RETURNED FAVOR

When Representative John Mo Cormack of Massachusetts was el- ected Democratic Floor Leader of the House, one of his strongest and most unexpected supporters was Georgia's fiery New Deal-hating Gene Cox. Though the two men were poles apart on economic views, Cox nevertheless backed Mccormack and did yeoman work for him.
 Recently Mccormack returned the favor. Before leaving on a. trip to Massachusetts, Mccormack named Cox acting Floor Leader during his absence. "Yhere's cone condition, however, Gene" he grinned. You'll have to refrain from those~hot one minute speeches. on1 the hdodl I don't want my stand-ipi taking swings at the Administration. It would look bad"

PARTISAN POLITICS. vANIsHEs

Aside from Democratic Chairman Ed Flynn, who is always complaining about Republicans being appointed to new government jobs, not many people realize how much partisan politics has been forgotten in Wash ington these days.
 There are illustrations galore, but one of the best is the present job of Cyrus Mccormick, Republican National Committeeman from New Mexico Scion of the famous Inter- national Harvester family, McCor- mick is now working hand-in-glove with one of the most ardent and controversial New Dealers in Wash ington, Price Czar Leon Henderson. Mccormick is a full-time member of Hendersons staff and recently completed trip. through the indus trial midwest, meeting automobile retailers and selling them on Hen derson's price-fixin ideas. He made many converts.
 This is strange medicine for some of the folks back in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Mccormick has a ranch, and where he is such a ram pant Republican boss that his wife tells this story on him.
 In the 1886 election, Cyrus was campaigning vigorously for Ali Lan- don. Mrs. Mccormick didn't think much of Landon- nor would she vote for Roosevelt. So she finally cast her ballot for Norman Thomas.
 After the votes were counted el- ection night, the Spanish American poll watchers and tellers came in to report to "Padrone" Mccormick. I"Have you got ,'eai all .counted?" asked MeCormick. q
 "Yes, Padrone," they replied. We have all the votes for Roosevelt and Fall the votes for Landon. But She"

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER |.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13
 Benefic aspects rule on this thir- teenth of the month which should be lucky for women and inspiring for all who are connected with newspapers or magazines.
 HEART AND HOME: Good news from men in the service Of the nation is indicated Letters and messages are foreSeen but love missives from overseas will be few, because of difficulties in transpor- tation. Storms may interfere with aviation, but there is promising sign for American flyers. This is lucky day for signing contracts. Girls should profit through em- ployment in which they demon- strate their courage as well as their intelligence. This is a fortu- nate date for beginning work which is novel and exacting.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: A pact that promises much to Britain will bear November date, but while closer cooperation with Britain is to bring about final victory for the Allies, there may be reverseS and diScouragements before the end of the month The flow of supplies to Russia will be greater each week, despite unfavorable weather conditions, but vessels will be sunk by Nazi planes and submarines The wise will brace themselves to receive disheartening news.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Women en- gagged in Nazi secret service work on the Pacific Coast will succeed in bringing about disaster to air. planes and they may even cause destruction of big manufactur- ing plant, foreign seer declares. Distinguished visitors from abroad will be widely entertained in Cali fornia where they will engage in secret plots against the Govern ment. They will escape before their plans are carried out by agents in their employment.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Moscow continues under a threat ening configuration which seems to presage considerable loss of terri tory as well as men. Unexpected obstacles are presaged as Hitler concentrates on desperate measures to outdistance the approaching winter with it's severe weather as a handicap. The recent lunation in the house of sorrow has a de- cided significance in current events. It must be recalled that astrologers prognosticate supreme trials for the Allies through a winter of terrible conflict. h.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ac- tivity and advancement, but temp tation to indulge in social diver sions may be most unfortunate if not overcome. =
 Children born on this day prob ably will be highly sensitive and rarely gifted. They may be more successful in the arts than they are in their love ventures.

 Now, every movement of the yacht is watched, but there is nothing the United States can do about the ship unless she enters American waters. So far the vessel has been very care ful to stay within Mexican territor- ial waters.
 Before U. s. authorities uncovered the Nazi ownership of the yacht and the nature of it's operations, how ever, it made three trips to Cuba. It also docked several times at Pan- anna. The crew of the vessel, from the captain down, are Spaniards re- gently brought from Spain expressly for this purpose. s%

LEND-LEASE MILK EXPERT

The most novel type of Lend Lease operation thus far was the lend-leasing of a man named Adolph. Adoph Eichhorn went over to help the British against Adolf Hitler. ..
 The British are suffering from in- sufficient production of milk, be- cause of diseased cattle, and Eich- horn is the man who knows all the COW cures. He is director of the Animal Disease Station under the Department of Agriculture.
 Three principal diseases afflict British cattle: tuberculosis, which makes the cattle lean; Bangs dis ease, which results in the loss of the calf; and masitis, which causes a hard bag and stringy milk, unfit for food.
 Eichhorn was obliged to tell the British that tuberculosis, which af- flicts 35 per cent of British cattle, cannot be cured during the course of the war, unless the war lasts for another generation. It took the United States g years to get the disease under,eeptrols *I 4sy.
 Bangs dis&ase is more. readily cured=. approximations calf abe immunized so that its adult life will not be afflicted with the disease.
 Meantime, the British are import ing great quantities of dry and pow dered milk from the United States. Fresh milk is worth a kings ran som.
 NOTE: The cost of Eichhorn's trip to Britain by plane, and his five weeks stay, was charged to the lend-lease account.

'Aryanization' of Paris
Jewish Concerns Pushed

PARIS, Wia Berlin), Jan. 10
Delayed)-R-The organization
of 1000 Jewish concerns in Paris
is going forward rapidly, officials
said today, and all establishments
are expected to be in the hands OF
non-jewish owners soon. Of the
II, 1000 businesses, about 5000 are
retail stores. These are receiving
first attention.
The stores were first placarded
with yellow signs labelling them as
jewish. Lately red signs have ap-
peared, indicating the business des-
ignated has been taken over by a
commissar, named by the French

authorities with the approval of the
German occupation authorities,
whose function is to see that the
business is promptly Sold to an
''aryan' purchaser.
So far as possible the commissar
picks a purchaser of the same
nationality as the jewish owner,
thus permitting foreign-owned
businesses to remain in the same
foreign hands.
