jim BISHOP
Hague Ordered:
Hop the Fence

The meeting was called for
noon. The square office was
filled with politicians. The
sign on the outer door said,
Law Offices, Eggers g.
Baer," but the practice of
law was secondary to politics.
The men we're rudy and
well fed, and they sat on
leather sofas, in wing chairs.
and on window lodges with
their backs to Journal
Square.
Frank Eggers sat behind
the desk. 1t was heavy with
stacks Of newspapers yet to
be clipped. He was a roly-
poly man, a nephew of Frank
Hague, and. like most of the
others. second generation
Irish. He had been mayor for
a time. but his uncle had
tried to read John v. Kenny
out Of the party, and Kenny
had turned on the boss and
had taken over city hall.
Theodore Baer was there.
He was tall, slender and pale,
with wavy hair and whispery
voice. His work was behind
the-scenes. Victor Manning,
young. dark and optimistic,
sat studying his ~fingernails.
He was Hague's press agent.
A fat man named Tumulty
was in a deep chair. He was
a wit, an orator, and he had
held so many offices that
only his family knew how to
address him.
Representative Eddie Hart
sat alone. He had been
through many of these secret
meetings. They were all alike.
The boss always came in
wearing a gray fedora with
brim up. a high stiff collar,
and pale blue eyes which
missed nothing. The fist al
ways pounded the desk.
We're taking over . you
do this and you over
there, get the lead out d.
this fellow hasn't got a thing
on the ball here's what
/ want you to do :"
ELMER WE'VE sat doing.
He was the outsider. He came
from downstate and he was
running for governor. He had
the intellect of a chicken
plucker which, in a way. he
was. He owned a poultry
hatchery. State Senator Ed
ward O'Mara said nothing.
Hague came through the
door without knocking. He
was the last of the dictatorial
bosses In American politics.
He had been vice chairman
Of the Democratic National
Committee. Once. he had
said, Il am the law
and the newspapers never
permitted him to forget It.
He spoke fast and tough.
I've been beaten for the
first time In my life /.
Kenny is running City Hall.
He's going to run the
county too. Now here's
what I want you to do: Hop
the fence. Go over TO Kenny.
:" He waved the protests
into silence. IF you want TO
stay in politics. you guys.
you've got TO go where the

O'Mara, State Senator. was
the last to stand. Sorry" he
said, I'm not hopping the
fence"
Hague's tone became icy.
Eddie" he said, you'll do
as I say" O'Mara shook his
head. mot this time, he said.
Il wouldn't be anywhere If it
hadn't been for you, and I'm
not deserving now. If the
organization falls apart. and
there's nobody left but the
two of us-well, there will be
two Of u.s." Hague clustered.
He shouted. O'Mara was UNI
moved. He stayed.
THE MEETING was Of
small Importance to the ma
ton. 1t involved one boss in
one city in one State. One
small politician showed great
integrity. Loyalty, in politics,
is unbecoming. O'Mara, to
my knowledge, never said a
word against Hague's enemy.
But he never left Hague
either.
Ironically. the meeting
didn't matter at all. They
died with monotonous regu-
larity; Hague Eggers
Baer Manning Wene
E. Hart. A few weeks ago, I
read a small obituary. It said
that one-time Senator Ed
ward OMara had died.
There, my friends, was a
man.

power lies the power is
with that fella. I don't
want arguments. This is
an order. :"
The shock wave could be
felt in the streets. The men
sat stunned. Some protested.
Some sat looking at the floor.
I'm November" Hague said,
we're putting Elmer here in
as governor. Let Kenny have
the county. Well take the
State"
Hague did not realize that
the day Of the Big Boss was
over. He did not know that,
already, he was a small foot
note to American political
history.
One by one, the politicians
agreed to HOP the fence"
They did not know that, not
only were their political lives
short, but also their personal
lives. Hague shook hands with
them one by one. Edward

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CAN HE'LL

#e#A3II Z8I@fII &IA# f0|.@ &6HrH#
ANY PROGRAM which lends assistance to the economic
structure Of these Islands is an important one, and the Small
Business Administration promises to rank high on the list. At
last a governmental bureau, designed specifically to aid small
business is stationed here, and its presence can materially
change the picture of small business.
WHILE IT is true that big business is important, and in
many instances, carries responsibility for. large-scale employ
ment and production, it is nevertheless true that small bust
ness has very definite role to play. Individually these bust
nesses may not seem impressive, but the aggregate of their
effort is considerable, and would create a void if they were
to fall by the wayside.
TIME WAS when these Islands had nothing, or little else
than the small business. Citizens ran small shops OF all kinds,
and in fact, as a result practically all products were handmade,
which called for tradesmen performing their functions day in
and day out. If a man needed a suit, he would 60 to his tailor,
and the same was true of shoes, and everything else.
BUT IN THIS modern day, technology has taken over,
and mass production. is the accepted order. Yet, there can be
no denying the small business, which not only affords ivei-
hood to a great many people, but fills a most important role
in the economic picture. These businesses, like all others, have
felt the pinchtof changing times, and government today, be-
ing what it is, has stepped inwith an answer.
H HOPE here is that small businessmen will not hesi-
tate to turn to the Small Business Administration for whatever
help may be necessary. As is to b~e.expected in all such mat
tiers, there will no doubt be a certain amount of red tape, but
that is all part of the picture, and those who need the help
should look to the final result.
H SMALL BUSINESS Administration has place,
and a contribution to make. 1t is for us to accept andsmake
good use Of its valuable services.

SEAMS TO ME

er. before they grow wider.
This leaves them with many
dresses too short at the hem
and too short-waiSted to be
worn. Here are two ways Of
adding life to dresses by add
ing trim to the hem edge and
using the original hem turn
under for a waist insert.
For eyelet ruffled trimmed
dresses, the best width Of
ruffling is 2 or ia inches.
The number Of ruffled rows
you use Deepen s on how
mu c h the dress must be
heightened.
You'll need: White percale
or lawn for hem band; eye
let ruffling; rickrack or braid
in color; trim for bodice, If
desired.
!. Cut fabric strips and
seam into band. Band
length: The distance around
hem. Band width: Present
hem depth plus desired add
ed dress length.
2. Turn one edge Of band
under 4-inch and top stitch
for hem edge. Stitch ruffling
to band, with lower edge COW
ering band hem. Second row
should cover u to u Of the
first row. The same If more
rows are used.
8. Cut off present hem in
dress. Stitch colored rickrack
or braid to raw hem edge.
Fold top edge of band "a
towards the right side and
press.
A. With very small stitches,
hand stitch trimmed band to
upper edge Of dress hem.
5. Rip bodice from skirt.
Attach hem strip you cut off,
to skirt and bodice for waist
insert. If you wish, stitch
eyelet ruffling around top Of
bodice forming yoke. Top
stitch same trim used as on
skirt over ruffling heading as
shown in sketch.
Dress with plain border:
You'll need solid color fabric
to CO ordinate with dress.
For amount: Add present
hem depth to added length.
New border is double fabric,
so double above measurement
and add one inch. Strips this
width are scanned together to
equal distance around hem;
rickrack in contrasting color
for distance around hem, plus
accent on sleeves.
/. With right sides togeth-
er, stitch band to skirt just
above original hem turn. Cut
away present hem.
2. Press band toward hem.
Press bottom edge under "
inch. Press band under half
the width, and so it covers
the seam allowance on the
wrong side.
3. Stitch rickrack over seam
on right side to act as trim
and to cover pieced seam, and
to stitch hem In place.
4. If desired, add a band
of the same pieced fabric to
sleeves and trim with rick
rack, as shown.
