All of these are men who had helped make the Justice Depart ment, rather belatedly. one of the strongest in the Administration. Their prospective departure is due to various causes, among them the fact that many things have begged down under Murphy.
 It is difficult to get decisions out of the chief. Cases pile up on the Attorney Generals desk and don't move. He is out horse back riding or Investigating judges. It is even difficult for his aides to see Murphy.
 Word that Thurman Arnold may resign has been received with unmitigated joy by big business. His actual departure is not def mite, and depends upon whether he gets continued support for his present program.
 Brien McMahon and Gordon Dean will definitely retire and set up a law firm together. Bob Jackson will go back to his home in Jamestown, N. Ys unless Roosevelt has bigger things in store for him.

 "Never mind," smiled Signor Cosmelli of the Italian En- bassy, they'll be yours sOon." SOCIAL CALL
 For a social call," as it was announced, Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago did lot of political talk ing during his visit with the pres ident.
 Kelly told Roosevelt he was the Democrats best bet in 1940, and that he should run again, a1ti- third term tradition or no. None of the other prominently men, toned candidates, Kelly declared, could carry the party to victory.
 "The country still is strong fO- you, MT. President" Kelly argued. "The people believe in you and they will vote for you. Further, you are the only man who can solidify Democratic strength. None of the others can. If any other man is nom- mated there will be big splits of support and that wild be the end. You are the only one who can win and you've got to run again."
 Roosevelt listened to the newly reelected Midwest boss with keen interest, but made no comment. ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
