1939 SYMBOL AND PORTENT Within a few hours after making a speech urging an end "to the ancient practice of passing out-government jobs in payment of political debts" Atty. Gen. Murphy announced that he is trying to find a berth for that lamest of lame ducks, former Sen. Thomas Heflin. The government payroll is not "a legitimate field for charity and benevolence toward special groups nnd persons who lack qualification for public service." Mr.
Murphy stated in his speech. No more pat and poignant criticism of the proposed appointment can be imagined. The Heflin development gives a hollow ring to the attorney general's whole speech demanding economy in the public payroll. It is doubly a pity, for this is a cause which sadly needs a champion. As Mr.
Murphy said, 13 per cent of the income of the average family goes to meet the governmental payroll. But'this is only half the story. If we include the whole post running the governmental state and the total is more than one-fourth of the national income. There is a limit to the tax load which the private economy can carry. When the proportion of income drained off by government becomes too great, private enterprise is crushed and resort must be had more and more to artificial stimulants.
Tom.Heflin is a symbol of a vital weakness of the New readiness to find a spot for party hacks who.come asking a place at the public trough. WEEK-END SEASON The Wisconsin assembly has prepared a substitute amendment to joint resolution 105-A, which deals with hunting and fishing seasons. The legislature has been fussing about this matter for some time. It ought to be left to the conservation commission, without interference by the legislature. It comes much nearer being an administrative than a legislative function.
Anyway, a lot of men no longer work on Saturdays, so they have at least two full days off over each week-end. Therefore, they want all hunting and fishing seasons to open on Saturday mornings. In the past, some seasons have so been opened by the conservation commission, but others have been opened on a fixed May 25, or Nov. that meant a Monday, Thursday or any other day. The boys with free week-ends have been squawking about this.
Why not let them start shooting or fishing on their days off? Why not make the opening day of every fishing or hunting season a Saturday? That's what the amended joint resolution 105-A proposes and, obviously, from a conservation viewpoint, it is a bad proposal. Wilderness creaiures, alternately protected and slaughtered, live through periods of confusion. Gradually, as closed seasons prevail and they see man moving harmlessly about them, they lose some of their instinctive fears and cautions. At last, just before seasons are opened, many of the creatures reach a state of semi-domesticity. Then the guns crack.
The semi- domesticated and confused creatures then are easy victims for every neophyte who gets to the fields or woods. To be sure, the old, natural, instinctive fear swiftly reasserts itself. In a few days the creatures may be wary again, but by that time the damage may be done. That's why it is bad to open hunting seasons on Saturdays. It turns loose the maximum number of hunt.

GOOD NEIGHBOR In its efforts to De a "good neighbor" to the nations of South America, the United States is extending financial credits to some of them through the Export-Import Bank.
First Brazil, then Haiti, then Nicaragua sent their emissaries to Washington and returned with funds to support their currency in dealing with American business men and to assist in public works. The most recent agreement is with Paraguay and one with Chile is in prospect. Advocates of these financial pacts claim many benefits for them, but three important effects which the Paraguay deal is expected to have are: 1. Blocking of commercial development treaty which Germany had hoped to conclude with Paraguay. 2.
Increasing business of U. S. road building equipment manufacturers who will furnish machines for highway construction wSiich credits will finance. 3. Reduction of S.
price of several non-competitive Paraguayan products by bringing them closer to market via the new roads. American citizens want to be good neighbors with South America. They also expect to see some benefits from these agreements start flowing northward soon. They all hope that our statesmen are not pouring good money into a State Press GOOD WORK, GOVERNOR (Marshfield News-Herald.) This department has been critical of Gov. Heil on quite a few occasions since he was elected to office; in fairness to him now, we wish to commend him for the splendid results he achieved in the Allis- Chalmers strike situation in Milwaukee.
The governor refused urgent requests that he call out the national guard to handle the strike situation. He insisted that local authorities maintain law and order and told the sheriff to recruit more deputies if his force was not large enough. For a time, the situation looked ugly but the sheriff did as he was told and the governor appeared personally on the scene both as a witness and as an intermediary with results that are satisfactory, evidently, to both the employer and the employes. The governor promised many things during his campaign and since his election, among them being freedom from strikes in Wisconsin. While this was absolutely impossible of fulfillment, it is evident the governor understands his labor relations.
