 LAUNCHED
Patrol Car Placed on 6Ial- fer Highway dt Order
 of Treasurer

Launching of campaign against speeding and reckless driving on the Glacier Highway was announc- ed today by Territorial Treasurer Oscar G. Olson, who said numerous complaints from drivers and from residents of the highway had prompted him to place patrol car on the road.
 The traffic enforcement will be in charge of J. B. Carlyle, Chief Enforcement Officer, whose liquor enforcement officers are vested with full authority for enforcement of all laws of the United States. the Territory and municipalities. Territorial statutes covering high- way regulations provide that the speed limit on the Glacier Highway and all highways outside incorpor- ated towns is 25 miles per hour for automobiles, 20 miles for small ltrucks, and IS miles for trucks weighing more than one ton. Stiff Penalties Penalties for infraction of the law are $50 for the first offense, $100 for the second and $200 and 30 days in jail for the third and each subsequent offense. The law provides also that ve- hieles must slow to speed of 12 miles an hour on curves and when passing a car from the opposite direction.
 Especially in this dusty season. Olson said, fast driving is men, ace to life as well as a nuisance to other drivers and to highway resi- dents.
 The patrol car was placed on the
 highway yesterday.

LONG TRIUMPHANT

BATON ROUGE, June 27--Tri- umphant at last in his tireless quest for state power, Earl Kemp Long today moved into the Gov ernorship and moved swiftly to re : habilitate and save the old Huey Long Political machine badly sha- ken by financial irregularity' charges claiming attention of the Federal authorities.
 The new State Chief Executive is a brother of the late King Fish and he promised there will be no letup to clean up the knotted poli- tical affairs in Louisiana.
 Long was sworn in late last night after the resignation of Gov. Rich ard Leche in the midst of further Federal scrutiny into WPA activi- ties. Leches term was only II months long.
 Ally at Side
 Longs staunch political ally and mentor, Mayor Robert Maestri of New Orleans, sat beside the new Governor as the latter outlined his plans for occupancy of the eubernatorial mansion Huey built ten years ago.
 Mayor Maestri is noted for his conservative administration of the states metropolis and this gave some hopes that the state affairs under Earl will be less tumultuous than under his older brothers rule

FARM BILL DYNAMITE GIVEN KID GLOVE
 HANDLING BY CONGRESS
By MORGAN M. BEATTY
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 27.-While you're following more sensational headlines, don't forget that Con- gress is struggling with a billion and a quarter dollars worth of farm legislation, and gradually working up the courage to bring it out into the open.
 No innocuous ball of legislative yarn is the farm bill of 1940. It contains political nitroglycerin ripe for explosion in the face of any one of the 4O0-odd congressman who go before their voters year hence And they know it!
 The farm bill technically has been in conference between the two houses for some weeks, which means each one has passed its own version of farm law The question is whether to devote 900- odd millions to assuaging the farmers grief (the more generous sentiment of the Senate). In the bill is a full-size sample of each of the nations five big problems that a congressman may have to face next year.
 l. Our economic hOt-box-
 which has been smoking for
 some 10 years. 2 Government spending. 3. Federal cOntr0is--mOre of them, or less?
 4. Our vanishing export mar ket-a study in salesmen's hard luck.
 5. Political h0eus-pOcus.
 Taking them in order:
 THE HOT BOX
 We have failed to get idle men and idle money together, as the President puts it. That means less income for everybody, including the farmers. Despite recent improve ments. A per cent of our popula- tion remains on the farm, but re- ceives - according to the Depart ment of Agriculture-only II pel

NOW JIM FARLEY VIEWED
 ASA JOHN ALDEN, BUT IN
 REVERSE; 3RD TERM ISSUE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 27.-A cur rent inner-circle story about Post master General Farley says that he went on his western tour to sound out party leaders on his own possi- bilities and ran into such a swell third term talk that his journey be- came almost torch parade for President Roosevelt.
 It turns the story of John Alden and Miles Standish into reverse. In that Pilgrim fable, John Alden went to the snow-decked cottage of the beautiful Priscilla to propose to her on behalf of his fighting friend Standish.
 Why don't you speak for your self, John," said Priscilla, and the young fellow backed out into the chill air, torn between loyalty to Standish and desire to ask the prize for himself.
 Democratic partisans insist Far ley took his western swing to see whether his own enormous popu- larity could be converted into state delegations to support him in bid for the presidential nomination. It was during an appearance in Ari- zona that he appears to have been left with the choice either of speak ing out for himself or re-affirming for President Roosevelt.
