During that whole period, this column appeared as it was pre- sented. There were no changes, no omissions, no substitutionS. Frank O'Brien and James Craig, my lm- mediate editors, were inspiring, stimulating, interested.
 In 1914, King Features invited me to join their syndicate. They of fered an attractive arrangement, but one condition was that l leave the Sun and go to the Journal-Am- erican. I could not leave the Sun. It had opened its doors to me when was in need of shelter.
 And the Journal-American agreed that sometimes such considerations of sentiment were as valuable as material compensation.
 Provision was then made in my contract that if ever l left the
 Sun, or the Sun left me, the Jour nal-American would have first re- luodl LII lily oShFASSo'
 And the other day, the Sun left me. Without warning or notice, l found myself without forum, with
 out the familiar few inches of friendly, usual, homely space into which I could pile my words and ideas. I had left a company of friends, Tom Dewart. Ed Friendly, Keats Speed, and so many others with whom I had formed close as- sociations. For the moment, it was even too shocking to cry.
 And now I have found new home; but it is not an altogether strange one. For five years, even while was with the Sun, my col umn appeared in many Hearst pa- pers and in more than 250 others. It will take time to become accus- toned to a new and different home, particularly for one who shudders at the passing of glorious institu- tions that have survived wars and depressionS and the ephemeral changes of fashion and taste.
 The Sun did manage to survive all these for more than century, but it could not somehow fight off high costs and high taxes and

 Hoover's FBI is now probing charges that the Schriber contract ing Company of Washington, which did the paint job under conditions rivaling a circus thriller, violated it's contract by using sprayer in- stead of hand brushes. The charges were made by two other contractors who lost out in the bidding, and who contend that
 the spraying effected big saving to l the Schriber Company unwarranted

 He explains that, with Lynn's ap- proyal, he used sprayer only on the coffered surface of the lofty dome, where it was necessary to get into crevices and cornices which wouldn't take a hand brush. Schriber bid an amazingly low ! $26,000 for the job, more than Sl6,- 900 under the next low bidder and i S37,775 under the highest of eight l, bidders--so the taxpayers didn't
 lose. The contractor attributes his

reduced income. It was a small business and perhaps it had to go in this era when politicians prattle about small business and set the stage for thar destruction.
 And so, it will not appear any more. And it will not be possible to say proudly: What, the Sun for safe? Sure! Five cents on any newsstand" Nol It was not like that vixen the Sun was sold and closed down.
 Yet. old institutions leave in their wake a memory, an inspiration, love. Nobody who ever worked on the Sun will forget it's instinct for good English, its adherence to ac- curacy, it's political independence. Nor can anyone ever associated with its quiet and maybe old-fash- toned ways forget it's taste for de- cency and its uncompromising pur- suit of just causes.
 It was a good association and in it's spirit, it will ever remain and shine for those who were once of it's company.
 And this I must hope: That those who, over the years, read my words, with approval or even in an- noyance, will not forget me in my new address, that they will come with me to the Journal-American, where I shall be as free and unfet- tered as I was on the Sun. I know that I shall find a comfortable hap piness here, and I invite my friends to come with me.

LAST DAYS OF THE N. Y. SU.

LAST DAYS OF THE N. Y. SUN
 The New York Sun recently ceas- ing publication was as much a tra- dition as a newspaper, as much a
 thing of the spirit as of newsprint and printers ink. It lived for nearly IT years. It used to be called a |newspaperman's newspaper, the one he took home to read
 Somehow, in all the drift of ru- nor, I could not believe that it would ever disappear. Yet, as I look from my window, I can see the ground where only few months ago stood the mansion of Charles SchWab, built for all time. And a few months ago, my own mother passed to her ancestors. People and
 institutions, high hopes and great spirits serve their time and purpose and pass away to be mourned as they were loved-never to be for gotten. The sun still shines in our memories.
 My own association with the New York Sun was a curious one and bears repeating at such a mo- ment as this. A writer must be
 read. And I was up in the country on my farm when it came to me, one summers day in 1940, as It did recently to so many of my col leagues on the Sun, that I had no place.
 telephoned to Bill DeWart of the Sun and told him that I wanted to write for his paper After a short conversation about the nature of my column, we agreed to start on this new career for me. I was to come to New York to arrange the terms. It was a hot summer and I delayed the trip, but I sent copy and it was printed.
 We never talked about terms We never had contract. In due course, weekly checks began to arrive in the mail. We never referred to them. I was on the Sun eight years with never a business con- versation.
