Dinah rides. the running boards of Alsop’s motor car, leaping off to deliver the folded newspapers on the porches of subscribers. It took her master, a _ high school senior, a year to train her. If the pointer encounters a member of a subscriber’s family who wishes to take the newspaper from her, Di- nah looks toward her master for instructions. The job of deli: pers calls for speed. will not tarry to frolic with canine friends. She takes her job as seri- ously, her master said, that of “standing” a covey of auail. Devoted to hunt- ing as a good pointer should be, Dinah has retrieved her quota of partridges from cen- tral Virginia’s broom sage and thickets. .» CAPTAIN SEIBER TAKES COMMAND | OF OIL TANKER RELIEVES SKIPPER WHO W:AS INJURED ON VESSEL; WAS BROUGHT TO KEY WEST: AND PLACED IN HOSPITAL | Captain John Seiber, Tanker — Swiftlight, | because of riniaries received by .

Hey But everybody in munity knows about either has di! contact with it.; or he has seen its operation, or heard it discussed objectively in even the smallest gathering of his friends. Its emergence as an_ over- shadowing which might logically have been expected much earlier in 1936, was delayed by foree of circumstances. The Presi dent’s decision to postpone _ his relief recommendation was follow- ed by a season of engrossment in such issues as the bonus, farm} aid, taxation. The delay has only accentuated the final impact. Similarly, in previous phases of of the Roosevelt administration, various predecessors to Mr. Hop- kins have played temporarily the] role of exhibit No. 1. First it was Professor Mdley around whom the controversy © centered, Then it was General Johnson, then Dr. Tugwell. ‘Now, unquestionably, it is Mr. Hopkins. ‘Watch Hopkins In view of this. everything Mr. Hopkins does henceforth will come under the closest ~ political scrutiny. A great deal of the evidence on} both sides still is undisclosed. No one denies that the vast relief undertaking involved many in- evitable difficulties.
