By LITTLE HEISKELL

A heap of folks are squaWkin'
about the various government
tai programs including the CCC,
but personally I'm thankful that
Uncle Sam has dressed these
boys in brown shirts and armed
'em with picks and shoveis-its
much better than dressing 'em in
black and arming 'em with
rifles; seems strange that so
many politicians want to get on
the State Central Committee
when they're just as close to
getting State jobs as Hitler is
of taking the marriage vows;
the successful Democratic can
didate for Mayor in 1941 may
have former Judge Hicks as his
opponent - incidentally a for
mer State Senator has aspira-
tons to sit in the new city hall
they tell me; Mayor Sweeney
has passed the word along that
he's gonna take few of his hired
help out to the woodshed for a
good oId-fashioned spanking-it
seems they are listening to
bedtime stories from the wrong
story-teIIer; two and possibly
three Federal appointments (the
Postoffice Department. will be
made in Washington County in
the very near future; Thomas
w. Pangborn, the governors
personal representative in this
section of the State is meeting
a lot of job-seekers these days
but he isn't passing out letters
of recommendation in reckless
manner; with the salary upped

and Democrats won't find it diff

to ring door bells for the var
ious nominations already a

principal speakers, so may |
make the following brief sug-
gestion to the orators?-keep
your eyes open and don't let
the aroma of roses, the trickle
of clear, spring water, the blue
skies and the songs of feather
ed friends get you down boys
and above all, don't do any pre-
dictin'; the heighth of some
thing-or-other: A cigar store
proprietor, with thousands of
cigarettes in stock cumming a
fag from the Mayor; Wards One

On the Right Track

WE ARE beginning to believe that Washingtonans
w have found real friend in Senator Overton of
Louisiana His suggestion that the National Government
be for its share of local costs the
basis of Federal property ownership in the District of
Columbia sounds almost too good to be true 1t is
Daniel had to judgment in issue which, until
now has been complicated by controversy and confusion
Most of the ideas expressed with respect the of
the Federal contribution to the District have lacked all
Semblance of logic. It simply matter of opinion
Washingtonians looked at the nine and half million
dollars once contributed and back of that at the 6O4O
rule which formerly governed the fiscal
OO-0U run relationship between the national and
Dio~nrdod local governments, and protested in vain
over the five millions parceed out arbi-
trary in recent years congressional handout to the
District
There has been any scientific basis for Federal
contribution to the District Senator Overtons view that
there should be fixed formula to govern the contribu
ton year by year is sound 1t would end guesswork as
to what the National Government ought to pay giving
Congress yardsck by which to measure it.
Two things remain: To fix the formula, and to sell it
TO Congress After that only hope that Congress
will be honest in applying it.
That may be too much to wish for the New Year but
It is at least worth shooting at

of the Anti-Saloon League. This
was when the league sat on top
of the heap and I was instructed
to do whatever I could to knock
it off. I did my best and I have
no apologies to offer.
These SNUG Bible thumpers
hated me-and I hated them.
1t irked me even TO pass the
time of day with them-but I
failed to get them to keep their
hands off me. You couldn't ask
an ordinary question without
having an arm thrown over
your shoulder, a hand damply
gripped through the interview
or the frontal attack; the latter
consists of gripping right hand
with right while the left goes
round your neck-and stays
there.
The fact that the Anti-Saloon
League conventions were usually
held in warm weather and that
the majority of the big shots
thought the room-and-bath
waste of money didn't help any
in these close contacts.
ALL of these angry days-on
IA my part-came back yester-
day as watched the scene below
me on the floor of the Senate of
the United States. A man who
hates and always will hate an
other mans insides goes up to
that other, who is generally
known to consider the greeter
only in short and ugly words,
throws his arms around him
and hugs him like lost brother.
And the other hater, not to be
outdone, gives hug for hug.

