No one bad lull authority for the national broadcasts of either party and there waa always a last minute scurrying blther and yon. The details of tbe election eve programs wene not final ly settled until the morning of the same day. Also there were thou sands of squawks from listeners who didn't want their usual programs sidetracked. Governor Roossvelt Is privately planning to return to Warm Spring. In January. ...

Mrs. Longwortb will not go near the White House for the next four yeaia and her friends say she probably will desert Washington and return to Cincinnati. . . Despite the brave interview given out by Mn. O&nn, she bad tears on her cheeks, when she greeted Mrs. Hoover afterwards. The Roosevelt crowd to getting off on the right foot In press relations. These stories are true about Louis Howe, Steve Early and Hunter Mc Intyre comprising the new secreta riat. Early and Mclntyre will han dle the press and movie ends. Both were former Washington newspaper men and more recently In charge of local news-reel headquarters, Para mount and Pathe. They do not belong to any faction here and therefore should be accept able to the general run of the press corps. Behind the further '"postpone ment" of the disarmament conference Is the final confession that a year of effort has been wasted. The nice words that are being said about trivial agreements cannot cover the fact that the conference was one of the world's worst flops. Prank Slmonds called the turn exactly be fore It ever started. The decision to "postpone was peached after Norman Davis confi dentially advised the state depart ment that he might as well be play ing tlddle-de-winks in Palm Beach. He talked himself deaf, dumb and blind at London, Paris, Rome and Geneva, but got nowhere. His inside reports will make good reading In future histories. They show the Irony of International ideal ism in a pessimistic world. The men In charge blame the situ ation rather than any particular na tion for the underground oollapse of the conference. Prance went further In secret con ferences than she ha ever gone be fore. Hbr concessions led the officials at one time In the negotiations to predict a settlement. The French otters were not fully met by either Germany or Italy. The good offices of Oreat Britain were entirely miss ing, due to her economic plight. Ja pan waa conducting a war at the time and could not be bothered. If Roosevelt can do any better with this crowd he will have to be a magician. Captain Walter W&nderwell, globe trotter and suspected war-time spy, mysteriously slain aboard his yacht off Long Beach, Cal.. in a aea-thrlller as strange as fiction, was a visitor to the Rogue River valley last summer, spending several days In this city and Oranta pass. He endeavored to in terest a number of Josephine county people In a winter cruise aboard his yacht. He waa accompanied by his wife and two children, and made an auto trip to Crater lake.

(Associated Press Photo) WOCKNER ESCAPE NO SURPRISE FOR LOCAL OFFICIALS The escape of Warren Wockner, In Wisconsin Saturday while In the cue today of Ernest Phillips, Illinois dep uty, en route to Wataeka, 111., to face a kidnaping charge, with yeara lb prison ahefcd, waa no surprise to Jack son county official, Wockner boasted while held In the county Jail that he would escape, If an opportunity of fered, and he made good.
