The MARCH OF TIME REG. D. S. PAT. OFF. Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine N AND JOBS— WASHINGTON — Still forego discussion of all but the most pressing of his second-term polls, President Roosevelt last week led a new patronage problem, new generation of deserving candidates for whom he cannot provide jobs by the simple process of ousting Hoover republicans in 1932, and his own commitment to reorganize the government with a consequent reduction in the number of jobs. Shaking head lugubriously about the chances of getting a government organization bill through congress, Speaker Bankhead, after being the President, declared: "Every member of the cabinet and every bureau chief will bring pressure to bear on their friends Congress." Meanwhile, although Secretary Stephen Early said that hardly any cabinet members wanted to sign or would, many of the government's ablest young lawyers and executives who do the real work in Washington were being forced back into private business. Allen has Franklin Roosevelt urged business to hire more men; little did he foresee that business would hire not from relief bills but from the government's payrolls. For business, which could spare them during depression, now wants them back, because they are able and know the New Deal hopes. Tempted by more money, red of paying for long distance telephone calls and government-business trips out of their ownockets (because the Colmptroller would not approve them). door with plans fixed to seize daytime sleeper Brunette one afternoon last week. When the two city detectives went out for coffee at 1:15 a.m. on the appointed day, Chief John Edgar Hoover suddenly appeared with 10 G-men, rapped on Brunette's door, got a splatter of bullets for answer. For an hour they pumped revolver, rifle and submachine-gun bullets, tossed tear gas bombs into the apartment. When its venetian blinds ignited firemen came, were caught in the cross fire. Shot in the thigh, Brunette's wife staggered out of the apartment and Brunette, his pistols empty, soon followed. That afternoon hard-boiled, up-from-the-ranks New York Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine charged that G-Man Hoover had broken his agreement with New York City's police department and, purely to make headlines and grab all the credit, had endangered the lives of bystanders and firemen by his unnecessary gunplay. Denying any agreement and asserting that New York detectives had been omitted only because they left their posts for coffee, Chief Hoover snorted: "Kindergarten stuff!" When G-men disclosed that the only person who had fired from the street during the fracas was young Sixth Deputy Police Commissioner Byrnes MacDonald, 27, Commissioner Valentine said nothing further. As Kidnapper Brunette pleaded guilty to "everything in the record," was hustled off to the Lewisburg, Pa., federal penitentiary for life. Chief Hoover named gled business to hire more men tried did he foresee that busissess would hire not from relief calls but from the government's payrolls. For business, which could care them during depression, now ants them back, because they are able and know the New Deal opes. Tempted by more money, red of paying for long distance telephone calls and governmentbusiness trips out of their own ockets (because the Colmptroller general would not approve them), aggruntled because political deadads were in the posts above aem, or believing that New Deal excitement had ended and that adventure was petering out, many young official getting $6,000 to 3,000 a year had by last week other left the government or lanned to do so soon. But President Roosevelt solved is most pressing and personal employment problem last week by picking as successor to personal Bodyguard Gus Gennerich 2-year-old Boston Irishman thomas Joseph Qualters who, friends say, is as much at ease addressing a women's club on highway safety as sparring with a friend in barracks. Though his muttes-will be solely to the President's person, 185lb. Bodyguard Qualters will, like Gennerich, be worn into the secret service, asigned to the White House detail. That Bachelor Qualters may not long give the President the same single-minded devotion Bachelor Gennerich did, however, was last week intimated when Bodyguard Qualters' father declared: "He's single, but he doesn't intend to remain so. They're not engaged, but he has a girl all right." INTEGRITY— HELSINKI, Finland—As Finns flocked to the movies to cheer wildly a picture of the life of their masterful, benevolent President Pehr Evind Svinhufvud, screened in celebration of his 75th birthday, into the federal reserve bank in Manhattan last week went $231,315.50, the last installment on Finland's war debt to the United States. Finland's unique integrity was lately responsible for Karl Kojander, a hungry Finn who lives in Brooklyn, being put on relief. Declared the judge: "We aren't going to permit a Finn to starve when Finland is the one country GOLD— FORT KNOX, Kentucky — At some early, secret date, with 152 soldiers aboard and thousands more strung along the route, the first of some 50 armored special trains will begin moving 192,000,-000 oz. of government gold worth $6,000,000,000 from New York, Philadelphia and other vaults to the great new fortress-vault at Fort Knox, Ky. Ordinary railroad charge for such a haul would be some $20,000, but the treasury will take advantage of government mail contracts, send its gold by registered parcel post. At the standard rate of 10¢ per oz., the postage bill to a private sender would be $19,200,000. Generous Postmaster General Farley is expected to charge Secretary Morgenau only about $100,000. G. O. POST-MORTEM— CHICAGO—Meeting in Chicago's Palmer House last week, front-ranking republican national committeemen listened as speakers renewed allegiance to liberty, the constitution, and the American way of life in a post-mortem on republican activities in this fall's political campaign. Soon, solidly backed by his vice-chairmen (Connecticut's longtime Boss John Henry Roraback, Oregon's Ralph E. Williams, rich and buxom Mrs. Worthington Scranton of Pennsylvania and Mrs. John E. Hillman of Colorado), Chairman John D. M. Hamilton uprose to remark: "I have no particular defense to make of the last campaign. There were lots of errors, but I said at the start there would be." The 74-to-2 vote of confidence given Chairman Hamilton by the committee could be interpreted in either or both of two ways: As a vote of confidence in John Hamilton, or as proof that no one else wanted his job, which is not merely to recognize a shattered party but also, as Treasurer Charles B. ("Barney") Goodspeed explained, to wipe out a campaign deficit of $901,561.61. With early and frequent money-and-morale-raising swings around the country planned, Chairman Hamilton will make his headquarters in Washington, will get for his full-time services $15,000 a year, plus $10,000 for "base expenses." Cracked Insurgent Republican William Edgar Borah: "That, as I understand it, is the customary salary of receivers." INVENTIONS— ROCHESTER, New York—Rochester Patent Attorney Gehard A.