We wish to commend him for his achievements in this respect and to hope that he may be able to settle any further labor trouble that comes up during his term in office. GOOD NEWS The anti-trust division of the Department of Justice is pursuing a widespread investigation of why it cpsts so much to build a house. This inquiry is aimed at four fronts material, distribution, contractors, labor. In a recent dispatch from Washington, Bruce Catton of NEA Service related important news regarding materials. For many years.
according to Secretary of Interior Ickes, the government has been receiving identical for building liaaterials, particularly cement. that appears to be a thing of past. Henry J. Kaiser, a newcomer to the cement business on the West coast, submitted a price for ccinent for California's Shasta which was $1,500,000 lower than other bids. which lost the contract protected.
They sought to have Kaiser's bid thrown out on technicalities. But Comptroller General Fred H. Brown has ruled that his office will not question the FEATHER IN HEIL'S HAT (Milwaukee Journal.) The Journal, as readers of these columns know, does not always see eye to eye with Gov. Heil. But we take out hat off to him for his handling of the Allis-Chalmers company strike.
He is a whole labor board in himself. Things were moving toward a serious and perhaps tragic condition of deadlock. An appeal had been made by the sheriff to the governor for state troops to maintain order. Instead of troops, the governor himself came and labored hour after hour in conferences for a settlement. We do not know what went on behind the closed doors in those conferences, or what methods of persuasion the governor employed.
There were only glimpses now and then as the doors opened a 'losed, or as scraps of the proceed- ngs were related by those who were meeting.

BART righteous bridegroom who looked at the bankbook first and his wife afterward. Yesterday: Bart loses i agency when installment buyers fail to pay. He is morose.
Then he catches a severe cold, is delirious and Iris sends for a doctor. CHAPTER XII Iris rode down to the hospital In DJC. Pitcher's coupe, right behind the would do no good, as pointed put. Mr. Whittaker-would not know anyone for several days to come.
He was a very sick man. "Business troubles?" he had asked Iris, in the little living room, after examining Bart. After telling her bluntly her husband had pneumonia. "Yes." she said faintly. "Well you look like a sensible young lady.
You go right down to your job and hold'things together. If worry got him into this state, then he'll recover a lot quicker, when he begins to gain, if he knows you are keeping things running for him. in Dean Somers' office. I believe? "Yes." It was cold and blustery and there was a raw, after-rain bite to the fall wind, but Iris walked all the way from the hospital to the office. And at noon, after she talked with Ellen Trent, she took the coat back.
"This was what Bart worried about, Iris, you see'. Budget a y- ments are fine if everything runs smooth. If nobody is sick, and everyone keeps working. Or if you've a reserve fund to fall back on." That was what frightened her. No reserve fund.
No money saved, no insurance, nothing to fall back on. And Bart sick. He'd have to stay in the hospital six weeks at least. There'd be the hospital and doctors to pay. She'd have to live.
Maybe she'd have to be the sole support of the family for a long time. If Bart didn't recover from his.illness fast. During the days that followed, the serene order of Iris' former existence vanished forever. No longer could she dawdle at breakfast, or lunch when, how, and with whom she pleased. Or on whatever she liked.
Nor were her evenings untouched by the calamity which befell them. To begin with, she went to the hospital morning, noon and night. And for five dreadful days, there was no change. For five days, she did not set foot in the room, or even get to the closed door with the nurse sitting on guard at the ward desk, outside. Pleasant, efficient, firm, the nurse was.
ri For those five days she lived in an awful nightmare of unreality. With worry, growing hydra-headed, every time she stopped working long enough to remember Bart. Remember how ill he was. Remember all that had happened, and all that was happening still to them. waiting for the uni jfficials to appear at the company clubhoust the head of a parade'of the strik.
rs. The community will hope that the agreement will be mutually satisfactory to the men in Wisconsin's largest manufacturing company that will prove a lasting agreement and we do wish the governor would bring to bear on state finances some of the tenacity he displayed in negotiating this strike settlement If he would sweat over state finances There was the shop. The speed with which creditors pounced upon the little shop, attaching everything that wasn't already being claimed by rightful owners who had not yet been paid for merchandise, was frightening. There was the Linwood Clarion, with a bill for $480 for advertising. The Clarion had to be paid.
