FqIT Associated Press Full United Ptcm reiunrogiiaci TED Mr JmUBA. : T)T"RTTTVT1? A i) mm By Paul Mannon Copyright. 1938, by' Paul Mallon. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 Some edi tors have been bringing bath towels $o work these days to keep from be ing drenched by sudden floods of vox pop mall. The entire coun t r y, apparently, has taken Its pen In hand to tell n e wspapers. magazines, and even the con gressional record what It thinks about politics. It may mean the country Is aroused, and then again It may mean something else. For Instance, senator Pope offered for printing In the Congressional Record the other day six letters to thow the opinion of the people of Idaho about WPA. Pope said the let ters demonstrated that WPA had been so outstanding that the leading citizens of his state could not resist writing about It. Each of the letters stated as much. The trouble was they all stated the same sentiment on the same dates In about the same language. Indeed, three of the letters were Identical, word for word. (Congressional Rec ord, Feb. 6, page 1605). . The timely unanimity of the peo ple of Idaho Is undoubtedly a psychic manifestation, but mere are practical ways of helping such things along. PAUL MALLON As all Insiders know, public letter writing Is an old lobbying trick. It r if so old that most lobbyists have dropped It, although there are attll tome here who assert they can de liver 80,000 vop pop letters to editors. congressmen or government officials on any subject within a week, for a sufficient sum. Organized use of letter writers in political campaigns, however, is i new wrinkle, and a imart one, work' ed out by highly efficient modern political publicity men. They know the pro bono publico letters are gen erally printed, and what is more, peo ple read them, even In the congres sional record. However, most publicity men now offer more diversity In the choice of language than Mr. Pope exhibited for the people of Idaho. More Important than Senator Nor. rls's excellent speech against the su preme court was what came after wardnamely, nothing. Although his address was ss good as could be presented for his side of the case. It brought no reaction eith er from his good friend, the president or from congress. This was not an oversight. The president was asked about It, but passed the question off lightly without direct comment. Congressional Judiciary Chairmen Sumners and Ashurst have declined to talk about their recent White House visit, but It is generally under stood on the Inside that they were told to handle the anti-court bills and consltutional amendments In a very, very routine way. Nearly all the president's advisers believe the constitutional talk is not doing him any good, and are trying to discourage It. If you will look under Senator Plttmsn's feet whenever he takes a stand on anything, you will generally discover a vein of pure silver. He 1 the sliver key to treasury policy. It was not evident In his apparent ly Illogical blast against the Japanese, but If you will assay that speech with the following dates, you may find traces of vsluable ore: 13-B-38 Treasury lowers bid on silver S cent. 12-10-3.1 Treasury lets silver mar ket break wide open trying to elimi nate Japanese smuggling of sliver. ' 12-15-3 Plttman blasts Japanese st Us Vegas. 3-10-38 Pittmsn's heart bleeds about Japan's conquest of China. Another unnoticed angle U that It Is customary for congressmen to start a Japanese war scare each year, Just before the war and navy department bills are considered. It helps to push the bills through. One shrewd news observer It ob ernrut that most of the Washington new, for the last three years has been mainly about what is going to nap pen and most of It never does. The new assistant treasury secre tary, Wsyne Taylor, will adequately fill the Washington social position mded br his predecessor. Chip Rob erts. Both are member, of what pleblana hereabouts Inaccurately call -the wh'.ui spa" brigade", largely centered In the state department. .Tier has been a revival of talk among Important people about a coalition republican ticket composed (CooUnued on Ps ntl SISKYOUS AIDE Plot to Hide Accused From Justice Charged Allege Tule Lake Farmer 'Delib erately Run Down.' TREKA, Calif., Feb. 15. (AP) District Attorney James Davis de clared today his intention of pressing murder charges against French John son and Maynard Smith, and accused Oregon politicians" of seeking to In terfere In the case.

Sheriff Chandler was In Klamath Falls today. At a preliminary hearing Into the case at Dorrls, m northeastern Slskt you county, French and Johnson shed very little light on the case, Davis explained.

It was not known here today whether the date would be affected by the fll lng next Monday of the murder com plaints. "I'll be damned If Oregon politic ians can affect Justice being done In Siskiyou county," Davis said, "and I'm going to push Vils case If it taken the whole resources of the state."

(A) Startled by a legal blow threatening to scramble Its $4,000,000,000 work re lief policy, the new deal laid its plans today to fight the Issue up to the su preme court If necessary.
