Only Newspapermen
Go 10 Train 10 Bid
Farewell 10 Garner
Want to Get Awoy From
Everything, Including
Myself Texon Says

The cnly persons at Union Station
last night to say farewell to John
Nance Garner. after he ended his 80
years of political life in Washington,
were half dozen newspapermen.
Reticent as ever. the retiring Vice
President declined to make any
comment on national or interna-
tional problems, but said he was
going to his home in Uvalde. Tex,
to be a personal isolationist."
Mr.. Garner went to Union Station
In the car he turned over several
days ago to his successor, Henry A.
Wallace. Yesterday, on the in
augural stand at the Capitol, Mr..
Garner administered the oath of
office to Mr.. Wallace and suddenly
disappeared.
According to reports, he returned
to his hotel after the inaugural cere-
nony, took two-hour nap and then
entertained a group of his friends.
In the party were Speaker Rayburn
and Bascom N. Timmons. veteran
Washington newspapermen, both
Texans.
Gets Away From 1t All.
Mr.. Garner occupied a single
compartment on the Baltimore g.
Ohio train that took him away from
Washington. He said he did not in
tend to leave the compartment until
he reached Texas.
II want to get away from every
thing, including myself he de-
clared.
Mr. Garner, whose dislike of pomp
and ceremony are we'll known, wore
q silk hat at the inauguration-but
1t was borrowed. The lender was
Mr. Timmons, an old friend.
The hat didn't fit any too well, but
this didn't bother Jack Garner. He
told Mr.. Timmons before the in
auguration that top hats should be
carried, not worn.
This same topper, it was learned,
has been in possession of Secretary
Of Commerce Jones-another Texan
for the last five years. Mr.. Jones
borrowed it from Mr.. Timmons, who
used it when he was inaugurated
president of the National Press Club
some years ago and hasn't needed it
since.
Puts on Sombrero.
Mr.. Garner, who ordinarily wears
his old Texas sombrero, put on for
a while yesterday. between functions,
third hat-a wide-brimmed Borsa-
limo given him Sunday night by
Anon Carter, Forth Worth pub
Usher.
Against his express wishes and in
his absence, the Senate praised Mr..
Gamers SO years of service in
Westinghouse a Representative,
as Speaker and as Vice President.
Senator Byrnes. Democrat, of South
Carolina. introduced the resolution
expressing the Senate's apprecia-
tion Of the Texans service.
LAS long as honor and truth and
courage are appreciated" said Sen
ator Byrnes. the services of John
N. Garner will be appreciated by the
people of the United States"
The Senate, in the resolution, ex-
pressed appreciation of "the cour-
tesy, fairness, impartiality and
ability shown by the Vice Presi-
dent of the United States and the
President of the Senate, Hon. John
N. Garner, in the administration of
the duties of his Office during the
past eight years and tenders him its
sincere thanks"
Senator after Senator rose to join
IN the tribute to the man retiring
after nearly four decades of public
life.

been talking too much" and had
nothing to say about that.
One question was whether Mr..
Wallace intended to carry out his
announced plan of visiting all of
the Southern American countries
within the next four years.
First Order of Business.
The first order of business" the
Vice President replied, "is to get ac-
quainted with 96 Senators. When
the first order of business under the
Constitution Is properly disposed Of,
II IT fits into the general scheme of
events, 1t might be possible for me
to visit South American countries"
All signs pointed to an early bap-
tism Of oratorical fire for the new
Vice President. Within few weeks
President Roosevelt's controversial
lease-lend bill is expected to reach
the floor and bitter last-ditch fight
against 1t already is in prospect.
Mr.. Wallace formally shouldered
the responsibilities of his new Of
flee yesterday when he took his oath
from Mr.. Garner.
Before Mr.. Wallace took Mr.
Garner's place in the Senate and
welded the gavel for the first time
he confided to friends that "I don't
know all the rules but I guess 7
have the soul Of them"
Clan Gathers at Dinner.
The Vice President and Mrs. Wal
lace put in a crowded day yesterday
participat ting with vigor and ap-
parent pleasure in all inaugural
ceremonies. They topped this with
large family dinner for the Wallace
elan and relatives who came here
to see him installed as the No. 2
man of the Government.
incidentally, Mr.. Wallace, a man
OF moderate means, went back on
the regular Government pay roll for
the first time since last September,
when he resigned his $15,O0O-a-year
post as Secretary of Agriculture
to campaign as the Democratic
nominee for Vice President. AS Vice
President he will receive the same
salary.
Friends, who believe Mr.. Wallace
will prove the most verstile Vice
President since Thomas Jefferson,
expect the 52-year-old former farm
journalist to distinguish himself
despite his inexperience as a prac-
tical politician and legislator.
Mr.. Garner usually opened Senate
sessions each day and then turned
his gavel over to some willing Sena-
tor unless things were popping in
the Senate Mr.. Wallace expects to
preside most of the time, sharing
this burden with Senator Harrison
Democrat, Of Mississippi, new presi.
dent pro tempore.

