Congress May Need Direction-
pRESIDENT EISENHOWER has great resjiect for the |
distinctive' and separate powers of congress and the judi-
ciary, the two branches which share with the executive the
responsibility of governing this nation.
This rejrard is not an academic thing with the president.
In his highly important relations with congress, he believes
the lawmakers should be left alone to perform their task.
“We propose, and after that it's up to them,” is the way
he puts it.
That is how Mr. Eisenhower reads the U. S. constitution.
He does not fear to exert leadership, as anyone can see who
studies the record of his behavior. He simply believes
that ordering congress to pass specific legislation is none of
his business.
THE president's interpretation of his responsibilities is not,
however, the only possible one. A good many chief
executives have believed that it was their duty to take a
strong hand with congress. These include Lincoln, Cleveland,
Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The idea behind their view is this: The president is the
only representative in the government of the entire Ameri-
can people, since they elect him. By the nature of his
office and the manner of his election, he is ideally suited to
stand for the national interest, above the broad array of
com{>eting local and regional pressures.
Conversely, the representatives and senators who make
up congress usually reflect narrower interests. Sometimes
they are veritable symbols of particular viewpoints. In any
event, they are always subject to tremendous pressures
from their district or state or region.
J^EFT to themselves, these men inevitably battle among
their fellows to achieve the goals sought by the people
back home. Congress falls into factions. The result can be
stalemate, or, after bitter warfare, the triumph of policies
not desired by all the people.
Some obseners are saying today that strong presidents
l^rship tm Capitol Hill is a necessity for these difficult
times, tnat'EWPe can be no effective party program unless
the president tries to enforce his legislative demands. They
argue that many lawmakers would welcome a show of
strength on this score, since it would give them excuse to
resist local pressures.
Mr. Eisenhower, possessing power and prestige such as
few presidents have enjoyed, chooses not to use them as he
imght. It is a fascinating experiment in restraint. Some
would say it is also a dangerous experiment. The test will be
in the years ahead* interest or the ,ocal inttTest triumphs

to that side, and saw two men
standing by the stables, staring at
him. They moved forward, and he
recognized both Abel and Higby.
Then a third man appeared, the
keeper of North Lodge. All of them
bud overcoats over their pajamas.
Who called you?" asked Mun-
.lering abruptly.
Fred Mason, from the lodge,”
said Abel promptly. “He heard a
car, and looked out of the window
—and then he saw two cars. Was
yours one of the cars?" There was
a hint almost of suspicion in Abel’s
manner, and Higby and the lodge
keeper appeared to be staring in-
tently, almost accusingly.
Mannering said: "Yes. The other
one got uway. I had a puncture.
Do you know what happened?"
“We know a ladder was taken
from tlie garage and left outside,”
said Abel. "But we don’t know
where they used It.”
Mannerlng told them what had
happened. They seemed dumb-
founded.
Abel broke the silence with a
soft: "Did they think she was Lady
Gloria, I wonder?”
Either he knew — or he was quick
on the uptake. MannerltiR realized
with a sense of shock ttiat there
was clear indication that the kid-
napers had not worked with any-
one inside the house. Abel. Higby
and anyone here could have told
the men that Mary wasn’t Gloria.
If it had been a case of mistaken
identity, then neither Abel nor Hig-
by was working with Fenner—and
probably Fenner hadn’t a spy in the
house.
We must tell the police,” said
Higby.
"I telephoned them,” said Man-
nering.
"Is there anything we can do?”
asked Abel.
Mannering said: "Yes, Abel. Look
for your dog - the dog that scared
Lady Oloria the other evening, and
also scared you. The dog has been
missing from your father's cottage
since this morning.”
For the first time. Mannering saw
Abel really taken aback.
^ Not—not Leo!" gasped Abel.
Yes, Leo. I saw him yesterday.
Hes got a wound, caused by a bul-
let — and someone had attended to
it,” said Mannering sharply.
”‘I—I can't believe it. I just can’t
believe that Leo would—" Abel broke
off.