The advertising manager insisted they must be paid. There was the landlord, talking loud and very angry about three months rent overdue. There were bills, bills, everywhere, all of them due, long past due. There were collectors and disagreeable, hard-faced men who spoke of injunctions, liens and claims, and waved long folded papers. There was young Howard Lang, attorney at law, and boyhood friend of Bart's.
And finally, there was no more shop, and peace. Except for the fact that Bart must be told. Sometime. When he was well again, when he was strong enough to bear knowing. Meanwhile, there were her own tangled budgets.
There was the Vogue Gown Shop, and the Misses' Budget Shop, and the Charlotte Shoppe. Seated at the little table Bart had enameled for her, the first week of their marriage, Iris sipped a cup of hot tea, and nibbled buttered toast and a boiled egg and a dish of baked apple. Eating mechanically, she began writing down every single bill, every account. Racking her mind lest she forget a single item. The milk bill, the drugstore, the jewelers, where Bart had purchased the diamond ring.
She had a staggering list when they were all set down. Enough to fairly kiil her appetite. But she finished the last crumb of toast, poured out the remaining half cup of hot tea and drank it. Rummaging in the desk, where Barfehad worked with the budget book, worked at his accounts, when he brought things home from the shop finish up. Iris found the littlefjjblack book.
Opening it des- pera'Ujftly, she leafed through it in feverish haste. Food, menus, buying, planning meals, using up leftovers Puddings, parties, savings, insurance, investments, planning your future. The book didn't miss a trick. "Do you need all you think you have to have now?" asked a chapter. It gave Iris pause for thought Did she? hold her tiny figurine of the god of love.
Unlike Thais, she made no reservations. Because this was voluntary, but it was also harsh necessity. Because now she understood what Bart said when he hated credit, hated budget Buying, and hated installment payments. Now she knew. It was because of the awful shame, if you couldn't pay.
The shame of knowing you had something you hadn't paid for, and couldn't pay for. Something you had no right to; that didn't belong to you. That was what lay back of every budget bought article. great black shadowy doubt. In the morning, she asked Ellen about second-hand clothes buyers.
And at noon, she went to the dry cleaning and second-hand clothes establishment. "We'd have to see the garments, madam," the man told her bluntly. "Sure we buy. But the price depends on the goods. People who buy second-hand clothes don't care about classy duds." The amount she received was so much less than she had expected, Iris was tempted not to let the clothes go.
She did really need them. bills drove her on; She sold them for what she could get, and took the money to pay on her budget accounts. She Sold the chair and smoking stand, and the furnishings in the apartment. Then she rented a big room with a double bed. and comfortable chairs, and a small bath in Mrs.
Brady's Boarding House. She moved in that Sunday, A week from' her return from her honeymoon-vacation. She moved in, and left Word at the hospital that she could be reached at Mrs. Brady's telephone. On Monday morning, she took the diamond back and received $20, since Bart had the ring almost paid' for.
The $20 cleared up an account she had been unable to pay anything on after selling the greater part of her wardrobe. Through all the trouble and confusion of those days Iris never missed her friends. Or noticed that they were curiously occupied, curiously busy, and too concerned with their own affairs to know what was happening to her, or what she was doing. And when it was all over, when the shop was closed, and a FOR RENT sign on the door, when the apartment was dismantled, and TO LET blazoning the street windows, when she was settled in her single room at Mrs. Brady's and get- ing ready to go to the hospital to see Bart, again, Iris remembered.
Bitterness crept over her, as she realized how often Yolandar and Ho, John and Marcia, and Ellen and John, as well as Don and his wife dropped in on them, called them for bridge, dancing, the movies, or dinner through each week. Bitterness filled her throat with a hard lump and tears burned along her eyelids! Then her head came up, and het chin set at a stubborn angle. All right. Let them. Bart was Coming into the hospital, that morning to see Bart, Iris was startled to see Ted Bingham waiting.
And beside him, a dark pretty girl, obviously his wife, Dotty. "Hello, Mrs. Whittaker," Ted said eagerly, "we heard Bart was sick and we came over to see if there was anything we could do. You had moved from the address Mr; Whittaker told us, and nobody 1 seemed to know where you'd gone. So we came down here." Iris felt the damp streaks on her face, the tears she had been unable to shed all the long dreary hours of 'straightening out the mess that had been her old life.
