The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-10

One offer he is considering would make him czar of profess sional football, a job similar to that held by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis in baseball, at a reputed salary of $75,0o0 year. Another bid is from the Willys- Overland auto company.
 Prominently mentioned in in- ner circles as Jim's successor in the Cabinet is Frank Walker, former chairman of the National Emergency Council and a close friend of both Roosevelt and Farley. The President will ap- pcint Walker if he can get him. But so far Walker has shied away from the job.
 Ostensibly Farley is quitting to rebuild his personal fortune. Ac- tually the main reason behind Jim's departure is to have freer hand in pursuing his presidential aspirations. When questioned about this recently, the postmaster general replied:
 I'm not in the market for either the presidency or vice. presidency. don't have the background or qualifications for the number one job, and l don't want the other."
 But Jim didn't mean 1t. He has been carefully coralling delegates for the 1940 convention ever since last spring. He wants the top berth, but will be satisfied with the vice presidency, especially on a Hull-Farley ticket. Jim be- lieves his key position in the Democratic organization makes him a cinch for one of the two, but he doesn't want to show his hand until the "Chief" has spoken his mind on a third term.
 WAGE GEAR JAILED
 Not many know it, but it took Tommy Corcoran, Steve Early and the prestige of the White House to get Wage-Hour Administrator Elmer Andrews out of the "jug" the other night. He and Mrs. Andrews both spent about five hours in prison, one in a cell and the other in the Women's Bureau, before White House aid came to their rescue.
 It all happened when the Am drews' were coming home one Saturday night. Passing a tav- ern near their Georgetown house, they were attracted by a brawl inside. A lady and hus- band were having some vigorous domestic differences. MT. and Mrs. Andrews stopped to see the fight. This proved to be their undoing.
 A minute or two later, the par ticipants in the brawl ran up the street. Simultaneously a patrol wagon arrived on the scene. Two policemen jumped off.
 There they are," one of them said, pointing to the gentleman who administers the wages and hours of. the nation.
 This rubbed Mrs. Andrews the wrong way, and she gave the cop the drssign-down of his life. This in turn was too much for the cop, and he took them both to the station. There Andrews was searched for weapons, told to empty his pockets. All he had were a couple of Identification cards and $9.47 in cash.
 The police wanted $10 collateral each for MT. and Mrs. Andrews and jail them until help arrived wage-hour deputy administrator, who had been summoned by Steve Early. Sifton posted the $20, and the couple was released. By the time Mrs. Andrews got out of the Women's Bureau it was o'clock of Sunday morning.
 DARK HORSE GOVERNOR
 Governor Price of Virginia has begun to have certain earmarks of a Democratic dark horse for l940. He is friend of Roosevelt, has not alienated the Garner Democrats, and has been an ex- cellent governor.
 Recently Price has been in con- siderable demand to address pub- lie gatherings, and this prestige has become a matter of concern to the Byrd machine in Virginia. They are out to block Price.
 An instance of this occurred in Arlington. where a local commit tee planned to invite the gover- nor to speak. But they were ap-
