bers of the weasel family it has
short, compressed claws which are

Largest Wooden Mill

The largest homespun wooden in
aastry in the world-the Biltmore
Homespun shop-is located in Ashe-
vile, N. c. Originated in 1901 by
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt to fur
nish employment for a few noun
tain people in her neighborhood
it has grown steadily ever since,
employing at present around 60 peo-
pie. After the industry became
well-established, Mrs. Vanderbilt
sold it and the shops were moved
to the Grove Park Inn estate on
the outskirts of Asheville.
Most of the raw wool used comes
from Australia, Wales, Scotland,
and the Shetland islands. It is first
dyed, then dried by natural air, no
artificial heat being used. The col
ors are mixed, fibers broken up,
wool re-oiled and then run through
carding machines onto spinning
frames. Power-driven machines are
used for these processes and for set
ting up the warp on the loom, but
the actual weaving is done entirely
by hand on hand looms. Two
types of weaving are done, plain
and diagonal. Viewers are paid
by the yard, the average Individual
being able to weave from IL to is
yards a day. The material, which
is sold retail, is obtainable only at
the plant.

Opposes Speculation
About Third Term.
To the Editor of The Star


One of the most distressing phenomena
OF the times is the constant reference by
newspapers to the possibility Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt running for third term.
This third-term talk appears to have
become a fxation with news writer's.
Either it is an outright obsession or it
indicates a paucity Of current topics for
intelligent discussion.
Any mature person knows well that
all such references are sheer nonsense.
1t is more than year before the Demo-
Gratis convene for the nomination of q
candidate. One year in politics is
equivalent to century in ordinary life.
Six months in politics is long time. In
one month, politically speaking, almost
anything could happen.
Does any one believe President Roose-
welt today is going to renounce his can
didacy for third term? BY doing so
would he not lose the last vestiges of
control he now holds over the do-nothing
Congress? fully realize you don't con-
troll the opinions Of your columnists, but
this writer apd dozens of his acquaint-
ances would appreciate less mention of
this nonsensical subject at this time.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The announcement of another lend

efforts to promote recovery. merely pro-
claims the bankruptcy of New Deal lead
ership in the economic field.
The great need of the country is pro-
ductive investments, to increase the ma :
tional income and provide permanent
jobs. The administration present plan
is just another pump printing scheme.
and. like most OF such efforts in the past.
it would provide only temporary jobs
and limited or no investments for pro-
duction.
Another thing: In times of financial
stress, individuals or private corpora
tions do not, as rule, spend their money
for things which are not absolutely es-
sential and which they cannot afford to
have. But the New Deal has been spend
ing huge sums Of money for things
which are not only unproductive when
completed, but which are not really
needed and which the country can Ill
afford in its present economic condition

Another Kinofish?

Not since the days when that old
medicine man, Huey Pierce Long,
self-styled The Kinghsh, waved his
arms and bobbed his tousled head in
soap-box debate has Louisiana
basked in the spotlight Of Nation
wide curiosity such as is now TO-
cused on the Bayou State and it's
eccentric political potentialities.
In many ways, in fact, the fan
tastic half-told story of today with
Its disappearing college presidents,
embezzled funds and relief "irreeu-
larities" has more elements of enter
tainment for non-Louisianans than
did the straightaway swashbuckling
OF the late Huey.
For the medicine man moved in
the open, pulled all his strings in
public view and left very little air
OF mystery about his magnanimous
intention to make every man
king" and to make Huey Long the
ace. But today nobody knows just
what the second Long contemplates
or even what are his full capabili-
ties, just as nobody seems to know
the whereabouts of DR.. James Mon
roe Smith, Louisiana State University
president, or why Governor Leches
health collapsed so suddenly
1t would be interesting indeed If
the new Governor Long really meant
1t when he said that the answers
will be written In fully legible print,
"let the chips fall where they may"
Actually. of course, the whole epi-
sode has its serious implications, not
only for the citizens OF Louisiana but
for all those who feel proper con-
Germ when the democratic form OF
government which we cherish so
highly suddenly turns grotesque and
lncongruous. Many of those would,
In fact, accord Governor Long greater
tribute Ii he would strive for a new
orderliness in Louisiana politics and
let pass the objective of conferrinp
universal kingly status.

Who Is to Blame?

II the National Capital aWakenS
tomorrow on new fiscal year with
no authority to meet expenditures
for ordinary functions of city gov
ernment the House of Representa-
tives cannot escape responsibility for
the situation.
No reasonable person, either in
Washington or elsewhere in the
United States, will blame the Senate
when they know that that branch Of
Congress has offered to meet the
House half way on the main issue
holding up the District appropriation
bill-the Federal payment-only to
be told it must be the House figure
or nothing.
The House is insisting on $5000,000
as the Federal share. The Senate has
voted unanimously for $7750,000 for
the coming year and for perma-
nent, scientific formula that would
call for about SSOOO,OOO at the pres
ent time.
AS Senator Overton of Louisiana
very properly pointed out yesterday,
the House and Senate are coordinate
branches of Congress, neither of
which should impose it's will COM
pletely on the other. Yet, what is
the situation today, with existing ap-
preparations expiring at midnight?
After days of deliberation the
House conferees have made no offer
of even the most meager compromise,
so far as the public knows. The SEN
ate group, on the other hand, has
offered to come half way toward the
House figure by agreeing to COM
promise on $6,50O000. And in doing
this it abandons the scientific,
equitable yardstick of the Overton
blan, under which the Federal obli-
cation would bear a direct relation
to the area of land in the city re-
uuired for national purposes from
year to year.
Even if the House accepted the
senate's compromise offer the linn
tied area of taxable property and the
few hundred thousand Americans
who live in Washington still would
be meeting eighty-four per cent of
the expenses of the Nations Capital.
But, aside from the question of
taking step toward faGer appor-
tionment OF the cost between Nation
and local community, the impending
deadlock involves more important
issue, one that is fundamental,
namely, that which affirms or denies
the right of the Senate to have some
voice in expressing the will of
Congress.
Do the party leaders in the House
and Senate want the word to go out
10 the country tomorrow that the
Congress, while retaining absolute
authority over the Capital, is in
capable of legislating for it, because
one branch insists on controlling the
other?
There is still time for the House
to avoid such a situation today,
before the fiscal year ends.
