Upton Sinclair One of the mast unusual books to reach this desk in the last few months is Upton Sinclair's latest, called in movie terms, ‘'Upton Sinclair Presents William Fox.” Here is a picture in biography form of the influence of high finance and Wall Street and the movie industry as it affected the fortunes and commanding position of Fox. It is written in ‘‘twentynine reels with prologue and epilogue.” It sells for $3. tt a tt HAVE just met anew friend in a book and I want you to meet him because he has solved a problem—How to be Happy on Nothing a Year. And that is the name of the book, •‘How to Be Happy on Nothing a Year,” and its daddy is Charles A. David of Greenville, South Carolina. Here is not a sermon but just a little 191-paged chat with a man who has found happiness in life Without a bankroll. At the beginning, he tells you that "I am forced, therefore, to conclude that the Golden Key to happiness i eposes within us. It is not in bank vaults nor in our tangible posessions but is in our minds and hearts." And he takes the optimistic Viewpoint that as he has found this Golden Key within himself that you and I may find it. Then he asks you to witness the miracles in his yard and he tells you that he has a ‘‘dyed-in-the-wool, bred-in-the-bonc optimist” right in his back yarn He is referring to the blue jay. You meet the hen and the roaster, the catbird and the squirrel—all in his back yard. And very suddenly he gives you this thought: “In a world where there are people, in a world where there are flowers, and birds, and animals, and mountains, in a world where there are friendship and love, in a world where there are changing seasons, in a world where there are problems to be solved and hundreds of books yet to be read, I will not be unhappy.” tt tt tt In the days when he was a clerk In a small-town store, David goes back to the times when a lady would not use the term "petticoat” to a male clerk. He admits that “we were not presumed to know even that women had feet, let alone legs. Indeed, leg was a bad word, and I have known more than one person to have her character questioned by using it.” These Main Street memories are made even more delightful by the author’s picture of a real old-fash-ioned camp meeting. I really loved the passages devoted to his daily journey to the livery stables which "were the centers of male social life." And so it is easy to believe that David had a curious but a grand assortment of friends. Those who love birds will go wild over the chapter on “Backyard Comedies," in which the bluejay becomes a wonderful comedian as well as a mimic. But just wait until he takes you fishing, even with no fish biting. Here is beauty of writing and observation that we seldom encounter. I hope you want to say "Howdy” and shake David's hand in "How To Be Happy on Nothing a Year.” It is published by the Bobbs-Merrill " Company and sells for $1.50. What are they reading all over the country: Brentano's reports the best fiction sellers as “Ann Vickers" by Sinclair Lewis; "One More Spring,” by Robert Nathan; "Pageant,” by' G. B. Lancaster; “The Provincial Lady in London.” by E. M. Delafield; “Mulliner Nights.” by P. G. Wodehouse. and. “Imitation of Life,” by Fannie Hurst. u u In “Superstition,” the author, Stephen McKenna, explores many hidden chambers of the human mind and takes the reader very far into the mysterious regions of the occult. a e b If you talk books very much and love to get into heated arguments about this book and that author. I suggest that you at once get hold of “The Adventures of The Black Girl in Her Search For God.” Os course it is by Bernard Shaw, published by Dodd. Mead and Company and sells for $1.50. This girl gives up the struggle “to spend her life imagining she can find a complete • explanation of the universe by laying about with her knobkerry.” And so she pays lot of attention to the health of her garden as well as her pickaninnies.

