Ickes Again Bursts Into Print. eee Washington, June 1—The army, which vies with the navy in encouraging glamorous martial stunts for the newsreels, balks at permitting reminders of war’s horrors. Seventy thousand World War photographs are lock- ed in the steel filing cases of the Signal Corps. But when the senate munitions committee decided it might be interesting to observe the effects of munitions—upon what some of its members sometimes grimly call the ultimate consumer—and sought the privilege of inspec- tion, the War Department balked more violently than at any previous time in the investigation. Secretary Dern wrote, with sufficient curtness to annoy certain senators, that a “representative collection will be prepared” by army officers and brought to Capitol Hill by a captain. The photos wouldn’t be allowed out of his custody and couldn’t be reproduced in any way—a provision by which Dern squelched the possibility that the commit- tee might present a pictorial supplement to emphasize its recommendations, Dern specified: “Pictures of the dead of possible identification are not made available to scrutiny.” Protest may be made against this censorship—on the ground that the photos are public property. TOO MUCH, TOO LITTLE Congressman Thomas R. Amile of Wisconsin: “Altogether, the AAA program has resulted in re- tirement from production of 45,000,000 acres of land. At the same time, it is estimated that two school children out of every five in America are suffering from undernourishment.” BULLITT EYES PARIS POST Diplomatic rumors are as unreliable as any other type, but friends of Ambasasdor Bill Bullitt at Moscow report that the young negotiator of Russian-American recognition would like to be transferred to the embassy at Paris. Bullitt doesn’t get along very well with Foreign Com- missioner Litvinov. That’s hardly surprising. In the abortive trade-debt negotiations following recognition, Litvinov insisted that the Soviet government had been Promised a large cash loan from this country. Bullitt and Roosevelt—the only other persons present at the time of the verbal agreement as alleged by Litvinov —denied that.

He tells how this unground wheat is used in his home: Put such quantity as desired (not too much, for it swells in cooking) in water and.boil for 5 minutes. Then let it stand from 12 to 24 hours, After this long soaking boil on moderate fire till soft as desired. (The preliminary boiling is to prevent fermentation.) Keep it in the ice-box and heat up as required, and it will be found one of the finest, most palatable, satisfy- ing and healthful breakfast dishes in the world. And its cost is little, I have suggested that wheat may be ground in the ordinary coffee mill.

The behind-the-door explanation among American diplomats is that Russia, soon after recognition, became much less worried over prospects of war with Japan and seriously concerned over the threats of Hitler in Chrysippus, Greek philosopher, never interrupted his studies for the sake of eating; attendants forced food into his mouth to keep him from starving. [in As this is written little George Weyer- fhaeuser, one of the heirs to the great lumber domain built by his grandfather, has not been returned to his family. There is no assurance OLITICS that he will be, for not all of the children taken fin the snatch racket have been returned home. The most conspicuous example, of course, is Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., of whose abduction end murder Bruno Richard Hauptmann, immi- grant German carpenter, stands convicted. Hauptmanrr is in the death cell awaiting either a reprieve or execution. The latter seems more likely. That was the first—and the worst—of the child kidnapings in the modern manner. It came in 1982. In 1933 little Peggy McMath was taken from her home in Massachusetts. Her abduc- tors were captured, now are serving life terms in prison. The year 1934 brought six-year-old June Robles into the limelight. Held prisoner in the France rather than the previously planned rapproch- ment with the United States—and is credited with caus- ing Litvinov’s change of front. Reports continue that Ambassador Jesse Straus at Paris will resign. Bullitt, a millionaire, could afford to take the job. eee SEE JAPAN IN ‘THE WOODPILE’ Many officials here also credit an inside story which says Japan is the bug under the chip in Italy's current war preparations against Ethiopia. England, alarmed by expanding Japanese cotton operations in that African empire, is supposed to have influenced Mussolini—at least to the extent of looking benevolently upon his plans. Japanese cotton raised in Abyssinia competes di- rectly with Egyptian cotton and London has no relish for a Japanese intrusion into its sphere of influence around the Suez Canal. (This story is easier to hear here than to confirm.) ee ICKES CUTS LOOSE AGAIN The next book by Secretary Ickes will be. more sensational than his last, which fizzled. It will be called “Back to Work: The Story of PWA,” and will roast for- desert for days and tortured by deprivation, she finally was rescued without payment of ransom. Her alleged abductors are awaiting trial. “Egoist-Egoist” is the name signed to the ransom notes in the Weyerhaeuser case, indi- cating that the master mind guiding that crime fis proud of his mentality. He may have reason |® to be but unless he has better luck than the others have had he may some day wonder if he fis so smart after all.