The life Bart had been unable to bear. That had worried him into neglecting i health, into this dreadful illness. she said simply, remembering Bart had called the young man that; feeling somehow that it would please Bart if she called him that now; if she was nice to him, "Ted, the very first thing I'm going to tell Bart, when he can see me, is that you two were here to see him!" She swallowed then and blinked, but the blur wouldn't vanish. "He'll be proud to know you cared," she said softly. They went out, slowly, and a nurse came toward her smiling.
"Good news for you this morning, Mrs, Whittaker. You're to see that big husband of yours for a'little while. But you'll remember not to excite or worry him won't you? And not to stay too long?" Inside the quiet, dim room that was much too cold for comfort, Iris stood by the high white bed and felt her eyes blurring so she couldn't see Bart at all. Then his hand, thin but warm, found hers and closed around it tightly. Silently, they stood thus.
Silently, while a deep, vast prayer of gratitude swelled in Iris' heart, swept up to engulf her, until it pounded and beat in her ears like thunder. "Darling," she whispered shakily, "I'm so glad I can see you." "Stand by honey," Bart tried to grin and decided it was too much work, but his dark eyes clung to her face as if hungry for every dearly beloved, familiar feature he had remembered, "everything's going to be O. K. now." "Of course, darling," Iris said steadily, "there aren't any more bills now, Bart. And when you're home again, you'll be surprised at how I can run that budget book.
I'm getting all practiced up now." He grinned then. "Wife," he said. Dimly, Iris understood. Dimly she realized that her days of being a bride, a foolish, spendthrift, extravagant bride were past. Dimly she realized that Bart understood.
And peace came to her soul. THE END. New Yorlk By GEORGE ROSS NEW YORK, June 21. Laurence Olivier is one actor who can take success or leave it alone. Now that he's taken it for some time, he declares he is going to leave it alone.
Olivier, you see, is going to stop being the summer's big matinee idol because it bores him. Feminine adultation, he finds, is a nuisance. His name in Broadway's bright lights is a fleeting pleasure. Praise for a Hollywood performance is not to be regarded seriously. New York is a good place to visit, but Olivier would not live in it, if you gave it to him.
He's just weary of it all. That is the impression of an interviewer after a brief session with the youthful, London star who is appearing opposite Katharine Cornell in the play, "No Time for Comedy." Swooned En Masse. The ladies swooned en masse when they observed Olivier in the film, "Wuthering Heights." And now disillusionment. For he thinks his part was terrible, that his lines were embarrassing to speak and that all the compliments heaped upon him were he isn't enjoying his work with Miss Cornell. It's pretty dull, he says.
Every evening two dozen female admirers wait patiently in the stage alley for him to emerge. Some of them demand his signature to be tucked away affectionately in a perfumed album. Some want to speak to him for the vicarious thrill of a personal nod of greeting. Others merely want a glimpse. Olivier wishes they all would go away, for they do not interest or intrigue him, They just make him feel melancholy and spiritually dull.
And because the dull weight 6i doing -what he's doing bears down on him so, he is going to quit Miss Cornell soon and go back to England. After that, he will return to Just to be doing something different and prevent from setting in permanently, Quick Rise, Quick Boredom. This infernal lack of enthusiasm came about rapidly.

WASHINGTON, June 21. One of the big things the New Deal was going to do back in its green and promising days was to solve the farm-tenant problem. It diagnosed the disease, described the symptoms copiously, and set to work, 'entrusting the task to the Farm Security Administration. But the Bankhead-Jones farm tenant act, with which it equipped FSA to do the job, didn't go far enough. Under the first year of that act, FSA was able to put just 1800 landless farmers on farms of their own.
This year it hopes to raise that number to 7000. It figures the maximum number it can handle under the act at a year. Meanwhile, it estimates that the number of tenant farmers and share-croppers 'is increasing at 40,000 a which leaves FSA much in the position of the cat that tried to get -but of a well by jumping up two feet and sliding back three on 4 1 too, he might come close to fulfill- i mg his campaign promise econ- Soberly, she flung open the closet door.

Now, at last, there is a fair chance that a real, two-handed effort will be made.
