TULY 18-(From Chicago) "This year there is a
= new mob in town. The outfit is the Political
Action Committee of the Go, to which is attached
a second operating concern, the National Citizens
Political Action Committee.
The object of the combination is to take over
the Democratic party. The process involves dOmi-
mating Democratic nominations for dog catcher,
mayor, councilman, state representative governor,
and for seats in the two houses of Congress.
1.-THE organizers and officers of this new
power in politics include: Sidney Hilman, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America; Van A. Bittner, assistant president of
the United Steel Workers; r. J. Thomas, president
of the United Auto Workers; Sherman Dalrymple,
president of the United Rubber Workers.; Albert

COLUMBUS DAY
BY HARRY III. SCHLACHT

TODAY is Columbus Day.
Four hundred and ffty.two years ago, the stout
heart of an Italian salor-Christopher Coumbus-with
high determination and great faith plowed the UNI
furrowed waves and claimed for God and mankind new
world.
1t is but a heartbeat in the march of time
he has brought to humanity treasure house Of
God-given gifts
4 GREAT miracle occurred upon the earth
"A A continent discovered
1t was called America. 1t named after an Italian.
1t was Gods country.

Columbus and his people.

Drawn and bravery.
They have been the defenders the faith justice and

THE blood of her mayred has flowed down the slopes

Italy has given America her theme of freedom
In her paintings in her letters and in the great
expressions of her beings her

THE spirit of liberty the passion for democracy love Of
beauty and music and all the fine impulses of the human

Italy has given to exploration Columbus to sculpture

AIR ENOUGH
BY Westbrook Pegler-

A T THE end of Harold Ickes'
speech at the dinner of the
Hollywood Communists and
their fellow-travelers, Gene
Fowler, who had heard the ora
ton by radio, turned to w. c.
Fields and remarked: IF this
fellow keeps on talking. Dewey
is going to lick Roosevelt with
the jawbone of an ass"
Mr.. Ickes had made merry
over the fact that Lionel Barry
more. who had been i'll for a
long time, greeted Tom Dewey
from a wheel-chair. When
Dewey arrived in Los Angeles
on his recent tour, and, on the
evening of Dewey'S political
meeting, Barrymore did not
even send the empty wheel
chair to represent him.
This remark was in contrast
to that compact civilized de-
cency which, throughout Ickes'
long term on the public pay
roll in Washington, had for
hidden reference to the in
firmities of a stricken man.
TCKES, however, who tainted
Il Lionel Barrymore because he
is crippled with arthritis, might
respect no such restraints.
This leering was authentic
Ickes humor, and consistent
with the spirit of a man who
got rich by a method which he
forebore to explain in an other
wise detailed and boastful story
of his life.
The element TO which Ickes
was speaking was not. as one
might suppose, altogether Gym
ical and vile.
The Communists, of course,
predominant and outvoice the
men and women, actors, writer's
and others, of the luxurious
class, who are Democrats or
even New Dealers for honest
motives and convictions.
There are many among this
group who know the color of
the politics and liver of Charlie
Chaplin. the one Red, the other
white. and distinguish between
political license and demagogic
bestiality.
And so, that night, the horrid
taunt to a distinguished and
respected colleague. delivered in
a ribald appeal 10 political pas
sion, was followed by sharp
drop in temperature.
1t was as though Fowler,
speaking TO Bill Fields, many
miles away, had conveyed to
the decent Democrats of Holly
wood his inspired thought that
If this fellow talked much more.
Dewey would lick Roosevelt
with the jawbone of an ass.
60 STRONG is the instinct OF
~ decency in our standard
American journalism that, IN
most of the published accounts
OF Ickes' speech. a dignity and
kindness of which he was, him
self. so brutally ignorant, pro-
tected him.
This sneering reference to A
sick mans misfortune was de-
leted in the standard press,
although it probably will be ex-
plotted in the leftish publica-
tons which now, in a sort of
English. emulate the nasty little
ephemerae which cluttered the
news-stands of Paris, Madrid
and Barcelona.
These two incidents. The
Dewey rally with 10000 Ameri-
cans present in Los Angeles,
where the Communists have
wrought so zealously for 20
years, and the antics Of the

Cov. BRICKER of Ohio was
~ credited by all observers with
conducting the most constructive and
comprehensive preconvention cam
paign of all the avowed aspirants for
presidential nominations in both
major parties.
AS the vice presidential nominee
of the Republican party, he is con-
tinuing to conduct constructive
and comprehensive campaign.
All of his speeches have been
accurate and well documented, force
full and fair.
His speech in St. Louis was out
standing in that respect.
Gov. Bricker took occasion in this
timely and important speech to ana
lyze the strange and humiliating
position of the Democratic party in
this campaign.
LIE MADE note of the fact that
IA after President Roosevelt had
made his venom packed speech be-
fore the teamsters union in Wash
ington, and Gov. Dewey had an
swered it in Oklahoma City with a
devastating point-by point recitation
of the New Deal record, there was
an almost complete lack of counter
reply by any supporters of the Presi-
dent recognizable by the American
people AS DEMOCRATS
There was, to be sure, as Gov.
Bricker observed, an abundance of
counter-reply by supporters of the
President having no official affilia-
ton with the Democratic party and
no RESPONSIBILITY TO the
Democratic party.
There was angry reply, for in
stance, by Sidney Hillman-but Mr..
Hillman is head of the Political Ac-
ton Committee of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations, and has no
connection with or authority from
the Democratic party.
There was also vicious reply from
Earl Browder-but Mr.. Browder is
head of the Communist Political AS
ISOLATION, and is not only without
authority to speak for the Demo
cratic party but is cordially disliked
and distrusted by the leaders and the
rank and file membership of the
Democratic party.
What a strange situation it is,
when only the unauthorized and un-
wanted and COMMUNISTIC supp
porters of the President speak UP
for him, and the leaders of the party
supposedly RESPONSIBLE FOR
HIM remain silent.

