had taken a seat in the higher body

forces in that body. Senator Kathan
worked for and VOTED for the pas
sage Of the following labor measures:

mention.
In the 26th session (1939) Senator
Kathan again voted for the above bills
which had again been introduced.
Most of his time in this session was
taken up in conducting the investiga-

speaks highly of the esteem in which
Senator Kathan was held by his as
sociates, that the resolution demand

chairman. AS result of his investi-
cation, many of the existing evils
were rectified, and it may be that
his desire to completely eradicate cor
ruption from the liquor set-up, has
motivated his candidacy for governor
Whatever his reason for entering
the lists, I can only say that in Sen

one who will listen to their problems
with sympathetic ear, and one who
will not let them down in time of
need.

During the 5-year period 1933-37 in
elusive there was not one serious
wreck on U. S. railroads. Since 1887
there have been four major wrecks
including the Little Falls crash, and a
number of minor ones. The death
toll in the 2-year period has run to
more than ITO.
1t would be inaccurate to attribute
all of these wrecks to the railroads
economy policy. AT least one was
known to be the result of malicious
sabotage. But it may also be mac
curate, railroad men say, for the New

CHICAGO, July 27.-President
Byron T. Shutz of the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America
today urged all persons who have
been contemplating the construc-
ton or purchase of their homes to
do so at once. At the same time
he warned that many skilled work.
ers in the building industry will be
absorbed in the national defense
program, thus creating a shortage
of workers available for private
construction activity.
Mr.. ShutZ pointed out that for
the first six months of 1910 the
construction of dwellings has in
creased approximately 8 per cent
as compared with the same period
for 1899.
Conditions have never been more
favorable for building home than
at present." Mr.. Shutz said There
is an ample supply of private capital
available for home construction.
Those persons considering the pur-
chase of existing homes can buy
them at the most favorable terms
ever available. Long term credit
and low, convenient monthly pay
ments make it possible for virtually
every one to own his own home.
Recent surveys by Government
agencies show that despite the Eu-
ropean war, costs involved in the
construction of a standard six-room
house have decreased slightly rather
than increased. However, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether this trend
will continue for long"

NEW YORK, July ga hand
full OF stocks, with steels and motors
in front, put on a brief rallying
furry in today's market after pro-
nounced early hesitancy.
The runup came in the wake OF
this weeks official steel production
estimate placing mill operations
ahead % points at 90.4 per cent
OF capacity, a new peak since last
December. The increase was a bit
more than had been expected.
At the best favorites registered
gains Of to points, with Chrysler
jumping 4. There was some let
down after the bulge. and dealings
quoted. Quotations then hardened
near the close, and scattered issues
ended at or near the top. MANY
stocks fingered behind minus signs.
Transfers were in the vicinity Of
250,000 shares.
Aside from the optimistic slant on
steel output, traders generally had
the idea the market was pretty we'll
hquidated, with good chance Of
turning. In ADDITION, Wall Street
seemed cheered by the apparent
strong resistance of the British to
German air raids, although tre war
picture still was far from clear. Tay
and political problems renamed as
speculative handicaps.
In the advancing group at one
time or another were United States
Steel, Youngstown Sheet. Chry sler,
General Motors, Crown Cork. Con-
solidated Edison, Eastman Kodak,
Kennecott, General Electric, Great
Northern, North American and
Southern Railway.
Backward most OF the day were
United Aircraft, Sperry, Standard
Oil of New Jersey, Sears Roebuck
and Loft.
A prop in sentiment was seen in
expanding demand for copper, the

Europe's Food Supply
Ample # Distributed, ,
U. 5. Officials Say
Ability to Spread 1t
And Avert Hunger Is
Doubted, However
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
l. Europe's food supplies are pro
portionately distributed" during the
coming fall and winter, the Agricul-
ture Department forecast today,
there will be no abnormal shortage
and certainly no widespread star
vation."
1t raised the question, however,
as to whether available supplies
could be distributed so as to pre-
vent hunger.
Communications have been dis
rupted, distribution disorganized
and people in great numbers have
left their homes" said a report is
sued by the departments foreign
service.
Invaders Live on Land.
'In the larger cities of the re-
cently-invaded countries and in
other areas where refugees are
gathered, food supplies soon may be
inadequate. Even where food sup
plies are for sale, economic disloca-
ton leaves many without the money
to buy. The situation is further ag-
gravated by the fact that the armies
of occupation will subsist largely if
not wholly on the supplies of the in
vaded countries"
The report said that continental
European supplies of the bread
grains-wheat and rye-appear to
be between 5 and 10 per cent below
peacetime requirements. This years
crops apparently will be Is per cent
below normal However, fairly large
reserves in Germany and Italy, the
department said, would tend to Of
set the smaller production.
The department said that in Gen.
trail and Northern Europe a normal
or better crop of potatoes would
supplement broad grain supplies.
In Southeast Europe better than
normal corn crop was indicated
Normal or better crops of vegetables
were forecast, but fruit production
was described as not bright.
Animal Feed Short.
An acute shortage in animal feed
supplies was forecast. The depart
ment said such supplies may be Is
per cent below requirements. Den
mark, the Netherlands and parts of
Germany, areas which depend
heavily on imports, would feel the
effects of a shortage in feed con-
centrates, the report said.
The report estimated the aggre-
gate fat supply for Europe this
winter probably will be Is per cent
short of needs.

Colors to Heat Homes

Did you know that colors can
be warm or cold, that some colors
absorb and radiate heat? A Cali
fornian expert, w. F. Alder, has
produced a new paint which alb
serbs great heat, and then radi-
ates it. He tested two Steamboat
ed cubes of polished copper, one
of which was painted with his
compound. This was found 10
have a temperature of 10 degrees
Centigrade more than the unpaint-
ed cube.
Trunks of fruit trees were paint
ed with this mixture, and during a
spell of severe weather they de-
fed frost. So in the near future
we may be able to partially heat
our homes with paint.

Learning How to Pitch

The time had come when he had
to do more than just rear back,
stretch out and whip that firebaH at
the hitters. The old blaze had died
out in his fast ball. He couldn't fool
the hitters with it any more. He had
to do something he hadn't done be-
fore. He had to stop and think
to study the hitters and develop a
curve ball, a change of pace ball
and a slow ball and brush up on
his control. And when he had done
all that, he was a pitcher real
pitcher.
Some day we're going to look back
at this fellow-and start to tell the
younger fans who never saw him
what a great pitcher he was. Let's
pause now and take good look at
him. Up to now he has led the
American league four times in vic
tories, seven times in strikeouts-
and nine times In the average of
earned runs allowed.
More important is the fact that
when the Red Sox set out again this
year in pursuit of the Yankees their
mainstay in the box will be Nose
