A l«ew N.B~A.?
Brerybody is talking about tbe
better feeing between the Ad
ministration and business, but
many are wondwing how long it
will last. There is a rumor goii.g
around that one group of Aa-
mlnlstration advisers rather wel
come the business recession, be
lieving that it will lead to a de
mand from business for a revlv
al of the N.R.A.
Snino suspicious politicians In
GongrceS are wondering whether
the President, in saying that he
la for changing the corporation
tax system whenever Congress is
ready for it, was not “passing the
buck” to Congress, so that the
blame for any failure of busi
ness to respond to whatever it is
that Congress finally decides to
do, will be placed on Congress
and not on the White House.
Jesse Jones,''Chairman of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion and regarded as about as
level-headed as any man in
Washington, is one of the pun
gent critics of the tax on undis
tributed corporate earnings. The
Government lends money to cor
porations through the R.F.C., he
pointed! out, but if the coroora-
tlon saves enough of its profits
to pay back the' loan, it has to
pay a tax for the privilege of
clearing off its debt to the Gov
ernment.
Mr. Oliphant Steps Down
Quietly and “unolficu«lly'’ the
word has gone out from the
Treasury Department that here
after Mr. Herman Oliphant. legal
adviser to the Secretary of the
Treasury, will function only in
a legal caparity. Mr. Oliphant is
the gentleman "'ho “sold” the
President on Prof. Tugwell’s
scheme for taxing undistrihated

The "voluntnry census”' of the
unemployed hns 4>emi a cHiBl&er-
sble diatu>polatmmt to^its pro
moters, because so few of the un
employed filled in all of the an^
swera on the Imigthy QueaUont
naire. Thus no real light' has
been thrown on the basic prob
lem of unemployment. The Gov
ernment has rented two floors of
a private garage, nearly an acre
of floor space, to provide accom
modations tor the 1,000 men and
women employed to tabulate the
unemployment census returns.
The tremendous increase in the
use of counting machines, tabu
lating devices, mechanical book
keeping equipment and other of
fice machinery by the new Fed
eral burdens has made Uncle Sam
the largest customer for that
sort of equipment. Gossip -has it
that fThomas J. Watson, presi

head of the International Cham
ber of Commerce, is slated for an
important Ambassadorial -post in
the near future.

Ann, the cook, roD out th«
cooky dough and cut round moons;
then put them in a long pan ready
for the oven. When they cm* out
all smelly and warm Ann would pul
some on a paper pUte for Patsy
to eat. Ann had fAnieest dlmpfo
when she smiled, aM Patsy woidd
smile right back at her and say:
UTbank, you. Cooky lady.”
Sometimes there were brown
cookies and fruity ones, too, bnt the
red and green candied ones that
Ann made for Christmas were the
very best of all. Patsy adored Ann.
Through the seven short years of
her life she had been her constant
companion. Mother was Just the
lovely lady who was always busy
with her clubs and going places,
and Daddy was too busy at the of
fice to be bothered much; but there
was always Ann.
Patsy liked the nice postman,
Tim, who came to see Ann and
sometimes they all went to the
movies together. Tim could play
“pretend” almost as good as Ann.
But once she heard him call Ann
his best girl, and say: "Some day
you’re going to cook for me.” After
that she did not like him so well.
Things seemed all wrong, and Santa
hadn't answered her letter, and it
was only two days till Christmas.
She had said: “Please write soon,”
and that had been days ago. He
must help quick, or it would be too
late. Several times a day she would
go to the mailbox and stand on tip
toe to look in for fear her letter had
been overlooked,
"Here, Tim,” said one of the of
fice clerks, “is another of the kid
letters to Santa Claus; guess this
one’s up to you.” Printed in a
childish scrawl on the envelope, Tim
read: “Santa Claus, care of Tim.”
He drew out the folded paper. It
read; “Dear Santa, please bring
Tim another best girl cause Ann has
to cook for us.”
“Your friend, Patsy Reynolds."
Tim stared, then chuckled; “San
ta, old boy, you’re up against it
this time.”—Jociie Webb Pearson.

The labor situation Is not be
ing resolved very fast. *1110 Fed-
eratlOQ of Labor and the Lewis
C are still, at odds. Tb« only
pofhi they agree on is that the
National Labor Relations Board
and tbe Department of Labor are
not doing a very good Job. Indi
cations! are seen in Administra
tion and Congreesional circles of
a change in tbe Qovenunent’s at
titude toward labor. There are
bints of a well-backed movement
to revise the Wagner Labor Rela
tions Act to give employers a
better break.

As Little Santa Claus
Canary Was a Success
Wl
ITH Christmas so near and
no money for a gift for
Nedda Langley, his sweet
heart and inspiration for compos
ing. and now this cold rainy day.
Car! Woods felt very low spirited.
'fhen he saw the little bird out
side the window. He opened the
window—the bird flew in and
perched on the piano where it
seemed quite at home. Standing by
the piano wondering what to do with
his visitor, Carl let his fingers wan
der over the keys. “Tweet tweet”
the bird said and then began to sing
lustily. Intensely interested, Carl
continued playing and as long as he
played the bird sang.
Suddenly realizing he was playing
something he had never heard be
fore, Carl beg.an making note of
what he had been playing. Growing
chilled, he arose to close the win
dow he had left open. To his sur
prise, the bird was gone, nor could
it be found in thC room. He couldn’t
remember when ho had last heard
it singing. Where could it be?
Looking across the court of the
apartment building he noticed in the
window opposite, a bird cage, and
a canary was hopping around on the
window sill. Although the window
was closed now. it must have been
open earlier and the bird had taken
advantage of its freedom.
Whether it was the same bird
that had visited Carl, he and Nedda
always felt it was and called it
“Little Santa Claus" for it had
brought happiness and prosperity,
for Carl's composition was accepted
and an advance payment made.—
