THE HEUJliHA ArRlL, 14, 1935 18 To Read or the Question By WILL ROGERS all I know li Just what I road In the papers, or what 1 nee as I try to look down through tlio wlngi of tin aeroplane. If you want to gee lomethlng dont go up In the air and try to Bee It. Just an you glimpse It, why the wine ol the a will cover It and before the wing passes over It, Its too far back to see. I flew Bait And back here a couple of weeks ago and It was when the dust storms were golne, and In lots of places where the real dust storm was not operating. It was dark and looked like rain, and I said to my sister In Oklohama, Its going to rain today, and she aald, "No, Its been this way for days and daya.

Its just the very fine dust thats In the air." I Just beon reading tonight some reviews. I have tlio autobiography but I havent had time to read It, but will, of John Hays Hammond, the great engineer, who baa operated all over the world. Ho used to come out here to my place and we would talk South Africa. Wo would talk about the Jamleson raid. He was mixed up In it, and Its what marled the Boer War.

He was down there before the war, and I got In just before the end. Not In the fighting. I was breaking horses, und at the close working with a little wild west show. (My very first show experience). He has had a great colorful career.

IHIH John Hays Hammond. years old the other day I was going to send him a wire, but i everything else I am going to do. I i It before the time comes.

I Intended to answer em, but I knew darn well I wasent going to. There alnt a thing In the world to lay It onto but laziness. I could have quit talking and boring somebody long enough to answered a lot of them.

I could have stayed up an hour or so later and answered another dozen or so, but no I was too darn lazy, and I got sleepy early, and then the darn reading. I want to read everything In the world thats In a paper. No sporting writer ever wrote anything that I dldent read It all. Why you know what I do, and I bet you I am unique. I oven read the editorials.

Yes sir, you cant beat that for mlBselaneous reading. Thats what you call exploring In reading. Course I forget everything 1 read. I havent got any more memory than a billy goat, and I forget about nine tenths of what I read, and get the other tenth wrong. But It makes me think that I am sorter doing something when I am read- Ing.

Then too, I can fall to sleep and never drop a paper. My closest friend cant tell when I am reading or Bleeping. They are pretty near always wrong. They soy, "You read lot," and I say, "No. I sleep a lot over my reading." If they would Just printing newspapers for about a year.

I could get Borne books read, but by the time the dally papers are read 1 am sound asleep.

1 Pittsburgh. April William Mellon, who will pause today In the very midst of an exhausting tax wrangle to observe 80th birthday, Is today a rather lonely and wistful figure. He Is amazingly trim and 'fit for a man of his age. All who marked his appearance In the Income tax hearings here have been Impressed by his springy step. Ills face seems less drawn and haggard than It was two years ago, when he retired from 12 years of public service.

Secretary of the treasury under three presidents, ambassador to the Court of St. James, one of the richest men in the world--a great deal of history, financial, industrial und political, lias left the touch of those slim, aristocratic hands. Now, look- Ing down at all that from 80 years, A. W. Mellon may be pardoned a slightly preoccupied air.

Most of those stories, that "Inside knowledge," will die with A. W. Mellon one day. The Mellons have done many things, but they bare never talked much. Unloads His Harden A.

W. Mellon may live many years, as the Clan Mellon IB long- lived stock. But It Is plain that he Is gradually divesting himself of the burden of his millions. And whether he gazes out from the old home In Pittsburgh's east end, perched on a bluff-like terrace 100 feet or more above sedate Fifth avenue, or from the apartment he still maintains on Washington's Massachusetts avenue, A W. Mellon sees the sunset of hlo life and of the might of the Mellons.

From tho family mansion on Woodland road, tree-hidden from the public view, Mellon goes Quite regularly to the third floor office In the Mellon National bank build- Ing to supervise the Intricate arrangements that go with his withdrawal from the active scene. He seldom appears publicly In Pittsburgh. Years in Washington left him with a love of the capital. When the tax case Is over Mellon may return there, whero old friends and associates drop in at his apartment occasionally, though he entertains no more. I MO HEY BECOMES BURDEN ANDREW WILLIAM MELLON Tie may make one of his Infrequent trips to Alken, S.

C. But he will return to Pittsburgh, to the umoke and grime which have held the Clan Mellon close tor three gen- eratolns. Sunset? Yes. A. W.

Mellon Is the last of his generation. His two brothers, the older James and his inseparable "twin," both died but recently. The rumors of a reconciliation with his long-divorced wife never materialized. Even the old associates are pass- Ing. During the present tax case, H.

