LONG LIST OF CRANKS THRONG WHITE HOUSE President's Guards of Secret Service Are Masters of Psychology. hn &rrlpi>a-H(itrnrit S'cirtpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.—Except for some twist of violence in his brain, Giuseppe Zangara might have been only one of the long list of cranks who through the White Housp, almost daily with complaints or suggestions they want to place before the President of the United States. It is amazing how many people look upon the nation's chief executive as a combination of father confessor, physician and personal advisor. They enter the lobby of the executive offices, and *f they prove 1 harmless the guards permit them to sit around a while. They get con- ' sidcrable satisfaction out of that, ! and rarely return when informed that "the President can not see them today.’’ Others, more persistent, must be handled differently, and they are taken in charge by the secret service. Here psychology enters, and most members of the secret service have a fair knowledge of practical psychology. Dick Jervis, for instance, began to study psychology the day he was assigned to the White House in the era of Theodore Roosevelt. One day, when President Taft found him reading a textbook on the subject,! Mr. Taft shook with laughter and said; "I hope you learn what it’s all about.” The first essential is that no crank must leave the White House with ill feelings toward its chief occupant. So, no matter what his complaint, he usually is informed that some other department has charge of the i matter troubling him, and it is from there that he is gently sent away,! or taken to the hospital for obser-1

NOT A BEER TANK! IT’S FOR AN ASPHALT PLANT

r < 3* * % i * % * 4"

One Indianapolis firm was “tanking up” today, with the repeal of the eighteenth amendment passed along to the states. But instead of the 40,000-gallon tank, shown blocking South Harding street near Morris street, being a tank for beer mash, it's just a discarded gas tank that's going to have its dignity lowered by becoming the storage tank for a south side asphalt plant. It was purchased by the Gold-

vation, if that should be deemed necessary. There are some cases which must be handled on the spot, however. One old lady, for instance, wanted to tell the President about a sinis- j ter figure who followed her about j and cast spells over her. She was | sure the chief executive could fix it up. Jervis, after listening to her twist- 1

smith Pape and Supply Company from the National Refining Company, 538 South Harding street, and sold, in turn, to the asphalt company. Two other tanks, one of 40.000gallon capacity and one of 20,000 gallons, also have been purchased by Goldsmith's from the National company. The tanks are known as "leakers” in the gasoline trade and are unfit for the storage of gas.

HOOVER URGES PASSAGE OF 8 ‘BIG 1 MEASURES Begins Last-Minute Drive; •Must’ Adopt Bankruptcy Bill, He Says. BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN Vnited Press Staff Corresoondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—President Herbert Hoover unexpectedly began a last-minute drive Monday to push his many-sided reconstruction program through the "lame duck” congress. With his departure from the White House only two weeks away, Mr. Hoover sent to Capitol Hill a message bristling with such phrases as "critical importance,” "grave dangers” and "exaggerating fears,” The message urged adoption of eight measures "looking to the promotion of economic recovery.” The bankruptcy bill must be passed, the President said, if obstructive receiverships, particularly among the railroads, are to be avoided. The complicated domestic allotment plan would do more harm than good to agriculture, said Mr. Hoover. He urged that the house of representatives cease making public the loans of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, declaring such revelations are drying up the very sources of credit. These three subjects were considered by some as the most important in the eight pithy paragraphs the President used. His other recommendations included: Ratification of the Great LakesSt. Lawrence seaway treaty, as being of great importance in relief of unemployment. Enactment by the house of the Glass banking bill, which he said "Is the first constructive step to remedy the prime weakness of our whole economic life—that is, organization of our credit system.” Granting of authority to the R. F. C. to increase its relief loans. Expansion of the house loan dis-
