everything from looking for gold coal, iron and other minerals to organizing punitive expeditions for the extermination of illegal settlements of Russian peas- ants and natives at work in the vast Siberian zion near Alaska, Abend reports. He says out sders may live in this and that at least 80000 Chinese and Koreans have been deported westward to work railway projects.
 While there may be something in which Abend writes such have without doubt been mag nifed beyond their true perspective by the grapevine which carried the tdings from Siberia to Shanghai, where reporter hustng to write his daily stint gathered all the reports together and made story of them
 Probably Russia would like to have Alaska We know from events of the past year that Russia does not hesitate to move in on the neghbors when they undefended. Whether Russia would like to take the United States by sending expedition against Alaska is much to be doubted Certainly she won't when the present program of building defense bases in Alaska is carried through to completion We were mighty frightened about Russias intentions year ago. Now the likelihood of a Russian invasion be- comes less every day.
 We must continue to build up defenses in Alaska that no conqueror earth would dare to test. Mean while, relax. The Russians are still in Russia.

BLUE EYES

When Jesse Jones, big ,fawn- eyed Federal Loan Administrator, crosses the path of Congresswoman Jessie Sumner, from Illinois, it's like mix ing hydrogen and chlorine in the sunlight. The explosion is instan- taneous.
 Their feud, Capitol Hill classic, dates back to a hearing last year before the House Banking Commit tee. of which Miss Jessie Sumner is a rookie member. MT. Jesse Jones was testifying on an REC bill wher she began badgering him with pointed questions about his admin istrative ability.
 For minute Jones replied amia' bly,, but finally even he baked a the sizzling queries. Jones said noth ing, just sat looking at Miss Sumnel with a deadpan expression. Thi infuriated her. and slamming he hand on the table. she demanded that he be compelled to answer.
 Before anyone could say anything Jones rose and walked up to th' semi-circular bar at which the com mittee sat. He draped an arm ove the railing and looked squarely a Miss Sumner. My deepest apologies to fh'

The Honors in Asininity
(Chlcago Daily News)

Chicago Daily News)
 We had thought that the accolade for asininity in utterance concerning the transfer of American de- stroyers to Great Britain would automatically go- kudos for moonshine usually go-to tie Hon. Ham sweepstakes ~
 But spurious as the Fish bombast is it falls short of the delirous sopistry of Representative Martin Sweeney, who fulminated:
 If they (the American people, knew what was going behind the in Washington they would start revoution-not to overthrow but to preserve democracy"
 Now every word that MT. Sweeney uses is in the dictionary, and each word standing alone makes sense. But put together they mean nothing unless they mean that MT. Sweeney is a deliberate traitor to his country.
 If there goings-on in Washington, the know ledge of which would inspire a popular revolt, the people should have that Knowledge MT. Sweeney implies that he knows all about these shenanigans. Yet he does not take the people into his confidence He not tell them the dreadful facts that he feels they should know Why?
 If he has any facts of such horrendous import the press of the nation and the radio networks are his disposal It is his duty a citizen and as an elected representative of the people to make the facts known If he withholds them, he is guilty of the grav est crime of which an American can be guilty.
 Therefore the wreath of ocoweed goes to MT. Sweeney not to MT. Fish; and ancient and all- but forgotten wsecrack is revived and given new meaning:
 Tell it to Sweeney"

lady, he drawled. "To tell the truth, was so busy admiring the color of her eyes that I didn't hear her ques- ton. Will she be good enough to restate it?"
 The entire committee grinned. But Miss Sumner, angrier than ever, closed the incident by snap ping, Never mind"
 But she didn't forget. And recent ly when Jones again appeared before the committee on the $500, ,0OO, ,0O0 bill for trade loans to South Ameri- ca, Congresswoman Summer again began to shoot sizzlers at him Again Jones put on his exasperating Sphinx act and again Miss Sumner protested. This time, looking appeal ingly at the committee, Jones said MT. Chairman, the lady has nc grounds to protest against me. Ac- tually, I am the one to complain The lady has stolen my name, sht monopolizes my time and in the end will probably vote against me ask you-is that justice?"

WILLKIE IRONS OUT

That large delegation of National Committeeman and State Chairmen who pow-wowed with Wendell Will kie in Nashville got the promise of patronage for which they came.
 This q.t assurance came just as a lot of the boys" were becoming uneasy over what they considered marked coldness toward them in the inner Willkie command. This reached a point where the politicos finally demanded showdown. Hence the Nashville meeting.
 According to the private word being put out by the COP chiefs who attended, Willkie was very re- assuring
 He told us" they reported, "I am an organization Republican. Don't be worried because l have not been close to the organization during tht past few months, I wanted to gel into our camp all the Democrats anc Independents could. I want vol, to go home and emphasize that am a Republican, an organization

