Lossnsport, Second Class Matter. The DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By JUrevr Pearson and Robert S. Allen alike, share the same ideals, the same objectives. But Corcoran is realistic, and tells the "Skipper," as he falls- him, facts which other White House advisers hold back. The two men understand each other perfectly.

There a fteling of affection, almost of father-and- son love between them. "This guy," he says of Roosevelt "has so much on the ball, and every minute of his. time is so valuable to the life of this country, that I figure I'm to be around and' run some at his errands." As long as Roosevelt coutinues the fight, Corcoran will be in the thick cf it. (Copyright, 1937, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) WASHINGTON--During the winter of 1931, Tom Corcoran, now a close adviser to President Roosevelt and one of the most spotlighted men in America, was an obscure young lawyer living in a Brooklyn apartment which overlooked Brooklyn Bridge aud the towering citadels of lower Manhattan. One night, pointing to the lighted windows where charwomen were cleaning up the debris of the bankers and brokers of Wall Street, Corcoran raised h's glass and proposed his toast: "To the day," he said, ''waen we stop them from bleeding th? country!" Corcoran was then 30.

And in the six years which followed, he has come very near the fulfilment of his toast. He helped put through the. Securities Act regulating the sale cf stocks and bonds t.o the public. He helped draft the Stock Exchange Act which attempted to protect the public from the raiders of Wall Street. He was the brains behind tlv: Holding Company Act, is helping to plug the holes in the income tax law.

and tiow is waging a campaign for passage of the Wages and Hours Act. All at which explains why. next to the President himself, he is the man most hated by Big Business and most unpopular with conservative Senators of any man in the Roosevelt Administration. EEA1 HCMAJf BEI5G To anyone who did not know Tom Corcoran, the recitation of his achievements would make him out to be scheming, vindictive radical, bent upon revenge against the interests with which he oncj worked. But he is just the opposite.

He is one of the most charming and delightful individuals in Washington. He has a fund of stories which keeps any dinner patty In an uproar. He can play the piano and the accordion, and sing American folk-songs like a professional. And he has a sense of loyalty to his friends which has won him far more friends than enemies--though he has plenty of the latter, too He has all the loveable emotions of the Irish, and despite his crusade for less profits and more honesty in business, actually he is more enamored of human beings than of principles. He'has gone to the rescue of many a friend who sinned grievously against the things Corcoran Is fighting for.

Once, when upbraided for making such a rescue, he replied. "Yes, they are lice. But dammit, they're mj lice." MAJfY TEACHERS Tom Corcoran was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, of a mother who was 'the daughter of a sea- captain, a very strong-willed woman. Tom goes home to visit her frequently. His father is a small town lawyer, and sometimes comes down to visit his son in the Nation's Capital.

Tom has studied under three remarkable teachers. At Harvard Law School he was a disciple of Felix Frankfurter. After graduation, he became the secretary to Oliver Wendell Holmes, beginning close friendship which lasted until the Justice's death. Simultaneously he also became the friend of Justice Brandeis, for whom he has done a great deal of research. After leaving Holmes, Corcoran joined the law firm of Cotton and Franklin, where he worked with Joseph P.

Cotton, later Under Secretary of State, and got to know all the.tricks of Wall Street. When ehided on his past as a Well Street lawyer, Corcoran replies: "Of course. Where did you think I got wise to the stock market--at a tea party?" WORKED FOB HOOYEK It was not the Sew Deal bat Eugene Meyer, then RFC chairman, who first brought Tom to Wcshing- ton. During the first year or so of the Administration he was the RFC's key man in reorganizing banks and putting across a hundred and one jobs similar to what he is doing today, but which no one then ever heard about. One thing he accomplished was getting RFC monej for the school teachers of Chicago, whose pay was months overdue.

It was a praiseworthy job, and he managed it very guietly. Today, the mention of Corcoran's name in connection with the transaction would bring forth a storm both of praise and criticism. TOO 3IUCH LIJTELIGHT This illustrates what every White House Brain Truster is up against, and the more effective he is, the more he is up against it. The minute he gets into the limelight, he gets pulled to pieces. Some White House advisers, as lor instance Moley, crave the limelight, get pulled to pieces more quickly.

Some, like Tugwell, can't avoid the limelight, eventually retire. Tom Corcoran has a "passion for anonymity." In fact, he is the man who devised that phrase, once used by the President in describing the quality of a good White House secretary. Keeping In the Background to him has become almost a religion. He has a disorderly little "offce. in a corner of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and although he devotes all his time to the White House, he lolds no rank or official position.

