. Suspicions
WASHINGTON, DM. 1 It Is ' an
open secret at the White House that
the President has grown distrustful
of the politicians even In his own In
ner circle.
Certain unmentionable Instances
have aroused his suspicions recentl.
Doubt has been raised In his mind as
to how far he can count on some of
his own followers. Also as to how
much disinterested devotion can be
expected from some of his officials.
It is not entirely the money policy.
The break In the cloistered circle on
that point Is only a minor part of It.
Par more Important Is the evidence
that some of his associates have per
sonal ambitions of their own. Also
that they Intend to look out for their
own welfare not his.
Trust
Perhaps the situation may be de
scribed more politely by saying that
Mr. Roosevelt is determined from here
on to surround himself with trusts!
old friends on whom he can count no
matter what happens.
That Is why he has chosen tried and
true associates for the last three big
appointments. That also explains why
Treasury Director Morgenthau la dis
regarding political considerations and
Installing his New York friends at
key positions in his department.
Likewise It furnishes the motive for
bottling up news and letting It flow
out only through single, trusted
mouths.
Liquor
When the appointment of a liquor
cr.ar came up. one of the directing of
ficials told his associates:
"We want a man they cannot buy."
Before that, the we boys would not
4 let a regular government official even
handle the liquor code discussions.
Morgenthau dug up an old friend In
New York called Eddie Orccnbaum
and surrounded him with other
friends who worked out the code.
When the final appointment of the
czar was made, Mr. Roosevelt chose
one of his old pals. Joseph H. Choate.
a New York attorney.
Mr. Roosevelt started this current
of affairs when he chose Morgenthau
to direct the treasury. Morgenthau
had no particular experience to quali
fy him for the post. Neither were
there any political considerations In
volved. The same psychological symptoms
were noticeable In the choice of Mar
tin Conboy, another old Roosevelt
friend, as dlstilct attorney In New
York.
Reasons
This Is more unusual than It may
appear off-hand.
Ui to now It has been generally
aasurned an appointee can be trusted
until It Is dcllnltely developed other-
wise.
No overt acts led the trusted few
to think otherwise, only a aerlea of
peculiar Inner conditions and devel
opments. There appears to be no evi
dence, for instance, that any one hu
sold out or that any bartering Is In
Immediate contemplation.
In connection with the liquor mat
ter they had In mind only the unfor-
tunate conditions before prohibition
when politics was reputed to be sadly
intertwined with the liquor business.
They do not want that to happen
again.
Results
7 Nevertheless it Is quite apparent
that If Mr. Roosevelt continues to
feel the way he does now, he is going
to establish a tighter circle of Inti
mates than any president has had be
fore. Their allegiance will be personal
rather than political. Their ambitions
will be his.
The only limitation on it Is whether
he has enough of that kind of friends
to carry the idea much further.
Retrenchment
The reason Louis Howe decided not
to renew his radio contract was be
cause ha found hit official position
handicapped his speeches.
He could not give any newi without
making the newsmen angry. He was
not free to campaign for administra
tion policies in any satisfactory way.
That la the same discovery made hy
Prof. Moley when he tried writing
avndlcated weekly articles while he
still was assistant state secretary.
Practical considerations will prevent
men In public office from engaging in
such enterprlsea In the future.
That phase of new deal publicity Is
about over.
Looks
Wall streetera are growling on the
Inside that the gold price la leaking
out in London ahead of time.
They say Morgcnthau's efforts to
protect the treasury against leaks
have been successful domestically, but
not with the British. There Is evi
dence that .London knew the new
to'.d price ta.t Wednesday eight or
nine minutes before It was announced
h're.