THE RUSSIAN MENACE TO ALASKA

Just about the time most people in Alaska are convinced the scare stories about possible Russian invasion of Alaska are much baloney, the rest of the United States beginning to get worked up about Red to this Territory The story has even impressed the effete East where newspapers are ing alarming of alleged Russian claims Alaska and alleged military preparations in Siberia to wrest the former Russian Colony away from the United States
 A sample of this editorial worrying which has attention is that by Col Eric Fisher Wood in the Bedford Pennsylvania Enquirer. Colonel Wood thinks of an invasion through Alaska that "it is not that we merely that it MAY be threatened tomorrow next year, but know that it is being menaced NOW at this very moment" This is an extreme view, which not many Aaskans will hold. Colonel Wood says that ever since the Red Revolution the official position of Soviet Russia has been that the sale of Alaska by Russia fraudulent tram saction perpetrated by dishonest and irresponsible arsocratc representatives of two captalistc states and that Alaska still rghtfully belongs to Russia The writer goes to mention the building of military air fields on inc Siberian mainland opposite Alaska naval maneuvers off the Siberian coast and the fortifica- ton of Big Diomede Island in Boring Strait all of which dire reports probably untrue
 Rulnors of Russian designs on Alaska have even stirred appfehensions in Shanghai, whence New Yor; Times correspondent Haett Abend reports that work ing in secrecy the Soviet Government during the years derorted all the natives from the Boring Cistlf and sent tens of thousands of trained young Soviet soldiers and workmen into this Far Northern area
 Abend urges that the United States Army and Navy should take alarm at military preparations in Siberia where he says fortresses have been built coast defense guns mounted. submarine bases are under construction arfields have been completed and ali foreigners vigorously excluded.
 Tn the opinion of military and naval men here (shangha' Abend writes this vast and secret mil- arv development mean only Soviet design against sparsely populated and poorly defended Alaska which was Russian territory before the United States bought it."

Willkie Must Decide
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

CleVeland Plain Dealer)
 Wendell L. Wflikie made it clear in his acceptance speech that he intended to conduct crusade not g political campaign He gave the nation every to believe that when he began his detailed discussion of the great issues confronting the American people he would speak without equivocs ting. So far as the internal affairs of the country concerned he has yet to slip from that high determination.
 But those who have expected from this kind Of candidate the bold attitude toward America s foreign affairs have thus far had for dis appointment. Candidate Willkie has begun to- cloud up the clear stand he took for American participation in world affairs before his nomination at Philadelphia
 The Willkie of September does not measure up to the Willke of last June when he asserts that he will never appease any dictator but adds in the next breath that he will lead the country into any European Such a statement assumes that the dicators will take only steps short of to gain their ends. This assumption became obsolete on Sep- tember l. 1889 Either this country is willing fight to preserve democracy is not It cannot be both and Wilke must decide which attitude he proposes to carry into the White House.

 Heart and Home: Social relations are we'll directed today which is most favorable for the making of new acquaintances. It is suspicious for freshmen who are entering col leges. Girls should benefit through association with groups engaged in work for preparedness. Nursing and chemical research are especially worth while at this time. House. keepers will find the stars helpful m all the domestic arts. The num- Der of divorce cases should decrease through the autumn.
 Busineys Affairs: Criticism of capitalism will retard the progress of state legislation and civic devel- opment in all sections of the coun- try. Education along economic lines will be effective in teaching young radicals facts that will help them ward practical achievements. Trade will continue good. Severe storms may cause losses in the Mid dle West and the Southwest. Credit should be wisely limited.
 National Issues: Accusations that iictatorial policies are gaining &C., ,eptance in the United States will >e widespread, but the demands of preparedness regimentation will prove that centralization of power md authority is imperative befere he end of the year. The contest for President will assume unusual phas- as as both candidates gain enthu- iastic supporters. Astrologers long nave foretold that experience in tatesmanship will weigh heavily in he decisions of voters.
 International Affairs: Mussolini

The sign en- cCuraging more caution than valor will ultimately cause severe dis agreements with Hitler. He is to anjoy temporary victories, but he may have reason to remember his own saying, ''The dictator who goes to war seldom signs the Peace"
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gain and happiness. Unexpected good luck will come to women. The young will attain their hearts desires.
 Children born on this day will be energetic, ambitious and deter mined. Proper training will assure distinctive success in the arts or sciences.

 The leaders add that Willkie gave them definitely to understand that it is his intention to have patronage handled by the party organization and not by the Willkie Clubs.

 SOLDIER CANDIDATE
 For dramatic contrast between opposing candidates, Montana s senatorial race. is in a class by it. self.
 Senator Burton K. Wheeler, vet eran isolationist Democrat and a leading foe of the military training bill, is being challenged by E. K. Cheadle, Jr., Lieutenant Colonel of the l63rd Infantry of the Montana National Guard. which under the new law has been ordered into ac- tive service for one year of inten- sive training. as
 Cheadle won the Republican nom- nation by a big majority over sev- eral rivals. But since then he has been unable to do practically any personal campaigning because of being on maneuvers with his regi- ment. Under. the recent executive order, he will shortly be mustered into full-time active service
 This is not disturbing Cheadle. He will not seek exemption and plans to let friends campaign for him. What he will do if elected he has not yet decided.
