North Dakota's c. O. P. Chairman, Thomas Whalen, Townsend refused to open up the purse strings for Langer.
 Langer pulled through by close margin over former Representative William Lemke, an independent can- didate, but he didn't forget the slight When Townsend later came to him for favor, Langer paid him back with interest.
 This was during the bitter West Virginia Senatorial contest between Senator Joseph Roster. appointee of New Deal Governor Matthew Medley, and Clarence E. Martin, corporation attorney named by ex-Governor Homer A. Hot. Just before the vote, Senator Townsend, quietly lobbying for Martin, asked Langer for his vote. The North Dakotan bluntly refused and the following exchange took place:
 Townsend-"All the Republicans are going to vote for Martin" Langer-"I'm not. I'm going to vote for Roster"
 Townsend-"Why are you going to do that?"
 Langer-"You ought to know the answer to that, MT. Townsend. I'm not considered a Republican. You read me out of the party last year" Copyright. l94l, by United Feature Syndicate, Incl

An opportunity lot of Pacific Coast news papers have been yearning for in recent months came the way of the Seattle Post -Inteigencer last week.
 When launch full of reporters and photogra- phers from Seattle papers fired upon they approached the Sand Point naval aviation base, bent on getting pictures of the planes of the Russian mis- sion landed there, the Seattle morning paper found plenty to say about the way the navy conducting its public relations.
 In connection with the incident concerning the Russian fiers the P-I finally brought the navy to see their side-that no possible harm could stem from permitting photographs and interviews of the Russians.
 "On the contrary" the P-I declared in its edi- torial columns, "the navy, Russia, Britain, and everybody concerned, should want it to be known, especially to MT Hitler, that the United States is entering wholeheartedly into aid to Hiters enemies The visit of the Russians is merely step in that direction and publication of all the facts could not possibly give comfort. to the enemy"
 But back of the Sand Point outbreak, the P-I revealed a journalistic against navy restric- ton of news has been boiling up for some time The Seattle paper charged that at least half of the 5oOO00 people around Seattle are aware of certain naval moves and developments, and that these same bits of news have been made taboo by official declaration of the Navy Department and the British Admiralty.
 "The local navy authorities say they are operat- ing under strict orders from Washington" the P-I declared and it must be so since they could not possibly be so stupid under their own steam"
 The navy's public relations, prior to the time when Frank Knox became its secretary, were the highest of any branch of the military service the P-I next pointed out But the Seattle paper termed Knoxs efforts to obtain press censorship regarding navy moves "woefully misguided" At the same time it was said, the relations between press and army officials have been built up under Secretary Stimson ito an admirable degree"
 When the War Department has requested that news of troop movements to Alaska be withheld from publication the Seattle papers have respected and obeyed those requests it cited But when silly

SWEET REVENGE

Tall, stoop-shouldered William Langer is still "on probaton" as a member of the Senate, pending ac- tion on the charges of "unfitness' made against him by North Dakota political foes. But Langer already has settled one score growing out of his election.
 During his campaign last year he was unable to get any funds from the G. O. P. treasury. Langer ran on the Republican ticket, but he was considered outside the party fold by. some leaders because of his alliance with the Independent Non Partisan League css@ 44

Generous spending will mark the entire autumn, since many persons will feel that it is best to enjoy what is within their reach in a period of social an commercial changes Whatever con- tributes to the comfort of the home will be in demand as the American standard of living is widely appre- ciated.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Pride in the United States Navy and air forces will grow with the knowledge of achievements that demonstrate ef- ficiency and splendid development. Linlitless expansion of both brancH-; es of the service now will be advo- cated as the World War potentialis ties become generally recognized. The Army is to command special attention as its mechanical require ments prove the amazing ability of American men. Yankee ingenuity will be great asset in tank corps ;and artillery regiments.

Recently Vice-President Wallace was entertaining group of Latin Americans in his office, when a photographer was admitted to take a few shots.
 The Latins gathered around the Vice-President's desk and all was ready for the shooting, when sud- denly Wallace jumped up, dashed to one side, whipped comb from his pocket and tried to bring order to his unruly hair.
 The Latins were amused and de- lighted. The effort was of no avail. His hair remained unruly. But, said the Latin visitors, "El SC sentio mejor' (He felt better).

hundred years from now, there little doubt that
school children will be taught to memorZe that date
of the important their history books. Pages
will be devoted to recital of the Notwithstanding events
which took place during 1912 and how those events af
fected the future welbeng of hundreds of millions of
people in every corner of the globe.
But who face the coming of this historic year are
completely in the dark to what those 2042 history
books will say. We know that they will record suffering
prvaon and the most brutal clashing of nations
cordedbut hope they will also record the birth of
higher form of civilization and the end of war
Perhaps it is too much to hope that this war will end
in 1912 but there is every to believe that victory
will be rising the horizon before the year
ended We also expect that clearer peace pattern
will be worked out in 1912 that will begin to see the
rays of the dawn of better world which will come with
peace.
But every of us, during 1912 must squarely face
this fact: the history of 1912 will be what we make it

INDUSTRIAL HEADS
 TO DISCUSS HOMES
Tenancy of New Federal
 Projects Here Up for Discussion

Representatives of local industries engaged in defense production will confer with David T. McGrath, manager of the defense housing project on Hamilton avenue and Long Hill road, at a meeting next week.
 The discussion will revolve about the choice of families for tenancy in the new dwellings, for which al- ready 200 have applied. Also, any difficulties arising in connection with the new project will be de- bated in an attempt to resolve them.
 Chief applicants to date have been those families living in sub- standard homes, and out-of-town workers who have but recently moved to this city in order to avail i1emseiveS of the opportunities for employment here.
 A method for rental payments has already been fixed, and will oper- ate on a basis of 20 per cent of the tenants yearly earnings. Addition al charge will be made for the use of utilities, gas, light and water.
 MT. McGrath at present main- tains his headquarters on the sec- ond floor of the post office build ing, although the federal author ities in charge of the actual con- struction of the houses are now oc- cupying the administration build tngs at the building sites.

TANKS ARE BEING
 BUILT RAPIDLY
5000 Already Turned Out Thus Far; 30 Tanks
 Monthly in One Plant

Washington, Aug. 1-(UP)-De- fense officials said today that five newly-constructed plants have be- gun production of 27-ton medium tanks ahead of schedule. They esti- mated that the total output of medium and light tanks this year will total 5000 units.
 Three of the plants, which were not scheduled to begin production until this month, already are aver aging a total output of 30 tanks a month. Production figures for the other two, which did not start pro- duction until July 15, are not yet available.
 Officials estimated that the army will need at least 3,200 medium and light tanks for the four armored di- visions now in the field and the ad- ditional four that are under consid- eration.
 Each division will be comprised of 700 actvie units, including 300 light tanks and 100 medium tanks, in addition to replacements. This con- plement probably will be increased as production mounts.
 The Chrysler Motor Corp, De- troit; American Locomotive O., Schenectady, N. r.; and the Pull man Standard O., Hammond, H., have combined for the 30-a-month average. The Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chester, Pa, and the pressed Steel Car Co.,, Chicago, began pro- dudction in July. Another plant, the Lima, O., Locomotive Works, will begin production in November.
