Survivors of torpedoed ships will
be supplied with emergency cloth
ing kits by the Red Cross imme-
diately on their rescue at sea,
Chairman Norman H. Davis OF the
Red Cross announced today. Pro-
vided at the request of the Navy
Department, the kits will become
part of the regular stores of the
Navy's inshore patrol boats, convoy
escorts and other vessels engaged in
rescue work.
Previously, sailors aboard rescue
vessels gave or loaned their clothes
to the survivors until port was
reached, where the Red Cross could
provide apparel. The kit will Include
heavy underwear, socks, a pair of
slacks, slippers, a sweatshirt, tooth
brush, toothpaste, safety razor and
shaving cream.

resignation escape payment of his
union dues and assessments.
Perhaps it Is too much to say that
this goal has now been fully
achieved, but it Is entirely accurate
to say that great strides have been
taken toward it and that its COM
plete achievement seems in sight.
After we entered the war the labor
bosses, recognizing that public
sentiment would no longer tolerate
what had been going on, publicly
declared against strikes.
To a modified degree strikes In
their unions still continue, but the
bosses have disclaimed responsibility.
What they have devoted themselves
to since Pearl Harbor is the negoti-
ating of new agreements and the
making of new closed-shop demands.
In these they have been singularly
successful. With support of the
Government mediation agencies in
every case they have gotten most of
what they asked.
Industries Called Helpless.
The union maintenance formula
Is Just another name for the closed
shop and not only has been sane
toned by the War Labor Board, but
favored.
Industries with war contracts are
in no position to resist and have
almost uniformly yielded to this
demand, though knowing we'll what
yielding means.
In brief, the closed shop, which is
the dream of the professional labor
lobbyist, has pretty we'll been put
over. The union maintenance
scheme, which with the administra-
ton symathetic, there seems no way
to stop, not only puts industry
generally under the heels of the
labor bosses, but takes away from
the American workman his freedom
to work or to quit work, except on
the terms prescribed by the labor
bosses.
Having almost reached this goal,
the thing these bosses want now to
guard against is a setback. This is
the reason for their acute concern
about the personnel of the next Con-
gress and explains their plans for
election activity. They want to
eliminate any possibility Of the next
Congress passing legislation that
will curtail their power and restore
the freedom which the union main
tenance scheme has taken away.
To this end they want to eliminate
members OF Congress who have not
taken orders from the labor lobby in
the past and elect only those who
have taken or will take orders. Ac-
cordingly, in congressional districts
all over the country this fall one
candidate will be indorsed as
friend of labor" and the other op-
posed as an enemy of labor"

BY GOULD LINCOLN.


Another sitting Senator, Josh
Lee of Oklahoma. was renomi-
mated yesterday. The score now
is seven Senators renominated
to one defeated There remain
26 members of the present Sen
ate who must stand for renomi-
nation, If they choose to run, as
practically all of them do If the
present percentage of victories to
defeats continues, seven vic
tories out of eight contests,
the threatened effort to eliminate
sitting members in the primaries
will not have made many in
roads. There will still remain,
of course, the general elections In
November, where some other
changes are likely to take place.
There was bitter talk and many
predictions that Senator Lee
would be taken for a ride and
his political career cut short
1t did not happen, however. His
two principal primary opponents,
former Gov. Alfalfa Bill Muir
ray and Orel Busby an attorney,
were unable to make the grade.
There were four other unsuccess-
full contestants for the senatorial
nomination.
The Republicans have already
nominated former Senator Pine
to oppose Senator Lee in Novem-
Der. 1t would take a real political
upheaval to send Oklahoma into
the Republican column. That,
however, is just what some Re-
publicans have been hoping for.
Senator Lee has been a New
Dealer, supporter of the Presi-
dents national defense and for
eign policies. He went into the
campaign and forced the issue
along these lines. He charged
that both former Gov. Murray
and Mr.. Busby, before Pearl Har-
Dor, were playing with the Amer
lea First organization, which was
hostile to the entry of this coun-
try into the war, and also that
they opposed some national de-
fense measures of the adminis-
tration.
There was considerable resent
ment in Oklahoma not so long
ago over the New Deal. Indeed,
former Gov. Murray has been an
opponent of the administration
for a long time. 1t was in Okla
homa that an epidemic of letters
started, demanding that the 40
hour work week in national de-
fense plants be eliminated for
the duration of the war. Thou
sands OF these letters rolled in
on Senator Lee and other men,
bers of the Oklahoma delegation
in Congress. The drive spread
into other States. Action in
Congress was finally headed off
only when the highest officials
Of the Government in charge of
war work appeared before Senate
and House committees and urged
that no such step be taken.
Senator Lee, however, had
spoken in the Senate last year,
when strikes in defense plants
were holding up war production,
urging that legislation be enacted
to curb work stoppages in war
plants and also urging the aban-
donment Of the 40-hour work
week.
Two other Senators must de-
fend their right to run again for
another Senate term before the
end OF July, Senator Murray,
Democrat, of Montana, and
Senator ODaniel, Democrat, of
Texas. The Montana primary

