camp really knows where Jesse

camp really knows where Jesse stands.
 As Texan and conservative, the Garnerites believe Jesse pri- vately is with them. Certainly he is on the warmest personal terms with the vice president. Yet he has given no public sign that he is for him, and it's a good bet that he won't until Garner can show that he has l940 in the bag. SECRET CANDIDATE
 Real inside Is that Jesse has ambitions of his own There was a time when he dreamed of the White House, but that dream is over. He does, however, fancy himself as a vice presidential dark horse.
 Jesse Is too much of Q real- ist not to know that he is a long shot. But as long as there is a chance he is going to give it all the breaks he can. A ticket headed by Garner automatically would count Jesse out. Two Texans can't run on the same ticket.
 On the other hand Jesse is keeping close to Garner be- cause Cactus Jack would come in mighty handy in boosting Jesse into second place if his own boom fizzles.
 For a gangling Tennessee farm boy who got his start as @ day laborer in an uncle's lumber yard in Dallas Jesse has come 8 long way by speaking softly and at the right time. He IS hoping to do that again in 1940. Sixty-five years old 1t will be his last chance to realize a carefully nurtured am bition.

BILLY MtCANN
 IN PINK" AS
 FOURTH WEARS
Former Sta ble Mate of Freddie Steele and Hos-
 tak Has Sweet Left

Battlers in the big card a week from Tuesday night in the Coliseum are taking their training regularly in the Parochial school gym every evening.
 Billy McCann, main eventer for the card, matched with SIugger Weaver, is stepping into the spirit of the thing with vigorous exhibi- tions against various sparring part ners.
 Climaxing three rounds of stiff sparring sessions Saturday evening, Billy took on Clyde Lewis, 2lo- pound ex-junior champ of Montana, who will appear on the card paired with Joe Riley, of the eco camp, and even with giving 70 pounds, the clever welterweight fighter traded bloody noses with the big boy, which makes him about the only individual in Juneau with that distinction.
 McCann has shown real ability and terrific left hand in his gym workouts. He is fast and ''cute" and gives evidence of being an old hand at the game. After four years in the professional ring, Billy is being groomed for a crack at the big money in Seattle next year. A vet eran of 52 ring fights, he is in the best shape of his career after work ing hard for the past six weeks.
 In his division there is probably no one in Alaska who can beat him unless it be his opponent for the night of the third, Slugger Weaver.
 McCann has fought under four ex-middleweight champions, Gorilla Jones, Al Hostak, Solly Krieger and Freddie Steele. Steele is his favor ite and Billy duplicates the fast hard hitting aggressive tactics of his one time stablemate.
 A complete lineup of five bouts are scheduled for the card which prom ises to be the highlight ring show of Juneau's history.

EDITORS LOUD
 IN PRA!5E5 OF
 ALASKA CRUISE
NEA Convention Party Is Here Briefly on Way
 Back to Stafes

Describing their Alaska trip as the finest convention the National Editorial Association has ever held, 200 editors of newspapers through out the United States visited Ju- neau again briefly this morning southbound, the Aleutian docking for two hours at the Alaska Steam ship wharf.
 Since leaving Juneau 10 days ago, the editors have been to Seward, Anchorage, Matanuska. Mt McKin- lev Park, Fairbanks, Valdez, Cor dova, Sitka and Skagway.
 Skagway was the highlight of the entire trip, editors said, the resi- dents turning out 100 percent in days of '98 costumes and boards to show the visitors what Alaska was like during the gold rush.
 New officers of the NEA are to be elected "Wednesday, the last day be- fore the Aleutian reaches Seattle.
 Dimond Responsible
 Much credit for bringing the con- vention to Alaska goes to three men, w. H. Conrad, President of the NEA, Don Eek, Transportation Chairman, and Alaska Delegate An thony J. Dimond, who attended the associations winter meeting last year at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and worked untir- ingly to win the convention for AL aska.
 Dimond, as a representative of Gov. John w Troy who has been advocating an NEA cruise to Alaska for many years, cannot be given too much credit for bringing the editors to Alaska, members here said today. With Conrad and Eek, the other Alaska boosters, he put the invitation across in the face of stiff opposition from other sections.
 Conrad and Eek secuted out the trip last year, making special tour of Alaska planning the itinerary.

County Seat Masons
Will Sponsor A Play

isis Perkins," sparkling play of
romance, pathos and comedy, will be
staged by the Dramatic club of Pine

seat.
At the play given last Thursday
evening in the auditorium, Sis Per-

appeared and announced that she
would make her debut on April a.
The full cast has been selected for this
play and the players have been study
ing their parts for some time, as they
have had dramatic class meetings all
winter under the direction of Miss
Edith Robinson. The Dramatic club
is an adult education project
All rumors indicate that the play
will be huge success, as it is spon-
sored by the Masons who are already
busy selling tickets and advertising
the play in neighboring towns.
The action of the play takes place
in the ultra-smart atmosphere of the
Chandler residence in New York. Sue
Perkins is country girl from Mis-
souri,, and when she gets into the
social whirl of New York's elite So

Roumanian minister to France has
been raised to the rank of ambassador
/ To make Roumania's adherence to
an organization of democratic ma
tons all the more secure, the British
government early this week was pre-

same aid that had been pledged to
Poland.
Left Out.
Thus, four-poWer coalition of
democratic nations is about to be
born-Great Britain, France, Poland
and Roumania. It is their hope that
others will join, and that the dicta-
tors will sit up and take notice.
But, so far, Soviet Russia has again
been left out of the picture-that
one country which, in the case of a
crisis, is likely to become decisive
factor. The Moscow government has
been relegated to sort of back
ground position-not completely ig-
nored but kept in reserve, as it were,
for situation where it might be
needed. And the Soviet people can
didly say they do not like the state of
modesty which they have been forced
to maintain; they add that they do
not have much more faith in British
and French guarantees than they had
before Munich.
AS for the lineup of the dictator
nations against the democracies there
is not great deal to say: Germany
and Italy, of course, are upholding
their "axis," but Japan has not yet
been willing to strengthen it, as far
as military participation is concerned,
and while Francois Spain is happy
enough to join these other nations
in their socalled "anti-communist"
entente, it has shown no willingness
or desire to lend military aid. This
may be passing attitude-may be
changed when things in Spain be-
come more settled than they possibly
can be now, Immediately upon the
close of a frightful civil war.

the Spratly Islands to which France
claims ownership; there is nothing
important about these tiny coral reefs
except their location and their poten-
tial use as an airplane basis, but
France resents the action and may
"do something about it." What
remains to be seen.
Concerning fishing rights in the
waters of the northern part of East
Asia there have been many heated
controversies between Japan and
Soviet Russia, and at times it has
looked as though they could not be
settled without resort to war. Pa
tent diplomacy, however, succeeded
finally in adjusting the difficulties,
and the two powers signed agree
ments designed to grant mutual rights
and to maintain mutual respect for
such rights.
For the moment all is quiet along
the world front, except for the still
progressing and meagerly reported
war between China and Japan. Rus
STA and Japan agree peacefully on
settling controversial problem of
importance, and European statesmen
confine themselves to shouting across
the Channel and the continent to each
