FDR AND PAPPY

The hairbreadth victory of Gov ernor Lee ("Pass the biscuits, Pap py") O'Daniel in the Texas senator ial election was a tough blow to President Roosevelt, who openly espoused his young Congressional lieutenant, 32-year-old Lynd n Johnson.
 It also was tough blow to elo- quent Senator Tom Connally, who, while publicly protesting his neu- trality, was plugging for Attorney General Gerald Mann of Texas, No. 3 man in the race.
 With the race over, the President is resigned to ODaniel's election, but Connally is still a bit unified by the failure of his candidate He voiced this disappointment when he accompanied a group of Congress sional leaders to the White House for a legislative conference. Spotting Connally, the President inquired cheerily.
 Tom, when is Pappy coming to town? I'm anxious to get look at his band"
 Connally cogitated for moment, then shot back with a grin:
 q don't know but I do know if you hadn't butted into the election, he wouldn't be coming to town at all"

Inspired Jungle Clash
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The calm and solidarity of the Western Hemi- sphere has been rudely disrupted by the outbreak of jungle war between Peru and Ecuador This out break of border dispute more than century old did not just occur, it inspired, and the situation calls for the immediate, friendly intervention of the United States and other American countries
 Naturally, both countries claim the other at tackled their outposts in the river jungles east of the Andes The region is believed to be potentially rich in minerals and oil but access to it is impos- sible from the coastal strips which constitute the inhabited parts of both Ecuador and Peru.
 Ecuador, with 3,OOO,OOO population, less than half that of Peru, has been the main hotbed of Nazi propaganda in South America. Anti-American and pro- German feeling has strong there, thanks to three papers published by the Nazis Rafael Pino Rocco, decorated by Hitler, who nomnally holds controlling shares of the German arlines, Sedte, is brother-in-law of President Carlos A. Arroyo and constantly contributes to the German press.
 Many treaties fixing the border have been signed in the last 50 years. Invariably they have been broken. In 1886 delegates from both countries visited Washington and asked President Roosevelt arbitrate the dispute if they could not come to an agreement themselves He agreed to do Since then the negotiations have failed and now, at time when all the world is in flames, this outbreak
 The United States has successfully medated other frontier arguments in Latin America particu larly the old between Peru and Chile over Tacna- Africa. This one is even more important be- cause of its implications. It is not difficult, sdering the extent of Nazi penetration in Ecuador to the hand of Berlin in the Western Hemisphere gives the Nazis an opportunity to tell Washington to put its own house in order before helping Britain in what Berlin euphemistically calls European affairs. This should be done promptly with the aid of other American states. There is neither time inclination to tolerate a war in our midst.

movement that expelled Lewis from the AFL as a wrecker.
 For six years their fued famed. In 1886, Lewis went all-out for Roosevelt, and Hutchinson did the same for Landon as Chairman of the COP Labor Campaign Commit tee. Then in 1940, they suddenly became friends again through their common hatred of Roosevelt.
 Lewis answered Hutchinson's tele- gram with a cordial letter. This was followed several months later by a secret meeting in New York. They have had at least one other, more recently.
 It iS.definitely known that at this meeting the reunited pals exchang- ed notes on their common hatred, that man in the White House." and also discussed AFL-CIO peace.

trades executive council meeting in Chicago this week, but about which labor chiefs are very curious.
 This is the sensational inside word that William c'Big Bill"c Hutchin- son, boss of the carpenters, has been secretly pow-wowing with the man he once slugged in spectacular Atlantic City fist fight-John L. Lewis.
 Just why Lewis and Hutchinson have put their heads together is a mystery. But strongly suspected is a Lewis scheme to spring a surprise peace move with AFL.
 The AFLers are for peace, but not one that would enable Lewis to make himself the master of united labor movement. This is exactly what he is believed to have up his sleeve.
 The AFL chiefs recall very vividly Lewis answer to Secretary Frances Perkins when she urged him several years ago to use his powerful influ- ence to bring the AFL and CIO together.
 T will bring peace to labor" he rumbled, when it suits my purpose to have peace"
 Privately, AFL leaders make nc bones that they are very leery of c John L. Lewis festooned with olive branches. They don't trust him anc want no part of him in any guise

VOLUNTEER OR DRAFTEE?

