Major Political Event

DETURN OF Representative
~ Hatton Summers to Wash
ington was not only the anti
monopoly incident it appears to
be, but a major political event.
Inside on it is, Summers was
permitted to understand when
he took the anti-minopoly job
that something would be done for
him in his close primary fight.
He did not want the investigat-
ing post, but the administration
insisted that he take it in order
to keep off a New York Con-
gresham who was eagerly pro-
noting himself for it.
Now, Summers had made the
greatest of all speeches against
the court-packing plan and did
not like the reorganization bill.
Furthermore, his primary oppo-
nent, Tom Love, was running on
a New Deal platform. But few
days back the White House de-
livered. It wired Summers ask
ing him to return Immediately.
All Summers had to say to the
audiences back home was:
Sorry. folks, but the President
says he needs me in Washing
ton," which seemed to fit the
situation neatly and completely.

U. OF ND. PLANS RECOVERY PLEA
FOREIGN" BAN QUOTES HERALD

COLLEGE PARK, Md, July 2.
The University of Maryland may
be partly closed to out-of-State
students next year. Registrar Off
cials declare the number of ad-
vance registrations indicate a
total enrolment greater than the
university can carry, and that
students from outside of Mary
land will probably be barred after
a certain quota had been reached.
1t was stated, however, that
the restrictions would not apply
to Washingtonians Or to out-of-
State students who previously
have attended the school.
Last year enrolment at Mary
land reached a peak of 2,702.
The coming year probably will
exceed 5000 registrations. Uni
versity authorities stated today
that until the $2,5OO,0OO building
program on the campus is COM
pleted the college will be unable
to carry that many.

Peril in Little Bus Windows

TTHERE is another thing I simply cannot figure
l. out Of course, you can't blame Washington
for this, but why in heavens name do the great
overland buses have the little rat-trap windows
and also have these windows barred? When they
go into ditch or have an accident OF any kind
there isn't soul in those buSses who would have
chance of crawling out of those windows. Every
time see one of them rush by me it gives me
the creeps and think of the lives that perhaps
have been uselesSly lost through being unable to
break the window quickly and crawl out
I think the circulation and spending of a
huge sum of money is a great thing. AS for say
ing that our children or their children will have
to pay off the debt, that may be a good thing for
them think great sums of money ruin more
young people than any one thing know of. Re-
member, if you have to get out and work, you
don't have time to get into mischief and good,
honest work has never hurt anybody yet
The thing to watch carefully now is to see that
this money is spent wisely and well FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE and not for beautify-
ing the city or other unnecessary extravagances
at this time. The people earned this money
They are the backbone of this country and they,

British Get Cream

British Get Cream
ONE significant point that the wayfarer notices
" about South America is the quiet penetration
of the British.
If the Washington diplomats" are supposedly
as "het up" over foreign economic penetration
into South America as they make out they are,
then why is it we hear nothing of John Bulls
sons tapping up the commercial cream?
When you offer taxi driver in almost any
South American city four quarters in American
silver they spurn you and ask for an American

They do not want United States silver

picturesque scene. The wayfarer stood and
snapped the shutter of the camera.
The native woman looked up. With a shrill
cry, she rushed forward to the car. PAY me
for de picture, lady! Pay me for de picture!"
She was offered cents. In disgust, the native
woman spat. Oats no good to me. don't want
cents. I want quarter" The quarter was
forthcoming. "An de odder lady?" cried the
voice, bony finger extended accusingly "she

The second quarter was refused. The car moved
