iMBr1 HOMELESS AFTER
jgfji WINDS ONSLAUGHT
It? V
Paul MalloD
By PAUL M ALLOW.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 16. The
biggest back-stage Joke among new
dealers la the office of co-ordtnator.
The boya titter
at the mere men
tion of that va
cant Job. That la,
all do except Mr.
Roosevelt and the
two ex-co.ordlna-tora
who grace
fully backed
themselves out
of the Impossi
ble task.
The story la
current among
new deal hoi
jpollol that the
president la about ready to resort to a
little kidnaping to get someone to
take the post. He needs a man with
a dual personality, a mind that will
stretch.
You may recall that the first co
ordinator, Prank Walker, decided last
spring that his business needed him
very badly. Mr. Walker may cut off
his right arm If Mr. Roosevelt re
quests it. but it Is doubtful whether
Mr. Walker would consent to be co
ordinator again. Mr. Walker's auc
cewor was Donald Rich berg, who took
the Job Just to get away from Gen
eral Johnson, which may give you a
bint how badly he wanted to get
away. However, Mr. Rlchberg now is
back in the NRA.
The aum total of their co-ordination
thus far la the establishment of
a telephone switchboard Information
service. The extent of 'this service Is
to keep track of the various far-flung
Ingredients of the alphabet aoup, Just
in case one Ingredient might want to
set In touch with another one some-
time. 1
Everyone (since Dr. Johnson)
knows conplstrpcy Is the bugaboo of
small minds, but few people realize
what a stretch of Imagination will be
required of the new co-ordinator.
For Instance, Harry Hopkins Is buy
ing farms and stocking them while
Henry Wallace la curtailing the acre,
age and slaughtering tTie stock. Re
liefer Hopkins has taken in about
80,000 rural families by purchasing
farm lands for them, stocking the
premises and taking mortgages.
Then AAA Director Wallace may
come along and pay the farmer for
reducing the acreage and killing the
pfgs which Hopkins bought.
Just as difficult, and older, la the
problem of dovetailing the AAA and
KRA price policies.
The fundamental purpose of the
AAA Is not to boost farm prices, but
to restore a fair price parity between
the farmers' payments for manufac
tured goods and the price he receives
for farm products. But If the NRA
works the price of manufactured
coods goes up and puts the AAA goal
?:urthcr behind the end sone.
After figuring that out, the co
ordinator can then devote himseir to
making the monetary policy conform
both to the AAA and NRA policies.
Then he can harmonize the bank
In? policies which require liquidity of
banks for meeting the requirements
of examiners and for absorbing gov
ernment bonds, with the other policy
designed to make banker loosen up
and make commercial lonna.
As relaxation from such deep stuff,
the ro-ordlnator also would devote
himself In off moments to harmoniz
ing Mr. Farley with Mr. Tugwell, Mr.
Hull with Mr. Peek. Mr. Hurja with
Mr. Ickes, etc.
It la a good Job for anyone who
can do It.
Ten Known Dead Power
Wires Down Street Cars
Cease Running Prov
inces Also Feel Storm.
MANILA, Oct. 18. (AP) Sixteen
hours after the typhoon passed, Ma
nila was still largely marooned at
midnight tonight, with ten known
drowned.
The streets were In darkness. No
street cars had run during the day.
Police, city workers, 400 convicts and
utilities crews hacked at trees, poles
and other debris, but officials said It
would be days before conditions were
normal.
Police In some districts used boats
to check the damage and relief needs.
They expressed the opinion there had
been additional drownings.
Provinces lilt
Meagre dispatches estimated that
3000 famllfea were homeless In Bulu
can and Rlzal provinces, adjoining
Manila. Their bamboo and palm
thatched huts were blown down.
Police officials estimated from 2000
to 3000 houses were blown down or
unroofed In Manila, but these esti
mates clashed with smaller figures
given by Governor -General Frank
Murphy earlier.
With $500,000 ordered released for
reconstruction and direct relief, Mur
phy was confident there would be no
Buffering.
Twenty hours late, the round the
world boat President Johnson de
parted at 10 p. m. tonight. She nar
rowly escaped collision with the
Aelghter Gertrude Kellogg, which
was swept ashore nearby after ram
ming an adjoining pier.
The President Johnson's portslde.
paasengera were warned to be ready
to evacuate quickly, but the freight
er's stern missed the Johnson by a
few feet.
Ships Plied on Shore
In addition to four ships driven
ashore in Manila bay, the Inter-Island
steamer Mactan and smaller craft
were plied up on the shore of the
flooded Paslg river.
The weather bureau said failure of
telegraphic advices waa responsible
for the lack of warning.
James C. Rockwell, general man
ager of the Manila Electric company,
estimated the loss of hla concern at
100.000. '
"It seems a miracle that there are
not numerous deaths In view of the
falling roofs, trees and poles, said
Governor General Frank Murphy
after ft survey of the havoc-strewn
city. "Everything has been done that
can be done to prevent suffering."
He said estimates of damage In Ma
nila alone varied from S250.000 to
$2,500,000.
The reason Mr Morgenthau an.
nou need his new spring refinancing
Is that he had to. At least, all hla
advisers seemed to agree that If he
did not It would be a confession of
weakness and might hurt the govern
ment bond market.
1 Tou can get a sharp Inside slant on
all this war talk you have been hear
ing in past months by digging behind
the sudden change of front by Signor
Mussolini.
The world's champion saber rattler
Aid only ten day ago that If Jugo
slavia did not atop criticizing Italy
It might learn something about the
bravery of Italian soldiers. Shortly
thereafter King Alexander was assas
sinated. Now. with Italian diploma
tic officials being beaten unjustly by
Infuriated Jugoslavian mobs, Musso
lini has ordered the incident sup
pressed In the Italian presa. In fact,
he has publicly praised Jugoslavian
authorities for their effort to main,
tain order.
Mr. Mussolini, like many another
statesman, may bark wildly to fright
en his adversaries, but he knows how
to be wi.e and cool-hesded when
bitten.

Lindbergh Says Regular
Transoceanic Flights in
Not Far Distant Future
Flying Boats Held Best to Start Service
Views Are Given Before Presidents
Aviation Commission
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (AP) Th belief that regular traneoceanie
flights are "not far away" was expressed today to the president's avia
tion commission by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
Giving his views to the board .
which is forming a definite aviation
policy for the government, the first
man who made a solo trans-Atlantic
night said he thought flying boats
should be used at the start because
of economy, but 'primarily because
of safety."
Lindbergh explained that the fly
ing boats, In case of forced landing.
could descend without damage to j
the ships or to the personnel. He
added that would give a tremendous ;
psychological boost to the undertak- j
ing. i
Subsidies Needed j
Lindbergh told the commission he j
thought government subsidies to air j
lines would be necessary for a few j
years longer but that the major i
transport lines ougnt wumn a reas
onable time to be self-supporting.
Lindbergh told the commission mat
the "blacklist" of former air line
executive officers constituted one 01
the "most discouraging factors" in
aviation.
He was referring to the postoflice
department ruling that no officers
of the old airmail carriers might re
tain office under the reorganisation
which accompanied the contract let
ting after the first contracts were
cancelled.
