Falling Out.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. There
was a rather aerlous row In the Inner
circle about the export-Import bank
matter.
It may lead to the retirement ol
George Peek as presidential adviser on
foreign trade.
Apparently Mr. Peek sold Mr. Roose
velt the scheme for making the bank
a great credit pool, lending money
to foreign nations to buy our goods.
The Hull-Roper faction objected
strenuously. They want to promote
foreign trade through tariff bargaln
' Ing.
Because of their objections, Mr.
' Roosevelt recalled his executive order
creating the bank and radically
limited Its field of operations. He
gave It only eleven million dollars
Instead of a hundred million and de
creed that It should extend credits
only to Russia.
Consequences.
Th Mull crowd la whlsnerlne the
word around that Mr. Roosevelt will
keep the bank confined to Russia.
They assert the president is definitely
against the general policy of lending
more money abroad for any purpose.
He regards the . Russian situation as
exceptional.
That undoubtedly means State Sec
retary Hull and Commerce Secretary
Roper will run the foreign trade pol
icy, which leaves Mr. Peek out In the
cold.
Incidentally, Mr. Peek never estab
lished his office In the state depart
ment building. He Is still down at
his agriculture ofrlce. The state de
partment people have a fixed policy
of Ignoring him. They have more
or less resented his intrusion In what

Boys.
Jesse Jones has a peculiar tech
nique for handling the business
plants with whom he does business
through the RFC.
Recently he called a conference of
the heads of all companies in one of
the largest industries. One of the
companies wanted a loan from the
HFC to save it from bankruptcy.
Jones did not want to make the loan,
but he wanted to save the company.
When he got the industrialists
around a table, Jones started off the
conference by saying:
"When I was a little boy, the dog
or one of my playmates died. The
boy felt awfully bad about It and we
wanted to do something for him. An
other kid came forward and said: I
feel sorry 25 cent worth' and put
down a quarter. Another kid did th?
same thing, and soon we had enough
to buy a new dog."
. Jones looked around the table.
I raised his evebrows and awaited the
response. Soon one big shot mum
bled: "All right. I feel sorry $100.
000 worth." The others chipped in
similarly.

BY EARLY SPRING
Saturday Payday Assured,
But Number of Weeks Re
maining Problematical
South Break Ranks First
WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. (vP) CWA
workers will be paid off aa usual Sat
urday, thanks to congress' belated
passage of the $950,000,000 relief ap
proprlatlon, but how many more
weeks' work they will get remains
problematical.
President Roosevelt is determined
to get rid of the whole system us
soon as possible. He hopes CWA will
be a thing of the past by late spring.
Demobilization already Is underway,
and the ranks will be cut as fast aa
relief officials find It possible.
Although nothing has ben made
publtc as to what form the demob
ilization will take, it was regarded
as probable that each state would be
instructed to reduce its CWA rolls
by a fixed percentage each week for
the 10 weeks between now and May 1
Details as to projects to be discon
tinued or cut down likely will oe
left to state and county administra
tors. Social service workers may be
sent into communities by the state
administrations to study the local
sluationa and decide the best place
to make the cuts.
Smith lilt First.
Demobilization will likely start In
what is known as the deep south,
where truck gardening and other farm
work Is already going full blast. A
reduction of at least 10 per cent
weekly in the number of workers la
expected tn these sections. Lesser re
ductions during the remainder of
February and the first two weeks of
March probably will prevail tn the
more northerly areas with gradual
larger cuts until May 1.

Attorney Manning waa a regtilar
attendant here for years at the

About ten years ago Manning made
