economic sharps
have suddenly become extremely
bullish over the prospects lor the
1838. Even the
last six months
confirmed pessimists among them
agreed at their moat recent check-
up that tha rise may border on
the sensational.
They now look for a yearly
average of 105 on the Federal Re-
serve chart as against a disap-
pointing level of 57 for tha first
six months. That will mean an
improvement in the key industries
which nobody would have dared
to forecast a few weeks ago. Same
of the dopesters predict that un-
employment may fall as low as
seven million before Christmas
representing the first real back-to-work
movement since the de-
pression. The experts who venture these
leases are not politicians not
even' politically minded there-
fore their predictions have spe-
cial significance. They are the
opinions of men like Louis Been
and MOrdecai Ezekiel of Agricul-
ture Dr. Isidor Lubin of Labor

Tommy Corcoran atm pulls a
powerful oar in flu White Bouse
boat but there has been subtle
chanfe in tha young mans role
within recent weeks. Mr. Roose-
velt at last recognises that die
old-fashioned Democratic politi-
cos on and off Capitol Hill cannot
abide tha sight or thought of file
brain-truster.
Tommy no longer Influences
major policies or appointments.
His suggestions have been reject-
ed more often than they have
been accepted since the revolution
flared among Democrats in House
and Senate. He had only a small
part in framing tha ip-tending
bill although three of his pro
teges now in tha Treasunr Law-
yers Foley Hades and OConnell
drafted & But they Incorpo-
rated more of Margenthaus man
Corcorans ideas ana the secretary
of the toeasury never was espe-
cially fond of the ebullient Irish-
man. Mr. Corcoran is giving technical
and legal advice on questions only
remotely connected with politics.
He never appears on Capitol Hill
nor does he telephone members as
ha was wont to do before FDR
realised how unpopular ha was.

FLANS T ' '
James A. Farley can afford to
show more spunk and independ-
ence in his scheduled showdown
with President Roosevelt over
1940 according to the national
chairman's closest friends. For It
appears first Jim has file offer of
a fine job in file event he de-
cides to quit file political scene.
Jim has made no secret of the
fact that he could not break with
tha president even if circum-
stances necessitated a parting un-
less ha had tha assurance of a
private position. For him to walk
out end then sit around waiting
for something to turn up would
place him in a ridiculous light
For one filing the realization that
ha had become another member
of the greet army of the unem-
ployed would impair his political
influence. Nobody is forgotten so
quickly as a national chairman
unless ha pulls a Will Hays.
Washington hears that Mr. Far-
lay and Mr. Roosevelt did NOT
come to political gripe at their
Hyde Park conferences agreeing
politely to defer consideration of
critical problems until early Fall.
That suited Jim. If he does quit
FDR he wants to ha around to
what happens next It would
he file worst kind of strategy to
the field
sail for Europe and leave file 1
to file other man.
OVERHAUL
Several serious difficulties have
arisen to embarrass Harry Hop-

and Japanese articles in the
American market with South
American substitutes.
The toys dolls figurines and
similar curios involved in the
transaction must be add here at
a low price if they are to com-
mand a mass market It was in
this field that the Japanese Ger-
man and Czecho-Slovakian man-
ufacturers slated to be dispos-
sessed specialized. But the South
American products are the prod-
uct of handiwork in the homes
with women end children turning
them out slowly and laboriously.
The dolls and curios are museum
pieces rather than toys fit for
mass consumption appealing to
adults rather than to children.
Thera must be a virtual revolu-
tion in methods of manufacture
before the deal can be put over.

But a great financial
lomatlc stake is involved. It would
increase Latin purchasing power
for American goods and possibly
cement friendship! with our neigh-

to do the necessary namely over-
haul their system of production

SOS Series
Is Mystery
Jacksonville Fla. Aug. 8 (F)
Shipa and aircraft speeding on a
rescue miasion off the lower Flo-

day of a mystery ship which sent
out a fantastic series of distress
nesssges during the night -A
plane from the Miami coast
gaard scanned ealm seas more
than three home in the vicinity
of Key West one of fear posi-
tions given by the unidentified
radio operator whs reported his
vernal was afire and finking.
Coast guard officials at Jack-
sonville declared file whole inci-
dent stinks" citing many dis-
crepancies in file overnight mes-
sages but said they must con-
tinue their search.
Other sources also expressed
belief file signals might be a
hoax perpetrated by some ama-
teur. Direction finders failed to
locate the position from which
the messages were sent because
the signals were too erratic. Vigi-
lance however was not relaxed.
Various ocmmerical and coast
guard radio stations received the
name of the ship repeatedly as
Dunkwa but file only vessel reg
istered by that name a British
oil tanker was reported at Rotter-
dam. '
Lieut V. O. Johnson pilot of file
coast guard plane said he had
discovered no filing to indicate
whether the frequently incoherent
messages were based on fact or
fancy.
The first of several rescue ships
to reach the last position reported
was file fruit steamer Ceiba. Her
master radioed he found no sign
of a ship in distress.
Early today the sender of fin
SOS calls said tin crew had tok-
en to lifeboats and the craft was
sinking 90 miles southwest of
Miami.

Cotton Sale
Plan Dropped
Washington - Aug. 3 (F) Sen-
ator Byrnes (D) South Carolina
withdrew today legislation which
would have paced tha way for
cash sate at less than world
market prices of 176000 bates of
government-held cotton to foreign
countries.
He said it appeared impossible
to obtain House action this ses-
sion. France and Switzerland
had been named as probable buy
era.
Byrnes action came shortly
after the Senate accepted a
House amendment to a bill au-
thorizing file barter of 600000
bates of government-loan cotton
to Great Britain for 175000000
pounda of rubber. This action
cleared file way for the bill to
be sent to the White House.
As Byrnes explained the House
amendment cotton involved in
the barter would be sampled at
its present point of storage ex-
cept that the Commodity Credit
Corporation could move 300000
bates to coastal points.
