Th south ern branch of the democratic family In- congress Is again showing signs of what the divorce lawyers politely call lncompatablllty. The speech made In the sen ate -the other day by Senator George of Geor gia was only a symptom of an Incipient dissi pation which may go beyond the bounds of the flurry last year led by Sen ator Byrd. The deep sig PAUL MALLON nificance of the George speech was apparent to all those who heard It. A dozen democratic senators (Includ ing Byrd) were grouped closely about him, silently Indicating approval of every word while he suggested that a member of his own party govern ment (Agriculture Secretary Wallace) was unlit to hold office. No adminis tration spokesmen arose to defend Wallace or to contest the suggestion. The unacceptable low price of cot ton and the shrinkage of the export market are the two roots of the trou ble. No one expects Wallace to be forced out of the cabinet or any thing like that. But unless he straightens out the cotton situation, he Is going to have a rough time from now on. Thc holding companies are getting alone unexpectedly well In their In side and outside resistance against the holding company bill. They nave WW succeeded in- delaying the measure somewhat In the house and will do the samo in the' senate. Their hopes 'of forcing the bill up against Uie end of the congressional session, and thus ' "cornering It. are high, at least that Ss the basis of their present sirniegj . It probably will not succeed. Presi dent Roosevelt will renew pressure Mor the bill as soon as he returns. ..' Incidentally, their wrath against , Mr. Roosevelt is Increasingly bitter. There Is open talk here that they i win hum their last kilowatt to "''that vengeance Is wrought at the 1 1 polls next year. They may not be v responsible, as a group, for such talk, but It exists and Is accredited In the choicest of political circles. "Vrhc head of a large company thought that the stock of his company was " going up a few yeara ago. his oroscr ace house In New York thought so v'too. and started buying. It accumu lated quite a bundle of It at around 70. V The purpose was to sell when It went up to about 92. Out, as usual vit went the other way. ; The Bmart Inside buying continued for a while as the stock went down. i but. after It got to 20. tne ouyers oe rcan to wonder. After all, there Is l J limit to confidence, even Inside con-L- ftdence. The brokerage house called on the head of the company to take over the stork and absorb tne rap The eomDany did. An RFC examiner ran across the sit uation not long ago during the course of an Investigation of the company s finance. A dispute then developed as to who was responsible for such wise Inside buying which cost tne com nnv treasury so much money. The head of the company asserted hat the board of directors had au thorized absorption of the loss by the company. But the examiner de clared he polled the board and found only one member who knew anything about the transaction. l This story is what Is behind the Wheeler resolution calling lor an In vestigation or railroad financing. At least It Is the story as pieced togeth er privately by those planning the Inquiry. It may be proved or disprov ed In some particulars when the In quiry starts snd the time comes for mentioning names. For the present, tne recital oi it on the InJlde has furnished myster-1 lous impetus, which Is causing the senate to move toward a lormai in- vestuatlon. You will hear the story again, pos sibly within a few weeks, with nam's and correct figures (thoBe used above have been disguised for obvious isa sons). It has been ...ore or less an open secret that Mr. Bernard Baruch was slated for an uneasy time before the nenate munitions investigators.

Well, you would naturally ask an Irishman about the grund na tional race at Aintree, for all the good horses in it are Irish. Well, this little lord mayor gave them the following win ners, It e y n o 1 d s t o w n, Blue Prince, Thomond the Second. By golly, if he didn't pick 'cm one, two, three.
