ERIDIRON TURNS HEAT ONPOLITIS Supreme Court Decisions, Boondoggling and G. 0. P. Lampooned. (Continued From First Page.) -_— s — Monte Carlo.” The most pointed line in the song was the soloist’s specu- lation as to whether . nineteen thirty-six would see “The end of a gorgeous spending spree.” When the last “greenback” had been tossed away, the diners settled back to hear a new Gridiron quartet. Capt. Taylor Branson led his Marine Band Orchestra into the prelude, only to have that disciplined group break down completely amid discordant tootings. They tried it again with no better result. Just an Initiation. Floor managers hustled a red- coated dischord-maker to the stage for investigation. It was discovered that he was the club's latest recruit, Kirke L. Simpson of the Associated Press, undergoing initiation. With this club business attended to, the introduction of skits satirizing as- pects of Washington life that caught the fancy of club script writers began. “Props” rushed a pair of ornate eolumns, suspiciously resembling those | that front the new Supreme Court building, to the stage. “Our scene is the Acropolis” said | the announcer. “A magnificent tem- ple dedicated to justice and costing 11,000,000 drachmas is about to be dedicated. The year is 57 B.C. Nine of the Delphic oracles are about to take possession. The Mysterious Box. | In came a line of nine warriors in | full armor, the first pair bearing reverently a scrolled golden box. | “These nine oracles are the wisest gentlemen in all the world" observed one Athenian. “But what is in that box?” asked another. “The sacred foundation of being,” said another. “It lells us what to do and when to do it.” said a third. “It must be marvelous,” another. “Could I see it?” “Of course, not,” was the answer. *“When any one examines it it changes color like a chameleon.” “How can one tell what it means?” “Once a week revelation is given when wise persons announce what it means—that week. It occurs each | Monday afternoon when the wise ones hand down their decisions.” A soloist described the thrill of those sessions: “Oh, it's time to take ‘your places, You'll hear the verdict soon; It's better than the races. On a Monday afternoon. *you'll Rear what folks were thinking, Back in eighteen hundred ten, | And Latin words a-linking ‘What happens Now with THEN.” One of the mailed warriors began intoning a mystifying string of numbers.

No, & “29 U. §,.398; 210 U Stat., 859, ——." he said. “Wait a minute,” broke in a citizen. “What do you think this is—a foot our said : 281; 42 sternly answered the “I'm handing down & de- “Oh yeah, Oh yeah,” broke in the erier in sing-song tones. having business with this honorable institution now draw nigh. Writs of certiorari can be obtained at the box office.” “Fellow Athenians,” said another citizen, “Let me present these nine famous gentlemen “The Hon. James M. Beck, bencher of the Middle Temple, London; the Hon. John W. Davis, counsel for J. P. Morgan; the Hon. Rbbert H. Mc- Carter, Public Service Corp., New Jersey; the Hon. Bainbridge Colby, contributor to Hearst newspapers; the Hon. David A. Reed, naval expert; the Hon. Frank J. Hogan, counsel for Albert B. Fall; the Hon. Frederic R. Coudert, jr, son of the president of the Metropolitan Opera Co.; the Hon. George W. Wickersham, chairman of & famous face-saving commission.” And Shouse, Too. 3 “And last, but not least, the former chairman of the Association Opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment, the Hon. Jouett Shouse—who has a word to say.” Mr. Shouse said it in song: *I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls With Davis and Beck at my side,” he sang and so on through the tale of riches, of “a high judicial name” to the climax. *But I also so dreamt which pleased me most. That the du Ponts were still the same.” An attendant stepped forward to the mysterious box. “Gentlemen, permit me to exhibit the historic charter on which our freedom rests,” he said, displaying the parchment. The contributor’s list of the American Liberty League!” “Uphold It With Cash.” Y “It is your duty to protect this sacred document with your life—and to uphold it with your cash,” solemnly {ntoned John W. Davis from his place among the oracles. “I notice the Constitution has not been mentioned here,” commented a citizen. “I8 it not true that the Con- stitution is what the judges say it is?” : “It’s supposed to be, but what those Judges say ain't necessarily so,” said snother. “The rightful occupants of this $uilding now approach,” proclaimed & ¢itizen. “These others are mere im- postors.” ine more characters came on in golemn procession. Each wore a linen duster, a battered silk hat and car- tled a buggy whip. ; “Great heavefls” called an Athen- ian, “there must be some mistake. Here’s nothing but a lot of buggy drivers!” . “Destinies in Their Hands.” { “Nevertheless, our destinies rest in eir hands and we may see Franklin . Roosevelt campaigning with a horse d buggy ift 1036,” answered another tizen, and all left the stage singing: “Put on your old, gray bonnet.” " A pair of flag posts from which fibated Germany's swastika-marked @mblem was explained by an an- uncer: * “We take you to the Olympic Games 1A Berlin where four famous Ameri- gn:u are aboug to do their stuff,” d.

