O'ConneU MavRun for
 Senate in Montana NOiU
 That He Is 'Dear Jerry
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June '. Tn politics there is more than one way to butter a potato and thus it is that friends of Representative Jerry O'Connell of Montana believe he has received the White House nod to run against Senator Wheeler in 1940.
 It came about this way.
 One of the choice pieces of Fed eral spending in the west is Fort Peck reservoid on the Missouri River in Montana, called by scof- fers the "costliest duck pond in the world" New towns have been built up around it, an agricultural development is in prospect and besides that it helps open the Mis- souri to navigation.
 Early in 1887 O'Connell intro duced bill to authorize spending $6,000,000 to install power works at the dam. Part of the power would be used to pump irrigation water to tracts now desert. The bill made only random progress.

WASHINGTON, June T. - The House appropriations committee has approved establishment of weekly round trip air mail service from Se- attle to Juneau and suggested the proposed initial appropriation of $20000 be reduced to $100,000 on the ground that the lesser amount is enough to inaugurate and carry on the service during the next fis- cal year, starting July l.
 The $100,000 item is included in the deficiency appropriation bill. The committee presented it to the House, expressing the belief that postal revenues from the 960-mile route would never be much com- pared with the cost of operation. The committee said that neverthe- less the service would provide trans portation facilities and aid greatly the development of the vast Terri tory affected.
 Harllee Branch, Assistant Post master General, told the House ap- propriations committee that unusual expense was involved because the Air Commerce Bureau will not per- init operation of craft over the route with less than four engines which is expensive operation" He said he hoped to get the service going some time in the 1889 fiscal year.
 Eventually, and as quickly as possible, the government plans to extend service all the way up the Alaskan coast by way of Ketchikan and Juneau to Seward" Branch said, then switch the service which now runs from Juneau to Fairbanks over to the coast, thence from Seward by way of Anchorage to Fairbanks.
 The route will be flown the year around and money sought for the proposed new route already is ap- propriated for the foreign air mail service but authority is needed to apply it to Alaska.

THE WAY OF A BILL

Some weeks later Senator Wheeler introduced a similar bill in the Sen- ate and it made more rapid pro- gresS. It passed the Senate and Wheeler, who has campaigned long and often and is rarely caught with his hands in his pockets, promptly sent telegrams out to Montana to announce his success in getting the bill through the Senate. These things may sound casual to the layman but to the politician such an opportun- ity is like a summer rain on his crop of votes.
 The bill went over to the House and O'Connell got busy. By legis- latiye maneuver as simple as crack ing peanuts he had the Wheeler bill trimmed down until nothing much was left but the page numbers. o. Councils own bill then was substi- tuted for it, revised to suit the ad- ministration and the War Depart ment, the latter being in charge oi the reservoir building.
 In that form is passed but Wheeler let no grass grow under his type writer before sending out telegrams to Montana reporting that the bill had passed the House. Again when the President signed the bill Sena- tor Wheeler sent out telegrams and Montana was glad to know that $6,- 100000 was step nearer.

REMEMBER DEAR ALIEN?

But Representative O'Connell has been more popular with the admin istration than Senator Wheeler in late times, particularly since Wheel CT led the fight against the court bill. There was time in 1886 when O'Connell was mentioned as can didate for the senatorial job of Sen ator Murray but Murray also has his friends there, and back here, and O'Connell contented himself with another term in the House; waiting for crack at Wheeler in 1940.
 So far Wheeler had taken all the breaks on the For Peck affair, but what should turn up but a per- sonal letter from President Roose- welt to Representative OConnell It contained the pen with which
