The American people are well informed of the meaning of their war of its causes, the issues at stake, and the problems of the peace they toll and fight and die to To this high degree of under standing many agencies have contributed and one of the foremost of these is the Council of Books in Wartime
 The Council is made up of most of the leading book publishers of the land together with booksellers and librarians by thousands. It puts its publishing services at the disposal of the Army, the Navy and other Government departments in the vital task of clarifying and unifying American thought in this war Of ideas It has for its slogan Books Are Weapons"
 Most of us reached in some way by the under takings of the Council by it's lists of Imperative" books and by it's radio programs and it's motion pie lures based books of the hour. At the libraries it's guidance awaits all who seek knowledge of passing events The monumental War Atlas for Americans" prepared by the OWL published by Simon and Schuster last month and already edging into the best seller class is one of the Councils products.
 The forthcoming series of Battle Reports" tell ing the story of the Navy's role in the war, will be another In this project the Council is able to draw upon guarded factual material that would not now be available to any individual publisher.

Johnson, Democrat of Colorado, who quite frequently said:
 Jesse Jones is the only man who does any favors for us up here on the Hill, and when he wants favor, I'm going to reciprocate."
 All of this came to a showdown recently when Jones close friend and associate, Will Clayton, sent to the White House his resignation as Surplus Property Administrator. Clayton, also from Texas, and long time Assistant Secretary of Com merce under Jones, had been ac- cused of helping to inspire the Texas Roosevelt revolt through his cotton firm, Anderson. Clayton & Co.
 In resigning, Clayton not only said that he did not know any thing about the Texas rebellion, but went further and stated that he considered American" the idea of depriving the people of their vote through reversing their wishes in the Electoral College
 The White House, believing in Clayton's sincerity, did not accept his resignation
 The incident was embarrassing to Jones, however, because CD he did not submit his resignation, and (2) he did not denounce the Texas revolt
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-07-12
REFUSES TO DISAVOW
 REVOLT

Jones did go to the White House known nothing about the Texas matter, but the President later inn piled to friends that he didn't be- lieve him, adding that George But Ter, Jones nephew, who is Chair man of the Texas Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee and led the re- volt, was attorney for many Jones projects and worked hand in glove with his uncle
 At the time Clayton resigned, Jones had been confined to his bed with an infected kidney. However, a high-up member of the Roose- welt Administration, who lives in the same hotel with Jones, was de- tailed to go to see him. The emis- Sary comes from the South, is per- sonally fond of Jones and backed him in last July's showdown with Henry Wallace.
 He put up to Jones in substance the following proposition:
 While it is conceivable that you didn't know in advance about the Texas anti-Roosevelt revolt, now that you do know about it, will you disavow it? Will you make the same statement Will Clayton made-that it is un-American to put on the ticket electors pledged to disregard the wishes of a ma

Approval of Treaties
i(New York Times

i(New York Times
 The Democratic State Convention in North Caro- lima a few days ago adopted platform one plank of which called for an amendment to the Constitution of United States provide for ratification of treaties by majority vote of both branches of Congress instead of by two-thirds vote of the Senate alone.
 The case in favor of this change is overwhelming. It is illogical that majority of the House and Senate declare but that two-thrds of the Senate is required to effect peace The twothirds requirement puts it into the power of Senate minority to block a treaty approved by majority of the country. The present constitutional arrangement, moreover shuts the House off from participating in decision which in various ways it is later called upon to implement
 recent Gallup survey showed that 54 per cent of the voters asked were definitely in favor of approval of treaties by simple majority of both House and Senate while only 25 per cent favored continuance ~' tle present system.
 Yet SC far no move has come from within the Senate itself to permit the American people to vote on whether they wish constitutional change or not One of the latest arguments put forward in favor of a do-nothing policy is that it takes too long to amend the Constitution This argument is not an impressive one in of the historic record It took less than ten months to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment after Congress submitted the repeal to conventions Of the States which meant in effect, to popular referendum The armistce came in the First World War November H. 1918. It was not until eight full months later that President Wilson ready to sub init treaty to the Senate for approval. It was not until eight months a1ter tlaUaIld tiliS ioils ueidy was at least in part brought about by the othrds requirement. itself-that the Senate finally voted on and rejected, the Treaty of the League of Nations.
 These precedents indicate that even if, on the most optimistic possible estimates, the German war were to end tomorrow if there only single over all peace treaty and it could be negotiated within the same time period in 19l9 in spite of what will probably be much more chaotic conditions in Europe than then, it is far from too late to submit con- stitutional amendment and have it adopted in good
 time to be effective for the approval of the first post war treaties.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
THURSDAY, JULY l3

Until late in the evening benefic aspects rule today. It is prom ising date for launching new en- terprises, especially if they are to benefit war veterans.
 HEART AND HOME: Women may show the strain of war an- xieties this month; there should be opportunities for well-earned vaca- tions. This is a favorable date for working out home recreation plans. While travel is under ban, back yard picnics will afford pleasure in informal Inequalities.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Inasmuch as thousands of men and women are discharged each month from the armed forces, because of dis abilities and other imperative con- alterations, demobilization problems have confronted the business world for some time and are now in- creasing in number. Employers must plan wisely for the absorption of veterans of both sexes.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Sympathy for the Japanese interned in the United States will rise sharply among well-meaning but emotional citizens, as a result of clever fifth column work, it is forecast The stars presage successful spy activi- ties among the Nisei, who it will be remembered, gave no hint of treachery before Pearl Harbor.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS :: Dutch heroes in New Guinea who have made progress in their Com mando tactics will contribute great ly to the United Nations campaign against the enemy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of steady advancement. Those engaged in war industries should be most for tunate.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intuitive, talented and determined. They may excel in mathematics or music.

breaking loose and floating over the crowd prematurely.
 Nor have they forgotten Jesse's secret moves to be the Vice PreSi- dential nominee instead of Wallace at Chicago in 1940.
 And as he is strong with the conservative and Southern wing of the party, they are convinced that, if the coming convention is dead locked over Wallace, Jesse figures the whole Southern revolt could be compromised by putting him up as Roosevelt's running mate.
 It sounds like a long shot. But Jesse has played the long shots ever since he was an over-inveSted real-estate operator during the de- pression, desperate to become Her bert Hoover's REC director. And the long shots have pulled him through. =

 It was also believed that, with Jones ominating three radio stations and two newspapers in Houston, the county which led the revolt, he could do a lot to put it in reverse.
 However, Jones refused. He said he didn't want to neddle in the Texas political situation, He re- peated that he hadn't known any, thing about it in advance and didn't want to get mixed up in it now.
