"Of course," he said, "it looks as if only the quarterback understood under-stood the signals.-""" -And then , there is Professor Moley, who scores a New Deal touchdown behind their own goalposts. goal-posts. - -But the most spectacular play of all was when Ickea, tackled McNutt just after he had received receiv-ed -a delayed forward . pass." POLITICAL. GO-ROUND I. i - After a three-day stay in the Capital, including a visit' to the White House, canny Alf Landon is telling friends that he is convinced con-vinced Roosevelt will again be the Democratic standard-bearer next year. , . While in Los Angeles, ' Senator H. Styles Bridges said -howdy to a number of big shot Southern California GOP leaders, but the biggest one eluded him. Harry Chandler, multi-millionaire publisher, declined an invitation invita-tion on the ground of a previous engagement which, turned out to be a trustees', meeting at Leland Stanford University- . The presidential bug certainly plays strange tricks. Secretary Harry Woodring. who has been hanging on to his War portfolio by the skin of his teeth, considers himself a contender for the. vice-president- - ial nomination. - t : ; ; IN A DITHER I Chairman Arthur' Altmeyer of the Social Security Board is in a terrible dither. You can appreciate just how nervous he must be by the fact that although he has adamantly opposed, liberalizing pensions in the past, he now is frantically figuring how to increase them. Specifically, by $39,000,000 worth. Last spring, when social security secur-ity revision was under consideration.. consider-ation.. Altmeyer trotted out a batch of amendments which, he snipmrtlv - assured the President, and conirressionaJ leaders, , and Federal Security Administrator Paul McNutt. would pay out sii4 ooo OOO to needv aered in 1940 There was considerable private skepticism --about Altmeyer s claim. But 'he insisted he -knew what he Was talkiner about, so other proposals were ditched and his amendments approved. Now. with only a few weeks re malning before these much-touted " amendments go into-effect, it de- velops that Altmeyefs caicuia- tions were all wet. Instead of $114,000,000, actually not more than $74,000,000 will be paid out. And not all of that will be-pen sions, only $35,000,000 going for that purpose. The remaining y, 000.000 will go to surviving rela tives of deceased annuitants. In other words. Altmeyer's amendments haveturned out to be a complete , flop when it comes to reallv liberalizing the pension system. The payments will be a drop in the bucket comparer to the hundreds of millions of dollars dol-lars that will be siphoned into an idle Treasury fund through social security taxes, y x. ; ; . ALTMEYER -UNDER FHIE . So Altmeyer is in a terrible stew to find some way to cover ud his fiasco. If 'he doesn't it may mean his scalps He already is under heavy Tire, irom several powerful quarters. Pension forces are sour on him because of his hostility to liberal izinsr the pension system. McNutt, critical because of the millions of "John Doe" (unidentifiable) pension pen-sion accounts cluttering up Social Security records, wants to clean out the whole Social Security Board and replace it with one man of his own choice. And, with an election in the - offing, Roosevelt Roose-velt and the poliUcos are sure to be sore when they discover just how badly Altmeyer misled them. NOTE Chairman Bob Dough- ton of the House Ways and Means Committee has ordered Altmeyer to submit a report giving a complete com-plete picture' of the "John Doe" situation and . the Social Security financial set-up. : ; , BRITXSI I-U. S. PLANES - . Latest device of the British, in taking delivery of planes built in the United States, is to tow them across the Canadian border on brages principally at Detroit and Buffalo.- This is how found preferable to the trick of pushing them over the line at the Montana airport located on the border. : . -;'c Both devices have resulted from the U. S. ruling that planes sold to belligerents -may not be flown into or from the United States. So the only way to export them without with-out dismantling is to shove, pull, coast or towthem across, the Canadian Can-adian border. r- , - The Montana airport at first was an easy solution of the problem- Planes could h flnwn th from U. S. plants by U. S. 1)11013, the spot, the Canadians fastening a rope to the plane and pulling it across the border. "Canadian or British pilots climbed aboard and flew the plane away. . But the Montana airport is hi eh and cold, and the weather is bad for flying. So the British are now takinsr delivery of planes at the dockside in Buffalo and Detroit. where the ships are rolled onto barges and towed across to the Canadian side. . ..
