fore the average summer is over,
he will probably make one or two
trips back to Washington.
This Year-of all Years!
But the current summer isn't av-
erage, just as the last congressional
session wasn't average Since be-
fore Christmas the spectre of cleo
ton probably has hung over the
head of your legislator. His bench
men back home early began send
ing word of the rising opposition
forces that had to be combated
somehow. Elections are always
tougher for the incumbent; he must
defend his record against the chal-
lenger.
1t will be no wonder if your con-
gresham goes back to Washington
next winter thankful that his wa
cation" is over, because his cam
paign can be devastatingly tire
some. On parade before the voters
will be his personal appearance, his
family connections or lack of them,
his ability to tell jokes and play
the fiddle.
The wizened old heads at Wash
ington, who have held their jobs so
long that reelection is automatic,
shake their heads at this frantic
rummaging around after votes.
Says one:
IF those fellows were intelligent,
they would do their campaigning in
the off year. The voters haven't
nearly the depths of dumbness they
are credited with. They know they
are getting last-minute pat on the
back. Now, I figure 1 won this
years election last year. A good
many of my colleagues went fishing
during the summer. I spent two
months calling on the voters. They
appreciate it, and / expect a good
majority in November
Which is all easy enough to say
if you're a George Norris or Will
liam Borah, but it doesn't always
hold true. Many a congressman
has spent every summer at home
and given. unstintingly of his time
to keep the folks happy, yet his
troubles just keep growing. Maybe
he'll squeeze through the election
next November, but if he does
there'l be new crop of patronage
seekers on his trail. There'n also
be someone hanging around to make
sure he keeps those last few prom
ises he made against his better
judgment. &
Pretty nice, job like that!

speeches to make, picnics to
attend. And this year, to make
it worse, everybody in the
state except me is up for re-
election!"
Last winter Senator Doakes
received his quota of visitors
from home and most of them
went away from his office
muttering, "Pretty swell, job like
that" To which the senator will
agree; job like that is pretty swell,
if you can get it, if you can hold it,
and if it doesn't drive you crazy.
How It's Done.
It pays $4,000 a year and travel
ing expenses, but to get it you must
first invest a good many years of
your life shaking the right hands, in
vesting your money in the right
places and building up your political
prestige by winning series of mi
nor jobs. You must dive into the
rough-and-tumble school of local
politics to learn by bitter expert
ence what the taxpayers like and
what your political friends don't
like. You emerge a polished poll
tician, like the men who now hold
down our 96 seats in the senate and
our 435 seats in the house.
But a congressman or senator
does much more than hold down
his seat in the legislative chamber.
Indeed, no better refuge for a lazy
man could be imagined than sitting
through endless hours of debate
and filibusters. To keep the folks
back home happy (Which, after all,
is the important thing) our Ambas-
sador to Washington must tend to
that endless series of chores con-
corning Mrs. Jones' pension, Home
ville's WPA project and Jim Smiths
political job.
Answering his mail is in itself a
gigantic job for your congressman.
Each morning brings new parade
of protests, pleas and suggestions
from that army of helpful constitu-
ents who believe in writing to their
congressman" Next comes a glance
at the home district newspapers
which may or may not have knitted
him in the back last week. About
that time his secretary announces
the Peter Browns and their three
children, just in from home to look
around Washington. They thought
it would be nice to drop around and
see their congressman.
And, incidentally, he must appear
in congress occasionally to lift his
voice in praise of, or objection to, a
certain measure. Before speaking,
he must turn himself into an anna
teur brain truster, hustling to the
congressional library to arm him
self with facts and figures that mean
something.
This, then, is the life your Ambas-
sador to Washington leads while
congress is in session. If you worked
that hard, you'd need vacation,
which is what we were speaking of
above. But, as one homeward bound
lawmaker remarked this summer,
a congressman at ease is by no
means congressman taking it
easy. The first thing he must do
upon arriving home is call con-
ference of his advisers to discover
how the wind blows. From that
meeting is plotted definite course
he will follow during the summer

Effect of Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide has a far greater
effect than oxygen on the human
respiratory system. If the carbon
dioxide in a mans blood is in
creased by 3 per cent, his rate OF
breathing is doubled. If it is de-
creased by 8 per cent, says writ
er in Golfers Weekly, his breath
ing stops completely. Considerable
oxygen lack has its effects, but they
are not comparable with those OF
the slightest change in carbon di'
oxide.

