FROM COUNTY BENCH TO
 SENATE

Truman was a littleknown coun- ty judge when, in 1884, Boss Pen dergast picked him to run for the Senate seat voluntarily relinquished by the famous Jim Reed, whose acid tongue and devastating wit is a Sen ate legend. It was three -cornered race, with Truman pitted against two prominent Democratic leaders. But with Pendergast's potent back ing, Truman handily won the nom- ination, and later the election.
 Throughout his seven years in the Senate, Truman has been overshad- owed by his colleague, Bennett Clark.
 The son of a national political leader, ready orator and two-fist- ed fighter, Clark quickly made 8 front-page figure in the Congress ional arena. Truman was content to let him have the limelight.
 While Clark bacame a bellicost New Deal foe, Truman quietly sup

THE DUCK DERBY

Members of the Alaska Game Commission think they're going to have lot of fun tonight with Ju- portsmen who believe they identify various species of ducks
 At the annual banquet of the Gastineau Chan mel Sportsmens Association, there will be two duck identifying contests conducted In of the tests, ten species of the quackers will be on display and the sportsmen will be asked to name them. In a second duck quiz entirely new species, reputed to have been bagged by Rod Darnell whose veracity is not being conceded by the game experts, will be on display and hunters will be asked to guess to which duck family it is most closely related. By Frank Dufresne, the strange bird has been dubbed the Red-Headed Whifflepoof
 It will all be in fun, but aside from the fun, looal hunters expect to get lot of gripes out or their systems and maybe do some serious talking about next years shooting seasons when they get together tonight at the Elks Club.

To the Congo by Air
lNew York Timesl

(New York Times)
 Amid the varied accomplishments hastened to fufilment by wars exigences there is new thrill in the departure of the flying boat Capetown on a pioneering voyage of more than 18000 miles to the Belgian Congo Pan Americans flights from Call forna to the Antipodes longer, but this new enterprise of the air is virgin territory and on the whole over difficult terrain. The very extent of the jumps equatorial forest and almost untraveled ocean is impressive-1832 miles from Natal Brazil to Bathurst, British Gambia; 17l5 miles thence to Lagos in Liberia and then on for 286 miles trackless jungle to the Congo capital
 The world shrinking fast in terms of time and accessibility before the war turned progress from a canter into gallop The grdiron routes or the air reach into places previously deemed un- attanable The giant airship blazing this new trail took along 40 passengers. Initialy fortnightly service is planned but needs may soon call for more frequent voyages And when it is all over, peacetime requirements will be closer to satisfaction for this adventure that made imperative

WE HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS

There was a lot of editorial comment in papers throughout the country few days when Sec reary of State Cordel Hull told Finland she must cease fighting against Russia face the loss of American friendship.
 In every instance of course the editors called attention Of readers to the feeling of friendship which existed between this nation and the Films.
 They invariably remarked the payment of the Finnish war debt to this country and the feel ng Of sympathy which we expressed for the Films when they were walked by the Russian Bear in the early days of the present
 But most of the editors then called to the at tention of Finland that the time had come to call their campaign quits. Most of the territory lost to the Russians in that war two years ago has been won back they pointed out. Then too America is actively aiding Russia now, shipping her war sup plies in frenzied effort to halt the advance of the swastilla Certainly this country can't furnish aid to one nation and remain friendly footing with a people at active war with the power being aided
 Personally we can't find it in our hearts to scowl too meanly at the Films. The Films to keep on fighting until they win enough territory from Russia to feel completely from their ancient enemy Long ago they declared that con quest" beyond gaining obectves they consider vital to the country is not part of Finnish war plans. The Films still assert that self-protection is the only purpose of their campaign against the Soviets. We certainly have more reason by way of past experi- ence to believe Finland than have had to believe either Russia for Britain.
 We do not criticize Secretary Hull or the admin istration for their note of warning to the Films This war is like a most complicated game of chess If we concentrate all attention the threat ened checkmate by the rook the knight is likely to hop in crooked line and put out of the game completely Finland, as all the other world powers must be kept under observation. If Finland seems likely to become a permanent ally of the Nazis we will have choice in the matter Then, we will be forced to take sides against the little nation.
 But our aid to the Russians right now is for

GLENDALE, Calf. Dec. 1-Clar- .ence Foster of Juneau. Alaska has arrived here to become a student of Master Aviation Mechanics at Curtiss- Wright Technical Institute
 Curtiss- Wright Tech, headed by Major c. c. Moseley, noted former Army flief, is one of the largest aviation technical schools in the nation and was selected by the United States Army Air Corps as one of a few schools throughout the country to train mechanics for the Army.
 Approximately 2,000 students are new enrolled here, of whom MT Foster is the latest to arrive. Of these, approximately 600 are Army personnel and the remaining 1900 are civilians.

ed with this schooling he was grad uated from drug store errand boy to bank clerk But banking held no lure for him, so he worked his way through the Kansas City School of Law and hung out his shingle.
 Also, he became active in the Pen dergast organization, where his quiet efficiency soon attracted the atten- ton of the squat political boss. The World War interrupted Truman's budding legal-political career. He enlisted in the Army, was sent to the famed artillery school at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, and won commission as second lieutenant. By the time his outfit. the 120th Field Artillery, went to France, Truman was a captain in command of a battery.
 He saw action on the Meuse-Ar- gonne front, his battery firing it's last gun at 10:45 on the morning of November II, 1918, just Is minutes before the Armistice.
 Returning to Missouri, young Tru- man renewed his Pendergast con- tacts and soon was awarded an ap- pointment as a county judge. In this office he quickly made reputa- tion as 8 conscientious and trust worthy jurist and several years later was elected presiding judge of the court. It is one of Trumans great est brides that as presiding judge he directed the construction of $25,000,- 900 worth of public highways and buildings without penny of poodle.

