The irony of the Smith-Ras-
kob-Shouse loneliness is that the
criticism which they originally
expressed is now generally ae-
cepted as being based on facts.
Their difficulty was that they
were too far in front Of the

Louis johnson may change

sop after he was bounced out
of the war department by Secre-
tary Stimson and President
Roosevelt. A hitherto unpub-
lished incident reveals why the
West Virginian resents the treat
ment accorded him:
When Harry Woodring was
ordered to hand in his resigna-
ton, he submitted II in such
haste that he was not available

in for his former chief, and also
requested to show up at the
White House an hour before

Louis, you're in the service.
You have got to stay on, even
though Woodring has gone"

hours, anyway" Louis agreed.
Make 1t As hours" urged F.

reason that you have told me,
not once but at least five times,
that I would become secretary
of war when Woodring quite"
F. d. r. frowned and answer
ed, yes, know. But certain
questions of politics have arisen
within the last few weeks which
make it impossible for me to
keep that promise"
Roosevelt's public reason for
placing Secretaries Stimson and
Knox in his cabinet--and keep

unity"

The Willkie people are jubi-

statements they will warn of this
sort of strategy. and attempt to
discount it far in advance.
The New Dealers already have
revealed that they intend to make
political capital out of expendi-
lures for national defense. In an
unprecedented move the office
of government reports has COM
piled and prepared for publication
a statement listing the amounts
of money disbursed in the various
states on the army and navy.
It consists of a summary OF
contract awards for the period
from June Is to July II Of this
year. and is only the first of a
series. Oddly enough, the larg-
est OUTLAWS have been made IN
states which normally vote Re
publican, although partial ex-
PLANTATION lies in the fact that
they make up the industrial sec
ton of the nation.
Here are the amounts which
have gone into the politically
powerful commemorative: New
York, $3.50. 900. 900; Pennsyl-
vania, $500, 900, 900; Ohio, S40,-

Figures of this sort have al

and navy departments if report
ers or researchers were suffi-
GENTLY interested to dig them
out. But this is the first time
that an official agency has de-
voted time and money to pre-
pairing an elaborate accounting
sheet. And the office of gov

The Republicans are doing
some fancy sidestepping to avoid
even the appearance of an alli-
ance with the Democrats who
organized the Inflated Liberty
Leagues attack upon the Roose-
welt administration. They will
welcome the votes of Smith,
Raskob and Shouse, but they
wish that the trio would confine
their support to the secrecy Of
the ballot box next November.
Nominee Willkie tipped OF
Republican strategy when he
eagerly grasped at the pledges
of John w. Hanes, Lewis Doug

PEsTILENCE ALWAYS
GOES WITH WAR
HELEN ]. NooNAN.

Editor The Times:-There was
time forty years ago when in
the interest of economy there
was an impetus to bring the
activities of humanity together
under one roof. The consolida-
tion of rural schools, the build
ing of large industrial plants
and large hospitals was the
result.
Now with the unmeasured pos
sibilities of rural identification,
the move from congested cities
back to the land Is a natural
swing of the pendulum. The re-
cent infantile paralysis scare
and the efforts to maintain an
isolation ward at the county
hospital has taught MS the de-
STABILITY of segregation.
Disease. pestilence and war
are an inseparable trinity. Now
that we are in the war and have
launched at top speed in the
building of arm a m is. we
should use our common judg-
ment in preparing to meet these
companions of war: pestilence
and disease. This will not be
accomplished by building bigger
and better hospitals. II will be
accomplihed by taking a new
direction in disqualification.
That direction will probably be
small suburban and rural CEN
tiers.
There Is almost nothing more
to be learned about the physical
body. But there is great deal
to be learned by the general
public about our subtle bodies.
These subtle bodies are the
thoughts and feelings that every
person carries with him every
day. Thought. feeling and the
etheric part of our physical
bodies is made up of matter too
fine for the average person to

significance for the Unite d
States. A serious earthquake in
Italy is foretold. while Japan
also will suffer from a violent
eruption. A British statesman
of wide fame will reach the close
of his career.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year OF
perplexities. Life may be more
than usually serious in its as
poets to men and women.
Children born on this day may
be highly intellectual and pos
sessed of remarkable memory.
They probably will be as modest
as they are talented, kindly and
lovable in nature.
