New Orleans.—Two old land marks In New Orleans’ Vleux Carre are waging a bitter battle to win the distinction of being erected a century and a quarter ago as ref uges for the Emperor Napoleon. Decision given recently by His torian Stanley (’Ilsby Arthur to a dilapidated, little known place at M4 Chartres street, shorn of Its decorative Iron work, Is being hotly contested by the numerous fans of the long-recognised Glrod bouse at QUILTED FABRICS lit ( IIKKIK.

Arthur claims the Glrod house was not built until nine years after the little emperor’s death, while Gen. Allison Owen, peer among New Or leans’ Creole architects, contends thnt recently discovered features give the Glrod house definite con nection with the colorful Bonapnrt Ist episode In New Orleans history, when a group of New Orleans’ loy alists under the leadership of Domi nic You, lieutenant of pirates, projected an expedition to rescue Napoleon from St. Helena. The United States commission for the survey of historic buildings ap parently has sided with the Glrod house advocates because lllchurd E. Koch, architect supervisor of the government studies, has preserved In photographs and sketch every de tail of the architectural beauty of the ’’favorite.” It seems now ns If the local float ers of tradition are making a de termined sally against everything having to do with Napoleor In New Orleans. They recently published an elabo rate statement to prove that the fn mons New Orleans death mask of Napoleon, reposing In a place of honor In the Onblldo museum, along with Doctor Antomarcehl. the do nor, who claimed to have been Na poleon's physician at the time of his death, both are fakes.

SEEN HEARD around the National Capital iB? CARTER FIELD* Washington.—No final decision on Section 7A—the Wierton case—can be obtained for one year. That is , the inside view at the Department ■ of Justice. Lawyers there do not see any way of short-circuiting the | Circuit Court of Appeal and thus getting the case before the Supreme Court of the United States at once. This means that NBA most he extended by congress without bene j fit of knowledge as to what the final ruling Is to he. As a result the ad ministration will press for extension for two years, as originally pro posed, without any attempt to re write or clarify Section "A. This had been agreed upon by virtually every element concerned before the decision in the Wierton case—at a time, as a matter of fact, when Washington thought the Wierton case would be won by the govern ment. It is all the more essential now, because nobody can tell In advance | how to rewrite Section 7A so as to ! bring It within the high court’s i views as to constitutional limits. Prevailing opinion here is that when the case Is finally decided by the Supreme court the decision will re verse tlie Wilmington court, and up hold the government. And that tlie decision will he by the same five to four majority that divided the court in upholding tlie government in the gold clause case. Hut naturally opinion in Wash ington would be that, especially as it was felt so strongly that the case would he decided for the gov ernment In the lower court That Is the way Washington, dominated by so many Now Deal lawyers and De partment of Justice attorneys, func tions ns to its legal thought. It Is the reason Washington thought it was a ten to one bet that tlie high court would uphold tlie government on the gold case, although actually the decision was by tlie tight vote of five to four, so that any one Justice on the ma jority side could have changed It. Not Before Christmas After ttie Supreme court decision of the Wlerton ouse, which cannot well he expected before next Christ mas, there will undoubtedly be a new attempt to rewrite Section 7A if the high court decision should be against the government. Hut before that a lot of water will have run under the country’s bridges. It may well be that the whole attitude of the administration will have changed. I’.est opinion is that some form of NJtA will remain with us always. It goes to the essentials of the New Deal philosophy. Many lines of busi ness. for reasons us far apart its the poles, want some phase of it re tained. In many Instances the chief desire Is to prevent competitors from “chiseling.” Hut in others this is not the main motive at all. For example, in the coal Industry the saving grace of the code, ns far as members of the Industry are con cerned, is the price tixlng provision, whereas in many lines price lixing is anathema In the coal trade, how ever, it Is generally admitted that (lie Industry could never have been brought together on any code what ever had It not been for the price lixing element. Then along conies the Guffey bill, which if enacted would remove this one string that Is holding the Indus try together for the code. Business as a whole, if the National Associa tion of Manufacturers can be ac cepted as speaking for It, Is op posed to the Guffey bill, which would virtually make coal a pub lic utility and impose drastic regu lation. The United Mine Workers are strongly for the bill. The National Coal association, which might be expected to speak for the operators, has been abso lutely silent, and Is expected to re main so. But individuals in the or ganization In Washington have de clared heatedly that the hill is an outrage. Radicals, worried about the con stitutionality of NRA In view of the Wlerton decision, are strongly for the Guffey bill, and anything else like it for other industries. They are Interested in the march townrd stricter and stricter control of ev erything by the government. Utilities Campaign For the first time since the pub lic utilities came under attack, they have begun utilizing in an