In less than six weeks about 55 Juneau men, members of units of the Alaska National Guard, will be leaving for Chilkoot Barracks and Anchor age to receive year or of intensive army training possibly to those bases as points from which they will move into actual conflict in World War II.
 Probably inside month after the departure of the guardsmen, they will be followed by the first draftees inducted into the new army of this nation
 But draftees have voice in naming the post to which they to be sent for training, and the road to promotion and officers grade for most draftees may be long one.
 It is with those thoughts in mind that many a young man about Juneau these days is toying with the idea enlistment in the National Guard before the local unit is inducted into actual service. And it is certainly not easy decision to make With many of the potential draftees already launched in business enterprise of their own, or holding a responsible position in some business, where they have excellent chances for advancement thoughts of "chuckng it all for army berth not too pleasant
 Still those whose draft order numbers low in the list and know they will be called among the first are faced with the stern fact that they are going to be forced to take army training anyway In opposition to a patriotic impulse or adventurous nature which will draw others into the service as voluntary enlstees, these fellows have the sense problem confronting them of whether they will be better off" to await induction via the draft board enlist voluntarily and leave with the guard
 Certainly, minds will be made up by a desire to be with their friends from Juneau. Outside of the comradshp of their unit, others may be influenced by knowledge that their chances of officerships rather than serving buck prvates
 
 At the present time, there are only 60 men in Con- pany A. Some of the men in the company will be exempt from service because of dependents, that only about 55 mentioned before will leave Juneau for the training period. At the training quarters selectees will be sent to the company to fill it to the

KNOWN FACTS

Known facts about the Lewis Hutchinson get-together are the following:
 Big Bill" made the first overture in telegram congratulating Lewis on his radio broadcast bolting to Wendell Willkie. Before that, for six years, they had been bitter ene- mics, although once close AFL and COP pals. As late as 1882, Lewis and Hutchinson went down the line together for Hoover against Roose- welt.
 The MIRA, with its famed Section Ia, rescued the United Mine Workers from the scrap heap, switched Lewis to the New Deal. Turning on his old AFL buddies, and after swapping blows with Hutchinson at the At lantic City convention, Lewis set up the CIO with the backing of Sidney Hillman and his independent Amal- gamated Clothing Workers. Raging with vengeance, Hutchinson led the

 Is the guard anxious to have more men join up" before the company is nducted into service?
 Major w. Roy Mulvihill, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, stationed in Juneau will that question in the decided affirmative
 National guard units, he explains, are being inducted into service first so they may a nucleus for the draft army which will follow. It will fall to the lot of the guardsmen to train the material from Alaskan towns recruited by draft. The stronger the training force be built up be- fore the draftees begin arriving at camps the more efficiently and rapidly the untrained be whipped into first class fighting units.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel'
FRIDAY, AUGUST i

