The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-08

During his trip across Iowa, his campaign train passed through Waterloo, a good sized industrial center, and Cedar Falls, a col- lege town. Although only six or seven miles apart, talks had been scheduled and advertised for both places.
 Fn route some of the train managers decided to pass up Cedar Falls in order to permit longer stop at Waterloo. Howard Gallagher, train majordomo, gave these instructions to the engineer.
 To Arch McFarlane of Water loo, former Lieutenant Governor, this was poor political judg- ment. He insisted that to fail to stop in Cedar Falls would cause resentment. But the generalis- sinlos refused to listen. So Arch elbowed his way into Willkie's car and put the matter up to him.
 "You can't pass up Cedar Falls" McFarlane argued. "The town has gone Republican in every election in it's history, and the college has dismissed classes so the $500 students can hear yeu."
 "You are absolutely right, Arch" said Willkie. T won't disappoint those people. We'll stop. Tell them I said to ad- here to the original schedule"
 But by this time the train was rolling into the outskirts of Cedar Falls and it was too late to get word to the engineer. That didn't faze Willkie.
 The way to stop train," he grinned, "is to pull the air cord"
 A secretary reached up, jerked the cord, the train came to halt and Willkie made his scheduled talk.
 SENATORIAL FEUD
 The United States Senate, sometimes called a gentlemen's club, actually is rife with per- Sonal feuds-and usually between senators from the same state. For instance, Senator Bilbo of Mis- sissippi is no friend of Pat Har- rison from the same state; Serla- tor McCarran of Nevada has done his best to undercut statesmanlike Senator Pittman, also from Ne vada: while Rush Holt of West Virginia Sabotages Senator Nicely, the man who helped him get elected.
 But perhaps the bitterest feud has been between the two Sena- tors from Washing ton-Bone and Schwellenbach. Both Democrats, both New Dealers, they have fought each other tooth and nail. Federal. appointments have even been held up because of their irl- ability to agree on an appointee.
 The rivalry became so bitter that Senator Bone's political ma chine. headed by Saul Haas, threatened to oppose Schwellen- bach's reelection. And in the face of this opposition, Schwellen- bach is stepping out of the Sem ate to beces federal judge.
 This was expected to leave Senator Bone holding down his Senate seat in solitary splendOr.
 however, 1t now seems certain that Bone also will leave the Senate. He has been i'll, is fed up with legislative affairs, and expects to resign around Janu- ary l. His close political friend and supporter, Collector of Cus- toms Haas, has just arrived from Seattle to persuade him to change his mind. But he is not having much luck. It looks as # Bone would follow SchwclIen- bach back tO Washington.
 NOTE-If Bone returns to the practice of lfw, he may some day have to appear before his old rival, Judge echwellenbach.
