Corcoran and Cohen
Status Unchanged,
President Says
Chief Executive Tells
Press 1t Created
And Killed 'Bonshee'

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt said yesterday
the status of Thomas Corcoran and
Benjamin Cohen, administration at
torneys, had not been changed by an
executive order reorganizing the
White House staff.
Mr.. Corcoran is employed by the
r. F. c.; Mr.. Cohen by the Power
Policy Committee. Both have at
tracted attention as bill-phrasing
consultants and contact men for the
administration In its dealings with
Congress
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement was
made at a press conference during
a discussion set off by mention OF
the so-called brain trust.
Banshee Created by Press.
The brain trust, the President said,
was a two-headed Corcoran-Cohen
banshee which had been created and
then finally laid to rest by the press.
In announcing the White House
reorganization at Hyde Park, N. Y,
Saturday, Stephen Early, presiden-
tial secretary, had said:
"It is out of the window, for the
much-heralded and celebrated crea-
lures of the imagination. We have
heard and read about the brain trust.
Here's an emergency. Here's an
executive order. I do not see any
place for those we previously heard
about"
Mr.. Roosevelt said newspapermen
had little to write about Saturday
so they set about killing the banshee.
Obviously amused, he said a ban
shee only appeared when one had
indigestion and in itself was indi-
gestible.
With a grin, he added that the
reporters, having set up the ghost,
could not let him roam through
eternity, so they killed him.
Meaning Not Clear.
1t was not clear whether this
meant Mr.. Corcoran and Mr.. Co.
hen would discontinue bill-framing
and liaison activities in Congress
and devote themselves exclusively to
their posts.
But the President obviously got
q kick out of describing a banshee,
which the dictionary says is a "su-
pernatural being supposed to warn
a family of the approaching death
of one of its members by wailing
or singing in mournful voice"
At the end of the discussion a
woman reporter said she was still
uncertain about the status of Mr.
Corcoran and Mr.. Cohen. The Presi-
dent replied he thought she
should be.

the time he made the announce-
ment the SCIENTISTS group Of
geodisists, geologists, oceanographers
and hydrologists-were engaged In .
discussion Of curious scientific facts
relating to the substrata Of the
earth. As one Of the principals in
the discussion DR.. Russell had to be
present to defend some Of his theses.
Nevertheless, 1t was learned that
the Indian village discovered by DR..
Russell was probably one OF the
Oldest on this continent, dating
back more years than DR.. Russell
would estimate. That, Of course, Is

Some Of the historic treasures

however, is said to fit into the pres

geologists, who long have held the
theory that this part Of North Amer
ica-around the Gulf Coast geosyn-
cline-was once part Of what might
be termed the top soil of America.

Rudy Dusek, 13 Jinx
Menace Singh on
Mat Tonight

One of the seasons super-cyclonic
matches will be served District mat
addicts this evening at Turner's
Arena where Manic Singh, a dusky
athlete who probably was included
in the lease, faces robust Rudy
Dusek in the top bout of the pro-
gram. This will be Singhs thir-
teenth consecutive appearance at
the w street abbatoir and while he
has no qualms about the i'll fortune
supposed to accompany that figure,
drawing Rudolph for an opponent
isn't exactly a good omen.
Moreover, Rudy is peeved with
the Hindu for the rough treatment
he accorded cousin Emil last week
and is vowing to break Nanjo into
small pieces and toss them to the
bleacher wolves. Last weeks victory
gave Singh 500 batting average
against the Dusek tribe, for the
week before he was ingloriously
pinned by Ernie Dusek, which must
have been slight oversight on the
script writer's part.
A rumor has been circulated by
Herr Turner's purveyor of propa-
ganda that Singh and Jack Harder,
who works with him every third
Thursday, are a little provoked at
the wholesale Dusek invasion of this
territory and intend to call a union
meeting if Turner persists In using
the newcomers.

the bulging beltline of Tony Galento

Originally the ratings were to be re-

Tony Just Getting to Work

But, mark you we'll" cort .nues
Mr.. Jacobs, 'he must keep his poll
tics out of the ring. My man Ga
lento is no guinea pig. My Tony is
a cheerful and copious bleeder. He
cuts easily along several dotted lines.
The more he bleeds, you might say,
the better he likes it. He has red
corpuscles to spare, and, as for his
white corpuscles, he gives them
away with every purchase of more
than 81.
Blake, no doubt, will watch Lou
Nova carve my man like a suuab
tomorrow night and his heart will
suffer for Tony. He even may make
a move to stop the fight. Let him
beware OF doing so. A cut Galento
is far more dangerous than the un-
cut variety. When the paid clioues
begin to yell Stop it, Tony is Just
getting down to work. He likes to
drop a pint of blood in the first
couple of rounds. He can move his
arms easier.

er," says Mr.. Jacobs, always the
pnrasema&er, like a shoat."
It's a good thing Mr.. Paul Damski,
manager of the sanguineous Finn,
Gunnar Barlund. is not around to
hear this boast. 1t would wound his
pride and offend his vanity. Mr..
Damski firmly believes that his Finn

NEW YORK, Sept. 14,-Welby Van
Horn. a tall, grinning boy from the
California tennis incubator, has
everybody at Forest Hills saying he
will be the next great champion of
the courts-perhaps no later than
next year.
BY great champion, they mean
one like Tilden, Vines and Bulge.
Not just good enough to win the
championship, but up there all alone.
Welby, who turned 10 only six
days ago, appears to have the max
ings of that kind of champion. At
least he did yesterday in sWatting
Elwood Cooke out of the big tourna-
ment in four sets. His service and
his fiat forehand drive, reminiscent
of the Vines of 1881, practically
blew Cooke off the stadium court.
Cooke was a Wimbledon flnalist
this year, good enough to carry
Bobby Riggs to five sets. and he
wasn't off his game yesterday.
Good Chance to Reach Scmis.
Van Horn has made tremendous
improvement since last years cham
pionships, when Bulge squelchcd
him with the loss of only one game.
He's about full grown now and con-
fident.
After all it took Vines only two
years to reach the top" he said,
"One year he was ranked only eighth
and the next year he won the title.
They say my style is something like
his"

To Shed CorpuscIes

BY powerful coincidence, the two
great blood donors, Barlund and
Galento, both have had to do with
Lou Nova. Nova has a knack for
tapping gore. The Finnish donor,
Barlund, knocked down Lou and was
pummeling his ribs with gusto when
Lou suddenly cut his eye open, thus
winning the fight. The same grim
fate awaits the Jersey donor, Galen-
to, this Friday night, if Referee
Blake turns out to be an operative in
the employ of Irene Castle.
Tony will cut, no doubt of that.
Mr.. Jacobs admits it.
why shouldn't he cut?" says
Yussel, Indignantly. That's his
right. I looked it up in the Consti-
tuition. Why should a man be penal
lied for getting rid of blood he don't
want? I tell you frankly, if my
Anthony fails to dispose of gross
of those red corpuscles early in the
evening he gets the hiccups.
II will watch Blake with a hawk

conclusion. "If he starts to confuse

When you speak of biood,' says

can bleed! They should see my
Gunnar. He bleeds better than a
Bourbon. He bleeds like

There certainly is much in what

mar has few rivals in the field of

this fact, while it fills Mr.. Damski

Gunnar is just beginning to enjoy
things.
