JESSE JONES-LOBBYIST

The Honorable Jesse Jones doesn't
confine his political activities to
Congress. He is equally adept with
the Army, except that the Army
won't take Jesse's lobbying lying
down
Some time ago. the Secretary of
Commerce persuaded the Provost
Marshal's office to accept friend,
Captain Melbourne NJ Martin, for
the school at Ann Arbor, Mich,
which trains officers for governing
occupied territories Martins father
had, been supporter of Jesse's in
the southwest.
However, when Captain Martin
got to Ann Arbor, he was so openly
boaStful of Jesse Jones influence
in his behalf, giving the impression
that politics ran the Army as far
as he was concerned, that the Army
transferred him out of Ann Arbor
to Mississippi
Whereupon Jesse, highly indig-
nant, bawled out the Provost Mar
shals office.

This is an unimportant day in
planetary government but adverse
aspects are active. Neptune is in

HEART AND HOME: There is
sign indicating new ration re-
strictions. Gasoline will become ex-
ceedingly scarce before Summer.
The seers foresee real sacrifices in
the future which will bring war
home to all
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Residents
of war boom cities should now
make plans to retain their gains
in peace time. Foresight will avert
danger of industrial collapse. New
Inventions offer great opportunities.
NATIONAL ISSUES: American
cities come under aspects that en-
courage thorough cleaning of slums
and vice centers. The nation that
hopes to teach the world how to
apply democratic ideals should
first be sure that it practices what
it breaches
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
Political confusion will spread in
Germany as we'll as in occupied
countries but Nazi power will pre-
vent any successful uprisings until
late in the Summer The stars
warn that complete defeat is neces-
sary before Hitler can be over
thrown.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury Of difficult year. 1t
is well to guard against accidents,
thefts and quarrels.
Children born on this day will
probably be clever but too sensitive
for their own best interests. They
should be talented, energetic and
lucky.

enged Martin Dies abuse of Congressional power"
Thus Sidney Hillman Chairman of the CLIO Political
Action Committee. forthrightly responded to the at
tack launched upon his organization by the Dies
Committee. Although he has thrown the books and
records of his organization open to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and stands ready at any time
to make them available to a properly authorized
Congressional investigatory group. Mr. Hilman says
fatty that he will not submit to demands for in
formation from Mr.. Dies We believe that he will
find full support in courts of justice and in the
sense Of fair play of the American people.
The Dies Committee was empowered by Congress
to investigate American activities There is nothing
un-American about the voluntary association of
workers for the advancement of their political in
terests. On the contrary such course is eminently
in the American pattern 1t represents nothing more
sbversive than the exercise of elementary right of
citizenship. III calling it into question, the Dies

Mr. Dies may turn to the House of Repre-

embarked The occasion should afford a fitting
opportunity for review of the manner in which he
has discharged his responsibilities Time and again
he has gone far outside the scope of the authority
conferred on him Time and again he has abused
the prestige of Congress and the high purposes of
the investigatory process. To paraphrase Mr.. Hill

yer of Cleveland called on Hull and
asked for his views. Hull read the
proposed resolution with painstak-
ing care. then cagily replied
II cannot tell you that favor 1t,
because the State Department can
take no position in these matters.
So, finally, Senator Taft asked
his brother Charles, who works IN
the state Department, to ascertain
Hulls views. Charlie Taft took the
matter up in a State Department
meeting and got word that the De-
partment had no objection to the
resolution, whereupon Senator Taft
went ahead.
But subsequently, Assistant Sec
rotary of War McCloy let the cat
out of the bag to Rabbi Silver that
the War Department was supposed
to carry the ball for the State De-
partment because Hull did not want
to take a public stand against the
resolution.
All of which has made almost
everybody mad While Jewish lead
ers are by no means unanimous re-
garding Palestine, they are unani-
nous in not liking Government
run-arounds. And the current
State Department run-around has
got under the skin of both Jewish
and Congressional leaders.
In Congress, there is a strong
feeling that, inasmuch as the bars
against Jewish refugees have been
let down in this and many other
countries, homeless Jews should not
especially in view of the money
they have poured into it for irriga-
ton and reclamation projects. These
projects probably have made it pos
sible for Palestine to support around
100000 people, yet there are only
$4,000 Jews in Palestine today
Furthermore, the Jewish Refugee
Committee, OF which Hull is chair
man, has recommended that, be-
cause of difficult transportation
Jews in Europe be sent to Mediter-
ranean areas rather than across the
Atlantic.
All this has aroused a strong
feeling in Congress that the orig
inal Woodrow Wilson Arthur Bal
four declaration favoring Palestine
as a national home for the Jews
must be kept alive at least to the
point of leaving Palestine open to
Jewish immigration, despite the
current British declaration to the
contrary.
NOTE-Lone Wolf Senator Lam
ger of North Dakota intends to ask
some pungent questions of the Ad-
ministration regarding the whole
garbled run-around on the Jewish
migration question.

