He was asked what he thought of
the Willkie-for President boom.
Il am lost IN admir- alton of the
technical skill with which it was
worked up," he said with a smile.
The Willkie boom has been hailed
as a spontaneous affair. However,

Gus doubts about the spontaneity.
Some of them insist it has been

Tooze of Oregon Persistent.
Mr.. Willkie was tackled by Walter
L. Tooze, head of the Oregon dele
cation, in hotel lobby. Mr.. Tooze
demanded to know Mr.. WILKES
position on reciprocal trade agree
ments
Mr.. Willkie said it was a moot
question under present war condi-
tions, but that the United States
must be in position to seek wider
international trade when the war is
over. Some Of the trade agreements,
he said, he did not approve. He left
the impression that bigger and bet
ter trade agreements could be made:
This did not satisfy Mr.. Tooze, who
demanded a yes or no answer. Mr..
Willkie finally agreed that he IA
vored the agreements "in principle" F."
Mr.. Tooze said the trade agree
ments were not liked in his part of
the country, and Mr.. Willkie coun-
tered with a statement that the
trade agreement principle had been
advocated by such important Re-
publicans in the past as James G.
Blaine, William Mckinley and Will

War Issues Expected
To Bring Out Huge
Feminine Vote
6. O. P. Womun Leaders
Count on VitoI Role
In Picking Candidate
By the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-Re-
publican woman leaders predicted
tonight that the coming presidential
campaign would feel the impact Of
the feminine vote as never before
because politics had come down to
the fundamental issue of war or
peace"
AS thousands of women, many
unknown to political old timers, ar
rived on the eve of the Republican
National Convention, Marion Mar
tin, director of the women's division.
declared women were more alert
to political issues than at any time
since they've had the vote.
Tariffs, farm problems, excess
profit taxes are distractions to the
feminine mind, Miss Martin ex-
planned, but when the talk gets
down to lis war ahead?";; "is this
Government becoming a one-man
show?" and what became of the
money!" then women get interested.
Miss Martin predicted the 300
women among the conventions 1000
delegates and alternates would have
their say on the choice OF candi-
dates and influence the platform.
The issues now are more COM
pelllng as far as women are con-
cerned than they have been in
the previous two decades-since
women got the vote 20 years ago."
continued Miss Martin.
Women did not have the vote in
the crisis before the last World War,
but Miss Martin declared they will
use it now with political foresight.
Through small but increased per-
centages OF some State delegations,
backed by the fact that about half
the voting population is women,
the feminine sex will influence the
political trend, Miss Martin said.
She reported that in pre-conven-
ton tours she found women think
ing not in terms of isolation, but

Pkoionxes Of Fish
WITH the coming OF spring, the
mature salmon, ranging from two to
|six years in age, know by the mysteri-
GUS law of their being that the time
has come for them to spawn. But their
spawning places are inland and far
distant from their ocean habitat. Un-
erringly, from the remote corners of
the sea, they start their annual drive
shoreward, great tumbling, crowding,
unceasing phalanxes of fish, making
for the fresh water streams where they
were born, sometimes more than 1000

salmon depends. 1t will be at its
height in July and August, and the
boats. the nets, the men, and the fac
tories are ready for them. The salmon
must be caught before they enter fresh
water. for now they are in perfect con-
dltion; but once they have left the salt
water. they will not eat again. They
will grow thin and tired until, by the
time they have reached their goal,
they have strength only to lay their
eggs
Since another mysterious law of the
salmon's nature forbids him ever to
turn corner, the salmon fishermen
have been able to devise ingenious
nets into which the great fish swim
