BY BRUCE CATTON The gentleman wWho caught a bear by the tail, and who found hanging on a trying proposition, but didn't dare let go, because things would be very much ‘worse if he did, seems 1o have had nothing on the present administration in Its civil works program. 0 + The adniinistration has been spending something like $50,000,000 a week on civil works emphoyment. At that rate the existing fund will be (,:‘;(haustgd by the middle of February. The President has .asked Congress to vote $350,000,000 more 1o carry the job along; yet it would require ' mote than twice that sum to take the program through May 1, if the present rate of operations is maintained. ¢ Right here the administration would seem to have a wide-open chance to get itself into a lot of grief. ‘ .- The tough part of it is that, back of these stu pendous sums of money, there is a mupendous‘ number of human beings who will get a cruel and tragic disillusionment if the problem is not han dled just so. Also, though it might be mean to mention the fact, they are all voters. Already the CWA is showing signs of creaking. Money is beginning to run short. Hours of work have, been reduced. In some localities men are "being laid off. ; ' ; The theory, of course, is that the CWA program can be tapered off as private business revives suf= ficiently to absorb the men who are discharged. But that time hardly seems to have arrived. One locality, where CWA men are being laid off, reports that applications for relief have been in creasing of late. It would take an optimist to be lieve that prosperity .will return so fast that pri vate business can absorb all 4,000,000 CWA men by next May. | The administration has on its hands a program which cannot be continuved indefinitely, but wmchl ¢annot be cut off suddenly without causing profound | disappointment to a great many people. ‘ These CWA men had not had jobs for a long “time—for years, in many cases—before the govern-! ment put them to work. Many of them had been on | the relief rolls. J To cut them adritt now before new jobs are open would be cruel. ‘ ‘So what? Well, the administration would seeml to be up against one of its biggest tests., It mwn( not exactly be between the devil and the deep blue sea, but it at least can understand the omotlons} which beset the gentleman who had a bear by the tail. There isn’t much question that Al Smith has lost a good deal of the {opulm‘ity which wag his a few years ago. If he wants to regain it, however, all he has to do is get his name hissed and booed a few more times by the henchmeén of Tammany Hall. ‘When ;he_fl'ammy.ny speakers’ bureau held its annual dinner theé other night, and bestowed a hearty razzberry on ’.i'the name of Mr. Smith, ‘the tendant - ward~heelesis unintentionally — gave the §ntle‘man _quite a_compliment. The nature of the ¢ompliment becomes apparent when you. reflect’ that immediately afterward they gsavand c.eered heartily at a mention of the name former Mayor Jimmy Walker, ¥To be hissed by the braves of Tammany is to get é‘ accolade, of a sort, which is really worth get g. The man who displeases Tammany is pretty apt to be a man who has done something in the g:terest of the public at large. :It is hard to avoid a feeling of dazed wonder at the way in which some restaurants have under ken to announce the fact that they now are Ily selling wines and hard liquors. LA certain floweriness, & euphuistic turn of speech ®hich could call a spade nothing less than a gleam g instrument for the turning dver 'of the rich )psom of mother earth—or something like that— %’n’s to be coming into vogue. ; | “We find cocktails referred to: as ‘“those priceless ‘adjuncts of graceful lving.™ C%amiiaxne becomes “the imprisoned laughter of the peasant girls of France.” And whiskey now and then is praised in :fix;l:)n which nowhere actually. mention . the word! el 3 . robably, this sort of thing.is all for the best. ‘i ybe it's just an inevitable reaction from an era in which we talked bluntly of dago red, bathtub gin and corn likker. But it does, somehow, seem just a trifle odd. - ; ; ! HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP £ . £ . 1 > * : By DAN THOMAS - : NEA Service Staff Carrespondent. HOLLYWOOD.—She has more. enemies than al- | most any other persen in Hollywood—and more real friends. - ¢ y : The 93-pound package that is Constance Bennett j§ perfectly content to let this situation exist un changed. Her friends are staunch ones and her ene mies largely are born of fear. There isn’t much doubt that Connie is Holly wood’s most independent person. She's that way because she has learned that her word is law most of the time, and therefore, she can protect what she regards as her rights. However, she is very cooperative and will endure ag' number of inconveniences so long as she feels there is reason for them. Nine-tenths of the persons who work with the reison other than that Connie is very outspoken and has a positive mind. She isn't at all alomatic. No matter what she thinks, she is sure, in her own blond star scared to death of her and for no mind, that she's right. gonsequently. she makes very definite statements and refuses to change unless the pérson to whom she is talking can convince her she's wrong. And b@&use of the positive note in her voice, most por-l sons are afraid to say more than, “Yes, Miss Ben i j rankly, I admire the actress for the manner in ch she has conquered Hollywood, riding roug}x-l shod over all who have stood in her way. For a 93- pound girl to give our tough producers a dose of ir own medicine and make them like it is an achievement. #nd even among those who are enemies, through r fear of her straight-from-the-shoulder manner speech; there are dozens who admire her for ths quality. ¥t was as a girl that Miss Bennett acquired her fl‘itin: spirit. Shunning dolls, tiny: stoves, and other toys so dear to the hearts of miost small girls, “was a tom-bov. . ‘3!