Willkie'S l944 Ideas

Before Wendell Willkie left for Russia and China, he had an interesting conversation with Harold Mo5kovit, of the Afiliat- cd Young Democrats of New York, which sheds significant light on Willkie's ideas for l944
 Mosk0Vit asked Willkie why he hadn't run for the New York gubernatiorial nomination, as many of his friends had urged him to do. to keep Tom Dewey off the ticket.
 Willkie replied that he had considered the matter carefully, but found that he had only about 50 percent of the Republican ma chine in New York with him, and friends had advised him not to run without machine support. Then Willkie added:
 NY own party IS getting more and more conservative, and Pm worried over whats going to hap pen when it comes to writing the peace. We cannot make the same mistake we made after the last war and let the isolationists get control. Isolationist Republican obstruction after the last war was tie greatest contribution that was ever made to this war, and we can't go on fighting wars every twenty years.
 But, continued W,illkie your own party isn't much bet ter. The conservative Democrats seem to be coming back into pow CT to such an extent that there isn't much difference between the Republicans and the conserV- ative Democrats"
 Willkie went on to say that he would watch the elections very carefully this November to see what the score Was, on the el-

The Story Behind Closing Gold Mines

WASHINGTON Behind Don aid Nelson's plans to close the gold mines of the nation was a backstage argument with Secre- tary Ickes who long asserted that ii was foolish to mine more gold only to bury it in the ground at Fort Knox.
 Ickes and his Bureau of Mines proposed early last summer to use gold mining labor and ma chinery for the production of much needed tin and copper.
 Among other things he propos cd that the Homestake Mine in the Black Hills of South Dakota, one of the largest in the United States, be closed and its machin- cry moved 20 miles to an import ant tin deposit
 While the United States does not have tin deposits of high grade ore, it does have tin which can be mined profitably in war time. And with cargoes of Bol- ivian tin being sunk in the Car ibbean. 1t was vital to open tin production inside the United States.
 However, when this was pro posed to E. VogelSang, chief of WIPES Tin and Lead branch, he acted just as leisurely as he did before Pearl Harbor when he stalled for months before okay- ing an American tin smelter in the United States. Vogelsang tried to stall Ickes by saying that he was having tin specialists ex- plore and sample the tin de- posits
 At this Ickes wrote a hot letter to Donald Nelson, asking him whether or not he really want ed 10 get tin out fast and in sub stantial quantities. Ickes point cd out that the Bureau of Mines had been studying U. s. tin de posits for years knew their ex- tent and quality to the last It." and there was no use wasting more time, with Vogelsang's pussyfooting survey.
 Nelson has such myriad war moves under his far-fung depart ment that he cannot keep his fin gers on all of them. And he has not yet cleaned out the dead wood which delays things. But when the gold question finally got to his desk he decided to close the gold mines of the na- tion.
 Note Wendell Lund, director or WIPES Labor Production Div ision, also had been urging that gold mines be closed to divert gold miners to copper mining. But he was opposed by Wilbur Nelson, head of the WIPES min ing section and by Senator Ed Johnson from the gold-minine state of Colorado.

Clerks at Penney Store
Make Record Bond Sales

While they carry practically no
stock of them, the clerks at the lo-
cal j. C. Penney store are finding a
ready sale for war savings bonds, ac-
cording to Manager Alvin Cheney
AS a matter Of fact, the store is
really going to town on the bond
selling deal. -
The Penney stores all over the
country have been entered a contest
to see which store could sell the
most. The Kennewick store, while
getting poor start, is now right up
among the leaders in the smaller
communities. The organization has
a big contest among the stores and
each of the stores has a contest
among the individual clerks.
During recent week a store in
Oregon sold one and a half times as
much in bonds as the gross merchan-
disc totals-but found that even so
it was one of the best weeks the
store had experienced. This same
thing applied on a lesser scale in
the local store, MIR. Cheney said. The
sale of bonds hasn't slowed down
the sale of merchandise, for the local
store has broken all sales records
during the past month.

Swimmers Should Guard
Against Typhoid Infection

Bathers are warned that both the
river and the irrigation canals are
contaminated and protection against
typhoid should be received before
using these waters. The warning
comes from DR.. Ripley, in charge Of
the newly organized health center.
His report follows:
A survey OF the swimming facili-
ties in Pasco and Kennewick reveals
the following:
Yakima puts untreated sewage
into the Yakima river, which is
about 100 river miles upstream. The
water samples taken at the PaSco
beach and IN the Kennewick Irri-
cation ditch are contaminated. IL
anybody does go swimming there,
they should at least get protection
from one Of the water born diseases,
namely Typhoid. This protection
can be gotten either from their ply
stefan or from the Health Dept. in
the Pasco courthouse. This typhoid
danger may seem remote with no
cases Of typhoid in this county IN
the past few years, but that beach
is potentially dangerous. The wad-
ing pool in the park near the court
house gets chlorinated water, but
too many people are using the pool
to make it safe for use.

Glass Collector Now
Has Fan" Mail"

Since Mrs. j. II. Siegfried made
her talk over the radio about her
collection of glassware, she has been
receiving patches of "fan" mail. In
her talk, Mrs. Siegfried mentioned
that her collection lacked a cup
plate. This week she received two
very rare specimens from one of her
listeners. .-. r. <..E -s-e
These cup plates, apparently, were
little saucers which were used back
in the old days when it was the Gus
tom to pour the coffee or tea into
the regular saucer to blow" it and
also drink from. The little cup
plate was to set the cup on during
this process. The ones received were
of the 13-heart design, each heart
representing one of the original col
onieS. ---. ~
Another collector wrote that she
had a collection of sixty of the cup
plates and would be glad to show
them. Curiously, there was but one
of her letters which smacked Of
commercialism. The rest OF them
were all of genuine interest.
