II might be supposed that an ex-

n particular it might have been
worse. Indeed, it has been worse,
:, witness the appointment OF Hugo
Black.
The new attorney general is a
brilliant young man distinguished
most in official position by business
batting utterances and demagogic
speeches.
Mr.. Roosevelt may now in words
condemn such tactics in plea for
unity as ranging "class against

WASHINGTON new bud
get reveals that Roosevelt pruned
almost every agency in the govern
ment-except his own.
The White House budget actually
has been increased by $4,000 rather
that decreased, and now calls for
$152, $50 to run the Executive Man
son and grounds during the next
fiscal year.
The increase, however, is for a.
new coat of paint. In July and Au-
gust of this year, the White House
will be painted to keep it up to its
traditional name, and that paint
job will cost $1,000.
Aside from this, the White
House budget has not been pruned a
penny, although other government
agencies were. The amount for
Travel and Entertainment" re-
mains as $4,000, as against $25, 900
two years ago.
Roosevelt is the most travelled
President since Taft, and the cost
of going to Hyde Park and back,
plus Warm Springs and other trips
amount allowed in the budget-de-
spite the fact that the budget was
increased by $4,000 two years ago.
The Roosevelts also entertain
much more than their predecessors,
and exceed their budget on this. In
both cases-travel and entertain
ment-the President and his wife
dip into their own pockets to make
up the deficit.
Wages of the White House staff
total about 100000. The housekeep-
er gets $1,000, the gardener $4,000,
the first cook 81 $50, plus wide as
sortment of other cooks, buffers,
kitchen helpers, housemen and
maids. 49,.
The bill for heat. light, and cleo
trio power Ito drive the elevator,
mechanical appliances in the kit
chen, etc. is $1,000. The laundry
bill is $4,000.
Knox Turns Cabinet Job Down
Here is the inside story of Roose-
velt's secret offer of the navy sec
retaryship to Col. Frank Knox:
The Chicago publisher and G. O.
p. candidate for vice president was
asked to come to Washington for a
private talk with the President at
4 pm. Saturday, December 10.
The President lost no time in get
ting down to brass tacks. He re-
minded Knox of the editorial he had
printed in his paper shortly after
the start Of the European war, urg-
ing coalition" cabinet with sew
eral Republican members, in order
to meet the emergency in a ina
tional" rather than a partisan man
ner.
II think that was good advice
then, and think it is equally sound
now" Roosevelt said in effect. "As
you know, the navy secretaryship
is open and I'd like very much to
have you take it. It's a very i'm
portant job and I think you're Just
the man, Frank, to fill the bill"
Thank you, Mr.. President" re-
piled Knox. "I appreciate deeply
the honor you pay me. And if there
were a real emergency I would be
entirely at your service. But don't
think emergency conditions exist
any longer, and under the circum-

New York, April 19.-(UP)- Charging that Soviet Russia has been poisoning the intellectual and spiritual life of this country" Her bert Hoover recommended today that the United States withdraw its ambassador from Moscow. Writing in Golfers Magazine, ths former president criticized the Roosevelt administration for its formal recog- milton of the Soviet government in 1883 and warned:
 "The recognition of Russia is a test of statesmanshlp. With two- thirds of the world at war, vast problems will arise daily, the solu- tion of which will determine our peace abroad and our peace at home The capacity and judgment in the past should be examined before we elect leadership for the difficult years before us." DiscIaiming any in- tention of 'Red-baiting," and depre- eating suggestions of an imminent Communist uprising in this country MT. Hoover said: >
 Soviet Russia, since the New Dea formally granted recognition te Stalin's government, has been wig orously poisoning the intellectual and spiritual life of this country Moscow has maintained In thi! country a vast propaganda machine

 The allies counted too strongly on the Nazi- Communist pact to swing Spain out of Germany's orbit.
 They forgot that every instrument of propaganda-press and radio in particular-was controlled by the most pro-German, ar1ti-French, anti-British element in Spain, the Falangists.
 Against this group is only the pow erless and uninspired Rightist Op- position, which wants to develop Spain internally before taking an- other flyer into European politics.
 While England and France slept at the switch last fall and winter, Dr. Goebbels moved into Spain to counteract the public effect of the Nazi-Soviet pact. He had a powerful weapon in 600 million pesetas owed Germany for arms.
 Now the allies are beginning an effort to counteract Dr. Goebbels' propaganda. They will stress pos siblep consequences to Spain of the Reich-Soviet agreement, Communist danger to Catholic Spain, especially on moral and economic grounds, and exaltation of Catholic conceptions in France.
 The allied propagandists hold some cards. First, the radio. It's easy to broadcast over the Pyrenees into the heart of Spain. Second, newspapers. Most of them are con- trolled by the Falangists, who can't be reached directly.
 But what is newspaper printed on? Newsprint-made from Scan- dinavian woodpulp in the case of Spanish papers. If Germany con- trols Norway the Spanish publishers will have difficult time at best get- ting neWSprint via Germany, be- cause of the blockade.
 But if France and Britain control Norway-then the Spaniards can get the paper easily if they will gc along with France and Britain.
 While Germany splurges a re. ported five million francs a month in pile-driving propaganda in Spain the allies could chisel in on the ground floor with a mere third o. a million francs a month for news. print-if they controlled Norway.

SCIENCE FIGHTING
 CANCERS ADVANCE
New Methods M Il s t Be FOund--25O,OOO Deaths
 Annually Feared

New York, N. Y. April l8-In 30 years time cancer will be claiming victims in the United States at the rate of more than a quarter of a million a year, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany predict, if present mortality conditions continue unchanged and no new methods of combating the disease are discovered. Accordingly the statisticians stress the dire need for cancer research, If this scourge, which now ranks as the second most important cause of death, is to be controlled.
 Pointing out that in 1888 cancer took a toll of 149,214 lives in this country, the statisticians say: "If cancer mortality conditions now prevailing remain unchanged, this number, with the aging of our pop ulation, will grow to 192,000 by 1850 and to 278. 10 by 1870.
 Directly or indirectly, the prob lem of cancer will, at some time, be- come an actuality to great num- Der of our present population. It cannot be overlooked that each cancer patient represents not only a direct scource of suffering to himself but also a great trial to those upon whom falls the physical. mental and financial burden of his care"
 Not only would all this suffering be eliminated if cancer could be wiped out, but since the disease ranks as the second most important cause of death, such a miraculous development would increase the av- craze length of life for white fe- males by 1.82 years and by 1.l7 years for white males.
 But medical science does not as vet, give even a hint of the elimi- nation of cancer from its high posi- ton among the important causes of death" the statisticians say. There fore, it still remains serious ques- ton to determine what are the av- craze individuals chances of even- tually dying from this cause" I Not quite 20 years ago, they ex- plain, the chances of dying from cancer were about 12 in 100 for Na
