Penn Salt Has
Greenland Interests

The Herald clips the following from
the Merry go ROund" column in last
Sundays Detroit Free Press:
The problem Of defending the hemi-
sphere against attack from Greenland
is not 50 much in the hands Of the Stat e
or War Departments as in the hands
Of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacture
ing Co, Of Philadelphia.
This company takes about One-third
Of Greenland principal export crop
every year-a mineral called cryolite.
This is refined, then shipped to Amer
lean and Canadian manufacturers OF
aluminium. The rest of Greeniads cry
olite normally goes to Denmark for
distribution To Europe.
But this outlet now is cut Off, by
reason Of German occupation OF Den
mark and the Greenla nderS would
like to sell all their cryOlite in this
hemisphere. This would mean an IN
crea Sc from Is or 20 thousand tons to
their total production OF 80 thousand
tons.
A big, huLking blond named bshe
Brun, governor Of North Greenland. is
now discussing the matter with the
Pennsylvauia company. He came to
this country on the United States
Coast Guard cutter Campbell, together
with James X. PenfieId, new United
states consul to Greenland.
Note: Although denied by Brun.
there are obvious political ramifica
tons in the closer economic nes winch
will follow if the United States and
Canada take Greenlands entire cryO-
lie production.

ROBBERY

Approximately $50 worth of jew- elry and curios taken from Paul Bloedhorn's jewelry store window last night will probably prove worth less to the thief.
 According to the owner of the store, the merchandise, although valuable to jeweler, could not be disposed of by anyone else because of the nature of the stolen goods. The thief gained access to the jew elry store display by pushing out a piece of glass in the front window which had been cracked and, reach ing in through the hole, took several rings, some ivory curios, and a gold bracelet.
 Apparently the thief cut himself on the sharp edge of the glass, for blood stains were evident.
 Bloedhorn said this morning that the robbery was more of a nuisance than anything else. The value of the stolen goods is not what bothers me" he said, but it's the trouble of having a new window put in
 The jeweler said that this robbery was the first he has had in thirty years, the last being in Douglas when Bloedhorn had a store there

he wanted him for the Vice Presi- dentIaI post.
 The convention from the start was all Roosevelt, AIr. Smith related although his statement that he was not a candidate left the Alaska del- egation with but the one alterna- tive of voting for Mr Farley. It was evident that Mir. Roosevelt would be drafted However. the delegates did think they might have a choice on the vice presidential nomination. Tactics used by Hopkins ct al in forcing the Wallace nomination left a dark brown taste in the mouths of many of the delegates who didn't like the idea of being forced to do something. and there was eonsid- erable down right opposition to Wal lace. reported the delegate from the Third Division.
 #&#&
 MT. Smith didn't say SO. but one gets the idea that Agriculture Sec retary Wallace. now the vice presi- dential candidate. may be a bur den rather than a help to the Roose- welt ticket, although a great many are going to look at 1t as does Dele gate Anthony J Dimond. In a let ter to this writer, Mr. Dimond says.
 With respect to the office of Vice President, in the beginning I think that the Alaska delegates were all agreed that Speaker Bank head would be an admirable choice. Personally. I have the highest res pect for the really fine character and great ability Of Mr. Bankhead as well as a considerable measure of affectio nfor him. However. ear ly on Thursday word came that President Roosevelt desired to have Secretary Wallace as Vice President. As you know, there is nothing new in permitting the nominee for Pres ident to have the controlling voice in the nomination of Vice President. That course is frequently followed and is usually desirable as promot- ing efficiency and harmony. There fore, l deemed it my duty to cast the votes that l controlled for Secre- tary Wallace. rather than for Speaker Bankhead, although my personal inchnations were otherwise. So when Alaska was called on for the nomination of Vice President, l cast my own vote and the two proxies which I held, for Secretary Wallace, and the other Alaska votes were cast for Speaker Bankhead. To the best of my knowledge and
