It has also developed into g time. Never since the Wilson administration has the Capital reverberated with so many rumors suicidal if true, most of them too absurd tv be listened to regarding tin private lives ot the New llealer. Apparently a concerted Koby L actively at work trying to smear some of the most impei tar. members of the administr.tion. A flood of anonymous lett rs constantly are deluging newspaper offices, are lent even to the White House. Anonymous attacks of this kind are not new. And they are not caused by spring madness. Usually they arise from political or personal enemies who cannot hurt those in power in any other wny. SIGHTSEER A large crowd of sightseers was milling outside the public gallery of the Senate. Fretfully a youthful guard was trying to keep the corridor clear of congestion. Keep moving, keep moving, he ordered. A short, man, with pronounced square jaw, and his eyes fixed on Gilbert Stuarts historic painting of George Washington paid no attention. "Hey, you, demanded the guard, "didn't you hear me? Get going!" The visitor did not even turn his head. To a younger man standing beside him he remarked; "Can you detect a scar on Washingtons face? I cant. But I'm told that there is a Stuart painting which clearly reveals a cut across the jaw. Ive been hunting for that painting for a long time. The companion, anxiously eyeing the menacing guard, tugged at the speaker's arm. Finally the latter saw the guard. "I'm sorry, he said pleasantly, and moved on. g Note; sightseer was Ferdinand Pecora, fighting counsel of the Senate bank investigating eommittee, recently offered of the the Morgen-thaby Secretary Treasury which he declined. NO SYMPATHY Franklin Roosevelt sent the Marines into Haiti when he waa Assistant Secretary of the Navy 20 years ago. But as President of the United Slates he is having a hard time getting them out. The trouble is that a lot of Haitians dont want them to go. President Vincent, Specifically conferring at the White House this week, hates to see their exit. The Haitian President has been extremely discreet in mentioning this, and the above will be de, statement probably nied. Nevertheless last summer he requested their retention and now one year longer, would like to see this period extended further. His trouble is that when the Marines go it becomes difficult for him to remain in office. But he didn't find Roosevelt very sympathetic. It looks as if the Marines will leave Haiti next October.
