Strangely, the cabinet — officer who was least known when he was appointed has become the most conspicuous. All Secretary Ickes has to do is to boss the interior department, rule the tempestuous oil industry, spend $3,300,000,000 on public works and a few other} things.

Thus far the response is not overwhehning. «+» Farm Administrator Peek has heard the rise injwheat prices was not an utiniixed blessing. Farmers in some sections got the idea they would get a government bounty automatically and prepared to col- leet the money and then sow all the wheat they could. It’s taking a lot of work to straighten this out. ... Reports that Seeretary Woodin of the treasury will resign this fall have reached the stege where there is wide speculation as to his successor. Much mentioned is Senator Couzens of Michigan, but no decision has been reavhed. Budget Director Douglas also is mentioned, but his insistenee on expense cuts has stirred up a lot of people against him. He fore. saw this when he took office “In every administration.” he said then, “there must be one martinet, and I'm it.” (Only the word he used was must stronger.)

Before the United States senate on Monday, May 15, 1933, Harold jouderback, a federal judge for the northern district of California went on trial with the senate sitt- ing as a court of impeachment.

Something’s Brewing Between now and January the judiciary committee of the house will conduct three separate inves- tigations into the conduct of eccu- pants of the federal bench. The climax may come in the reg- ular session of the seventy-third eongress which will be convened in January. But the concern of the house over this question goes deeper than these investigations. Hatton Snmners, chairman of the judici- ary committee of the house, rated one of the authorities in congress ‘on constitutional law, voiced this concern toward the end of the ses- sion, just after he had conducted ‘the unsuccessful prosecution of Judge Louderback before the sen- ate . it’s ‘ “Tt is probably true,” said Sum- ners on the floor of the house, , “whatever the cause, that the fed- ‘eral judiciary today, in point of ‘public confidence, holds the lowest position it has held since the or- ganization of the government.” A Behavior Test? “I would say this much,” he} continued, “If we could get rid of, say, about a dozen federal judges} in this country . . . the federal judges, as a class, would stand high and the people would have confidence in them.” Referring to the fact that feder- al judges are appointed “daring good behavior,® the chairman {the judiciary committee, to whose} jeommittee alleged miseonduct oni the part of federal judges is first! submitted, veiced the belief that} it was within the power of con- gtess to set up a tribunal te try the issue of “good behetior.” All of which raises this -ques-| tien: Does Sumners contem-| plate a disciplinary tribunal) jthrough the judges themselves—| a court of judges, so to speak—or does he favor a tribunal set up , outside the judiciary of} SRE eEea ; Mrs. Geline MacDonalt Bow man of Richmond, Va., t spawn of a re pers in nort! {sometimes, they lay who is head/the "hoppers # THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Zhe. KIDDEN DOOR BY FRANK L. PACKARD SYNOPSIS: Colin Hewitt, writer detective si » finds ‘himself ed into @ far better thriller jan any he ever imagined. Reddy Turner, boyhood friend who went ‘wrong, is killed in Colin’s apart- ment by the Mask, whom Reddy was trailing because that master criminal was responsible for the death of Reddy’s sister. Colin has promised to deliver a letter for Reddy; he goes to Reddy's old room, found the letter, and turns ip face one of the Mask’s killers. fe smashes the face of the man with a curtain pole, and now walks Sixth avenue knowing that if he goes home he is qs good as com- mitting suicide. Chapter Ten. . REDDY’S LETTER OLIN quickened his steps, uncon- sciously keeping pace with his thoughts. There was Reddy's letter. He| couldn’t come to any final decision | anyhow until he had réad that, and | meanwhile the obvious thing to do} was to keep his tracks covered. But in any case he couldn't stay out on the street all night. Obvious- ly again, then, a hotel. The Cross- more, for instance. It was only a few blocks away and not far from the Grand Central. Whether or not he eventually spent the rest of the night at the Crossmore did not mat-| ter; he could at least digest Reddy’s letter there undisturbed and at his year. His real name doesn’t mat- ter. He is known there as Joe La- zarre. He is dark, has black eyes and hair, is thickset, clean-shaven, and is about