False Hopes of Early End

s WASHINGTON, May 9. - War Secretary Henry L. Stimson told Congress today we are approaching a crisis in the war effort but ad- monised against expectations of a short war saying:
 Tt seems to me essential that we should avoid doing anything at this time which would either create false hopes about the early termin- ation of the war or which would in any way tend to disturb the morale of the soldier in the field or his family at home"
 Stimson appeared before the House Banking Committee to sup port legislation to extend the price control program year beyond the June 30 expiration and recommend ed that controls be enforced not only in wartime but during the con- version period as well.

Florida and Alabama Are Choosing Nominees
 New Deal Under Test
tBy Associated Press)

The Roosevelt administration un- derwent a test by proxy in the Florida and Alabama Democratic Senatorial primaries today with plenty of personalities involved. Claude Pepper, Florida Democrat, carried the New Deal banner in the five-way contest, while his chief op- ponent, County Judge Ollie Ed munds of Jacksonville. hammered away at the admlnistration's domes- tic policies.
 In Alabama, Senator Hill, Dem ocratic whip and strong supporter of President Roosevelt, fought out the challenge of James Simpson, Birmingham attorney.
 In Maryland yesterday the sup port-the- President plea apparently had little effect as Senator Tydings won the renomination five to one over Willis Jones of Baltimore, his principal Democrat opponent in the fiye-way race.

The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Ut Col Robert S. Allen now on activ service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-Trouble is seeth- ing inside the War Labor Board again and this time it has nothing to do with John L. Lewis. On the contrary, it is the employer mem- bers and their backstage friends, the National Association of Manu- lecturers and the U. s. Chamber of Commerce, who are causing the ferment
 For long time, a frank, friend ly and cooperative attitude existed between the three wings of the War Labor Board, representing industry, the public and labor. Roger Lap ham, head of the American-Hawai- ian Steamship Company, and George Mead, head of The Mead Corporation, paper company of Dayton, Ohio, were especially CO., operative. But now, Lapham has left to be Mayor of San Francisco, while Mead has been virtually shunted off the board as result of wire pulling from the U. S.. Chamber and the National Manu- lecturers Association.
 These two organizations have de- cided to dominate the industry members on the War Labor Board. Fred Crawford, former president of the Manufacturers A ss Ocia ti o n, whose Thompson Products Inc, of Cleveland has a reactionary labor record, has now organized joint committee of the NAM and U. s. Chamber.
 This committee is for the purpose of virtually instructing. WLB indus try members now to vote. In other words. industry members no longer are to decide an issue as they see it, but as the joint committee of the U s. Chamber and the Manu- lecturers Association sees 1t.
 In addition, the joint committee has appointed William Frew Long as executive assistant to WLB in- dustry members. The industry mem- bers have right to keep an exc cutite assistant on the payroll at Govefnment expense, but the sig sliificant thing about Long is that he has labor batting record which takes up almost volume in the LaFollette report.
 According to the LaFollette in- vestigation, Long was one of the chief hatchet men for anti-labor industries in Ohio. So the Govern ment has now refused to put Long on the payroll. Thus, he is serving VILE industry members without taking the oath of office and, in a strict sense, illegally.

LONDON, May 2.--A broadcast.

Dewey Bandwagon Is Rolling On; Nebraska
 Gave First Big Push
BY JACk STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May g. That "Oh my, Oh my you heard from capital politicos was for the write in-vote that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey rolled up in Nebraska for the COP presidential nomination.
 The Dewey bandwagon is roll ing as no prospective Republican nominees has since 1924, when Pres ident Calvin Coolidge walked away from all opponents.
 If you think that's a broad con- clusion to draw from the Nebraska primary, where Dewey ran second, observers here will give you an aw- ful argument.
 In the first place, it's the excep- ton, not the rule, for candidate to get anywhere on "write-in" vote. Dewey's name wasn't on the ballot. Lieut.. Comdr. Harold E. Stas- sens was. The only other name was Wendell L. Willkies and he had withdrawn.
 Men have been nominated and even elected to office on "write-in" votes, but not often. The reasons are simple. Ii voters candidate isn't on the ticket, the voter thinks Whats the use?" And stays away from the polls. If he does go, he frequently doesn't know how to write in his candidate, or even that he has the privilege of doing so.
 The fact that Dewey, who was just a ghost so far as the Nebras- ka ballot was concerned, piled up almost half as many votes as the popular, young former governor of Minnesota, who, according to the ballot, was virtually unopposed, was enough to make the politicos gasp.
 Following Dewey's overwhelming victory in the Wisconsin primaries. and the announcement that 92 of New York's 93 Republican delegates would be for him at the outset, Dewey's preconvention stock is soar ing.

Labor Asks
Extra Session

Eighteen CLIO leaders from
Allegany County joined with IS
others from different parts of
the state to urge Gov. O'Conor
to call a special session of the
legislature and repeal the Decla-
ration of Intentions Act, at least
for the duration of the war;
but the Governor remained deaf
to their plea and to a similar
one from the Western Md. Labor
Unity Conference.
Charles NJ. See, member of the
House of Delegates from Allegany
County and leader of the delega-
ton at the last session, was con-
tacted by a representative OF the
Western Maryland Labor Unity
Conference and readily agreed 70
urge the governor to cali a special
session. However, he indicated
that the responsibility rested on
the governor, and that the latter
had no valid excuse for passing the
buck to the legislators.
The letter which See sent the
governor was as follows:
Jan. "a, 1914.
Dear Governor O'COnor:
There Is feeling prevalent
here that u special session of the
General Assembly should be called
to simplify soldier-v0te legislation
and to repeal the Declaration Of
Intentions Act. I therefore sug-
gest that the Legislature be called