CHICAGO, July 15.-The Rail-

Yesterday that 10000 retired rail-

If they would like to return to

Workers receiving annuities under

On the other hand, it is not
impossible that the Japanese
might attempt a diversion
against the United States with
some daring raid on Alaska or

The lesson they received at Mid

While the Japanese Navy and

together with the fact that Toxic

they may be used eventually as

Pacific and the length of the.

tempt local diversion hoping
that such action might force the

The Political Mill
Senutor Lee Renominuted in Oklahoma
Despite Resentment Over New Deal


primary, July 25. Both these
Senators have real fights on their
hands. In Montana Senator
Murray is opposed by former
Representative Monaghan, whom
Senator Murray defeated for the
nomination in 1886 by a close
vote.
Miss jeanette Rankin, the
woman who voted against the
participation of the United
States in the present and the
First World War, who is now
representing the 1st Congress
sional district of Montana in the
House, has not cast her bonnet
in the ring for denomination.
She is a Republican.
The Democrats hope to win
this district next November. But
whether they will or not depends
largely on the swing of the po-
litical pendulum. Her brother,
Wellington B. Rankin, is con-
tender for the Republican sena-
torial nomination. He has as op-
ponents Charles R. DaWley, serv-
ing as an officer in the United
States Army in Australia, and
former Representative Thorkel-
son.
Down in Texas, two former
Governors are after the scalp of
Senator O'Daniel. who was Gov
ernor himself just before he
came to the Senate to succeed
the late Senator Sheppard.
Former Gov. Murphy of New
Hampshire, according to the
latest reports from that State, is
bent on seeking the Democratic
senatorial nomination. Filing
does not begin until July II, how
ever. Gov. Murphy was Repub-
lican. He has, however, decided
that the COP is hopeless and
leaderless outfit and therefore he
is offering himself as a gift to the
Democratic forces of the State.
This is not pleasing to some old
time Democrats who would like
to make a bid for the Senate
themselves. But there is reason
to believe that the wealthy Mr..
Murphy may succeed in having
administration backing for the
nomination to run against Sena-
tor Bridges, Republican.
Senator Bridges for long time
has been an ardent critic of the
New Deal, although he was one of
the few Republican Senators to
go along 100 per cent in support
OF President Roosevelt's national
defense program before Pearl
Harbor.
Obviously if the administration
meant what its spokesmen have
said 1t meant. including the
President, there would be no
serious effort made to defeat
Senator Bridges for reelection.
The Presidents assertion was
that irrespective of party, men,
bers of Congress who supported
the defense program and the
foreign policies of the administra-
ton should be reelected. Mr..
Bridges, however, is not popular
with the New Dealers whom he
has criticized and attacked as re-
morselessly as any other Repub-
ican or old line Democrat.
Senator Bridges has again and
again demonstrated his strength
at the polls in New Hampshire.
He was Governor before he was
Senator. He had the support of
the New Hampshire delegation
for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1910. The political
wiseacres insist that he will win
again, whether or not Mr..
Murphy is his opponent.

Since the Midway battle the
Japs have lain quiet, licking their
wounds. Meanwhile they have
conducted a sideshoW in China
just to keep things going. A
country like Japan, with only
relative aggressive power, cannot
remain static.
Japanese navy yards and arse
nails are working night and day to
prepare for more spectacular
action. That Japan will return to
the limelight once more, probably
within the next few weeks, is a
foregone conclusion.
Following its usual pattern.
the japanese high command is
expected to strike along the line
of least resistance. Whether
Toxic will decide that Siberia
offers the best opportunity or
whether Axis strategy will dictate
another assault on the United
States or Australia Is difficult to
say.
Naval Plans Kept Secret.
Whether new aircraft carriers
will be commissioned to replace
those lost or damaged since Pearl
Harbor is equally a dark secret,
since Toxic keeps such matters
under tight cover. In contrast to
the United States, Japan permits
no news of it's imperial navy's
construction plans or when new
ships are launched or commits
stoned.

will not suggest that you put
on the overworked doctors
shoulders the task of handling
those minor beauty defects. War S
need for doctors suggest we just
forget about medical service for
external beauty alone.
But a periodic checkup on
your general health is essential
both to looks and to efficiency in
your wartime occupations, so l
certainly would try to avoid
skipping that this year. 1t might
save a great deal of money and
time. For skin, hair, figure prob

that's the efficient way and the

Though less is heard of civilian
losses of dentists to the fighting
forces, their number is increas-
ing. And nothing is so impera-
tive, for the facial animation
which is the whole key to charm
nowadays, as teeth which look
and are healthy and well-cared
for.
Again, l won't insist on your
getting shining white caps to

although sound inside, have col

gest any of the many things a
