(Continueo worn page One.) for conspiracy against the United States government.) A great hue and cry has been raised against Governor Wlnshlp by one ele ment of natives. Another group blames Washington. One talks about the repression of civil liberties (a charge reiterated by Arthur Garfield Hays, who headed an Investigation commission of the civil liberties un ion). Another begs for a stronger hand. I flying trapeze and the back-to-the - wall determination, of the death bat talion. The field marshal Is Senator Wheel er of Montana. The reserves are head ed by Senator Burke of Nebraska The silent man of strategy la Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri, They have their act rehearsed to a hair, and they say It's going to win. You can't miss Senator Wheeler, He's on his feet whenever there's a chance. You may miss Burke, but he la there. Being there. In fact, la his Job. He hasn't been off the floor a minute sines the fight started. When the session runs through lunch, he goes without any, Clark may net be In sight of the galleries, either. But wherever he he Is within Instant call of Burke or Wheeler. He's the parliamentarian, naturally, He was parliamentarian of the house of representatives when his father was speaker, Incidentally, when President Pro Tempore Key Ptttman sprang hia "surprise" In the court fight, which was announced as death to any hopes Governor Wlnshlp. who Is also general. Is called too militaristic by ; for flHbU8tw by the bnra opponents. It wasn't any surprise to Clark. An ancient rule had been dug up pro- political elements other than the na tlonallsts. The businessmen, and their colleagues In the United State who deal with them, less Interested In politics than profits, would like a stronger hand. They would not only swallow a general, but would be glad of a whole army. They sigh, audibly, for the good old days before 1934. when the war department was In charge. Of course, sending the army down there to run things would hardly be pleasing to our othor good neighbors. As a gesture of amenity, it would ri val taking a pole-cat to a cocktail party. Dollars and democracy 1 Just aiiother hot weather problem for your old Uncle In Washington. The blEge.-t ?how in Washington lc still runninct to standing room only the court fight in the senate. It's exciting, the senate chamber's air-cooled, and It Xsn't a bad place to spend your vacation. But the real show Is going on be hind the scenes. It combines a display of the per fect rrwirdinstlnn of tnm on the htbltlng any senator from talking more than twice on the subject In the same legislative day. The Mis- sourlan and his colleagues knew It was coming. They have. It is said, the antidote ready to apply when needed All of this, however, doesn't scare the administration a bit. The president, as Indicated earlier in this column, believes that a fill buster will turn the country against the opposing senators. If they Insist on staging a marathon debate, he will simply betake himself to his yacht or his homestead and let them talk themselves to death. The way senator Clark plans to get around the new appropriation of the old rule to stop the filibuster by al lowing each senator to talk but twice on any subject Is simple, but effec tlve. New amendments to the bill will be Introduced by the opposition sen' a tors as desired. An amendment la new subject and so the talk can go on forever as long as amendments hold out. GET PERFECT HEAT.mEVERYROOM Meteorological Report Autobiographies nowadays are writ- en when the authors are still young and virile and not, as used to be the case, when they are old and se nile. Perhaps that Is why they have Igor and a keen perception not yet dulled by decadence, a frankness that Is refreshing and a realistic viewpoint not yet softened by the mellowing Influence of old age. Whatever their shortcomings, the autobiographies that have been pour ing from youthful pens are dynamic. Such a book ts Present Indicative which tells the story, of Noel Cow ard's life even though the author hasn't lived long yet. Coward is not yet 40 but even as years go he had attained International fame as play wright, author, composer and libret tist. Present Indicative, which Is prov ing exceedingly popular In Medford public library. Is a candid biography. It tells of Cowards rise from pov erty, or his brief exposure to formal schooling, of his early Jobs as a boy actor. It Rives frank analyses of the numerous celebrities who pass through its pages. Sprightly Written Like some of Coward's plays. Pres ent Indicative ts at times shallow but never Is It dull. It Is a sprightly written bok, always freBh and vivid. Another library book that has been considerably in demand Is Be Glad You re Nenrotic, by " Dr. Louis E. Blsch. It la a volume that should be especially consoling for persons who do not fit into a mold, who are not average." Oenlua comes from the neurotics. Dr. Blsch says. "Normal persons." he declares, "are Invariably without imagination. In the extreme they are stupid . They are frequently wiaeiy esteemea, grow rich but never creative." The book Is an Interesting research Into human behavior. Uncluttered wixn scientific vermage, it is a very readable volume. Mining Rush Recalled A library volume possessed of a quaint charm Is Suns Go Down, by Flannery Lewis. The book centers about the life of the author's grand mother who, though a New Englander or rigid upbringing, married lmput slvely and set out with her husband for the Comstock Lode when the mining boom attracted hordes to the Nevada fields. The grandmother Im mediately attained a certain disttnc tlon by being the only woman In the mining town who was not a prosti tute. , Although she never liked the mush room city with Its bawdy life, she refused to leave when the mining boom collapsed and has continued to lead a solitary life in the srhost town.

Her shrewd observations are recorded by the author, who manages to depict quite vividly the life on the Com stock Lode when life was raw and ragged. The style Is quiet and dig nified yet, paradoxically enough, strong and forceful. In the fiction field, Conrad Rich' ter's The Sea of Grass Is much In de mand at the library. Essentially a tender love story. It depicts the southwest of pioneer days and re calls a life now known only to fading memories.
