick
adees. Bills, or the lousy coffee
that the little loved one makes, Or
the big loved ones habit of get
ting lit on four drinks and max
ing an ass of himself.
This is not time to think about
going home to mother and telling
her what a brute the big loved
one is. Or of looking over a glass
of straight whiskey and saying to
yourself, What a sucker I was.
Well, I won't be any more. To
hell with it. Bartender, give us
another drink" No, no, no.

ART OF FISHING

Jeff never could tell how Janet
got to be SO important in his life.
He met her the first time on the
hotel veranda. He thought she
was a pretty nice looking number
and he let it go at that. The next
day when he looked up at the
table in the hotel dining-room
and there was Janet.
That day he got up from the