Physical DEFICIENCIES which have
decreased since 1918 include mental
and nervous diseases, and defects In
lungs, heart, hernia and feet. Mrs.
Roosevelt expressed satisfaction that
heart and mental and nervous dis
eases were less prevalent but was
disappointed that rejection because
OF pulmonary troubles had not been
cut even more drastically.
Commenting on the possible ap-
pointment soon by President Roose-

Some OF these original names

changed are. Ellis Street to
Washtenaw Avenue, Michigan

The town as originally laid out
extended northward from Gather
Inc Street to- Washtenaw Avenue,
and from Hamilton Street east

since 1925, never grew much
farther eastward than Grove
Street, but instead took a north
western direction. Undoubtedly
the advent of the Michigan State

town should grow. Today, how

WAR

WAX
Monday we touched briefly
upon ideals that might have pre-
vented the war which we have
now officially entered. That was
speculation and Is of little value
except as possible guide in
thinking about the future.
Our business now is to look
ahead to the completion of this
struggle as quickly and as eff
fectively as possible. No matter
how we may have felt in the
past. we have one united duty
now. That duty Is to give in
every way possible of our ex-
perience and time and money to
help the President and his of
fetal helpers in their efforts to
o1op III conquest Of the world
ulzich the German leader has
plnshed too far to be tolerated in
: ciyilised world.
Our objective must be one
thine Victory. No matter how
Ne may feel about the right and
wrong Of war, no matter how
We feel about past international
relations or affairs political and
financial. we must turn to
whoIehearted cooperation in
every effort for the good of all
people concerned.
There win be many ways to
halo TO cite ! single example:
brave mothers h war torn coun-
tries have even RETAINED from
talking about casualties. A
mother in England may receive
Official word Of her sons death,
but she covers signs of her grief
and goes courageouslv on about
her work, helping with a smile
wherever she can and saying
nothing of her sorrow. That is
patriotism Of the first order. 1t
Is an important part of the pro-
gram for morale and morale is
imperative. Once 1t breaks and
encouragement supplants deter
f1nination to win. the door to the
enemy starts to open.
Two paramount needs. which
open the way for everyone to
help. are Money and Men. BY
buying Defense stamps and
bonds every man, woman and
child can contribute to the
speeding up of American vic
tory. A few stamps or a small
bond may seem inconsequential, /
but It isn't. Buy, no matter how
little. Buy as much as you can |
and as often as you can.
And about the men. there Is
little to say that you don't al !
ready know. The Navy and air
corps need men of the highest
type. men physically fit and
mentally active. Requirements
have been very high, but official
announcements are now being
made to the effect that stand |
ards can be lowered for some
branches of the service and that
men formerly rejected may now
be accepted. So they should try
again.
Everyone must help.
Obviously these discussions
about the war and how to help
do not make pleasant reading.
but war is not a pleasant sub
iect and this is not matter of
entertainment. 1t is a serious
business. providing big lob for
everyone. There is Just one way
to get a big job done. That is to
get busy and do it. We must all
get busy.
We are in this war to uphold
our belief in the principle OF
freedom for all people. The
cause is Just one. We must
