Congress Thinks It Over When budget estimates were" presented to Congress by the President, only one billion dollars was set aside for the WPA program for the ensuing fiscal year. The President admitted the figure was tentative and that a lot depended on the way things "shaped up." There is little question now that they haven't shaped up as well as it was hoped they would.; And Roosevelt has indicated in-dicated that from here on he will let . Congress handle the affair with his best wishes. If the one billion dollar appropriation ap-propriation is allowed to stand, work relief rolls will either have to be clipped by 25 per cent, cutting WPA rolls from 2,000,000 workers to 1,500,000 in July, or Congress will have to pass, a deficiency bill early next session. ! While Congress might' decree that WPA rolls be reduced re-duced by one-quarter and get away with it, the difficulty is that someone else will have to kick in to take care of the people thus displaced. It is a discomforting fact that business busi-ness conditions have not improved so considerably that the WPA program can be chipped down with impunity. Foremost in the hordes clamoring for retention of current WPA levels are the mayors. If people are thrown off, WPA, they will fall right in the laps of local taxpayers. The principal source of revenue for most municipalities municipali-ties has been theproperty tax. In many instances, local relief re-lief expenditures could be provided for only by levying special assessments against taxpayers who were already carrying most of the burden for their community. For that matter, neither do congressmen relish the idea of fattening the federal budget by another half billion dollars. dol-lars. Already their promises of economy have gone haywire. But the more they spend, the more explaining they will have to do from the stump when their constituents ask em- It's a choice Congress will to decide whether the costs arp to be borne by the nation communities affected. Windfall You know that feeling: you've gotten an old vest out of the closet to wear in doing a little work in the garden, and you find a $5 bill in the pocket. It's a lovely feeling. Boston has it today. It came unexpectedly on a little windfall of $8,000,000. ' A squad of WPA workers have been making a four-year four-year search of old wills. And they unearthed $8,000,000 originally bequeathed to public charities, but which through neglect or oversight were never paid. Trustees are now being made to pay up, and in many cases the benefactions will' be helpful in holding down Any community which suspects that its old probate court vests contain forgotten caches of this kind had better set a squad to rummaging through its municipal closets. Merry-Go-Rpund Forecast 3rd Term Strategy Almost hree Years Ago As the political tampalgn progresses, pro-gresses, it becomes increasingly clear that President Roosevelt is not going to declare " himself on the third-term issue until the Very last moment (See today's Washington Wash-ington Merry-Go-Round j column.) It ' is a remarkable tribute to the reportorial acumen' of Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen that their Washington Merry-Go-Round column revealed this to be the President's . strategy nearly three years ago, on July 16, 1937. So far as we can determine, this was the first story to appear anywhere any-where stating that Roosevelt would not declare himself one way or the other until late in 1940, and explaining why.s In view of all the third-term speculation that has filled-columns of space since then, it is astonishing to look back on these words written less than six months after Roosevelt's second inauguration: "A lot of people ' have been puzzled by Roosevelt's recent failure fail-ure to deny third term rumors, especially when he told a news Borrow cash to pay your bills. Than nova LESS to pay each month, and more LETT OVER for living expanses. No co-makers. No indiscreet inquiries. Quick, quiet, friendly aonrice. Come in. Harald Corporation, Booth have to make. It will have' of sustaining 500,000 persons as a whole or by the separate paperman asking this question to 'put on : the dunce cap and go stand in the corner.' Many are wondering why, since he originally original-ly renounced third term intentions, he doesn't allay any uncertainty by repeating the denial. "To . close advisers, Roosevelt has given an explanation for this position. He says that he wants to profit by the mistake of Teddy Rooseveltj who kept repeating that he had no intention of running run-ning again, and as a result lost influence with the Republican leaders..' "Franklin Roosevelt intends that his ; influence in the Democratic Demo-cratic party shaU continue to be a , real and vital factor until . the end of 1940. Also he intends to have an important part in the selection of his successor. Therefor, There-for, while he definitely does not Intend to run for a third term, he does- not' intend to be harping on that point constantly.'

The . department is divided on America's war policy. One group wants America to stay out, to work impartially for peace and to maintain genuine neutrality; the other is strongly pro-ally and holds America would serve its best interests by using "measures short of war" to help beat Germany. Ger-many. Leading figure in the first group is Welles; in the second, George, S. Messersmith, who was assistant secretary .of state until his recent appointment as ambassador ambas-sador to Cuba. Watch Mesne rsmlth - Climax in the conflict of ideas came ' around the beginning of the year. The Welles group sold the idea of a peace mission to the President. Messersmith went into eclipse,, the' Cuban appointment being distinctly on the order of an assignment to Siberia. Two ambassadorships were vacant va-cant at the time: Cuba, and Bel-glum. Bel-glum. Messersmith preferred Belgium Bel-gium .and didn't want Cuba at all; wasn't, in fact, by past experience, ex-perience, - particularly ; fitted for any Latin-American post. The Cuban nomination was an obvious triumph for the Welles group; Messersmith debated . refusing to accept, finally took it on the theory that there'd be another day, etc. He may prove to be quite correct cor-rect F. D. R. leans strongly to Messersmith's point of view; in some quarters the whole Welles mission' is looked on as merely a temporary concession by the President Pres-ident designed to pacify the peace bloc and to give the department s strict-neutrality crowd a chance to show what it could do.

Why All the Peace Sentiment? , Sudden emergence of peace sentiment sen-timent in England isn't surprising to , those , in Washington who have kept in close touch. They say, that from the ; moment the war started a considerable part of British opinion favored a speedy peace; they doubt, sentiment is much stronger now than in September, Sep-tember, but say it is simply . coming com-ing out in the open. . Why it should be coming but is the puzzler. - After "all, there's a strict censorship on, and lots of war-time controls. Is the British government , letting the populace blow, off a little steam, as the grimness of the allied prospect becomes more evident, or is it letting let-ting the peace sentiment, become public knowledge for reasons still undisclosed ? Sudden Death For Plane Sale Hearing The "investigation" which -the House military affairs committee made of the airplane sale situation ended a' : lot more abruptly - than some of the committtee members ever thought it was going to. .

Duffy Kelso opened one eye and squinted at the big seaman sea-man bellowing into the crew's quarters. Duffy shuddered.
