Hugh Johnson was so surprised when he found he was net TWO COLLEGE PROFESSORS TO WORK IN “THREE-WAY” PLAN OUTLINED BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE By HERBERT PLUMMER sty Andderaced Press) WASHINGTON, July 20.— President Roosevelt’s selection of two more professors, George F. Warren of Cornell ahd James H. Rogers, of Yale, to. study means of putting the public debt on a long-time basis at a reduced cost, goes to the heart of a problem that has vexed congress for a long while. And also, it brings to the fore again the system that Roosevelt apparently will follow in the working out of permanent leg- islative reforms. This system apparently has three separate and distinct divi- sions. The first is the planning divi- sion. This group is composed of the professors, or, as they are familiarly known around the cap- ital, the “brain trusters.” In the study of the public debt, Profes- sors Rogers and Warrent are un- derstood to represent the “brain trust.” It will be their duty to make a comprehensive survey of the whole seheme of federa) finances andy submit their findings and recom- mendations to the president. Once that is ‘dono, another group steps in, headed by the president himself in the capacity of a sort of political director-gen- eral, Hold Confetenee The White House summons the congressional leaders in for a con- ference, The plan worked out by the professors is placed before them, It’ is here that ways and means of getting the proposed Jeg- islation through congress are de- vised. The president, presumably, not wedded to any detail of the’ plan submitted by his “brain trusters,” listens carefully to the opinions PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S creation of a ‘“‘super-cabi- net’ dramatizes better than anything else how times have changed in Washington.

HEMINGWAY IS | BACKFROM TRIP | Anniversaries MADE TO CUBA NOTED WRITER BREAKS ALL RECORDS AS ANGLER; CATCHES SEVEN MARLIN IN SINGLE DAY Ernest Hemingway, noted writ- ef, returned ycsterday afternoon. from Cubah waters where he has broken all records as an agler for marlin. He caught seven in one day, the former being four. Not only did he break the record for numbers but after fighting 1 hour and 5 minutes landed a mon- j ster weighing 468 pounds and 12} feet 8 inches long. This fish was six inches longer than the one caught at Cat Key, which for many months was called the king of the tribe, Another prize was a striped mar- lin which was captured Tuesday just before he started on the re- expressed by the . congressional leaders and attempts to harmonize the views of the two groups. * Just so long ag.the main objec- tive is retained, he doesn’t care, He'll make concession here and there. for, after all, it is up to congress to translate the plan into law. He is, so to speak, the balance wheel between the politic- al theorist and the practical politi- cian. A good illustration of this was to be seen inthe industrial re- covery act. There was talk that as far back as last Christmas, Roosevelt had before him the in- dustrial recovery plan. It was; not, however, until the senate passed the Black 30-hour week bill that he brought it out, Then To Make It Work And then comes the third group —those charged with the admin- istration of the law as passed by congress And approved by President. This group is made up of an entirely different type of per. sons. They are the “hard-boiled” | men of the administration. Here you see the Lew Douglases, the} Hugh Johnsons, the Morgenthaus — men expected to hew to the line regardless in putting the law/ into effect. The President keeps! his thamb on this group, to | sure, This was evidenced by the} fact that he placed his secretary! ”" of the interior in charge of the gigantic publie works program. Thus Roosevelt subjects his pro-| posals to three different each entirely different in their] makeup and none dependent on) the other, | COLORED SOCIETY PLANNING JUBILEE turn to Key West. This gamey fighter leaped clear of the water 44 times before being brought to gaff, in 1 hout 46 minutes. ~It is a rare thing, says Mr: Hem- ingway, for one of the striped va- {riety to be caught in waters other than the Pacific and when caught are rather small. This one weigh- ed 343 pounds and measured 10] feet 5 inches, A piece weighing 100 pounds was brought to Key West and will be the principal dish at a supper to be given at the home cn Whitehead street, A white marlin was also caught. This weighed 87 pounds, and is rarely taken in waters on this side of the eountry. Mr. Hemingway left with Cap- tain Joseph Russell in the launch Anita on April 12 and during the three months and one week he angled, brought in 54 marlin and hundreds of other fish. Among them were tarpon, tuna, | the! kingtish and wahoo, some of them{ magnificent specimens, However, there was but one objective in the trip and that was to break the marlin taking record and until this was realized all other fish were thrown back into their element. Duing the stay in Cuban waters and Havana, Mrs. Hemingway went on a number of occasions to Hayana and both sons went to visit their father. John Hemingway was taken out on one of the trips a was successful in landing a marlin weighing 47 pounds. Mr. Russell,’s son, Joseph, Jr., visited his father.
