DALLAS, Aug. Ex-senator W
Lee O'Daniel, who had pleaded
with the Texas electorate for an
overwhelming majority in the
senatorial primary run-off with
former Gov. James v. Alfred
moved into the lead late tonight
as rural votes rolled in.
If this election follows the pattern

Returns tabulated by the election
bureau at 1870 pm. gave Senator
ODaniel 504 per cent of the total
counted, with 382 ,626 to Mr.. Alfred

Alfred Took Early Lead.
Mr.. Alfred, 43-year-old Roosevelt
appointed former Federal Judge, had
held the lead since tabulations
started soon after the pools closed
at pm. AS long as returns were
coming from urban areas, he main
tanned a fair margin. But the
struggling rural votes from areas
where Senator O'Daniel has held a
firm grip on large section of the
electorate since his first plunge into
politics in 1888, again began to
give him the edge.
Mr.. Alfred said his defeat would
constitute repudiation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and said his oppo-
sition included "the big bankers and
oil millionaires who hate Roosevelt
first, last and always and Hitler
only incidentally"
Mr.. Alfred accused Senator

and that's what young Jimmy
Kennedy who lives on Central
avenue did the other day. He
got out his old cane pole and
the boys fished off the shore be-
cause the waves were too high
to venture out in a boat After
stringing squirming worms on
their hooks, the boy tossed out
his line and waited and waited,
with patient and determination
of old fishermen-and a lot of
anticipation. Suddenly the long
awaited event took place and
a struggle, but the two boys
landed three-pounder, and the
boys were real fishermen -
although their hearts was heavy
they wanted to obey the law.
Carefully, they unlocked the
beautiful plymouth bass and
turned him back into Buckeye
Lake, hoping against hope that
they might hook him again
after June Is.
Some people named O'Connell

with some people named Jones
on Rosebud avenue and found

War Prohibitions
Are Not Trivial

The War Production Board
scrutinized the list Of domestic
tools, utensils, gadgets and build
ing supplies of all kinds, and cut
every ounce Of steel possible out
of them.
Some of the prohibitions may
have seen trivial, but they are
not. For example, it was dis
covered that a class of toilet ar
ticles like manicure scissors, nail
files and nippers, cuticle pushers,
hairpins and bobby pins and
tweezers and gadgets for squeez-
ing blackheads, consumed 1875
tons of steel in 1941, enough to
make more than ITO big 155 mil
limeter guns-the blackhead
squeeZers alone claiming enough
steel for four such guns!
Factories that make such
things must convert to war pro-
duction.

from athletic events, entertain
ments, benefits, etc, as authoriz-
ed by the War Department may
contact the Post Executive Off
Ger, Fort Hayes.
To qualify for assistance, any
member of the Army or their de-
pendents may make application
to the nearest branch, in Colum-
bus and vicinity all applications
should be made to Army Emer-
gency Relief, Fort Hayes, or to
the Post Executive Officer, Fort

Corps include Fort Thomas, Ken

pointed out that qualifications
for assistance must be predicat-
ed on the need having occasioned
by: casualties resulting from
combat or accident; hardships
caused by sudden change of sta
tions of units or individuals or
other financial distress from
causes incident to the military
service for which Red Cross faci-
lities are not available.
Prompt investigation of all ap-
plications will be made both by
the Army Emergency Relief and
local chapters of Red Cross. Ap-
plicants approved will be given
assistant loans without interest
or outright grants. Other aid
can be given by relief in kind
such as food, fuel, medical and
dental care, assistance in secur-
ing pensions, compensations, in
surance and allotments.
