23-Absent in the flesh as he celebrates his 70th birthday in far-off Uvalde. Texas. (Nov. 22), Vice President John Nance Garner is nevertheless very much of a presence in Washington. The taciturn Garner, who has not made a formal public, speech since taking office is a force in the administration not to be measured by words.

How active he may prove to be as a contender for the presidential nomination in 1940 is open to conjecture. But there is no doubt that he commands a segment of the democratic party, and that he may have as much to say about who is nominated as he did in 1932. the year he switched his delegates to give Roosevelt the nomination. The 70 years to which John Garner looks back have marked a career closely tied to home soil and home things. The old board shack with tar-paper roof in he set up housekeeping which, married Mariette Rheiner 43 years ago, still stands on his estate.

"Fair Oaks." Garner is never happier than among the people he knew when he was young and Texas was almost frontier country. FRAIL AS YOUTH The rugged and ruddy John Garner of the 70th birthday belies the rather frail youth who was born in mud-chinked log cabin near Clarksville. Nov. 22. 1868.

Working farm chores and walking to school, clerking in A general store at 16. failed to develop a strong physique. By the time he had saved enough to enter Vanderbilt university to study law, a doctor predicted "That boy won't live to use an education if he gets it." Frail health continued until he had patched together a lawyer's education at college and by reading with lawyers. For reasons of health as well of opportunity he moved to Uvalde, began practice in 1890. The frontier lawyer of that day had to be a cautious and shrewd business man as well.

Garner was. In less than five years he was prosperous, a leading citizen as lawyer, rancher, trader, and editor of a local paper. They tell a story in Uvalde that Garner was opposed in his first campaign for public office, 03 by the lady who was judgeship. his wife and secretary. The team has been consistently successful.

In 1898 the young judge was chosen for the legislature. When large-scale business came to Texas, Garner was one of those who sought government control of it in the interest of general welfare. But always conservatively, always advocating the middle way and the compromise, rather than the extremes. He was: in and G. A.

Officials said present computations indicated a total net indebtedness by Oklahoma to the government of $1.597.765 for old assistance and aid to the blind and dependent children. Chairman Arthur J.