organized way the power of their army of stockholders. And they had to choose a time when there was an other Issue, which was very much more appealing—publicity for In come tax returns. The effects on the mull are pro digious. They threaten to swell postal receipts so much that I’oat muster General .fames A. Farley will not have to resort to fancy bookkeeping to prove that the de partment Is no longer In the red. .lust as an Illustration. Senator Marcus A. t'oolidge of Massachu setts has been averaging 1.000 let ters a day. Slightly more than 000 of ’tiese urge that the law provld log for publicity lor Income tax re turns he repealed, and more than .'too protest against the drastic leg islation intended to eliminate hold ing companies. In fact, the old-timers say you Save to go back to the days of 191fl SDd 1917, when the United States was drifting into war, and there was an organized propaganda against It, to get anything like a comparable volume of mail. Many senators profees that they pay no attention to letters, which are obviously Inspired by some sucb propaganda. But when the letters corne from voters in their states whose names are big enough to mean something to their secre taries. this aloof attitude becomes a mere poise. They are affected. And in these two Instances—re peal of the publicity provision of the income tax and the holding company legislation—naturally a considerable percentage of the let ters and telegrams come from influ ential people, of whom a smaller percentage are apt to be on friendly terms, sometimes political support ers. of the senators receiving the mail. Fight Over “Pink Slip” As a result of the present deluge. It is actually a probability and not just a mere possibility, that the "pink slip" provision will be re pealed. Not without a fight. Sen ator Robert M. La Follette and Sen ator George W. Norris, both of whom at different times forced through Income tax return pub licity provisions, will both fight repeal. They will tie Joined by many others. Rut expectancy now Is that the provision will be repealed Just file same. The house of representa tives never was very strong for it. In each case where It was enacted, the resulting provision was a com promise forced by the house. Roth Norris and La Follette wanted, and still want, the income tax returns to be made a matter of public rec ord. They resent the "pink slip” Idea, which merely makes public a small part of the entire return, but also encourages newspaper publica tion of the reported incomes. Rest information Is that President J evelt has no objection to re i The treasury does not like the provision. His Position Stronger President Roosevelt is not weaker In strategic position than he was be fore his two senate rebuffs. He is immeasurably stronger. Stronger be cause lie has progressed definitely toward the position outlined In these dispatches right after last Novern tier's election—the happy and typi cally Rooseveltlan position of being in between two extremes. Let us dismiss the World court. It meant nothing but local sentiment in the states which elected the dis senting senators. The lineup on the St. Lawrence seaway treaty will also mean nothing. The motives will be almost entirely geographical. For example, even if Huey Long loved and adored Franklin Roosevelt, he would still have to vote against that treaty, because almost to a man the people of New Orleans think the treaty would hurt their city by di verting business it now handles to the new route. Rut consider a much more impor tant question—(lie prevailing wage tight In the work relief hill. Immediately after the last election it was apparent that hope for any successful opposition to the Presi dent in the 1930 campaign, as far as the Republican party was concerned, was very low, indeed. It also ap peared that the menace of a new radical movement was so far nebul ous. Hence the chief problem of Pres ident Roosevelt, with most fear ns to 1930 opposition from purely po litical angles eliminated, became to prevent an economic situation devel oping wldch would endanger him. In short, if in some way business could be made better, so that the hope of prosperity's coming nack under his guidance should he strong in 1930, there would be almost no threat ened opposition to him in that year at all. In the Middle He had attained his old favorite position—in the middle; with ex tremes on either side—each of which would far rattier have Roose velt continue in the saddle than to have the other extreme victorious. Just as In tlie preconvention maneu vering In 1912 Roosevelt wound up with the supposedly dry South en thusiastically for him. It had turned to him despite his wetness because it feared A1 Smith might be named otherwise. The fact that Roosevelt, after the 1914 endorsement, stood squarely in between the radicals and the ex treme conservatives was obvious, but had not been demonstrated forc ibly to the country. Many shrewd business leaders realized it. And at the same time gave up hope. In Hie face of ttiose election returns, of getting back to ttie old order by 19,1(5. So they were ready to sup port the President, mildly. Then canie the work relief bill, and the prevailing wage Issue. And to the amazement of conservative business men, hoping Roosevelt could beat the radicals, the most talked about candidate for the Re publicans In 1919. Senator Vandeji berg of Michigan—one of the few Republicans to weather the 1914 landslide—voted with the radicals. So did a lot of other Republicans generally regarded as conservative. And now friends of the President are busy building backfires, ap parently to turn a few votes In the senate so as to prevent this long step towards Socialism. Copyrlsbt.—WNU Service.