She even fooled the Supreme: Court!"” “Heil,” shouted the whole team. A Stranger Approaches. A dignified stranger, who ap- proached followed by an attendant bearing a large package draped with an American flag, caught the atten- tion of the four brothers. “Messrs. Schechter,” he said, “I am Ogden Reid, publisher of the New York Herald-Tribune. I would like to inspect your wonderful birds.” The hens were enthusiastically pointed out to him. “Just as I thought,” said Reid. “In recognition of the great public service you have performed for the Repub- lican party, the Herald Tribune pre- sents you with this token.” A sweep of hand removed the flag from the box, to expose a big rooster in its cage. “The Schechter strain must neveg die!” shouted Retd. A Take-off on Hopkins. “A Midwinter Night's Dream,” at- tributed to Federal Relief Administra- tor Harry L.

First I dreamed in millions; then I got to billions—now I'm dream- ing in trillions!

We'll reverse the ocean tides, ea—— “I run the tides,” broke in the moon. “You mean you used to run 'em.” chuckled Hopkins. “When we get through with Passamaquoddy the tides will be eating out of our hands.” “I'm through with you,” stormed the aroused man-in-the-moon. Go back to sleep, Harry.” “Sweet dreams, and a long, long sleep—for, oh boy, what a headache you'll have ‘when you wake up!” “Orphans of the Sterm.” ‘That moving drama, “The Orphans of the Storm, produced by the New Deal af uncalculated and incalculable expense,” started with a cradle on the stage containing four very mature- looking doll babies. “Nellie, the beautiful stock model, and James M.

