Twenty-ninth Year
By PAUL MALLOX.
(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, D. 0.. April 31.
The ' spring breezea are whispering
that Frank Walker la going to leave
around juiy i.
Walker has
been President
Roosevelt's In
tide trouble
shooter. When
ever there was
partlc u 1 a r 1 y
ticklish Job of
rein pulling, co
ordlnatlng or
pacifying to be
done, the presi
dent has called
on his good
Paul Mallon
The latest Job assigned to Walker
was co-ordination of about 115 new
federal agencies, organization of a
general bureau of New Deal Informa
tion and getting the new home fi
nancing campaign started.
Walker's friends say he will nave
that Job In shape In about ten
weeks and then will go back to his
private business.
Walker came down here originally
for six weeks. Those six weeks have
stretched out Into a year. The only
way he has been able to handle his
business affairs lately Is to commute
to New York over week ends.
Walker has been one of the main
manipulators of the new deal, al
though always In the background.
He Is the kind of man every suc
cessful president needs at his side,
good friend who staya out of the
limelight and Is ready to sacrifice
himself for the boss. ,
He was the center of a censorship
uproar when he set up the central
statistical agency. The uproar died
because the board appears to have
been fair In Its figures. More lately
some of the political critics have
taken a few mild shot at him for
failure to harmonize the varying new
federal asencles. Those shots, appar-
entlv were aimed over ... Walker's
shoulder at the fact that anyone
who can get harmony out of ttoat
115-piece band Is not a bandmaster,
but a Houdlnl.
His standing Is ahown by the gen
eral circulation given untruthful
a'.orles that he might take Louis
Howe's place Inside the White
House. There Is nothing in It, .of
course, except a rather embarrassing
tribute to Walker.
Howe is active around the White
House and wants to be more so. In
disrespect of his health.
His doctors have found a- way of
keeping him down. They refuse' to
give him his trousers every day until
after lunch. They were forced to that
extreme when he promised to remain
at the office only three hours on
several occasions and then remained
six.'
He la a good bit of a philosopher
and a humorist, and he has fooled
the doctors again by transacting
half of his day's work from his bed
room in a lounging robe. Said he to
a recent caller:
"I consider it an outrage for doc
tors to make such a handsome man
as I receive visitors before I get my
make-up on."
Miss Perkins has managed to keep
It more or less a secret that she has
been, working for several weeks on
a survey of the possibilities of gen
eral federal price-fixing.
She is the most active member ot
an Inner cabinet committee appoint
ed to recommend a policy on that
Issue.
She Is justified In proceeding un
der cover, not only because It la a
touchy subject, but because nothing
probably will ever come of tt.The
difficulties of federal price-fixing are
amply Illustrated by what has hap
pened In milk during the past six
months.
The differences In production
methods, costs and capitalization in
every section, and in every firm.
make the task so tremendous as to
be Impossible.
Something will corns, however,
from another secret survey being
conducted by the administration Into
obsolescence In the capital goods
markets.
Who Is making the Investigation la
not definitely known, but It may be
Walker s outfit.
The Idea Is to learn all possible
replacements which could be made
for capital goods and then to have
the government do something about
stimuli ing replacements by encour
aging easy financing of them.
It la the thing most needed now.
The capital goods market la lagging
woefully, while consumers goods have
bern recovering.

By request of the ' defense counsel
Sidney R. Payne,- fingerprint expert
of the Portland police bureau, left to
night for Klamath Falls to testify
In the trial of Horace M. Manning,
who Is charged with first degree mur
der of Ralph Horan.
Defense attorneys ssked Payne to
attend a defense counsel conference
tomorrow. It was Intimated the Port

