PARTY HEADS
IN v. Va.

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, Aug.
24.-Rush D. Holt, Of Weston, 29
year-old Federal Senatorial nomi-
nee, and the State Democratic or
ganization were following diver
gent paths after a stormy meet
ing of the State committee here
yesterday, at which Robert G
Kelly Charleston attorney, was re
tanned as State chairman by 9
vote of 40 to 4.
Bitterly disputing the Kelly re-
tention and attacking him, Mr.
Holt announced he would put his
campaign into the hands OF my
good friends" including Senator
M. M. Neely, opponent of Mr..
Kelly and Governor H. G. Kump.
The latter spoke, defending Mr..
Kelly.
Mr.. Holt filed five charges
against Mr.. Kelly, including one
that Mr.. Kelly opposed him in the
primary campaign and likely
would oppose him at the election
and vote for Senator Hatfield"

less driving fine for her chauffeur

Elliott, colored, that he had been
exceeding the speed limit and
would have to put up SIS col
lateral.
Mrs. Byrd phoned Mayor Daniel

The Greek government has
said that Samuel insult may
stay in Greece until his health
improves, but that he must stay
in bed. Once he is well enough
to get out of bed, he must leave
the country, which will mean
that the United States can nab
him and bring him back for
trial. It looks as if Mr.. insult
were in fer a bad case of sheet
burn.
Staying in bed, if you are not
really sick, is likely to become
something Of a chore. I know
that it is considered a high form
Of Self-indulgence, and that
Mark Twain used to do all his
writing in bed, to say nothing of
ladies in pink swanS-down who,
threatened with a migraine, de-
eide "just to stay in bed all day."
And, in theory, it sounds great.
I, personally. can't take it,
however. I have tried, and have

Department of Education
Should Be Restored
RI .Jnn1oe r. WnZin11s. .Tr.

Public education throughout
the United States is urgently in
need today of that protection,
support and coordination which
only the Federal Government
can provide.
To meet it's responsibility for
public education, the Federal
Government must restore the
Department of Education at
Washington, which was estab-
lished in 1867, place at its head
the American best qualified to
be Secretary of Education that
President Roosevelt can find,
and give him a seat in the Pres
ident'S cabinet.
This is the finding of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee on
Education which made a most
comprehensive report on the
subject more than two years ago.
Sound Reasons
This representative body, Of
which the guiding genius was
the late DR.. Henry Suzzallo,
made an argument for the re-
establishment Of a Department
of Education which has yet to
be refuted. This argument, in
part, follows:
"This committee believes the
time has come to establish a
Federal headquarters for educG-
ton that should be competent
to meet the increasing national
responsibility for education in
rUnys that are consistent With
the policies and procedures
uUhich are essential to the main
tenance of a distinctiUely
American system of public edu-
cation.
"TO realize these policies
there must be in the Govern
ment, close to it's head cOoTdi-
nGtor, the Chief Executive,
spokesmGn for the American
spirit and method in education,
who may on all occasions eH-
press that enlightened public
opinion upon educational mat
ters which is our surest guide in
formulating public policy.
"Without an additional Off
Ger of equal status tOith all OF
the heads of all other depart
n1ents concerned, it WOuLd be
impossible to secure that OOLun-
tary cooperation from all de-
partments needed to integrGte
the educational resources of the
Government.
"No bureau chief or head of
a detached or Independent eS-
tablishment can haze that equal
access to the Chief Executive,
and that equality of approach
to the heads of all departments
concerned, essential to the ef-
fsctiUe total operation of edu-
cation in the Government"

Pay Cut Lessons for Touring Members of the H0us

The Government employees who did their stint yes
terday and doing it again today, hope that the
members Of the House of Representatives will enjoy
the little and very inexpensive trip they planning
to make soon to New York City and West Point.
THIS TRIP TO BE MADE BY A HUNDRED OR
MORE REPRESENTATIVES, SHOULD PROVE
BENEFICIAL TO THE NATION. IT UNDOUBT-
EDLY WILL GIVE THE REPRESENTATIVES, A
CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK OF

whoehearted manner in which Congress deals with the
needs of those who giving of their lives and abilities

I am sick, I have tO get up and

that, if I had one Of those tray

might be able to toy through a
meal in bed, but I have a lot Of

There may be some people,
therefore, who envy Mr.. insult
his enforced stay in bed. IF I
were in his place, however, I
think that I would get up and
get my clothes on and let the
United States take me home.

as Gordon Sinclair tells the
story. A mad fable of a blood
red lake far back in the green
hills puzzled the government
for years. Mesmerized men,
dying from voodoo, told doc.
tors that they were being killed
by the evil eye directed their
way by the magic eel of the
blood-red lake. The missionary
heard Of white ghosts who
chanted and moaned in the
dark, and Of vampires that
sang. He determined to find
the blood-red lake.
He found it. It was as red
as blood and surrounded by
trees that were all aglow with
orchids which gave off a lum-
inous simmer at night. He
took a swim in the lake and
was stricken down with burn
ing fever. For six weeks he
was delirious and his life was
barely saved.
From New Guinea, Sinclair
journeyed on to one Of the little
paradises of earth, the island
Of Bali, the island of enchant-
ment. Aloof and serene with
peace Of mind, long life and
contentment.
Bali is a land Of gorgeous
life, not sordid death: a land
Of romance, laughter and love,
Of languid ladies and proud,
hospitable men.
But you had better go soon
if you're going, Mr.. Sinclair
warns, for the tourists are con.
verging on Bali in droves. The
blight of self-consciousness
creeps in from the sea.
Covered with Gold
The first glimpse Of a fasci-
mating Borneo caught by young
Sinclair was a girl, barefoot,
with jingling banglets Of solid
gold about her ankles. The
women were literally covered
with gold-bracelets, anklets,
brooches, earrings. All gold coin,
British and American tens, Can
adian twenties.
From Borneo to that finger.
like slice of Asia called Malaga,
where lives a race Of formidable
"I'm the Boss Around Here"
sort Of women, who out-smart
the men and beat them up when
necessary. The women wear
silks of the most gorgeous col
ors found anywhere on earth,
and most of them have gold
rings in their noses.
The great Temple of Schuwe
Dagon, with its magnificent
golden shaft and its dozens of
golden Buddhas calmly survey
ing a troubled world: priests
sitting cross-legged on teak ia.
bleS preaching in excited stac-
cato outbursts. The great
courtyard of the temple.
And then the Road to Man
dalay. And finally the end Of
the trail-a high mound stud
ded with fluttering crimson
banners in crimson and gold.
The grave of an Afghan raider.
An inscription: What is writ
ten is written-and what are
all our cares and frets and
worries going to matter just
