Postmaster General Walker, DEM
ocratic National Committee chair
man. win leave tonight on tour
of = dozen Midwestern and Far
Western States during which aides
said he would transact postal busi-
ness and talk to State party leaders
on ways to strengthen the Demo-
cratic organization.
His schedule calls for stops In
Chicago, Milwaukee. st. Paul. Bis
marck, N. OAK: Helena and Butte,
Mont; Spokane and Seattle, wash:
Portland, Greg; San Francisco, Los
Angeles and San Diego. Calf; !;
Phoenix, Ariz.; Albuquerque, N.
Mex: Denver and Omaha.
The dates of his visits to those
cities were not announced.
This trip was planned three
months ago." one Of Mr.. Walkers
postal assistants said, declaring that
1t had no connection whatever with
recent fourth-term talk.
Mr.. Walker told reporters earlier
last week that it was much too early
to think about 1914 candidates.
Moreover, he said, it is the national
convention delegates and not the
party chairman or the National
committee who select the candidates.
The Democratic chairman's posi-
ton that political talk now Is pre-
mature was echoed yesterday by
Democratic and Republican Sena-
tors in commenting on the Senate
speech Friday Of Senator Guffey,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, who de-
clared that no tradition bars q
fourth term for President Roosevelt
If the people want to retain him in
the White House.
Senator Brooks, Republican. OF
Illinois, commented that Guf1ey's
remarks were further evidence that
some Democrats were trying to in
ject politics into the war effort and
blaming the other fellow for doing
it," while Senator Lucas, Democrat,
Of Illinois remarked that he was
more interested now tn alleviating
disturbances and dissensions on the
home front"
Senator Tunnel, Democrat, of Del
eware said this was not the time to
say whether the President should
seek another term. Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio said he believed
Mr.. Roosevelt would be q candidate
for reelection II the war was still
on next summer and that ii he Is,
the Republican nominee would win
after q "close and hard fight."

poured in temperatures below 20 de-
grees.
The jobs biggest headache was
the drainage problem. Every time
the steam shovels bit into the earth
they hit mud. And this condition
was aggravated by the heavy fall
and winter rains.
On one day workers had to
cut through four inches of ice to
lay drainage pipes. A gravel blanket
had to be placed under all of the
Is miles Of reinforced concrete pipes
installed to carry of the water.
Another problem was absenteeism.
When work had to be halted be-
cause Of .sub-freezing temperature,
hundreds of workers would fail to
show up when work was resumed,
causing further delays.
At one time, Maj. Nottingham
said, 1000 Of the 5000 workers on
the project failed to report when
snow fell during the morning.
The safety record was termed by
Maj. Nottingham as quite good"
There have been only three IA
talities.
In addition to building roads in
the airfield, workers also are re-
locating highways in the area.

The War Shipping Administra- tion is taking special measures to keep the American merchant fleet sailing to the fighting fronts dur ing the Christmas and New Year period, to guard against a recur- renee of the situation of a year ago when seven American and ten AL lied ships were delayed at U. s. ports within a fortnight due to crew shortages, it was revealed today.
 Marshall E. Dimock, national di- rector of the Recruitment and Man ming Organization, VISA told of these plans at the Atlantic Coast Regional office, 37 Broadway, New York.
 Paralleling these measures new War ManpoWer Commission in struction will give concrete assist ance to the maritime industry in meeting the extremely critical needs that have arisen. The in- struction further facilitates the re- lease to RMO of men from other industries with previous expert ence as chief, second or third mate, first, second or third assis ont en- gineer or able seaman. A. w. Mot ley, Acting Director of the War ManpoWer Commission national headquarters bureau of placement, issued the instruction at the re- quest of MT. Dimock.
 Among the steps being taken at New York and all other principal ports on the Atlantic Coast, so that the ships will have adequate quail flied crews for the uninterrupted manning of our supply lines to the troops abroad, are the following:
 l. The U. s. Maritime Services Upgrading School for officers, 39 Broadway, New York, has been asked to release deck or engine de- partment officers from their up- grading courses for one round trip, when the men volunteer to inter rupt their studies in recognition of the present need;
 9 Steamship companies have been urged to request training schools, where any of their own of ficer employees have been enrolled, to release them without loss of credits or tuition pending their re- turn from the voyage;
 3. Requests will be made of Unit ed Nations consulates that they re- lease to RMO Recruitment and Manning Organization) for one trip any officers belonging to their countries merchant fleets who are temporarily detached and ashore here and can be spared.
 4. Personnel directors at the lead- ing shipyards in the New York area have agreed to release men who are qualified as mates or licensed en- gipeers who wish to return to sea in this critical period so as to be working in the war effort at their highest capacity. Interviews are be- ing held by RMO representatives with personnel directors and the foremen of the machine shops, yards and rigger gangs looking toward as ..-sny releases as possible without disruption of shipyards schedules;
 5. Shipping companies are being asked to make available to the Re- cruitment and Manning Organiza- tion, VISA, lists of qualified licensed officers who formerly worked aboard their vessels but are now known to be working ashore or are temporarily inactive. Individual ap-

peals will be sent to these men.
 6. Men who are registered on the rotary shipping lists of the mari time unions, vessel operators and RMO are being urged to maintain their availability status on these lists and accept assignments as they come, Admiral Emory s. Land, War Shipping Administrator, has includ- ed a similar appeal in his Christ mas message.
 "In this period of the war when invasions of NaI Germany from the West, South and East have been promised, the merchant seamen will not and must not fail their comrades in the armed services" Craig s. Vim cent, Atlantic Coast Representatives of RMO, said. "The merchant mar inc will work and fight side by side with the Navy and Army to carry through the decisions of Teheran, Cairo and Moscow. November mer- chant ship construction amounting to 100000 deadweight tons means that President Roosevelt's directive for the full year has been exceeded by million tons with December production still to be counted. Deliv- cries at this rate, coupled with the reduction in losses by torpedoing, mean that more vessels must be manned and moved out of our ports to the war zones. To keep 'em sail ing, several thousand seamen this year will be cancelling their plans for holiday celebrations or will hold them at some other time"
 MT. Vincent has directed that steps already taken at the Port oi New York be duplicated by RING port representatives at Boston, Phil adelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk Charleston and Savannah.
 War Manpower Commission of- fices are directed by the new instrpc- ton to call the attention of all local U. s. Employment Service offices to '"The critical needs of the Recruit ment and Manning Organization with the request that they extend all possible cooperation to this or ganization in an effort to secure the needed officers. Although the total number of men employed on mer- chant vessels is small compared with the total manpower needs of the country" the WING instruction con- tinues, "the fact that such service is so closely allied to duty in the armed forces makes it incumbent on the Employment Service offices to make particular efforts to refer experienced seamen who are moi using this skill for assignment tc ocean-g going vessels"
 Orders for the specified licensed officers in able seamen are being placed with all local U. s. E. S. of- fices in the areas covered by RING port offices. RMO will furnish trans portation to the port for all who vol unteer and are qualified to sail.
