Inner circle master minds con tinue to make no progress in per suading the President to revive the billion-dollar spend-lend bill turned down by congress last summer. With his ear attuned to the clamor for economy on Capitol Hill, Roose velt has turned his advisers down. But the confidential economic analy sis they have submitted to him is disquieting. On the basis of their estimates, the federal reserve production in dex, which was around 125 in Janu ary, will bog down to 80, or under, by July. This was th* low point it reached in May, 1938, at the tail- end of the 1937 slump, and before the big spending program of that year started another upward spiral. Cause of the current upset, ac cording to government experts, is “inventory liquidation” — that is, halting of production in order to work off piled up goods. Key signs of this depressive trend are: (1) the heavy drop in steel production, off 30 per cent in Febru ary and in many steel plants al ready under 50 per cent of capacity; (2) an equally marked curtailment in textiles; and (3) a sharp slowing down in the durable goods indus tries. Also the construction busi ness is back in the doldrums. Root Cause. Root cause of the present situa tion, the experts tell Roosevelt, goes back to the flush 1936-37 period when manufacturers “over - produced.” The huge inventories built up then were only partially liquidated in the 1938 pick-up, and when the facto ries, under the war stimulation of last fall, got into high gear again, inventories shot back up. Coming Slump. Basis of the experts’ forecast that the federal reserve index will sag to 80 by July is that there are no important factors on the horizon to halt the tailspin. They concede that exports, total ing $3,100,000,000 last year, will rise this year. Their estimates range from $700,000,000 to $1,500,000,000. But they contend that even if the maximum is reached, this will not be enough to offset the inventory liquidation which will run at around $4,000,000,000 for 1940. In other words, even should the pace of war orders accelerate, it would not be sufficient to induce a return to high production for many months to come. Roosevelt’s economists also point out that whatever war orders- do materialize will be limited to a few specialties—aircraft, chemicals, ma chinery, cotton—all with a relative ly small employment range. They will net large profits but won’t give “high consumption spending power.” This is where the New Dealers argue hardest for a new government spending program. They contend that only b)’ spreading money out widely, through farm benefits, WPA and PWA, can the slack be taken up. • . • MURPHY’S MYSTERY There’s a big mystery about bach elor Justice Frank Murphy. He will have a birthday next month, and the question is—how old will he be? There’s a lot of confusion about it. Some say 47, others 50. The un certainty arises because recent bi ographies, including Who’s Who, give 1893 as the year of his birth. Earlier records fix it in 1890. The question was raised by a Uni versity of Michigan professor who once taught Murphy, and who read an article about Murphy stating that he had graduated from Michigan in 1914 at the age of 21. Investigating, he found that the original date of birth was 1890 and that later it had been altered to 1893, spending three years in the “Lit” department and then transferring to Law, where he took a three-year course and was graduated in 1914. Note—The age of a Supreme court justice is most importanf, since it fixes the date upon which he can re tire at a pension of $20,000. • • • No Roosevelt Announcement. You can write it dow.* in the book that Roosevelt will make no an nouncement regarding a third term, probably not even five minutes be fore the Democratic national con vention opens July 15. Probably only after the question of his candidacy has gone to the floor of the convention will he indicate his willingness or unwillingness to run for a third term. And those closest to him these days are betting their money that his answer will be “Yes.” Kathleen Norris Says: There Are Ways of Holding Your Husband (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) Don’t be a nervous, suspicious, sensitive, injured shadow of Ted. Be a person yourself. That’s the way you won him and that’s the way you’ll win him back. By KATHLEEN NORRIS HEN a woman of 31, mar ried eight years and mother of a small daughter, begins to be afraid she is losing her hus band’s love, what can she do? “Perhaps I’m not very well,” writes Elinor Baker from a big Illi nois city, “but lately I seem to be afraid all the time that Ted will get tired of me and turn somewhere else. Our life and home and rela tionship seem suddenly to have lost luster, to have gone dull. I had a long bout with flu in Novem ber; I don’t seem to have gotten back strength or spirits. “Ted has formed the