Spangler Sees Plot
To Use War Politically
To Re.eIect Roosevelt
COP Choirmon Says
New Deal Democrats.
Are Getting Idea Across

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Harrison
Spangler, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee,
charged today that New Deal
Democrats were using the war
politically by attempting to build
up a conviction that you can't
beat the Commander in Chief"
He said at a press conference
that for the last six or eight weeks
some columnists and spokesmen for
the New Deal have been saying that
President Roosevelt couldn't be
beaten in 1914 if the war was still
being fought.
"And they've done a darn good
Job of putting across the idea" Mr..
Spangler admitted, but I don't be-
lieve them. It's New Deal propa-
ganda, indicating that the Demo-
Gratis are uneasy about what's 60
ing to happen next year,"
The Republican leader asserted
that although the President was the
Commander in Chief of the Army
and Navy, he is not commander in
chief of the miners or of the citi-
zens," and that New Dealers were
using his title for a political build-up.
Mr.. Spangler was in Chicago to
preside at a conference of Re-
publican leaders from 16 States,
meeting here to discuss preparations
from 16 States, meeting here to dis
cuss preparations for the 1914 cam
paigns. He said the executive ses-
Sions were routine in nature and not
concerned with presidential candi-
dates or party policies. State lead
ers attending the sessions bore him
out.
The national chairmen reported
that party leaders told him there
was continuing swing away from
the New Deal in the Middle West,
particularly among farmers. Party
Satisticians, he said, had found
that per cent of the farmers who
voted for Mr.. Roosevelt in 1910
would vote against him today, and
that the same sentiment was eX-
pressed by per cent of the labor
vote
Attacks owl propaganda"
"We have a good chance to carry
two border States-Kentucky and
Oklahoma" Mr.. Spangler said. I'VE
expect to win the governorship in
Kentucky this fall and also in New
Jersey, where the party has agreed
on ex-senator Walter E. Edge as
the nominee. The Democrats and
New Dealers in New Jersey are
quarreling like cats and dogs"
Mr.. Spangler attacked the Office
Of War Information as putting out
"eight-tenths propaganda and two
tenths war information. He said
the block system organized by the
Office of Civilian Defense was
nothing more than a political sys-
tenn similar to that built up in
Germany to establish the one-party
Nazi government.
The Republican Postwar Advisory
Committee, Mr.. Spangler said, prob
ably would hold its organization
meeting late in July, after the ad-
Journment of Congress
The conferences of national COM
mitteemen and women and State
chairmen were scheduled to con-
tmue tomorrow. Party leaders were
attending from Arkansas, Colorado,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,

With Honored Friend.
I am speaking to you now from
the White House in Washington, -
the British leader said where am
staying with my honored friend, the
President Of the United States.
These are great days. They are like
the days in Lord Chatham's time of
which it was said you had to get up
very early in the morning not to
miss some news of victory.
"Ah! But victory is no conclusion.
Even final victory will only open
new and happier field of valiant
endeavor The victories gained by
the way must be spur.
I'VE are gathered here now with
the highest professional authorities
in all the fighting services of the
two great English-speaking nations,
to plan we'll ahead of the armies
who are moving swiftly forward.
Must Take Burden.
The Prime Minister said that the
Home Guard must become capable
OF taking great deal of the burden
OF home defense on themselves and
thus setting free the bulk of our
trained troops for the assault of the
strongholds of the enemy's power"
1T is this reason" he added,
which above all others has prompt
ed me to make you and all Britain
realize afresh by this Home Guard
celebration and demonstration the
magnitude and lively Importance of
your duties and of the part you have
to play in the supreme cause now
gathering momentum as it rolls for
ward to its goal"
Terming the Home Guardsmen a
vital part of the forces defending
Britain against invasion, Mr..
Churchill said he was certain that
this force would make it clear to
any Nazi Williams dropping by para
chute at night from the skies that
they have not alighted in the
poultry-run, or the rabbit farm, or
even the sheep-fold. but that they
have come down in the lions den at
the Zoo."

Retail Trade Slows
In Week, but Holds
Above Year Ago
Forward Buying Drops,
Emphasis on Quality
Goods Continues
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 14.-Retail buy
ing this week declined from the level
OF the previous week but continued
5 to 10 per cent above the like 1912
period, Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc, re-
ported today.
Forward buying diminished but
sales of quality goods still were on
the uptrend. Promotional demand
was reduced as compared with a
year ago because of wartime short
ages and curtailments of merchan-
disc.
Installment account receivables of
furniture, household appliances and
jeWelry stores continued to fall off.
Repair services in housefurnish-
ing and clothing lines have been in
troduced in many department stores
with the idea of conservation.
With rising temperatures came
demand for housewares, summer
furnishings, paint and cleaning
items. A squirt in turnover of sum-
mer apparel also was felt in some
sections of the country. Pattern
and piece goods sales were about
double of last year.
Regional percentage increases
were estimated at: New England,
70 6; East, to 10; Middle West,
to 3; Northwest, 3 to 6; South,
8 to IL; Southwest, 16 to 20, and
Pacific Coast, II to 16.

