Scenes Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Corresporident) Washington, Oct. &—Justice Hugo Black did not lack for friends or rel- atives to give him advice when he re- turned to the capital. To take the trouble of ferreting out the whole range of patronage enjoyed by the former senator from Alabama, including members of the family, would be decidedly unfair to Black. Nearly every member of congress seeks all the patronage he can get and nepotism is a time-honored custom. Nevertheless, quite a galaxy of names came popping out as Black drew nearer to Washington—enough to provide an idea of the way senators who keep in the good graces of the administration can entrench them- selves here.

All rights of republication of ali other matter herein are also reserved, Clarifying a Bit of History Back in 1932 and 1933 one of the current causes for argu- ment was whether or not a famine was raging in Russia, Even jn the columns of this newspaper, far removed from the Russian steppes, the debate waxed hot. As always is the case, the average reader found it difficult to reach any conclusion, But now comes Eugene Lyons, for many years United Press correspondent in Russia, with a book in which he asserts that there was a famine and that some 4,000,000 persons died because of it. Commenting on the failure of the world to get conclusive facts regarding it at the time he says: “The failure of the press representatives to report the famine fully reflects little glory on world journalism. Not a single American newspaper or news agency protested against the confinement of its correspondents in Moscow or troubled to learn the cause of this unprecedented measure of conceal- ment. The foreign press allowed itself to be driven to use such makeshift words as “undernourishment’ to hide the raging famine. Every correspondent, each in his own measure, ‘was guilty of collaborating in this monstrous hoax on the world.” Thus a bit of history is revealed. And along with it comes the idea that it might have been definitely ascertained as a fact long ago if the newspapers had either been given access to the facts or had been permitted to do their duty or if the news correspondents had done what might reasonably have been expected of them. Other observations in the book bear out what the average American has long suspected. This is the contention that Russia, dominated by a bureaucratic clique, has become a con- The justice went at once to the home of his brother-in-law, Clifford J. Durr, who happens to be an assist- ant general counsel at RFC. He de- cided to broadcast from the home of Claude Hamilton, RFC general coun- sel, an old friend from Alabama whom Black endorsed for the job. William E. Fort, special assistant to the attorney general, turns out to be an ex-law partner of Black’s, An- other law partner from Birmingham once served as counsel for one of the then senator's investigating com- mittee. Sterling Foster, another brother- in-law, is with the Maritime com- mission. Cutler Smith, a cousin by marriage, is with the AAA, Hollis Black, a nephew has been the sen- ator’s secretary and is now expected to become his law clerk — although he is reported to have stayed here only at Black’s urgent request. Hugh Grant, a former Black secre- tary, became minister to Albania.) and A. G. Patterson, who served Black well as an investigator, is with federal communications commission. | Heflin on Payroll Former Senator Tom Heflin of Alabama suddenly turns out to have been on the department of justice payroll for a year at $6,000, presum- ably with endorsement of Black and others, Maritime Commissioner Thomas M. Woodward, the only non-relative to) accompany Black from Norfolk to} Washington, comes from Pennsyl- vania and isn’t an item of Black's Alabama patronage. Black urged his appointment, however, as the two had; become closely associated in a joint effort to clean up scandals of the old; servative nation under the guise of Soviet progress. There, as in most other countries, the desire of the political bosses is to keep their jobs. They stop at nothing to achieve their ends. In this Communism, Nazism and Fascism are on common ground, That, too, is hardly news to the American reader. Chance for Observers Wars now going forward in Spain and China offer military experts everywhere an opportunity to test out new weapons and check up on their strategy. In fact, one of the most sur- prising things about the Spanish trouble is that England and France have not sold some of their latest weapons to one side or the other to see how they would work out in actual practice. Spain is so much of a proving ground now that a few more tests wouldn’t make much difference. In the Orient attention is centered not so much upon weapons as upon tactics and transportation. The modern army travels upon its stomach just as did Napoleon’s, though rolling kitchens have made it somewhat more mobile. China’s resistance to the Japanese at Shanghai has amazed the world and won new respect for Chinese fighting ability, yet interest still centers in the North and there, observers agree, the Japs have their hands full. The reason lies in the tremendous problem of transporta- tion. As the Nipponese advance they have to string their com- munications out behind them. And the farther they go into the interior the more difficult it becomes to get the necessary supplies and munitions to the men at the front. This one problem is of such magnitude that many Amer- ican experts are actually predicting defeat for Japan if the Chinese can hold out for any considerable period. Economic Body Is Sound Those who watch the American people most closely are the least worried about the stock market. To observe the American public in action they have to lift ied minds and eyes out of New York and that is good for them. When they do, they find that farm buying power is up sharply. Rents still are high but building costs have shown a tendency to stabilize. High enough, it is true, yet low enough to make building a better bet than paying rent. Most meats and some grains are sharply higher, yet the cost of living is up only two per cent as compared with a year ago. That means more money left in the average purse for things which are not necessities. Everything is up at least a little, but income is up still more. This means release of the purchasing power which all economists agree is vitally neces- sary to economic health. These things are more important than what happens on the stock market. They are more important to America than the headache which comes from any gambling spree. A Practical Memorial Thirty years ago there was a bad interurban wreck at Elyria, O. Eight people were killed, and some of the deaths were attributed to the city’s lack of hospital facilities, Among the victims was the son of an Elyria business man named Edgar F. Allen. ‘Allen bestirred himself to see that this tragic story be not repeated. He organized the Elyria Memorial Hospital association, campaigned to raise funds for it, gave lib- erally of his own money, and retired from business to become ea and manager of the new hospital which the association uilt. In the years since then, this hospital has done a great work. And Allen, who died just the other day, left to the memory of his dead son a fine and valuable memorial of enduring useful- ness and beauty. : ‘Missouri gentleman {ng he can’t remember whether he Police checking are laid a bess drum.