FARM CREDIT STRUCTURE TO BE REVAMPED Morgenthau, New Chairman, Outlines Broad Program for Relief. CONTROL CENTRALIZED Loans to Be Handled More Conveniently for Needy Soil Tiller. Bn T Kill'd Prcun WASHINGTON, March 3.—Henry Morgenthau Jr., designated chairman of the federal farm board in the Roosevelt administration, today outlined a broad program for rehabilitation of farm credit structure Calling at the farm board for an appointment with Chairman James C. Stone, described his ideas of farm credit relief. Morgenthau said that upon taking office he w’ould move as quickly in consolidation of various farm loan agencies as law would permit. Extraordinary powers apparently will be granted Mr. Roosevelt almost immediately. “My first job,” Morgenthau said, “is to get the government out of stabilization.” Should Finance Co-Ops He said he believed, however, that the farm board should continue to finance co-operatives. The former New 7 York state conservation commissioner expressed the opinion that the huge credit agency he will handle should be known as the federal farm credit administration, rather than as the farm board, since there no longer will be a board of eight members. He stressed the importance of oneman control as opposed to the board system. Morgenthau’s description indicated the new fedei'al farm credit agency probably would be designed as follows; 1. Division for loans to co-opera-tives. 2. Division of federal land banks and intermediate credit banks. (This would replace the six-man federal land bank board). 3. Division of emergency loans, including Reconstruction Finance Corporation production loans, seed loans and drought relief loans. 4. Division to put into effect new legislation passed by congress to take care of farm mortgage situation. Lending Is Centralized At the head of each of these divisions would be one man, probably appointed by the President himself, but directly responsible to Morgenthau. “Our idea is in the main,” Morgentheau explained, “to fix the credit structure so that a farmer can go to one place and get all necessary credit immediately. “In other words, he can borrow money for planting, harvesting, and upon his land, all in one stop, instead of having to go to a number of different people.” Morgenthau said he intended to keep the interest rates on loans “as low as possible.”

GAS FUMES FATAL TO YOUNG CITY MUSICIAN Body Is Discovered by Wife in North Side Apartment. Nearly two hours spent in a tightly closed kitchen filled with fumes from a gas range resulted in the death of Marshall S. Drummond. 24, of 1649 North Alabama street, Apartment 25, early Thursday night. The body was discovered by his wife. Mrs. Miriam Drummond. 22, when she returned home from a theater. Her screams brought Lee and Burt Hendrickson, custodians in the building, to the scene and they dragged Drummond into another room. Police were called and rescue squads used inhalators without success. Mrs. Drummond said that her husband, a musician, once had threatened suicide. A baby daughter is with Mrs. Drummonds parents in South Bend.

Mayor Cermak Asks for ‘Order of Ham and Eggs ’ BY EDWARD W. LEWIS Vnitcd Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI, Fla., March 3. —Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago felt so much better today that he asked his doctor for “an order of ham and eggs.”

He awoke in his oxygen tent at Jackson memorial hospital after what physicians said was “the best night" since he was shot last month by Giuseppi Zangara in an attack on President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. Dr. Frank Jirka said the mayor looked refreshed when he awoke and asked how he was getting along. “ ‘All right,’ the mayor said. ‘Get met an order of ham and eggs.’ ” A second blood transfusion Thursday added to Cermak’s strength and his physicians now believe he may

ROOSEVELT KEEPSAKES IN NEW HOME

Family Silver and Photos Will Be Brought to White House

This, third of six articles for which Marguerite Young was sent to Washington to obtain material, is a discussion of how the Roosevelts probably will change the White House when they move in March 4. BY MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Staff Writer Reporting just where a Dolly Gann sat at a White House dinner, and how, used to be a much tougher assignment for a Washington newspaper woman than covering a Hoover announcement of a moratorium . . . but that’s over now, too. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will hold regular press conferences in the capital. So you’re likely to learn, in the First Lady’s words, how a considerable collection of personal belongings are fitted into the White House—about Patches, a spirited black horse, and Dot, Mrs. Roosevelt’s bay. New servants will help to adapt the old mansion to new needs. Prickly bookkeeping problems and the responsibility for receiving packages and supervising servants paid by Uncle Sam, formerly handled by a custodian housekeeper and chief clerk, now pass on to a couple who will be, respectively, plain housekeeper and custodian-chief clerk. Both the man and his wife were Hyde Park acquaintances of the Roosevelts. The husband is said to have been a small-time business man. It’s a good thing that he was. His new job involves complicated accounts of official and unofficial living costs. The former are defrayed by a congressisonal appropriation headed “‘Traveling Expenses,” and including fund for

