WHEELER vs. LINDBERGH

One man particularly interested in Lindbergh's presidential ambi- tions is Senator Burt Wheeler, who considers himself the No. 1 foe of the Presidents anti-Axis policies
 Wheeler has strong White House yearnings of his own; in fact, he has had them since 1924 when he ran on a trump ticket with the late elder Senator Bob LaFollette. Again in 1892 Wheeler strenuously tried to get on the Roosevelt slate in place of Jack Garner, and one of the principal reasons for the Roosevelt Wheeler split was his peeve at what he considered the Presidents in- gratitude.
 On the surface, relations between Wheeler and Lndbergh are friendly but undercover the two men are none too cordial. On Wheeler's part this situation has not been i'm proved since he has suspected Lind berghs presidential aspirations.
 FifY-nine years old, Wheeler's last chance for the White House will be 1914; and he doesn't take kindly to the idea of having it wrested from him. He deems himself the top iso- lationist leader, and expects to cash in on that three years hence-when he is convinced, new political par ty will have come to the fore and the situation will be ripe for sweep ing ovefturn.
 Such new party already is be- Ing quietly discussed in isolationist- appeasement quarters. At a recent secret meeting attended by several wealthy induStrialiSts, one name proposed was the American Chris tian Party. 7
 NOTE.- Another America First campaigner who harbors secret pres ldential ambitions is Phil LaFollette younger brother of the U. s. Sena- tor. While Governor of Wisconsin three years ago, Phil launched ar aoortive National Progressive Part, that had lot of the trappings oi Nazism, including symbol resem. oiing the swastika.

In a few days, all visitors will be denied entrance to the great East Room, not because of national emergency, but because the floor is wearing out.

over the country. Idea is to give soldiers particularly those stationed in rural areas, Friday -to-Sunday respite from military regimen, plus taste of city life.
 The new camps will be located outside of those cities which can offer wide range of recreational fa- cilities-golf, public beaches. swim ming pools, regulated dance halls. tennis courts and first-run movie houses. Military discipline will be kept att minimum, with no reveille in the morning or taps at night. The men can come and go without restrictions.
 Each camp will accommodate from 400 to 800 men. There will be no charge for lodging, but meals talk en at the mess hall will cost small fixed sum. Soldiers will be trans ported to the center in rotated groups, so that every man can take a weekend off at regular intervals.
 Fig ht experimental weekend camps already are in operation along the Gulf Coast, where many of the early inductees are concentrated. They have been so successful that the Army has decided to make the pro- gram nationwide.
 NOTE.-Also under consideration as morale boosters are free postage for service men, plus night baseball. Both proposals have been heartily approved by the President, are now pending in the hands of military recreation authorities. < {

FBI ON THE ALERT

Quietly and without fanfare the greatest mobli- zation of law enforcement in the history of the United States taking place today under the leader ship of John Edgar Hoover Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation United States Department of Justice In these days of international conflict, suspense, intrigue and Trojan-horse warfare when this country is engaged in gigantic rearmament and national defense program, the important role which law enforcement must play in this program has not been forgotten. En local Territorial Federal and FBI law enforcement officers with the FBI as the coordnating agency wagng an in- tensve warfare against the forces seeking to under mine this vital program of national defense and internal security.
 The FBI law enforcement officers mobilization plan for national defense automatically recruits the thousands of police officers which have always con- stituted the peacetme army of the land and which is now active vigilant, alert army safeguarding the internal security of our Nation.
 The FBI is the logical agency to coordinate the national defense work of the various state and local police In 1924 at the instance of the International Association of Chiefs of Police identification di vision was established by the FBI to provide police officials throughout the country with centralized depository for Identification data. To date there have been more than 100000 fngerprint cards pAcedf n dts files Today this reservoir of identifi- cation data is the largest in the world and is being used daily by law enforcement agencies throughout the entire United States. Also the FBI on nation al cooperative basis has brought to the police scien- tific methods of law enforcement as an essential factor in modern crime detection The FBI techni- cal laboratory from the fiscal 1885 through the fiscal year 1889 made total of 24,029 separate ex- aminatiors In connection with these examinations 161 964 specimens actually received and handled by the Laboratory.
 Anticipating just such conditions as might exist today Director Hoover established the FBI National Police Academy in 1885 in order to provide pro- gram of training local law enforcement officials.

