Opportunity for Pooh-Boh

Prom the Montreal Star.
Fortune-tellers in Japan have decided
to form union. Now that the atomic
age is here" they announce, we feel
1t is necessary that We inform the world
of our 1000 year-old knowledge
There is no indication in the dispatch
announcing this momentous step wheth-
er this is to be a craft or an industrial
union. But unless japanese fortune
teilers are different from fortune-tellers
here it will have to be craft" union.
Such union holds all sorts of delight
full possibilities. Doubtless, one OF its
first moves will be to demand time and
a half for overtime, holidays with pay,
the closed shop and the right to peace
full picketlng." But whom will 1t strike
against? If the spirit refuses to move,
will the fortune-tellers strike against
the spirit? If the crystal ball refuses to
reflect the future, or the cards neglect
to indicate the tall, dark man" will the
fortune -tellers parade before their own
establishments with placards advertising
the unfairness of the spirit, OF the stub
bornness of the cards?
What an opportunity for pooh-bah
Petrillo! The boss of such union could
withhold the future from anybody.

Wallace Not Trying
To RuIIy Followers
Will Start Speaking Soon, but
Is Proceeding Warily
Bu Doris FEeeSon


The devoted disciples of Henry WAL
lace who intend to keep him In the
public eye so they can run him for
President in '48 have not yet solved the
mechanics of their program.
AS has been rather thoroughly DEM
onstrated, Mr. Wallace is not man who
fits into patterns. No organizations
have offered him directorships and he
is not likely to tie himself to any
project if they do.
The Wallaces have been living quietly
in their sWardman Park apartment,
preparing for the marriage yesterday
of their daughter Jean.
Keeping to his self-made promise not
to make any speeches until after the
Paris Conference ends, Mr.. Wallace
starts on the road october 18. He will
60 then into Michigan and try to rescue
as many congressman as possible.
Mr.. Wallace is under no economic
pressure to get job to replace his Cabi-
net salary, and his acceptance Of the
editorship Of the New Republic probably
was prompted by the opportunities 1t
holds for obtaining compact audience.
The Iowa visionary" developed mil
lion-dollar hybrid corn business and he
is the scion of an always-prosperous
family. Associates estimate his incocme
is we'll above $25 1000 annually; perhaps
$4,000 and upward.
While Mr. Wallace is not the type who
rushes out to pick up any quick and
easy money that may be in sight, he is
personally frugal with his own funds.
He has shown no disposition to hire
secretarial staff or set up Offices to
handle mail, callers. requests for appear
ances, etc., that deluge a man in his
position.
After he had resigned, attaches at the
Department of Commerce were airily
told by him to refer his telephone calls
to his Wardman Park apartment As
staggering number were still coming in,
they felt this was a little unrealistic,
but Wallace was sure 1t would be okay.
Another burning question was what
to do about the $4,000 letters and wires
that deluged the department during
the great controversy. 1t was decided
that since the speech and letter to the
President were official Department Of
Commerce releases, it would be proper
to frank them to all who asked for
copies and this is being done.
*kx
AS Mr.. Wallace has been in the Gov
ernment, either in the cabinet or as Vice
President, ever since he came into ma
tional prominence. he has never had to
bother with secretarial mechanics. In
time some kind of political organization
will be set up for him.
His political manager" and former
solicitor, Harold Young, will be on hand
to help. He is opening law Office here.
None of the Wallace aides in Com
merce are being rushed out but most
of them are looking for new spots in the
Government or in private business. The
experience of one of them indicates
why they remain incredibly loyal to him.
This unfortunate, caught in marital
mixup, went to Mr. Wallace to offer his
resignation. He showed the then Sc
cretary a newspaper heading blaring:
Wallace Aide Sued" Mr.. Wallace
glanced at it thoughtfully.
you know how that will read In that
paper if you resign?" he asked. ut will
say, Wallace Aide Sued I'll see you
tomorrow"

Farm Parity
Off OPA Bill

Washington, Apr. 10-AP--A ma
jor threat to passage of an OPA
bill acceptable to the Administra-
tion lifted today. Farm state legis-

prices by including in them the
cost Of farm labor. Parity Is a for.
mula designed to keep farmers
buying power on an even keel.
Pace told newsmen he had de-
cided against trying to tie the mea-
ure TO the OPA legislation. Stimuli
taneously. however, he disclosed
an alternate plan to press for pas
sage Of his proposal.
The Georgian reported he would
attempt not only to link 1t with
pending mini um wage legislation,
as the Senate did last week. but al
so with other bills that come up. "
He declined at this time TO name
the other measures. His comment
came after the Rules Committee
voted to send his bill to the House