Elimination Matches Wlil Be Played on Rink at Tomlinson Hall. Opening battles in The Times junior roller polo tourney will be played at Tomlinson hall starting at 1:30 Saturday afternoon. All players are requested to be at the hall by 1 o'clock, ready for the fracas. Time is short, but you still can enter your team. Just line up five boys in your neighborhood—eight if you can get them, as you may need substitutes—and call The Times or bring or mail in your entry on the coupon in today’s paper. The Red Devils, James Partlowe, manager, came into the race Thursday. If you’re not more than 15 years old and do not weigh more than 120 pounds, you are eligible to compete. First prize will be skates for the entire winning team, “super-skates,” made by the Kingston Products Company, nationally known manufacturers of Kokomo. Second team also will be given skates of only slightly lower quality. And if you don’t happen to have a hockey stick and puck, you can get them free with a pair of skates at L. S. Ayres & Cos. First two instalments of the rules were printed in The Times Wednesday and Thursday. The last instalment follows. Read them and then take your last practice for the big game Saturday. Remember, skates will be furnished for players at the hall. If any player removes or attempts to remove the ball after it has gone into the goal, a foul shall be called upon him and a goal allowed the opposing side. How to Settle Disputes Any act by any player manifestly Intended as an unwarrantable Interference by one player with another may be declared a foul by the referee from his own observation or upon complaint of the captain of the offended side. If a dispute shall arise on the playing floor, it shall be settled by the referee and two captains. The players immediately shall resume their positions on the floor and take no part in the discussion, unless called upon by the referee. Any player violating this rule shall suffer a foul. The shin protectors of the goal tender shall not measure more than nine inches across. All goal tenders must wear masks during play and must be equipped with suitable chest protectors. In case a stick strap is broken, the player must cease play until it is repaired or another stick is provided. Failure to observe this rule shall call for a foul penalty. Tripping Is Barred Any player throwing his stick at the ball or across the floor shall suffer a foul penalty. Anv player deliberately tripping or striking another shall be removed from the game by the referee and a foul called on his team. Anv plaver using profane or obscene language on the floor or acting in an ungentlemanly manner, sufficient to attract attention of the spectators, shall be removed from the game by the referee and a foul called on his team. FISHING BILL IS PASSED License Measure Approved by House on Second Roll Call. Two roll calls were taken in the house of representatives Thursday to determine fate of a bill removing fishing license exemptions and it was passed on the second ballot, 55 to 23. On the first roll call the vote was 47 for and 39 against, which was four short of the number of ayes needed for passage. The bill, a senate measure, ends the exemption from buying licenses for fishing in the county of a person's residence and only persons fishing on their own land those under 18 and ex-service men are not required to have licenses.

Storm's beat on the attempted assassination of Mr. Roosevelt stands as one of the journalistic feats of the year. He will be at Mr. Roosevelt's side throughout the eventful day, and will write the account of the inaugural address. ana Lyle C. WILSOIfc chief of the United Press senate staff,

