SOUNDS OF a SUMMER NIGHT

The summer nights arc pupuluIs

Fabulous sounds that | would SOP

There are the crickcts and their bril-

The katybirdS, the challenge of the
freight,
The owl intoncs his knottcd mono-
iogue,
The loon, his startling laughter.
From beyond
The pasture slope Il curious little
dog
Questions the ready voices from the
pond.
The cow-bcll's silver tongue moves
TO a whisper,
As thunder, low, SUft-spolicn, Dor

And suddenly the wind is brighter.

Guffey Row Still Seethes

Washington, Dec. 10-UP)-The bitter dispute ill the ranks of Sen ate Democrats r. ged on today with administration forces refusing to regard too. seriously the threats by two Carolina senators that south ern Democrats may bolt the party in 1914.
 The only tangible development in the Democratic ranks appeared to be the resignation soon of Senator Joseph F. Duffcy, D., Pa., as chair man of the senatorial campaign committee. Guffey touched off the outburst among the southerners when he said that their union with Republicans to emasculate the sol- dier vote bill constituted an "un- holy alliance"
 Guffey does not intend to resign until the selection of a successor acceptable to both northern and southern Democrats seeking re- election next year. Senate Demo- cratic Leader Berkley of Kentucky said today he had not done any, thing about 8 replacement. He said he was not the least bit afraid that southern Democrats would launch new political party which was threatened yesterday by Senator Ellison D. Smith, D., s. C.. and two days before by Senator Josiah w. Bailey. D., N. c.
 Both made the threat in protest ing Guffey's statement and his charge that the southerners were led into the alliance" by Senator Harry F. Byrd, D., Va.

Promised to China
By WMilam
 eeTguoon c

F'ormosa, thought of in terms ot tea and camphor, if at all, assumed importance in the war news recently when a force of U. s. bOmbers, some of them flown by Chinetse pilots, raided the air base at Shinchiku and the three-power conference de- creed that Formosa and the neigh boring Pescadores Islands would be restored to China when Japan sur- renders.
 One of the richest islands in the world, Formosa, occupied by the Japanese in 1895, supplies not only tea and camphor. but is Nippon's chief source of sugar. Strategically situated, FormoSa was used by the Japs as base from which to launch planes and ground forces against the Philippines in December. 1941.
 Only 100 miles from the coast of China, and within reaah of the Fourteenth U. S. Air Force, the is- land is likely major objective in the all-out air, sea. and land war against Japan proper, scant $50 miles north.
 Aside from the fishing industry, whence they get their Spanish name, the Pescadores are as poor as Formosa is rich, being unculti- vable and swept by constant storms but their possession by the Japs is a constant threat against Chinese and Allied forces.
