I'm not kidding, Kitty. You're ex-
actly the kind of a girl I thought
you'd be-
! chill ran along kits nerves,
because he had said something
that reminded her of another face.
She saw it in the amber bubbles
OF her wine glass. 1t was Vance's
face, and his mouth waSesaying,
That's funny. When I first knew
you, I thought you were different.
But let's skip it."
She smiled at Jerry over the rim
of her glass. Her eyes flirted with
him. What kind of a girl am I,
Ierry?"
Different from any girl I ever
knew. / may be young, Kitty, but
I've been around lot known
lot of women"
Kit didn't even smile when she
said, Il guess you have"
Women from all walks of life"
he elaborated. Blondes and bru-
nettes. Girls in colleges and Offices
.. and debutantes and married
women. Actresses, too"
With all your experience, 1
should think you'd find me dull"
Kit said, tongue in cheek.
Jerry's face was hurt that she
should think that. He said, do you
know why 1 like you?"
Kit shook her head.
Because you-you're a working
gil, but you aren't common.
You've got q purpose in life, but
you aren't a go-getter. You have
a career that means a lot to you,
but you don't bore everybody to
death talking about it. I know
what that career means, Kit, and
that's one of the reasons why I've
fought for" He broke off, looking
embarrassed.
Why you-what, jerry" She
was quietly insistent.
Jerry lowered his lids over his
eyes and toyed for few minutes
with his lighter. "I'll explain that
latcr-maybe. What would you say
if l were to tell you that it was
because of you, and only because
OF you, that made Dad let me
take over the radio end of our adj
vcrtising?"
Kit felt a chill of premonition,
but she refused to let it show in
her face. Deliberately she forced
bantering note into her voice and a
wide, frank smile OF comradeliness
and said, I'D say that you were
making up a speech to make me
feel good and that I couldn't posi-
blv believe a word of it."
"You would, would you? Well
maybe could prove it."
Maybe you could" she said
sagcly. But, of course! inns was
the moment she had been waiting
for.

NLRB STENCIL

The House labor committee
proposal to fumigate the stencil
in the national labor relations
board is of itself a stencil.
A quasi-judicial body has
discredited itself by becoming not at
all judicial but biased, prejudiced,
partisan and unfair. How can that
scandal be relieved by creating
two additional vacancies to be filed
by the same authority that appoint
ed the first one?
The proposal on its very face and
Of itself admits the charge that the

unsatisfactory to all three principal
ly interested parties-employers
and both sides of the divided house
of organized labor. On only one
possible theory can this partisan
ship be reversed-the selection and
appointment of men who can be re-
lied upon in every case, or at least
in a majority of cases, to follow a
contrary bias.
This is the very vice of court
packing, jury-rigging and all SINH

CONGRESS-:
MOrgenthdu's Misery

Clad in an expensive new Easter
suit, the 1940-41 farm appropriation
bill was sent back to the house.
Only a few weeks earlier, dressed
in threadbare tatters, the house had
sent it to a big-hearted senate. At
that time it stood at $7l4,000, 900,
well under Franklin Roosevelts
"bed rock" figure. Now it was
1928, 100000 including 5000, 1000, 900
for parity payments, and there was
an additional $50, 000,0 900 for agricul-
tural loans.
Blown to kingdom come was the
self-righteous economy program
which featured congress- earlier
weeks. The house was certain to
okay most of the enlarged farm
bill, nor was there much chance
that defense and relief appropria-
tions would be slashed substantially.

Farley to tell his followers they
should begin lining up behind some
one like Secretary of State Cordell
Hull. For himself, Farley was
thought to be satisfied with the vice
presidency.
Watching these goings-on, many
another Democratic hopeful became
worried. Indiana's Sen. Frederick

frankly that Jim Farley should re-
tire as Democratic national chair

the ogre of too much spending APP
peared simultaneously before con-
gress and Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau. Anxious to
spend, but not anxious to raise the
debt limit or levy new taxes in an
election year, many legislator
turned covetous eyes on the treas
ury's SURPRISES.
One possibility was the $4,000, O00,-
900 currency sterilization fund.
Hearing about this, Treasurer Nor
genthau protested: &c. the time
may come when we will get down
on our knees and give thanks that
it's still there
Another possibility was to take
the $300,000,000 farm bill increase
out of the treasury's working bal
ance. Treasurer Morgenthau shud-
dered at this, pointing out that the
working balance by next June will
be only 100000, 900.
Frankly worried, Treasurer Nor
genthau protested again when con-
gressmen limited that the 31.2 per
cent gain in income tax collections
might preclude new taxes. Next
day, showing that he was disguised
with the nations fiscal carelessness,
he ordered that baby bonds could
henceforth be sold only to private
individuals. Reason: To hold sales
at minimum, thus keeping the
debt from mounting too rapidly.
While Treasurer -Morgenthau
sweated, the senate, which had
wreaked all this havoc, began dis
cussing the reciprocal trade treaty
bill and headed for a close vote.
EUROPE:

Late March found neither Euro
pean belligerent paying much atten-
ton to actual warfare. The terrific
North sea aerial attacks of a week
earlier had settled into an allied
blockade of Scandinavian shores,
aimed at stopping shipments to Ger
many in spite Of Norwegian and
Swedish neutrality protests. Britain
and France were busy setting their
houses in order. The dictators were
busy making hay in the Balkans.

AGRICULTURE:
Cotton Woe

Last winter the U. S. saw a ray
of hope in its cotton problem. The
1899 crop of 11,500,000 bales was
100000 bales short of domestic and
export demand. Thus supplies in
storage under loans were withdrawn
to supply the market. Meanwhile
Great Britain took 1876, 900 bales
in the seven months ending March
/, compared with only $4,000 bales
in the same period year earlier.
Then came the blow. At Wash
ington, British trade officials an
nounced that United Kingdom pur-
chases of American cotton must be
curtailed to save foreign exchange.
A second reason is that British cot
ton ships have frequently come to
the U. S. empty; by turning to South
America for cotton the British hope
to fill their ships with English-made
goods which can be sold to pay for
the cotton.
Unhappy, agriculture department
officials predicted the U. S. would
again be asked to advance large
loans on unmarketable SURPRISES.
Also received was talk of new
export subsidy program next fall.

100 PER CENT HOOVER

The political smear artists who
are out to get Chief Oman Hoover
realize that they can't do it on any
legitimate charges Of inefficiency or
ill-boding. The guy is 100 per cent
cop and 100 per cent honest.
But there is always the weapon Of
ridicule which is so effective that
a man can be hurt by merely hear
ing his good points mentioned too
much-like Aristides who got him
self kicked out Of Athens partly
because some people got tired Of
hearing him called "The Just" So
they call J. Edgar Hoover "The
Glamour Boy Of the Beaches" That
is based on the following episode in
Miami:
Shortly after the Pendergast
cleanup in Kansas City, the then
attorney general, Frank Murphy,
who is a real glamour boy both in
politics and among the gals, made
a crack about cleaning up corrup-
ton in American cities.
He was not then on the Supreme
court, and he didn't want to 60 there.
He thought he had an outside
chance of becoming heir-apparent
to the Great White Throne. This
may have had nothing to do with
Attorney General Murphy's proposed
city cleaning crusade, but if Tom
Dewey could become leading can
didate by cleaning one city, what
couldn't Frank Murphy do by clean
ing ten?
So he ordered Hoover and six G.
Men to Florida and later announced
that he had done so to cleanse
Miami.
