Senator Guffey does not intend

"A candidate who Is not big
enough to win in an open primary
is not big enough to win in the
ensuing election"
Many Names Suggested.
So far, Senator Guffey insists,
he has an open mind about the
selection of a candidate. More
than a dozen men have been sug-
gested for the place: among them
are Luther Harr, city treasurer
of Philadelphia; William c. Bull
hit, former A m b sador to
France; Anthony j. Drexel Bid
die, former Gov. Earle, Warren
r. Roberts, Auditor General F..
Clair Ross and Senator Guffey

hitting when he spoke of being
opposed to having a large num-
Der of State committee MEM

next gubernatorial candidate.
Mr.. Lawrence is backing Mr..
Ross for the gubernatorial NOM
ination. 1t appears that there is
another very nice fight in the
making for the Democrats of
Pennsylvania if this matter is
not Strengthened out. An effort
was made last spring to do away
with the pre-primary indorse-
ments by the State committee.
Mr.. Lawrence, Mr.. Ross and
others in the organization
blocked the move. Senator Guf-
fey himself, however, was re-
nominated in an open" primary
last year. defeating Walter A.
Jones, who was then the candi-
date of opponents of Mr.. Law
renee and Mr.. Guffey.
Davis Strongly Intrenched.
Senator Davis. who served
under three Republican Presi-
dents as Secretary of Labor. has
been a member of the Senate
since 1880, and has been three
times chosen to that place.
Known as friend of labor, he is
strongly intrenched.
If Senator Davis and Senator
Guffey become candidates for
Governor next year, they can re-
tain their Senate seats while the
fight goes on. Senator Davis
term does not expire until Janu-
ary, 1945. and Senator Guffey's
term runs until January l947

BY GOULD LINCOLN,

DS NoSLD LlNSoLN.
Pennsylvania, the Keystone
State, promises a battle royal
between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis next year, with victory for
one party or the other as a pos
sible augury of what is to happen
in the presidential election of
1914 AS Of today, there is pos
sibillty that Pennsylvania two
United States Senators, James j.
Davis, Republican. and Joseph F..
Guffey, Democrat, may be their
parties candidates for Governor
a year hence. If that should
happen, 1t would be unique in
political history.
Senator Davis, according to re-
ports, is virtually candidate
today. If these reports are eXag-
gerated it is true at least that
the Senator has his eyes on the
gubernatorial nomination. Sem
atOr Guffey denies flatly that he
is candidate for the nomination.
1t is understood he prefers to re-
main in the Senate, to which he
was reelected last year for a
SiX-year term. However, there
are those who say Senator Guffey
might be persuaded to make the
race for Governor if it seemed
the sole course which would avoid
another row in Pennsylvania
democracy, similar to that which
tore the party to ribbons in 1888,
when the present Republican
Governor, Arthur H. James, was
elected Senator Guffey was the
very center of that row three
years ago, however, when the
Democratic State Committee rode
roughShod over MIN and gave a
Pittsburgh lawyer, Charles A.
Jones, pre-primary Endorsement
for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
Senator Guffey, in the primary
contest that enSued, gave his sup
port to the then Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Thomas kennedy. secre-
tary of the United Mine Workers
of America. Mr.. Jones was noml-
mated, after bitter campaign, in
which the Democratic State Or
ganization. head by Demo-
cratic National Committeeman
David H. Lawrence. gave him its
support George H Earle, then
Governor, was the Democratic
candidate for Senator and won
that nomination. too, against a
Guffey supported candidate.
Republicans Hopeful.
Partly because OF this strife in
the Democratic party and partly
because many of the voters OF
the State had become less friend
" with the New Deal, the Re-
publicans cleaned up in that
election. eleCting both a Governor
and a Senator. They hope very
much to be able to elect a Gov
ernor next year. In PennSyl-
vania, Governor cannot sue
ceed himself. So Gov James
could not have another nomina-
ton if he wanted it. Not all
the Republican leaders in the
State are enamored of the sug-
gestion that Senator Davis be
nominated for Governor.
1t has been rumored that the
Pews and the Melons are of
such a nomination. On the other
hand, it is quite likely that
whether they are opposed to the
Davis nomination or not. Sena-
tor Davis might acquire it. The
Republicans nominate in an open
party primary, and Jimmy" Da-
Wis. the former iron puddler, has
showed his strength in primaries

Everybody's Children
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 The American Medical Association wins the inn mediate attention of laymen when it turns to prob- lems in rearing children. While grandfathers blood pressure is of academic interest in the household it changes little from year to year that it becomes monotonous.
 Not so with the children with them there is something different every morning, noon and night. The physicians were well aware of this when they advised that health education be dramatized in the schools They asserted that merely to insist on clean hands was old stuff that the reasons back of soap and water should be brought wildly to attention.
 There comes to mind at once certain acts for this drama, acts which will win the enthusiastic support of parents. On Monday morning in De- cember let the whole school watch while one boy blows into the slush of winter without overshoes Let all help in rubbing down the actor and wrap ping him in blankets Let them observe the curling up process while the shoes dry out on the radiator.
 On dry day have boy play football in his new suit then let his classmates take pictures of the shreds after the budding athlete has removed what his coat and vest to cool off in the cold est draft he can find.
 Children are so impressionable that the tables will turn and the youngsters will be looking after their parents to that they eat their spinach and refuse rich desserts.

