Washirigton, July 18.—The administration can con- gratulate itself on the fact that the major “exposures” of its brain trusters have been attempted by such gents as Dr. Wirt and Congressman Ralph Brewster of Maine. Headlines of “liar” charges may have obscured the thread of evidence in the house investigation of Brew- ster’s charges that Corcoran had threatened to stop the Passamaquoddy project if Brewster voted against the holding company “death sentence.” But from several angles of dramatic human inter- est this show was strongly reminiscent of the sensation caused when the Gary school teacher used a private dinner party to “prove” that brain trusters and their satellites were planning a revolution along Russian lines. In each case came sensational chargés from a man of previously good repute, resulting in an immediate house investigation. In each case the other witnesses, testifying on the sensational statements charged, denied anything of the sort had been said. ORDEAL FOR OLD FRIEND Principal witness for Corcoran was Dr. Ernest Gruening, chief of the division of territories and insular possessions, who flatly contradicted Brewster's charge. Gruening was almost in tears. This marked & climax in an intimate relationship of eight years, dur- ing which Gruening—much of the time ‘as editor of the Portland (Maine) Evening News—had battled ad- miringly at Brewster’s side in the latter’s long war against the Insull power interests: ' The Gruenings and the Brewsters were dear friends and Gruening had introduced and endorsed the con- gressman to Corcoran and many other liberals here. eae CHARITABLY CALLED ERROR While it is hardly imaginable that Brewster could deliberately misquote Corcoran on such an important statement in face of certain repudiation by Gruening later, the high reputations of both Corcoran and Gruen- ing precluded any thought that the two were lying. Hence those in the committee room crowd who wanted to be charitable felt that Brewster, his soul in turmoil and his mind upset as both his old friend and his recent associate in legal work on the Quoddy project had him on the spot as to. his vote, had misunderstood.

The pressure applied to the farm credit ad- ministration, which negotiated some 40,000 seed loans in this state last spring may be effective enough to obtain some relaxation of _..“the rules whereby the seed liens must be paid ‘> first. Some provision for such a concession " -already has been made, but competent farmers assert that it is not enough. : Thus the matter presented to the govern- >>-ment is one of dealing with an emergency con- -_ dition quite as grave as that which prevailed : last spring when the prospect was there would “3 be nothing to harvest unless the government supplied the seed and money to put it in the Now the condition is that there might as well be nothing to harvest if the farmer cannot get the grain into his bins. f If the outcome of the crop were assured, private credit would be available in most cases, for the seed liens usually are small and thresh- ing costs take priority over other liens. How- ever, because of the prevailing uncertainty, + everyone regards it as poor business to take a chance and the present tendency is to play it safe. . Only a little liberalization of the govern- ment rules would be a big help. Clearly the farm credit administration has a poor chance of collecting anything’ unless the crop is har- ~? vested and any field worth reaping should pay the cost of harvesting plus the seed loan. If it -doesn’t it had better be left alone. The government, in this case, is in the same ‘position in which thousands of bankers have _- found themselves in the past. It has too much +: invested to pull out now. It would be better for ;-, all concerned if the farm credit administration saw the game through to the end. It may easily prove the best insurance for its present investment. : No Cheers from Farmers Decision against the agricultural adjustment law by According to recent announcement our share of the wheat allotment this year will be more than $17,000,000 other AAA benefits clearly will total six to eight more, opposed to this, the court decision brings them face with the possibility of renewed unrestricted luction and attendant ruinous prices. : The AAA has been presented to the farmer as his ~< version of the tariff, even though it is in fact an internal a Courts which have held the law unconstitutional have done so on the ground that it is not intended to ‘benefit the country as a whole but one group or coali- tion of groups within the country, hence is class legis- >;,. ‘They uphold the teriff on imports on the ground that it is a revenue producing messure, In 80 doing they seem to be swallowing one camel without effort and straining at its twin.

Tt was the action upholding & measure enacted by the state legis- lature known as the “anti-party raid- ing act.” It requires that those seek- ing public office in Pennsylvania from now on select one political party and stay with it through the primary balloting. Five sitting members of the house from the Keystone state must revise their methods of being elected to under the new law and ac- to insiders some of the quin- tet likely will find themselves out on & limb at the coming election. Probably the most conspicuous of the group is the present Democratic whip of the house—Patrick J. Boland of Scranton, elected three times in succession by capturing both Demo- cratic and apuntican seounedons, wr How It Works ‘The records indicate that some 7,000 Democrats in Scranton habitually register as Republicans. In the last three congressional elections it has so happened that bona-fide Repub- Ucans sought the nomination for congress. This so split the regular Republican vote that the Democrats held the balance of power and were ‘able to elect Boland. He has had no real difficulty in landing the Demo- cratic nomination. He is one of the five other Penn- sylvania congressmen whose cam- paigns ended at the primaries because they were able to capture both Demo- cratic and Republican nominations.

Charles Sturt the honor of knighthood just before his death, but not before the terrible hard- ships he had endured made him totally blind. Stust started his explorations into Aystralia in 1827. He first discovered the Derling and other rivers. In June, 1830, on a sec- ond expedition, he discovered the important Murray river and de- scended jt to its mouth, In 1844, he discovered the stony desert of central Australia.

Boland, for. example, took his seat in Decem- ber, 1931, at the time the Democrats took over control of the house. Their majority was rather slim and for several weeks both parties were bid- ding for his support. Finally he decided to join the Democrats.

