BATTLING TITANS:

Secretary Ickes accused Vice
President Gamers campaign man.
ayers of talking like Republicans,
because the managers said that the
Wisconsin Democratic primary re-
suit showed third-terming to be a
poor bet. In the Wisconsin race,
Garner made stronger showing
against Roosevelt than was expect
ed, just as Dewey's striking victory,
over Senator Vandenberg, surprised
many. But old-line Democrats got
back at the pugnacious Ickes by
asking just when Honest Harold be-
came a Democrat, anyway. This
reminded Ickes that he used to be
a progressive Republican.
Postmaster Farley took a trip to
Texas, where he fraternized with
Garner enthusiasts, and everybody
seemed happy enough. Farley said
Garner was one of the great all
time Americans, and Garner did not
say very much in return. Farley
indicated that he still wanted to be
President, but there was talk of a
combination Garner-Farley ticket of
anti-New Dealish tendencies. Wen
dell Willkie, the Republican utilities
magnate, sometimes mentioned as
presidential timber, declared that he
didn't have a look-in, but that he
would take a nomination if it blew
his way. Willkie also indicated that
the present administration was out
to "get'' him, and kept a dossier
about him into the bargain.
Down in West Virginia, John Lew
is made the potent threat of third
party: that ever recurring phenome-
non of quadrennial American his
tory. Lewis sketched out not-so-
streamline vehicle consisting of Ne
groes, professional youth, PRO
fessionaI" old age, farmers, and la
borites, unless the Democratic par
ty snaps to attention and produces
an acceptable" platform. Landon
of Kansas said that it was Repub-
ican year, and Senator Wheeler Of
Montana said he was willing to run
for President, but not for vice presi-
dent. Wheeler ran for vice presi-
dent, on the LaFollette ticket, back
in 1924.
AS to Third Termism, the Presi-
dents wife and mother made state
ments that told-little or nothing.
Mrs. Roosevelt, senior, said she
would like to have Franklin home
again. Mrs. Roosevelt, junior,
cheered for Tradition. Definitely,
electoral-year chaos was on the in
crease.

COUNTING SHEEP:

Roosevelt told census-takers that
his income was more than $4,000,
while Senator Tobey continued to
attack the personal-financial census
data. He charged that some of the
census "snoopers" were commu-
nists, others the creditors of their
victims, and still more the enemies
of the well-to-do. Secretary Hop
kins, badgered on all fronts, had
sent forth 10000 of these so-called
creatures, to prey" on the esti-
mated 1875, 0O0,O00 Americans. Hop
kins told his census-takers to act po-
lite. How polite they would act with
Senator Tobey, remained to be seen.

Hull's economic weapon, of recipro-

is the extent to which the real dill

mass of misunderstanding, misrep-

The ambassadors speech, the most
notable British effort in recent
months to placate the Japanese, was
interpreted in diplomatic circles as
an extension into the far eastern
field of the diplomatic phase of the
European war.
It was expected to impress pro-
foundry the Japanese government
which would welcome any Britls>'
tendency TO lessen support for the
recognized Chinese government un-

believed it indicated willingness to

of over, the dangerous Allegheny Mts. Eight tunnels
will take up 5 per cent of its 19o-mile length. These
not only cut driving time by eliminating the winding
mountain roads, but overcome the winter hazards of
