He built it with his own hands at 5049 Elliott Ave. and surrounded it with a high wire fence. He keeps the gates locked and has rigged up a long distance bell pull for visitors to announce their arrival. Mr. Patterson said he was born in 1834 in Hart County, Kentucky and that he has papers to prove it. His mother was a slave and his father was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian who was never enslaved. However, Mr. Patterson was a slave,-owned by Squire Dawson who had big farms in Hart County. “We were called Dawson until we were freed,” he said, “and then I took my father’s name of Patterson. I used to drive six horses for Gen. Valentine Buckner, who was a Con‘federate general.” Mr. Patterson entered his 10-room house which he has been building for five years. It appears to be very well and expertly built, and about all the available space in the yard is

“My advice to young people,” he said, “ is to keep out of debt. That's why I have this house here now, because I've always kept out of debt. “The reason many people can not live on the money they earn is tha they want to go to picture shows every night in the week or drink it all up on Saturday nght. I go to a picture show two or three times in a year and I buy a drink and then go home. I live inside of what I earn and don’t go into debt.” He is going to be 107, March 5, but there is no special attention paid to that. “I don’t celebrate birthdays any more,” he said. “They just happen and I'm thankful when they come because it shows I'm living right and God is taking care of me. It’s been a long life, but a person’s got to live right to live a long time.” He drives his own car, a 1925 Ford, which he keeps in good mechanical condition himself. He uses his car to help him make a living. He said he has been issued a driver’s license every year it has been necessary in Indiana to have one. “There’s not a scratch against my license, either,” he said. “When I see there may be an accident, I drive off to one side and [get out of the way.” Mr. Patterson said his brothers and sisters died a long time ago. He attributes his longevity to moderation in his use of liquor and tobacco. That and to whatever it was he inherited from his father. “Father lived to be 117 years old,” he said, “and he might have lived much longer if he had not been killed when he was struck by the

shaft of a wagon when he attempted to stop a runaway horse.”

chance may still exist. But polls and the opinions of responsible Re-

in continuing Administration’s authority to negotiate reciprocal agreements.

Lamont Lines Up With Hull

Mr. Hull's policy has alienated some Democrats as well as many Republicans, but it remains substantially a party issue so far as Democrats are concerned. There is notable Republican support for the trade agreements. Thomas W. Lamont, a partner in J. P. Morgan & Co., is the latest anti-New Dealer to line up with Mr. Hull. Writing in Collier’s magazine, Mr. Lamont described himself as a lifelong Republican who believed the reciprocal program should be continued. The automotive industry is in with a big boost for the export salesmaking effect of reciprocal agreements. 4 The Republican Program Committee, presided over by Dr. Glenn Frank, approved the avoidance of Congressional log-rolling achieved by the Hull system but proposed that the completed agreements should be subject to approval by concurrent resolutions by Congress. Caution Is Urged

Mr. Lamont warned his party to caution. “I can understand the attitude,” he wrote, “of those who are not convinced of the lift the Hull agreements have given to our foreign trade and who therefore may not support this policy. But for the Republicans to take a partisan stand against this manifest effort to expand our commerce would, I submit, place the party in an untenable position. “It would jeopardize the success of any Republican Administration that might win office next November, for the reason that the next four years for America must be made to produce expanding, not dwindling trade. “Which one of the critics (of trade agreements) has stopped to figure to what low point our trade might have dropped if the agreements had not been in existence.”

Close Friend of Farley

Mr. Hull scarcely could ask for a less qualified indorsement of the policy upon which his cabinet record stands and with which he would be identified as a Presidential candidate, : He is a persona grata with the Democratic organization and with Democrats in Congress where he served in both the House and Senate. He once was chairman of the Democratic National Committee and, important, too, is the fact that he is a close friend of Postmaster’ General James A. Farley. L Whether he will be nominated for President depends largely upon Mr. Roosevelt, although it is probable that unless he sought the office himself, the President would not be able to control enough delegates to prevent Mr, Hulls nomination if Farley and Democratic conservatixes centered on him.
