One thing that has made the
President sore Is the report he
got on what happened inside the
Banking and Currency Commit
tee. Two things occurred behind
closed doors which never leaked
out.
One was the method used by
Chairman Henry B. Steagall Of
Alabama, sponsor Of the bill, In
keeping the legislation concealed
from his Democratic colleagues
until the last minute - so they
had no chance to study tbs tech
meal contents. Meanwhile, Stea-
gail conferred at length with Rep.
James P. Wolcott of Michigan,
ranking Republican Of the COM
mittee, the day before the bill was
considered.
Second unreported fact was how
Steagall left q loophole for the
protection Of his own farmer con-
stituents. The bill calls for con-
tinued subsidies on tire coYi1nlodi-
cites - soy beans, peanuts and cot
: tonSeed. Two Of these, peanuts
and cottonSeed, are leading prod
ucts Of Seagalls Alabama district.
on the rollcall, the committees
II Republicans lined up solidly
with steagall, plus three other
Democrats and one Progressive,
Representative Merlin Hull Of
Wisconsin. Ten Democrats, led
by Representatives Wright Pat
man Of Texas, Thomas Ford Of
California and James Wright Of
Pennsylvania, put up q vigorous
fight against the farm bloc coalt-
ton but were outnumbered.
RUNAWAY INITIATION
Patman bluntly charged the Re-
publicans with ''cOndemning to
death" the Administrators anti
initiation program without even
suggesting an alternative" to keep
the lid on consumer prices. The
big Texan said the Steagall bill
would cause wild price increases on
virtually all necessities and would
cost American consumers IS bill
lions next year.
Pennsylvania Representative
Wright accused the Farm bloc

YALE MAN

Harvard lawyers, Of whom the
Washington woods are full, are get
ting a big kick out Of the fact that
the new president OF the Jap
anese-occupied Philippines, Jose p.
Laurel, is a graduate Of the Yale
University School of Law, class Of
1920, at which time he received the
degree of Doctor Civil Law He also
has an honorary degree In law from
the Imperial University of Japan,
awarded in 1889.
Filippinos in Washington go slow,
however, in labelling Laurel as O
Quisling. He is recognized as an
able man, q member Of President
Manuel Quezorl's cabinet for years,
first as secretary Of the interior,
then as secretary Of justice. He had
also served in the Philippine Sen
ate, and had been named as asso-
ciate justice Of the Philippine ST.
preme Court In 1885. He was known
as q strong nationalist, though he
had presumably taken no active
part In politics after being named
to the Supreme Court. He never
returned to the United States after
being graduated from Yale.
NONSTOP HOP
U; s. Army transport planes can
fly nonstop between Australia and
India, a distance Of some 5000 to
1000 air miles, depending on the
route. This can now be revealed,
following the release Of news Of
Lieutenant General Brehon Somer-
ville's fight from Australia to In
dia for conference with Admiral
Lord Louis Mountbatten and Lieu
tenant General Joseph w. Stilwell,
as well as by the flight Of the five
fellow-traveling senators who made
the trip in the other direction on
their recent swing around the
world.
How much aerial traflc there is
over this long hop, and the exact
routes or airports Of arrival and de-
parture, cannot Of course be re-
vealed. But before the war, It was
at last three-day flight, carried
NuV AA AayAA6AV VAAAJI dk1u WIFI OVER
night stops for crews and passen-
gers. Under pre-war schedules OPP
Grated by Imperial Anyways and the
Dutch KNILM lines, 1t was q one
day hop from Calcutta to Singapore
second day over the Dutch East
Indies to Port Darwin, Australia,
and third day from there to Bris-
bane, Sydney or Melbourne, The
airline distance, Calcutta to Port
Darwin, was over 1000 miles; to
Brisbane 5000. At times the second
and third days flights were broken
If flying conditions were not good.
The fact that planes are now fly
ing nonstop right over and around
Jap-held Burma, Malaga and the
Dutch East Indies merely gives an
indication 0f how postwar flying
schedules in that part of the world
may be speeded up. BY steamship
from Calcutta to Sydney was often

on to say that, knowing the coun-
try politically, there was certain to
be an effort for such tariff and that
when he was out of the White
House, he hoped somebody would
veto It.
This was obviously an admission
from Mr.. Roosevelt himself that he
wasn't going to be president forever,
which some people have suspected.
But what worries the read.be-
tween the Liners Is whether the
President was admitting (a) that
he could be beaten in 1914 or (b)
that he might not be running In
1914. Reason for the latter surmise
Is that If the war should end In the
next two or three years, the rub
