common theory that Thomas a. Cor

means youth at the prow and com
munism at the helm. The theory Is
pure nonsense. Corcoran Is ft genial,
untiring, remarkable Intelligent and
reasonably disinterested fellow, whose
fertile mind and pleasant personality

Lately, the new deal has been mov

more aggressive political strategy,

drivel talked and written about Cor
coran, this seems like 'a good tlnw
to see what sort of fellow He really la
The notion of Tom Corcoran's ex
treme youth no doubt derives from
his boyish and unassuming manner
and his odd chubblness. At first
glance, he calls to mind a rather
nature choir boy. Look closer, and
you see a stocky, short man, nearing
forty, with large eyes, a brilliant
smile and a shock of graying black
hair. The moat striking tiling about
him Is the Impression he gives of
Immense mental and physical en
ergy. He haa , not the appearance, and
he does not lead the life of a com
missar. He and his brilliant partner.
Ben Cohen, probably work harder
than any other two men in Wash

draw bills, draft speeches, and watch
the carrying out of policies for the
president, whom they call "the boss."
Yet, In spite of their manifold
duties, they wield no sinister and
determining Influence. They are not
the minds behind the throne. They
are merely very useful to the pres
ident, because they express more
ably than any others the most Im
portant of the many competing pol
itical viewpoint within the new

Corcoran is the front man for the

Patching of Nazi-Praha
Government Quarrel
Peace Talk Is Arranged
(By the Associated Press)
Sharp British and French warnings
to Adolf Hitler and a bristling dis
play of Czechoslovakia's determina
tion to defend herself at all costs
allayed Europe's war fever today.
Behind the warnings, which bore
the implication of military assistance
to the central European democracy
If Hitler marched against It, wore
effort by London and Paris to see
that the Praha government and Kon
rad Henleln's defiant nozls patched
up their quarrel.
Prime Minister Chamberlain told
the British house of commons that
Premier Milan Hodza and Henleln.
Hitler's "echo" tn Czechoslovakia
would meet tonight or tomorrow to
talk peace.
Wants Order Guaranty
Stocky, bespectacled Henleln had
refused to talk terms with Phaha
until tho government guaranteed
order tn districts wherein dwell the
3,500,000 Germans for whom he had
demanded nazl-style autonomy.
There had been outbursts Insults
fist fights and the shooting of two
Sudeten Germans by Czechoslovak
border guards on the eve of yester
day's communal elections, the first
of three election Sundays seen as ft
test of nazl political strength.
But yesterday's voting was qutet
and, as another contribution to case
the crisis, Czechoslovakia apologized
to Germany for what the Czecho
slovak military command termed an
"unauthorized" attempt to dynamite
border bridge.
Through Sir NcvJIe Henderson
British ambassador to Berlin. Prance
and Britain were reported to have
warned Hitler they would not toler
ate war tn C'zrrchot'iovakia In the
style of the "Internationalized" civil
war In Spain.
See Crisis Rased
Uneasy statesmen of the two big
democracies felt that the crisis had
eased, temporarily at least, but
French quarters emphasized the pos
sibility of a "million incidents" If
it were true that Czechoslovakia 5
nazls had been supplied with arms
from Germany,
There were persistent reports In
Parl6 that such was the case.
Still unsettled was the future of
Czechoslovakia's 3,500.000 Germanic
minority, over whom Adolf Hitler
had declared a hazy sort of protec
torate which many had feared he
would put Into armed effect as a
result of pre-election disorders In
Czechoslovakia.
Time and the scant reassurance
that Hitler had not acted yet-
worked In favor of British and French
efforts to forestall a clash Into which
surely France and possibly Britain
would be drawn.
The first of a series of Czechoslo
vak communal elections, seen aa a
test of the Nazi political strength
among the 3,500,000 Sudeten Ger
mans, came off peacefully yesterdsy.