Nepotism is so wide- spread among southern members that it might have had little effect. ** x Japanese ‘Call’ in Alaska At least passing interest has been stirred up here by recent appearance of a Japanese trading vessel at St. Lawrence Island, off a tip of Alaska. American Eskimos there were told the vessel carried plenty of liquor and the Japanese would like to come ashore and trade. The commander was told a U. 8. coast guard cutter was due next day and that he had better keep going. The story was duly reported to Wash- ington, where such incidents are care- fully noted.

Some can do it; some can't. An example of one who adroitly let the wind blow itself out with no dam- age whatever to himself is found tn the ample person of Mr. James A. Farley, soon, it is now admitted, tu retire as postmaster general in order to accept a large and lucrative office in the automobile business. Whether or not this position, which is reported to carry an annual salary of $100,000 @ year, to say nothing of bonus agree- ments and @ certain amount of stock, makes an economic royalist of Mr. Farley, it certainly heavily adds to the not inconsiderable evidence that, while the New Dealers close to the president lose few chances to denounce eco- nomic royalists, in the last analysis they have no objection to being paid by them. It is not too much to say that a certain eagerness along these lines has been evinced by some of them. At any rate, the list of those who one way or another are cashing in on their administration connections grows impressively. The case of Mr. Farley differs from good many others, first, because next to the late Forbes Morgan, uncle by marriage of the president and treasurer of the Democratic committee, Mr. Farley apparently has made a better deal for more money than any other of the Copyright 1937, by The Baltimore Sun was for so long under fine from the critics of the administration and even from some of its friends, like Senator Norris, of Nebraska. It may be recalled that the parti- cular reason Mr. Farley became a target was because of the dual role he played as postmaster general and chairman of the Democratic national committee. The charge was that it was little short of scandalous for the head of the party committee to sit in the cabinet of the president and act as the official dispenser of federal jobs. A great many people got quite excited about the impropriety of the Postmaster general serving as the party chairman. Newspapers gener- ally took the view that it was “bad stuff.” The practice was almost un- animously condemned. There was an immense volume of editorial denun- ciation and many critical speeches. In other words, there was quite a storm over the fact that Mr. Farley persisted in clinging to both jobs. The wind blew so hard that it seemed he must let go one or the other. But he didn’t. As a gesture during the last campaign he did temporarily vacate his cabinet post, but once the election was over promptly went back on the federal pay roll. Gradually the wind ceased to blow and it has been a long time now since any news- paper, commentator, critic or politi- cian has had a word to say on the dual position business.

Another reason was the very genuine popularity of Mr. Farley and the extraordinary number of friends he has even among opponents of the administration. The fact is that while the president’s “personal charm” has been far more widely ballyhooed, ac- tually Mr. Farley's is the greater, largely because there is no trace in him of smugness and no obvious con- viction of the superiority 6f his own. wisdom and virtue.
