Otherwise, appraisal of the potential effects usually will miss its mark under circumstances of that kind. Of such a type were the charges by Dr. William A. Wirt, the school superintendent from Gary, Ind., who asserted that "bruin trusters" of the Roosevelt administration were seeking to overthrow our form of government and establish a communistic or Russian Soviet state in its place. Doctor Wirt's accusations came out of the blue sky, so to speak, because there was no advance notice of them. Of course, there were thousands of persons who were uneasy about the trend of events and the plans of the New Dealers. Apparently, however, most of them were unwilling to make themselves a target for the unbelieving by becoming vocal about their opinions. So, the setting In which Washington observers found themselves was, to say the least, a new one. With these facts in mind, I have awaited an exposition of Doctor Wirt's charges before attempting to analyze them or to fit them into other things that have been happening to make a complete picture. His appearance before the house committee of inquiry left nothing to be desired in the dramatics. He was there, accompanied by that famed attorney, former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, which was, in Itself, a surprise. And Doctor Wirt stood up against the barrage of attempts to discredit him! He never flinched; he fought back, and he was apparently convinced of his own find ings, a fact that gave him added courage. Doctor Wirt wasted no words in telling of the famous party in a nearby Virginia home where Lawrence Todd, Washington representative of the Russian Soviet news agency "Tass" and several "satellites" of the brain trust were at dinner with the Indiana educator. He quoted Todd as the authority for the statement that President Roosevelt was the "Kerensky" of the present revolution and that presently Mr. Roosevelt would be supocplanted by a "Stalin," even as curred In Russia. Of course, Mr. Todd has no part in the government, officially, and a good many of those who scoffed at Doctor Wirt originally contended the charges were just "baloney." But he made the statements under oath and their effect now is the thing with which we For to say that the are concerned. no effect is to make had have charges moon i3 made of the that a statement cheese. green To those of us whose Job it Is to of public keep a finger on the pulse sentiment, It has been apparent for several months that a reac- c tion against many of the New Deal principles had set In. I, for one, however, was unable to gauge It accurately. I could not tell how deeply rooted these convictions were. It required some such incident as the Wirt charges to focus attention on the fact that there were doubters before most of us here could gain an Idea of the "oppositionist" movement that appeared to exist Let me say at this point, too, that it Is apparent Mr. Roosevelt Is not the only target; the criticism seems to be more of the adideas prompted by his brain trust own rePresident's the than visers is form or recovery principles.

Doctor Wirt quoted Mr. Todd as having said that "Roosevelt Is In midstream and the current ls too strong for hira to turn back." I still have faith in our system of government and ! have more faith In a majority opinion of the people of the United States. Since Doctor Wirt testified, they are on their guard. It may be that the sun of the brain trust theorist is setting. One more observation about the Wirt In a long service in Washington, I have seen few as badly bearings Badly ni,ll)(lled by a conv Muddled mittee of congress. Each of the members of the committee knew, of course, that the atmosphere was surcharged with politics. Some of the Democrats obviously were afraid that Doctor Wirt was gos ing to explode a bombshell of that would do their party no good at all, and some of the Republicans were afraid that Doctor Wirt would not explode that bombshell. Consequently, there was haggling without end. I believe the consensus among the hundred-odcorrespondents who were reporting the hearing was that Representative Bulwlnkle of North Carolina, a Democrat and the chairman, reflected no particular credit upon himself or the committee as Inquisitors. Criticism of Representative McGugin, a Kepubliean from Kansas, also was heard, for Mr. McGugin went just as far In supporting the witness as Mr. Bulwiukle did in him. In the background of the committer, haggling, stood the tall, figure of "Jim" Reed. Senator Reea, when he was In the senate, was prob ably the most feared of all debaters. Mis vitriolic retorts and cutting statements seldom failed to make spines as Doctor His presence quiver. Wirt's counsel failed at first to check Mr. Bulwiukle, but the fact that he was there provided Mr. McGugin with assurance of help In any battle of words. Certain evidence of people's views always Is reflected In congress rather quickly after changes in sentiment take place, and it is no different now. There was a time during the first months of President Roosevelt's administration when anything he sent to congress was put through, and no questions were asked. Currently, however, there ls a disposition among members of both political parties In congress to Inquire into the character of legislation they are putting through. For example, the bill that the President wanted for controlling the security exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange, was advertised by Democratic leaders at first as being ready to go through without question. Mr. Roosevelt said he wanted "teeth" in it, and teeth were put In It plenty of them. Indeed, the proposed legislation would have left little of the stock exchange to operate. Rigid control was a mild expression compared with that original stock market bllL affair: poll-tic- g gray-haire- d Stock exchange members, brokerage houses and plain Investors suddenly awakened to the fact Wake Up, that the bill was go Then Fieht lng t0 do thlnRS to They gtarted to fight. They found responsive chords In the house and senate. Reason and logic, as opponents of the bill understood those words, began to prevail and, presently, rumors of proposed changps In the measure began to crop beup. And what's more, the changes of a be majority by to accepted gan the committees that had the bill In charge, despite frequent reiterations by Senator Fletcher, chairman of the sen ate banking committee, and Chairman ComRayburn, of the house Interstate merce committee, that the President wanted the teeth left In. It Is to be admitted. I think, that busithere was a lot of monkey-doodl- e ness going on among some members of security exchanges. My belief Is that they did not always give the Individual Investors In stocks a fair shake. But some of the reformers Included In the administration's brain trust appear to have overlooked the good In whatever amount It exists In the stock exchanges. But, to get to the point of the story. Many persons hold to the view that the government should not spread a parental wing too far over private offalrs. It has been done already beyond the anticipation of a majority of the peoto deal In ple. They want to be free to even to gamble. speculate, stocks, If you please, without having bureau cracy here In Washington to tell thef what to do. The legislation will go through eventually. Of that there Is no doubt In Its final form, however, It will not be the hnndlwork of the reformers. There will be reforms brought about by It. only they will be for the purposes of correcting abuses and not for the purpose of trying out theories on sorn body's money. e, by Wntari Newspaper t'nloa. d self-respec- t.

Reran Wolfe, who had the courage to publish that statement The point he makes la that more marriages would turn out well If husbands and wives acted 'as if love might be the reward of five or ten years of successful other, living together and growing together and perhaps working together and suffering together. It Is the result of people feeling for each other and understanding each other. In short, know ing each other and loving each other anyway! That Is why It is more rational to expect love as the result of a success ful marriage than the prelude to It, the reward of living together in such a way that attraction is enriched by friendship and understanding so that two people truly belong to each other, and through love, two become as one. And when that love Is achieved it will be found that It ls not Interested in what It ls to get, but Is preoccupied in giving." . "It brings to the mind the old confusion between loving and being 'in love.' The sensation of being in love is what most people feel for each other when they marry. They are attracted by various forces of the other's personality, in which they see their needs and their hopes and 'heir dreams fulfilled. In other words they are thrilled by the prospect of what they are going to receive.

Transferred to Eng land, it was derisively applied by the Roundheads to the Cavaliers, who nicknamed their opponents Whigs. In America a redlvlslon of parties occurred at the Constitutional convention.
