Dimond last session It asked legislative action in preference to diplomatic agreements such as in effect at this time
 In addition to requesting Congress ito immediate ly appropriate sufficient funds to establish military air bases and other naval and military bases in Alaska that will insure it's adequate defense, the Legion went further on the Alaska program, recommending the establishment of air bases the Panama Hawaiian-Alaskan line of defense and contemplating the establishment of commercial air bases on Midway and Wake Island and possibly naval bases some Pacific Island to the south It also recommended adequate naval supply and repair bases convenient to areas of probable fleet operations the Western Pacific which naturally would include Alaska.
 great deal of credit is due the Alaska delegation to the convention, which headed by Clyde R. Ellis of Anchorage, for bringing to the attention of the national gathering the Alaska needs and winning favorable action. It is an outstanding achievement, and it cannot be overlooked that the Legion is one of the powerful organizations in national affairs today Its endorsement of Alaska projects be extremely helpful in bringing about favorable action.

 Under this configuration the counsel of the aged may be sought with profit. Experience counts for much under this direction of the stars.
 The Administration in Washing ton. D. C.. comes under a sway that is hazardous to gover n m n a agencies. Hidden forces are gaining power which will be directed against plans of the New Deal.
 Although this is the thirteenth of the month, it is an suspicious date for discussions, conferences and meetings.
 Distinguished visitors from for eign lands will increase in num- Der. Famous diplomats will be en- tertained in New York, San Fran cisco and Washington.
 The seers declare that might will win in many of the fall elections where national government machin- cry is operative, but there will he noteworthy independent victories.
 Women will do well to devote their attention to non-political or ganizations. They do not know how to play politics according to the rules of the game as established by men.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of success through prudent and enterprising efforts. Older persons will be help ful to the young.

"$30 Thursdays" Recede
(NeW York Tines)


 Reports from California indicate that Ham and Eggs" is not the steaminghot political dish it a month ago. When Sheridan Downey defeated Senator McAdoo in the primaries on a Townsend built platform to give everybody 50 "$30 every Thursday" the California State Treasury trembled So did many liberals who not quite liberal as MF Downey
 But politicians inclined to attribute MT McAdoos defeat other factors. Attendance at the pension plan meetings is falling off though the drive continues. Business men, farmers and State em- ployees well organized against it. and even the Communist and Socialist parties have formally demned it. State Senator Culbert L. Olson, Demo- cratic candidate for Governor is said to believe the scheme unavoidable and is expected to abandon it publicly. Editors point out that while many freak proposals have been put before the voters under the initiative method of direct legislation which has existed in California since 1912, none of them has been adopted Most newspaper observers find that the Ham and Eggs demand despite the tooth some pictures the campaign folders is waning.
 If the event confirms this view on November it will not be surprising. These movements especi- ally in California start like prairie fires and burn fiercely that they not unlikely to bring down cold showers of common sense. A check on the West Coast, where the field for pension uopians is most fertile, would tend to blight the crop all over the United States.
