TREASURER PRESTON LANE
Popular Preston Lane, who occu-
pies the adjoining office to Cash,
with the door practically never
closed between them, is unique
among party treasurers in that ne
believes in the influence Of ex-
ample rather than pTecept.
On the day Democratic head
quarters opened, few Baltimore
big shots ambled in to give the
place a Once-over and found Pres
porting over a brand new check
book. Asked one of the visiting
firemen: We'll, Mr.. Treasurer,
how goes it? Are you in the black
or the red?''
Neither replied the genial
treasurer Were in the pink!
And before we start out actively
soliciting money, I wish to say
we've already had one voluntary
check. It's not very big but it's
from man you'd never suspect
of giving anything"
"Yeah?" gasped the curious kid
derS "Who's If from %
why from a Hagerstown boy
by the name of Preston Lane!" re
piled the treasurer.
NOTE: Lanes unofficial assis
tant," Mrs Cecilia Cohen, was
Senator George Radcliffe'ss politi
cal major domo during the primar

for him that she was a logical Sc
lection to serve under the pro

Washington, Sept. 20. The
belatedly-publicized, chaotic con-
dition in Baltimore Republican
circles, first explained in this col
umn three weeks ago, is to be
.ironed out within a matter of days
And the pants-presser will be the
wealthy Sam Pryor, national Com
mitteeman from Connecticut who
has been designated by National
COP Chairman Joe Martin to
make peace among the warning
factions and put money in the
jeans of the impoverished Mary
land Elephant.
Already the two principal glad
iators Robert Bonnell of the non
partisan Maryland Committee and
Dave Tilghman, chairman of the
State Central Committee, in their
cross-purpose efforts to raise bad
ly needed funds, have beaten their
swords into ploughshares and sue
ceeded in raising about $4,000 be-
tween them.
Added to this is another $4,000
which Henry Duer, State COP
treasurer, has tossed into the kit
ty. All this and future funds will
be disbursed by Chairman Thigh

fXxyn n
ried visit to Baltimore by H. Fred
erick Willkie, the presidential
nominees Kentucky brother. The
only remaining politicos to be ap-
peased are Paul Robertson and
his man Friday, Wendell d. Allen,
who will be given some sort of
back-seat authority in the cam
paign.
Behind the scenes it was Mary
land National Committeeman o.
E. Weller and Fred Willkie who
kept the feud between Bonnell
and Tighman from breaking into
a public row. AS previously re-
ported in this column they took
the problem to national COP head
quarters and directly to Ernest
Weir, national treasurer.
In letter from Weller address
ed to Weir, on which the combined
talents of Fred Wilkes Weller,
Tilghman and Kirk Landon of the
Maryland Willkie Clubs were con-
centrated, Weir was mildly chas-
tised for giving Bonnell full author
ity in making financial collections
without having consulted State
Chairman Tilghman. Weir side
stepped answering the accusations
directly but referred them to Carl
ton Ketchum, assistant to the
chairman of the COP finance COM
mittee in New York.

Cash was among the first to give
unstinted praise to his former en-

superb job he did at the Baltimore

received special commentator

And it was Buck, strongly back

upon taking the large Lyric thea

Long-Range Timber Program

Result of Two-Yeor Study Is Placed
Before Congressional Committee

WASHINGTON A long-range
program for use and protection of
the nations greatest timber re-
serve in the Pacific Northwest was
recommended today in a study
made by the Charles Lathrop Pack
Forestry foundation.
The report, prepared by Bruce
Hoffman and based on a two-year
study. was placed before the joint
congressional committee on forest
ry for consideration in the prepa-
ration OF new forestry legislation
expected to be submitted to con-
gress next session.
The study dealt with special for
estry problems of the Douglas fir
region Of Oregon and Washington.
Hoffman urged expanded state and
federal cooperation with private in
dustry TO increase returns from the
forests and to improve forestry
practices.
Public Has Incentive

exploitation and toward a stable

Emerson. himself an Eagles
member. said:
ION July Is hand-picked COM
mittee Of the Fraternal Order Of
Eagles met at Olympia. at Cover
nor Martins behest. and passed a
resolution condemning Initiative
141, known as the Senior Citizens
Grants Act, which calls for $40
per month pension for all needy
elderly people past the age of IS.
Copies of this resolution were
sent to all local lodges of the
Eagles, with instructions not to
release same to the press until
July 81.
1T II significant that just
two days before, on July 20,
Governor Martin hypocriti-
caIiy announced his $40 per
month pension program.
II say hypocritically be-
cause Governor Martin steadi-
ly has refused 10 pay the $50
per month pension, In accord
ance with the laws written
and passed by the legislature
In 1887.
IF Governor Martin and this
old age pension committee, which
Is dominated by the governor, are
sincere In advocating $40 a month
pensions, they will support 1nitia-
tive 141. for. under this act, $40
per month pensions to all needy
persons past the age of IS are
mandatory.
However, this is Just the part
that Governor Martin objects TO.
AS member of the Fraternal

