 "SISTIE" LAUNCHES A SHIP
 The optimistic note in the Presidents message to Congress has also been reflected in his manner recently. Before going on the floor of the House to de- liver his message, the President spent several minutes, chatting gaily with Congressional leaders and, spinning a yarn for the special benefit of Senate Repub- lican Leader Charles McNarye of Oregon. Henry Kaiser is turn- ing out Liberty ships at such a phenomenal rate in Oregon yards, the President told McNary, that his little grand daughter, Sis tie" Boettiger of Seattle, Wash, is comparing Kaiser to Superman.
 It seems that "Sistie" ("She's getting to be a pretty big girl now," said the President) was ia- vited by Kaiser to chriSten 8 ship at one of the Oregon yards. She was given a bottle of champagne and told to stand near the ways.
 But where's the ship?" Sis
 tie asked, according to her
 grandfather. s
 "JEst start swinging that bot
 tle," Kaiser instructed her. By
 the time you bring it down,
 ship will be there."
 HITLER'S STOOGES
 They aren't advertising it, but there is one excellent reason why isolationist Senators Wheeler of Mantana and Nye of North Da- kota are working so feverishly for an investigation of the Jus tice Department and its prosecu- tion of Hitler stooges in the USA.
 That reason is that they know some of the dynamite-laden eVi- dence now before the Justice De- partment which is sure to come out when these cases go to trial. That evidence shows that two Senators as having been used by the Nazi sympathizers and al- legged seditionists.
 Probably the two Senators did not know they were being used. Wheeler, at the time, told friends he was worried over definite, Nazi influences inside the American First Committee and that he had worked inside 1t to keep those influences down.
 However, the fact remains
 that Frank K. Ferenz, one of
 those indicted for seditiOn, Or-
 ganfzed the American First rally
 for Wheeler when he arrived
 in Los Angeles, and was one O.
 Wheeler's active supporters. Ferenz, according to evidence ; before the Justice Depart
 ment, had a sister in Germany
 who wrote him advice regarding ' job for der Fuehrer.
 Senator Nye, in turn, has lent , his frank to the Steuben Society, for which the Eteuben Society was fined by the Post Office De- partment. He has also been &C., tive behind -the-scenes In aiding the appeal of George Sylvester Viereck, already convicted for fail- ure to register as foreign agent and now indicted for sedition.
 Furthermore recent evidence
 before the Justice Department from an American long resident
 in Berlin quotes high-rankipg
 Nazis as saying that if war ' came, they had the U. s. A. or
 ganized and that Wheeler was \ their fav0rite Senator. While nobody who knows Senator
 Wheeler believes for a minute
 that he was 2 party to this, many do feel that he was un-
 wittingiy used by Nasi prOpa.
 gandists. ].
 At any rate all of these facts and more are expected to come out when the sediticn-pYopa- ganda cases 90 to, trial. Obvi- ! orsly, therefore, 1t is good stra- tegy on the part of the two serla- tors involved to attack the Jus tice Department in advance, Then when the evidence is brought out
