WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. Too many
negatives eventually make you posi
tive. For Instance, there la the pres
ent predicament
of the abused
Mr. Ickes, secre
tary of interior.
You can ascer
tain rather def
initely that Mr.
tckes did not
have his under
cover man, Mr.
Dlavls, tap the
telephone wire of
a. fellow cabinet
ter General Par
ley. Nor did Mrs.
PAUL MALI.ON
1- . '
Roosevelt become aroused at any ,
I snooping by the same Ickes agent
around the Reedville homesteading
project.
The first lady did not Inspire the
presidential secretary, Louis Howe, to
tell Mr. Ickes that he would have to
(ret rid of hi right-hand man, Mr.
Burlew, as well as Mr. Glavia. Nor
does the president himself know any
thing about that.
These denials have been widely cir
culated, except, perhaps the one about
tapping Mr. Farley' wire. What hap
pened was that Mr. Ickes dented at
a press conference recently that there
bad been any wire-tapping. The name
of Postmaster General Farley was
not mentioned. There really was no
need to mention It. The erroneous
tory was all over town.
If two negatives make an affirma
tive, as most grammarians Insist,
these numerous denials, with which
Mr. Ickea now is virtually surrounded,
certainly indicate that he and, Mr.
Glavia have been very busy in. very
high places.
. That deduction la partially sug-
gcated also by what Is behind the
wire-tapping rumor.
Postmaster General Farley haa been
heard to complain privately to some
of his associates that every time he
calls the interior department there
is a click on the wire. He had no sus
picion that his own office or hotel
home wire was tapped. Yet, certain
circumstantial evidence in addition
to the clicking Indicated, that a third
party keeps record of some calls com
ing into the interior department,
PWA, oil administration and all the
other little kingdoms which Mr. Ickea
rules. Murmuringa on the same sub
ject have been heard from Postmas
ter General Farley's lieutenants, who
aay they have had similar experiences.
It may be that they are overly sus
picious where Messrs. Jckes and
Glavia are concerned, but that la be
side the point.
Through all thla amolce you may
dlacern the spark ot undeniable truth
that all Washington has gTeat respect
for the modest little gay-pay-oo
established by Mr. Qlavls. He has only
about 150 regular employes, but bor
rowing from the Justice department
and other bureaus keep It generally
around 300. The erroneous report are
high tribute to the efficiency of his
organization. But that la not the big
gest spark.
In the old deal day, occasionally,
some senator complained that Ills of
fice7 had been ransacked at night.
Once, the artistic ferret. Gaston
Means, gleefully confessed that he
went through a few senatorial offices
occasionally for the Justice depart
ment. But no case above the grade
of an ordinary senatorial ransackln;
has ever been rumored before.
So the least you can say of over
worked Mr. Ickes Is that he has estab-
nZ, s
project of a member of the president's
familv and tapping the wire of a cab-
inet officer. The only thing left to
deny now Is that h Investigated the
past of President Roosevelt hlnvelf.
Mr. Roosevelt's new work relief pro
gram is heading up into heavy trou
ble. Inner stirrincs already are not
iceable among building contractors
and laborltes.
The contractors have an Idea that
Mr. Roosevelt's plan will put them
out of business because he wants the
work done by the government as
much as possible. They have ben
exerting pressure at the White House.
The labor boys are fuming about
the proposal to keep government
wacea down below private wages. They

Colonel to Fly Pacific
(Copyright, 1835. by the Associ

NEW YORK. Jan. 18. (AP)
Intimate associates of Cot. Charles
A. Lindbergh said today that after
the Hauptmann trial ends he Is
expected to fly across the Pacific
ocean preliminary to the estab
lishment of an American Air
Transport service between Califor
nia and China.
The colonel heads the technical
committee of Pan-American Air
ways system and in that post
probably would pilot one of the
big flying boats over the 9000-mile
projected route preliminary to the
actual establishment of a service
that would cut passenger and mall
time over the Pacific between the
United States and the Orient to
60 hours' flying instead of the
four weeks required by 'steamship.

A circuit court Jury lata yesterday

In Mayer's wild trapping domain. The
Jury recommended leniency, so tne
dh penalty will not be imposed
when Mayer Is sentenced tomorrow.
Mayer readily admitted he shot and

was attempting to drive him from
