Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff Met Late Banker on His Ar
 rival Tn Sitka Tn 1887

The Rev. A. P Kashevaroff, com menting on the death of B. M Behrends, said today: T met MT Behrends on his arrival in Sitka in 1887 to enter the employ of the Sitka Trading Company. was then a teacher and lay-reader for the Russian Orthodox Church. Sev- eral years later I came to Juneau and renewed my friendship with MT Behrends when he arrived here
 MT Behrends was of inestima- ble help to me in 1917 when the revolution in Russia cut off church finances. I was desperate. having a large family to support; so I went to MT. Behrends. He encouraged me, telling me that he knew could make a place for myself in some other field, and advising me to just forget about the money I owed him.
 My relations with MT. Behrends have always been of most congenial sort. His death shocks me beyond mere words, as I feel sure have lost the best friend ever had. In fact, B. M Behrends seemed more like a relative than just a friend to me"

lMcCrady Conceals Motiues
 for Interest in Labor Fight

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-There is some mystery about Assistant Labor Secretary McGrady's efforts to smooth out the row in organ ized labor over industrial vs. craft unionism Madame Secretary Per kins' chief trouble shooter-he is acting secretary incidentally, dur ing her absence in Europe-pro- fesses to be just friend of all parties to the intra- American Fed eration of Labor dispute, playing his own hand.
 Administration folk generally would raise their hands in shocked horror if anybody suggested the conflict in organized labor during a Presidential campaign was dis dressing them and prompting Me Grady's moves. They could ask with some show of reason, what politics" could be involved since both factions are Roosevelt.

Trade Charts Are Winning
 FauOr as Election Index
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Many politicians are almost as deeply interested in business charts these days as in polls and political war maps.
 Even in ordinary times, economic trends have their undeniable rela- tionship to politics After nearly seven years of upset and uncer- tainty, any material business change is bound to bring the politically minded instantly to the alert.
 About the facts of the present case there is little dispute. Not only have various recognized busi- ness indices shown a decided up- swing recently, but optimism about the immediate future is widespread In other words, business and poli- tics in general sees at least a pos sibility that the election will be held this year in the midst of something resembling a business boom
 What will be the result political ly? Many things are involved in the answer. For in this respect, as in almost every other, 1886 pre- sents peculiarities of its own.

 Washington's time was six min utes and 25.4 seconds, far behind the course and Olympic record of 6:00.8 which the Huskies set in We'd nesday's trials when they flashed a sensational spurt and overhauled the Britons in the last few strokes and won by scant half length.
 Water and weather conditions were bad today. however.

Political Significance Hasy

Political Significance HuSy
 As a matter of fact it would take the gifts of a seventh son of whole family of seventh sons to figure out all the political ifs" bearing on the Landon- Roosevelt Presidential race that might be involved. It is much easier to project speculation four years ahead and assay the possible repercussions of the Lewis Green collision on hopes of some labor leaders for a separate labor party with complete national ticket of it's own, by 1940.
 There can be little doubt that Major Berry, architect of the labor non-Partisan League committed to the Roosevelt candidacy, has such visions. He has said the big blow off in American politics was com ing about then. The Lewis-led at tempt right now in industrial un- ion organization of the steel in- dustry also may have some bearing on 1940 labor party maneuvering.

HELD TRUE IN PAST

HELD hOE IN FAOI
 The general rule in past years has been that prosperity, in what ever measure it abounds, helps the party in power.
 The Republicans made a great deal of that in the Mckinley days and in the Coolidge days. Every where among political philosophers the full dinner pail' has been rec ognized as one of the most effective political emblems ever devised.
 The theory is that when times are good or getting better, the vot- CT hesitates to make a change that he listens willingly to admo- nitions about changing horses in the middle of the stream, and is not impressed by arguments that someone else could do better job at Washington
 TWO SIDES TO ARGUMENT
 That is the theory and the ex- perience of the past, and many of the supporters of President Roose- welt rely heavily on it's applicabil- ity this year In effect, they be- lieve their ngest practical ground is to reiterate on every pos sible occasion MT. Roosevelt's own question to the voters of 1884 Are you. individually, better off today than you were before the advent of the New Deal?"
 No one denied at the time, and no one has denied since, that this campaign strategy was a powerful influence in the overwhelming Democratic victories of two years ago.
 As usual, however, there are two sides to the argument. Those who doubt whether the old rule will work out so well in 1886 note the following exceptions:
 In most past instances, the party benefitting by prosperity" issue has had the support of business.

Major Parties Concern
 That might be of very great con- cern to the major parties next elec- ton. Yet if such long distance prospect did alarm either party management, particularly the Dem ocrats, right now, the Lewis Green rift ought to lessen their concern, not increase it. Certainly the oust- ing from the A. F. of L. of dozen unions claiming third of the to- tai federation membership would not seem to brighten the chances for an independent and united la Dor political front four years hence.
 And presumably no final test be- tween the labor factions can come before the Federation's sovereign voice, it's November convention, speaks. That will be after elec- ton. It is strongly intimated, also, that no real test of the Lewis effort to unionize the steel mills will come before next spring. That is far beyond election day. None of these things offers any apparent "politi- cal" motive for McGrady's goings and comings.
