prlatlons Committee, vacated by the recent death of 83-year- old Repre- sentative Edward T. Taylor of Colo rado. The rival claimants come from opposite wings of the Democratic Party. They are:
 REPRESENTATIVE CLIFTON A. WOODRUM, handsome, white-hair- ed Virginia conservative, a militant foe of New Deal domestic spending. but an equally militana advocate of spending for defense and aid to Britain.
 REPRESENTATIVE CLARENCE CANNON, Missouri New Dealer and the Houses leading oracle on par- lamentary law. Cannon has bat tied Loyalty down the line for the Presidents domestic program, but blows hot and cold on foreign policy.
 Complicating headache of the tug of-war is the fact that both aspir- ants have equal seniority-which is the chief factor in choosing a com mittee chairman. Both were elected in 1923 and named to the Appro- priations Committee the same day, December 12, 1929. However, Can non's packers loudly contend he is entitled to the chairmanship be- cause his name precedes Woodrum's on the committee roster.
 Woodrum supporters reply that this is only alphabetical preced- ence.' They further maintain that If Congressional precedent is fol- lowed, Woodrum, who comes from enc of the 13 original States. has prlor claim since in cases of equal seniority the candidate whose State was first admitted to the Union is usually appointed chairman. Mis- souri was admitted in 1921.
 NOTE: The White House and Democratic leaders so far have kept out of the fight, but not the .isola- Fstionists. They are secretly trying to Tine up support for Cannon because

MIDNIGHT SNACK

The other day Senator Roger Peace of South Carolina who holds the former seat of Justice Jimmie Byrnes, dropped in to see Byrnes at his home in Spartanburg. It was late in the evening and the two men raided the icebox. It was damned with food.
 How do you happen to have SC much food in the icebox today?' asked Peace.
 "Well.' grinned Byrnes, after twenty years it feels so good to be able to walk down the street and not have anyone stop and ask for job that I just went downtown this afternoon and did some shop ping"
 NOTE: Ex-Senator Byrnes was one of the Presidents most ef- ficient Congressional lieutenants and commanded great influence when it came to patronage.

The Cord About His Neck
Seattle TimeS)


 The kind of individual who is forever quoting from the classics once was aptly satirized by Kai Lung, the Chinese teller of tall tales, in one of Ernest Bramahs ncomparable yarns Hung about his neck by cord" quoth Ka Lung, was a variety of poems suitable to most of the contingencies of an ordinary persons existence"
 Without laying claim to any such distinction one cannot help being reminded nowadays of stir ring writings of the past which were inspired by
 Thus the announced banishment of the Germans who have dwelt for generations in the valley of the Voga to distant Siberian seppes recalls two famous narrative dealing with the tragic vicissitude of exies.
 One concerns the story of some 30O0O nhabi- tants of the Rhensh city of Salzburg in the Pala- tnate who left their beloved homes in 1731 because of religious prosecutions and scattered through out other provinces of Germany, providing back and Dorothea."
 The other, of course was the exile of the Aca- dian people from the lovely meadows of Nova Scotia when they refused to take the oath of allegiance to Britain in 755 and their later dispersion southward toward New Orleans which suggested Longfellow's "Evangene.'
 The tragic occurrences of which we read in our daily newspapers today unfold on stages of such vast magnitude that these earlier sagas related in song and story, pale into nsgnificance. Their interpre- tation in literature will require the perspective of much time. The present age is providing magnfi- cent material for future poets and dramatists

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24

WEDNESDAY,, SEPTEMBER "A
 Benefic aspects rule this second day of autumn. There is a sign presaging good news regarding de- fense activities, although there is 8 threatening portent affecting naval operations.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under friendly planetary guid- ance today. It is fortunate date for girl students and promises happy romance. Whether marriage is chosen for a career or whether there may be a comfortable in come, girls must henceforth pre- pare to be wage-earners. In post war days it will be as unusual for the daughters of the family to be untrained for a vocation as it is now for the sons.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: False alarms regarding the scarcity of certain raw materials may be help full to defense preparations despite their uncorrectness, since they will arouse individual effort to aid the nation. Although the gigantic ma chine of American manufacturing is to function magnificently, con- cealment of real accomplishment and even transformation will be more and more helpful in deceiy- ing the enemy. Again the seers warn of sabotage on large scale. As our prosperity continues, novel Axis methods to discredit us and to destroy supplies sent to England will be tried. A sensational incl dent will mark the end of the month.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Selfishness will contend with patriotism among men who cannot be prevented from profiteering Government watchful- ness will result in revelations that cause widespread resentment next month. Nazi agents will be exposed as partners in organizations that possess defense contracts. Wash ington is to furnish many incl dents which provide material for criticism among former isolation ists and others.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Astrologers find that the period of 1929 to 1943 is subject to planetary influences affecting the United States which are similar to those of our revolutionary time, 1765 to 1779. Neptune's first return to Virgo, the sign it occupies in our national horoscope, is the clue by which they judge today when we fight again for liberty. There will be sudden daring diplomatic moves that must precipitate conflict, but actual war developments will move slowly when compared to the steps in Government procedure.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a lucky year in which there is much domestic happiness as well as anxiety re- garding sons or daughters in the service of the nation.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have exceptional ability and strong character. Successful careers are foretold for them.

 Again when Chairman D. Worth Clark of Idaho announced that the committee would enlarge it's inves- tigation, Willkie remarked "That s nice. They can keep this thing go- ing to suit themselves indefinitely. But guess I've got no complaint. I'll have job until 1944."

 That they themselves had seen hardly any of the films they de- nounced as war propaganda
 That they had based their att tacks on statements made to them by others, whom they re- fused to identify.
 That they proposed no leg islation, and that the probe, in effect was a witch hunt" to smear the movies for producing anti-NaZi pictures
 That Senator Nye disapproved Charlie Chaplin's "The Dicta- tor" because it ridiculed a for eign country and ruler Adolf Hitler.

SINGLE GAME NEXT
WEEK ENDS V233'S
BASKET SCHEDULE

VP33 will be the next Island
City League team to follow the
lead of Army IN winding up the
1940-'41 basketball season. Sched-
uled battle with C.G.C. Pandora
Wednesday night will complete
its quota of ten games in the
leagues second-half but will
leave its final position in the
standings still uncertain.
At present the Airmen are
only a half-game behind third
place Pandora and a game-and-
a-half out of second. Regardless
of whether they win or lose next
week, they will have to await the
notwithstanding games Friday
night to learn how they'll stand
due to nearness to the leaders.
One thing is certain, the Avia-
tors will not end in last-place as
they did the first-half. Soldiers
record number of losses wiped
out any mathematical chance of
other clubs dislodging them from
the dark reaches of the cellar.
Airmen have battled their OPP
ponents on almost even terms the
present schedule. Losing a game
more than they won in nine
starts to date, the Aviators scor-
ed 314 points to 329, just Is less
than the total racked up by OPP
posing teams.
A breakdown of the scores
show they recorded their highest
number of points in a single game
against Army, 1925, and the low
est against Pandora, 22-33. They
made a clean sweep of the series
with the Soldiers, nosing them in
the second meeting, 36-35, but
were in turn defeated twice by a
common enemy, losing to High
School, 1852 and 1914.
Marines and Lions Club shared
honors with the Airmen. Leath-
ernecks captured the first scrap,
1870, but dropped the next, 81
35, while the Civic cagers lost the
opening fight, 39-41, and won the
parting battle, 1881.
