WASHINGTON, July 26 The pres
ldent bu turned his cheek but not
in tbe Biblical sense.
That's what some of his friends
are saying.
This apparent change of face is
what might be described as an op
tical Illusion, they explain such, for
Instance, as you get if you look first
at one side, and then the other,
of Daniel Chester French's statue of
Lincoln. If you have imagination,
you see on one side the detonclned
and relentless politician. On the
other, the genial, philosophical and
persuasive statesman.
If you had seen President Roose
velt on the day after the court de
leat, quiet, calm and cool as a Julep,
you would have had the feeling that
the splinters of the big stick had
been consigned to the woodshed,
thus serving to confirm the unpub
lished decision that the dress order
from now on is "chsrm."
The president at his first press
conference after the debacle did not
apeak for publication on the court
bill.
Members of the chsrm-school-ol'
thcAutht orlvatelv declare that he
was gaatng over the heads of his
sudl.noe, end that bis thoughts were
dlraoted toward "a high official or
the administration" described
"the country." That anonymous
commentator declared that the pres.
Ident believed "the country wanted
a guarantee" that there would be
"a continuance of the objective" set
forth in his original message on the
court bill
The administration has announced
no further campaign plana for., court
reform. The "high official" also n-
marked that the prestdent feels that
"the nation's future" la largely '"up
to oongress."
If this congress leaves supreme
oourt reorganization out of its plans
for "the natlon'a future." the pres.
Ident will tske up the tssk. He
will bring bis radio personality to

Under such conditions, you can
count on a fireside chat in the very
near future.

DEFIANT AUTOIST
HER BIRTH DATE
Florh&nnah Mae BeckneTI. sentenc
ed Saturday to serve thirty days In
the county Jail for failure to procure
an auto driver's license, continued
her defiant attitude today, according
to Sheriff Syd I. Brown. The prison
er refused to provide any Information
on her birth date, for Jail records, on
the ground "my past life is none of
the public's business." The sheriff
said "there la nothing I can do
about it. If the lady feels that way
about her birthday."
Outside of this stand, the sheriff
said the prisoner waa cheerful and
pleasant, and had launched house
cleaning efforts In the women's ward.
Mrs. BeckneU was sentenced Satur
day by Justice of the Peace William
R. Coleman, after she had refused to
enter a plea, or turn over her 1931
driver's license. The court entered
a plea of not guilty and after hearing
the state police evidence, found her
guilty and Imposed a 30 days term
with costs.
The defendant exhibited her 1031
drivers license as evidence, but de
clined to turn It over to the court,
when requested. The matron later
retrieved the document and turned
It over to the court. Recommenda
tions have been made, the court said,
that Mrs. Becknell's driver license be
suspended for one year.
Because Mrs. Becknell has failed
to supply the date of birth, In appli
cations to the secretary of state, no
driver's license hss been Issued her
for six years, tbe court stated.
Records show that Mrs. Becknell
has appeared In Ashland and Med
ford Justice courts, the past three
years, on a similar charge, A charge
of driving an auto without a tall
tight, was continued Saturday,

Mrs. Becknell did not clarify aa to
her exact age in her application for
renewal of her 1031 driver's license,
Secretary of State Earl Snell explain
ing that the law requires ahe give her
exact age before receiving the license
On July 17, 1935. she gave her birth
day aa September 10 and said she wss
44 years of age. This would ma ice her
46 years old now.
On her 1931 license her birthday
waa given as Msy 26, 1891. Snell said
she did not clesr up this discrepancy,
which amounts to four months.
Last December, Mrs. Becknell wrote
Snell and said "I really am at a loss
to understand what my blrthdate has
to do with my ability as a driver.'
On several occasions ahe sent In

request that ahe give her exact age.
