FARLEY SLIPPING

Interior Department is chortlin9 these days The hired hands there credit their chief with out-guessing James A. Farley, the super-super political guesser who called the turn in 1886 right down z Maine and Vermont. The interior story has it that Farley advised the Presi- dent that the Kelly Nash organi- zation had the Illinois primary in the bag" Interiors Harold Ickes, however, told the President to put his ickels on the organization Of Governor Horner to win Homer won.
 A big moment in the life of a Senator is when he can have his secretary bring to the floor Of the Senate a huge stack of letters for him to sign in the presence of other Senators and an admiring gallery. A secretary puts the stack of letters before him and as the Senator signs each one, he pulls 1t off to expose a new one.
 Senator Vandenberg of Michi- gan does 1t occasionally, but our favorite letter-signer- public is McKellar of Tennessee. He signs Kenneth McKellar" in great sweep ing two-inch up and down strokes that spread the name over half a page. It is truly magnificent. PRESS ADVENTURE
