And at the very moment of his
announcement in Hyde Park,
FDR was reminded that neigh
boring Poughkeepsie still dumps
its raw sewage into the Hudson
a half mile from the point where
it draws its drinking water
this despite a 25-year campaign
by good neighbor FDR of Hyde
Park. to persuade Poughkeepsie
to build a sewage disposal plant
and help keep the Hudson clean.
The army isn't complaining
about FDR's business in mat
ters Of appropriations and
formal attention, but it has
a stepchild feeling when it
observes the paternal affection
with which FDR considers
the Navy. Bluntly, the Navy is
the apple of FDR's eye and
the Army, like a sensitive STEP
child, feels the discrimination.
With the eager enthusiasm
with which FDR discusses any
topic that touches on Americas
sea history, the President the
other day told a small group
of friends of the official and
historical success of the Admin
istration in editing and print

Salmon return from the ocean

aquaria on wheels, great water
tanks mounted on truck chassis,
will transport the spawn-laden
salmon to new breeding places
in tributaries of the Columbia
between Grand Coulee and the
sea. Water in the tanks will be
chilled to hold it at river tenn

healthy arrival of the fish at

ROOSEVELT RETURNS TO WRINKLE
BROW OVER PROBLEMS OF BUDGET
Purge Calls

President ROOSevelt's ef-
forts to drive conservatives
out of the Democratic party
has caused a major change in
campaign strategy.
Where in past national
elections flying squadrOns of
speakers toured the nation

there will be very few "in-

sons into States where they
do not vote.
Already Senators Pat Har-
risOn 3D. of Mississippi and

Consistent Word Excitement

T AM ALWAYS impressed with the word
L excitement with which our leading chroniclers
Of cinema vagaries treat the nevergrow-ups Of
Hollywood. Miss Louella Parsons, who leads the
field in the accuracy and priority of her revela-
tions, almost manages to induce spine tngle
by the mere mention that a certain Daryl
Zanuck may induce a certain Miss Shirley
Temple to essay the arduous role of Little Miss
Muffet in which the tuffet will be completely
in technicolor, and that a certain Mr.. Jack
Warner may yet immortalize a certain George
Washington if he can borrow a certain Mr..
Tyrone Power I have, at various times,
endeavored to cover the Hollywood scene and
wobbled woefully, yet day in and day out Miss
Parsons and her estimable confreres, who include
Jimmie Fidler and Sidney Skolsky, Jimmy Starr
and Harrison Carroll keep the columnar cauldron
aboil, and if you believe for one fleeting second
that Hollywood emanationS are just so much
iejune ephemera, then I guess you haven't

7 WOULD NOT go so far as to state that If
Mr.. Neville Chamberlain and Mr.. Robert
Taylor were to make simultaneous appearance
at let us say, the Broadway Automat, that the
British statesman would be ignored while the
crowd thronged about the star, but would have
said that safely half dozen weeks ago. 1t is
quite probable, too, that Mr.. Franklin D. Roose-
velt and Mr.. William Allen White and Mr..
Herbert Bayard Swope would much prefer to
read about Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Hitler and
Mr.. Daladier, but my secretary and my mother

Doctors of Golf
MY TWO FAVORTTE golf pros are Alec Morr
NA son and Ross Sobel. Each has endeavored
to reduce my average score below the diStaSteful
century mark and neither has succeeded, chiefly
because I am very honest scorekeeper. And
when I take four puts to cover perhaps six feet
to the little cup, am of that stalwart, upright
type who admits it, both to my caddy and to my
opponent. Nevertheless, Messrs. Morrison and
Sobel have accomplished wonders with distin-
guished gentlemen, and it is sufficient to say
that some of our golfing champions, before an
important tournament, usually call in one or the
other to guide them and correct few flaws.
MORRISON is the philosopher type. He is not
NA content to advise you to swing your body
this way and hold your club that way-no
indeed. He has something to say about your
mental reaction-a little discourse on Schopen-
hauer, who did not play golf, and on Sir James
Barrie, who did. He is convinced that Schopen-
hauer's extreme rnorbidity and cynicism were
directly attributable to his indifference to the
great pasture pastime. Barries wistfulness and
honey intimacy were the results Of nice, steady
game on the links. You always feel refreshed
and kindly disposed to all the world after
