Mr. Truman is bringing into government is likened by some to Coolidge or Harding, and the assembling personality of his whole regime is being run Into that past character niche, especially by bewildered and confused radicals,. It Is a bad simile, inaccurate and of no value except for political opposition. You cannot find the personality counterpart of this administration in the past. It is something new. Look into the first, one, John S. Snyder, head of the Jesse Jones financial empire, (not considering yet the fresh cabinet men). He Is a banker brought in to handle the biggest banking business in the history of the world, the people's $46,000,000,000 RFC and associated lending ventures, which J. S. Snyder y,e radical clique wanted to lace in the hands of a man who knew nothing of banking. Nothing like Mr. Snyder happened in the Harding or COolidge era. Why he was not even president of the First National bank of St. Louis from which Mr. Truman extracted him. He was a reasonably young vice president, with no gray hair, no wrinkles, a clear round open face, In experience, genial, appearance and every other way, be was about ai far from New York banking leadership as you could get and still obtain experience and knowledge.

PA1NFUL DILEMMA The unfaithful wife of the absent serviceman has become a familiar theme. In this article , however, a rather unusual situation is considered. Carol Brown loves her husband and her children, and wants nothing more than quiet and virtuous family life. W hen the war , took Fred however, Carol was so lonely and miserable that she tried to get what solace she could from friends. Before she tvas really aware of it, she was seeing a man named Morgan, an artist like herself, more and more often. These visits developed into an affair' ' lasting for months. AU during this period, however, she continued writing affectionate and, in a sense, sincere letters to her husband, lie never suspected that anything was amiss. Now he is coming home, crippled. Carol is anxious to have him back, and to try to resume life as it used to be. This ugly episode with Morgan, however, clouds the future. W hile Morgan has ended their meetings, and can be depended upon to keep silent, many other people know about them, and a disclosure some day is always possible, perhaps likely. Carol doesn't know what to do whether to confess, and trust to Freds understanding and generosity, or whether to try to conceal and live in constant fear. Carol is not a sociable woman. au-avShe studied painUng for many years, works bard at her art still, fills her time with her books, garden, studio hours and children.