Benefic aspects rule the morn ing hours, but later adverse plane tary influences are active. The eve ming is threatening with Mars ir evil sway.
 Heart and Home: The mino should be clear and the menta vision exact under this sway. Il is fortunate date for letters and pleasant messages from loved ones may be expected. Disappointments relating to plans for entertaining friends or making short trips are indicated. In the household- the problem of domestic help may be a bit discouraging. Warning is given that women of every Iclass will find it expedient to become proficient in whatever contributes to the comfort and weli-being of the household.
 Business Affairs: With the unem- ployment situation thing of the past this month will continue to be marked by prosperity, but. the expense of maintaining defense forces will be greater and greater The seers warn that unnecessary limitations placed upon certain commodities will cause discontent among large numbers of citizens. Wise foresight will obviate incon- veniences that can be avoided. Dan ger of strange manifestations of war hysteria is indicated.
 National Issues: Sacrifices will be preached to American peoples, but the stars preSage discontent because of various inconsistencies in the distribution of oil and other war essentials. The fact that enemy forces have profited by supplies sent from the United States will cause bitter criticism in view of depleted stores which alarm those who look forward to severe experi- ences resulting from the second world war and its spreading ef- fects.
 International Affairs: According to the stars the gradual entangle- ment of the United States in the second World War was inevitable. Astrologers long have advised the people to make the most of their opportunities to protect their eco- homie futures. While there are por- tents that emphasize this year as the decisive one in the complex conflict, time is seldom exactly computed when the relation of as- poets and events is desired. Ten years of upheaval and change are forecast by many seers, although configurations presaging peace ne- gotiations are carefully read.

not despair. Np
 These same people are hardly aware that today another trade agreement, to take the place of the one which was abandoned, is about to be signed. U. $. Ambassador to Argentina, Norman Armour is on his way by plane from Washington to Bueos Aires. He has the agreement in his brief case. When he reaches the Argentine capital, the papers will be signed. ss
 Negotiation has been accomplished with little fuss and no fury. Reason for the change of atmosphere is not so much any difference between the two agreements as a difference in the world scene. syas The agreement will almost cer- tairly cut the tariffs on Argentina $ three principal products of export to U. s. - linseed, canned beef, and wool. It will also reduce tariffs on a great number of new products Argentina has recently been sending to this country-champagne, wines, \ cheese, anchovies. tungsten, beryl- ium. leather goods, etc.
 But negotiation has been easy. World interest has shifted. U. s. farm leaders, who normally make the greatest protest, realize that shortage of shipping and high freight rates will keep down imports from Argentina. no matter how low the tariffs may be.
 Thus the importance of the agree ment is only psychological for the time being. But it gives Argentina a foothold which may prove sub stantial benefit when the war is over.

FOR
AN INCEASE
OF PASTURACE

Because of the greatly reduced
yield of pastures and hay crops, due
to the severe spring drought, the Uni
versity CT Maryland agronomy de-
partment suggests that farmers con-
slider planting crops now that will
supply additional hay and pasture
during the summer. Sudan grass and
soybeans, grown alone or in mixture,
are recommended for such use.
Sudan grass, it is stated, may be
used for either hay or pasture. For
good growth, it requires rich, we'll
drained soil, and seed bed prepared
as for corn, with 300 to 400 pounds
of 4-12-4 fertilizer applied at seed
ing time. Although Sudan grass can
be seeded a much as a month after
normal complaining time, heaviest
yields are usually obtained by seed
ing about two weeks after time for
planting corn. 1t is recommended
that it be seeded with a grain drill
with all feed cups open, at the rate
of 20 to rs pounds to the acre. A
grain drill set to sow two pecks of
wheat will ordinarily ow about 20 to
rs pounds of Sudan grass seed. Depth
of seeding should not exceed two
inches.
Sudan grass is ready for grazing
when it is a foot or more tall, which
requires from four to six weeks.
Grazing before it reaches that height
Injuries the plant and decreases later
growth. All types of livestock Craze
upon it readily. If used for hay, it
should be harvested before full bloom,
so that later growth can be used eth
err for grazing or for additional hay.
Soybeans seeded alone are often
used as hay crop. The recommend
ed rate is one and one-half to two
bushels to the acre. Either the Will
son or Virginia variety is suitable for
this purpose. The recommended fer
tilizer application is $50 to 800
pounds to the acre of an 0-14-6.
Where soybeans are grown on the
land for the first time in several
years, it is important that they be
innoculated.
Seeding Sudan grass and soybeans
in a mixture has two distinct advan-
tages. The hay is more easily cured
than that from straight seeding of
soybeans, and it is higher in protein
content than that obtained from a
straight seeding of Sudan grass. The