Mannering said: "You can’t be-
lieve that he would have kept away
from you in the thicket, can you?
I find it hard to believe, too.”
Abel cleared his throat. “Mr. Man-
nering, I tell you truly, I didn’t
know. I still can’t believe that it’s
true, that Leo was that dog.”
“No doubt about it.”
_■ * * *
XTEXT morning, just after nine
o clock, Longley sent a message
asking Mannering to see him in the
library. The sergeant’s eyes were
clear, he had recovered from his
shock—but there was a cold, ac-
cusing aloofness in his manner.
“W'hJit were you doing out at two
o’clock, in the morning?” Longley
asked abruptly.
"IJidn’t I tell you? I was worried
at"’* it Lady Gloria and drove over
t® the cottage.”
rhat’s a fine story,” said Long-
le S , in a tone not far removed from
* sneer.

the gates closed. I gave chase, and
they put a bullet in my front wheel.
"I don’t like the way you’ve been
going on,” growled Longley. "If they
stopped you last night, why didn’t
they come back and finish you off?”
“I had a gun.”
‘ You’re pretty slick,” said Long-
ley, “but I don’t trust you — you
can get that Into your head, Mr.
Mannering.”
Mannerlng said: “You’ll find that
Bristow does, and that should en-
courage you. There’s Just a chance
that because I was out laat night,
the 8t. Madden people will trace
that car. There are other things, too.
The dog was in the grounds. I set
Abel. Higby and the lodge keeper
on to look for it.
Mannering went to breakfast.
Lorna was already at the table.
"What did Longley want?" she
asked.
"He thinks I’m the villain of the
piece.”
What’s he going to do?”
He knows he can’t do much.”
‘Was Mary mistaken for Oloria?”
Lorna asked.
"The question on everyone’s lips,”
said Mannering. "Darling, we don’t
know much about Fenner, but—”
“I know everything about Fen-
ner," said Lorna, with unexpected
sharpness.
"Oh. Everything?”
"Everything that matters. He’s
bad.”
_ • * *
A FTER breakfast he went up to
the library, but it was empty—
Longley might be at Uie telephone,
telling Bristow of his latest reasons
for suspecting Mannering. Manner-
ing went downstairs again, but
heard nothing from the switch-
board. Higby came out of the pas-
trsrmtrrtp tr mtt turret.
sage near It. and stopped In the
middle of a step when he saw Man-
nering, as if he were startled.
"Oood morning, air.”
“You had no luck last night, I’m
told," said Mannerlng.
"I’m afraid not. sir.” The foot-
man slipped past quietly.
Mannering had never heard him
raise his voice, and last night he
had shown admirable self-control.
Mannering pushed the door of the
cubby-hole containing the switch-
board. but it opened only a few
inches.
He put his head around the door.
Longley was sitting in front of
,thc switchboard, his head resting
on the little ledge in front of it, his
fingers touching the keys. Blood
turned his fair hair to crimson, and
dropped onto his hand and onto
the keys. He was still breathing.

Federal Credit Union System
Is a Success, Costs Nothing
WASHINGTON. May 19—(NEA)
I ™ —Probably tne only agency in
the government which is asking for
no appropriation for the next fis
cal year is the Bureau of Federal
Credit Unions in the Social Sec-
urity Administration. The reason
is that Director Claude R. Orchard
has brought the federal credit
union system to the point where it
is self-supporUng.
For the benefit of anyone not
entirely familiar with the Idea, it
might be explained that a credit
union is a cooperative organized
to promote thrift for its members.
From their combined savings, loans
are then made to the members at
interest rates of not over 1 per
cent a month on the unpaid bal-
ance. The average credit union rate
for the entire U. 8. is under 10 per
cent a year.
As few as seven people, employes
of the same plant or residents of
the same community, may form a
credit union. Membership costs 25
cents. To set up a union costs 984.
Of this. $25 is for the federal char-
ter, $35 for the elementary book-
keeping supplies, $4 for the treasur-
er's bond. The treasurer is the only
paid employe.
