Shaver Resignation
Spurs Demand for Full
Probe in Bratten Case
By Robert X. Welsh

| The resignation Of Charles D
Shaver as Senate Small Business
Committee counsel increased
rather than lessened congressional
demands today for an all-out in
vestigation of any part he and
Mrs. Flo Bratten may have had
in RFC loan matters.
Mrs. Bratten, Vice President
Barkley's secretary, conferred with
Mr.. Barkley for almost an hour
yesterday about visits she and Mr.
Shaver made last year to several
RFC officials in connection with
$1.1 million loan for a projected
luxury hotel in Florida.
The Vice President told report
ers later that he was reserving
judgment on whether to retain
Mrs. Bratten, whom he described
as a trusted, efficient employe.' .
He announced he has notified
Senator Hoey, Democrat, of North
Carolina, chairman of the Senate
Investigations subcommittee, that
he would "co-operate fully" in any
investigation undertaken by that
group.
Resignation Accepted.
Mr.. Shaver's resignation. effec-
tive October 81, was disclosed late
yesterday and promptly accepted
by Senator Sparkman. Democrat.
of Alabama, chairman of the
Small Business Committee. In a
letter to Senator Sparkman, Mr.
Shaver said, Il feel that recent
public criticism has impaired my
usefulness to the committee"
He and Mrs. Bratten have de-
MED that their calls or visits to
RFC amounted to anything more
than requests for information
about the status of loans.
Senator Nixon. Republican, OF
California. a member of the in
vestigations subcommittee, de-
.clared today the resignation OF
Mr.. Shaver gave no reason fol
ending the preliminary inquiry
started earlier this week by the
subcommittee staff. He called fol
a "full-scale inquiry and public
hearings" He urged this "in fair
ness to every one concerned"
To Examine Records,
;, The subcommittee received
prompt permission yesterday from
'iRFC Administrator w. Stuarr
iSymington to examine agency
records that might indicate an,
activities by Mr.. Shaver or Mrs
Bratten in connection with tht
loan for a projected Chalfontt
Hotel at Miami Beach and {
1925 900 loan for the Mercury
) Record Co.
I Subcommittee sources indicated
they will not stop with study O
: those loans. both of which wer.
approved by RFC directors las
year but never paid out. Investi
: gators want to determine particu
, larly whether unusual or unex
plained fees figured in any sucl
loan applications.

MARMALADE.

| From Mrs. G.. S. W.. WGshingtonJ
The cause of the peel being hard
and tough in homemade orange
lmarmalade is probably due to the
fact that you add sugar before
boiling the fruit. Making really
satisfactory orange marmalade Is
la three-day job. Cut fruit one day
land soak overnight in the pre-
Iscribed amount of cold water II
Iuse two and one-half times as
much water as fruit; the second
day boil about 10 minutes or until
the rind can be pierced with a
silver fork and soak another
might: the third morning add a
cup of sugar for each cup Of fruit
and juice and cook until it jellies
slightly on a cold plate. Seal at
once In sterilized glasses.
This marmalade is very nice
made with one lemon. one orange
and one grapefruit. the yield for
this amount being from 8 to 10
jelly glasses, depending on the size
of the fruit. 1t may be made en-
tirely from any one of the citrus
fruits or any desired proportion
of two or three. to suit individual
taste. If very bitter marmalade
lis desired use larger proportion of
grapefruit; if a mild one is liked
use half a grapefruit or none at all
I consider this recipe foolproof
if directions are followed. But do
not try to shorten the process.
The only person to whom I have
given it that failed attempted to
make it in one day and she re-
ported that the pieces of fruit
were hard as a rock.

You could hardly be human anC
not want to be looked up to by
the people among whom you cir
culate. Every one wishes to be
thought of as noble in character
and worthy of respect.
It is an accolade that more peo-
pile could enjoy, if they devoted
la reasonable amount of time to
fulfilling the obligations which
such a position in any group en-
tails.
The French have a phrase
which expresses such responsi-
|bility perfectly "noblesse oblige. y
There is no exact counterpart of
this expression in our language.
but the implication is the "no-
bility of birth makes nobility or
magnanimity towards others obli-
gatory." In this changing world,
the meaning has broadened to
signify the obligation of any self
respecting person to accord noble
and generous treatment to all
Others.
Can you count "noblesse oblige''
as one of your basic characters

Isiderate of people whom you never
again expect to see as you are of

have much to gain. You can, if
you are as well hammered on the

than what you can gain) are al

A Calm
Spirit
ByAnqeIo Potri

Mothers should never cry In the
presence Of their children. This
is particularly important when the
children are in trouble. When
Junior breaks the neighbor's win
dow. or steals an organge from
the fruit vendor. or otherwise dis
turbs the peace. he lis really in
trouble within himself and is look
ing for strength on which he can
lean hard. The first one he looks
to is his mother.
When mother stands up tall,
looks fit and able to handle any
thing from an angry neighbor to
an invading army, Junior takes
heart. He has q friend. He knows
he will be punished some way,
but just the same there is mother
standing like stone wall between
him and the enemy and that's a
wonderful feeling.
When trouble falls on father
and mother, loss of money. death
in the family, a change of some
sort that nobody wants. mother
again must stand up, show a calm
spirit and a serene face SO that
the children feel the strength of
the family upholding them. When
father and mother face what has
come bravely the children can go
ahead on the strength they gather
from that attitude. They can
adjust themselves cheerfully to al
most anything as long as they feel
their father and mother standing
strongly with them.
No family are strangers to grief.
A child goes wrong in spite OF
every effort to direct and hold him
to the better way. Don't cry
Not before him. You may think
he is downright bad. He isn't.
He has done something bad, but
the badness is outside him. In
side he is distressed beyond
measure he needs affection and
above all he needs spiritual
strength His hope for that fades
when he sees the tears on his
mothers or fathers face. IF
We faint in the day of adversity,
your strength is small" and how
can you share it with this needy
one?
Tears are a relief at times.
Crying it out helps lift the pres

Secondly. after the cake was

we found two-tone cake. There
was a bottom layer about % of an

was light and fluffy and delicious.
I imagine it was mostly honey
which sank to the bottom.
