OVER $2,OOO E NOW RAISED IN
 NWf CAMPAIGN
One fifth of Quota Sub- sCribed- Solicitors
 Announced

Contributions, large and small, to the National War Fund are being received in steadily increasing numbers, according to the encour- aging report made today by Jack Fletcher, Chairman of the local drive. He stated that the total re- ported to him this morning by the various district Chairmen, was $2,- 04180.
 This figure represents a very satisfactory beginning he said, lin the city-wide campaign to raise Juneau's quota of a minimum of $1O,500 Our organization has just been completed, so thus far only a very small minority of the towns people have been given the oppor- tunity to make their gifts to this great humanitarian effort. I know it sounds hackneyed to talk of the privilege of giving; but in view of the vast good done by the National War Fund agencies I sincerely be- lieve that no thoughtful person in the community will care to be missing from the list of contribut- ors. Within the next two weeks each one will be approached by a solicitor
 Every dollar raised will be used by the Allied War Relief, the War Prisoners Aid, the United Seamens Service, or the USO, to help our men and women of the Armed services and to relieve the extreme suffering among the people of our allies. It is expected that this fund will serve humanity in 91 different countries scattered over six conti- nents."

The w ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Lt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on activ service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-A little ruefully, recently, FDR told Campaign Man. ager Hannegan that he could ex- pect no campaign speeches from three members of his Cabinet Secretary of State Hull, Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of Navy Forrestal Stimson, a Re- publican will probably vote for FDR, but make no speeches. For restal, nominal Democrat, doesn't want the Navy to be in politics, and isn't a very good speech maker anyway. He is touching some Wall Street friends for dough, however.
 In 1940, Secretary Hull did not definitely come out for Roosevelt until the last two days. He is in the same boat today-if not more so.
 In telling Hannegan that Hull wouldn't speak in this campaign, FDR may have had in mind the fact that Hull has difficulty with his throat and doesn't like to make speeches. Also the fact that Hull has been keeping aloof from poli- tics. When the Dewey boys re- ported that Hull would be kept on as a Dewey adviser, Presidential aides had to do a bit of .prodding to make sure the Secretary of State issued a statement of loyalty to the White House.
 INDIAN SUMMER-This is the betwixt and : b etween period in Washington Summer heat is gone Steaming radiators are not yet try ing to bring back summer. :. Leaves are falling Congress is gone Capitol Hill is being scrubbed Blackout curtains are being junked. Millions of speeches are being franked out from the busiest room in Washington, the House mailing room, shipped to Congressmen for campaign litera- ture Elsewhere around the capitol, elevator boys now concen- trate on the comics.
 THE WHITE HOUSE-But al 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue thing: are tense. FDR has rolled up hi political sleeves, admits to clost friends that he has real figh' more people than ever, writing more letters, beginning to direc his own campaign Adviser agree that he needs to Pri vately, the President thinks he1 carry New York State by abou 100000. If so, he thinks he's in but it's going to be close.
 REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS The Dewey boys on Connection Avenue are hopping with activity More than 40 employees keel phones, typewriters, mimeograpl machines clicking Every news paper is watched. Democrats boners are picked up fast, imme diately converted to campaign am munition Republicans have ; teletype linking their New York Albany, Chicago offices to Wash ington, so each can tell the other simultaneously what is doing . .
