WASHINGTON, April 10. The life
of a government worker is aupposed
to be one of east and poverty. Walt
Whitman liked It
because It fur
nished .the Ideal
serenity required
for poetic com
placency. That
was before the
new deal.
If whitman
were to come
back to It now,
he would find
the atmosphere
In several corners
more Inspiring
for two - gun
PAUL MALLON
thrillers than for poetry.
There was, for Instance, a bureau
chief In the public works adminis
tration who got tired of having the
inriiiirencB service of the bureau
anoontnr around his office. He col
lsxed the detective one day and aald
miletlv:
"If I see your face again I am go-
Inn to shoot you. Don l worry
won't kill you. I am merely going
to wound you. so that I will nave
an opportunity at my trial to ex
pose this situation."
The detective probably did not
trust the bureau cblef'e aim. He ab
sented himself thereafter. The chief
later was successful In transferring
himself to another government de
partment, where he does not need
his pistol.
Then there is the more recent In
side yarn about a small college pres
ident from the middle west. He la
considered one of the best econo
mists In has particular line. He Join
ed tho brain trust In 'an Inconspic
uous way a year ago. as head of a
section In the subsistence home
stead division, and served there until
a few days ago. Then, he found, a
letter on his desk Informing him that
he waa fired with discredit. No reason
was mentioned In the letter.
The serlous-mlnded professor has
been wandering around since then,
trying to figure It out. HIb friends
sy he has searched his recollection
and the only thing occurring to him
Is the ' fact that he once wrote a
letter to someone outside his depart
ment auggestlng he would like to
make a change to another govern
' ment department. He suspects the
detective must have seen the letter
and reported htm
Callera at hla office are being told
thst he Is "away for the day."
There used to be one official In
PWA who noted a tell-tale click of
his telephone nearly every time he
had a call. He suspected that the
Investigation division under Louis
Olavls was listening In, so, no mat
ter whom he was talking to. he al
ways Interrupted himself when the
line clicked, and asked. "Can you
hear me all right. Mr. Olavls?" He
has been transferred.
If you have wondered why It takes
the government so long to get atart-
ed on PWA and other projects, con
sider what happened to a Florida
dry dock company, seeking a gov
ernment loan. It la aa good an ex
ample of red tape as ever- was sup
pressed by a government press agent.
The dry dock company applied for
a loan and received the approval of
the leaal division of PWA. This dl
vision Is supposed to be one of the
best In the new deal. But the PWA
Intelligence division stepped In and
called the loan off. stating It had
dug up something described aa dirt
on somebody.
This aroused the legal division.
The matter waa carried to Secretary
Irkes. He ordered an official hearing
to he conducted by the legal dlvis
Ion. This resulted In the detectives
from the Intelligence division being
put under rross-examlnatton by the
legal division.
The record of this Inside rump
court was flnslly completed and sent
around to both bureaus for editing.
The lawyers later discovered that the
detectives changed their answers In
many vital respects, converting some
"vesses" Into "noes" and vice versa.
Whole psraeraph were stricken out
by the detectives, say the lawyers.
So now an Investigation of the
Investigation Is being conducted.
Meanwhile, the dry dock company
is trying to be patient.
The bureaucrats are not the only
ones who enjoy the hazards of ex
citing Inner conflicts under the new
deal. In fact, a rather high glasa
disturbance has developed lately be
tween two stieh genial and outstand
ing new dealers as the federal re
servist. Mr. Eccles. and the houaer.
Mr. Moffett.
It seems that Chairman Fletcher

TO DOUBLE YIELD
First Shipments Machinery
Delivered From East
Crew of Sixty to Be
Given Work This Week
First shipments of approximately
nine carloads of mining equipment
received from the east have been de
livered at Sterling mines, located
eight miles above Jacksonville
Sterling creek, as part of a 135.000
project under which operation of the
mines will be doubled within the next
six weeks, It was learned today from
officials.
The old Sterling mines property
haa been taken over by the Yara En
gineering corporation of Elizabeth
N. J., which will continue placer op.
eratlons, and start work In virgin
land. The Yara Engineering corpo
ration now owns 3000 acres at the
site. D. Fred McCormlck of New
York city, who has been In the vi
cinity for the past year straightening
out the title for the property. Is en
gineer In charge of all operations.
The equipment, some of which is
new and some of which haa been
transferred from other properties in
the east. Is expected to be delivered
In full within the next week or ten
days. It Is concentrating equipment
and when Installed will be & type of
gravel treatment plant new to Ore
gon. Under the new process 3000
yards will be worked dally, according
to engineers.
It waa pointed out that this pro
Ject la only the first step in a vast
mining enterprise which la expected
to bring mining activities to a new
peak in the Jacksonville district. The
first equipment Installed, or pilot-
plant, will be operated for a time to
determine the profit, then If the re
sults are satisfactory the project will
be completed.
s Thirty men are employed at the
mines at present, and the crew will
be doubled this week, engineers stat
ed. The old placer property, which
was abandoned by the former owners
when the water supply reached the
gravel level and cut off the head for
hydraulic operations, will be treated
aa well a the virgin ground above
the old location. The new centrifu
gal process la e pec ted to overcome dlf
flcultulea encountered by the former
operators, who worked the mines for
about 36 years.
AT PEAK BY FALL
WASHINGTON, April 10. (AP)
Plans for using existing government
agencies to speed the $4,000,000,000
work-relief program to an operating
peak by mid-November were dlsclos
ed today by President Roosevelt.
Burned by a southern vacation
sun. he Jovially greeted his first preas
conference since his fishing trip and
then answered questions about the
big employment drive which Under
secretary Tug well haa termed a "third
economy."
He said there may be some boards
or committees to link the various
agenclea which handle the relief fund
but emphasized there still were no
strict rules of procedure.
Vhaved on Vacnt Inn
As the large group of newsmen
filed Into his office, Mr. Roosevelt
greeted them as his teachers and
reported that the class himself had
behaved very well on vacation. There
began a rapid discussion of varied
Issues.
In reply to questions, he said If
the cotton processing tax were
moved aa demanded by a large
group of textile Interests some other
means must be found for providing
benefit-payment funds. Though
provision In the 14.000.000,000 work
relief law would permit use of Its
funds for benefit payments, the pres
Ident said that money could go only
for relief.

Holding that NRA, was funda

The issue now facing the country.
Filene said, la "shall we keep on

economic facts, or shall we go back
to the practices whlcTi landed us in

Earlier, spokesmen for retail gro-1

extend NRA.
With his voice a little shaky.
Filene testified the economic theories
under which he succeeded In busi

"There was a time," he aald, "when
business could get more If the masses
got less. There waa & time when em

"Says:
BEVKRLT HILLS, Cal., Apr.
9. A girl aviator is teaching
the BtronRer sex to fly. He
froze controls and waa about to
crash. She picks up a fire ex
tinguisher and used it in a way
that would do the most good
just casually bent it over his
head, causing temporary un
consciousness. As my good old
native son of Florida, Arthur
Brisbane, would say, "There is
a lesson in that.',' Man is not
as mighty as he thinks he is.
The gorilla is mightier and a
woman with a fire extinguisher
is not only mightier than the
man, but we all know a lot of
'em, even without an extin
guisher, tlmt can worry a goril
la till he says, "Mnybe I am
wrong."
