‘My formula for seeing Mr, Hoover consisted of calling his office. The girl on the phone turned me over to Louis B. Nichols, assistant director of the bureau. I told him I'd like to do a column on what we should do to make our land a better ‘place to live, make it stronger from the standpoint of national security and what's the good:

Mr. Hoover was seated at his desk examining a large pile of papers. He rose as I approached his desk. We shook hands, he said it was nice of -me to pay the FBI a visit. He knew what my questions ‘were and there was no time wasted. He said good citizenship begins early in life, Parents have a tremendous responsibility toward .that end. The disappearance of the woodshed’ bothers him, He is ‘about convinced “Juvenile delinquency” is a misnomer. Adult delinquency would be more appropriate. : _ "I have heard too many sorrowful confessions of parents who ‘spared the rod and gpolled the child’.,” said Mr. Hoover. Criminal histories, and the ¥BI has many, often go back to the parent “throwing a curve.” to use his expression, to a child. Mr. Hoover cited an example he personally observed. The incident took place at a wrestling match, The exhibition didn’t draw a full house. To Mr. Hoover's left were empty. seats.

“am hoping it will be an ulcer. I already got the

where that the gout only attacks people of superhuman drive and intelligence. On the basis of gout alone, I was able to arrange an extension of A banknote, much as a writer I know used to extract blood from the stone by outlining. a sketch of a story to a banker who was unduly susceptible to book authors. :
Character and Ulcers
AND NOW you learn about ulcers. . A treatise called “Personality in Peptic Ulcers” says that the ulcer sufferer is “the tense, anxious, mildly agitated individual frequently seen as the go-get-ter, the promoter, the organizer, the manager, the executive, the businessman who will not admit defeat. . . . The ulcer patient may be only a janitor, but he will be the best janitor .in his part of the
AWB —~—r—AMONg executives, the man With the
ulcer is likely to be on several boards of directdts. +» + + Most ulcer victims have an insatiable craving to be superior persons...” . ; . In my research on gout, which is back again, by the way, and hurts like the devil; I found that the causes of both gout and ulcer are largely the same or, at least, that they attack the same sort of individual. You know-—the mildly agitated go-getter, and the best janitor available. That is how I like to- think of myself these days, after having regarded me as stupid for years, and I owe it all to a pain in the foot. It is a strange thing how people who do not have gout and ulcers are testily jealous of people who do own these twingeful testimonials to success. They laugh, Ha-Ha, and they make some half-joking- remark about the improbability of your having these diseases, and then they question" you on symptoms and remedy, and then they stiff and stalk off, like a woman in the presence of another woman who is wearing the same hat:

WASHINGTON, June 14—The. embatfled landlords, who've been fighting vainly for the end of rent controls now for five years, finally got a cheerful earful in the Senate. S80 amazed were they at kind words at long last that they applauded. \ And the chairman threatened to kick ’em out for disturbing the peace. The landlords subsided, but the landladies, being of an ingenious sex, waved their handkerchiefs—silently. There didn't seem to be mueh the Senators could do about that. The members of the Property Owners of Amerfca, led by their president, the Rev. Wallace J. Murphy of Tulsa, Okla: seemed to have chosen the perfect day for their visit to the Senate. For once nobody called 'em scrooges. The landladies, mostly robust females with white satin ribbons on their bosoms, got a chance to smile. The landlords just sat there, open-mouthed.
+..They heard first Sen. Harry P. Cain (R. Wash.) wind up his marathon speech against the bill which would carry rent controls one month past the coming elections in November. And then they heard Sen. John W. Bricker (R. O.) charge that ihe measure. was.a-political shenanigans
Fine, Cynical Attitude
ONLY REASON for such a bill, roared the handsome Senator, is the fact that Congressmen believe there are more voters among tenants than ‘amiong landlords. A fine, eynical attitude, said he.
This was when the landladies cried out in joy and the landlords cla d their hands. Sen. Clyde R. Hoey (D. N. C.) told 'em to hush. After a few more minutes Sen. Bricker made another crack about self-seeking politicians passing laws to gain votes, and again the landladies erupted in applause/ This time Sen. Hoey bore down. One more peep
