atorial nomination. The CIO, par
ticularly in st. Louis, went to town
for Mr.. McKitterick, and it was in
st. Louis that Senator Clark really
lost the nomination, where he had
in the past been strong. Mr.. Nc
Kitterick campaigned as an out
and-out New Dealer and supporter
of the President, which Senator
Clark has never been.
The bitterness engendered in this
primary fight is still smoldering.
Clark Admits Dislike.
Senator Clark did not help mat
ters when he presided at the Demo-
cratic platform convention in Sep
tember and, in introducing Mr.. Nc
Kitterick to the convention, said:
Il don't like bone in his head.
and he doesn't like bone in mine !"
He added that because they were
both Democrats, he would support
Mr.. McKitterick.
In this senatorial race, Gov. For
rest c. Donnell, Republican-who
was elected by $500 votes in 1910
while Mr.. Roosevelt was carrying
the State-is given distinct edge
over Mr.. McKitterick. If he wins
as now expected, it will mean loss
of a Democratic seat in the Sem
ate to the Republicans. The Gov
ernor is good campaigner, and he
is taking every advantage of that
fact.
The Democrats point out that
when Gov. Donnell won he was OPP
posed by comparatively weak can
didate who had the machine boss
stamp on him. Nevertheless, it will

Mental Health Group
Reports Handling
1,A2 Cases in Year

The Commission on Mental Health
reported yesterday to the Commits
sioners that 1,492 new cases had
been referred to it by the courts
during the fiscal year 1914 COM
pared to 1851 in the previous year.
OF the total cases filed, 913 per-
sons-the same number as the year
before-were found Of unsound mind
and committed to st. Elizabeth's s
Hospital. Fffty-one of unsound mind
were sent to the Veterans Bureau
and Is were sent to relatives.
An additional nine persons were
found by a jury to be mentally un-
sound, and one was found by q, jury
to be of sound mind. The Commits
sion found 1874 of sound mind and
Gallinger Hospital doctors declared
80 of sound mind. OF those found
sane in 1943, las were by the Com
mission and 80 by Gallinger doctors.
The commission discharged 228
persons without adjudication, most
of them being discharged to friends
and relatives. Thirty-six persons
died, either at Gallinger or st. Eliz-
abeth's, pending hearings.
The deportation unit Of the Board
of Public Welfare reported to the
commission that 242 persons were
returned to their homes or hospitals
in their State of residence at the
expense of the District, compared
to 100 sent home similarly in I943.
An additional 126 persons were sent
to their home States without ex-
pense to the District, SO more than
in the preceding year.
According to the collector of taxes,
$3l4 900 was collected during the
year from estates of respondents in
sanity cases or their relatives, for
treatment, which was approximately
$4,000 more than in 1943.
while this is an increase over
the previous year, it is not in the
proportion and has been
attributed to insufficient personnel
to send bills and make a timely
check" Thomas Gillespie Walsh,
commission chairman, reported.

Low Interest Effects
Big Saving on Debt,
Morgenthau Declares
By the Associated Press.

0y tne ASSOCIATED Press.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. i4.-Treas-
ury Secretary Henry Morgenthau
said today that the vast wartime in
crease in the public debt has been
accomplished at an average inter-
est rate Of only 1& per cent, COM
pared with Az per cent in the
World War.
THE resulting interest saving ap-
proximates $4,000, 100000 a year" he
said in an address at War Bond
rally.
He added that interest on all Sc
curities sold during this war has
been fully taxable, while issues
marketed during the World War
were all wholly or partially exempt.
This has resulted in further net
saving to the Treasury amounting to
several hundred million dollars a
year." he declared.
I do not anticipate rise in inter-
est rates in the foreseeable future.
We believe we shall be able to re-
fund our obligations, as they come
due, at rates comparable to those
now prevailing. Thus the saving to
the Treasury will continue over q
long period of years"
He said that because the banks
have been encouraged to purchase
issues of short maturity, the coun-
try's financial system lis in a po-
sition of unparalleled liquidity,"
which, he asserted, will prevent a
recurrence of such unsettling de-
flation as came in the aftermath of
the World War;
Mr.. Morgenthau came here to aid
IN plans for the Sixth War Loan
drive which will begin November 20.

