A subordinate set the flyer down for 10 dayt but vldal, a good friend of the flyer's, lightened the penalty to a 125 fine. FiOHTINO At the outset of the new deal Secretary of Commerce Roper was beset by the backers of three candldatee tor the job of running commercial aviation.

Colonel Cone It said to be the candidate of the practical politicians for Vldel'i job. Rumors are circulating that As tlsttnt Secrettry of Commerce Ewlng Mitchell, directly in charge of the air commerce bureau, would just as soon see Cone in the saddle. Meanwhile Vidal't friends have taken cognizance of the situation and are fighting bsck through underground channels. TREASON The cry over waste of tixpiyer1! money ia ages old bur every to often a tltuation crops up that merits particular attention, even though the amount Involved be comparatively email.

Consider the case of the red-hot republican whose home town ia next door to President Roosevelt's Hyde Park residence, but who spends his winters In Florida, The authorities of a popular Florida resort city have been pull ing every wire to extradite this man from New Tork for trial on the grave charge of threatening the life of the president of the United States. Three witnesses have been tent from Florida to New York State to twear to the utterance of the threat All had their expenses paid of course, as did the Florida legal representative.

Members of the code authority for the business were Intensely annoyed to find thit ttttral dealers had flagrantly violated the code In marketing the recent Pennsyl-vsnla and Baltimore Ohio issue.

The violations were of a nature the public wouldn't notice but the Informed call them old-fashioned chiselling. Borne of the offenders are scheduled to be rant Into outer darkness. This evidence of self-discipline will be widely and forcefully announced. The Investment firms slm to, show they cm cletn their own bouse it effectively at the PEC or tny other tgtncy could do It for thtm. FRICTION About two hundred binkt ara membert of the Investment bankers' association and they don't like the way things are working out at alt The code abolished their long-held privileged status at tecurlty buyers.

Bank as such used to rste special concessions on a hew issue- even when they were buying only for their own account Now they're on the lime footing at any other buyer unless tbey part lei- ptte In tha underwriting The tltuation hit ctuted plenty of friction between banks tnd deilert. ttrenuoue private complaints by the banks have fillen on deaf esrs. BONDS Well-posted New-York ere ssy the recent decline in the bond market is nothing to lose sleep about Tbey describe it at due to a dealers' panic. Dealers have been dumping everything oft their shelves that showed the slightest signs of stickiness but the publlo hasn't caught the con- tagion. At long as that's true there'l no causs for agitation.

The only real barm the slump his done hs been to blackjack plant for new financing. Recently there were tbout 100 callable is tuet on the New York stock and curb exchmies telling ibove their redemption price and many cor poratlont were talking happily about new bonds at lower Interest. But now they'll have to wait until buyers recover trom their current attack of nervee. HOU5INO New York it more hopeful about the housing program especially in Its modernization tspectt than any other depret Hon remedy the administration -has irled to Flmnclal circles are confident it will work if the public it successfully told on doing itt there. The bankt are sincerely ready to cooperate now It's been made clear that 20 per cent of all tuch loans they make will be Insured by the government but the proposition Is more interesting proportionately to tmtll bankt than to Urge.

The big fellows doubt thit mtny of their customer! will ipply for fundi to paint the root or install as new bathtub. The informed don't think heivy induttry will profit to the extent expected but 'believe the direct labor galm will be marked. A leading Wall ttreeter not over-friendly to the new deal remarket "At least it won't do any harm If It flops. That givee It aa edge on most of Wahington't ideas." INFLATION Financial observers rate it no mere whim that aet the 'price of nationalized silver at 60.01 cent Instead ot a flat fifty. They dope It that the president deliberately raised the ante above the figure specified In the tilver act in order to establish his power to handle the metal as he sees fit without further congress I a 1 sanction.

They expect FDR to pull other silver rabbits out of hit sleeve whenever the inflation pressure get too hot- But they doubt tbst be can duck further devaluation indefinitely snd many New Yorkers count the 10-cent dollar a certainty. That maket thlngt tough for tome of Wall itreet't timid patriots. They have a feeling they ought to tend tome of their capital abroid but tbey can't quite convince themselves that any other country It tafer than the U. 8. A.

doors open, gates click, men peck their wives and race swiftly for over-patsen-gered 1.05's. A few watch their men taks of f- suspiciously but the majority, romantically. When dusk gathers they come marching home again In wavee, Llghta beam In windows and heads peep anxiously through curtains. Chiefly behind the doors ot the box-like homes are dramaa of contentment. But now and then the flash of tragedy with the grim query: "John, who Is Madge?

Ws saw, In brief, enough sights lo make tha heart sick, snd ws ssw enough of them to Isst us a long, long time. If that Is sll the hope that ortho-doi economfce holds out that such things must be endured Indefinitely, without any attempt to alleviate them It is bardly surprising that ordinary folk are beginning to feel that they went something' a little less orthodox and little more humane. POLITICAL JOBS Thera ara msny ressons why people seek public office.

Tha poor est of all ressons, probably, Is simply that the csndidsta needs a Job any Job at all snd bopea to get ens on the public payroll, all other expedients hiring failed. That is why elections held In a time of depression ara peculiar affaire. In thecurrent primaries, according to a I'nlted Press tabulation, more than 100,000 American eltlzentjnorpublle office. In Indiana, for Instance, mora than 11,000 peopla declared their eagerness to get on'the public payroll. In Montana one cltiien of every tan wae a candidate for something or oth'er.

It will bardly be surprising it tba tall elections present ns with some public, servants who biye no quail fications whatever for their lobs. A public office-holder, even in a democracy, must have some recom mendatlon aside from the fact that he neetle work.