'The others all went after the epaulets," says Corcoran, referring to the more spectacular Brain Trusters. "But since I have no epaulets, they can't take them away from me." This is true, even today, when Corcoran has lost his anonymity-despite his passion lor it--and became a "very much lime-lighted young man. LTISH JOB OFFERS There has been a vigorous drive to oust Corcoran recently. This has come from two sources. One source has attempted to coax rather than oust him.

For, recognizing the skill with which Corocran handled the holding corporation fight, one law firm offered him and his associate, Ben Cohen, a i i retainer of $100,000 annually. He also has been given the t'irndowr, of the general financial and legal work for newspaper properties at a salary which he could more or less name himself. The source of the other drive against Corcoran has come from his enemies on Capitol Hill--the Bnrt Wheelers, the reactionary Democrats, the Liberty Leaguers, who realize that Tom is Ihe brains and the right arm of the President in more of his important fights in Congress. It they can oust him, they know that a part of their battle against Roosevelt is won, and so they have used the weapon which Corcoran hates most--publicity, mixed, incidentally, with a lot of duplicity. SO RETIREMENT But Jt will be a long time before they oust Tom Corcoran--if ever.

He is the last man left around the White House who does not engage in a chorus of "yeses" to. the President, and Roosevelt appreciates it. Corcoran and Roosevelt think CULPRIT ogansport In The Past BELIEVE IT OR NOT" By I BJEQISTEBJBP P. S. PATENT OFFICE' GEORGE.

He suffered a serious concussion of the brain from the blow.

A bronze statue of Councilman D. W. Tomllnson has been placed in the center of Riverside park. The erection of a statue of the gentleman from the Fourth ward was an appropriate recognition of his valuable services in so persistently recommending the establishment of a city park.

One specialist finally persuaded him to accompany him on a trip to Baltimore. Sullivan boarded the train, held to' his seat, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and was soon rolling across the green, countryside--and grinning sheepishly. He had crossed the mental Rubicon. Two days later, just for the heck of it, he took a sleeper to St. Louis.

One of his friends' tipped off a fellow wag and, upon leaving his St. Louis hotel, Sullivan found his suitcase criss-crossed with flamboyant labels from hotels in Cairo, Shanghai, Singapore, Bombay and where not. we sat out front on the steps and often a hurdy-gurdy came along for a serenade in the night.

And not many from out yonder ever hurdle that reflex. Due to the.

nature of my chore I receive telegrams daily. And for years I was a telegraph editor where wire 'queries poured in. But a telegram Is still bad tidings. I hesitate before opening, then devour the contents with a peep and gulp. I'm benumbed by those executives whose secretaries hand them telegrams.

And who push them aside carelessly. I want to shriek: "For Pete's sake, open them!" Among dinner guests.were three nippers who had seen London the first time this summer. And it started oldsters recalling what most mpressed them on first visit. lave the worthless mind that reams unessentlals. The Tower of the crown jewels, Buckingham palace and the lions in Trafalgar Square leave me cold.

My first impressions were, instead, of Kittle and Collie at the-Savoy and their Cockney chit-chat. The barmaids I ever saw. Then bonneted ladies selling Scotch leather at the entrance of those scrubby alleys off the Strand. And pubs in Houndsitch where cabbies sip ale and gossip. Finally a close up of home going crowds crossing London Bridge while Big Ben chimed.

My first vivid impression of New York was a hansom viewed from a swaying avenue bus top up whose steps I spiraled to ride from the station to a boarding house on West 72d street. The red-wheeled hansom, ashlne even to this day of decadence, glittered In the morning sun and the venerable jarvey patent leather cockaded hat was ust as I had seen pictured in Leslie's magazine. His fare was juxom blonde who suggested Marie ahill, a musical comedy favorite of that day. It probably wasn't Miss Cahill for it was 9 a. m.

aud Mrs. Robert Radkey was born at 931 Twenty-first street, where her parents still reside. She and her sisters were graduated from St. Joseph's commercial school. They are: Mrs.

Edith Oohl and Mrs. Marie Edwards of East Broadway and Mrs. Alice Jacot of Biddle's Island. Catherine married Glen DePoy of Niles, who formerly resided in Logansport with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Harry DePoy who have moved to Mishawaka. Shortly after their wedding was solemnized here the couple located In Niles, and during residency there five daughters were born. They are: Gladys, Eloise, Anita Ruth, Glenna and Marilyn, all at home. The family attends St. Mary's church.

Mr. DePoy operates a service station in Niles. The brownstone boarding house to which we journeyed was called "Mrs. McFadden's." And I wish there were such places today. We roosted in an attic sky-lit room but McFadden's had a.

manner--the fairly successful along with a few taking the down grade with an air. Some dressed for dinner in the basement dining room. And It was grand boarding.