Robert s. Allen in forecasting the German attack flatly and categorically two months in advahce is nothing short of phenomenal It recalls their ing scoop of the summer of l939 when they pre-. dicted the Naz-Soviet non aggression pact, one month in advance of the event and at time wher all other observers were predicting Soviet line -uI with Britain
 On April IA last The Washington Merry-Go- Round led with this unequivocal statement: "You can now write it down definite that Hitler will wade into Russia by midsummer, probably sooner
 This prediction is all the more remarkable be- cause day before, Russia and Japan announced a non-aggresson pact which looked if they were buryng the hatchet, and that Russia safely in- side the Axis Because of this announcement, Pear son and Allen got barrage of criticism, especially from eft-wing labor papers accusing them of being unfair to the Soviet
 However, The Merry -Go-Round authors knew, through their unusual diplomatic channels of certain things that had taken place in Berlin, and that Stalin, in signing with Japan merely trying to appease Hitler. For they reported in their April IA column
 Undoubtedly Stalin has had an inkling of what was in store for him for some time but it came to head during the Matsuoka conversations in Berlin, when Hitler and the Japanese Foreign Minister put 1t on the line to attack Russia this summer"
 Again, in recent column, June IA, Pear son and Allen gave an inside diagnosis of the Rus sian German picture with exclusive details of how Hitler had demanded large economic concessions plus the return of Bessarabia and Poland. "The show down." they said may be just around the corner"
 The showdown came one week later, June 21, but before that, on June 19, Pearson and Allen had put themselves further out on the limb and had predicted categorically that Germany would defeat Russia.
 It will be interesting to see whether this also comes true

that no more orders would be filled. Inquiries brought the cocky reply that the company didn't care to sell if it couldn't get it's hands on the money-to send to Italy.
 On this, however, the Italians have another think coming. They will sell the steel they hold and the money will not go to Il Duce. Also they will get no more steel. Uncle Sam has taken steps to these ends.

trying to work out an agreement by which Russia might be weaned away from the Axis and aid the United States in case of trouble with Japan. It was tough diplo- matic negotiating, first because Oumansky was having trouble with pro-Axis Stalin; second because Welles was having trouble with his anti-Soviet chief, Secretary Hull.
 Despite his knowledge of Ameri- can politics, Ambassador Oumansky made one of the prize remarks of recent diplomatic history one day when he complained:
 The only person I see when go to the State Department is Sumner Welles, I think g nation of the importance of Russia should have its Ambassador received by the Secretary of State himself"
 Ambassador Oumansky did not know it, but the chief reason Hull did not see him (though he did later on one or two occasions) was because the Secretary of. State was using his most pungent Tennessee phraseology on all things Russian And he had very definite ideas about MT. Welles' hope that Rus sia might be brought into the same corner as the LISA. But it took a long time for charming Com rade Oumansky to tumble.

 Adverse planetary aspects are active today. The evening is for tunate for theatres and public en- tertainments. ~
 Heart and Home: Women are un- der a fortunate direction ,,of the stars today, which is most promis- ing for weddings and for marriage engagements. Mental vision should be keen and weekend planning wise. There is a sign indicating for many girls new opportunities in vacations associated with dress de- signing or manufacturing. Paris is to surrender domination as a fash ion center to New York and .Hol- lywood Although the seers warn that economy is to be imperative in the next few years, substitutes for rich fabrics will continue to multiply. ..s.
 Business Affairs: Industry is again to be hampered by labor difficulty, but trade and commerce should flourish under this configu- ration. United States ships are to sail in dangerous seas, but many rich cargoes will reach Britain. This is time of great peril to our mercantile vessels, but there will be comparatively few losses. Again astrologers. warn that news papers and radio carry too many items that are hints to the Axis powers. Internal borers for infor- nation will be numerous in Wash ington, even in public offices. Gov ernment salaries by chance will be paid to men and women engaged in espionage, the stars indicate.
 National Issues: Economy in civ il affairs will be stressed as the summer advances and defense costs are fully realized. Sacrifices by of ficeholders will be suggested with more and more emphasis as high salaries continue in many branch es of Government service. Private citizens who pay heavy taxes and bear the brunt of the burden of rising mountains of expense wl.l become restive even before they must face added outlays of mill lions for active participation in world conflict. sss.
 International Affairs: Efforts to speed the progress of the war m Europe will be evident as Hitler concentrates his immense forces 'i Unrest among the civilian popula- tion of Germany may be sdiscernad by those who are capable of judg- ing the people who, were promised 8 quick victory. Gradual under standing. of the immense sacrifice of life which has been necessary in the Nazi war program ,win add to the discontent of subjects of ! the dictator. nod, {
