chief comes out again in his Raid Scenes. A student stands be- fore a steel blackboard, and an instructor draws a chalk highway. places a few houses Quilt on mag nets to adhere to the steeD, puts an auto here, a traffic light there, and a generous growth of trees and bushes.
 The criminals are ambushed in one of the houses, and the prob- lem is to plan an efficient raid. How would you do it, MT. Jones?
 MT. Hoover, who is still some- thing of youthful enthusiast, is proud of his students and the way they meet his challenge. He thinks of them in terms of an inspirational poem which hangs on the wall of an FBI classroom: "The test of a man is the fight
 that he makes
 The grit that he daily shows, The way he stands on his feet
 and takes
 Fats numerous bumps and
 blows"
 If the cops from the hinterland meet that test, FBI University President Hoover passes out the diplomas with a hearty handclasp.
 His graduates are forming im- portant links between the Fed eral Government and local police and are an important reason for the tightening net being drawn around kidnapers and racketeers. For cooperation between federal forces and local authorities was sadly neglected before Hoover began his FBI schools.

 When a show bores him beyond his patience, he takes the easiest way out-if not the nearest exit He goes to sleep. blissfully repos- ing until it is all over, but unlike a short he once made, he does not snore. MT. Benchley, to this ob- servers eye, is one of the sound- est aisle-sleepers in the theater, There have been occasions, how ever, when even Benchley could not slumber through a palling scene.
 Such a night occurred some years ago when Benchley saw a show with an Oriental locale. In it a wench tranSposed the Eng fish language by referring to her. self as me Nubi, me good girl" :" some dozen times in as many min- utes. Benchley had enough of that d1 LtI d WIlllc.
 Calmly he rose from his seat and addressing his colleagues in a loud-enough tone for many to hear him, said, Me Benchley, me going home!" And he stalked out.
 But what I set out to relate was that Benchleys high humor and eXuberance seems to have struck back at him now in the guise of FrankenStein monster. Even the most light-hearted humorist has his meditative or melancholy mo- ments. And a smiling, beaming countenance sometimes changes to serious mien. Benchley's is no exception.
 I saw him at a restaurant the other night, dining with some friends and talking to them in what appeared to be the serious vein. Some folk came to an ad- joining table and one of them, es- pying Benchiey, broke out into a loud guffaw. He was asked to explain. Well" he said, every time see his face, I bust out laughing!"

 MAYOR INTO GARDENER
 Although Jimmy Walker may not appear so frequently in the news these days, he is no stranger around Manhattan. Visitors to the Clubs Versailles and Stork see the ex-Hizzoner and his wife the former Betty Compton, at prominent tables often enough to label them as steady customers. And the pail: get around to the theaters of which they always have been fans.
 The former mayor of New York is no less dapper than he was as the incumbent of City Hall; and his wife still is a feminine fashion plate, besides being one of New York's most successful florists.
 The Walkers live on a semi bucolic estate on Long Island and commute to the town and rumors from there are that Jimmy has become an expert gardener on his own grounds. Though he has re- tired from public, political life, the talk is that he may accept lucrative post at the Worlds Fair.

AS the negotiators prepared to
wrestle again with this question,
prospects for eventual agreement
were being improved somewhat by
an unmistakable pressure from the
rank and file OF both factions, mani
tested in a flood of resolutions and

Added to this, of course, is the in

discuss strike support. He said he
intended to double the strength of
the picket line"
| Pickets are marching in front of
employment agencies and railroad
stations in New York and Philadel-
phia, reports reaching here said.
The pickets carry signs warning
prospective workers that there is a
strike on in Washington.
The A. F. of l.. unions were gath
ering support from other labor
groups, particularly from the ranks
of the C. I. o. At meeting held
at the headquarters Of Local 781
last night it was announced that
United Federal Workers. c. I. O.
Government Workers Union, had
voted backing to the strikers and
would put its members in picket
lines.
The Industrial Union Council,
central group of local c. I. o. organi-
cations, likewise announced 1t was
backing the strikers. This action
followed the appearance Of John
Brophy, national director OF the
C. I. O., in the picket lines here
yesterday.
Hotels Say Only 904 Out.
The hotels meanwhile announced
that they were getting along very
we'll without the strikers. A state
ment issued by Osgood Roberts,
spokesman for the hotels, said: ,
Despite any reports to the con-
trary, all of the partially unionized
hotels who now have pickets at their
entrances are fully and efficiently
stated.
"A careful canvass of the II hotels
where walkouts occurred early
Wednesday morning revealed that Of
a total Of 1856 employees, only 9O4
have now failed to show up for work.
This means that almost 10 per cent
of the employees within the affected
hotels remained, including key de-
partment heads and their assistants.
within little more than 48
hours, it can be definitely said today
that the transition period is over in
all hotels. Employees from other
departments who volunteered for
services in the kitchen and dining
rooms have now gone back to their
regular duties. Staff rolls are COM
plete and business Is progressing
most satisfactorily.
"The availability of labor in WASH
ington, plus the influx OF the most
competent type of hotel employees
from the winter resorts whose sea-
sons are now drawing to a close
has made possible this 100 per cent
restaffing of our hotels"
Endorsement of the strike was
added by the c. I. o. Cafeteria
Union through its business agent,
Jack Mink, and by the Washington
League of Women Shoppers, which
mailed a report on the strike to its
members.
The strike resulted in changes
being made in speakers scheduled
to appear before the Model Senate
at the Continental Hotel last night.
Senator Thomas of Utah Cancelled
his appearance. In his place Rep
resentative Patrick Of Alabama ap-
peared.

Bowers 10 Report
To President Today
On Spanish Situation
Envoy Not to Return
If U. S. Recognizes
Fronco Regime

Claude G. Bowers, United States
Ambassador to Spain, planned to re-
port to President Roosevelt today
his views on the situation In that
war-torn country, and confer again
with Undersecretary Of State Sum-
ner Welles.
Mr.. Bowers, summoned home for
consultation as the administration
prepared to determine action toward
recognition of the Franco govern
ment, reported briefly to Mr.. Welles
yesterday.
The Ambassador declined to COM
ment on his views of the political
situation in Spain. 1t was learned,
however, that he will not return to
that country off1cially If the United
States recognizes the Nationalist
government Of Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco. He does plan a trip to
Madrid to collect his personal effects
but beyond that his plans for the
future are Uncertain, he said.
Mr.. Bowers has been outside Spain
for nearly three years. The civil war
caught him and other ambassadors
of big powers at a summer resort
near San Sebastian. They went
across the border into France and
stayed at st. Jean de Luz, where Mr.
Bowers remained until summoned
home. He arrived in New York
Thursday.
1t is not clear now whether the
United States has any diplomatic
relations with the new government
set up by Gen. Miaja irf Madrid. Mr.
Welles refused to tell newspapermen
whether relations existed or not
saying the situation was too intricate
for comment.
