Perfume by Chemistry Lishts of NewYork mals in a high frequency eletri fleld is due to the heat effects. by L. L STEVENSON LWCE TWO WASHINGTON. The most important impor-tant news story in Washington and throughout the Relief country now is the Politics use of relief funds for political purposes. pur-poses. It is not only the most important im-portant news at this time, but has been the most important and will continue to be the most important for weeks to come. This is so because be-cause the amount of money involved is vast and the number of votes possible to be influenced by that money is so great. The stakes are high and the unscrupulous are going go-ing to play for them to the limit of their . capacity. I think that perhaps per-haps the corruption of the Harding administration with its shameful oil scandal was more sensational, but surely no one condones the present situation any more than the scandals scan-dals of the earlier malfeasance of office holders. In the Harding oil affair, there was perhaps 5 per cent as much money involved. Few, if any, votes of private citizens were at stake; certainly, no votes of persons who through no fault of their own found themselves destitute. It was the late Thomas Walsh, Montana Democratic senator, who conducted the earnest fight to purge the country of the crooks at that time. And now that the senate again has taken notice of the conditions, one cannot help but wonder whether there will be the same high-type of statesmanship displayed, the same courage shown by some Republican or Democratic senator. For the sake of the country, I hope that no stone will be left unturned by the senate investigation which, though ordered belatedly and after an irritable irri-table reaction from the country, nevertheless " was ordered by the senate. The senate deserves no credit for having moved to expose the condition condi-tion which Senator Wheeler of Montana Mon-tana described as "playing politics with human misery." It had three chances to show its courage and its statesmanship before it would take hold of what many recognized as a political firebrand. It ran from those opportunities in the most cowardly fashion, under the lash of New Deal leaders in the senate. On three occasions, I repeat, the senate had a chance to assert control over the $5,000,000,000 borrowing-spfnding-lending bill and prevent, to some extent, the further use of taxpayers' money for electioneering purposes. And, I repeat, each time the vote was against inclusion of preventative preventa-tive clauses in that appropriation measure. So, none can say the credit should go to the senate even though now it promises to uncover facts which anyone, with an eye half open, knows exist. There can be no credit to the administration ad-ministration because President Roosevelt spoke not a word in be half of use of funds for relief and for the removal of politics. Indeed, he praised his relief administrator, Harry Hopkins, for publicly backing Representative Wearin, the New Deal candidate for the senate nomination nomi-nation in Iowa. Mr. Wearin was well licked by Senator Gillette, an old line Democrat. Nor did the President Pres-ident tell the senate publicly that he favored a curb on the use of the money. Quite the contrary. Whether Wheth-er the President urged them to do so or not, his board of strategy (the new name for the brain trust) put the steam on and made enough senators sen-ators vote against the amendments to curb politics to insure defeat. They even forced Senator Barkley of Kentucky to take the floor in favor fa-vor of the use of money in any way the relief overseers want to use it and Senator Barkley is seeking re-nomination re-nomination in his native Kentucky. So, no credit for the move to draw back the curtain can possibly be given to the White House or any of the President's advisors or strate gists. No credit for bringing the situa tion to the attention of the country can go to the Dodged house of repre-in repre-in House sentatives. It did not even consider any restrictions on the use of the money when the bill was up for passage there. The leadership in the house is controlled by Mr, Roosevelt, but even then it was sur prising to see such upstanding, square-shooting men like Speaker Bankhead and Majority Leader Ray-burn Ray-burn of Texas sidle around the hot spot. Sam Rayburn is one of the really splendid men in the house of representatives, but he dodged on this thing and it is not com mendable. Then, where must credit be giv en? Why did the senate finally take the bit in its teeth and set machin ery in motion for putting out the fire before adjournment? The answer is that the people "back home," and that means largely in smaller towns and in the country, finally caught up with the fact that they are being victimized. They let their feelings beco:rie known, and with them nearly near-ly every newspaper in the country criticized the senate until the sen atorial ears must have burned to a crisp. Anyway, it brought action and for that the country ought to be thankful. It might be well to review the senate sen-ate action when it ran away from an honest job on the relief appropriation. appropri-ation. First, there was the amendment amend-ment by Senator Hatch, Democrat, New Mexico, which was to prevent use of relief funds for political purposes pur-poses by the simple expedient of dismissal for the official