APPOINTMENT TO I.ONW"
AMBASSADORSHIP RlMllliHII
WASHINGTON, Nov, 20 The most
fluctuating private spectaela ever of
fered by the new deal was that of
the sercretory of the treasury of the
United States playing "musical
bumps" while the president applaud
ingly loolied on.
Musical bumps Is an odd and ex
ceedingly uncomfortable game, not
unlike "Going to Jerusalem" without
the chairs. The players march 'round
and 'round In a circle until someone
gives the word of command, when
they all sit down on the ground as
hard and as fast as they can. When
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Mor
genthau, Jr.. played rmisleal bumps
at Hyde Park, he made a first csss
showing. He Is also adept at the Vir
ginia reels, for which the president
llkea to call the figures.
Courloualy enough, these simple
pleaaure have a certain Importance
as matters of state, for It is partly on
thpm that the close friendship be
tween the president and his secretary
of the treasury ' Is founded, 'the
Roosevelt and Morgenthau families
sre old Hundson river neighbors and
have long been close. It was as the
president's friend that Henry Mor
centhau first came to Washington as
farm credit administrator, stayed on
as tinder-secretary of the treasury,
and finally emerged as secretary full
blown.
Soma people think Mr. Morgenthau
la not a strong sercretary of the treas
ury. He Is not, In the sense that he
ts no great financial expert, for all
bis early training was as a scientific
farmer. But nevertheless. If the bud
get of the federal government Is ever
bnlanced by the new deal (which. In
cidentally, looks ' more Improbable
every day), the chief credit or blame
will be Mr. Morgenthau's.
For a year or so now. he hes used
his combined position of close White
House friend and the highest finan
cial official of the government to urge
budget-balancing on the president.
Because of a certain seroouaness In
his demeanor, the president long ago
affectionately conferred on him the
nickname of "Henry the Morgue."
He might be better described as
Henry the wheedler. Since he start
ed bis budget balancing campaign, he
has never been discouraged. Presi
dential Inattention only caused him to
redouble hl prayerful efforts; presi
dential rebufffs never sent him Into
those fit of sulks to which less pliant
statesmen are liable.
Last spring It really looked as
though hi wheedling would bear
eventual fruit. Now. however, he
eems to have got himself a little
over-extended In his budget balanc
ing effort. Just at the time when he
has committed himself publicly to
prompt budget balancing, nlong

Message to Special Session
Asserts Long -Continued
Lag in Building Drag
On All Industry, Trade
WASHINGTON. Not. 29. ( AP)
President Roosevelt asked congress
today to liberalize existing law to
encourage billions of dollara worth
of new "housing constmction In the
next five years.
In a message to the special sessldn
.completed before he left for a Florida
rest, the president asserted the
"long-continued lag In building Is
a drag on all Industry and trade"
and wa "one of the principal rea
sons why general business failed to
forge ahead" In rerent montha.
Wages, Costs Too High
Declaring Increase In hourly wage
rates and material costs had been
"too rapid and too groat for the con
sumer to bear." and had checked
production and buying In other In
dustries, he said he would confer
with representatives of Industry,
labor and finance In an effort to
adjust such costs to consumers'
means.
Ho proposed eight changes in the
national housing act of 1934 to make
possible, through federal Insurance
of low -Interest mortgages, the pri
vate financing of large members of
housing unit.
Here are the amendment suggest
ed: 1 Raise the present Insurable
limit from 80 to 90 per cent of a
property's appraised value In the case
of .loans . owner-occupant. flhere
the property does not exceed 16,000
In' appraised value. The president
said this was of "great Importance"
because It would permit persons hard
hit by the depression to buy homes
with a down payment of aa low as
10 per cent . Instead of 20 per cent,
as at present.
2 Reduce the Interest and service
charge on Insured loans from b to
8 per cent.
Part of Program
The president aald he was preaentr
lng these proposals for Immediate
consideration a "an Important part

business activity and employment