habit of go ing out a good deal without me. It’s all pleasant and affectionate enough, but the result is that I feel left out. My mother lives with us, and Ted is really fond of her, I know. She is a wonderful mother; the only one, he says, that he has ever known. The care of Ann and the housework are not too much for the two of us, whereas I really could not handle it all alone. And for sev eral years Ted seemed to be one of us, puttering about, planning things, doing his share. “But for the past few months it is different. I can’t deceive myself any longer. His interests and amuse ments are elsewhere. He enjoys his late breakfast Sunday morning, his paper and his romp with Ann in the old way. But at about noon he always has something to do. He must ‘see a man,’ or take someone somewhere. He and the car dis appear, and the next thing I hear is from the telephone. Ted and ‘some of the others’ are out at Billy Car ey’s. They want him to stay for dinner. What do I think? Do As You Like. “Of course I can only think one thing. But what I say is not what I think. I say ‘do as you like, dear.’ Then he begins to explain. Well, you see, if he comes home now, then there’s nobody to bring the Browns home. He’11 be early; it isn’t a par ty. And he comes in at about mid night. “Thn Billy Carey is a woman 40 years old at least; she isn’t a flirt. It isn’t that. She has a nice hus band and two grown boys, and a sort of farm, where everyone cooks and loafs about, playing dominoes or listening to the radio. It’s all safe enough, so far. But I hate Ted to find so much pleasure away from home, I hate it to disturb Mother, as it does, and we all miss him. Yet I couldn’t very well take Ann to these Saturday and Sunday affairs, and if I did it would leave my mother all alone. “It gives rne a hopeless sort of feeling, for Ted is a very attractive man, and even if some other woman doesn’t get him now, there are all the years ahead, when 1 simply don’t feel equal to holding him, or rather winning him over and over again. If I try to give an informal buffet supper here, somewhat on the order of the Billy Carey plan, it goes flat. If I go along with Ted I have a horrible feeling that they don’t want me. I’m always thinking that Moth er and Ann are at home, missing me, and that I’m not making any hit with Ted by going along with him. Worrying about it is making me lose sleep, and look 10 years old er than I am, so if you have any sug gestion do please send it to me, and I’ll be forever grateful.” Be Yourself. My suggestion, Elinor, would be that you stop trying to lead two lives. One is your own happy home life with a mother and daughter, which you are doing your best to ruin with fretted thoughts that Ted is having a better time than you are, and that you are losing Ted, and that you have to make yourself different if you hope to hold Ted. The other life is the life you try to share with him so halfheartedly. Hold That Man! C. It really isn’t the task it might seem, this “holding” your hus band, according to Kathleen Nor ris. C. The main reason that men seek “the other woman” is that wives become so tied up with home and household duties that they forget friend husband. And if they do remember him they take time to live only “half a life” v'ith him. C. But if the wife finds herself really neglected because some “charmer” has led her husband astray, she has two avenues of escape. C First she can ignore and for get all about this phase of her husband’s life, that is, let him go his way and wake up for him self some day, or she can go with him on his pleasure trips and throw herself into the spirit of things. This usually shows the erring husband that “the little wife” can be just as charming as anyone else. You go out to Billy Carey’s in body, but not in spirit. You watch Ted, rather than watching yourself. You secretly wish that you were back at home, where everything is comfort able, and you and Mother and Ann have so harmonious a time. Now, you’ll have to make up your mind to do one thing or another. One way would be to abandon all thought of Ted and his friends, as far as you are personally concerned. Rejoice that he has good times with them, and devote yourself complete ly to Ann and your mother—and, above all, to yourself. Get some simple, becoming frocks, do your hair a new way, read along some directed line of ftudy or take up a language; develop your own person ality so that everyone, and Ted in cluded, will notice a change in you. A brightening and quickening; a new interest in life and a new con tent. In other words, don’t be nerv ous, suspicious, sensitive, injured shadow of Ted. Be a person your self. That’s the way you won him, and tnat’s the way you’ll win him back. The second course, and to me the wiser one, would be to suggest to Ted some day that you go with him when he leaves on Saturday or