~ JAMES Preston

There is a sequel tc the
White House ghost" story
about the mythical businessman
who supposedly told the Presi-
dent a business boom had been
nipped in the bud by Senate
refusal to grant him broad neu-
trality powers.
Furnishing the sequel is the
corps of government economists,
who endeavor to keep the PreSi-
dent, and others, posted on the
future business outlook.
Hardly had the White House
ghost announcement dried in
the headlines when the econ-
omists came forth with their
prediction that business will be
better this fall and winter.
That doesn't jibe with the crepe
hung on the business indiceS by
the White Houses "spookSman.'
In addition this ultra-opti-
mistic prediction of the econ
omic Seers embarrasses the
White House on another point.
The Washington hangerS-on re-
member that not so long ago
the White House viewed with
considerable alarm the threat OF
a late-summer European crisis.
The official viewers-With-alarm
argued that much broader pow
erS were needed for the White
House to deal with the expected
situation; that the problem
shouldn't be left in the hands
of Congress-.
Now, however, the economists
are making light of the alarm
ing situation" If they foresaW
any such serious crisis as was
seen by the administration big
wigs, their" business predictions
wouldn't be so optimistic.
If there was yer a time when
the political wisemen of Wash
ington were in agreement on a
question. it is now on the sub
ject of the CLIO. VS.. Vice-Presi-
dent Garner. All agree that the

That the political s~trateg:sts
are in agreement is unimport-

is that the event may lead to
many policy reforms in Wash

influence in CONGRESS. meaning
that Congressional groups who
still found it eypodicrt to fo!-

Then. too. the National Labor
Relations Board. which is about
to be investigated by a Congress
sional committee. is expected -
suffer a setback as a result. The

ment by E. K. Bowman, state
hail commissioner after a tour
of the principal crop areas.
Bowman said the heat damage
was not general, but that fields
in scattered areas had been en-
tirely burned out.
He classed this years hail
damage as Slight" to date,
adding that grasshopperS dam
aged crops over a large area in
the eastern wheat district. Early
estimates had set this years
wheat crop in the state at al
most the same as the 1888 bum
per harvest, but Bowman said
the crop will fall short of the
estimates.