By inference, Ickes will also take a few slams at Harry Hopkins and others in the administration who he feels hold to unworkable theories and to what he considers the mistaken idea of large government spend- ing without tangible return.

Time and Memory How time dulls interest in public events is aptly Sllustrated by the decision of the United States supreme | e Bringing Back World Trade (Minneapolis Tribune) Some trained observers have been quick to see in|® Secretary Hull’s recent call for closer co-operation among the nations of the world in reviving international trade an overture toward another: international con- ference. Whether or not they are correct is open to question, since the secretary said nothing definite about such a conference. It can hardly be denied, however, court in the case of William E. Humphrey, a member of the federal trade commission, who was removed on Octo- ~tper 8, 1933, for no reason other than that his presence on. that important board did not fit in with the plans of the Bdministration. “There was much to-do and great speculation about the case at the time. Humphrey, who since has died, announced that he would appeal the case to the courts nd in fact moved to do so. The executor of his estate carried on after his death to collect the $3,043 which he ‘would have collected in salary had he remained on the $ob from the time of his removal until his death on Feb. 14 of this year. The case was expected to become one of the major tests of the New Deal, since it involved the important principle of whether an executive was all-powerful or just another official subject to direction by the law. Yet, ‘when the decision was handed down, obscured by those invalidating the NRA and the Frazier-Lemke acts, most folks had to stop and search their minds to remember what it was all about. Things have been happening so fast in Washington and the nation and so much addi- tional water has gone over the dam that it was difficult to recall that first floating chip which heralded the @pproach of a flood of new activity. Schools on Defensive Dr. Edwin C. Broome, superintendent of schools in Philadelphia, tells the National Society of New England that “there seems to be a country-wide movement” to discredit the school system, on the ground that it is largely responsible for the high cost of government. ‘The warning is well-timed. Our school system 1s expensive; granted. It may be that a judicious pruning of the budget here and there would be a good thing. But in the main, the taxpayer gets more for his money in the-educational system than he does in any other single ax-supportea venture. ‘To reduce the cost of government, attack first waste- ful and inefficient political control. See that the s0- called “honest graft”—as well as the other kind—is elim- fnated, and that men are elected who will make some effort to do away with favoritism in government. Strictly adhered to, such program would sharply feduce taxes and still eave us able to support the schools * in the style our children deserve.

