Jack Demko Finds
Weather Balloon
Released in City

Jack Demko. IL, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Demko of Nashua
community will soon be a dollar
richer. When coming to Glasgow
Wednesday he located a balloon,
parachute and radiosonde apparat-
us released from the local weather
station. They were 3 miles east of
Glasgow near Highway 2 and were
quickly spotted by Jack because Of
the red parachute.
Jack turned his find over to r.
D. Church, principal observer in
charge of the station here, who
filed a claim for him. Any finder
is eligible for the reward by mailing
the balloon and parachute back to
the local station and the radio
Sonde to Washington.
Mr.. Church said it was unusual
to locate the apparatus at such a
short distance from its release point
and the find indicated that air
movements Tuesday night when it
was released were extremely stag
nant. One other balloon and para
chute so far have been turned in at
the local station. They were found
near Wolf Point after drifting
about so miles.

old subject, to-wit: That the man

. Stay Home

Unless martial law has been established,
when the state says automobiles must
not be driven at night without proper
lights, and the army orders a blackout,
the state law governs. This was the ruling
of Superior Judge Ernest M. Card in
granting non-suit to the defendant in
damage case growing out of an automobile
collision bewteen two cars driven without
lights during blackout. The ruling
means in substance, that in blackout the
safest place is home. If you drive with
lights, the army will get you. If you don't
have lights the traffic cops will crack
down.
Judge Cards decision is based on the
general rule of law that in the absence of
martial law, the state law is in effect. This
is the first decision of the kind in the
state. In all probability the case will go
to the supreme court. In the meantime
don't drive in blackout.

A fighting French officer reminds us
not to forget the 30,000,000 anti-Nazi
French men and women in France. The
$4,000 active De Gaulists now fighting
against Hitler outside France get lot of
attention, but their part is infinitely less
hard than that of the stay-at-homes who
even passively are resisting.
1t is hard to imagine the courage re-
quired in occupied France for the slightest
gesture of opposition to the Germans
for hungry children to refuse chocolate be-
cause they hate the givers; for the dairy
man who kidded Germans into walking
miles to his place day after day, for butter
that he never would have for them; for
diners who walk out of restaurants at the
earliest legal moment after Nazis enter.

Il seems that The Times is not alone in
associating Tacoma's Mayor Harry p. Cain,
Democrat, and Eric A. Johnston, of Spo-
kane. Republican. as possible candidates
against United States Senator Homer T.
Bone in 1914. The same thought has occur
red TO the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
A few days ago, under the caption Gain,
Johnston in Senate Halo" the Spokane
paper had the following editorial comment:
when Mayor Harry P. Cain Of Tacoma
speaks today noon at the weekly luncheon
of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
political observers will appraise him as a
possible candidate for the United States
Senate on the Democrat ticket against
Senator Homer T. Bone in 1914.
by coincidence, Tacoma citizens were
looking over Eric A. Johnston of Spokane
with the same thought in mind-that the
Spokane leader and president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce might seek
the Republican senatorial nomination at
the next election. Johnston was the speak
er at the annual meeting of the Tacoma
Chamber of Commerce last night.
That the two men may be contenders
for the toga on opposite tickets is current
political gossip on both sides of the state.
Johnston's attempt to bring industry and
labor together, and his vision of bounti-
full tomorrow for the world has projected
his name into all political discussions.
AT the same time Mayor Cain has at
tracted favorable comment because of his
bold predictions of great future for the
Pacific Northwest. Both men are match
less public speakers"
1t is hard to imagine anything more
interesting and colorful than a campaign
in which two of the states most brilliant
young men would be contesting with the
seasoned campaigner Homer Bone, for the
senatorial toga. Any one of the trio could
Danish the dullness that has characterized
most of the campaigns lately. The three
of them could put on a show that would be
well worth the customers time.

. Our Opinion So

The vote-Rayburn, 217. and Martin,
206-was the closest speakership vote
since the Democrats obtained control of
the House in 1881. The vote emphasizes
what has been predicted since the Novem-
Der election. The Republicans, with new
acquisitions and the support that will
come from Democrats at outs with the
administration, are nearer control than
they ever have been since John y. Garner,
former vice president, became speaker in
1881. Gamers election as presiding
officer was the first of several upsets that
ushered in ten years of New Deal control
and brought about situation which re-
suited in the precedent breaking incident
of electing President Roosevelt for third
term.
What will appeal to every American
citizen regardless of party preference was
the assurance that winning the war is to
be the first objective of the new congress.
THE last session." said Rep. Martin
after he had escorted his successful OPP
ponent to the speakers stand, was known
as war congress- This will be the
victory congress- Victory is our common
goal. AS leader of the opposition | pledge
us toward that end. There will be no di-
vision as far as winning the war is con-
cerned."
Speaker Rayburn joined with Rep.
Martin in the pledge to make winning the
war the paramount issue this session.
The two leaders of the Democratic and
Republican groups have made the record
and set the goal. The people who are pay
ing the heaviest war bills in the worlds
history and the men in the American
armed forces will expect them to keep the
record straight. There is no inclination
for the politics that sometimes cropped
out in the last session. This war business
is too serious.
