But the more the people in this town look at it the more convinced they are that this administration is going to be a "progressive" administration. You can go down the list if you insist, and say this one is a conservative and that one a liberal. But if you consider each member in relation to the immediate demands of his particular job and the circumstances of his appointment and then compare him with his predecessors, you begin to suspect that youre justified in bunching all the important ones in the liberal group. HI LL IS NOT DOMINATED What, for Instance, do they say here about Cordell Hull, the new secretary of state? Well, the thing you hear oftenest about Hull is that he is the first secretary of state in a long time who isn dominated by Wall Street. The word dominated" is used rather loosely in Washington and one doesnt desire to cast any paron Charles ticular reflection Evans Hughes, Frank B. I ellrgg or Henry L. Stimson. But when you recai Hughes brilliant championship of American oil companies ir the lists of diplomacy, Kelloggs solicitude for the oil men and the bankers and Stimsons helpful service with ren loans you gard to realize what the gossips mean. INTRODUCED INCOME TAX It is also to be recalled that Hull fathered the income tax and the estate tax. which Socialists and progressives had urged for many years, that he lined up with Democratic progressives to bring about Roosevelt's nomination and that his liberal slant on the tariff and other international problems had much to do with his appointment. The fact that Hull may believe in "sound money" and look askance at some radical proposals, considering the nature of his job, hardly stamps him as a conservative" cabinet member. The other cabinet member commonly regarded as conservative is William H. Woodin, secretary of the treasury. W GODINS MUSIC WORRIES SOME Washington doesn't know milch about Woodin yet, so it just gness-e- s about him. Violent conflict of opinion rages between those who think the fact Woodin composes music indicates that he will be a big flop and those who think it indicates he will be a big success. The one best bet about Woodin now is that he will be as conservative or as radical as Roosevelt wants him to be and Roosevelt so far has been shaping un as a liberal. What goes for Woodin in that respect also goes for Post master General James A Farley, who certainly was able to talk the language of the old Wilsonian liberals when he went out to round up convention delegates for Roosevelt. sives anil was one of the McAdoo leaders in the days when McAdoo was a sort of a progressive white hope. Whether Roper is as liberal us ho used to be probably doesn't make much difference. Nor do many straight-thinkin- g liberals worry about the leanings of Secretary of War Dern and Secretary of the Navy Swanson, whose job it is to maintain effective fighting machines. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes have all demonstrated trends of mind diametrically opposed to the beliefs of the really conservative Demod social-econom- ic MIAMI, Fla,. March 6 (IIP) Anton J. Cerrnak, Tony from coal mines who rose to be mayor of the natiiris second city died today from the effects of a bullet fired by an assassin who hoped to strike down Franklin Roosevelt. The heroic, 19 day battle of the fighting mayor came to a quiet end at 6:55 a. m. All through the night, Cermak had been sinking slowly, Physicians, friends and family alike recognized that another of the amazing rallies with which he has surhim before prised those around could not be hoped for this time. Pneumonia had set in to complicate the colitis and heavy heart drains resulting from the bullet which cut through his abdomen, touched his lung and liver and lodged in his spine. A specially impanelled grand jury was summoned to meet today to indict Giuseppi Zangara, Cermoks assassin, for first degree murder. He is under sentence of 80 years already on four counts of assault with intent to murder, to which he pleaded guilty. Now he is liable to the death penalty. Zangara has shown no interest in his fate, and he was expected to refuse to aid the attorney whom the court will appoint to defend him. Mayor Cermak s death was announced by Edward C. Kelley, head ot the South Park board of Chicago, who had been waiting through the night near his friend and chief. The mayors last night was typical of the grim tenacity which characterized his career. 4-- H CLUB LEADER PRAISES WORK No other state In the union is making more progress in club work than Utah. said Miss Gertrude L.