SALEM, Dec. 3. (AP) Oregon, as
a state will witness only a few days
of unlicensed and uncontrolled sale
of alcoholic liquors after the repeal
of the 18th amendment next Tuesday.
The Oregon legislature, In extraordi
nary session would pass the Knox
control bill by the end of next week,
legislative leaders predicted, and with
the governor's signature, It would be
come effective at once.
During the week or less Interim
there can be no restriction upon
liquor sales, except that provided by
the federal government or by the sup
ply and price. The only laws effec
tive In the state would be those In
force on driving automobiles while
intoxicated and city ordinances on
drunkenness and similar offenses re
sulting from too much imbibing.
The only control of sale and dis
tribution would be within munlcl
palltlea where ordinances now In ef
fect regulate or prohibit sale of
liquors. Outside of municipalities
the "ltd will be off."
The Knox control measure, which
may be amended further In the sen
ate, would pass In substantially the
same form as approved late yester
day by the house, it was predicted.
It carrlea the emergency clause, which
would make It effective at once upon
the signature of the governor.
The plan provides, for state-owned
liquor stores and designated dispen
saries, governed by a commission of
three persons, one from each congrea-.
alonal district. The commission
would be appointed by the governor,
and aalea of any liquors, other than
wines and beers of less than 14 per
cent alcoholic content which may be
served with meala at hotela. restau
rants and clubs, would be In package
form only through these dispensaries.
The measure does not carry any tax,
making it possible to attach the emer
gency clause and not make It aubject
to referendum. License to purchase
Is provided In the measure, but the
revenue to the state would come
through profits of state-owned stores.
The senate today expected to re
ceive the house bill and send It to
the committee at once. The measure
Is now being engrossed with house
amendments to present It to the aen
ate. What amendments would be
made would not materially change
the atate-owned plan. It was believed,
and a canvass of the senate Indi
cated enough votes were obtained to
assure Its passage.
On the eve of the repeal of the
18th amendment, the senate alco
holic control committee will hold a
public hearing on the bill. The com
mittee then would prepare It for In
troduction In the senate probably by
Wednesday. Debate In the senate
would start about Thursday and the
governor's signature was anticipated
Saturday night following conference
committee action to have both house
nii senate concur In amendments.
This would be the procedure If pres
ent inaicaiions noia true.

Legal Aspects and Tax

WARM SPRINGS. Ga., Dec. 3. fl)
President Roosevelt wound up a
carefree two weeks stay here tonight,
cleaning up his table In the cottage
On 'Pine mountain with the signature
of the liquor Import code.
He will reach Washington Monday
with a complete machine established
to control the liquor Industry from
the moment of repeal of prohibition
Tuesday.
The liquor import code provides a
minimum amount of Importations
baaed on the five year average of
1910 to 1014 and leaves to the dis
cretion of the federal alcohol control
administration the amounts to be al
lowed above this minimum base of
about 4.000.000 gallons of hard liquor
annually. The administration has laid
down the principle that additional
amounts will be based upon the needs
of the consumers and not of the Im
porters. Edward G. Lowry, special as
sistant to the secretary of the treas
ury and a member of the alcohol ad
ministration, brought the liquor code
here.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. p) Do
meatic distilleries were moving at full
blast and Importers were having liq
uor on fast boats In foreign port
today m a hurried effort to meet the
expected demand for legal spirits
Tuesday upon Presidential proclama
tion of repeal.
President Roosevelt will return from
his vacation at Warm Springs to re
ceive notification that thlrty-slx
states the number necessary to
amend the constitution have rati
fied the twenty-first amendment re
pealing prohibition. He plans to Is
sue his proclamation Immediately up
on that notification.
Perhapa for quick action, Acting
Secretary of State Phillips today asked
the governors of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Utah to Inform him immediately
of the results of repeal conventions
in those states Tuesday. Thlrty-thrte
states have ratified.
The president's and the state de
partment's proclamations are to be
Issued simultaneously. In a move
prevent Interference with their Is
suance, the government today asked
dismissal of legal proceedings that
have been brought In the District of
Columbia supreme court to block the
action.

The Webb -Ken yon act of 1813 which
remains on the statute books after the
passing of the Volstead act puts on
Uncle Sam the responsibility of pro
tecting dry states from liquor ship
ments. Even more pressing from the federal
standpoint is the administration of
the codes and marketing agreements
written to enable supervision .at ths
source of the business.
Interlaced with this Is the proper
federal tax to yield substantial rev

LINDBERGHS SET
FOR AIR HOP O'ER
Flight From Africa to Brazil
Dotted With Ships and
General Conditions Re
ported Favorable.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3. (AP) Colo
nel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh,
who have flown from the arctic to
the equator In five months' aerial
survey, were poised tonight for an
1875-mile flight across the South At
lantic.
I The airport at Natal, Brazil on
; the easternmost tip of South Amer
ica was preparing to receive the fa
mous aviators, who have been at
Bathurst, Gambia, South Africa, since
Thursday.
It was estimated the low winged
monoplane, equipped with special
pontoons for the strenuous voyage
started July 0, would require 14 hours
to span the ocean. Lindbergh ex
pected to take off at midnight, east
ern standard time.
The voyage would not be so lonely
as Lindbergh's solo flight across the
Nortfi Atlantic In 1927, for one-third
of the way across the South Atlantic
Is the German steamer Westfalen,
anchored as a guide for Germain
malt planes which make regular trips
across the span.
St. Paul Island Is half way across
and the Pan American Airways op
erates five wireless stations on the
coast of Brazil.
Lindbergh's ship la equipped with
a wireless set.
For the curly-haired Lindbergh, the
flight would be his third across the
Atlantic. His wife, relief pilot and
wireless operator, was with him on
his second trip, made by easy stages
from Newfoundland to Denmark.
The path across the South Atlantic
always Is dotted with vessels, either
plying from Europe to South Amer
ica, or irom SouWi . America to m
United States. The general flying
conditions over that part of the At
lantic are much better usually than
over the North Atlantic.