C. McAldowney, president of Mellon's groat Union Trust company, died. Old Power But the sunset Is on more than Mellon personally, as his lawyers detail to tax Inquisitors his efforts to "get out from under" with as little loss to his son and daughter, and as little dislocation of his Interests as possible. The '20s, when Mellon was "the greatest secretary of the treasury since Alexander Hamilton." are Just a bad dream now. The tax reductions which made Mellon an Idol then are gravely questioned now as a source of concentration of wealth and credit inflation that brought the crash ot 1929.

New Menaces The menace of conflscatory taxes and rising demands of labor In aluminum, coal and steel threaten the springs that have fed the Mellon fortunes. The political Influence that ruled Pennsylvania, and had a strong voice in the republican party nationally, has dwindled away. A democratic governor sits at Harrlsburg, and the voice of the family and advocate, David A. Reed, is hoard longer in the senate. The withdrawal from active affairs which has been BO well shown by the Mellon testimony during the present tax hearings was forecast when he came home In 1933 from England.

Mellon was plainly a tired man. Asked If he Intended to rest, he replied- "Well, I don't know about rest. Nobody rests. But I will be free, and I think I have reached an age when I am entitled to be free." Far Prom Free There is irony In that. For A.

W. Mellon IB not free. The present tax case and Its picture of elaborate efforts to pass on his responsibilities show it all too well. He has lived to see a different world from that In which he began his business career In 1868. It is a different world from that In which Thomas Mellon, his father started his career amid the Impoverishment which the depression of 1819 had brought the Immigrant family.

As the Mellon fortune passes now to the third generation, another chapter Is being written in as amazing a story of money as America has known. NEW DEAL PACK AND 5 JOKERS, A CANADIAN VIEW OF THE U.

PRINCESS BABS' RENO "CASTLE" Princess Barbara Ilutton Mdlvanl'n castle tho duration ot her divorce preparations will ho this pleasant bouse In Reno, Nevada, home of her Attorney, George D. Thatcher. She already has moved In to legal realdence prior to filing ault against Prince AlMla, IGHT at the bottom of the pack of cards that makes up America's New Deal are five At present they are jokers only In name. They havo not the usual power of the card to turn Itself Into an ace at will.

In fact, quite a lot of people call them Interfering cranks. But each has a wide following In his own community, his own school of thought. Each may one day gain enough of a following to trump the rest of the pack. Chief Joker at the moment Is mild-mannered but hard-fighting Dr. Francis Ernest Townsend.

He Is physician from the state that boasts It needs no doctors--California. He wants to be medicine man for United States. Dr. Townsend has a. plan.

It I simple--to him. "Pay government pensions of $200 a month," he says "to all citizens over 60 years ol age, and prosperity will peep from I around the corner." Dr. Townsend, who claims to havo 15,000,000 throughout the country, declares 8,000,000 Americans would be nov. eligible if or this pension. Half of them are employed.

If they had J200 a month, on condition they spend it all i that month, he asserts that $2,000,000,000 would be added to the nation's pocketbooks each month. Townsend would give John Rockefeller, Henry Ford and Plrepout Morgan the $20U-a-month pension. But to get It they would have to give up their salaries and positions and spend the money on whisky or something. The scheme would cost the country about $26,000,000,000 a year but Townsend shrugs his shoulders at this sight of that figure. "Just put on a two per cent sales tax," he says.

A bill to Introduce this plan, hailed by the experts as "crackpot," and "crazy," Is being prepared. Townsend does not care If he Is furloughed by the bill--he Is over 60--as long as it gets through. In the same class as the Townsend plan Is put the EPIC plan of joker No. two: Upton Sinclair. Sinclair made his start in life by writing boys' adventure stories.

He began to spurn the hand that fed him and i red books, he decided to become a politician. He lost his election for the governorship of California after an EPIC struggle. But he polled many more votes than even he really expected, and he is now "nursing 1 California for another campaign to launch his scheme for Its salvation. He would give persons over 60 only $60 a month, and then only after a residence of three years In the state. He would include, however, In his pension scheme, widows and orphans without means, and Invalids.

Main axioms of EPIC Poverty In are- The appropriation of the Idle land to be turned over to colonies of unemployed for cultivation; The acquisition of factories to be manned by more unemployed hi order to fashion the products at the colonies Into marketable goods, The appointment of a board lo 1s- s.ue scrip lo finance these schemes and to facilitate barter between ag- i a unemployed and manufacturing unemployed; Taxes, more taxes, and still more taxes on the wealthy. Third joker Is a man who has been balled as a madman, a hero, a crusader, and a patriot. He is Huey i i Long, a Belt- appointed "dlctaloi" of the atate of Louisiana, which he represents in the United States senate. Long's programme has seven planks to It: 1. To limit poverty at the expense of the rich.

2. Old-age pensions. 3. To limit the hours of woik. 4.

To balance agricultural production with consumption. 5. To care for veterans of America's wars 6. Taxation--none for the poor, plenty for the rich. 7.

