ronage struggle ha all Insiders tit
tering behind their hands.
They admonish their Irlends to tell
rio one about it. least of all Ickes.
But he has alrcndy begun to amell
a mouse.
Apparently Mr. Ickes thought he
had aubdued Farley when he put
handcuffs on Emll Hurja. the Par
ley man Prlday In the public works
act-up. Ickes gave Hiu-Ja an obscure
office and told him to keep out of
the way.
Ickra then entrusted patronage to
his executive assistant, Ebert K. Bur
lew. That hurt Mr. rarley'a feeling!.
As fur as he w concerned. Ickes
might as well havo chosen Herbert
Hoover to dispense patronage. Bur-
lew Is a holdover from the Hoover
regime.
The Scheme.
Mr. Hurja was hurt, too. He be
came meek and apologetic. He was
Just a big misunderstood man. All
he wanted to do was to play around
a little with patronage, even if he
could not be important.
So finally he worked out a scheme
whereby he could draw up a list of
political eiiglblcs for appointments.
He had files, fllca and Tiles, showlns
how hard each voter worked for Mr.
Roosevelt. He had records contain
ing the political and moral gene
alogy of every job-seeker.
It was agreed Burlew would call on
Huria whenever a Job was open.
Hurja would submit 10 or 15 names
of ellglbles with their records. Bur
lew would then make the selection
The Trick.
Hapless Emll went about that
business with a shrewdness that de
served reward. He knew the man he
wanted for each Job. The problem
wis to put his selection over on Bur
lew. Tile records helped. One man in
the list always was made out to be
an angle. The others were always
villains.
But this system was hazardous, be
cause Burlew occasionally chose the
villains. Hurja fixed that by sub
mitting only one name two or three
days before an appointment was to
be made. Then he would become en
tangled in hla records until the last
moment. When Burlew called on him
for other names. Huria would offer a
half dozen Inconsequential ones if
h offered anv at all.
The result waa that, unbeknown to

The wounded Mr. Hurja was' Just j
as efficient when it came time to se
lect a Republican on the deposit In
surance corporation. Mr. Hurja knows
what kind of Republicans he wants In
office, as well as Democrats..
A certain Republican authority sub
mitted to him a list of several men
from which to choose. Hurja was
sorry, but he already Sad a list of
hia own. Furthermore, the list sub
mitted by the Republican did not
have the records of the men on It.
Nothlnc could be done until cacn
name on the Republican list was ac-
' companicd by the man's record for
TEN years back.
By the time thia was done, the ap
pointment was made. Mr. Hurja was
sorry but the appointment had to be
made from hia list because the other
list wasn't ready.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 18.
(AP) Prime Minuter stauning a
declaration before the Polketlng yes
terday that the Southern Danish
frontier would be defended to the
limit, was featured In the whole Dan
ish press today.
In connection with reports that

ed. the premier told the folketlng
(lower legislative branch):
"The frontier will be defended by
all the means at our disposal!"
Counted with comment on the
speech, in line with Staunlng's as.
sertlnn that the Slesvlg frontier Is
the frontier of the whole of Scand
inavia, the Danish press quoted with
evident approval a hot editorial reply
from the Swedish Svenska Dagbladct
to recent hints that Sweden was not
behind the so-called Scandinavian
frontier. '
Dagbladet said:
"Sweden fully shares without devi
ation from other Scandinavian opin
ion the Danish conception of the
1920 frontier between Denmark and
Germany."
Slesvlg, the southern part of Jut
land, Denmark, comprises approxi
mately the northern section of what
was the German province of Bchlea-wlg-Holsteln.
This territory went to
Denmark in a plebiscite held in 1920
under the provisions of the treaty of
Versailles.
Danish newspapers for several
months have been perturbed over the
reputed German agitation in Danish
Slesvlg for the return of that terri
tory to Germany. Several of them
said that German emissaries had
gone to Slesvlg to form Nazi groups.
One Nazi, speaking at a public
meeting, was reported to have said:
"We want no war, no new plebiscite,
but the return of North Schleawig
to Germany through -negotiations be
tween Copenhagen and Berlin."
Both chambers of the Danish par
liament last April adopted a bill pro
hibiting the wearing of political uni
forms and emblems and Increasing

President Roosevelt feels that al

per cent since the average for the
year that ended last March, they are
not yet high enough.
An economist for the executive
council has presented figures to the
President, showing the product the
farmer sod in September brought 32
per cent more than in the 13 months
ending with March.
In the aame period, lt was stated
In official quarters today that the
economist had reported the cost of

U per cent.
Figures also have been submitted to
the President showing that factory
employment in September compared
with 1920, had recovered two-fifths
of its decline, and the Income of fac
tory workers had regained a quarter
of the loss, while the costs of living
rose 9 per cent from March to Sep
tember. WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. fPi A

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Oct..
17. Tho best omen ot interna
tionnl (rood will is that, confer-.
fincos nrc getting shortor. Now
if they will tlo away with 'era
entirely there will be no war.
The biggest one ever held
was at Versailles after tho war
and all tho others held since
then was to fix something that
was done wrong at that one.
The biggest disarmament con
ference was at Washington in
19:12 and all the other disarma
ment ones have been held to try
and fix what was done wrong
at that one. So the ideal tHinff
is, don't hold tho original con
ference, then you won't havo to
hold any more to fix anything.
The same bunch of delegates
go to all of 'em anyhow, so just
put 'em on a government pen
sion, let 'em put on their high
lints, take movies of 'em and
play like they was at a confer
ence. i. QW Ktfjuy mJIt! Im.