Never had people seemed so much like marching ants as they tiled , past her, nor the world Itself more like a dunghill of crawling In I sects. Claude, her stepfather, was wait ing for her In the lobby of the Maldridge. Mother worked, but ! Claude lived on a pension; be was gassed or something once. Patricia had Just come to live with them I since Aunt Margot died. Aunt Mar got understood. Patricia was a sen sitive child that needed encourage merit and patience. Her talent need ed good soil nrd fair weather for Its growth. Aunt Margot had nour shed Pat’s literary Heed. But Aunt Margot had died and Patricia at nineteen was left dependent on mother and Claude. Claude seemed to hold some strange power over mother. Patricia loathed him. He was heavy and almost vulgar, and the once good contour of his face was flabby now. Claude thought Patricia a moon-struck fool. He bad told her to get out and find a Job and make her own. Mother had mildly added that It would do her no harm. Three mornings now had she walked the streets and answered ads, and made Inquiries. “Any ex perience?” How could one say yes? Some took her application; others would not do that, it was a strange, hateful world. At the corner she Sow a voluptu ous old negress wabbling down the street. She was humming to the swaying of her rippling fat. Pa tricia watched her while waiting for the green light. The old black woman came up to her. “Well, hello, honey, Miss Wilma.” Pat stared at her, not replying. "I know you all think you don’t know me,” she went on, “but I knows you. I knows you by that pretty little dress you wearing." Patricia felt embarrassed. “Get out," she said hurriedly. “I’m a stranger here in town.” The light was green. Patricia hurried ncross, but the old woman was at her heels and talking loudly. “Sho nuff. Well you and Miss Wilma jus’ look so much alike, ah, honey, you don’ know no one who wants a good washwoman?” Well this wns technique. “No,” said Patricia kindly and quickly realized her Indulgent tone was a mistake; the negress was walking abreast of her now. “Well, yo’ all eouldn’ put a nickel on a church calendar, could ya?” “I’m looking for a job myself." and Pat suddenly jay-walked to shake her off, but the old negress jay-walked, too. “Dat’s right, honey, dat’a right. You'll find one. too. Just depend on da good Lord ... he makes fo’ us all.” Well, that was a thought. Then the old woman stopped to confab with a street cleaner and, Pat, seeing her chance, dodged down the street. It was only a little piece, however, until the old woman came calling after her. “Llssen, chile, you done run off and pass'd up a sign In dnt winds . . . You niustn’ nebbah pnss a sign. Miss Honey.” Desparlngly, Pat looked back. "Why, sure enough, It says ’Girl Wanted.’ I might go In." The old woman nodded proudly and turned back with her. Well, this was too much. "Listen, you stay here. I’d better go by myself,” she said, but Just as she was about to enter the shop door the old negress caught up with her. "I ain’ gonna let you po’ child go In there without no he'p,” she said, opening her dilapidated purse the while. “Heah, now, this gonna he’p da good Lord do his work." She took out a rabbit’s foot, and giving It three moaning kisses, handed It to the young girl. Laughingly Pat took It. What a quaint old fool, she mused, as she entered the place. "I saw your sign In the window, sir.” "Oh, I forgot.” But then he was staring round-eyed at the thing In her hand. "What’s that?” he said. Pat looked down and felt the heat creep over her chin and up her cheeks. She gave a silly little laugh. "Oh, that’s for good luck,” she said. The man did not smile but looked a long time at her Innocent young face. “All right ... all right . . ." he said at length gruffly. "Report In the morning. Place for a girl in the office.” The lady standing beside the man ager gave a significant humph. "I thought you wanted clerking help,” she said. "I did,” he answered, "but I Just hired a woman for that. I forgot to take the sign down.” “They why In the world did you hire this young thing for?” "1 don't know," he mused softly. “Did you see that rabbit’s foot? Luella. do you remember how we tied our wedding rings to the horse shoe a full week before the wed ding?” Luella gave a snort and walked behind the counter. "Just Imagine people still believ ing In such chnrms. I didn't have the nerve to disillusion her, so young."