Sun day. Go to Billy’s, or wherever else he goes, and instead of sitting mute and unhappy and ignored in a corner, pick out some one person in the group to whom to pay special attention. Be sure it is a neglected person. Find a game you two like to play. Or, if it is Billy’s mother, who is getting lunch ready for the crowd, just make yourself quietly useful, draw her into talk with you; forget yourself, and especially for get Ted, as much as you can. A New Course. Some years ago a quiet little neg lected wife on a noisy house party entered into conversation with the 12-year-old son of the house, who was equally overlooked. He had been given a rather elaborate game that he didn’t understand; she got him to bring it down, and studied the rules with him. Presently they began playing it, and a casual on looker joined them. The onlooker was the Ted type, and presently the group was gathered about watching. It wasn’t much, but it carried the mousey wife through one evening. She and the boy had planned a picnic for the next day. Lonely and shy, he was wild with excite ment over the idea of a beach lunch, a fire, chops to be broiled. One or two other guests asked if they might go; in the end they all went, and the quiet little woman managed the whole thing and gave orders and for got that she had ever been anything but the ringleader. This was the end of her “mousey” career. ATTERN AAAAAAAAAAAAA+AA.AA H THE QUESTION THAT’S DRIVING US MAD Problem Number One now facing all Americans is “How to Behave and What to Say” to the question, “Do you think Roosevelt wants a third term?” • • • The question is becoming irritat ing. It is driving many people mad to the point of violence^ A survey by this department shows that more people go around asking “Do you think Roosevelt wants a third term?’ than any other question, including “What time is it?” and “How is business?” • • • An Elmer Twitchell Poll shows the following interesting standing of leading questions as of the past week: “Do you think Roosevelt w. a. t. t.?” 11,546,789 “Did you ever see a win ter like this?” 8,785,432 “Do you think things are any better?” 5,935,824 “Do you think there is any chance of peace by spring over there?”. 5,436,890 “Am I lifting my head or is it my grip on tne club?” 1,456,233 • • • The interrogation is becoming a menace. It is getting on the nerves of America. The Twitchell Poll showed that 550,634 persons inter viewed last week favored bashing the head of the person asking the question; 134,588 favored throttling; 25,678 were for the use of firearms. • • • Mr. Twitchell thinks there will be wide bloodshed if something isn’t done about the matter. Always against violence, he believes the thing to do when anybody asks the question is to stare at the person in tently and make no reply at first. When the person repeats the ques tion he would answer: “Oh, I don’t know. You’ve got to remember that the Yanks are a terrific hitting club.” • • • But this course has its drawbacks. It foils the questioner, but is a strain on the other par ty. This column has asked some leading citizens what they now say when any body chirps, “Do you think Roose velt, etc.” John Hamilton: “I just say, ‘I’m all right; how are you feeling?’ ” A1 Smith: “My answer is always, Tt depends whether it’s on white or rye bread.’ ” Nicholas Murray Butler: “When anybody asks me ‘Do you think Roosevelt will run again?’ I just yawn and say, ‘I don’t know; I’m a stranger here myself.’ ” Congressman Dies: “I just ask questions, I don’t answer ’em.” Greta Garbo: “When anybody esk me if Roosevelt bane run again I always say, ‘No; Jimmy no want it any more; he is satisfied to stay in Hollywood.’ ” • • • So there you are. • • • HOLLYWOOD CHATTER “Looka, Marge. Here’s a pic ture of Queen Mary.” “Whaddaya know about that! She looks just like Edna May Oliver.” • • • “I hear M. G. M. is making a picture on ‘The Life of the Bee.’ ” “Yeah. But how are they go ing to work Tyrone Power into that one?” • • • Adolf, the dispatches say, has lost weight. That uniform he was never going to take off until Germany had won the war will present a serious problem. It’s pretty hard to take in the slack of a pair of pants when they’re still on the wearer. • • • When Hitler started the war he declared that he had put on his army uniform and would never re move it until Germany had won. It must be sticking to the skin a little now. • • • Mr. Chamberlain warns the Brit ish people that the war may start in earnest. We always had an idea this war might develop into a war. • • * THE REAL BLITZKRIEG The United States has an airplane that will fly seven miles a minute and carries a cannon and four ma chine guns. If it only had a lady with an open umbrella it would ter rorize ‘he world. • • • A federal agency is investigating insurance companies. Insurance men must have slowed up a lot.
