Hottest congressional fight In
the metropolitan area is in the
First District. which embraces
part o. the east side Of Detroit
and the City of Hamtramck.
Always a stormy area politically,
and consistently Democratic since
1880. the voters of the district
enter campaign fights with zest
that turns neighbors into enemies
and politicians into enthusiastic
schemers.
\ Although there are five candi-
dates this year for the Demo-
cratic nomination. the main
attraction is the fight between
Congressman Rudolph c.. Ten
erowicz, the incumbent. and for
mer Congressman George G.
Sadowski.

Payoff Shows
Banks Sound,
Mcleod Says

Announcement that the First
National Bank will pay rs per
cent interest to depositors of the
bank holiday period was cited to-
day by Clarence ]. Mcleod as
proof of the soundness of Detroit's
financial institutions when they
were closed in 1888.
The interest follows the pay
off of 100 per cent.
Mcleod. a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Con-
lgress in the Thirteenth District,
was author of the 1894 banking
act under which depositors have
received their money.

ness Of Detroit banks from the
beginning" he said. "My bill
was introduced at a time when
many deposit0rs were led to
believe they might not receive
10 cents on the dollar.
Instead, they have been paid
In full and now they are to re-
ceive interest"
McLeod's bill enabled the gov
ernment to purchase the assets
of closed banks, thus starting the
successive payoff.
eft was one OF the bitterest
fights I'm congressional history"
the former congressman re-
called. "But the measure finally
passed and was signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt n year to a day
from the morning that the Dei
troit banks were not allowed to
reopen"
Besides battling for the bill ir
Washington, Mcleod took the
tissue to the public by making
numerous speeches from coast Il

was aroused.

Van Waeoner, Kelly

The state h,ghwa. departmen
has completed its first poll o.

Harry F. Kelly running neck-and-

IL has been astoniShingly accurate
from the tirle that Van Wagner

The poll showed in 1884 that
Frank d. Fitzgerald easily would
defeat Arthur ]. Lacy for the gov

Fitzgerald would lose in 1886.

Served Three Terms

After a term in the state sem
ate, Sadowski was elected to Con-
gress in 1882 and served three
terms. He was defeated four years
ago by Doctor Tenerowicz, a for
mer Hamtramck mayor. Doctor
Tenerowicz now is completing his
second term.
This year their fight may be
close. because many labor and
Negro leaders who supported Ten.
erowicz two years ago have turned
against him on the ground that his
isolationism prior to December Z
did not reflect the sentiment OF
the district.
The congressman broke with the
administration and voted against
the selective service act, the lend
lease act. extension of the draft
and the bill to seize the ships OF
nations which are now our ene-
mics.
Sadowski is contending that this
record did not express the desires
of the districts voters, particu-
larly the thousands who are OF
Polish descent.

executives and associates is stressed by
Thad A Stevenson. Chamber of Commerce
secretary-man in the current issue OF
the Chambers Tacoma Progress publica-
ton. First quoting James Louttit who
built the states first ferro chrome plant
THAT of the Ohio Ferro Alloys Corporation)
here in Tacoma as saying that the industrial
future of Washington depends on the three
pillars of power. coke and industrial water,
Stevenson goes on the point out the fol-
lowing:
Tacoma will soon have the only coke
plant on the Pacific Coast excepting petro-
leum coke, and it is destined to write much
history in future payroll operations.
"Ferro chrome is a new industry and II
requires large amount of coke. Ferro
silicon is new industry and il likewise re-
qures much, much coke. Carbide is already
here and il too is supported by coke. There
is to be a great magnesium plant IN the
state and it will require thousands of tons
of coke annually There is to be great
aluminium strip mill in Spokane and it must
have a constant flow of coke.
THE nation is looking to the Northwest
for a vast amount of primary phosphorus
and no coke, no phosphorus. The state is
apparently destined for great nitrogen
plant and nitrogen too requires coke in
abundance.
THE army's chemical warfare division
will be looking to us for generous amount
of INT and this means more coke-and this
is just the beginning.
"Out of coke comes cresylic acid. Cresy-
lie acid makes the bombs go boom. So
the state gets a cresyc acid plant. When
we make coke we also make creasote and
there are lot of railroad ties to be treated
between here and there. Out of coke comes
resins for the making of plastic. Out of
coke comes benzol which steps up the power
of gasoline.
'Out of coke comes gas that will be
pumped into the present mains, for sale TO
the public.
''For many years people have been
dreaming about making steel in the North
west Steel cannot be made without coke
and the coke will be made in Tacoma. In
truth, probably 80 per cent of the drugs in
the drug stores are based on coke, but for
the present we shall see it used primarily in
the electro metallurgical industries in
Washington and Oregon"
That brief summary should reveal to
great degree the vast potentialitles involved
in establishment of the coke industry here
And who knows but what steel making may
follow in its wake? lndustrially. Tacoma's
future appears absolutely assured.

. Most With the Least

An American general once staked out Tor
himself permanent place IN dictionaries oil
quotations by observing that the way to
win wars was git thar fustest with the
mostest" Another way to look upon things
during such trying times is do the mostest
with the leastest.'
And many Americans are doing great
and good things these days with very little
not great in the sense. possibly, Of build
ing tanks. plotting bombers or buying
$1,000 defense bond every payday. But
they are doing something.
Mrs. w. A. Marsh of Dallas. Tex. started
a drive to collect enough in pennies, nckels
and dimes to pay Gen. Douglas Macarthur
income tax. She understood, and quite cor
rectly, that he would be too busy TO file that
necessary return by March 10.
The other day Mrs. Marsh got S1.50
money order for her fund Certainly wasn't
enough to satisfy the tax man, or make her
fund topheavy But it was signed, The
Boys of Camp Tyson. Tenn. -S21-a-month
lads who not only earn their 81, but proba-
bly, need it themselves. They wrote:
I'VE. the soldiers of Camp Tyson, APP
plaud your efforts in raising fund for
General MacArthur's income tax. We hope
our slight generosity will reinforce your
fund In doing this we hope that other
camps of Uncle Sans army will help, for
General Macarthur is man that we all try
our very best to follow, and some day some
of us wish TO be with him."
Here are men already doing all that could
be expected of them, serving in the armed
forces in time of war, ready TO give up their
lives if necessary. Yet the spirit of America
moves them to dig down among their not too
numerous pennies and dimes and come up
with something for the man the Japs can't
lick the man who drives the Japs to hari-
kari.
These boys are what some refer to as
the little people. They don't do much social
butterflying on S21 a month; they don't
crash the gossip columns with accounts of
their night club fighting, or make headlines
because they refuse to work or sign con
tract, or demand big wages, profits or prices
Yes, they are little people and it's the
millions of people like them who keep plug
gng away at little things that win big wars
After all, they know what happens when
the Nazi lash bites into the backs of little
people.