Up and At 'Ena

With business picking up and
prosperity around the corner,
happy days are here again.
Poor college students can show
their stuff class will tell every
time Why, in the last six
months I have received two ad-
vancements, and two PROPOSE
tions are now kicking around
at my feet ready to be snatched
up. I had a job at $12 a week:
I was released so as to be able
to further myself in a job at
SO a week; now I am offered
two jobs at So and S., respec-
lively. This progress inspires
me with hope. TO show the
stuff am made Of, I am now
topping both Of these offers
and consenting to accept only
jobs without pay. giving my
services voluntarily to the COM
munity and to society.

I think he is afraid the immi-

with him. Maybe he swan

Windsor. Canada, and Detroit.
It is those who were smuggled
into this country who are not

anyone ignorant Of the fact,
living in Gods country not @

Best for Defense

Now that we are going to
build airplanes let us have the
best. President Roosevelt
should see that aircraft are built
for national defense and not to
efit manufacturers - as
seems to be the case with bat
tleships and armor plate.
In the last war many machin-
lists who build the planes flew
them and they were crude af-
fairs compared with planes Of
today.
All reports from fighting fliers
give Diesel oil engines the pref
erence over gasoline engines for
speed, cargo weight and cruising
range. So why not consider
DieselS?
Naval officers are highly
trained with such superior knowl-
edge they are all right to man
ships, but it takes experienced
machinists to go over the mass
Of aircraft inventions in the 36.-
900 inventions registered in the
U. S. Patent office this year and
decide which of them We should
adopt to bring our aircraft up
to the minute.

Split-squatting of females on the

The only parallel can think Of
is a greeting between lysipetali-
idae.
1 was reminded of the old saw
on the subject of manners and
general conduct which holds
that clothes bespeak the man.
Among those Senators properly
garbed in morning coats for
what should have been an i'm
presSive occasion there was little
or none of this hugging. True,
they submitted to the embraces
but they did not hug back and
they got out of the paws Of the
hugger as quickly and as grace
fully as they could.
I liked the pushing around of
old Cotton Ed" Smith of South
Carolina. Folks had done their
best to keep the ancient war
horse out of the Senate but he
had whipped them to a frazzle.
He wore a pepper-and-salt suit
and he did no paving whatso-
ever. He shook hands with his
friends and he ignored his en-
emies-unless they forced them
selves upon him. Returning
from taking the oath he gripped
McKellar of Tennessee by the
hand. That done, Majority
Leader Barkley at the next desk
held out his hand. For the space
of four seconds Cotton Ed looked
the Presidents handyman be-
tween the eyes. Then he shook.
DOB REYNOLDS of North
~ Carolina, the man who was
first elected to the Senate be-
cause, as he claimed, his sitting
opponent was fond of caviar,
posed, as usual, for the galleries
on the piece of impromptu stage
in front of the Democratic seats.
Bob also did as much paving
as anybody. Sherman Minton,
another deep thinker, who also
likes to strut around for the
benefit of the tourists, having
lost his own party-stage to Bob,
stepped over to the Republican
side and did his prancing there.
OF the newcomers liked best
Sheridan Downey of California.
He is a handsome man with
vivid personality. Looking at
him you say to yourself, There
goes a clever man."
He went through the cere-
monies as though he had his
tongue in his cheek. He had
talked the California electorate
into unseating the giraffe-faced
McAdoo on a sort-of-promise
of $50 a week for oldSters and
ham-and-eggs every morning for
the rest of us. Looking at Sheri-
dan yesterday I realized that it
was mostly gag-any means
to suit the end. Well get a lot
of good sense out of him from
now on to balance up the non
sense of his campaign.
THE best of all the little
L scenes that unfolded them
selves was that of Mrs. william
Howard Taft, widow of the for
mer President of the United
States, touching handkerchief
to her eyes as her tall son,
Robert, was sworn in as Senator
from Ohio. have no doubt she
was wishing that her husband
was sitting beside her.
Maybe he was. There are peo-
pie who so believe.