Midway consists of two little
f1yspecks of land, surrounded by
fringing reef. There are thousands
of men on these barren islets. THE
two great diversions the men
have" said the Chief of Staff.
"are the movies and gooneys. And
l think the gooneys rate first.
The men get very proprietary
about the young ones being raised
next to their own buildings. The
gooneys particularly like the
grounds around the building where
we house personnel who've just
come back from especially arduous
duty. During the two weeks the
boys spend here recuperatlng, the
gooneys take their minds off the
war completely"

Posed with Admiral

WHEN Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz, Commander-ln-Chief of
the Pacific Fleet, visited Midway,
there was a particularly tractable
young gooney around named
Oscar. The boys decked him out
in high hat (made from an in
verted ice-cream container). Sc
cured by red ribbon. Oscar oblig
ingly posed for pictures with the
Admiral.
The gooneys are so heavy and
ungainly that they have difficulty
taking off Like airplanes, they
have to head into the wind. Every
now and then one of them gets
caught headed downwind in front
of jeep. The boys have great fun
watching it scramble along until
it has the sense to turn off.
It's IA cOurt-martial offense
to harm bird, and there have
been no recent trials. The men
would probably take the law
into their own hands if they
found any one Of their number
harming a gooney.
The only attraction on Midway
which rivals the gooneys is the
mural in the bar of the naval Off
GERS club, showing the Love
Life of a Gooney." 1t covers three
walls, and begins with hearts,
and-fowers episode. Then it shows
the courtship dance; the egg; the
chick trying to fly and coming a
cropper. At last he makes it, and
is shown proudly wearing a pair
of aviator's wings. The artist was
G.. l.. Levin.
The fame of the gooney bird
and of this mural has spread all
over the Pacific. It's too bad the
Board of Awards is so busy.

should be issued to the gooney
birds of Midway Island for their
outstanding contribution to the
morale of our armed forces sta
toned there.
If the Board of Awards should
feel that there's something undig-
nifed about honoring the gooney,
it could issue the citation in the
name of the black-footed alba
tross, or it might even use the
scientific name, diomeded ntgripes.
Old sea captains called them
"gonies." Gooneys aren't very
bright, and they wouldn't care
what name the Board used.
You'd think the men of Mid
way would want to show visitors
the scars left by the Japanese
attack of June A, 1912. And you'd
think they'd want to talk about
their victory on that date, the
turning point of the Pacific war.
But all they care about showing
you is the gooney colony.
Knee-Deep in Feathers
If YOU go to Midway by ship, as
l did, you will see gooneys from
the day you leave San Francisco.
For they wander all over the North
Pacific, gliding easily on their
seven-foot wings and resting nom
chalantly on the surface for a
snooze when they're thousand
or more miles from land.
Ashore at Midway you find
yourself knee-deep in gooneys.
They raise their families on the
strips of shell-strewn sand be-
tween the roads and the build
ings. 1t was midsummer when l
was there, and the chicks were
about the size of turkey gobblers.
They were dirty brown color and
had long, savage-looking. hooked
bills.
