NEW YORK, June 15—1 am just a mite amazed at all the furor over the children’s sudden seizure of Hopalong Cassidy and the other thespian buckaroos as minor. deities today, as if the game of cowboy and injun was something.
“they just thought up to fit television. This cowboy
and injun stuff has been going on for ages, and _ the popular personification of the cowpoke has always drawn big at ‘the box office. When I was a youngun we worshiped at the shrine of William 8. Hart, a two-gun type with a rock hard face and an invincible trigger finger. Mr. Hart made several million golden, income-tax-proof dollars out of his ability to look as sad ‘as Buster Keaton, and as grim as Gromyko. We bought him purely as himself, not-as an- actor:

or four times, soaking up every mannerism of the heroes. - After Mr. Hart became slightly passe there arrived a hook-nosed hero named Tom Mix, and with him a handsome young chap named Fred Thompson, who died at the flush of his success. Thompson rode magnificently, and did, I believe, as much to make a star of a horse as anyone. Two of the richest operators in Hollywood today are Gene Autry and Roy Rogers’ mere neophytes to the field of horse-kissing and wooden nobility, and they considerably precede Hoppy as an ‘idol of the young. Mr. William Boyd, Cassidy's off-screen personality, merely has been able to impinge sharply ons the children by a happy clause in early picture contracts which

WASHINGTON, June 15—You have heard, fellow taxpayers, about the government's ancient eggs growing no fragranter in a Kansas cave. Now it develops that we have lent a citizen $300,000 to buy up still more éggs and dry them. Whether these are for pouring on top of the originals at the bottom of this hole-in-the-ground is a question. And if you're beginning to feel gonfused, I guess it’s my fault. I just don’t understand the reason for the government's left hand lending 2 man money so that its right hand will be In position to pay him a subsidy. Neither does Sen: J. William Fulbright (D. Ark.) who is inves-
tigating the lending policies of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. a
The loan is as safe as the eggs. The RFC will get back its money so long as the Department of Agriculture continues to support egg prices. As the Senator described the deal, the federal money men lent the $300,000 as working capital last year to Henningsen ‘La Mesa, Inc, an egg buyer of La Mesa, Tex. Victor*W. Henningsen personally guaranteed the loan... He has been paying back installments when due on the dot. The RFC never made a better loan.
Dried Eggs in Demand? “ARE DRIED EGGS ‘in great demand by the public?” inquired Sen. Fulbright. . This was supposed to be a small joke, dryer even than the eggs, but RFC Director William E. Willett took it seriously. : He $aid he did not know how avidly the public was buying the government's dried eggs; all he knew was that Mr, Henningsen was selling them in vast quantities.

“Don't you know that dried eggs are in great surplus?” insisted the Senator. “A cave in Kansas is Tull of them:'and 100 million pounds are spoiling. Didn't you know that?” “No, sir,” replied the pink-faced, soft-voiced director. “But if dried eggs are in great surplus,” the Senator went on, “what is the public interest in| fostering more production of dried eggs?” Director Willett fumbled a little with that one. He said the business obviously was prospering; that it provided employment in Texas and that the RFC was getting its money back with interest.
And the Public Interest? ‘“BUT WHERE ‘does the public benefit?” snapped Sen. F. “What is the interest of the people in drying still more eggs?” | “Well,” said Mr, Willett, “it is in‘the interest of the chicken growers.” This souttded like a lame answer to the Senator, but it was the best he could get.
