The purpose of the Hoover-Imperial . style of architecture, of which the postofflce Is an outstanding speci men, was to make bureaucrats look aa much as possible like bank presi dents. The Ropers and the Cum mlngses, the Perkinses and the Par leys are enshrined In opulent wilder nesses of columns and ornament, which suggest only that they cost- a great deal of money. In all Wash ington, moreover, the Parley cham bers are by far the most magnificent.

He remembers the days when he was an Elk on a tour, cor rallng delegates for Roosevelt. He remembers his first great triumph in 1833.

Serious If Permanent Frankly I am vary much con cerned about the trends that thai (the farm) bill establishes." he aald.' "If we are to treat this aa emergency legislation, or as a stop-gap until other plans can be put into opera-' tton, then the situation la much leas serious but If the bill Is the begin nlng of a permanent plan for agri culture, then I am decidedly against: some of lte regimental provisions," Olll laid particular stress on a. section "which Beta up governmental: control ' over the acreage quotas which farmers can produce In cer tain major crops." - " "Whenever the government by all of Its force and power, tells farmer how many acres of this crop or that, crop he can plant and how much he cna sell without being penalised, then I tblnk we should know what, kind of road we are traveling,' aald the master. . . i He said he hoped the fanner was not going to surrender political free dom for economic advantage and he criticised particularly the method of. determining acreage on a historical, basis, tn other words, he said, the wheat grower, if he wanted to plant corn, would have to buy the vested right of corn farming from some, farmer who had established a his, torlcal base for that crop.
