most political spectators is Rep. Clifford R. Hope, of Kansas, ranking Republican member of the House Agriculture Committee. Hope is young, recognized as an authority on farm problems and popular in his party.
 There is some question whether Gov. Dewey could persuade Hope to take the secretaryship. The Kansan would be in line for the chairman ship of the powerful House Agricul- ture Committee if the Republicans win control of the House. As com mittee chairman, he would be in position to shape Congressional farm legislation
 Many farm leaders are willing to wage heavily that Judge Marvin Jones, a Texan now serving as War Food Administrator, would be Presi- dent Roosevelt's choice in the event he wins. As a member of Congress during the thirties, Jones helped to put most of the New Deals farm legislation through Congress.
 Another Democratic possibility is R. M. Evans, an Iowan now a mem- Der of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He formerly served as administrator of the Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration. He was an assistant o Wallace when the latter was Secre- tary of Agriculture.
 Dewey might turn to his own State for an appointee to this cab inet post. As Governor of New York, Dewey has leaned heavily for agri- cultural advice on A. E. Babcock, nationally-known agricultural leader now serving as trustee of Cornell University.
 Another New Yorker mentioned is William I. Myers, dean of agri- culture at Cornell Myers served as Governor of the Federal Farm Credit Administration under Roose- welt, but resigned after a difference of views on credit policies.

ST. CLAIR SHORES - Four

$1,000 Chestnut avenue, st. Clair

because he romped cheerfully
- but too quickly - after his

Morris father, Leo VanAssche

some barbed wire fencing at
their property, and at 9 p. m,
he started for the house. The
boy followed a few moments
later, running quickly after his
father and d a S h e d into the

The left side of his neck was

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22-Do
you speak Eve? Could you make
a public address in Geez? Do
you have a general auditory,
speaking and reading compe-
tenCe in Mahrish?
Global war demands a global
command Of languages. The Ma
tional Roster of Scientic and
Specialized Commission has the
names on file Of individuals who
do speak, read and, if necessary
could make a few we'll chosen
after-d dinner remarks in Geez,
Eve or Mahrish.
These three particular dia-
lects were picked at random
from the Rosters files. They just
happened to be among those for
which, as yet, the war has not
made demand. Others, equally
strange TO American ears have
been needed and the Roster was
able to supply the person want
ed.
The Roster never knows from
day to day when to expect
telephone call from the War or
Navy Department, the Office of
Strategic Services, the State De-
partment or some other govern
ment agency which will neces-
state hurried wire to someone
speaking or translating Hindu,
Cushitic, Friulian, Morlak or the
like.
TECHNICAL SKILLS, TOO
Frequently the order entails
more than just familiarity with
the language skill but other
qualifications of a technical ma
ture, as well. The War Depart
ment, for example, recently
asked for some one person or
several persons with technical
military backgrounds, prefer
ably scholars who could speak,

Christmas Seal Work Explained

Last year the total collected in the Christmas Seal sales in the Territory was $l4, l46.6l. Kodi- ak was not included, as the ma terial was prepared too late to arrive here.
 With the tuberculosis mortal ity rate in Alaska 10 times that of the States and about equal to that of Massachusetts in 1850, l the money has been used in a strenuous campaign against tuberculosis in the Territory. The program consists of fnd- ing incipient cases and of teach ing people to take care of them- selves under a Home Care pro- gram. The latter is necessitated by the lack of sanitarium space Tn the Territory.
 A contract with the Health Department provides for the taking of X rays, for which over $5000 was allotted last year. This money went for X-lays for medically indigent expectant mothers, for crippled children en route to the Orthoped.c hos pital in Seattle and for school children The goal for the Tub erculosis Association is to pro- vide for X-rays for all school students in the Territory
 Money is also used to pur- chase educational sound films, distribute literature and partake in rehabilitation work for Alaska patients in hospitals in the States. A sum of $3000 is set a. side for office maintenance, sal ary and expenses. (See page l1.)
