WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 13.
Tin white shlrta have changed tics.
Those black crepes they wore so long
In mourning for
new deal defl
clencles have
lately been dis
carded. The best
drefcsed Industri
alist, you may
have noticed, Is
-now setting a
more cheerful
tyle.
It started about
three weeks be
fore" election.
At that time
the bellwether
boys sent word down the Hue advis
ing a leas critical attitude toward
the new deal. The leadership la sup
posed to have been undertaken by
the Intelligently directed Natlonttl
Association of Manufacturers. At
least the handouts from that Influ
ential group lately have assumed a
new co-operative tone.
Everyone knows the bankers fell In
line, but few noticed that the busi
ness, news dispensers have also. A
month ago the latter group was tell
ing the business world President
Roosevelt was a destroyer of the con
stitution. Today he Is Its sole de
fender. In their opinion.
Prom a strictly business standpoint
everyone here considers that the
change of style Is the best thing that
could have happened for business.
The contributing reason for the
change is more important and less
obvious than the election. It had
Its deep roots In the glowing feellns
that money could be made In busi
ness today If more men would go
outand try to do It Instead of sitting
down and yelling for help. They
began to realize that they could'make
V , more money by accepting conditions
and trying to run their business
profitably In the light of exlstlne
conditions Instead of devoting them
selves to fighting against something
they could not change anyway.
The boys In Wall street caught
onto that first. They fought against
regulation, but when they were licked
they started trying to make money
under regulation by co-operation
rather than by gloomy resistance.
That does not mean that Industrial
ists, the financiers and the bankers
are for the new deal, or that they
will stand It any longer than they
have to.
The December radio talk by Mr.
Roosevelt will contain those new ideas
he has been secretly cooking up in
his conferences with business men
and budgetary officials. He has about
cleaned up the business conferences.
Lately he got down to some small fry
whose namca did not appear In the
papers, and need not have. The hint
has been dropped that he will break
the budget and relief plans in the ra
dio speech. -Tills will be more en
couraging news than business has
been expecting on that subject.
Probably Included will be plans for
elf-help baed on farm homestead
lng. a conservative five-year bulldlnt:
program, work relief, a promised end
of the dole, and posslblo a flotation
of recovery bonds In mall denomina
tions. The other plans for aiding tne
heavy Industries, railroad reorganiza
tion, NRA, AAA, etc., may await his
message to congress, which has been
In the process of formulation for sev
eral weeks.
The new dealers are already day
dreaming about 1936. The way they
figure It out, Mr. Roosevelt cannot
lose. Their Idea Is to get to work early
or. Malno. They want to run their
popular Deinocartlc governor Brai.n
gainst Republican Senator White. If
Braun defeats White. Ihey would steal
th old Inaccurate tteptibllcan slo
gan. "As Maine goes, so goes the ua
1 tlon."
Another good talking point they
are preparing ll the one that the
senate Is lertaln to be Democratic
after 103G. Not enough senators are
up for re e'.ectlon lu '3S to deprive
the Democrat e'. control. They on
W.I ll-.i country that the election of
a Republican president would only

Tlaions. The real one Is based on the

000,000 Left in Vaults
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 3 . ( AP )
The Home Owners' Loan corporation
announced today consideration of ad
ditional applications for loans will
be suspended until further notice
because of the fear that funds might
be exhausted.
The corporation has more than
400.000 applications pending. In the
light of lte experience In refinancing
mortgages on 650,000 homes which
required approximately 2.000.000.000.
the corporation board decided today
to cease accepting applications until
It sees how far the remaining $1,200,
000.000 of capital will go.
"In view of the fact that applica
tions from loans now In band are
far in excess of the present resources
of the corporation," said a board
statement, "and the continued hand
ling of new applications is Interfer
ing seriously with the prompt dis
position of those entitled to prior
consideration, the receipt of addi
tional applications will be suspended
until further notice."
The remaining $1,200,000,000 at
the disposal of the corporation Is ex
pected to care for some 400.000 ap
plications now pending. A large part
of them are well advanced in the pro
cess of examination and approval and
probably will be completed and the
loans closed by February or March
next.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. ( AP) The
Roosevelt administration Is seeking to
mass the resources of government
behind a power offensive that may
lead to an historic fight before congress.
On the one side are those who de
mand cheaper electric power and more
drastic regulation; on the other are
those who warn against government
In business and declare that attacks
on power companies are a danger to
private Industry and Investors high
and low.
While the White House made public
a survey contending electricity users
in northeastern states could save
194.000.000 in their power bill, on
phase of the opposition to the ad
ministration hydro-electric program
cropped out In Cincinnati.
"Vision Asinine"
Calling the Tennessee Valley au
thority "the vision asinine." Appa
lachian Coals, Inc., began what It de
scribed as a nation-wide campaign of
opposition to the hydro program. The
organization, a marketing agency for
nearly 80 per cent of tho southern
bituminous mine field, said coal fur
nishes cheaper electric power than
water. It rit what It termed "TVA's
excursion into the power business."
"That means the promotion of
government-subsidized Industries In
direct competition with existing pri
vate industries," It said.
Survey Published
A summary of a bulky report made
after a three-year survey In connec-
tton with the projected power devel
opment of the St. Lawrnce by the
New York state, power authority was
issued by the White House last night.
The survey was made at the order of
President Roosevelt when he was gov
ernor of the Empire State. The White
House said the findings would vitally
affect 7,000,000 customers for electricity."

rioter W. Babson. statistical expert,

"The republican." however, are

truth lies with a combination ol

"Hence, my answer to the question

SANTA MONICA, Cal., Nov. 13.
' We got our navy back last week.
It's been off on some kind of a world
! tour, making a kind of good will
' tour of various p'accs, X think they
'got as far away from home as New
York and Philadelphia.
They were mighty glad to got back.
I tell you. you can travel all you
want to In all these curious place,
but there Is nothing like steaming
Into the old home port.
We are mighty proud of our navy.
Home near-sighted folks kick on the
cost, but by golly it's worth the
price to see 30.0p0 men spotlessly
clean and a "kocky" walk that yon
don't find on any other animal but
a peacock.
There la only one whisker, and
that on popular Admiral Reeves. H
looks more like Robert K. Lee every
day, Ood bless him.