nitely that the action of this COM

ment of the Fraternal Order of

industry has been and still is the
backbone of development of the
region, and 1t Is necessary in the
public interest that some sound
solution OF the complicated forestry
problem be reached.
With the lumber industry suf-
fering from exceedingly perplexing
market problems, the owners of
large quantities of ripe timber face
very difficult task in planning
sound course for the future,
whether or not there is a desire to
try out forestry"
Taxes Problem
Hoffman said q review of the
lumber industry's past 20 years or
more reveals convincing evidence
of unsound financing" Federal
financing, through the Reconstruc-
ton Finance corporation, he said,
has 81 far done little in the region
for permanent help"
A major deterrent to develop
ment of Northwest timber Is the
present tax system, and the gen
eral uncertainty of the future aris-
ing from recognition that the re-
quirements of government steadily
are advancing" Hoffman said.
Labor costs are another factor to
be considered in any program of
forestry or long-term development
of the Northwest lumber industry,
he added. Hoffman pointed out
that the average wage rate has
risen TO something over rs cents
an hour, an increase Of % per cent
in 10 years, while average fob.
lumber prices have declined So to 81
per 1000 board feet.
Highest i'm Nation
Average hourly wages now paid
in the Pacific Northwest are the
highest in the history of the indus
try and the highest of any region in
the country" he said.
Wage and hour legislation, by
establishment of legal hours of
employment. has markedly increas-
I'D operating costs. and the long
term operator is faced with I'M
certainty concerning the effects of
future labor legislation on his
costs"
He pointed out that nearly half
of the Douglas fir forest region
is in public ownership. and urged
necessity for public and private CO.
operation in long-range forestry
program.
Need Stability
obviously" he said. the forest
service. state and other govern
mental agencies should have made
their general policies sufficiently
stable and clearly stated that pri-
vate capital can proceed with con-
fidence that reasonable and equit-
able land management will be the
underlying policy of government.
The government should be
equally clear in the disposal and
management of local units OF forest
property, so that industry can jus
tify investments for utilizing these
forests under some cooperative
agreement.
Authority for such agreements.
he pointed out. is contained in the
bill jointly sponsored by Sen.
Charles L. McNary. the Republican
vice presidential nominee, and Rep.
Wall DoNey, D. Miss. TO grant
authority TO the federal govern
ment for planned management of
public timber in conjunction with
adjacent private or state loans.

Further indications that the to-
tahtarian powers have abandoned
expectation Of quick blitzkrieg
victory this summer are contained
In reports from Rome that Italy
il preparing for a long term war.
Italian commentators say Italy
intends to invade Palestine next
year. and they likewise assert
major Italian military opera tons
in Africa will not begin until the
summer heat gives way to cooler
weather.
hussolini is preparing the 1tal-
Ian people in this way for continu-
alton of unimportant minor activi-
ties, instead of the combined Ger
manhattan push which had been
promised, to annihi1ate Great
Britain before the first Rnniver-
sary of the wars beginning.
There are reports, too, from
Berlin Of perplexity among the
German people at the apparent
condition of stalemate into
which the war In drifting.
The totalitarian leaders thus
gradually are being forced TO
face questioning attitude
among their followers.
This fact makes possible des-
perate attempt by Hitler to in
wade the British isles before next
months rough weather increases
the difficulties OF ferrying an army
across the channel and the North
sea All rules of military strategy
are against the success of an in
vasion, now that the British peo-
pie have had sufficient time to pre-
pare for it.
But, Hitler's trust in his
star has been absolute since
his successful invasion of the
Rhineland against German
military advice. when he first
came 10 power.
1t would appear from the re-
peated delays in starting the inva-
sion that this time Hitler has
been restrained by the German
high command; but he is subject to
sudden uncomfortable moods. and
1t still is possible that he may
peremptorily give the order to in
wade at any time. That is the rea-
son why Prime Minister Churchill
warned the British people last
week not to believe the danger Of
an attempted invasion has passed.
Were sane, military realism to
hold the decision. invasion might
now be written off. if for no other
reason than the nearness of
autumn tempests, imperilling Ger
many's cross-channel communica-
tons even though an invasion had
some preliminary success.
But. if Hitler brooks no re-
straint, and trusts TO his destiny
rather than military advice, ne will
drive his army through the choppy
channel waves. true to his promise
to try to snnihilate Great Britain
for rejecting his peace offer.

II must be emphasized that the
course OF political sentiment in the
next few months may be strongly
influenced by events abroad. In
the past, President Roosevelts
popularity has risen with the in
tensifying OF Europe's crises. This
was dramatically revealed this
spring, when Democratic party
strength rose from 81 per cent TO
IS per cent between mid-April and
mid-June, while Adolf Hitler was
carrying the blitzkrieg into Hol-
land, Belgium and France. The
curren, gains of the Republicans
coincide with a relative slackening
of the European conflict, as well
as with the nomination of Willkie.
The reader should bear in mind,
furthermore. that some margin OF
error is involved in every sampling
operation, no matter how carefully
conducted. due to the size of the
sample itself In the present sur
vey the statistical probabilities are
approximately % in 100 thar the
average error per state resulting
from the size of the sample will
not exceed per cent
Actually, in IL state. national
and local election surveys in which
the Institute has made forecasts
since 1885, the error from all
causes (cro~-section error as well
as error due to the size Of sample)
has averaged only 81 per cent.