Redistribution of wealth. There arc some who say that Long is a tjpical polilical "boss," who bullies his people Into submission. Hul there are others who Bay by doing things thai put him on i pages of the world's newspapeis ho makci the world I'topia conscious. Joker four Is a new ar- rlral on the polilical scene. Theodore Gilmore Bilbo, United States senator for Mississippi, comes lo Washington with a repu- for "crankiness," but he has been lucre for so short a time that no one knows how justified it IB.

Rilho hours a strong resemblance to Viscount Snowdon He is small In stature, broad-browed, with a face like an Inverted triangle. Its Is his datermlned chin, Its broad base his forehead. When he Is In lh senate he always wears a red tic and a horseshoe tlrpln. Bilbo's political a a was designed to I i Long. He promised not only to make every man a i but to give him a kingdom by a i It away from those who had II.

There are some In the senate who ore trying to persuade Kllbo to outdo Long. Bilbo has not begun yet, but at any moment that determined chin will start lo waggle, and then i joker might bo described St. Francis at the microphone. Ills name Is famous. Ills voice so magnetic that hU Sunday radio sermon had at much effect oa tke tlon as one of Roosevelt'i fireside chats.

Eight million Americans form their opinions on his Father Charles Coughlln by profession li a clergyman, by Inclination a politician. He may be president of the United States one day. There Is already a move to put him forward at the elections. His power Is enormous, second only to the president's, his fan-mall li 4,000,000 letters week. His policies are mainly financial.

He aupported Roosevelt's monetary programme until It stopped where he wanted It to begin. He prays for Inflation, and Inflation to the utmost. He hates Europe, loves the American Eagle. He Is pledged to complete isolation, utter Independence of the rest of the world. There are some who call him a blessing, others who call him a menace.

Whatever he Is, there is no doubt that Father Coughlln, pastor of the Shrine of the Little Flower, Is the nearest approach to a real joker In the hand that Is America's Naw Deal. WHITE HOUSE IS MOST WITHE OF HOMES Washington, April (ff) -The White was made a claimant last night by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt of the mythical title nation's moat hospitable home." "Last year there were 3.492 people who 'broke bread' In the White House with us, and 947,376 who went through the AVhlte House," Mrs. Roosevelt told a radio audience.

She divided all White House entertaining Into two parts--private and personal hospitality, "the informal and easy-going and formal a i i a hospitality which the country expects of the president's wife. The latter kind, she said, requires "the dignity and formality which puts us on an equal footing socially with any foreign representative or any group or republic." WHAT'S IN A NAME? The ruling of the Federal Trade commission that yellow pine, no matter how much It resembles white pine, cannot be sold as white pine by labeling It "California" white pine, has stirred up the mahogany and walnut associations to ask a similar ruling about "Philippine" mahogany. Without going into the merits ot these matters, either pro or con, on can foresee plenty of trouble if the Federal Trade commission embarks seriously on taking literally all trade names. What, for example, will It do with Oregon pine, which is not pine at all, either white or yellow; Where is the horse chestnut to get It Deems a knotty subject. Still worse, It may be.

It the commission goes into other fields. Shall the truck gardener be barred from the terms "horseradish" and "vegetable oyster?" Shall the fishmonger be forbidden to sell "deep sea scallops." which are not scallops and perhaps are not deep sea, or "chicken halibut," assuredly neither chicken nor halibut? And i of the havoc that could be spread In the fur trade and Jewelry Industry? The thought of It suggests emphatically that the Federal Trade commission better stop right Francisco Chronicle. LIQVOR LAIIORATORIKS These United States are today 4S separate laboratories conducting experiments In social control ot the liquor traffic. Complete prohibition Is the law of only four states--Alabama. Georgia, Kansas and Mississippi.

Nine other states prohibit all alcoholic beverages except beer. Twelve operate monopolies-some wholesale, some retail and some both. Nevada is wide open. In other states, varying degrees of regulation are Imposed, with licenses for manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. The Montana state monopoly licenses drinkers.

Legislatures In nearly ail the Btates are wrestling with proposed revisions in liquor laws. In most of the states, liquor control will bo a live issue In every legislative session for years to come. The national congress can help the states by modifying taxes and tariffs and thereby limiting the profits of Press. A STALLED NKW DEAL The New Deal has stalled. It has stalled for two reasons--one politically and personal, the other economic.

The political reason relates to the Inability of the democratic leaders. In the White House as well as In congress, to control their followers The economic reason la the quiet but determined reluctance on the part of the nation at large to have the administration go ahead i a program that Is not doing what has been claimed for It, A possible answer to the whole disturbing situation Is to forget reform for the time being and to concentrate on recovery.
