U. s. Senator Mon Wallgren of Washington has withdrawn his ob- jection to the appointment of Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of the kAlaaka Road Commission, to the newly created post of area director for the manpower commission ln Alaska, apparently the last stumb- ling block before Taylor takes over his new duties. Wallgren, echolng the opinion first voiced by Senator Robert Reynolds Of North Carolina, questioned the creation of the pos ition rather than the actual ap- pointment of Taylor. He contended the job, ear-marked for S720O a year was unnecessary for an area including something over 72,O0O population. The Senator may have been thinking Of a lot of young chaps doing some mighty import ant jobs at 50 bucks a month. Or he may have been thinking of those days when Paul V. McNutt, Chair man of the Manpower Commission, was national commander of the American Legion and carried the ball for the soldiers of the last war who contended the way to handle a war setup was draft everybody at soldiers pay.
 Above the cannon's roar and the screech of the dive bombers can be heard the distant rumble of the political tom-toms as the boys and girls get lined up TOT next year presidential election. The pollsters are having a field day predicting who will be who, and after count less columns of figures and stat1s- tics, the war horses come to what appears to be a rather sound con- clusion-there are only two men in the race-Roosevelt and WiHkie. COPS Willkie has been campaign ing for four years. FDR has eight years edge on him. He's been at 1t for 12 years, come 1914, and lead CTS of both parties concede he is the man to beat; and probably the one who can't be beat if the war continues through another year. An interesting point is made by Walter Davenport, Golfers ace political re- porter who recently has been through the solid south checking up on some of the reports that the solid south isn't solid any more Davenport found much complaint a. gainst Roosevelt, the administration and the New Deal, but he failed t6 find any indication that southern Democrats, peeved as they may b. on many counts, were yet in anl mood to vote the Republican ticket When that day com-s most obsery CTS of southern politics admit, thu millennium isn't far off

 Indicating that Ar. Roosevelt isn't in such bad shape on the lab or front was the reaction following the congressional action of passing the Connally Smith Harness anti strike bill over the executive veto President vetoed the bill on ground it would do more to foment labo troubles than settle them. He of fered as a counter plan raising tn draft age and putting the boys il the army if they didn't want t work, but the Senate and Hous would have none of it and overrod the veto-244 to 10S in the Hous and 56 to 25 in the Senate, Mean while, letters poured in to the Pres ident's desk from labor leaders praising his veto and criticizinl the congressional action. Green Lewis, Murray and the rest of tn union boys won't forget that on when comes election time.
