 One of the greatest needs in this country is collective thinking and cooperative action. Today with Jr. national resources monopoIized by a few, our public lands exhausted our national debt running into the billions, no wonder there is a de- mand for a new vision and new methods. The constitutional guar anty of free speech, and the right of franchise is materially impaired when the citizen is deprived of an opportunity to assemble peacefully and to discuss vital questions. The fact that 80 per cent of our citi- zens are unalterably opposed to meddling in foreign affairs makes no difference to the miserable mic nority who place the welfare of foreign countries above that G1 their native land.
 Father Curran's pulpit is not con- fined to his church. A Catholic priests pulpit is anywhere he hap pens to be, preaching the word of God, and Christian brotherhood among men.
 There are groups and blocks in this country who would like to establish the European idea oi government in America. There are those who would like a Commu- nistic form of government, while others want dictatorship. Now be honest with us, MT. Kimball.

 For we can be sure that if we face life as 1t Is. accept it's limita- tons and its handlcaps, and yet with all It's disadvantages insist on mak. ing friends with t, we will find life more than willing to make friends with us.

 SECRETARY OF SUPPLY
 No. inner cricle choice for the proposed new cabinet post is Su-' preme Court Justice William O. Douglas.
 Young, tough minded and lib- eraI, he displayed unusual ex- ecutive ability during his two years as he ad of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, he is close to Roosevelt and has had no connection with the squabbles and disturbances that have racked the defense orr ganization.
 Personally, Douglas is content where he is. But last June, be- fore departing on his vacation, he indicated he was ready to give up his lifetime job on the Su- preme Court if the President summoned him.
 They were lunching together and as Douglas rose to leave, Roosevelt said: Have nic' time, Bill. And hold yourself in readiness for a possible change when you get back. I may have to call on you to step into the defense picture"
 sT'l be ready whenever you say the word, Mir. President" Douglas replied.

One story put tall. handsome Federal Security Administrator Paul McNutt in the lead. An- other said Roosevelt was serious ly considering Blair Bell, promi- nent Chicago attorney. A third gave the Justice Department to Assistant Attorney General Thur man Arnold, hard-hitting trust buster.
 But you can now write it down that the next Attorney General will be the man who has been acting Attorney Gen. eraI during the two months of delay, Solicitor General Fran cis Riddle.
 Also you can write it down that Biddle's successor as SOli- citor General will be Charles Fahy, who is now Assistant Solicitor General. Both appoint ments will be annOunced short ly.
 Francis Riddle, of the famous Philadelphia Riddles, was born in France, educated at 8 Quaker college, and first struck the New Deal limelight as chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. Elevated to one of the most im- portant judgeships in the ccun- try, the third Circuit Court of Appeals, he resigned to become Solicitor General, just as Robert P. Patterson resigned from the Second Circuit Court to become Under Secretary of War.
 Fahy got to know Riddle when both were on the National Labor Relations Board, Fahy as counsel. Georgia born, Fahy jumped from a Santa Fe, New Mexico, law practice to MT. Ickes' Interior De- partment, has been laying for various New Deal agencies ever since.

 Lieutenant Starbuck, kindly, courteous, wanted to put the naval rookie at ease. After sev- eral friendly questions, he asked: DO you still write dramatic criticisms, MT. .WinchelI?"
 "Yes-for The New York Mir ror."
 DO you remember the show at the Maxine Elliott Theater last year called Sea Dogs'?" asked Lieutenant Starbuck.
 ''Yes," replied Wincheli. "And I remember what I wrote about it. said, Its rotten"

NEW YORK, July 26.-The As

Auto output declined during the
week but the drop was far less than
seasonal. Manufacturers were said
to intend to hold production at a
high level right up to the end of this
month, which marks the end of the
model year, because of record retail
demand.
Residential building activity rose
Sharply with no sign of midsummer
letdown.
Electric power production hit a
new peak for weekly output but the
increase was about normal for this
season.
Total carloadings increased con-
ira -seasonally. A sharp boost in
coal shipments reflected the grow
ing tendency of consumers to stock
up early for the coming winter.
Steel mill activity increased slight
