Washington, D. c.


The flag over the White House lazi-
ly embraces its staff; squirrels and
starlings loaf on the wide lawn. the
east gate is still locked but the pac-
ing sentry is gone and only the
friendly White House police and Sc
cret service men guard the western
portal and scrutinize the credentials
of visitors, most OF whom they know.
There is mo admittance except on
business, but these days, as the
delegates to the Democratic national
convention meet in Chicago, much OF
the business" here, as elsewhere,
is politics.
Some things OF political signifi-
canoe have happened since the Re-
publicans chose their candidates in
the sWeltering heat OF the Chicago
Stadium, now warming the blood OF
their opponents.
BY this time it is clear that the
Democratic meeting, always more
spirited affair than the Republican
conclave, has a serious undertone,
even though 'the Democrats love
Donnybrook, as one Of them just
reminded me.
There is one outstanding reason
for the need Of some very careful
planning on the part Of the admin
istration supporters even though
they feel confident that the country
will not swap horses in the middle
OF stream.
One veteran politician, ardently
anti-administration but too long a
laborer in the vineyard to let his
emotions run away with his hard
sense, said to me: This time the
Republicans have ticket that the
people who don't want Roosevelt
can vote for" That seems faint
praise but it was not meant to be
damning.
OF course, you don't have to be a
cynic to admit that the vote which
usually wins q presidential election
is q vote against the man or the
party in power. The preponderance
OF that vote is motivated by the
good old American idea that in gov
eminent, variety is the spice OF the
nations life. Since Hitler started on
the rampage a purely artificial stu
alton has existed which tended to
nullify that natural trend. And the
one, big imponderable in the coming
election is the relative weight Of
those two ancient slogans throw
the rascals out and don't swap
horses while crossing stream
Because the Republican leaders
realized this they tried to subordi-
nate all other efforts to the end OF
minimizing the Importance OF any
thing which administration stands
for, which affects the war and inter-
national relations. That is why har
mony was achieved as it was not
achieved at the Philadelphia con-
vention. and why the fiercely con-
flicting forces we're silenced behind
closed doors leaving the delegates
on the floor as harmonious as Hay
den string quartet
The real job was to keep the con-
vention from producing foreign
plank which would anger the isola~
tionists, which would make it posi-
BILE for the Democrats to say, "as
far as world affairs 60, you won't
benefit by making change, and
you might affect the war, or the
peace"

Commission to provide assistance
to discharged veterans and their
dependents in securing all rights
and benefits due them under exist

by the executive committee of the
North Carolina department of the
American Legion
The recommendation, prepared
by committee headed by Robin

commissioner would be authorized

TYPE PAY REPORT

RALEIGH, Oct. 20. ~ After
three years of effort devoted to
simplifying the system by which
North Carolina employers are re-
CURED to report wages to the I'M
employment compensation commits
sion, the commission has announc-
ed that, beginning with reports due
for 1945, employers may make out
single list form, which may be
carbon copy of their wage report
to the federal government.
This simplification eliminates the
necessity of filing some 100000 sep
arate wage slip reports for indi-
vidual employees each quarter of
more than 100000 annually,
Chairman A. L. Fletcher said.
Beginning with reports of wages
paid in 1915, slip reporting will be
a thing of the past. Employer
reports will come in list form,
and machine recording will in large
part replace the old method of hand
processing the records, Fletcher
said. Thus, a major saving will be
made for the states employers who
made out quarterly reports.
