T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the
United States Shipping Board, now on
the Atlantic bound for Europe, isn't
going to sell the Leviathan or any
other American flag ships to Old
World buyers. His parting word on
leaving New York was the assurance
that under no circumstances would
any vessel Of the United States lines
be transferred to anything but an
American company under a guaran-
tee to operate such vessel or vessels
| under the Stars and Stripes for 10
years. O'COnnor also left behind the
message that shake-ups in the tur-
bulent Shipping Board may be re-
garded as at an end-for the indefinite
future, anyhow. Gen. Dalton, the
new president of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, who was on the dock to
say bon voyage to "T. w." echoed
the chairman's assertion on that
score. O'Connor began life as long
shoremAn, and for years has been the
beloved and trusted leader of the
lockers fraternity in the United
States.
DIR. Hiram w. Evans. imperial wiz
ard of the Ku klux Khan. has been on
a speechmaking tour through Ala

of Senators Oscar Underwood and
tom" Heflin. 1--WE need to get away
from such men!" he shrieked. The
Alabamans at the meeting were not
surprised at the Khan mogul's attack
on Underwood, but they were not
aware that Cotton Tom" was in the
bad books of the Invisible Empire"
1t was their support of the World
Court that induced the imperial wiz
ard to open up his guns against the
Senators, who, he charged, had voted
to peddle away this country's liberty"
DR.. Evans limited that Khan vengeance
will be hurled, with fatal effect,
against Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima, in the approaching primary run
off, in the Palmetto State.

other day for Senator Butler. Hun.

Ohioan, the main speech of the day
(Butler's) having just been delivered.
Here, you fellows" shouted Tess.
You remind me of what President
Taft once said on a similar occasion.
He had just introduced as the next
speaker a veteran of the Civil War.
There didn't seem to be much anxiety
to hear the man, and the audience be-
gan to decamp. Wait a minute, said
Taft. This mans been through four
years of hell for you, and think you
might do as much for him.
