Where pOliticos all have mania
To leap hither and thence
Over each party fence
Whenever it enters their crania.
That's only one curious phase of
the Keystone states epic political
battle. which will be decided in the
primary election of May IT,
Both candidates for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination are
former Republicans. They are Gov.
George H Earle, who became
Democrat in 1882, and Mayor S.
Davis Wilson of Philadelphia, who
was elected to his present job as
Republican buts subsequently has
professed to be a nom partisan. They
seek the seat of a consistent COP.
man. Senator James J. Davis.
The probable Republican NOM
inee for the governorship-by far
the most important prize in this
race-is former Governor Clifford
Pnchot, an old Bull Mooser. He
is opposed by Judge Arthur James.
The Democratic candidates are
Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Kennedy,
Charles A. Jones of Pittsburgh and
former Attorney General Charles
J. Margiotti, who ran as a Repub-
lican four years ago but switched
his support to the Democrats and
subsequently was rewarded with a
Job in Governor Earle'S cabinet
and recently fired by Earle.
CLIO. Leader John l.. Lewis, who
insisted that the Democratic state
machine endorse Kennedy-a vice
president of the United Mine Work
ers-for governor and thereby pre-
cipitated the great Pennsylvania
Democratic split, used to be rated
a Republican and backed Hoover
against AL Smith in 1928. And
Lewis right-hand man, Philip Muir
ray. head of the Steel Workers
Organizing committee and active in
the Kennedy campaign, was at least
until recently registered Repub-
lican in Pittsburgh.
Boss Matt McCloSkey of Phil
adelphia, chief power behind the
Jones' Earle ticket, recently was
quoted by Senator Joe Guffey as
saying, Il used to be a Republican
and 1 can be a Republican again.
Guffey himself is a Democrat
from away back, although Andrew
Mellon, one Of the state COP
bosses, once underworld a guar
antee of $4,000 for him when the
government demanded the inter
est on some alien property funds
Joe had been holding.
Many other Pennsylvania poll
ticians, including Negro leaders
have found it advantageous to lear
the party fence since the Demo-
Gratis began to emerge from the
wilderness.
But all this is insignificant be-
side the Importance of the Lewis
bid for political power in the ma
TONS greatest industrial state
Lewis wants not only a labor gov
ernor for Pennsylvania, where until
a few years ago industrialists and
their Republican political allies helo
undisputed sway; he wants a voice
in the next Democratic nationa
convention. Pennsylvania will have
a bloc of 70 votes there
With his own governor in COM
mand of the state machine ans
with his ally, Guffey, operating
federal patronage and politics
there's no question that Lewis
would have such voice. The test
in Pennsylvania will indicate the
extent to which the CLIO. and its
political friends can make headway
elsewhere.

1t is the business of Harry L..
Hopkins. WPA administrator, to
pass money out rather than take
it in. He does receive some money
once in while, however, and 1t
is doubtful that he ever got a
more significant check that the
one he received recently from
Fred Hohner.
Fred Hohner is an unemployed
mechanic living in Newark, N. j.
In 1885 he got some help from the
WPA Since then he has not need
ed any help: but he never could
forget that he had had help when
he needed it, and so the other
day he set out to square the ac-
count.
He had SIP at the time-and no
Job. But he went down to post
office and bought money order
for S100, and then mailed it to
Hopkins.
MY money was getting so low
that if I hadn't paid it when did
I might have had no money to
pay" he explained. THE govern
ment did its best to me, and l
wanted to do my best to the gov
ernment.'
The obvious comment on all OF
this, of course, is that it is pity
that more people don't have the
same kind of conscience that Fred
Hohner has. Millions upon NIL
lions of people have been helped
by the government in the last five
or six years; only few have re-
membered to pay the government
after they got on their own feet
again.
That doesn't mean that most
people are ungrateful. 1t simply
means that very few of us evel
realize just what this government
o. ours really is.
1t isn't a thing which exists

Nays Mobile Repair
Facilities Are Held
In Need Of Additions
Admiral Bowen Reports
Expansion Is VitoI to
New Fleet Program

The Nays mobile repair facili-
ties now are taxed to their capacity,
and with the naval expansion pro-
gram additional facilities or more
funds for navy yard work must be
provided, Rear Admiral Harold G..
Bowen, chief of the Bureau of En-
cheering, said in his annual report
to the Secretary of the Navy, made
public today.
In an emergency, however, lack
Of mobile repair facilities might
seriously hamper the fleets long
range operations, naval officers say.
New program ships of the various
types embody many advances and
improvements in the field of marine
engineering, Admiral Bowen said.
"The Bureau of Engineering has
kept abreast of modern develop
ment in this respect" he reported,
land has incorporated in these ships
new machinery and new materials
best fitted for the exacting services
of units of the fleet. These i'm
prOVementS continue TO ref1ect en-
cheering progress which has re-
suited in much more effective YES
sells"
Although available funds are not
sufficient to permit completion of
all desirable items of work, Admiral
Bowen said, the condition of the
fleet from an engineering standpoint
continues to be generally satisfac-
tory because of thorough co-opera-
ton between navy yards and the
forces afloat, intelligent distribu-
ton of funds budgeted to the adj
ministrative commanders and con-
tinued use of the repair facilities
af1oat to their maximum capacity.
With this has been coupled

cedure on shipboard to minimize
the extent of damage to machinery
