Huey's Return
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The fuss over the unveiling of statue of the Kingfish of Louisiana in Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol opens up the whole question as to the purpose of biographical corridors
 Senator Ellender of Louisiana, who rose in poli- tics with the help of the Kingfish, justified the unveiling on the contention that Long not a dictator but a doer of things for the masses My candid judgment is that the of Huey Pierce Long will go down in history another great American statesman while most of his critics will be forgotten before they cold in their graves"
 It seems to us that full justification can be found for setting up the statue without resorting to ex- travagant rhetoric; that Senator Eender unwilling ly disclosed that he was paying off personal debt to an old friend and although it was an unpleasant chore he would go through with it.
 Let us look at Senator Ellender's eulogy The Kngfish was dictator, little Hitler, and he knows it full well.
 A doer of things for the masses? Yes he did many notable things for his state, but the graft and corruption that went along with them were a national disgrace. The Senator knows all this too for number of the old Louisiana Gestapo cool ing their itching palms in prison.
 Huey will go down in history, Senator Ellen der said but the world great" cannot be used un- til terms have been defined Senator Ellender might have defined and by so doing cleared up somewhat the confusion that prevails
 The Kingfish will go down in history because he rose to great power and played role in the affairs of men which was unique.
 The question Senator Ellender should have dis cussed was whether the true Huey Long entitled to place in Statuary Hall. Had he done this a number of persons would not have found it propti- ous to leave Washington on unveiling day, to hide in cloak rooms.

WEAR A POPPY

The peoples which grew in Flanders Fields have twice been trampled under the boots of invading armies within the memory of all but the bright flowers will bloom again in America this week in the buttonhoes of millions who remember the rifice which young made to save democracy the last time it in peril
 Saturday is Poppy Day always set for the of Memorial Day, which it anticipates as an occa- sion for remembering the disabled veterans of the World War.
 The 26y600 poppies which will be sold in Alaska on Saturday were twisted into shape by patients at the Veterans Hospital at Walla Walla Washing ton one of 81 hospitals where the bright paper flowers made throughout the year The men who make the poppies unable to their livings in any other way. All of them hospital ized, some flat on their backs. None of them re- ceives compensation from the Government for his the But it is undeniable that all these men are victims of the great conflict which secured the face of Europe 25 years ago Proceeds of the Alaska poppy sale, after the disabled veterans have been paid for their handiwork used for child welfare and rehabilitation right here in Alaska, except for ten percent which goes to American Legion nation al headquarters for similar work national scale

Four times as many men being rejected by the Army doctors for bad teeth in the selective draft of 191718 The figures authoritative com- ing from high official of the United States Public Health Service but like all figures dealing with phys ical fitness in the recruits they no doubt call for careful interpretation The basic factors are two Between 1917 and l94l standards may have changed both with respect to dental fitness and to military fitness Thus there is notable spread to- day between 43 percent rejected for full military service and 28 percent rejected for any kind of military service.
 Offhand would say that in civil life our ideas, at any rate in 1941, what constitutes good teeth good eyes good posture good nerves and good all-round physique are considerably more exacting than they 25 years ago.

Axis applied the pincers and now it was Yugoslavias funeral.
 Turkey was an ally of Yugoslavia, but decided to remain an isolation ist nation. Today, Turkey is com- pletely surrounded: by Nazi-occu- pied Syria, Nazi-occupied Greece, and Nazi-occupied Bulgaria = plus uncertain Russia. Whenever Hitler gets ready to pluck her, it will be Turkeys funeral.
 U. S. A. AND BRAZIL The United States, it might be repeated, has little to fear from di- rect attacks across the Atlantic and Pacific. Neither did Yugoslayia or Turkey two years ago fear direct at tack. At that time Germany was many miles distant.
 But should Germany get toe hold in Brazil, Venezuela or the Guianas, then it is but few hours bombing flight to Colombia and the Panama Canal, or a short step to Central America and Mexico. Today, Brazil Colombia and Vene- zuela, very friendly countries but proud of their sovereignty, sympa- thize with the United States in re- gard to Germany-except that like every other Latin American nation, they absolutely oppose admitting U. s. troops on their soil in advance to help block Nazi invasion. Of course they have excellent pre- cedents. Belgium, for instance, re- fused to permit French troops on her soil or even to have general staff consultations with France in advance of the Nazi invasion. Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela may change their minds tomorrow. Belgium changed its mind-but too late

is an important lesson for the Unit ed States. The United States has little need to worry about attack from across the Atlantic and Pacific, but it does need to worry about being encircled via South America.
 For instance: Hitler's first move in Europe after the Rhineland was to take Austria. CzechOSlOvakia didn't like it but her peace groups counseled against risking war; her two allies, Rumania and Yugoslavia, decided that it was not their fun eral; and France had been rendered ilnpotent by Hitler's occupation of the Rhineland
 So next day the Czechs woke up to the fact they now had border thirds surrounded by Germany North, south and west they faced Nazi troops.
 Therefore, year later, when Hit Ter got ready to take the Sudeten- land, it was relatively easy to apply the pincers to Czechoslovakia-es- pecially since he had the help of Po- land and Hungary. Those two countries both wanted slices of Czech territory, mobilized their armies on the rest of the Czech border. That was the end of Czechoslovakia.

What Time Is It?

