WASHINGTON. March 19. It looks
as if President Roosevelt has stopped
playing cat and, mouse with congress
but appearances are deceiving.
The benign" expression on the cat'
face indicates he has other things In
mind than letting the mice run wild.
True, he has permitted them to
frolic and make faces at him without
raising a paw seriously against them.
He has let them even tweak his nose
on the St. Lawrence treaty, bonus,
vets and pay cuts. Soon he will go
off quietly to sun himself down
south.
But the mice are cot going to run
away with the capitol, so be not dis
turbed. It's a game.
Purpose
The mice are up for re-election this
year and the cat Is not.
If they were kept under strict sub
jection they would become spiritless.
The illusion of a dictatorship would
be too real.
It is much better to let them run
and play politically, as long as they
do not get serious. Thus far they
have not. Their bonus is foredoomed.
The St. Lawrence treaty which they
ruined will be revised and resubmit
ted, probably In better form. Their
silver grimacing cannot have any im
portant erfect on the administration's
silver policy. They will be held with
in reasonable limits on the vets and
wage cuts,
But-the big point is that each one
wi m1VMS wmii i
them back home.
The president can afford to sacrl- !
fice some temporary prestige Ho has
lota of It.
Silver
This unexpected consideration for
the mice Is so strange they are not
sure it Is real, or how long it will last.
Last Saturday, Speaker Ralney had
the scare of his life. He had givca
the papers a statement that Treasury
Secretary Morgenthau's opposition to
the silver proposals was Ill-conceived.
Furthermore, he promised to let the
house vote soon on the sliver bill op
posed by Mr. Morgenthau.
Shortly after the publication of the
speaker's promise, he was sitting with
some of his cronies when word came
that the White House wanted him on
the telephone. Looking worried, he
went to the telephone.
A few minutes later he came back
with a mousey grin spread all over
his face, and whispered:
"He didn't say a word about silver."
Politics
Mr. Morgenthau has been more
worried about the silver business than
anyone else.
' He Is too honest to be much of a
politician, and that metal has strong
political backing. The speculators,
who cleaned up on gold, have been
expecting a similar cleanup for them
selves on silver. Inner Wall Street
circles say that so much of the metal
Is being held in New York that stor
age places for it are at a premium.
Mr. Morgenthau's blunt assertion
that some of the silver agitators are
Mnot entirely disinterested" and that
silver action is not necessary now
brought a political hornets' nest tum
bling down on his bald brow. So
much pressure was exerted that he
called in newsmen and explained he
had not meant to say the house silver
bloc members had Invested In silver
stocks.
The root of the matter Is that the
administration has been fooled once
or twice by silver politicians and is
giving warning that It will not be j
.fooled again.
Ambition '
Mr. Morgenthau Is going to make a
name for himself tn the treasury job.
The politiicans thought when he was
appointed he would merely be an
errand bov for the White House.
As it is, he has taken his job seri
ously and shaken the department
from top to bottom, weeding out old
Influences which ran the department
for both parties, no matter who was
president.
In doing so he has stepped on a lot
of toes, both liberal and conservative,
securities Aft
Liberals spread the word around
that Mr. Morgenthau held up the
proposed revision of the securities act.
He probably did. But
word comes
from senate administration sources
now thst the trouble has been ironed
'out.
An amendment to the securities act
will be panned, changing the culpabil
ity clause in a way to help promote
private capital Invc5tmcnts.
t will be offered in the senate as a
rider to one of the central bills.

PARIS. March 20. (AP) Magis
trate Andre Benon declared today
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gordon Swtta
of East Orange, N. J., had disclosed
that an international spy gang ope
rated in New York and sent them
as agents to Prance.
Benon said that Switz, a former
salesman, had uncovered the gang's
operation and the part he and his
wife played tn Its work.
He said they came here on a pay
of 5000 francs about 335 a month.
Confession Aids Pnlr.
The examining magistrate who has
quizzed the American couple since
their arrest last December Indicated
the Americans would benefit from
their revelation, by referring to article
10 of the new French espionage law,
which lightens the punishment In
cases where "voluntary" information
is given.
The judge said 10 Inspectors had
been working on the case since June.
He said their Inquiry has already,
or will tn the future, reach the en
tire world and touch virtually all
countries.
; Benon said he Is now waiting for
docun(mte supposed to arrive from
Finland which he believe will reveal
that the organization for which the
Switzes are alleged to have been
working, apparently was founded in
1020.
The examining magistrate said
Swltz told him the names of all the
members he knew in the organiza
tion, and the duties of each.
Benon, who has conducted the in
vestigation throughout, said the big
break in his probe came through seven
arrests today following the Switz dis
closures. By Stuart Moroney

In&uU plans to return to the Vaited

case dies down and live is America

told the Associated Press today.
The lawyer, Mr, Xcros, declared he
waa in communication both with
Insult's ship on the Mediterranean
and his London solicitors who are
handling the former Chicgoan,a af

mained more of a mystery than over
to the public, the attorney said Mrs.
Insull and her husband's lawyers
were maintaining close touch -with
Insult by special code.
Fugitive Happy
"Insull seems happy now in calm
weather," the lawyer said.
"Wherever he Is going now, he will
make his permanent home If tee
United States continues to persecute
him,
"Mrs. Insull will go to Paris Satur
day and thereafter will leave for Lon

Insull may visit as many as 30

now but are afraid for their live and
afraid he will not get justice.
Fears Lynching
"Insull ts afraid he may be made a
fool of, or even lynched by crowds.
"I believe the question is a politi
cal one and that later Insull win be
received gloriously in the United
States."
The lawyer compared the case to a
"Balkan political quarrel."
Although there were reports that
the 74-year-old runaway from Amer

westward early today, there were
strong indications he waa still head

HOOVER CABINET
ACCUSED OF AID
AIR Ml FRAUD
Democratic Leader Robin
son Makes Blunt Charge
in Senate Melton Linked
in Shouted. Accusation
WASHINGTON,. March 2S, AP
A blunt charge that members of the
Hoover cabinet gave their service to
an unlawful and fraudulent air mail
combination was made In the sen
ate today by Senator Robinson, Dem
ocratic leader.
Robinson took, the floor to offer
evidence to support a previous asser
tion that the Pittsburgh Aviation
Industries, Inc., was a "strong polit
ical factor In Pennsylvania" and that
the "Mellona were prominent in Its
affairs."
"The record shows," he shouted,
"that masterful forces were organized
in Pittsburgh and members of the
cabinet gave their services to a com
bination that was unlawful, to a col
lusion that waa fraudulent."
Claims "near Mode
The Democratic leader contended
the evidence he presented showed "a
deal hsd been worked out with Post
master General Brown whereby the
territory was to be "parcelled out."
"I might have said the company
had a strong political Influence InJ
Washington as well as HBrristrarg,
he added.
Senator Feas (R., Ohio), said Rob
inson had presented "the best de
fense thst the postoffice department
can send up here" of its cancellation
of the airmail contracts.
- Robinson replied that "the post of
fice department has not communi
cated with me."
Mellon Mlttor Holders
Turning to Robinson's statements
regarding the Mellona, Fes said of
26,000 shares Issued by the Pitts
burgh company, 2,400 were owned by
the Mel Ions.
"If is such a group of men such
as were here represented a Mellon
owning five per cent of the stock
would be regarded as a controlling
influence, then I don't know what
a controlling Influence is," Feas added
"When the Mellon family desire to
control anything," he said, "lt does
cot atop at five per cent.
"It Is pitiable," he said, "to what
lengths some public men will go to
denounce those who disagree with
them on matter of publls policy."