DEAD HORSE

While poles apart politically, Tru- man and Clark are good friends per sonally. Their friendship dates back to the A. E. F., when on one oc- casion Clark played practical joke on Truman that both now recall with smiles.
 Truman was bringing his battery by train into the Vosges Mountains Arriving at his destination, he was met by Clark Lieutenant-C Colonel The superior officer pointed dram atically at a dead horse lying near the station platform, and said:
 Captain, you better get your men and guns out of here in hurry The Germans are shelling this place and you ought to unload and get under cover as quick as you can.'
 Taking Clark at his word, Truman ordered his battery to detrain in a hurry, even pitching in himself tc help with the task. After the bat JtIy lldQ SWtdtcQ lfdllIlCdiiy lO BCt out of the zone of fire, Clark walk ed over to Truman and said with a grin, That's fine job, Truman But the joke is on you That horse wasn't killed by the Germans. He was shot by veterinarian. Truman didn't think the Joke was so funny then, but he laughs about it now. He also laughs to himself about some of Clarks senatorial an tics. He has a hunch that this time the joke will be on Clark.
 NOTE: Significant of the differ ence between the two men: Clark's self-penned biography in the Con gressional Directory takes up nearly three-quarters of a page of flint print. Truman's consists of three lines.

they are no longer in the Senate.
 Truman kept in the background was known only as a henchman oi the notorious Pendergast machine During the six years of Trumana first term, so far as the man ln the street was concerned there was only one Senator from Bennett Clark.
 Then came the conviction of Boss Pendergast; and many of his asso- ciates took to the tall timber. But not Truman. He publicly acknow- ledged his political debt to Fender gast and their long friendship.
 The wise boys wrote it down that it was all over for Truman. He was a courageous man, but he had cook ed his goose. They were wrong. In one of the hottest campaigns in Mis- souri history, where fiery elections are an old story, Truman, the Pen oergast man, was decisively re- elected.
 He returned to the Senate as quiet and as inconspicuous as before. Since January he has been on his feet only four times, and his re- marks could all be printed on three pages of the Congressional Record.
 Each time he talked about one subiect-"S. Res. Fl" the resolution that authorized his Investigating committee. This probe has been his passion ever since friends back home began writing him about waste in the construction of Fort Leonard Wood, at Rollo, Mo.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compep
TUESDAY. DECEMBER 9

Good and evil planetary influ- ences seem to balance in the horo- scope for today. More labor trou- bleS are indicated and there is a warning omen for aviators.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are well directed by the planets today which is suspicious for we'd dings and social affairs. for clubs and relief work. Young folk mar ried under this configuration may have difficulties in making new adjustments in manner of living, but happiness is foretold for those who are guided by minds as well as hearts. Bad news of some phase of the war may touch American families this month. The Navy to- day is under favorable planetary guidance
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Increased taxes will be felt severely by men and women who operate business with little capital. While prosperity is enjoyed by tens of thousands of employees many small concerns will be forced out of business before January l. Despite Government eff fort to protect independent mer- chants and manufacturers who have flourished under old-fashioned conditions their fate is inevitable, if the stars are rightly read.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Protests by isolationists will become desperate this month when emotion will blind mental vision. The stars long have been read as indicating the impossibility of the United States escape from actual participation ia the second world war The stars have forecast repetition of history step by step as policies adopted in the first World War have been again made necessary in Wash ington.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIR s :: Danger of an invasion of the Brit ish Isles appears to have vanished as winter weather closes in Oddly enough the last hostile force to land in Britain was America. John Paul Jones with 32 men landed at Whitehaven and tried to burn the British ships in the harbor One ship was set afire before the raiders were driven off. More than 75 major attempts have been made to invade England within 20 cen- turies, according to history. Astrol- ogers believe that because Hitler was unable to succeed in Septem- Der, 1940, when the planetary signs were more favorable than they have been at any time since, the peril is definitely a thing of the past.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pros perity, but risks in travel should be avoided. Domestic relations should be happy.
 Children born on this day will be sentimental regarding home and friends. They should be gifted in mind and gentle in nature. They will have many friends.

ported the Roosevelt Administration This paid him big political dividends last year when he was reelected despite the handicap of being a "Pendergast man.
 When the defense and foreign pol icy issues developed, Truman con- tinued to back the President. Clark graduated from anti-NeW Dealism to violent isolationism, but Truman did not swerve. He is exposing every dollar of waste and other failings of the defense program he can uncover, but he has voted for every defense and foreign policy bill sponsored by the President.