Agattu Island also. They relin-
quished their positions on Agattu in
the fall. Attu became a stepping
stone on their communications line
to established bases in the Kuriles
Islands north of Japan and Kiska
became the main base, probably be-
cause it is the largest of the three
islands they seized and affords the
best anchorages.
Kiska's Installations.
Their installations at Kiska in
clude a seaplane base. submarine
base and anti-aircraft positions
which they constantly expanded
and improved during the fall,
winter and spring. 1t seemed likely
the japanese counted on using
Kiska principally as a point for
operations against American supply
lines to Russia if and when Russia
became involved in the Pacific war
and American supply lines to Kam-
chatka ran through the North Pa
cific.
The next major development in
the campaign came in September
and was partially announced by the
Navy in October-the movement of
Army Air Forces into the Andreanof
Islands 2l2 miles east of the Jap
anese base. On May 7, the same
day the existence of the Amchitka
base was revealed, the Navy disclosed
that the main ha GO in tho Ap6roapofe
was on Adak Island.
Bad weather characteristic of the
Aleutians in winter-winds, fog, snow
and rain-held offensive aerial
operations to minimum, but with
March the real offensive against
Kiska began. The enemy positions
on Kiska were raided "a times in
March as against in February and
in April they were bombed 145 times.

TOMATO TECHNIQUE
Boston Herald)

There are two schools of, thought
about the proper cultivation of tomatoes.
One school advocates pruning to single
stalk and stalking it. The other lets the
vines run rampant over frame. There
is third school, but it is not school
of thought. It's practice is to let the vines
wander over the ground, which does away
with thought, and generally with the
tomatoes.
Both legitimate schools have experienc-
ed champions. 1t would be the part of
folly to take sides. But one thing can
safely be said even in the presence of the
most ardent spokesman of the rampant
method-the gardener who trims to
single stalk and ties to stake gets more
smell out of his tomatoes than the other
fellow.
1t is not the smell of the tomato itself,
which is quite different. 1t is the smell
of the foliage and sap Of course, the
rampant partisan will get some of it,
even if he just stands by his frames on
hot day and inhales. But he will get it
in full richness like the man who clips
off the side shoots and extra stalks, gets
the sap on his hands and ties the stalk
to its stake week after week as it ascends.
No use trying to describe this smell
Did anyone ever succeed in describing
an odor? An unknown odor remains un-
known till your own nose experiences it.
But the odor given off by we'll grown
tomato vines in the summer sun is some
thing those who do know it never forget.
1t is not perfume, for there is no sweet
in it. But there is no sour, either. 1t is
racy. with little bitterness. In fact,
it is the smell of tomato vine.
Of course the pruner gets his hands
black. but not so black as a cranberry
picker, and it easily washes off He also
has an opportunity at each stake to count
the number of fruits on the stalk and to
gloat over their swelling contours and the
red that is blushing them. He can nip off
a few leaves to let in more sun and hasten
the ripening. He can quicken the action
of his salivary glands in pleasant antici-
patton as he prunes, ties, and smells. 1t
is easy to see why the other school of
cultivation does not appeal to him.

THERE IS NO EVIL
WHICH BRINGS NO GOOD

There is no evil that does not bring
some good with it.
That garbled version of an old idiom
might well be used with reference to
the war in the Pacific.
If Japan had not stabbed us when she
did we would never have been in the stu
alton we are now in. We would not have
realized the long-suppressed desires of
the little yellow men to rule the world.
We would not have been in the position
which we now enjoy of being able to
check those ambitions and to be able to
insure that they will never be realized.
For many years few far-sighted men
warned of japanese aspirations but they
were not many and we are peace-lov
ing people.
Formosa, Korea, Manchuria were taken
by treacherouS attacks. China was in
vaded when the Japs thought she would
be unable to put up successful resistance.
Those places were far away and the
murder and rape was not happening to
us.
But then came Pearl Harbor and the
Japs' big mistake of Understanding our
recuperative and fighting powers.
When the horrors of war as practiced
by the japanese were brought home to
us by their favorite Misunderstanding
until the enemy is off balance and then
striking-we awoke.
Now we know the way our enemy fights
and we are prepared to crush him.

EMBARRASSING A
fine GENERAL
(Santa Barbara News-Press)

(Santa Barbara NewS-PreSS)
The Republicans who are talking Gen.
Douglas Macarthur for their party's
presidential candidate in 1914 must be
causing that fine soldier considerable
embarrassment.
A good general, engaged in a long, ard
uous and dangerous campaign against
vicious enemy of his country, does not
willingly retire from the field in the
midst of the fighting to seek political
office.
The whole tradition of the American
Army is against high officer quitting
active duty to take political issue with his
commander in chief-especially in war
time. And the general has given no indi-
cation that he is party to any presidential
boom; in fact his only statement on the
subject was brusque mo"
But the embarrassment he may have
felt hitherto must be much more acute
when he learns that Representative Ham,
ilton Fish of New York, has hitched onto
the generals khaki coat tails.
Ham Fish has been so wrong about so
many things, in the Years preceding
Pearl Harbor, that it is the height of pre-
sumptuous arrogance for him to try to
ride to political popularity on the hon
ored career and fame of one of our first
soldiers
