BUSINESS MEN ELECT PALUMBO CHURCHES WILL HAIL EASTER ALASKA CLAIMS MARIAN BOSWELL Eyes of the Faithful Pin Gaze On ‘Jim* Farley, Job Dispenser The ROOSEVELT C AB B IN E T A fter 12 lean years in the political Sahara, the democrats have taken over the Washington oasis and the man next to the President to whom they are loking most expectantly Is James A. Farley, postmaster-general. He has already served notice that the entire party strength and patronage will be used to put through the Roosevelt pro gram and do all in his power to sell tlie democratic party to the country. The new post office chief is from Stony Point village of New York. A t 11 he was helping a widowed mother sup port a fam ily of five children. H e car ried a torch In a Bryan parade. He was crack first baseman on the ball team. A t 30 he had become a figure In state politics, climbing from his first job of town clerk. He tided A1 Smith during his cam paign for governor and as a * reward was appointed chairman of the state athletic commission. The story goes that it was Jim Farley who urged Franklin D. Roosevelt to accept the proposal to head the New York ticket In 1928. By 1930 he was definitely under the Roosevelt aegis and his man was elected. A year later Mr. Farley took up his second Job of President-making and now he has come into national prom inence at the age of 44. Unfailingly genial, he neverthless requires that e/ery state Democratic organization perfect its machinery before Jobs are dispensed. Parley says ‘‘it is an act of patriotism to so add to the strength of the party as to Insure its continuance in power.’’ He la forever hammering at the forging of a strong and united democracy.
