 Modify Agreement

Washington, April 7-,(UP)-The Administration is bliStering in Sllr- prise and anguish today from the terrific hotfoot 1t got from the Hon Jesse Holman Jones.
 Twenty-four hours before the Senate was to begin discussion oi the British loan, MT. Jesse called for reflection or modification of the loan agreement. The men of the Truman administration had just about forgotten that Jones was Still alive or had ever lived here, They are painfully aware of 1t now.
 He was summarily fired from the Cabinet and as federal loan admin- Istrator in January, i046, The late President Roosevelt, who had made considerable use of Jones financial talents officially and for the aSSiSt- ance of members of his family, as well, fired Jones to make good on Q promise to Henry A. Wallace, who succeeded him aS Commerce Sec' retary,
 No Love for Wallace
 Jones does not care for Wallace and he was more than c little afl- rloyed ct the circumstances of his departure and the Identity of hia Cabinet successor. Outraged con- gressional conservatives made sure however, that Wallace would moi also succeed to the vast financial powers of the loan administration.

We thought we had a sponsor, but at the last mo- ment he started worrying how 'con- troversial I am and the project col- lapsed" What Welles did not re- veal was that he has turned down a 26.week series in which he would star as master of ceremonies and dramatic star at a figure five times his current fee for his Sunday quarter-hour of personal comment.

getting cold on the desert, and we
were stranded miles from anywhere.
The car had stopped 1t simply
wouldn't run. Knowing nothing
about motors, we made the futile
gesture of raising the hood and look
at the motor. Neither of us knew
the carburetor from the fan belt but
We felt that we were making the
proper gesture in case any mechan-
ically minded jackrabbits were
snickering at us.
Rock Does the Trick.
The dark and the cold had closed
in, and with only one lap robe in the
car, I knew that my wife was in for
a cold and miserable night If we
had to spend it in the desert. So,
out of consideration for her I
decided on desperate measure. I
searched till I found a big rock,
nearly the size of brick, and with
a tiny oath on my lips, threw the
rock as hard as could at the center
Of the motor.
Just after that my wife stepped
on the starter for the hundreth
time, and the motor never started
more beautifully. We sailed of into
the night, and since then have never
travelled without tool kit filled
with good throwing rocks.
We owe a debt to Rudyard Kip
ling. He departed this life and came
into ours at a time when we really
needed him. We were in California
and had been invited to 60 on
fishing trip into Mexico. But we
were so broke that we couldn't have
bought matching pair Of mackerel
at the market, let alone finance a
junket into Mexico to catch our
own. Then came wire from the

boys in the office in New York with
the news that Kipling had just
passed away, SO we were able to
go on the fishing trip to Mexico,
after all.
In case the connection between
the death of q great Englishman
Of letters and our being able to take
a fishing trip confuses you, let me
explain. We had a pool in our Office
in which all participants drew the
name of some widely known, elderly
gentleman. The man whose elderly
gentleman left this earth first, won
the pool.
ALI But Forgotten.
We had all but foreotten that
I was in the pool, as the state Of
health of George V of England
theld by Stuart Cameron, sports edi-
tori was of concern to the world
at the time. Naturally, I would have
liked to have seen these two fine
men live forever, but as long as one
of them had to be first to 60 to his
reward-well, honesty is the best
policy.