Declared the judge: "We aren't going to permit a Finn to starve when Finland is the one country to pay its war debt." Among the countries who defaulted on their installments last week were: Great Britain (who owes $5,029,163,000), France ($4,-061,234,000), Italy ($2,015,533,-000), Poland ($241,097,000). CATCH AND CREDIT— NEW YORK—Trooper William A. Turnbull of New Jersey's state police last month stopped a speeding sedan, was kidnapped by its occupants, stripped, bound and dumped out 50 miles away in Pennsylvania with his wrists and lips taped, later identified his abductors as midwestern bank robbers Harry Brunette and Merle Vandenbush. Because they had carried him across state lines, breaking the "Lindbergh Law," the federal bureau of investigation was notified. Then, three weeks ago, when New Jersey troopers reported at a Manhattan police station that a repair bill from a near-by garage had been found in the kidnappers' abandoned automobile, police promptly called local G-men, offered to cooperate with them on the case. Soon discovering that Brunette's wife occupied a ground-floor apartment in uptown Manhattan, two New York detectives, one New Jersey trooper and one G-man were planted in the same house and in the building next... ANAHEIM GAZETTE SHOES TO FILL! Kung with threats that Japan "demanded" no terms be made with Kidnapper Chang of a nature unfavorable to the Japanese. However, since Chang's broadcast was clearly a clarion call to 450,000,000 Chinese to rise against 84,000,000 Japanese, and since most Chinese favored it, Japan was last week actually frightened lest Soviet air squadrons from Vladivostok appear suddenly to bomb Tokyo with no preliminary declaration of war. SINGING MOUSE— CHICAGO — Convinced there was a canary loose somewhere in the building because they had heard it chirp and trill, inmates of the Chicago Industrial Home for Children at Woodstock were amazed and delighted last week when the school manager captured the source of the piping—a small, greyish-brown mouse. Promptly named Mickey, the singing mouse became the neighborhood wonder. Newspapermen came for the audition, but when Assistant Director Robert Bean of the Chicago Zoological park called, it failed to perform. Nonetheless Director Bean, who had heard of singing mice before, offered $150 for "Mickey"—re-named "Minnie" after examination by Zooman Bean, University of Chicago's Dr. Maud Slye, famed cancer experimenter, declared: "I have had 160,000 mice and I never had one that sang. If there is a singing mouse, I am open to conviction." For Dr. Slye and other incredulous folk, Minnie was brought one night to NBC's Chicago studios, announced as "the phenomenon of the century... the only mouse in the world who actually sings," carried in a cage to the microphone by the Industria School's Manager Oscar Alva All- Scranton of Penn.-Mrs. John E.

DICTATOR KIDNAPPED— NANKING—Taken at an undressed disadvantage in Siam's famed curative mineral baths by young Chinese Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang and his men, China's Chiang Kal-shek, who has welded his lethargic people into a strong, modern, militarized nation intent upon defeating the encroaching Japanese at some time in the future, was last week kidnapped and held while the Nanking (Central) government fumed at upstart Chang's demands; broadcast by radio: "... China should consider an immediate anti-Japanese military expedition her only task at present ... We want to fight ... We must realize that union with Russia is the only course left in the sphere of international cooperation ... In order to consolidate our strength we must unite all patriotic forces and public bodies in a common struggle against Japanese imperialism.

Steel is Employing More Than in 1929 Nearly 5,000 employees were added to the payrolls of the steel industry during October, bringing current employment to $31,400—more than 15 per cent above the 1929 level, the American Iron and Steel institute reported. Payrolls of the industry in October totalled $71,110,000—almost $1,000,000 above the average monthly payrolls in '29, and nearly $20,000,000 more than was paid out in October of last year. Hourly earnings of wage earners during the month averaged 66.3 cents. It is expected that the wage increase which went into effect generally throughout the industry on November 16 will raise the average hourly earnings to about 73 cents. 1932 University of Michigan's Zoologist Lee R Dice suggested that all mice may sing — on a pitch too high for the human ear unless the mouse has unusual vocal equipment. (In other words, Minnie was a basso mouse). Dr. Dice last spring reported the mouse's superiority to the canary as a musical pet, observed: "The musical mouse can be heard only 25 feet, so that the song is less irritating to the nerves and can be escaped easily by moving out of range."

College Students Show Interest in Government Study A rapidly increasing interest among young people in the problems of government which is heralded as a healthy sign for the future of the country, is revealed in a survey of enrollment at Harvard university. Nearly 40 per cent of Harvard's upper classmen this fall are majoring in the study of history, government or economics, records of the dean's office reveal. Student attraction to these fields has increased steadily and rapidly in recent years, starting with an enrollment of 32 per cent in 1932, statistics show. Mainly responsible for placing the social sciences so far in the lead in the interest of the students is a surge of popularity since 1932 for studies relating to government. In that year government claimed the attention of only six per cent of the student body; this fall, following regularly mounting gains, the proportion is above 12 per cent. This increasing interest in government has been hailed by many as a most encouraging factor in the economic life of the country.