forty years old; if you have any doubt about him, ask him to show you his shoulder—he has a bullet-wound scar along his right shoulder blade. So much for that, if you decide to go. if you ever read this, which will only be if I have been ‘taken for a ride, you will remember I told you that'I wasn’t letting you in for any- thing except the time and trouble it would take to find Lazarre (though I didn’t mention his name then) provided you ‘ollowed the di- rections I am writing here, and, after handing over the letter, just let it go at that. And that is all true; but, before you finally make a decision, it is only fair to add something’ here, which is part of what I meant by “following directions,” that I did not tell you about when 1 was talk- ing to you. And my reason for not having done so then was ‘that it wasn't anything you needed to il the time came for you to d take a hand, if you then about it—which time an, of course, that I'd put on the spot by the Mask. sten! I've found out that the got some “interests” at way, though what they don't know. So if you went, you'd have to watch your step— otherwise there would be danger. It's a cinch that if he ever gets on to me at all. he'll know all there is to know about me before he’s through, and he'll know that you're a i of mine—and, if he found out you were down there, he'd get curious, which wouldn’t be so good. If you ‘decide to go, I'd be Tom, the Piper's son, or Little Boy something like that while you'te there, if T were vou, Under- stand? letsure. » You know how much I want the letter delivered, but I'm télling you “We'll try to make you comfortable, Mr. Routh.” He traversed the intervening blocks rapidly and entered the hotel. The lobby was deserted, , Only a sleepy bellboy and the night clerk appeared to be on duty. Colin crossed to the desk. “This commuter stuff isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,” he grumbled, as he registered. “Second time this month I’ve missed the last train!” He took out his pocketbook. “I haven’t any baggage, of course, so il pay you now.” The clerk nodded pleasantly. “Well, it’s an ill wind, you know!” he said sententiously. “We'll try to make you comfortable, Mr.”—he glanced at the register—‘“Routh. With bath?” “Please,” said Colin—and a few minutes later was in‘his room with the door locked behind him. And suddenly he felt very tired, What was it the doctors had said about early hours and no excite- ment? Oh, well—he flung an approv- ing glance around the room—there was solid comfort here for the time being anyhow! And a bed by and by perhaps. But Reddy's letter first! threw himself into an easy chair, took the envelope from his pocket, and ‘tore it open. It con- tained, as Reddy had said, a plain, sealed envelope of ordinary com- mercial size and two sheets of paper folded together. He laid the envelope down on the arm of his chair, and unfolded the sheets of paper. Reddy’s penmanship was clear and legible. He read the closely writ- ten sheets through to the end—read them in a sort of tense haste, as though at a single glance he strove to master their entire contents, Then, with a grim smile, he searched in his pocket for a cigarette, lighted it, and reread the letter slowly, as though almost he were cOmmitting it now word for word to memory. As Reddy had said, it began without Preface: The man to whom the enclosed letter is to be delivered is some- where on the north shore of the lower Guilt of St. Lawrence, or on the Canadian Labrador coast.

See? That's why it isn't to be mailed to Cap & I'Orage—where he not be. If you go, good luck, and a dead man’s thanks; if you don’t go, re- member the bargain—the letter is to be destroyed unopened, and your mouth js shut. That's all. ‘OLIN stared unseeingly in front of him. Mechanically he tore the two sheets into bits, and mechant- cally he thrust the sealed envelope into an inner recess of his pocket- book. They spoke mostly French down there, of course. That was all right. So did he, A lonely, desolate stretch of coastline. He knew something about it by hearsay. Heaton Boyce had been down thete on a salmon trip last year, and had described it one night at the elub. The North Shore,Boyce said they always called it. A pulp mill, or so; timber-cutting; fishing. And, sep- arated by infinite miles, a few settle- ments that consisted of no more than a cluster of houses. No raflroad, Coastal boats from Montreal and Quebec the only source of supplies and transportation in summer—dog teams in the winter. What the devil interest could the Mask have in a lo- cality such as that? He’d have to write a note to Mub vey.
