s;?.. PAGE EIGHT The Week in' W ashingtbn 1 b; C? ? A RESUME OF QOVS&NMEN- "?*] MENTAL HAFTENING3 IN J THE NATIONAJ, GVF1TAL ' w Washington ?This is distinctly the ? political off season in Washington, for; most, of the best political prophets and soothsayers are hanging around c the Presidential candidates or fot- . lowing their trail through the conn- ^ try. But there are still some who l\ foregather at the National Press Club: c and some of these have lately been .* putting- in their apart time figuring out the Cabinet change? which are; ^ vue after the next presidential dec-'t. tft. ' If Mr. Roosevelt is reelected it i3; the genera! belief \n Washington that cl one of the- first of his Cabinet mem- er bcis to be changed will be Harold W. l'ckes. Secretary of the Interior. Mr.! t j, Ickes probably will be moved upstairs, fr by being appointed Controller Gen- th erat t>? the United States, the post v> which has kc-u vacant since July 1, C<1 when the term of John McCarl ex- or pired. ,,c Another Cabinet member who may be shifted to some other post is i M Dan Roper. Secretary of Commerce.pi Mr. Roper per?fc8ha!!y well advanced fr in years and is inclined to take the w) uitra-coiisert alive view of problems in ' th h\s department. He has a strong p:>- be iifcical following in the South "e Other Cabinet Posts It is also believed to be on the cards that Mrs. Paul Wilson, officially known by her maiden name of jprai.ces Perkins, Secretary of Labor, a will be shifted. Madam Secretary he Perkins has been on the spot for a r?r year or more. To some observers it seems as if she had done a good job and preserved a sane middle course in * the management of her department But a sane middle course is not pleas- : 1 ing either to organized labor or to ! !1 organized employers. She does not go the whole distance with either ra group. Pr Claude. A. Swansori. Secretary of u the Navy, !s also expected to re- w tire, for no other reason than that. of greatly impaired health and ad* P* vancing years. George H. Dern. Sec-, r<l rvtary of War. to whom the President I ''' refers affectionately as "dear old George." is Ukoiy to retain his post. ; 81 Nobody lias suggested for a mtn- v ute the possible retirement of Hen-. ^ ry A. Wallace as Secretary of Agrl- i P* culture. He U regarded as trailing! ? very close to the President in his i cutlock upon the farm problem, and ; Pi probably wlU be continued if the J w President retains ha "yfice. Some dopsters sunn.se that strong j 11 pressure will be put upon Mr. Roose-; !a veil if victorious, to get rid of See-; s' retary of State, the venerable Cor-, P' dell Hull, of Tennessee There seems I to be no reason to anticipate any jy change in tire Attorney Generalship.! Also, Secretary of the Treasury. Sec-! retary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., stands j -.cry high in presidential favor, part-, .v because of his conduct in his of- p, fice and partly because of a long, si and warm personal friendship. j u A.oa one 01 me present Cabinet q members who is certain to be con- j a tinueii in office, as the gossips here. I m see it. will be his campaign manager,; ai James A. Farley. Postmaster Gen- j Se gnMnran 'The Lantlon Choices i U Of course tlie field for speculation pc as to Mr. Landon's probable Cabinet le if he should be elected is wide open Se for anybody to guess in. The only thing that seems certain at this stage nr is that if Mr. Landon comes to the F1 White House. John D. M. Hamilton, fa Chairman of the Republican Nation- to; ai Committee, will come into the Cab- Mi ir.et in some capacity. If tradition ne is followed, he will be Postmaster w( General. an Speculators along these lines are lol in quite general agreement that the he man for Secretary of Agriculture is ioi Senator Lester Jj Dickinson of Iowa, sic If Mr. Landon, assuming he becomes President, follows the prece- pli dent set by Mr. Roosevelt of naming foi a woman to a Cabinet post, the best wi bet at this time would stem to be :ct Miss Natalie Couch, of New York. ; s probably the nearest to being ;,a-. foi iional leader of organised Republi- a-, can Women And she might as well an go to the Department of Labor as i?.g anywhere else. j for For Secretary of the Treasury,] ; these Washington gossips " Relievo."' ids that John H. McGarl, of Nebraska, j pis former Controller General, would | ir.g do. ! ,jai For Secretary of State the sagged- j ;ar tion is offered that the Republican j rai best qualified lot the job and most i ;)c likely to be eager to get it is Sena- -,a cor Borah of Idaho. Foreign rela- i bei tions are his specialty and have been i j for many years. For Secretary of J "1 War this group the other might hit <je upon Col. Henry Breckinridge, who CC was Assistant Secretary of War in ;ri President Wilson's Cabinet. Like- ? wise. talk naturally centers upon Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy, j olj for the Navy portfolio. I 1)0 Other Outside Guesses ,,s The gossips also suggest that some ^ outstanding young business man with j a wide grasp of national affairs; should head the Department of Com- j ar merce and here the name of Lewis | sa H. Brown, President of the John- CI Manville Corporation, is oftenest heard. Among other Cabinet suggeo- be tioris emanating from tho same circle W w RURAL ELEC TRIC | ?

