You never miss, and never will;

Peaceful as a little mouse;
Nothing good can last like that

You can't get rid of that old guy
When folks inside the Pearly Gate

You'll find they're running from

the Federal Security Agency, as out
lined in the Presidents reorganiZa-
ton plan. The reports, which were
widespread in official circles, are the
first intimation of a resignation as
the result of the contemplated
merger of various governmental
agencies.
Stephen Early, White House sec
retary, said today he knew nothing
about it,"
When Mr. Fechner was asked If
he intended to resign because Of the
reorganization plan, it was said to-
day he had replied that he had
nothing to say since Congress has
not yet acted on the matter" From
this. it was inferred that when and
if Congress does approve the plan
he would submit his resignation.
The President, it is known. would
be loath to accept Mr.. Fechner's
resignation under these circum-
stances. The c. c. c. is an agency
in which Mr.. Roosevelt always has
taken a deep personal interest, be-
ing more responsible for its creation
than any one else. The agency also
is one of the few under the New
Deal that has won support from
critics of the administration.
In official circles it was reported
today that Mr.. Roosevelt no doubt
would use his influence in an effort
to persuade the director to change
his mind in the event Mr.. Fechner
actually has decided to resign.
The C. c. c. would lose its inde-
pendent identity as an agency under
the first reorganization plan sub
mitted to Congress April Is by
merging it into the Federal Security
Agency, together with the National
Youth Administration, Social Sc
curity Board, United States Employ
ment Service, Office of Education
and Public Health Service.
Mr.. Fechner was understood to
believe the c. c. c. would be handi-
capped in it's work if such a merger
is approved by Congress and his own
usefulness ended.
In six years, the c. C. C. director
has handled 2,787 900 enrollees. keep
ing an average of 100000 boys and
young men in $500 work camps.
The value of their work in per-
manent improvements has far ex-
ceeded the cost of giving these young
men a livelihood.

Another development was disclos-
ure by War Department officials
that the Army was building up re-
serve supply of scrap iron and steel
through an embargo imposed II
months ago.
All branches of the Army, includ-
ing the manufacturing arsenals of
the Ordnance Department, the En-
gineers and the Quartermaster
Corps, were directed formally to
withhold from sale large quantities
OF scrap metal of any description.
Until the order was promulgated
early last year, the Army's output
OF scrap metal was sold like any
other surplus material and helped
swell the supplies available for ex-
port.
The Army's metal supplies total
the relatively small quantity of TO-
900 tons, but officials said a definite
principle was involved. Japan in
1887 bought an estimated 1900 900
tons of metal scrap in this country.
Great Britain was second in volume
OF purchases, and Italy was third.

that the Shanghai Municipal Coun-
Gil, governing body of the Shang-
hal International Settlement, be re-

be taken Immediately.
The Japanese government can
not pass unnoticed the activities of
anti-Japanese elements or those
hostile to the new Gapanese-spon-

in the district court of Beaverhead
county TO force compliance with the
terms Of an agreement that had been
entered into between Haw. Grant and
others relative to the sale of the prop
erty il which they were jointly inter-
ested A decision was reached in favor
of Grant. Gray, as executor, then APP
pealed TO the supreme court and the
decision reversed the lower court and
awarded the property to Mrs. Gray.
The use is reviewed as follows:
Thomas Haw was the owner of
three mining claims in the Elkhorn
mining district of Beaverhead county.
Prior TO his death, he. together with
several others, including Daniel Grant.
the defendant, entered into an agree
ment fer the sale of the claims to
the Boston g. Montana Development
Co. OF the first payments to be made,
other parties interested with Haw were
to receive 81 900 cash, but of the final
payment Of $33,750 Haw was to re-
ceive the entire amount.
prior to the time final payment
for the mining property was to be
will in favor of Mrs Mary Gray Grant
then claimed that he had made in
1905 or 1906 an oral agreement with
Haw that he was to furnish Haw GER
tain sums of money from time to time
to pay the living expenses of Haw and
that HaW was to repay that. In the
event of the death of Haw the claims
were 10 become the property of Grant.
The lower court found for the defend
ant, Grant, and the plaintiff executor
appealed.
In reversing the case and ordering
judgment entered for Haw, the SUI
ureme court says that the testimony
that Grant kept no books
on the amount of money advanced to
Haw for living expenses and that when
testifying he could not remember the
amounts, nor the time when such
amounts were given to Haw. In addi-
ton. the supreme court says that Haw
was receiving money as royalties in
other districts and that such royalties
were paid him through Grant by check
from the smelter. The checks were
made to Grant and Grant was to have
paid Haw Grant testified, according
to the supreme courts opinion, that
he turned over these moneys to Haw
but that he did not keep books on
the sums so paid.
The supreme court says that it is
absurd to presume that Grant paid the
money for the living expenses of Haw
without keeping books on the amount.
the court says, in the event
Haw lived. and the property was sold,
Grant would have nothing upon which
to base a settlement of money loaned
TO Haw"
