Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
tMa,or Robert 9. Allan on active dutso

WASHINGTON-If you ike eggs
fried, scrambled, or Easter-this
may interest you.
The high price of eggs will soon
come tumbling down. This Humpty-
Dumpty event will be brought about
by the sale OF five million cases OF
Government eggs.
War Food Administration, re-
spending to the prodding OF critics
admits that it was putting too many
eggs in one basket. for military and
Lend-Lease purposes. at the ex-
pense of civilian requirements.
Release of this tremendous guam
tity OF eggs won't alarm the house
wife, but worries war food experts
because it might discourage pro-
duction next year.
Meantime, War Food and OPA
are rowing over the price to be paid
for these five million cans OF cold
storage eggs. VITA officials, pro-
tecting the producers, Wantsa higher
price for cold storage eggs than
fresher ones.
OPA, thinking of the housewife,
saws. This is the first time we
ever heard that eggs become more
valuable as they get older!"
But War Food stands firm on the
principle that the old eggs should
bring more money Their reason
is that the old eggs were stored by
dealers who were playing the usual
seasonal game of holding for rise
in price, without realizing that the
Government was going to step in
and take over at the fixed price.
VANDENBERG AND MACARTHUR
A lot of people in 1910 thought
that COP Senator Arthur Vanden-
berg of Michigan might be the next
Republican candidate for President,
but Van himself now has different
ideas.

He's not thinking about this now.
His main ambition is to recapture
the Philippines and to wipe the
Japs out of the Pacific. But has
it ever occurred to you that he
could accomplish this objective
much better as Commander-in-
Chief, because he would then be in
a position to increase supplies to
the Pacific 'front.'"
do you think Macarthur could

Democrats Are Shocked
Al Recent Results OF
Elections in Off Year
by JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-Despite
brave comments to the contrary
Democratic political circles here
we're shocked at results of the Off
year elections.
The most stunning blow, of
course, was the loss of the COVER
norship in Kentucky. The election
of Simeon S. Willis marked the
fifth time in history and the first
time since the elections of 1927.
when Republicans were riding the
crest of prosperity and Coolidge,
that this important border state
has repudiated the Democratic
party.
However, there were other i'm
portant results: the huge majority
Republican Joe r. Hanley piled up
over William NJ Haskell who was
backed both by the Democrats and
the American Labor party for the
New York lieutenant governorship
the failure of the once powerful
Democratic Hague machine to stem
the Republican tide in New Jersey;
the plurality of more than $4,000
for Republican Mayor Bernard
Samuel over william C. Bullitt, in
Philadelphia, where the COP won
only by nostril in the 1912 cleo
tons.
What does it all mean? l have
talked to dozen political observers
here and the answer is almost in
variably: Nothing that hasn't been
known all along"
What they intend to convey is
that the Republican trend that
started somewhere after the 1886
elections is still under way; that
it is almost certain to result in the
election of a Republican House Of
Representatives next year and fur
ther inroads into the Democratic
majority in the Senate; but that it
means little in the presidential race
in 1914 if the Democratic nominee
is Franklin d. Roosevelt.
AS matter of fact, there are a
good many Republicans here who
privately agree with Leon Hender-
sons observation: President Roose-
welt will be reelected ithey make
the reservation, however, that only
If the war is still on) but that he
will have a Republican Congress

administration in the Senate

cans and anti-New Deal Senators.)
Holding out against this view are
those Republicans. principally lined
up behind Wendell L. Willkie. who
insist that If the war is still on,
there will be all the more reason To
name Republican. Their slogan.
in that event, will be: THE only
way to get across is to change horses
i'll midstream"
The election of Republican Lieu
tenant Governor Hanley in New
York Is considered here to be more
important in the presidential pic
ture in that it leaves the door wide
open for Thomas Dewey to be a
drafted candidate.
Had Haskell been elected, Dewey
would have been honor bound to
serve out his term in the Empire
state rather than turning it over
to the Democrats. In spite of
Dewey's declaration after the cleo
tlon that Il am not now and shall
not be a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination. political circles
here still think that he would accept