Pending before a Senate sub-committee is the Lee amendment to the Bankhead-Jones act, which, in effect, would apply FHA mortgage- insurance principles to the farm- purchase program to the extent of $350,000,000. Fifty -two senators have signed the bill as co-authors, rendering senate approval virtually certain. Prospects in the house, though less. bright, are still encouraging. Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma, originator of the bilJ, believes that ultimately it would get something like two-thirds of the nation's tenant and share-crop farmers back on land of their own.
Thai a large order; -M he remarks, 42 per cent ul farms, with the percentage far higher in some states. In Mississippi, for insta'ice, it is 69 per cent; in Alabama, 64; in Senator Lee's own Oklahoma it is 61. Even in Iowa and Nebraska it is slightly higher than 49. Under the existing law, the secretary of agriculture is authorized to make direct loans to tenants and share-croppers to buy farms. The Lee bill would authorize the insurance of mortgages up to $350,000,000 in three years.
The tenant would make his own deal, both he and his deal were okayed by an FSA county government would simply guarantee his mortgage. He could get up 40 years to pay, and the paper would bear 3 per cent interest. Chance for Farm youth. Actually, says Senator Lee, this $350,000,000 wouldn't be a direct outlay by the government. Most of the mortgages, he believes, would prove good.
He is especially enthusiastic about the prospect of enabling ambitious farm youngsters to establish themselves on their own farms. Thousands of these young people, be points out, come up through the 4-H clubs equipped with a bit of good livestock, boundless energy, an aptitude for farm work and an ardent desire to buy farms, get married and become independent farmers. He figures they are first-rate risks. Some of the big insurance companies are likely to approve the bill. In many cases they have had to go into the farming business on a big scale; in an Oklahoma county, for instance, one insurance company has 000 farms on its hands.
goth Senator Lee and the FSA people figure the insurance m- panles wouldn't mind getting a lot of those farms off their hands if they they wouldn't lose by it.

And if he was inwardly annoyed with them, he was careful to conceal his mood under a ready smile and a cheerful exterior. But he had not yet become a matinee idol. Now he doesn't care a tu-penny.

Holl ywoo A By PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent. HOLLYWOOD, June 21. A fight that begins on horseback and rages around a garden and through five rooms of a house is being staged by members of the star-spangled, feminine cast of "The Women," And the gals' can take it. They also can dish it out.
The slaps and hair-pulling and shin-kicking are, I can assure you, genuine. And they are not performed by doubles. When male combatants are in a fistic scene, the atmosphere usually is pretty grim. But "The Women" seem to b'e having the time of their lives, maybe because the opportunity is such a rare one. It happens in Reno and begins with the discovery that Paulette Goddard, there for a divorce, is going to marry the man whom another of the women is divorcing.
There's a hot exchange of words before Rosalind Russell yanks Miss Goddard (who looks very umphy in white shorts and red sweater) off her horse. Rosalind Russell Routed. Then the slapping match begins and it's clear from the start the cutie in ringside costume has the advantage. They wreck a table set for luncheon, and Miss Russell retreats, into the house. They go from room to room, followed by Joan Fontaine, Norma Shearer and Mary Boland, who try to intervene and suffer for it.
It finally ends in a flurry of shin- kicking and biting, after which the disheveled Miss Russell limps to get some iodine, grumbling that she'll probably develop hydrophobia. This sequence is the last to be filmed, so that black eyes and sprains can't delay production. Also, possibly, so that any real enmities growing out of the battle wouldn't spoil-the company's morale. But there have been none of those; in fact, the whole picture has gone off without the flares of temperament and jealousies that Hollywood expected.

If bicycling has come back to stay with us indefinitely, as it should, we will probably find it necessary to provide suitable bicycle paths throughout the country, thus resurrecting a much debated purpose advanced in the days of out' Post-Crescent. Bicycles on the Highway. It is evident that still more pressure must be exerted in the interests of accident prevention because bicycles have come back in abundance.
The bicyclist has just about as many rights on the highway as anyone else. And of course he has as many duties. But because so many cyclists are youths causes apprehension lest accidents cling again into a most undesirable zone. Otherwise the advent of the bicycle should be welcomed.

The New York Central operated at a deficit in 1938. But its officers should not have protested that they paid out taxes of $34,000,000 during the same period. A protest is a sign of Tory- ism.