WANT AUTONOMY
Czech Premier Repudiates
Hlinka Claim to Speak
for Minority.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BRATISLAVA, Czechoslovakia, June
Sin . fighting speech, cheered by a
great crowd, Premier Milan Hodza
today repudiated the claim of Father
Andreas Hlinka and his Slovakian
autonomist followers to speak in the
name Of this republics Slovakian
minority.
They can speak only for their
party" declared the Premier, himself
a Slovak. ''anc your presence here
waving his arm toward the cheering
crowds the best answer to what
they said here yesterday.
I'VE Of the republic declare to the
world that We are carrying on
we are solid and unshakable as rock.
We will not permit any one to destroy
our republic"
Premier Hodza threw the whole
weight Of his influence into efforts to
solve dangerous problems arising from
the demands of Father Hlinka's group
for Slovakian autonomy, another dis
ruptive factor added to the autonomy
agitations carried ON by Germanic.
Polish and Hungarian minorities.
The Premier arrived amid echoes Of
a hostile demonstration yesterday by
the Hlinka party, seeking TO answer
the autonomists' display by a more
powerful one for Czechoslovak unity.
Wearing a light gray suit and gray
felt hat, Premier Hodza spoke with
Tt,oro di0nitu
and assurance in his tones and deter
mination in every gesture.
You and I have been loyal to
each other until now" the Premier
told his hearers, and we will continue
to be loyal forever.
TT is true that black clouds hang
over the republic today. You have
gathered here at time when We must
ask ourselves whether we are capable
of maintaining our independence"
Here he was interrupted by shouts
of I'VE are! We are!"
There were moments" the Pre-
mier continued, when it was doubt
full whether we could maintain order
within our boundaries-whether we
could show ourselves worthy OF our
independence. We are q calm peo-
pie, but when the moment comes we
can show that We fear nothing and
nobody. Our peoples are heroic not
only in patience, but also in deter
mination. This has been recognized
by the great democracies Of Britain,
France and the United States"
How seriously Praha regards the sit
uation was indicated by the fact that
Premier Hodza found it necessary to-
interrupt his program of CONVERSE
tions with the other minority groups
in order to clarity, first of all, rela-
tions between the Czechs and Slovaks.
Until now government spokesmen
repeatedly have emphasized that the
problem Of satisfying other demands
for national minorities had nothing
to do with Czech-Slovak relations,
which have been harmonious

WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
FACE PIMPLES

These disfguring little spots often
result from a slight, temporary dis
turbance, or merely from incorrect
cleansing, or sometimes they are
moro persistent due to deeper in
lternal causes.
While properly treating the un-
derlying cause, you can relieve the
itchy, burning soreness and help
your skin by using an ointment that
will keep the medication in contact
with the pimply spots. Apply it
every night and leave it on all
night. It does world of good.
For more than 40 years people
have used Resinol Ointment to fill
this need. It soothes the irritation
and aids healing. 1t also treats the
oil pores where many surface pim-
Piles start. Washing first

Orders Severe Measures to
Bar Conflict Between
Aides and Italians.

b! the Associated Press.
HENDAYE, France, June 6.---Gen.
eralissimo Francisco Franco WIS re-
ported today to have ordered severe
measures to avoid open conflict be-
tween his Spanish insurgent officers
and their Blackshirt Italian allies.
Gen. Franco was said to have left
the eastern war front, where his
drive on Valencia was virtually halted
by government militiamen, to hold
hurried council of war at Burgos, seat
Of the insurgent government
The meeting was called, insurgent
sources said. following fights between
insurgent and Italian officers, the
most serious taking place at Malaga
and Zaragoza, where they engaged in
fisticuffs and exchanged revolver
shots week ago.
These sources said Gen. Franco
had ordered the arrest of a number
of his officers as an indication of
his continued friendship and CO.
operation with Italy, which has been
one of his heaviest hackers in the
civil war.
CTrayelers reaching Gibraltar
quoted insurgent officers as ex-
pressing fears that the Italians and
Germans intended to maintain a
military hold on the country when
the war ends)
Except for slight insurgent gains in
the Albocacer sector, the battle along
the 60-mile front from the mountains
east of Teruel to the Mediterranean
was stalemated.
Insurgent dispatches reported Gen.
Frances advance guard had advanced
to within 10 miles of Albocacer, key
to Castellon de la Plana and Valencia
in the southwark drive down the
coast.
This, however, would mean gain
of less than a mile in three days of
hand-to-hand fighting in the hills
northeast of the town.
Rebels Declared Halted.
Government dispatches said the in
surgent attack on Mora de Rubielos,
key to the Teruel- el-Mediterranean high
way on the western flank of the front,
was definitely halted.
A column attacking Mora from the
north has been held up 10 miles from
the town for three weeks, the dis
patches said, while one approaching
from the west has been blocked for
eight days at Valbona, miles from