The charter comes from the Bu-
reau of Federal Credit Unions, and
that's how the U. 8. government
gets in on the act. The law es-
tablishing this system was passed
In 1934. Just after the bottom of
the depression was passed, to help
low-income groups over their fin
ancial hurdles.

United Press Staff Correspondent
TTOLLYWOOD, May 19. —(U.R)—
** There’s a reason for the bril-
liant performances muscled Burt
Lancaster turns out before the
cameras, according to the director.
Arthur Lubln. It’s because he
knows the why and wherefore of
each action.
"You can't have a moment's
mental lapse when you’re directing
Lancaster,” said Lubln, who re-
cently piloted the dynamic player
through Warner Brothers’ "South
Sea Paradise.” “He believes that
intelligence is more reliable than
instinct in playing a role, and that
everything a player does in a pic-
ture should have a logical expla-
nation.”
Lubin said he first learned of the
actor s challenging way early in
the filming of "South Sea Para-
dise” when Lancaster told him
“If I knew why you want me to
do the scene this way, I can play
it better.”
The veteran director admitted he
was a little taken back at first, but
soon grew to admire the brawny
star when he realized Lancaster’s
questions didn’t stem from idle
curiosity or stubbornness, but from
a desire to capture the feeling
behind each movement.
"Lancaster isn’t being stubborn
or difficult,’’ Lubin explains, “he is
an excellent dramatic craftsman.
He believes a characterization is
made up of many small parts—
words, expressions and gestures.
One false move may spoil the whole
effect.” ”
Lancaster’s attitude has given
rise to stories that he sometimes
is “difficult" to direct. But Lubin
is quick to contradict such stories
on the grounds that some people
didn’t realize he simply strives for
perfection.
"Sometimes it’s difficult to de-
scribe a mood or a wispy idea in
words, when he asks about a di-
rection I give,” said Lubin. “But
once he grasps the thought he'll
plunge in and do it all the better
than he could if he were uncertain.
'Give me a star like Lancaster
any day to one who takes direc-
tion like a lamb.”
THERE were 78 charters granted
I A that first year. Today there
are nearly 6300 federally chartered
unions in operation. They have 2.
800.000 members, total assets of
over $600 million and over $300
million out on loan to members
This represents about half of the
credit union business in the United
'States.
The federal government has paid
| out a total of $4 million in the past
17 years to get this system going.
That money won’t be paid back.
But it has been a good Investment
in teaching thrift and keeping low
income wage earners out of the
clutches of loan sharks.
Also, according to Mr. Orchard,
it has been of tremendous value in
teaching capitalism and promoting
responsibility among employes.
Shares in the credit union sell for
$5 apiece. The maximum savings
are usually $50 a month, or a $3000
total. The shareholders elect the
directors. The directors pass on the
loans.
There are dividends after the re-
serves of the local union have been
built up. But the main purpose of
the operation is for service to mem-
bers. not for profits.
The function of the federal gov-
ernment m all this is to audit the
accounts, supervise the opposition
and install new unions by granting
charters. In so doing, it runs a pri-
mary school of banking.
mHE law japs loans to members ,
must* be for provident'
or protective purposes, but that
has been pretty broadly interpret-
ed. Paying medical bills or making
house repairs fall naturally in that
definition. But so does money for a
vacation or a TV set. Check cash-
ing or purchasing for members are,
however, banned.
Unsecured loans may be made up
to $400. Secured loans are made for
larger amounts as the credit unions
grow stronger. The loss ratio for
the entire system has been only I
14/100 of 1 per cent—which is bet-
ter than most banks. Mr. Orchard
thinks it IS now strong enough to
operate through another depress-
ion without strain.
There have been some cases
where federal credit unions fail-
ed. One that went bust in a big
way was operated by a taxicab
owners’ association in New York.
It had a large number of Sing Sing *.
graduates in its membership.
When it is recalled that loan ‘
shark Interest rates run 3 1/2 per
cent a month, or 42 per cent a
year, the public service in the
credit union idea is better appre-
ciated.