for help—Mrs. Roosevelt is an expert at keeping accounts straight. u u a IN addition, the family will take along three colored servants, two cooks and Mrs. Roosevelt's long trained personal maia. Mr. Roosevelt’s valet is going also, and two waiters, a housemaid, and the family’s chauffeur. All go on the government payroll. So the domestic staff will number 22, about a dozen fewer than the Hoovers used. The new President’s wife, like everyone else in his administration, is cutting down expenses 25 per cent. The little silver bell which she uses at the table and is taking with her is a miniature lady who nods as she rings . . . associated with the First Lady’s earliest memories. Mrs. Roosevelt’s own small tea set probably will go into one of her private rooms. He is packing some silver trophies . . . the cup his Albany cabinet gave him, the tray which a Harvard honor society presented as a wedding gift, and, of course, many marine prints. A gross of these went with them to Albany. They spread Franklin Roosevelt’s fame to the fraternity of collectors. For years he has treasured the ever-increasing numbers of them, some fine, some little more than a problem of hangingspace. Family silver, too, will go to Washington, and many family photographs. Mrs. Roosevelt always fills her own room with pictures. About the horses Mrs. Roosevelt has said: “Anybody who can ride at all can ride Dot, but only an expert can ride Patches, because he’s such an uncertain animal.” He belongs to young John Roosevelt, and will be ridden by the younger boys when they are at home, and by guests. At least two dogs, police and Scottie, are moving with them. And Mrs. Roosevelt’s new blue roadster, purchased by herself from her earnings, especially for scurrying about in Washington. At the disposal of the last White House family were eight automobiles and two baggage trucks, besides Mrs. Hoover’s own car. a tt THE new family will have to find a stable for its animals, for Herbert Hoover sent theequipages to a nearby garage in an economy gesture. He abolished the White House stables — traditional since Washington rode out in cream colored coach with six steeds and footmen in orangetrimmed white livery—when he banished the Presidential yacht, Mayflower. Converting the Monroe sitting room into a family living room, Mrs. Roosevelt may find room for some of her Val Kill furniture. She doesn’t want the antiques there, because, as she has said, “the family might be a little destructive.” Most of the new furniture will be upholstered for comfort, but a wooden early American table may be fitted in somewhere. Under her still tentative plan, the Lincoln study will be a bedroom once more. Herbert Hoover recovered some of the old furniture and spent many evenings there with a detective story. The one-time Cabinet Room, where Civil v/ar generals met, was changed years ago to a sleeping chamber, known for a long preHoover period as the Blue Guest Room. Mr. Roosevelt’s suite will include a room now used as Mrs. Hoover’s dressing room, and probably a study, now' Mrs. Hoover’s oval sitting room. Mrs. Roosevelt is expected to use w’hat is now the President’s bedroom. a g a “AT least two sunny southwest xY rooms on the third floor of the White House will do double duty for the Roosevelts —the nursery rooms in which Mrs. Herbert Hoover placed her grandchildren’s playthings—all scientific.

for when the children aren’t in Washington the rooms are likely to be turned into guest chambers for adults. Guests, in fact, often may be assigned to a room the family will know as “Jimmie’s” or “Frank’s” or ‘Anna’s.” Somewhere among the twenty or so bedrooms there’s likely to be a Roosevelt relative practically all the time. There is imperious, polished, lively Grandmother Sara Delano Roosevelt, beloved by all the family. And the five children: Blonde, typically modern Anna, product of finishing schools and conventional European traveling—and work in an agricultural experimental college; her husband, Curtis Dali, a young banker, and two children, Anna Eleanor, 5, and Curtis Roosevelt, almost 3, better known in the circle as “Sistie” and “Buzzy.” Next the James Roosevelts—24-year-old advertising man in Cambridge, Mass., now, and his pretty wife and baby.

McNutt Acts to Release Bone Dry Law Prisoners First steps toward freeing more than. 400 Wright law violators from the Indiana penal institutions were taken today at the office of Governor Paul V. McNutt.

The chief executive has taken the stand that with the signing of the Wright law repeal, these prisoners are in the category of "political prisoners,” and should be set free. Wayne Coy, secretary in charge of prison affairs, telephoned the superintendents of each institution, and told them to prepare complete records in each cash of a prisoner sentenced under the Wright law. The group includes those at the Indiana state prison, Indiana state reformatory, Indiana state farm, and the Indiana Women’s prison.

$1 Will Be Assessed on Each 100 Pounds of Weight by New Law. Another revenue measure today is being enrolled for the signature of Governor Paul V. McNutt as result of senate approval late Thursday of a house bill fixing a tax on trucks. Terms of the new act provide that a levy of $1 shall be made on each 100 pounds of gross weight of trucks, fully equipped for transportation of freight. Trucks operated exclusively in cities and towns, for transporting livestock and farm products, distributing periodicals, household goods, transporting school children and carrying mail, are exempted. Fees must be paid annually and are to be credited to the state highway commission fund. Sales of prison-made products, under terms of a house bill approved late Thursday by the senate, will be restricted to the state and its political sub-divisions. Stone and cement products are exempted. Upsetting the usual routine for administration bills, the senate Thursday afternoon killed the measure providing anew salary schedule for township trustees.

These records will be studied and the institutional conduct and previous history considered in each case before release, Coy said. Every prisoner will be dealt with individually and there will be no mass order for exit by parole, he explained. Should any of the prisoners be wanted in other states on charges, they will be turned over to authorities there.