 Pressure of national defense work again has made Daylight Saving Time a national question
 Representative Donald H. Mclean, New Jersey Republican, has introduced bill in Congress pro- vidng for daylight" time throughout the nation from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. This recalls Daylight Saving on a na- tional scale during the World War provision re- pealed in 1919 over the veto of President Wilson.
 National Daylight Saving would end the con- fusion existing.
 But we doubt whether the majority of the people of the whole nation favor Daylight Time. It is now observed in only l6 of the 4S States, and not uniformly in those.
 Whether the inconvenience to farmers and work men on early shifts would be justified by savings ir electric power under Daylight Time don't know We would like to figures from the Defense Board on the possible saving and some expressions of opinion from organized labor and other groups who would be most affected
 Certainly bill overriding the present local op- ton system should not be enacted without thorough study.

into the whole problem of social welfare and the general standard of living. When we speak of an underprivieged population we mean underprvileged by todays higher standards and sensitive social conscience. minimum budget for low-income family includes things that would have been regard ed luxures generation ago. This is as it should be. It is justiable to speak of people ill fed ill housed and ill clad and to mean thereby people who receive less of these basic needs than society is in position to give them. They entitled to their share in social progress.
 The trouble is that the case of the under privileged is often invoked to suggest that there has been no progress for the underprivileged This is contrary to fact. Where today people speak of third of the nation underprivileged they might justly have spoken at the beginning of the present century of two-thrds of the nation underprivleged social system with such rate of progress has something to be said for it.

White House and the State Depart ment debated all day whether Presi- dent Roosevelt should send a mes sage to Congress warning the nation what German troops and bombing planes at Dakar, on the western bulge of Africa, meant to the Monroe Doctrine
 The day passed and nothing hap pened. This delay is now being rec tified. But previously many other precious days had passed.
 Last autumn, after the capitula- tion of France, General Weygand had an army of 300, ,000 men in North Africa, plus a fair number of air planes and artillery. At that time Admiral Leahy, new Ambassador to France, suggested a joint Pan-Am- erican naval expedition to Dakar jumping-off place to South Am erica, to prevent jump-off.
 At that time General Weygands army, cooperating with the British in Egypt, could have applied the pincers on the Italians. squeezed them out of Libya in no time.
 But Admiral Leahy's suggestion was not seriously considered. Polit- ical sentiment in the United States, he was told, never would stand for 1t, and besides the United States was not prepared.
 Today, the German Italian arm istice commission has dismantled all of General Weygand's airplanes, blown up his forts, disarmed his men. taken away his artillery. And what is left of the French army in North Africa, tired of waiting for the United States and Britain, has thrown in its lot with Hitler.

STEPS TO TURKEY

Next day Poland woke up to find itself thirds surrounded by Ger many. By gaining Czechoslovakia, Hitler now could station troops north, south and west of Poland So a year later, the pincers were ap- piled to Poland and she was swal- lowed
 Meanwhile Hungary wanted a slice of Rumania, cooperated with Hitler by sending troops across her borders. Rumania was taken, Hun gary found herself surrounded, a vassal state. Her premier commit ted suicide.
 Yugoslavia was a Little Entente ally of both Czechoslovakia and Ru- mania, but ignored the alliance when they needed help. Later Yugo- slavia found herself surrounded on three sides: by Italy on the west, Nazified Austria, Rumania and Bull garia on the north and east. The

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not conpe"
FRIDAY, MAY g

Benefic aspects today contend with adverse planetary influences. Uranus and Jupiter are in places fortunate for many lines of ac- tivity. Pluto is in forbidding sway.
 Heart and Home: There is d sign fortunate for making new social contacts. Romances will start under this rule of the stars. Wom- en will find this fortunate date for beginning important work of any sort, but they should not sign contracts under this configuration. The seers stress the importance of holding high ideals in human re- lations and point out the scope of womens influence at a time when men are withdrawn from home associations. Families should unite on special programs that as- sure wise use of leisure.
 Business Affairs: Discovery of amazing possibilities in utilizing waste materials will be profitable. Synthetic fabrics and foods will multiply as their uses are recog- nized. Novel business organizations will earn large profits. Trade and commerce will expand rapidly through the coming summer when the natural resources of the nation will prove to be even more varied and extensive than they were, be- lieved to be. Mining and oil pros pecting will be extraordinarily suc- cessful. yiS
 National Issues: The rising OcoSt of living will be noticeable ass the summer advances and will cause efforts to prevent exploitation of necessary products from field and factory Money will be plentiful enough to cause much indifference to soaring prices of certain iuxu- ries. Far-sighted persons will Ipur- chase shoes and clothing now for the coming winter when leather, woolen materials and furs will be greatly increased in price. The wise will enjoy prosperity through the is motto that will be inspiration for current amusements and pleas ures.
 International Affairs: Difficulties attending the management of hos pitals and relief agencies will hmlil- tiply as demands for medicala and surgical attention increase and lack of food causes unrest and rebellion in Europe. Again warning is given that there is 8 configuration which seems to indicate period of re- versals for British forces and frus- tration of certain American plans for wholesale aid The stars warn that the peak of peril will be reached before midsummer.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of fair ly good fortune, but there may be thefts or frauds which are costly to men under the sway of Gemini.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be optimistic and ener- getic, romantic and yet practical. They may be many-sided in their interests.