Cov. BRICKER gave the Elk
" PLANTATION for that situation

HOV. 6hlChGh gave Cne EA-
" PLANTATION for that situation
in his st. Louis speech.
"For many years." he said, "the
Roosevelt administration tUas able to
WHIP the Democratic party into
line.
at finally DESTROYED the
Democratic party =.
"The real leaders of the Demo
cratic party haUe come to realize
that the Republican party is truly the
LIBERAL party'of America.
at is the party of THE CON-
STITUTION."
The result of this, said Gov.
Bricker, is that:
"As the New Deal took oUer the
Democratic party, so noW the Com
n,unists and the radicals have
TAKEN OVER THE NEW DEAL"
That is why it is Sidney Hillman,
and not the real and competent and
respected leaders of the Democratic
party, who SPEAKS for the New
Deal.
1t is why Earl Browder, fresh out
of federal prison by benefit of
presidential pardon, speaks for it.
HILLMAN and Browder are not
IA merely the loudest spokesman
for the New Deal, but almost the
ONLY spokesman for it.
"Their stooges haUe been placed
in important departments of the fed
eral government to spy and report"
said Gov. Bricker.
"They are seeking to tie the moose
of communism not only around the
NeD Deal but AROUND THE
WHOLE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
"H there eUer was any doubt that
the Hiiiman BrotOder group has
taken oUer the New Deal and is
trying to a X T. OVEK HE

noon to one of the finest SER ons

had heard a sermon for years.
The chaplain told of several OF

nations Fourth Waf hoan. bond
drive has been set at 5000, 900, &C
cording to a report made this noon
by local chairman A. c. 0Amoif
mayor. Mr.. Anon has not been
informed as to Kennewick's quota,
but pointed out that the county
quota had been nearly doubled and
that Kennewick's amount would
probably take the same jump.
The drive will open Tuesday Of
next week and will continue until
the middle Of February. A great
deal of intensive effort will prob
ably be required to put the city
and county over the top in this
drive, owing to the enthusiasm ex-
hibited in the Third drive. How
ever, the Mayor is anxious to have
this effort turn out. successfully
and is even buying advertising
space in this issue to put over a
message prepared by the United
States Treasury Department about
It.
County chairman for the drive
will again be Mr.. Howard of
Benton City, and subchairmen are
named from each end Of the coun-
ty. Reno Odlin has been named
state chairman with total quota
of $183, 000, 900 in bond sales. The
drive will be dedicated to service
men and women from the state
of Washington. This stirring
theme was announced at two
day meeting the first Of this week.
Individual communities, indus
trial plants and organizations will
work to over-subscribe quotas in
honor of their own fighting heroes.
Fighting men will be notified of
the progress of the drive in many
instances.
The Fourth War Loan Drive
begins Tuesday of next week. It
will close on Feb. Is. A hundred

Housewives will be able to buy
about the same amount of rationed
processed foods and meats and
fats as they are now buying when
the new ration token plan goes
into effect Feb. q, according to
Carl Williams, chairman of the 10
cal War Price and Rationing
Board.
Mr.. Williams said that point val
ues will be adjusted slightly at the
time tokens 60 into use in order
to keep buying power on an even
keel.
"Under the token plan," he stat
ed, $50 points e stamps) will be-
come valid at the ebegnining of
each two-week period for the pur-
chase of meats and fats.
"For processed foods" he added,
$50 points will become valid the
first of each month under the
token PLAN"
The local War Price and Ration
ing Board chairman explained that
the red and blue tokens, about
the size Of a dime, will be given in
change by merchants when house.
wives spend their stamps at the
beginning of each period.
Mr.. Williams also announced
that starting Jan. IS, the OPA will
make checks of gasoline coupons
at banks where sheets Of the cou-
pons, bearing the filling stations
name, are deposited by oil dis
tributors. ......
He said that this inspection will
be part of the OPA's intensified
drive against black market gaso-
line operations. Gallonage repre-
sented by the unendorsed coupons
will be ordered deducted from
the ration account of the deposit
ing distributor, who, in turn, will
be forced to call upon the offend
ing filling station operator for val
id stamps to replace the unen-
dorsed ones.
The consequence of this pro-
cedure, MIR. Williams said, is that
service station operators who con-
tinue to accept unendorsed cou-
pons, will find themselves grad
ually going out Of business for
lack of supplies.
MIR. Williams further called at
tention to the fact that MARINA
ladies' made from citrus fruits are
point free. He said that some re-
tailers had confused the. jam and
jelly regulation and were still
collecting points for citrus mar
