It also calls to mind the fact that wireless—and radio, its modern descendent—is essentially a young man’s game. Marconi lived to see what began as a mysterious play- thing develop into a commercial enterprise of large proportions. He lived to see it expanded in importance beyond his wildest imaginings; to see it successful in averting tragedy and, on other occasions, to see it tragically fail. No one knew better than he that the surface of what there is to know has only been scratched and he continued to be an experimenter until the day of his death. It must have pleased him that so many young men became so interested in radio that they have contributed greatly to its development. In a recent address the president of one of America’s great radio firms asserted that the “hams” who experiment with home-made sets in attics are the real in- ventive genius of the industry; that no major contribution to radio has ever been made by a man more than 21 years old. All radio men, will recall the classical example which oc- curred at a radio convention in Detroit several years ago. A leader in the industry was telling of some experiments being Irie to do and why it was impossible to do it. A man in the audience spoke up to say that an 18-year-old |once. boy in his home town was DOING it. And this proved to be so. experiments but radio happens to be one field in which almost standing progress.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, July 24.—There simply isn’t any such thing as an Emily Post who could draw the line between courteous propriety and shrewd hypoc- risy when it comes to the White House attitude toward election of a senate majority leader to succeed Joe Robin- son. Other questions of good taste and hypocrisy arising since the death of the late Joe are easier to solve. For instance, the issue as to which side in the court fight got busy behind the scenes to capitalize on the new situation. The answer there is that each side got busy as soon as it heard the news. The court plan opposition leaped into the backstage maneuvers no more quickly than administration forces. One side plotted attack and the other counter-attack. It was obvious to both that Robinson’s death and the capital that could be made from it offered a fine chance to maneuver the court plan and the rest of Roosevelt's pro- gram into the ditch. * ek Wheeler Drops His Guard Then, take the question of which side has been most gauche and hypo- critical in its public maneuverings. For hours after Robinson’s body was found, certain administration strate- gists—who feared developments would rout their senate strength—itched and hoped for some assertion from the opposition that Robinson’s death sig- eae divine intervention in the court gi They wanted an excuse for the president simultaneously to crack at the exultant. opposition and at the same time deliver a bolstering message to his own wavering lines. Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana, opposition leader, then dropped his guard by beseeching Roosevelt to for- see the court plan “lest he be defying And out cracked the president's letter to Senator Barkley with its those who lacked “decent respect” for wn tanks and check the opposition’s at- tempt to have congress adjourned at But then the president assured Sen- between Harrison and Barkley for the! One of the major difficulties about Mr. Roosevelt's position is that he is holding a congress acutely anxious to adjourn in an indefinite summer ses- ston for the purpose of passing legis- lation for which it has no taste. If that were an adequate description of the situation, it would be conceded that the combination was not an easy ferous summer heat, seeking to put It is fantastic to assume that Roose- Juvenile Evangelism There is something naively American about that news item from Peoria, Il, telling of the ordination of Charles Jaynes, Jr., seven years old, as a full-fledged minister of the gospel of one of the less prominent denominations.

But is it clearly an understate- ment to say congress has a distaste for the presidential program. Dis- taste, for example, does not begin to express its feeling toward the court- packing bill. Many times it has been asserted that not more than ten per cent of the house and senate mem- bership would vote for the presi- dent’s plan if the ballot were secret. ‘That is still true and there is not a posted observer nor a clear-headed politician who does not know it. ‘The plain truth is that this are ure is so repugnant in its content and purpose that it has split widely the president’s party, alienated from him some of his best personal friends and stirred a deep feeling of resentment in the country. Nothing could be more revealing and significant than the strong statement against the bill by Governor Lehman of New York, who thought so much of Mr. Roo- sevelt that last year, at the presi- dent’s personal request and great per- sonal sacrifice, he reconsidered his determination to retire to private life and ran again for governor—solely because of the plea that it would help Mr. Roosevelt. A sturdy Democrat and a loyal friend, those who know Governor Lehman recognize that his declaration was dictated by his con- science and his convictions and that for “nursie.” Seven-year-old preachers.

While the committees already have emasculated all of these proposals they have not yet been reported, and as presented and de- sired by Mr. Roosevelt go much fur- ther in centering absolute power in the president, wiping out the remain- ing rights of the stdtes and making this a completely regimented country than anyone outside the Roosevelt advisers has dreamed. Congress had nothing to do with these bills. Congressional leaders were not consulted about them any more than they were about the court con- trol bill. They originated with and were framed by the Corcoran-Cohen- Lubin group of White House advisers ‘and were dumped without warning upon an unprepared congress. Nothing bas been done about them.