Ieither poll all the Democratic votes
or win over the Governor,
Democrats Claim Governorslalp.
For Governor the Democrats and
Republicans have both nominated
residents Of the little town of Leb-
anon. The Democratic choice is
Phil M. Donnelly, member OF the
State Senate and for many years
a member of the lower House in
1.-THE Legislature. In his campaign
for the nomination he had the sup
port of what is left Of the old PEN
dergaste machine, and that is being
used against him by the Republic
cans.
The Republican gubernatorial
nominee Is Jean Paul Bradshaw,
who has been prosecuting attorney
Of Laclede County. in which Leba-
non is located. Democrats, espe-
cially those allied with the Pender-
gast machine, insist they will win
the governorship. Indeed, they say
that Mr. Donnelly is likely to run
ahead of Mr.. Roosevelt in the State.
This may well be true, unless the
bossism tag is fastened too firmly
on him.
In the contests for House seats,
the Republicans have a chance to
pick up one more district, the fifth,
which is part of Kansas City.
Otherwise there is no change now
expected.
Applications for about 00,000 bal
lots have been made by men in the
armed services. If $4,000 ballots are
returned-and that Is the estimate
they might have the deciding vote
in the State.

War Plants Urged 10 Grant
Workers Time 10 Vote
py the Associated Press.


The Secretaries of War and Navy
and the chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board yesterday requested
war industries to permit employees
to vote during regular working hours
November z in cases where voting
before or after is not possible.
A joint statement by Secretaries
StirnSon and Forrestal and WPB
Chairman j. A. Krug said:
Recognizing the paramount obli-
cation of every citizen to vote, we
request that war industries make ar
rangements to permit employees to
vote during regular working hours
in cases where voting before or after
work is not possible. So that there
will be minimum interruption in
production, we urge war workers to
go to the polls either before or after
work. 1t will help greatly in that
connection if other voters at the
polls will take pains to let war plant
employees vote first so that produc-
ton time is not unnecessarily wasted
by voters standing in line"

terday was the last registration day
and the final figures are expected
to be about 10000 less, although
Kansas City has a greater popula-
ton than ever in its history.
Democratic leaders are puzzled,
and some of them have come to the
conclusion that too many of the
war workers-and perhaps others
have no interest In registering and
voting, perhaps because they have
money in their pockets. But for
whatever reason, the registration
dropped, and that is no help to
Roosevelt.
Many Democrats in Missouri are
openly supporting Gov. Dewey. 1t
Is true that many of these Demo-
Gratis also supported Mr.. Willkie in
1910, as Democratic leaders point
out. However, there is reason to
believe that out in the State a con-
siderable number of Democrats are
"off" Mr.. Roosevelt for the first
time, and will either vote for Gov.
Dewey or just stay away from the
polls.
One Clue to Outlook.
A clue to the coming election re-
suits may lie in the primary elec-
tion figures this year. The Demo-
cratic vote in primary elections has
been uniformly greater than the
Republican vote. Four years ago
the Democrats polled 656,O00 pri-
mary votes and the Republicans
298,00. This year the Democrats
primary vote was $4,000 and the
Republican vote 100000. 1t is the
first time the Republicans have ap-
preached the Democratic figures In
primary election since 1928 when
Herbert Hoover carried the State
with lead of I'll 900.
Democratic hopes in Missouri
were dimmed also by the battle
between the Bennett Clark forces
and those supporting Attorney Gen.

Hearings on Wallgren Measure Start in Wash

4 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. - The office of United States Senator Mon c. Wallgren, of the State of Wash ington, announced that the sub committee of the Senate Commerce Committee will start hearings Janu- ary 20 on Wallgren's bill to enact a new fisheries code for Alaskan waters.
 The measure, which will place all fishing waters east of the interna- tional date line under control of the Fish and Wildlife Service of the In- terior Department, would prohibit fishing in waters except by persons holding licenses. The proposed ac- ton is intended to bar the Japanese fishermen coming into the waters off the Alaskan coast.