For one thing, every president is especially particular, for obvious rea- sons, about retaining what control he can over his party in his home state. New York's voting strength in nation- al conventions and in the electoral college is so great that no president coming up for re-election would want, to disregard local developments there. Furthermore, Mr. Roosevelt has three New Yorkers in his cabinet. One of them, Postmaster General Farley, happens to be the Roosevelt campaign manager and also the Dem- ocratic state chairman. The other two — Secretaries Morgenthau and Perkins—never have been especially active in New York politics, but their cabinet rank makes them factors in whatever readjustment may take place. Altogether, it may be taken for granted that everything affecting the New York Democratic situation will be weighed very carefully in the high- est political precincts in the national capital. xk * A Possible Line-Up Although Governor Lehman says he has reached no decision about run- ning for re-election in 1936, there are rather plain indications he may elim- inate himself as a candidate. Some of the governor's friends think he would rather be secretary of the treasury than governor. He is ® business man of long experience, very well thought of by Mr. Roose- velt. Many people think Farley wants to be governor. He is expected to leave the cabinet after congress ad- journs, and manage the Roosevelt campaign for re-election. But he still that if Secretary Hull saw any possibility of gaining anything from such a conference, and felt the time was ripe, he would be the first to favor the idea. Secretary Hull’s diligent efforts to rescue something from the last economic conference and his internationalist point of view are well known. ‘That an international economic parley which really got down to business could accomplish much in beha}f of world commercial relations is generally condeded, But whether a conference which would face realities in a manner which would make co-operation possible can be assembled at this particular time, or within the immed- iate future, is another matter. The suspicion is strong that political as well as economic conditions and differ- ences among nations would still be a barrier to a worth while agreement, much as they were when the London conference was in session. ‘Unsettling factors which are barriers to the revival of world trade and which require some sort of inter- national agreement for their removal are present today in abundance. Reputedly the most serious of these is the unsettled state in which world currencies are now being kept by the almost universal departure from a free gold standard. Perhaps no less unsettling is the lack of confidence which most nations seem to feel in one an- other. The uncertainty as to what the other fellow may be going to do leaves every nation struggling to gain az much advantage for itself as it can. ‘The lowering of tariffs, elimination of other trade restrictions, adjustment of governmental debts, elimina- tion of exchange restrictions, and the like are all intim- ately related phases of the same problem of restoring more normal world trade relationships. That these are all pre-eminently questions whose answer might well be furthered through a world conclave may be granted, but it must be apparent that before normal trade can be restored the peoples of the world must enjoy more pur- chasing power than they have in recent years as well as possess the desire to satisfy additional wants through mu- tual exchange with other nations. It may be argued that the first step is to remove the unsettling political restrictions which have placed world trade in a strait jacket, and that with considerable point, but the fact temains that these other factors are no less fundamental and are not likely to respond to an international con- ference alone.

The ane term of Comptroller- General >McCarl expires in 1936, and he is ineligible for reappointment. The duties of this position include responsibility for various fiscal de- cisions, in addition to auditing the government's expenditures. Morgen- thau has been discussed as a pos- sible successor to McCarl, and he might fit in. So one possible shift would be to make Morgenthau comptroller-gen- eral, Lehman secretary of the treas- ury, and Farley candidate for gov- ernor. * ke There’s Tammany, Too Of course @ great many other com- binations also have been suggested, and apparently no final decision is in Prospect for weeks, or perhaps months; but no one on the inside doubts that whatever is done finally at Albany will dovetail with a larger scheme centering in Washington and probably involving some changes in important federal jobs. ‘The ever-present Tammany situa- tion explains in large part why the approach of both Washington and Albany to this problem is being made’ 80 cautiously, It appears that the White House had not got along quite so well with the Tiger as many expected when Tammany leadership was changed some months ago. Tammany men in the state legislature walked out on Lehman's (really Roosevelt's) re-dis- tricting plan, and that hurt tremen- it is hard to believe anything will be done finally without some consider- tion of how it will strike Smith.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX FTER the fog the morning was crisp and cool and invigorat- ing. There was a blue sky, high ruffled clouds, and a breeze blow- ing over the harbor. Katharine dressed hurriedly, after her shower, eager to be out and away. Ellen brought her a tray because the others were not yet stirring. There was crisp toast and clear coffee and strips of bacon under a silver bell. “Oh, Ellen, this is a divine breakfast.” “You've got your appetite back, Miss. That's what it is.” “Dr. Kaye packing?” “I think he is, Miss. I heard him moving around in the gunroom.” Bertine had put John in the gun- room, half a flight up, because she sald it was quieter. Well, Kath- arine had said goodby to John last night; it would spoil things—be an anti-climax—if she saw him again now. Better slip away without saying a word. “Oh, beautiful day!” almost sang it aloud. Her car purred under her touch. Funny, some days the motor ran better than others. Cars were like people—moody! morn! Michael!” “Mornin’, Miss Strykhurst!” He stood, smiling at her easily, one hand braced against the rail fence which bordered the meadow of the old Rogers place. “I thought I'd ride,” Katharine said demurely. “Oh, splendid.

