Copyright, 1934, By Paul Mallon
Weeding
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The Whole
story of Mr. Roosevelt's anti-graft
campaign hu not been made public,
and probably never will be,
The public display la only the half
of it. On the Inside the president has
been using one excuse or another for
getting rid of a little group of nis
so-called friends and political allies
who have let themselves get talked
about In connection with government
expenditures.
It is one of those things seldom
mentioned In public. A man cannot
always prove that a friend has been
faithless, even though lie knows It to
be true.
In such cases It is usually advisable
to find a way of getting rid of the
friend, without any unpleasantness.
Plnnscle
The weeding has been so quietly
done in some Instances that even the
suspected are not quite sure why they
were pulled up by the roots.
In other cases subtle hints have
been dropped from the White House.
The victim has wisely noted them,
developed a sudden cough and banish
ed himself voluntarily.
There Is one case which Indicates
that even the highest friendship fail
ed to save the victim.
The Inner circles have noted the
moves end are winking at each other.
They accept the developments as
proof of the sincerity behind Mr.
Roosevelt's efforts to rid his adminis
tration of the parasites which inevit
ably follow a political leader and
trade on his name.
Mystery
Norman Davis secretly obtained
from the German embassy recently a
vise on a passport to Germany, He Is
the big disarmament man whose pa
tience has not yet been exhausted, al
though he has received a. cold shoul
der In every chancellory in Europe.
The natural suspicion is that Davis
In going to Germany to try his dis
armament wiles on Hitler.
When the news gets out, the excuse
probably will be offered that Dav:s
Is also chairman of a Krueger & Toll
bond committee and that he is going
to Germany in connection with Krue
ger and Toll.
Bnhy
Another reason for the Davis trip
may be those rumors that Germany
Is going to recognize Japan's baby
state Manchukuo.
All the world has declined to accent
the. baby socially. If Germany does
now, it will strengthen the suggestion
of an alliance between Berlin and
Takyo.
Our economic expert have noticed
that Germany imported $35,000,000
worth of Manehukusn soy beans last
year.
Art
The OWA subsidy to starving art
ists went over big.
Government officials are trooping
to room 168 of the treasury building
dally to get the pick of thousands of
painting, drawings and etchings for
their offices.
Interior Secretary Irkes got four o!
the best oils of Boulder dam. Treas
ury Secretary Morgenthau helped him
self. So did OWA adminisrator Harry
Hopkins. A batch is being selected for
the Whlt House by Mrs. Roosevelt.
A Jobless sign painter in a midwest
era city submitted a quite competent
oil landscape or houses in a poor
neighborhood. It was the first work
of that kind he had ever done.
Some other work .may remain in
room 168 indefinitely.
Art Dole Director Bruce gets around
500 letters a day; has sixteen regional
directors; employs artists at so much
a week and takes everything they
paint as government property. They
may paint anything they like so long
as it depicts life in America today.
Most of the artists have been doing
murals, background and decorations
for government buildings.
A permanent government art sub
sidy may grow out of this thing.
Taxes
The tax bill will not be changed
materially in the senate.
Senators have looked over the meas
ure being passed now In the house
and they agree it Is a fairly good bill.
That makes it certain that the final
form of the law will be substantially
what the treasury department and
house worked out.
It represents a sensible effort to
utop tax evasions and distribute the
burden equitably. It Is not perfect,
but far better than previous efforts.
Note
Several of Mr. Parley's friends are
reported to have fainted when they
read that James J. Walker had been
appointed clerk of the court in the
Panama Canal rone. They were re
vived upon learning that It it a dif
ferent Jimmy Walker.

145 Signatures Obtained to
Get Proposition Before
House Senate Attitude
Not Known Veto Certain
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. ( AP )
Despite expressed opposition by Presi
dent Roosevelt to cash payment. of
the bonus, the 145 signatures neces
sary to get that proposition before
the house of representatives were ob
tained this afternoon, and a rote
March 12 is certain.
Speaker Ralney. after a special con
ference at the White House, sum
moned reporters to say very formally
that he was authorized to record
presidential opposition to cashing In
the bonus at the present time.
That was In early afternoon. Signa
tures on the Lunceen petition num
bered 130. Finally the list crept to
140. Representatives Ayres (D., Mont.)
was the last house member, to put his
name down to discharge the commit
tee holding the bill.
Ralney and the leaders, seasoned as
to the ways of legislators in facing
such campaigns as house members
look for this fall, have predicted ap
proval of the bonus bill.
The senate attitude, as usually is
the case, remains to be seen. But If
congress does get behind the bonus
now. a veto ts certain.
Under house rules, such a petition
as now effective may be considered
only on the second and fourth Mon
days of each month and must have
been signed up seven days before con
sideration. Under those rules. March 12 Is the
first day the house can vote on
whether to issue $2,400,000,000 in
greenbacks for soldier holders of ad
Justed compensation certificates.
' Asked whether the 'Democratic lead
ers would seek to have the Democrats
remove their names from the peti
tion, Speaker Rnlney said:
"Not at all. They can do as they
damn please."
The Democratic leaders have been
concerned over the bonus drive among
the membership. They felt it was
necessary to obtain the president's
views.