Tuesday.
KLAMATH PALLS. April 31. (AP)
The prosecution master detective
and criminologist, Dr. O. E. Heln
rlch of Berkeley, led a Jury of men
on an exploration trip today design
ed to attack any defense theory Hor
ace M. Manning engaged In a gun
duel with Ralph W. Horan before the
young legislator was found ahot to
death on Lincoln's birthday.
.The . professorial appearing Heln
rlcb, testifying slowly and methodi
cally described the bullet holes dis
covered In Koran's clothes and the
scar on the chair where ,he sat across
a desk from . the veteran attorney
who Is now on trial for his life.
Helnrlch. star witness for the state,
said the condition of the coat and
chair Indicated' thoroughly that the
young legislator's clothing was drawn
tight across the piece of furniture
when a bullet passed through his
heart and came out below the left
shoulder blade. '
This second day of expert testi
mony undoubtedly will be linked by
the state to show that the slain man
was In his chair at the time of his
death. The prosecution expects to
prove by Helnrieh'a remarks It would
have been Impossible for 'Horan tq
.have been on his feet scrambling for
a gun." r..--
The trial proceeded alowly today
with the crl nomologists' minute find
ings. Because the state will not be
able to complete Its case today, the
court adjourned at noon.
Dr. Helnrlch told the Jury this
morning that had Horan'a coat been
hanging free the broken fibres about
the bullet hole would have been rag.
ged. But alnoe they were' punched
cleanly, he declared the coat must
have been pressed firmly against a
hard surface. ;, .
The bullet scar on the chair re
vealed bits of cloth and the surface
around the hole In the coat showed
pieces of wood. - ,
All this evidence was presented with
the aid of enlarged, microscopic pho
tographs. George Roberts of Medford, chief
defense counsel, objected repeatedly
to the doctor's testimony.
Roberts' contention was that It was
within the province of the Jury rather
than the expert to make conclusions
on evidence offered by the state.
Manning's defense will take up it
case probably Monday afternoon or
Tuesday morning. IU attack remains
unknown but there were an abun
dance of courtroom prediction it
would be a dramatic one. Manning
will take the stand In his own behalf.
The state evidence now attempts
to show that:
Horan was slstn a he was seated.
thus dispelling the possibilities of a
duel.
Manning left his office between the
first volley of ahota and the second.
The defendsnt was Intoxicated.
The slain man bad two cards In his
hand at the time of his death and
not a gun.
Horan was right handed despite the
fact a gun was found in his left hand.
The first bullet to enter the leg.i
lator's body killed him instantly.

NEW DEAL' AIM AS
IE
Yields To None In Own
Americanism, And Denies
Administration Leans To
Dictatorship In Speech To
Editors.
WASHINGTON, April 31. (AP)
The "New Deal" tonight was called
a return to true Democracy by Rex
ford Q. Tug well, assistant secretary.
of ngrlculture.
In Rn aMreK before the American'
society of Newspaper Editors, Tug-
well, whose namo figured proml-'
nently In the recent Wirt revolution
investigation, defined himself as a
convinced bellover In the Democratic
prosesa" In replying to his critics.
The assertion that the Roosevelt
administration was headed tow fir 5 a
dictatorship was answered with this
statement:
"The sovereignty of Vie American
people Is the real source of this ad
ministration 'a power; there Is not a
man among you who does not recog
nize this, though there are some who
appear to resent it.
"I for one do not wish to supplant-
this sovereignty with another kind
whose theory is that for some groups
and Interests there should be Immun
ity from political control. That way
lies economic oligarchy.
"It Involves the creation of auto-'
cratlo institutions which are alien
to the American spirit. We were
drifting toward them In the post
war years. Our present return to
democracy constitutes, as I believe,
their final repudiation In this na
tion." ' :
Tugwell characterized the efforts
to control farm production by the
agricultural adjustment administra
tion as "a democratic process revised
economic system," adding that it was
not a method "for which any doc
trinal name Is aonronrlato."
Tugwoll said a restatement of "the
fundamentals of that Americanism
to which we are born and which we
all desire to cherish" was approprl-
have lately been questioned by those
who consider themselves and the
country to have been injured by the
president's program," but because It
had been made to appear that what
the administration was doing was
"somehow alien to our traditions
and Institutions."
The "core" of the American tradi
tion he defined aa "a kind of defi
ance to fate" under which coercion
will not work. Also "we have a pre
cious Inventiveness which gets us out
of holes" and a "saving Irreverence
of authority."

SANTA MONICA, Cal., Apr.
20. In, ppposito columns ap
ppnr these two different items:
"LeviliKton, Muss. Citizens
march to Washington ns in rev
olutionary clays, to protest the
government having anything
to do with business."
" Washington, D. C. Secre
tary Perkins reports 2,730,000
employed in past year. Em
ployment in March was 80 per
cent, of 1!)23-'J5 average. Week
ly payrolls inercased $70,000,
000 in 12 months, since lust
March."
So it looks liko the boys from
Lexington will find quite a few

Washington that will he too
busy to join 'em. 1 imagine it
would be awful hard to ruin a
country by paying wages.
