In that ease, if Mr. England’s definition i& correct, fechnocracy is SOME improvement over s¢cialism, Ruth Bryan Owen deplores the pre- RESTS WITH SUPREME COURT The Citizen publishes a story taday from its special correspondent in Wash-: ington stating that the application of the Overseas Bridge Corporation had lost its “pending status” befor the Reconstruction Finance Corporation due to unfavorable action of the directors based on an adverse report made by the engineering advisory | board, Nothing is said in the story about “self-liquidation,” which was given as the cause for rejection, two weeks ago, accord- ing to a member of the engineering ad- visory board. In this instance it is stated that the adverse report of the board was “based on a memorandum from the legal division advising that the Overseas ap- plication was void for lack of a state fran- chise to construct the proposed bridges.” That statement does not coincide with another that “Opinion at the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation headquarters was that the action in disapproving the ap- plication was taken to clear the way for the filing of a new loan request in about 10 days or two weeks by Rosenthal, who is known to plan such a move,” because, if the R. F. C. sets aside the Overseas Bridge Corporation’s application on account of the lack of a state franchise, how can it enter- tain an application from Rosenthal when he also does not have a state franchise? Further, how could the R. F. C. direc- tors have “voted to refuse the loan” when the application of the Overseas Bridge Corporation had Keen suspended, at the request of the corporation, for more than a month? So far as The Citizen can determine, application for the loan, and the probable success to get it, rests with the decision of the Florida supreme court in the quo war- ranto proceedings that the Overseas Bridge Corporation has filed against George J. Rosenthal and a_ hearing of which has been set by the court for March 10. If the Overseas Bridge Corporation wins the case, it can re-apply to the State Road Department for a franchise, and, judging from information that has * been given The Citizen, the franchise will be granted. In that event, the corporation tan file another application with the R-}°f the several former cabinet, of- “| 1icers employed by Doheny at cne F.C, for a loan to construct the bridges. In the event that Rosenthal gets a favorable decision in the supreme court case, The Citizen doubts if he can obtain a franchise from the State Road Depart- ent, because he is not prepared, at least it present, to meet the requirements, in the matter of maps, depth soundings, specifications, etc., that the department demands before considering taking action on a franchise. Incidentally, Rosenthal appeared before the State Road Depart- ment more than a year ago in an effort to obtain its consent to build the bridges and his formal request was refused. Besides, how about the consent of the war department, which the Overseas Bridge Corporation has to construct the bridges and which has not been rescinded? Finally, the Overseas Bridge Corpora- tion is a non-profit organization, working fory.the public good, whereas Rosenthal is acting individually, and the R. F. C. has announced that it does not lend money tc individuals. So far as The Citizen can see, the out- look is rosy for the Overseas Bridge Cor- poration to obtain a loan to build the pro- posed bridges if the supreme court decides favorably the case that the corporation has instituted against Rosenthal.

Like Governor Smith, whom he re- | fused to support, the senator was a Catholic and so no friend of the | Klan; but he told the leaders of | the warring factions that as pre-| siding ofticer he could show no favor as to either candidates or} policies. Several times during those three | teeming weeks the convention was; on the point of riot, and the sen-| ator smashed several gavels in his efforts, frequently vain, to main- tain some semblance of order.
