E I Outwitted by Crooner Mate J i Backed By Long Foes RIBUNE si"7! L By raul Mallon (Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon) Conversion . WASHINGTON. Jan. U. The con gressional ruah to get right with the president la virtually a atampede now. Take the houae appropriation committee, for example. Moat of the thirty-five congress men on that committee wanted to restore government wagea. Appar ently the only atrong dissenter waa Boylan of New York. The rest were eager to abolish the 16 per cent wage cut. It waa the politic thing to do. It meant more purchasing power for themselves as well as their friends in public office. Mr. Roosevelt was Informed of the acntiment In the committee and ask ed members to drop In to see him. They did and Immediately became converted to a five per cent Instead of a 15 per cent restoration. Present The convert even went ao far aa to make their report appear to be unanimous. Some who could not bring them selves around to supporting the pres ident chose to vote "present" instead of voting "nay." That kind of voting Is becoming popular for the first time at this session. The practice la frequently resorted to when items of admin istration leglalstlon come up in com mittee. It permits congressmen to avoid definite approval of presiden tial policies without being placed in the position- of actually trying to block those policies. In fact, you might say congress la Just voting "present" now for Mr. Roosevelt on nearly everything. Languor The stampede liaa gone so far that the house waya and means commit tee aleo has let the White House know It does NOT want to be mis understood on taxes. Some of its members have inform ed the president that they will drop their own tax plana and take the treasury recommendations if Mr. Roosevelt really wants them. Such underlying aentlment makes this session of congress different from any recent sessions. There appears to be an amazing absence of indi vidual assertion. It cannot be suppressed forever, but for the present, at least, the congressmen appear to be quite will ing to let Mr. Roosevelt run the country. Individual bills have been Intro duced by carload lot as usual. They suggest everything from a twenty billion dollar public works program to payment of fifty-cent claims against the government. But no one pays much attention to these bills not even the con gressmen who Introduce them. They seem to take It for granted that they will not get anywhere with their individual scheme and are content to rest on the publicity they get back home for introducing the ideas. Work The puppet (unrecognized) state of Manchoukou has opened up an unofficial embassy here. Prom a hotel suite the unofficial ambassador hands out ideas for those who care to accept them. The purpose apparently 1 to dis pel the popular Impression that the Japanese rule Manchoukou. That Is a difficult task. Even more diffi cult Is the secondary hope that the United States might recognize Man choukou. The state department can hardly be dissuaded from Its Impression that the Manchoukouana are really Japanese In Manchoukou clothing. Rules Some people teach things that they cannot learn themselves. Apparently that Is he explana tion for the mishap to a Georgia ex-congressman who visited the house the other day. When he was In congress he con ducted a school for beginners In politic. He held classes and taught congressmen how to get re-elected. His fundamental rule were: (a) Never run against an old man, (b) Never run against a young man. (c) Never run against a cripple, (d) Never commit yourself. Hla rules have not been held In high esteem alnce he failed to get re-elected himself Isat time. Notre Treasury profits to be expected from 60-cent dollar devaluation were computed wrorurly In a recent col umn. Profit would be more than four billion Instead of two billion. It emphasizes further the point that Mr. Roosevelt's budget melancholia can be almost completely cured by devaluation. Insiders are expecting amplifica tion of the silver policy by extend ing purchases to silver bullion in stead of Just newly mined silver. Cp to last Tuesday the treasury had bought Just exactly 45 of ellver under the purchase policy. Tou can imagine how much Inflation that created. The new I. C.

RUDY GOHECORD Phonograph Noted Talks With Dancer And Deceit Of Wife Revealed "Stocked Up" With Dresses, Says Rudy. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. ) Lifeless wax, like that which the voice of Rudy Vallee so often has creased with songs of love, spoke another story for him today. On evidence provided by transcrip tions of telephone conversations be tween hla wife and others one of whom was Garfield Leon, an adagio dancer Vallee won the right yester day to sue for divorce wherever he chooses. The specific ruling was a refusal by the appellate court to grant a petition of Mrs. Fay Webb Vallee by which she sought to enjoin the soft-singing maestro from seeking a Mexican di vorce. The transcriptions, obtained by "a very simple device attached to a tele phone extension and without the ne cessity of wire tapping." led Vallee to tell the court (in his affidavit) that: "My wife carried on her affair with Leon right under my roof, with shock ing callousness.' One of the phone conversations cut Into wax by Vallee's telephone devise was described In the affidavit as fol lows: Mrs. Vallee: Rudy la leaving at 10 o'clock to go to Philadelphia and I told him I would come to the sta tion. Leon: All right. Mrs. Vallee: Listen, we have to be awful careful, Oarfleld. I mean there are a lot of spies around watching us. But my chauffeur Is my chauffeur, see? So would you get In taxi and meet me In the park some place and ws can ride around the park? Leon: Oh, that sounds kind of mysterious. Mrs. Vallee: I want to see you so badly. It sounds nice, doesn't It? Leon: Yes, well, alt right. The date of that conversation, Val lee"s affidavit said, was March 23, 1033, and took place from his home, Another recorded conversation led Vallee to aver; "Not only was she (Mrs. Vallee) ac cumulating money she received from me for the purport of maintaining any Illicit love affair, but my wife told Leon she was 'stocking up . A part of that conversation quoted Mrs. Vallee as saying to Leon: "Yesterdsy I bought five dresses and three pairs of shoes and three hats. I'm stocking up." To which the voice of Leon replied: "You'd better. You're no fool." One conversation between Vallee and his wife on March 20. 1033. was reported. It went u follows: Mrs. Vallee: I called you up to tell you I love you. Vallee:: Really? Mrs. Vallee: Uh-huh. Vallee: How much? Mrs. Vallee: Oh, about fifty thous and million, billion, trillion, trillion, trillion times around -his world and all the other planets. Valle: More than anyone In the world? Mrs. Vallee: More than anyone In the world. More than anything In the world. And I really mean It, too. And I'll show you.

Political General Farley In Speech Says President Not Inflationist Jobs Given To Thwart Doles. CLEVELAND. Jan. 13.-H) Any congressman seeking to embarrass President Roosevelt and make his tasks more difficult, will. In the opin ion of Postmaster General James A.

The postmaster general expressed this and many other opinions con cerning the trend of the present ad ministration, in an address today at a luncheon opening the Cleveland automobile show. He predicted President Roosevelt would not "spread his salts before the lnflatldngale, with all the perils that beset such a course," but added that neither would the Prealdent "sacrifice the advances which have occurred in commodity prices by tak ing the views of the international bankers." He admitted that "perhaps some of the public works that are being exe cuted under the new dispensation aro not urgently necessary" but asserted: "How much better It is to have an excess of roads, or bridges or public buildings, or flood-prevention or for est preservation work, or any of the other improvements involved, than to hand out the money Jn doles, and so create a permanent class of state pen sioners.

Lea wrote, "the re port anticipates that If such a har bor Is provided, rail connection with the interior will follow and Justify the enlarged harbor. Thus, a deep sea harbor and a railroad are much dependent upon each other. One must be assured before the other can be provided." For that reason. Lea said, after conferences with proponents of the developments In Del Norte county, California, "we waive the requtit the project be adopted without a railroad. We now pray that your board recommend approval of th Robblns report subject to a provision in substance that the Improvement be dependent upon satisfactory as surances to the secretary of war that a railroad be built within a reason able time from Crescent City to Grants Pass." The basic problems of the mld Paclflc Coast area, Lea added, are to secure both the railroad and the harbor, each to aid the other.