I a jtltinirig the work which led to thej k pprovaj of tiie Caldwell county, proet. and stated that all that was o sary to include Watauga county' as 'work arid sacrifice'' on the part $ f a representative group of her citi- j 1113. 1 The farm agent of the neighboringj >unty stressed the fact that ir? help-j a sg to formulate the project arid af- < r approval, as for that matter, the! a tizens are in rio way obligated toj i le Federal government. No liens t_ re taken on property in any way le only security the government ha*, ^ jing in the actual transmission lines ij, constructs A local association is 0 trmed, after a project is approved, 5 says, property owners along the tj reposed lines agree to purchase the"., irrcnt provided: the Federal gov V nrnent provides the .money at torse ir cent, and the debt of the associa- j on is to be paid in twenty years om the proceeds of the current sold e consumers. Current, it was regaled, may be bought from power unpaiiius at a low wholesale rate, , in extreme conditions, it is said, ' meratihg units will be installed. One point of interest developed by r. Carruthers was that electric ap- q ianct-s. irons, washing machines, re- p iterators and a!I the mechanisms j ^ SBcn have done so much to remove j h e drudgery from the household; will tavailable at something like 60 per : tit of the usual cost.

I c Mr. Messiek. an engineer, who was. g strumental in the formation of the iidwell project spoke briefly, eulo-! t zing Mr. Dough ton for his speed : gaining immediate approval of i & eir project, and Mr. Jones also j 1ade some remarks. All the gentle- i s en from the neighboring county ex-, i^ssecl their willingness to cooper-! ^ e with Wataugans in every possible! ^ ay in the completion of the project, j County Agent Coilins, at the com- ~ etion of the meeting, was suggest- q \ as the likely sponsor of a survey r gather the information necessary A r submission at the project, and a C *oup of men from each community C ere to have started on the suvrey c Vdnesday morning. They will re- J >rt their findings at a meeting to held in Boone Saturday, and it is c purpose of Die people to have thel ? -oiect ready and perhaps approved', * itiiin two weeks. C Considerable enthusiasm pervaded a to meeting, as was evidenced by the j rge number of questions asked the .) >eakers as to the details of Ihc REA J roposal. 1 lillions Of Trees Se tOut By Farmers s _ i Out of mere than twenty-six mil- J>n trees distributed through federal- * ate cooperation to farmers of the lilted States for planting in 1935, j eorgin was second on the list with p planting for farm woodlands of j. ore than three million trees Thi3 p mouncement was made toay by Jo- v ph C.

South Carolina and Ten- M ssee. Most of the trees planted T ire primarily for timber, puipwood ^ d turpentine production, slash, lob- G ly and longleaf pine being the most "F avily used trees. Numbers of black :ust, however, were planted for ero- jj m control purposes The distribution of trees for farm R mting was carried out by state jr restry departments cooperating E th the United States Forest Serv- R i under the tree production section R ectlon i) of the Clarke-McNary 11 rertry law. Under this law trees H _ distributed billy to farmers, and ^ f sold at cost. The object of this f" risiation is solely to encourage re- ? "station. especially on farm lands, g. Vtr. Kircher staled that one of the -p -nifican* features of these farm mtings is the fact that eacli piant- jj 1 represents an individual who an- L. -stands the value of farm wood- C uls and who not only will assist in: E ing for his own woodlands cut will 1IM a force in the community for the; H .intonajice and protection of a" tlm- j ^ - lands. | ,ato duly the Southern Regions" ! ?, ice of the United States Forest i e' rvice issued figures showing thai.! -yj 'C enrollees had planted iS.OOO.OOt; j j.j e.- on national forest lands in the i School Supplies c.
