WaShingtOn'S Side-line ObSer-
verS are hoping that they have
detected a note of forthcoming
government OvertureS' toward
business in ans'Aer to the coop
erative plan recently advanced
by business leaders at the De-
cember session of the Congress
of American Industry.
The new tune is being played
now only behind the closed in
ner-chamber doors of Washing
ton. II all the inner-chamber
participants can aoree on the
new idea. the result may be
simply this:
Government will give it least
part of the business recovery
formula a trv. Namely, it will
cooperate with business in a
planned program to get indus
trial wheels turning again and
thus take men off relief rolls
and put them on pay rolls.
The idea is being studied
carefully in the Department of
Commerce. If it is finally ap-
proved, that agency probably
will act as governments repre-
sentative in the joint program.
If any opposition arises to the
plan it will have to come from
some source other than bust
nessmen or Congress, for bust
ness has for many months advo=
Gated a cooperative ~rogram for
recovery and the new Congress
seems to be thinking along the
same line.
Several factors will, of course,
play important roles in the fate
of the budding program. One is
taxation. Another is Federal
control of business activities.
Observers say that if these two
matters can be adjusted (taX-
es stabilized to permit industrial
planning and Federal control
minimiZed to boost cOnfidence)
the program will be we'll on its
way toward success.
It all boils down to this in
the thinking of the unofficial
Washington pot watchers: bus
mess will be expected to give
jobs; government, in turn, must
not take too much in taxation
because monev that goes for
taxes can't go into a nay enve-
lope at the same time. Business
will be expected to expand and
create new jobs; government,
then will have to ease up on its
regulation of business so invest
ors will be willing to finance the
expansion.
It is an ambitious program,
old timers around the Capital
say, but one that will 60 a great
deal further toward recovery
than relief and pump printing.
Spending, too, will be a factor
in the final outcome of the
scheme, for taxes and spending
are synonymous for this purpose,
And it is here that the observers
believe thev have detected a
note threatening the one of CO.
operation.
Pressure is still on Congress
they find, for continuing the
spending. It is beino applied
from many directions t h E
strongest pressure coming from
organizers of unions for relief
workers and from advocates OF
the idea that America can spend
its way out of debt.
If this pressure is made to
prevail then more taxes will be
inevitable, and in more taxes
the proponents of the industrial
unemployment idea see certain
defeat for their plans.

the police call box under the street light.

down the quiet street, punctuating the long

Matthew Rainey paused to rattle the
handle of the locked door of the corner drug
store with unnecessary vigor. What would an

what would police force be without its ex-

Angrily he twirled his night stick in intricate

After the picnic supper was over,
the knave of Hearts said, "Now it is
time for Danny and Tommy Tucker
to keep their promise and sing for
u.s.
Danny and Tommy arose and sang.
Soon Emerald joined them and they
sang so well that many people gath
cred around.
While Emerald and Danny and
Tommy Tucker were still singing, a
parade approached. First came the
Color Guard bearing the flags of the
Land of Nod and of Sleepytown, then
a brass band, followed by the Royal
Guard in all their cleaning splendor,
Next came a royal coach drawn by six
shining black horses and behind that
marched the Regimental Band.
The singing and clapping and laugh
ing stopped as the Royal Parade
drew near. They halted, the footman
opened the door of the coach, and out
stepped Old King Cole, the Merry
Old Soul.
A special grandstand had been built
for the King, and after he was seated,
surrounded by the Royal Guard, he
commanded his three famous fddlers
to play their fiddles while Danny and
Emerald and Tommy Tucker sang.
The King was pleased and the spec
tators enjoyed the performance.
Suddenly the King stood up and
pointed in the direction of the wall
surrounding the Fair Ground. Again
everything was quiet and all looked
where the King was pointing.
Ten of the Kings men jumped on
ten horses and tore off at a gallon.
Danny wondered what all the COM
motion was about, until he saw
Humpty Dumpty, standing on the
vail, ready to jump.
Danny held his breath In fright,
for he knew that If HuInpty Dumpty
fell off that wall, all the Kings horses
and all the Kings men could not put
Humpty Dumpty together again.