Summer Sweethearts CHAPTER XLVI KATHARIND and Michael di@ not go to Bngland at once, after all. When she was well enough Michael took Katharine back to Silencia where Miss Daisy and Miss Rozena and Miss Vin- cent and wheezy Mrs. Houghton fussed over her. She was still definitely the invalid. The doctor made her stay in bed part of every day and Michael, who bad another cell-like room across the ball, would carry her out into the heartening sunshine. He was still unable quite to be- Heve that this delicate, goldea- haired girl was really his wife. He had nearly lost her—end all along the way their path had been tangled witb briers. It was dit- ficult to believe that everything could be straightened out at last. One day about a week after their return to Silencia Michael had been out riding on one of the fine Arab horses the Millards had left. He came into his room, almost blinded by the glare of the patio, and found the interior dark and cool. But after bis vision bad cleared a trifle he saw Katharine aitting in his one deep chair. Katharine, dressed in a green linen frock with delicate band- work on it. She looked older, more poised and mature, “Darling! You're really feeling better?” He raised his hand to her lips. He felt, reverentially, that he was literally unworthy of her. Here he stood, strong and crude in his riding things, reeking of horses and the out-of-doors, and here was this girl, a very fairy princess of elegance and fragrance, conde- scending to him... Some of this he said, haltingly and slowly. When he looked up. to his amazement he saw she was laughing at bim. ee ws it true then—this thing he had long suspected—that the girl had regarded ber impulsive _ bargain with him, that she was certain she did not love him? His heart stood still. “Michael, you: great fool!” Her melodious voice pronounced the words lingeringly. “Don’t you love me any more?” “You know. 1 do!” he stam- mered. His eyes devoured her. “Well then, why don’t you take me in your arms? You behave as though I were made of glass. I'm your wife...” “I thought you were ill,” he be- gan. But che was in his erms that very, moment; she was halt-| ro: laughing, balf-crying against his stalwart shoulder. “It's @ great scandal, really, when @ girl bas to woo her man in this shameless fashion.” Michael stopped her mockery ip the only possible way—with a kiss. They sat side by side at the long dark dinner table that night, and held bands shamelessly, after the fashion of lovers. Afterward they walked in the moonlight for a little. Michael, coming to find her later, discovered her at her window, dreaming against the casement. “Did you ever see anything s0 lovely?” The gnarled tree in the courtyard made a stark shadow on the flags. There was an inde- finable scent in the room. “What sort of perfume is that?” He crushed her to him, this creature of light and alr and in- describable sweetness. “I—1 can’t remember,” said vaguely. “It’s very nice,” he told her in- eloquently. Her fair hair was loosened about her face; her breast rose and fell under its cov- ering of blond lace. There was silence after that long murmuring interval. The stars shone down on the desert | and the soft southern air moved the curtains gently to and tro. And Katharine slept like a child, soundlesslyy and blissfully aginst her lover’s shoulder... eee i hipaa weeks later they were io London, to all eyes the usual, good-looking young American cou- ple in well cut tweeds; the girl with a fat pigskin bag bunched under her arm; the men tall and possessive in a pleasant way, shouldering his way through crowds and holding her elbow gently when they crossed the crowded thoroughfares. Mr. Down- rigg had been surprised to find that the new Lord Carden had a wife, and such a pretty one, he told ‘his wife at tea that evening. “She doesn’t talk like an Amer .” he said. “That is, 1 can understand every single word she says.” Mr. Downrigg had gleaneé most of his impressions of the Americans from the cinema. Katharine said he was ap old lamb, and Michael agreed more temperately. After a brief stay at the Savoy the two were to go to Ireland to see the castle which had come to Michael from his father’s people. : “It probably has 87 rooms one bath,” he told his bride.

Wherever you are,” said Katharine, “will be home to me.” They came in to their suite one day at tea time. The girl, loosen- ing her scarf of dark rich sables, rifled the mail on the table, Her face altered. Michael, who knew every expression of it, watched her anziously. “A letter from John Kaye,” she said. “Oh, darling, £ am sorry about John.

John and Zoe! Was that too utterly preposterous? Perhaps not. “You're already a match- maker,” Michael shouted in rich amusement when she told him. A severe-looking man servant came in with the tea at the mo- ment, interrupting their idyll Katharine sat down sedately and poured. “Darling, you'd be perfect at one of those what-d'you-callem? —school treats the nglish novels are full of,” said Michael de- lightedly. “Do you suppose they have them in Ireland?” “I don’t know.” Katharine lifted her cup. The lacy sleeve of her blouse fell away from her rounded arm as she drank. “If they do we'll have them. Tea and buns and strawberry jam .. .” eee b Pade} was fun. Everything she did with Michael was rare fun; the old shops they explored in search of glass and pewter; the little jeweler’s, in a side lane, where Michael had bought her a pair of old silver filigree earrings. “Darling.” she said suddenly, with characteristic irrelevance, “do you suppose there will be dogs at Donegal? Because if there aren’t I want to buy one. Right away. I've been wanting one for years.” She would have a puppy again —maybe more spaniel with silky ears—or 3 Cairn like the one she had lost. She wasn’t afraid of life any more, or of loving. Michael had showed her the folly of that. Even if she lost bim tomorrow she would still have the utter glory of their per- fect time together. Nothing could change that or take it away. Something of what she was thinking, she told him haltingly. The man listened with tender in- terest. “You're not going to lose me, my sweet. Not if I can help it.” Their big, luxurious room darkened as night fell. Lights came out, like far-off moons, here and there in the streets below them.