@‘ childhood was spent largely in the company ofs boys, plaving their games and mixing in their agtles. Naturally she, too, had to be a fighter, to niect her own, rights. ‘' And that fighting spirit has 1 the prevailing factor in carrying her to her present position. * . ! None of the tom-boy is left in Conne today, however. She is entirely feminine—one bit of evi dence being the scores of perfume bottles adorning g: W—mirroi'ed dressing table. And those ! . drawn by hér, hanging on her bathroom fl“ would be found only in the most feminine 3 = e i Al ~ e S o s 5 SWAT SR 5 o, 3 | ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE Looking back over the p ast ten months, since President Roosevelt ‘took charge of the affairs of this nation, his achievements have been more than it was believed to be humanly possible. With a nation, prac [tically bankrupt; a people, mot only dis turbed, mentally, physically and financi ally, but almost in a state of insurrection | bordering on a ¢ ivil uprising, he has re- Istored the morale of the people and pro vide employment for millions: of idle peo- Iple. Under the Hoover administration, ,the Jarge interests of the country were in | complete control of the government. They icxcrciscd a power over industr'y, commerce land finances, that bottled up all avenues |for a recovery of the nation. The people were calling on the government for relief; the service men camped in and around "Washington, seeking relief, but in their appeal,, to President Hoover a deaf ear !was turned to the men who had offered {to make the supreme sacrifice in order to imake the “world safe for Democracy”. After exhausting their pleas and resources, ‘they demanded of their government a fair deal. They were rebuked by an order from 2President Hoover calling out the army to ‘eject these service men from the seat of their government. [ If this condition had lasted, this nation 'would have been torn from center to cir cumference by its own people, driven to | desperation and despair. The people were in a state of mind bordering on a revolu tion. The uprising was near at hand, but with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency of the United States, it gave hope and encouragement and during the few months that he has been in office, confidence has been restored and the country is rapidly approaching settled and normal conditions, In a recent address before the Woman’s Democratic club in Washington, D. C., Senator James F. Byrnes, of South Caro lina, gave a most interesting picture of the unrest and lack of confidence among the people of the nation, just prior to the re tirement of Herbert Hoover as president of the United States. In part, Senator Byrnes, said: “People had lost confidence not only in govérnment, but had lost confidence in themselves. As an evidence of the unrest, when the economy bill of 1932 was under discussion and it was proposed to make a deduction of 10 per cent from every check paid by the TUnited States government, Mr. Hoover made to a committee of five senators, of which I was a member, the re quest that the cut be not applied to the enlisted men of the army and navy. “Though he did not so state, T knew that he must have had in mind the fact that when Britain, following for a while the same policy of deflation, reduced the pay ;of the enlisted men of its navy, that the sailors of the British fleet, whose lovalty 'had been the proud boast of Englishmen in all generations, were guilty of mutiny. The President of the United States made the request because of his information as to conditions existing in this country, stat !ing that in the event an emergency arose, he did not want to be forced to rely upon an army and navy among whose enlisted men there might be any discontent or dis satisfaction because of reduced compensa tion. To the reqryest we readily assented.” The success of President Roosevelt has been most remarkable; the people and the Congress of the United States have sup ported him loyally in all of his recovery measures. Not only has this support come from the Democrats, but large num bers of Republicans have joined with the President giving to him their loyal sup port. It was, indeed, fortunate for the people of this' country that Mr. Roosevelt was elected to the office of president. If it had come six months later, it is evident that the people of this nation would have been invoived in a civil uprising of far-reaching demoralization for all the people. REVISION OF INCOME TAXES The new ' income tax law now before Congress, is calculated to reach the large interests of the country. If it is enacted into law, it is estiruated that it will bring into the treasury of the United States, at deast $200,000,000. Last summer when the congressional committee held an investigation of the large banking institutions of the country, through technicalities of the present law, everyone escaped the payment of an in come tax. J. P. Morgan told how he and his wealthy partners who paid $11,000,000 of income taxes in 1929, paid none in 1930, 1931 and 1932 because ‘‘our capital losses were such as té more than wipe out all our income and leave nothing taxable.” Rep resentatives of other large banking and bond institutions testified that they had not paid anything to the government for the same reason as given by Mr. Morgan. In the investigation, which lasted sev eral weeks, it was shown that the monied interests of the country had takem advan tage of the technicalities of the law and avoided the payment of just income taxes. The little fellow, however, paid his full part and even more. It is believeg that the proposed income tax measure will be pass ed, and that hereafter the big interests of this country will be forced into making lhonest returns and paying a just tax on their holdings.

The political clans gather at the capitol, exchange news from the various sections of the state, and when it is all piled up and assort ed out, it looks s like the . “last round up.” If all of the rumors were publjsh@d. practically all of the state house officers would be lead to believe that opposition was bound - to spring up against them, H?rd times have not pass ed entirely and those holding jobs live in constant dread of some fellow bobbing up and an'uuncing for his office. It is just a little early for announcements, but not too early to Kkeep the -office-holder from becomilg nervous. We were over at the capi-~ tol and every elective state house officer was interested in finding out if any opposition to them had been heard of. “None, to our knowledge,” was our reply, but that did not satis fy them, for several of them re marked, “well, you are the first person that has been in our office, who had not heard of ‘Tom, Dick and Harry' considering running.” And, such reports may be true, but there is time yet in which to get “het up” over politics. The primary will not be held ‘until September and the. entries will probably not close until some-time in June, about a three months’ campaign, all during the summer months, peach and watermelon season. e ik First Publisher: “Pretty dull magazine you're getting out.