They rode together, as before. Katharine chatted lightly and Michael Heatheroe answered. Once or twice his great laugh rang out. He went ahead when the bridle path narrowed, glancing back over his shoulder to see if Fury behaved well. “She's a bit skittish today.” “Oh, she's all right, really,” Kath- arine protested. eee SHE thought of Zoe and the fever she had suffered the night be- fore. She thought of Gibbs Larkin with his bold, exploring dark eyes and the thickening line of his whist, his too-soft, too-intimate voice. “All right?” That was Michael's ‘ “Bring Fury out, will It was able to ride with Sally Moon. voice. He kad gone on rather far ahead and she, had lost sight of him. She hallooed back reassur- ingly. “All right back here. . .” He waited at the turn of the path, glancing at the watch strapped to his wrist. “We'd better turn back. an appointment at nine.” Sally Moon! Well, what of it? But Katharine’s exaltation was gone for the instant. The morn- ing had a cloud upon it. “Watch out for that dog,” Michael warned as the path wound again into the open clearing, Tac- ing which one lone white house stared down into the fertile valley. The terrier which had bothered Fury on the ride down was sitting on the bank, watching, sharp-eyed for his enemy. ‘At first sight of the riders, the small brown dog hurled himeelf like a streak down the precipitous slope, through thorn and berry bushes, to yelp frantically at Fury’s very heels. The little mare began to dance. She had done this before and Michael, at some pains, had quieted ber. But now her nervous gait in- creased and she deserved her nam Michael, wheeling Prince Charlie, made for Fury’s bridle—missed it. Katharine was not conscious of fear.

From a long way off, a voice reached her. “My darling!” Michael's voice. Michael's strong arms lifting her,. carrying her.

The little girls stood staring, all flyaway blond hair and bare, sunbrowned legs. “Bring her up to our house,” the woman said. To the dog, who had ceased to bark and now cowered the hedges, she said ‘Bad Sandy! Bad boy!” “He'll be punished for this, he knows that,” she told them, lead- ing the procession. Katharine closed her eyes again. The truckman had gone to hold Prince Charlie's bri- dle. Some men down by the River Road had stopped Fury. It was very pleasant to be carried thus. Michael’s arms were strong and gentle. Katharine opened her eyes again. They were going up the steps of the white house now. Michael was passing through a doorway. The remodeled farmhouse was com- fortable in a homely way. Michael went up a flight of steps and the woman directed him to lay Katha- rine on a bed. The woman bent toward her anx- iously. “I'll call my doctor,” she sald in s gentle voice. “Are you very much hurt?” “I—I don't believe so,” Katharine said faintly. “Your head's all right?” Michael knelt down by the bed when Mrs. Merser. went to telephone, They could hear her calling Dr. Cart- wright down in the village. “My boots will soil the spread,” Katharine whispered. It was pleas- ant, having Michael so worried Now he wouldn't be with Sally Moon.

But his tone boded ill for Fury. Maybe she hadn’t dreamed it, after all; maybe he had actually called her “my darling.” Presently Dr. Cartwright came and examined her. “She's had a nasty shock,” he said, “but she seems to have come through it all right. You're a very lucky young lady,” he told Katha- rine. “You must stay in bed all today, and tomorrow I'll run in and see you again.” “May I go home, doctor?” Katha- rine knew the little physician well. To her secret delight he shook his head, negatively. “I'd rather you stayed right here,” he said, with an interrogative look at Mrs. Merser. “Of course she shall. Of course!” cried her hostess delightedly. “That will relieve me of anxiety. I should be terrified to turn her out now, without being certain she was all right...” So Katharine, divested of her muddied riding things, spent the day in the little mansarded room of the Merser house. It was de lictous to be fussed over this way. The stout colored maid helped her to undress, and her hostess brought pajamas and gown of many times washed striped silk. The children toiled up the stairs with offerings of flowers and shells. “They're enchanted,” said Violet Merser to Katharine later. “They do so love a guest—and such a charming one.” Bertine had come and gone, clucking and murmuring and rather averse to the arrangement until she, too, fell under Fi6=-* Merser’s quiet charm. “But of course we don’t know her,” Bertine complained in a half- whisper, when she and Katharine were alone. “Does it matter?” Katharine closed her eyes. Here it was so quiet and peaceful. Bertine wor- ried her... But after she had gone away, in the quiet of nightfall, Michael Heatheroe came again . . . (To Be Continued)