a new leadership" he wasn't m- 6ulging in mere rhetoric. Secretly, friends say, he had something very concrete in mind.
 The ex-Colonel is planning to go into politics for the purpose of run ming for President in 1914.
 His current nationwide barn storming is largely to build himself up politically in preparation for a presidential drive. To this end, he is weighing the possibility of running against Senator Joseph H. Ball, young Minnesota Republican, a strong advocate of all-out aid to Britain.
 A former newspaperman, appoint ed by Governor Stassen to fill va cancy, Ball comes up for election next year He is one of the very few Midwest COP senators supporting the Presidents. foreign policy and Lindbergh's political advisers think the flier would have good chance 10. lick Ball.
 No decision has been made, and Lindbergh may even deny he has such intentions. But it can be stat cd definitely that the matter has been seriously discussed in the in- ner Lindbergh circle and that he expressed willingness to go after Balls seat if the situation looks propitious next year.
 Lindbergh is an old hand at cam paigning in Minnesota. He chauf- feured his late father in several statewide campaigns, one of them for the Senate. And he would have plenty of financial backing.
 Independently weaiIhy as a re. suit of earnings from his trans. Atlantic flight. he can count alst on the help of his wife. who inherit ed a fortune from her father, thu late Senator Dwight Morrow, a J P. Morgan partner.

THE DUCHESS

The story Of how several San Quentin
convicts offered To draw straWs TO select
one of their number who would replace
Juanita (the Duchess) Spinelli III the
death chamber unless she received exec
utiVe clemency made good writing for the
sob-sisters, and provided good ammunl-
ton for the sincere people who believe
that the state should not take a W0man's
life.
We cannot see. however, that there is
any valid reason for granting clemency
to "the Duchess purely on the grounds
of her sex. She Is as capable Of commit
ting murder as a man, and proved 1t. She
supposedly has the same reasoning pow
ers as a man, to know right from wrong.
She has no more capacity for suffering
under death sentence than man has.
If the Spinelli case is argued at all,
it should be argued simply on The basis
of whether capital punishment-for man
or woman-is to be retained. If it Is re-
tanned, it should apply equally TO the
mad dogs Of both sexes.
Women have fought for generations to
establish equality They still carry on
the fight, and worthwhile one it is.
They want equal pay, equal rights to jobs,
equal rights TO property. And they are
entitled to such eual rights.
But they must accept, along with the
rights equal responsibilities. Most Wom-
en-, we believe, are willing to do that. 1t
is the men, with a mistaken idea Of what
constitutes a gentleman, who insist upon
fostering the theory that woman is not
equal in every respect.

The Axis powers have really ac-
complished a great deal in the past

than that
They have done other things.
Things they had no idea OF ac-
complishing. Things like these:
They have completely uncovered
dacity the shameless interruptions
to the whole world the naked au-
ness, of their plan to force into the
Nazi mold as much of Jhe world
as pleases them.
They have resurrected the soul Ct
the British people; discredited and
driven from power : leadership
which was Indifferent alike to the
Nazi menace and to internal fail
ure to adjust the British economic
and social world to modern times.
They have shown the colossal folly
of the exaggerated nationalism
which caused the tiny nations
created in central Europe by the
First World War to hate and shun
one another; they have shown them
that their only safety IN future lies
in collaboration.
They have destroyed the illusion
in the United States that 50 great
a people can remain Indifferent
to what goes on in the rest of the
world: they have breataea life ard
reality into a Fan Americanism
and suddenly switched it from senti-
mental idealizing to life-and- death
practically.
They have virtually assured great
er degrees of independence to COM

Preparedness has been the watchword
of the hour for the last thirteen months
ever since America got an uneasy feeling
in the pit of its stomach, watching the
Nazi air-tank team whip through France
and the Low Countries right up to the
English Channel opposite the cliffs OF
Dover.
Much has been achieved in this period
in getting an armament drive under way
after starting from virtually scratch. But
on the debit side, and needlessly so, IS
the fact that the government has not yet
profited from the fumbling mistakes COM
mitted during the World war period.
After months of thorough investigation
the House Military Affairs Committee has
turned in report charging tnat the de-
Tense program has been riddled with un-
warranted delays and confusion. There
has been no delay in setting up new
boards bureaus and committees at Wash
ineton. The nations capital is today a
whrling hive of feverish activity, but
there is a grievous lack of integratlon
between these new defense agencies. AS
a manufacturer or contractor, you may
telephone one agency today for an ap-
pointment and tomorrow find that, to
all intents and purposes, 1t has vanished
from the face of the earth, with the tee-
phone company, defense officials and To-
cal police all baffled as to its inexplicable
disappearance In good time, the agency
usually turns up again at different
address.
That, of course, is only minor exam
pie Of the lack of unified command delay
ing the production program In the
judgment of the House Military Affairs
Committee, "A lack of coordination and
the absence of responsible head have
been largely responsible for deficiencies
we are now experiencing all along the
line" This country's World War expert
ence showed the necessity of giving full
power to one man to direct production.