who had control over such funds; second, there was the amendment by Senator Sena-tor Lodge, Massachusetts Republican, Republi-can, which would have required a distribution of the relief funds oa the basis of the number of unemployed unem-ployed in each state and which, thereby, would have prevented use of vast sums in some states where the political battle might be going against the candidate with a New Deal blessing, whether the opponent be an old line Democrat or a Republican; Re-publican; third, there was the amendment by Senator Rush Holt, Democrat, of West Virginia, which merely proposed to make all federal relief officials responsive to civil service laws insofar as political activity ac-tivity was concerned, and fourth, there was the amendment by Senator Sen-ator Austin, Republican, Vermont, which would have made it unlawful for any person whose compensation comes from relief funds to solicit, or authorize the solicitation of, funds as contributions to any political party. Well, as I said, the senate ran away from them and it seems fo me that any senator who voted against those ' amendments has a pretty difficult job to explain that vote. As much as I admire Senator Barkley, the basis of his argument was so sour that it smelled to high heaven. The Kentuckian told the senate that the amendments would destroy senators and give all of the political power into the hands of state political machines which could use that power against senators sena-tors seeking reelection. Senator Barkley is being challenged for re-nomination re-nomination in his state and, I suppose, sup-pose, the matter strikes right close home with him. Whether senators who voted against those amendments so intended in-tended or not, what they have done, when the picture is examined in an unbiased fashion, is to put the whole Roosevelt administration in a ridiculous ridic-ulous position. It was their action which makes the record show that the whole administration is willing to let politics run riot in relief; it is against a fair and equitable allocation al-location of money among the states in accordance with the number of unemployed who must be fed. As to the phase "back home," the The Folks 'Back Home' J Vii I J. i I X. V 'V t f I IS, i X. Modern chemists like Theodore Hoffman (above) have improved on the ancient art of perfume making, an art old as the pyramids, by using synthetic materials to produce odors which man cannot extract from flowers. For example, it takes almost a ton of roses to make one ounce of rose oil. But the odor is now produced in laboratories. And the ultra-sweet ultra-sweet musk, once obtained only from the Tibetian musk deer at $560 a pound, is today available for any perfume. Compounding new bouquets is part of Theodore Hoffman s ob. Paper tapers are dipped in basic per fumes. When twirled through the air before the nostrils, the blended tapers indicate how this particular bouquet will smell after it has been compounded. These prelim inary laboratory tests must pre cede actual manufacture of the perfume. Not the least incongruous part of this business is that deli cately scented perfumes are made by burly workmen m overalls! f of conditions word seeps through to Washington Wash-ington that a good many persons who are seeking house or senate nominations against New Deal aspirants are finding strong WPA organizations against them and in favor of the New Deal candidate. candi-date. And the full import of that strength comes to mind quickly when one thinks. what a hungry per son will give up m order to have food. Senator Tydings of Maryland is the sponsor of the move to clean up the mess in relief. Of course, Senator Tydings, while a staunch Democrat, seldom has done any thing to cause the New Dealers hap piness; on the contrary, he was marked for "liquidation" long, long ago. It is much better that an outstanding out-standing Democrat should have proposed pro-posed the investigation than to have had the proposal come from a Republican. Re-publican. Had a Republican intro duced the resolution, the thing would have been called political, purely. But it would have been a move calculated to demonstrate the genuineness of the New Deal if some Roosevelt 100 per center would have brought up the proposition. There is a great opportunity for this new senate committee to serve the country well. It can, and should, go into every report its investigators investiga-tors obtain to learn to what extent taxpayers' money is being employed to influence elections. It has an outstanding out-standing piece upon which to work, at the very start. Did not Mr. Hopkins Hop-kins horn into the Iowa primary? And everywhere there was the ques tion whether the WPA and other relief re-lief workers in Iowa would not construe con-strue the Hopkins announcement in behalf of Mr. Wearin as an "order" "or-der" for them to support the same man. But more important than Mr. Hopkins, this investigation if it is seriously made can point the tremendous tre-mendous fallacy and danger of relief re-lief being administered from Washington Wash-ington instead of from the states and the counties where the money is spent. If the country is made fully aware of true conditions, I believe there will be changes in the relief methods that will allow more than 60 or 70 cents out of each dollar dol-lar expended to be used for food and clothing as is the case now.