Jim the Penman stopped her. “Aha, my pretty one, not so fast; you shall never reach that lobby,” he gritted. “Foiled again,” sobbed Nellie, “but not for long. I'll go to the courts.” “The courts,” sneered Landis, “I challenge you. I'll start a test suit meself.” Is Nellie Happy? “What, Jim, you will?” asked Nellie. “Oh, Jim, is that a promise? Oh, love each other yet.” They went off stage arm in arm as | the band played a strain of a wed- ding march. “A desert island where,” an an- nouncer said, “Mr. Willlam Randolph Hearst had landed from California on a world-wide tour, searching for a land where he can live without sup- porting the government,” came next. Mr. Hearst entered, followed by Ar- thur Brisbane, Hearst columnist, both showing weariness, and Hearst glaring disgustedly at the scanty showing of palm trees that made up the “set.” Brisbane tried consoling the pub- lisher with a few literary quotations. Hearst: “Cut that out, Arthur. It's bad enough to have to read it in Brisbane: “Don't get excited, Mr. Hearst. The tax rebellion is growing. Here comes some recruits. Here, Mr. Hearst, are Aimee Semple McPherson, | Charlie Chaplin, Willlam Powell, Jimmy Cagney, and, if I'm not mis- | taken, Col. Robert McCormick of the Chicago Tribune.” All Had “Fled the U. S.” It developed that the newcomers had “fled the United States” to avold “the exactions of an extortionate admin- istration.” “Let’s sing a glee to our great leader | William Randolph!” it was suggested, which they did, as follows: “The gentleman obviously does not believe in Morgenthau, He shrinks when you mention a Treas- ury bond or two. It's hard to conceive that he doesn't believe in paying a tax; Like me, and you, and you. “The gentleman obviously doesn't be- lieve in. fiscal fun. Whatever he praises, tax raises are all taboo. It seems he's not cursed with a heav- | enly thirst for losing his shirt, Like me, and you, and you.” Mr. Hearst discovered in the group “a low fellow in squalid attire.” “Your name, sir,” he demanded. Here Comes the Dole. “The name is Jones, or Smith, or Brown,” was the answer. “It doesn't matter. I belong to the tax-exempt class you ladies and gentlemen would like to join. Iam on the Federal dole.” To that he added a song: “Oh, I got plenty of nothin’, An’ nothin's plenty for me. I got no job, got no tax, I got no misery, I'se receivin’ de dole, I belong!” At this point 8 burly figure in ap- proved English fox-hunting “pink” strolled on stage. “If it isn’t Mr. J. P. Morgan,” said Brisbane. “You don't pay taxes in the United States, Mr. Morgan,” said Hearst. “I know,” blandly answered Morgan. “But it's such a pleasure to hear about them. Anyhow, I must return to Eng- land for the fox hunting.” “The Promised Land.” ‘“Have faith, Mr. Hearst, have faith,” said Sister Aimee. “Those of us who live in the higher brackets must lead our people to the Promised Land where all securities are tax-exempt.” “There’s a land thiat js fairer than ay, And by faith we shall see it afar, Where there are no more taxes to pay, And our bonds are ferever at par. In the sweet, by-and-by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.” “We take you to the remote hiding place of the survivors of that classic melodrama, ‘The G. O. P. Follies,’ " an announcer said as the lights came on to reveal a battered trouper stir- ring a pot over an open camp-fire. “Hello, Jim Watson,” called a. veice as another shabby looking actor came “What are you cooking?” “Aha, you scoundrel,” she shrilled. |, “Are you going to let someone else We may come to| Hoover. “In all history only three men have played that role perfectly —and the other two were Washington and Lincoln.” Fletcher Leads Troupe. Cheering oft stage broke in, and the rest of the troupe, in bedraggled rem- nants of the former stage costumes, came rushing on, led by Chairman Fletcher. “What's the excitement?” asked ‘Watson. “A stratosphere balloon dropped a newspaper,” said Fletcher. “It's full of good news. There's a demand for a 1936 edition of ‘The G. O. P. Follies."” “But what have we got to start on?” asked Moses when the general cheering subsided. “It's all in the paper,” trouper. “We've got a mayor in Philadelphia, We've got another one in Cleveland, said a too; We won elections In many sections Just to show what we could do. “We've got control of New York's Assembly, And we have put the New Deal in a fix; We're a sensation In half the Nation; We'll take it all in thirty-six.” “But where could we stay in Wash- ngton?’ asked Watson. “The cast of the New Deal has bought up all the houses, mansions, apsctments and hotels.” “On to Trgwelltown.” “Oh, a place is ready for us,” re- sponded a touper. “It's only a shanty in old Tugwelltown, A satellite city that's won great renown; What a circus there’ll be When we put G. O. P. In a shanty in old Tugwelltown!” “That’s the slogan for 1936—"On to Tugwelltown,” shouted Hoover. “Yes, but we still have to find a star for the lead role,” objected Moses. “All Republicans are seeing stars,” sald a trouper. “Just look at 'em!” To the tune of “Comin’ Round the Mountain,” he sang lustily, supported by the chorus: “We'll be coming down the mountain when we come, We will have a man of fame, though we do not know his name, ‘When we come. we come? solemn voice to warn ya?” appeared to stand hand in coat front, solemnly eyeing the audience. “Will it be with old Bill Borah, ‘Will he join our happy band with the ‘Townsend plan in hand?” A second figure, an exact duplicate of Hoover In dress and manner, | stepped out. | “Will it be with Gov. Landon, Will we find our chances best With the Coolidge of the West?" And Still They Come. A third “Hoover” joined the lin~. “Will it be with Col. Knox? Will we set the New Deal rankli:' | If we run another Franklin?” | A fourth Hoover appeared. “Will it be with Vandenberg? When the people want to know He'll reply both ‘yes’ and ‘no’.” Out popped a fifth Hoover. “will it be with some one else? ‘Will we find some stronger forces 1In the pasture of dark horses?” six peas in a pod. To solve this riddle of '36 G. O. P. leadership identities, the trouper ex- plained: “It will not make any difference when we come, When they're in the G. O. P, They all look alike to me.” The Gold Cemetery. When the show got around to the New Deal gold pelicy, a suggestion of a Kentucky fort guarding piled bags of sequested gold appeared on the stage, the light dimming to a shud- dery, greenish moon glow as uni- formed Army sentries moved on to | take their posts. “I'se skeered,” said the man placed on sentry-go, his eyes roving over first one shou'der then the other. “I don't like this job of being a sentry in a cemetery.” “Cemetery,” said the sergeant. “Why | this is where the Government's gold |1s all stored.” “Dat's what I said,” insisted the sentry. “Just a buryin’ ground: ‘Sacred to de memory of sound money! " “Lots of people believe in devalua- tion,” the sergeant argued. “Lots o' people goin’ to vote dat way, too, next year,” the sentry an- swered, “Devaluation—and how—and who!” “Lots of people believe in a 59.06 dollar,” said the sergeant. “Yeh, an’ lots o' people goin' vote against a 59.06 po'k chop,” added the sentry. Morgenthau Brings Gold. “Here comes Secretary Morgenthau with some more gold.” The Secretary, high hat and all, strode in to drop another clinking bag- ful on the gold heap. “There's another two billion,” he said. “What's the total amount of gold here, Mr. Secretary?” asked “Nine billions,” said Morgenthau proudly. “Nine billions.” “Dat's a powerful lot” said the sentry, edging up to the secretary in- gratiatingly. “Mistah, could you spare jes’ a Ii'l oI’ thin dime dat a man could use, suh?” “What's a thin dime to a country with nine billions in gold?” scoffed the Becretary. “What's nine billion in gold to a country without a thin dime, dat's what I wants to know?” said the News Reel Shown. A news reel arranged by the club proved to be a prevue of the presi- dential inauguration, January 20, 1937, “History Shivering,” at the first midwinter inaugural. It included the inaugural address of “President Nor- man Thomas, elected on a Soclalist ticket and a platform promising to end communism in Washington, put ‘Wall Street back in the saddle; two potted chickens in every garage, more sbundant holding companies and a more abandoned life.” But “President Thomas,” Roosevelt, switched to the tones of Al Smith, switched again to Herbert appear to be singing in celebration of the Thomas election, “Happy Days Roper duet dedicated to Gen.
