WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-Con- gress has gone a-polling.
 According to the longest memory of the oldest inhabitant, there never was a time when the Congressman were so eager to get the pulse of the electorate. Many of them have been away from their districts for a year or more. Public opinion is changing from week to week Election 1942 for all Representatives and a third of the Senate) is just around the corner. A misstep now may mean political disaster.
 So Congress, unable to get home and mend those political fences, is resorting to the poll.
 Back in the very earlier spring, I wrote story on one of the first congressmen to go a-polling. It was William T. Pheiffer, Representative of New York's sixteenth district. Dropping into his House seat when the fight on the Lend-Lease bill

TURKS FEAR

HitIer's 5 Demand of Use of Black Sea May Mean
 Attack on Oil Town
tBY ASSOCIATED PREss)

Turkey, the next door neighbor to Iran, whose invasion by the Russians and British has been ac- complished, today manifested in- creasing alarm at Germany's in- tentions.
 Well informed Axis quarters at Istanbul said Hitler has told Tur- key he may soon need the use of Turkish territorial waters in the Black Sea. This may meaN pos sible attack on the Soviet port of Baum, on the east coast of the Black Sea, end of the pipeline from the great Soviet Baku oil fields.
 These same quarters said that Hitler assured the Turks, however, that he had no other demands to make on them.
 This action apparently shows that Hitler is looking ahead to the day when his troops, which are now storming across the Dnieper River in lower Ukraine. will turn south around the Sea of Azov and march along the eastern shores of the Black Sea.

WASHINGTON = Several days ago the Merry Go Round revealed that chief objective of Lord Beaverbrook's visit was to get more tanks-tanks for Iran; tanks for Egypt, tanks eventually for an in vasion of the continent. Beaver brook particularly wanted the new powerful g tonners that soon will roll off the Chrysler assembly line at the rate of 450 month.
 It can now be revealed that the British Supply Minister will not go home empty handed. He will take back with him very cheering as- surances regarding the division of these tanks between the U. s. and British armed forces. But that isn't the end of his tank problem.
 Allotting tanks to the British in this country is one thing, but de- livering them across the Atlantic is another.
 In fact the problem of trans porting large numbers of 32-ton tanks is the toughest shipping problem maritime experts have faced since the magnetic mine, which ravaged shipping until the de-magnetizing devices were evolved.
 In nutshell here is the prob lem: For every shipload of light l2- ton tanks sent to England or A1rl- ca the same ship plus nearly three fourths of another ship would be required to transport the same number of 32-ton tanks. In other words they are bigger. Translated into specific figures-that 26-sh'p convoy which landed 560 light tanks at Alexandria three months ago would have had to consist of A vessels to carry the same num- Der of medium tanks.

 A personal message to Japa- nese Prime Minister Konoyc from President Roosevelt was personally delivered today by the President to Admiral No- mura, Japanese Ambassador to the United States.
 Japanese Ambassador Nomura went to the White House after a day of rapidly developing tension growing out of the conflict between the Japanese and American policies on the Pacific.
 At the White House, N0mura conferred with President Ro0- sevelt and also Secretary of State Cordcll Hull.
 Ambassador Nomura, follow ing tho conference and delivery to him of the Presidents per- sonal message to the Japanese Prime Minister, refused to ela- b0rate in reply to barrage of questions fired at him by re- pOrtcrs, or to even suggest what the message to k0n0ye con- tained.
 Before the conference, how ever, it was reported that Ann bassador NOmura would discuss with the President the strained relations between the two coun- tries, including the reported representations Japan had made to Russia and the United States protesting against shipments of American oil and other supplies to Russia via Vladiv0stok.
 Asked by reporters specifical- Iy whether the Presidents mes- sage to Konoye mentioned shipments to Russia, Ambassa- dor Nomura replied that he did not think so.

VERSAILLES, German Occupied France, Aug 28.-The Nazi police began a roundup today of members of the Anti-C Communist Legion to determine whether Paul Colette who late yesterday shot Pierre Laval, had accomplices within the legion's ranks.
 It was at mobilization of this very legion that Colette, posing as recruit, took a shot at pro-Nazi Laval and also Marcel Deat, old time appeaser, and two others.
 Red-haired Colette frankly told the Investigating Magistrate this morning that he was a follower of General De Gaulle and he was very glad that he shot the collaboration ists and politicians and wished he had killed them.
 Doctors are hopeful of saving the lives of both Laval and Deat, who have chest and arm wounds.
 A strong guard has been thrown around the barracks here where three Anti-Communist Legionnaires have been taken into custody. The three were carrying revolvers of the same type as Colette. The three have been condemned to death. They are Andre Brecht. electrician and former Secertary of the Communist Party; Deputy Emil Jean, militant Com munist, and Russian named Abra- ham Trzrbuche.
