But according to the smoke-filled
room boys. the Haskell Hanley race
is probably the most important
Lieutenant Governor contest from
national political standpoint, that
was ever held.
Here Is the way they figure it.
Although State Democratic Chair
man James A. Farley slipped one
over on the New Dealers when he
obtained the nomination of Haskell
the retired general will have the
solid backing of. the states Demo-
Gratis which had a candidate but
withdrew him in favor of the Far

That means that practically all
the strength the Democrats can
muster in New York will be out in
force in November, one year away
from the national elections. The
result probably will tell a truer
story than all the public opinion
polls ever conducted.
If Haskell is defeated. the DEM

prospects, but they will have hard
time convincing observers. serve to
cement some of the riffs in the
Democratic ranks there. If it did.
some Democratic good would come

On the other hand, if General
Haskell is elected, the chances of
drawing Gov. Thomas E. Dewey into

siderably lessened. The Governor

shape artificially, the birds spend
ing much of their time nibbling
away the vane on either side of the
shaft with it serrated or saWlike
beak margins. Such an act Of con-
scious decoration on the part of any
bird is not known except among the
motmots.
The food is varied and consists of
insects, fruits. reptiles and the like.
The bird apparently enjoys any food
it can find, and thus is rarely
hungry.
The nests are placed in holes ex-
cavated in banks. usually along the
watercourses. The entrance tun-
mel extends back horizontally about
6 feet. One-half of its length there
is large sharp bend upward for
inches. The remaining part of the
hallway is again horizontal. The
nursery is about IA inches in di-
ameter and inches from floor to
ceiling. Coarse, dry twigs are
strewn over the floor. There are
three or four colored eggs. The
parents work all day to furnish their
triplets or quartet with tender fish.
insects and baby reptiles. Their
apartment gives forth a horrible
odor.
There are "a or more species Of
motmots. They are birds of the
New World and range from South
ern Mexico to Paraguay. They love
the dense forests and are not often
seen, but their weird cry gives them
away and the natives are clever in
shooting them.

MOTMOT
(Eumdmotd supercilious)

The red-backed motmot OF Gen.
tral America, from Yucatan to
Costa Rica, is an exquisitely colored
bird. The male wears q coat Of
brilliant grass green with q mantle
Of cinnamon brown. The wings
and tail are mostly blue. The
cheeks, sides Of throat and neck and
breast are green. There are broad
bands Of white and cobalt blue, and
black throat patch edged With
blue. The female is brighter above,
duller beneath.
The natives call these birds
"bobo," which means stupid"
Motmot is the sound of their call
and no doubt the reason for this
name. They are fearless and rarely
disturbed by the presence OF hu-
mans. 1t is a rather silent bird,
solitary in habit and not very in
dustriouS. Apparently 1t prefers to
sit and daydream, for its attitude
resembles one mediating or dream
ing through the hours.
In the species known as racket
motmot, the two middle tail feath-
ers project beyond the others and
have the greater part of the shaft
bare, though terminating in q
spoon-shaped expansion. This Is
not so unusual. for there are racket
tailed birds; what is unusual is that
the feathers OF these birds are en-

Roosevelt Radio Talk
On Home-Front Facts
Urged by Radcliffe
Senator Sees President,
Recommends Benson
For Revenue Post
BULLETIN.

President Roosevelt this
afternoon parted a question
as to whether he would follow
the advice of administration
advisers and go on the air for
a discussion of home front
problems.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat,
of Maryland today urged Presi-
dent Roosevelt to go on the air
for discussion of home front
matters to offset the unfavorable
impression he believes is being
created in the country by reports
of pickering here.
Leaving the White House, Sena-
tor Radcliffe said he had advocated
such a course because he feels some
persons believe the publicized rows
ARE a summary of what's going on
here" in the whole governmental
field and that constructive efforts
are being overlooked.
The Marylander expressed the
opinion ''the people would be ire
mendously interested" in a speech
ny the President. He pointed out
that Prime Minister Churchill has
found that periodic reports to the
British public are valuable.
Asked if the President was favor
able to the proposal, which Senator
Radcliffe said he had made on pre-
vious occasions, the Senator laughed
and replied that The certainly
wasn't combative."
Senator Radcliffe said he also
called at the White House to rec
ommend Murray Benson, city So
licitor of Baltimore, as collector of
internal revenue of this district, in
place of M. Hampton Magruder,
who is retiring because Of i'll health.
Senator Radcliffe said he and
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land, are united behind Mr.. Ben
sons candidacy and he felt he
would make a good official. While
there has been at least one pub
lished report that Mr.. Benson was
antagonistic to the administration,
Senator Radcliffe said that this is
unfounded.

President Roosevelt regards
the urgent deficiency bill rider
limiting the conditions for en-
ployment of three Government
workers as an unwarranted en-
croachment on the prerogatives
Of both the executive and judi
cial branches of the Govern
ment. He would have vetoed the
measure if it had not provided
funds vitality needed for the war
effort, he told his press confer
ence this afternoon.
The individuals in question are
Robert Morss Lovett. Government
secretary to the Virgin Islands;
Goodwin B. Watson and william E.
Dodd, jr.. employees of the Federal
Communications Commission. They
must &C off of the Federal payroll
on November Is, unless they are APP
pointed by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate.
Rider Was Compromise.
The House moved to GUST the trio
on the ground that they had been
identified with subversive movements
but the Senate refused to go along
on the ground that the men had not
had a fair trial. AS a compromise
the rider was adopted which bars
their employment in the Govern
ment unless the specified procedure
is followed.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who indicated he
felt very strongly about the matter.
said he proposed to send message
to Congress when it reconvenes. ex-
planning his attitude
He said he could not yield in this
instance without placing his views
on record, declaring that he not
only believed the rider was uncon-
stitutional. but that it was def
nitely Objectionable
He declined to say whether the
men would be reappointed. amplify-
ing that he would let the matter
stand just where he had put it by
his statement.
Hits Punishment Without Trial.
He said there had been no sug-
geStion that these men had not
been loyal to the Government. and
added that similar action might
have been taken with regards to
other Federal personnel-even
members of the Supreme Court,
which he said would be an inter-
esting idea, or members of the cabi-
net.
The Supreme Court has defined a
bill of attainder as inflicting punish
ment without judicial trial, and this,
the President indicated, is what he
believes has been done in this in
