CHANCELLOR SAYS HE WAS MlSQUOTED

Detroit, Feb. 6-(UP) - Father Edward J. Hickey, chancellor of the Catholic archdiocese of Detroit, said today he was misquoted in publish ed reports quoting him as saying Archbishop Edward Mooney was dis pleased with utterances of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin.
 Father Hickey said there was no truth in a report that he had as- cribed Archbishop Mooney's pur- ported displeasure as the reason for the sudden cancellation of Father Coughlin's regular radio sermon last Sunday.
 Father Coughlin meantime with held explanation of his failure to broadcast.
 He was believed to be at the rec tory of the Shrine of the Little Flower in suburban Royal Oak al- though associates said they had not seen him this morning.
 An announcer who directed pro- gram of organ and choir music and gave out cryptic statements during Father Coughlin's regular Sunday radio hour predicted that events this week would "enlighten" mysti- fled listeners. Since then there had been no hint of what the events might be.
 we confidently expect" the an- nouncer said, "that Father Coughlin will return to the microphone next Sunday"

After Miss Sally and I had got- ten out of sight and hearing of my client, she told me confidenti- ally something about her uncle that added to my respect and ad- miration for him.
 He had a very beautiful but sad romance in his youth" she said, land this place is especially associated with it. He won't say anything to us about it. He never does. This memory is too sacred and precious a thing to him, to share with any one else.
 "It was a close repetition of the story of Paul and Virginia, even to the name, Virginia. For in this case it was-Dan and Virginia
 My mother used to tell us chil- story of Uncle Dams courtship ot dren," continued Miss Sally, "the his Virginia, from the time they were little children; of their in- tended marriage, with the delight ed approval of both their families; her sudden illness and death; and his sorrow and constancy-that time and absence do not change. And that's why, mamma said, Uncle Dan is bachelor and al- ways wears a flower on his coat lapel.
 Mama said that Virginia's love for flowers, especially wild flow CTS, was beautiful to see. She loved them all, but a wild-roce so appealed to her that she couldn't bear to SC one broken from the bush.
 Mama told us that one lovely June morning when she was with Uncle Dan and Virginia up here on the Palisades, Uncle Dan started to pick a bouquet of wild roses, but before he had broken the first rose from its stem, Vir- ginia seized his arm, protesting, Don't, don'tl Dan, dear. Let me tell you. I have peculiar feeling about the wild rose. Most other flowers can be preserved alive in water. but the wild roSe-moSt dainty and exquisite of all, in coloring and perfume and though hardy enough, when on the bush to stand the tossing and drenching of gales and tempests-and seems to think it's fun, yet, when sev- cred from it's stem, it wilts and dies.
 Then, according to the account that Miss Sally received from.

While he was enjoying the com- panionship of his niece and enter ing heartily into all her madcap programs, he was not forgetting the will" that he had employed me to draw for him.
 The original draft being now completed, we sat down together in his apartment for him to look it over and make any corrections he wanted before I took it to my office to type the final copy for him to execute.
 After reading it carefully, he took a big lead pencil and cross ed of the entire portion relating to his tomb and directions about his burial, that I'd had such a time writing at his dicta.ion. Evi- dently he didn't care a rap any more about what should happen to his own ultimate remains
 He was pleased with the various gifts he had made and the pro- vision for all the reStt, residue and remainder of his estate, to his estate, to his nieces and nephews, share and share alike
 That will do for the will, The said, but. apart from the will, in which my nieces are to share equally with their brothers, want to create separate trusts for my two nieces, to become operative at once, to insure them additional small annunities as long as they live, and I want it fixed so that neither they nor anybody else can sell or pledge or otherwise hazard or defeat this purpose. For can't bear the thought that my nieces- my dear dead sisters girls could ever come to want"
 The present admirable life in- surance company and trust com pany provisions to meet just such cases, were not then known.
 It was then in the early 80ies Springtime, and my client and his niece, Miss Sally, were taking long daily drives in a half-closed car riage, where he could be safely hidden in his goggles and the various disguises which the live ly, and ingenious Miss Sally con- trived.
 The present generations can only know in part the incomparable natural charm of Manhattan Is- land and vicinity in Springtime and Summer, and we may all imagine what it must have been when Washington Irving was hobnobbing with the Knickerboc- kers and exploring the Catskills with Rip Van Wrinkle and his faithful dog, Schneider.
 But view from the past of the present, what marvellous spo. of Earth-is Manhattan; with her Atlantic Ocean beaches, her sail or's snug harbor, her Hell Gate and Long Island Sound, her matchless Hudson River with its West Point, its Palisades and its mountains!
 It was my good luck to be in- vited to go with them sometimes, and I recall one special occasion when we went for wild-flowers, on the Palisades above Fort Lee.
 We ferried the Hudson at 125th Street. That part of the Palisades

Ezeu'vs Pictures and Interview With Harold IeLs' Jr. First Baby of the Cabinet
Mother Calls Off Great Danes to Admit Reporter
BY GERRY DICK

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Feb. 6-Going to cal on a cabinet wife is one thing. Co., ing to call on a cabinet wife's small son is another especially when that son is youthful Harold Ickes. Jr., son of the secretary of the In- terior and Mrs. Ickes, and strong minded lad in his own right.
 Maybe his distinguished fathers distrust of the press has been in- herited. Anyway, when I started up the sloping lawn of the Ickes' Maryland home, two great Danes came bounding down to meet me. They did not look in the least cordial.
 had been invited for lunch, but the Danes seemed to think I was going to be the entree. I got back to te coupe two steps ahead of them, and had the door locked and the motor started when Mrs. Ickes came to the front door, sub dued the reception committee, and invited me in.
 MASTER HAROLD
 CHANGES FOR INTERVIEW
 After luncheon, my card was taken in to Master Harold. His nurse came down to report that he would see me as soon as he had changed.
 Like his mother, the young man has bright blue eyes. Like his father, he looks like a born scrap per. He settled his broad shoul- ders comfortable and clenched his fists as the interview began.
 Since he was born on Labor Day. five months ago. wanted to know how he felt about unions. He would say nothing for pubh- cation, but he made an unpleasant gurgling noise which may have indicated annoyance at the men tion of company unions. l pointed out that his own nurse is on duty day and night, but he dismissed this inconsistency by looking hard at the ceiling and loftily blowing a bubble.
 PUTS THE ICKES
 EMPHASIS ON STATEMENTS
 Maybe I looked like part of the unemployment problem, in search of a solution; at any rate he began hurling stuffed animals out of his crib and jeering as I picked them up. This went on until I got wind ed.
 Throughout the interview he clutched noisemaker in his fist and waved it furiously to empha- size his points.
 Feeling, at last, that the inter- view was not wholly a success, and being trifle tired of bending for those animals, went to find my hostess.