AL'S CRITICISM OF
F.D.R. POLICY HELD
LEADERSHIP BID
New York Sun Says Smith
Aims 'To Check Roose
velt and Radicals With
Conservative Vote.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. (AP) Alfred
E. Smith's criticism of the monetary
and public works policies of the
Roosevelt administration has started
speculation In political quarters here
as to whether the former governor
Is bidding for leadership of the con
servative element In the Democratic
party.
Smith's editorial demand for re
turn to the gold standard and his as
sertion afterward that the public
works program had fatled came only
a fortnight after he had made a so
cial call on President Roosevelt at
the White House.
There have been recurring reports
that the former governor, his pnrtys
candidate for president In 1928. might
seek the Democratic nomination for
United States senator next year. The
term of Senator Royal 8. Copeland,
a Democrat, expires at that time.
To these reports Smith has re
mained silent. He could not be
reached today for comment on the
possibility he might seek to organic
the -party's right wing.
The New York Sun, discussing
Smith's editorials, said:
"Smith has now broken completely
away from Roosevelt and It will be
surprising If the happy warrior does
not fltcp to the front as the recog
nized exponent of the conservative
faction of the party.
"Just what practical steps In poll-
tics Mr. Smith may take If he seeks
to check Roosevelt and the radicals.
will not be determined for several
months, but the natural procedure
would seem to be Tor him to becomo
a candidate for United States senator
next year If the polittml set-up In
this state lends Itself to his candi
dacy.
"That has been talked about for
a long time, but Bmlth has shown no
Inclination to go to the senate."
Observers commented on Smith's
statement on his call for "sound
money" that he was too old to be
regular Just for the snke of party
regularity. They recallrd. too, that
he remained silent during the mu
nicipal campaign last month In which
t.he Tammany candidate. Mayor John
P. O'Brien, was defeated for re-elec

BE FAIR, FAITHFUL
General Johnson Declares In
Philadelphia Need Is to
See Principles, Not Mis
takes of New System
PH rLADELiPHIA, Dec. 3. ) Hugh
S. Johnson, NRA administrator, at a
maia meeting tonight satd that "this
la above all a time to be faithful and
fair."
Labor has had plenty to complain
about In NRA," he said. "So has In
dustry."
"You can't inaugurate a new sys
tem of economic relations without
making mistakes, but the essential
question is not of the mistakes, It is
the new system Itself.
'If you hare faith In that the point
of attack is not NRA, but the mis
takes of NRA. I believe with all my
heart in the principle of NRA and in
stead of resisting the attack on ths
mistakes of NRA I will lad It. That Is
the only way to get what I believe
about 00 per cent of the people In the
country hope for.
"It Is always a good thing to get
back to original sources and I want
to read to you a part of the declara
tion of the policy In the first para
graph of NIRA."
After reading the provision relat
ing to the elimination of unfair com
petition and to the fullest possible
utilization of Industry's productive
capacity, Johnson satd:
"Any executive has a duty to sx
ecute ths law as he finds it, with
sympathy and common sense. What
then Is NRA supposed to do?
"Well. It Is to promote the organi
zation of Industry In trade groups for
cooperative action.
"That ws have tried to do with,
every force at our command and we
have been roundly criticized for t.
"We are to 'induce and maintain
.united action of labor and manage
ment under adequate governmental
sanction and supervision for all ths
purposes of ths stated policy,
"I think this Is ths most Import
ant clause of all."
Johnson quoted ths president's
statement of policy on the day ths
NRA set was signed, In which hs
referred to the creation of labor. In
dustrial and consumers boards.
Continuing hs said: 'This was ths
device for getting united action of
labor and management. For this pur
pose we have balanced this whole
organization between men of ths
management and men of ths labor
type. As to ths deputies, I navs
tried to get men In whom I believed
I could rely to be Impartial. They
represent Vie Idea of adequate gov
ernmental sanctions and supervision.
"Of the divisional administrators,
one Is a scientist, one an editor, ons
the head of a great credit reporting
company, and ons a retired army of
ficer who once had charge of ths
greatest buying and manufacturing
program on which this government
ever engaged.
"These men are faithful to ths
principles of the law they are sworn
to enforce. Every r.ct of theirs Is
subject to ths scrutiny of both ths
Industrial and labor boards, but for
svery final action not taken by the
president himself I am wholly and
solely responsible."
