 ed the opening session.
 Connally invited only committee members to question the witnesses. When they posed inquiries touch ing on delicate phases of interna- tional politics, Connally effectively shut off discussion by questioning the "propriety'' of such remarks in an open hearing.
 Chandler, not member of the committee, said he had been unable to post a list of prepared questions to Stettinius, Grew and Clayton, and said committee members told him they resented it when Connal- ly interposed the issue of "proprie- ty" when some questions were asked.
 There were two notable such in- stances in yesterdays hearing. The first occurred when Sen. Joseph F. Guffey, D., Pa, asked Stettinius:
 Are the British now using lend- lease against our Ethiopian Allies?" Stettinius gulped and Connally ob- jected:
 Tn view of the current war situ- ation, Senator, do you think that a proper question?
 Guffey withdrew it.
 Question Of PrOpriety
 La3er ConnaIly raised the pro- priety" question when Sen. James E. Murray, D., Mont, asked Dunn whether Prime Minister Winston Churchill was forcing the Amer ican State Department to play sec- ond fiddle in this Greek thing" Murray withdrew his question when Dunn promised to tell later in clos ed session what he knows about Churchill and Greece.
 Guffey, questioned later about the motives behind his question on the Philippians, told reporters that he had been effectively shut up" and expected to learn more about it in a closed session of the committee.
 Even though the nominations ap- peared to be sailing through swift ly; there was no letup in Liberal" opposition to the list under consid- eration.
 President Philip Murray of the congress of industrial organizations protested in statement addressed to Connally that the CIO does not feel that the names submitted provide a balanced cam for the conduct of our foreign affairs in the crucial years immediately ahead"
 Although Murray did not mention any of the nominees specifically, most of the liberal" opposition is levelled at Clayton, wealthy Dallas, Tex, cotton broker.
 Clayton took cognizance of such opposition when he read 8 prelim- mary statement before the commit tee yesterday.
 Tt has been suggested by some persons that I am a believer in car- tels," he said Nothing could be farther from the truth"
 Clayton reminded the committee that his experience in international trade has been the merchandising of raw cotton, which he called the most highly competitive business in the world.
 Defining a cartel as combina- tion of firms to maintain prices above a competitive figure, Clayton asserted:
 'The nature of the cotton mer- chandising business excludes any such arrangement"

Probably the best horse story of
the Fargo tracks varied career,
has as its foundation q horse, an
owner and q jockey that were
stranded. and all had to be re-
deemed from hook as 1t were. The
story dates from the early inception
Of racing in Cumberland, and at
this particular meeting, this horse
and its owner. and a contract rider
jockey, shipped from a Canadian
track for the Fargo meeting.
The owner, an orchardist of Old
Virginny, depended on fruit sales
to help finance his hobby, which
was this particular horse. However,
the bottom fell out Of the fruit
market, and there were no sales.
On arrival in Cumberland at the
Western Maryland freight sheds, in
the rear Of The Times building, the
horse was impounded for the
transportation cost.
Word soon circulated about The
Times about the misfortune of this
stable, and Times employees Clipped
in to make pool to give this nice
looking steed chance to show his
stuff. Jack Moran, the owner, prom
ised the boys that if the horse failed
to win a race. he would allow the
horse to be disposed of by drawing
among the contributors.
Funds were secured to enable the
horse to be vanned and quartered
in good style at Fargo. arrange
ments made for plenty feed. and
then quarters and meals assured
at Porter's National Highway Hotel
for the owner and jockey. whose
name was something like Bolog-

CHINESE ON THE JOB

Since then the Chinese have
done great job in building the
airports from which u. S. B-29s
take off for the bombing of Japan,
And with proper leadership and
equipment many believe they could
do an Al job in taking other
detectives.
The final decision probably de-
ponds ID on political factors; t2)
on transportation. Regarding the
latter, the Air Transport Command
continues to perform miracles in
carrying every drop of gasoline, all
airplane parts, personnel, food, and
every conceivable type OF equip
ment to U. S. air bases in China.
AS the enemy now full well
knows--though the U. S. public
may not-these transport planes
now fly during the monsoon sea-

said was impossible.

Mr.. Wallace's Defeat

Vice President Walace's defeat might conceivably

a convention which obviously would have preferred
any of half dozen other candidates His victory
was tribute not to himself but to the President.
This year, his own he rolled up good deal of
undoubtedly enthusiastic support. large group Of
delegates believed in him and wanted him. He comes
out of the contest with his dignity unmpaired.
None of the reasons advanced against his re-
nomination touched his integrity. They arose in dis
trust of his practical political wisdom and were
strengthened by some reckless public utterances A

but they not adapted to the Democratic Party.
There was fear, too, that he would be unable to
get on which the party with Congress if the fate
which Mr.. Roosevelt himself must have taken into
consideration should project him into the Presidency
He has large abilities and real devotion to the
cause of "the common man" as he conceives it. His
political defeat leaves open to him career as thinker
and prophet in which he may be happier than he ever
could have been in active politics.

FEDERAL CORPORATIONS

The Byrd Joint Committee on Reduction of Nom
essential Expenditures, after two of study has
issued report relating to Government corporations
which should prove amazing to the layman because
it proves that the Federal Government has really
gone into business on large scale.
There are some A Government corpora
tions having net liabilities in of 16 billion
dollars as of June 1913, and net assets estimated at
20 billion dollars-no small item. The actual value
of the assets, however, is highly uncertain But the
committee notes that these corporations have bor-
rowing power of billions of dollars in addition to
outstanding loans of 6.5 billion.
These corporations employ 10000 individuals and
are operating at current loss of 103 million dollars
In addition there are IS unincorporated agencies,
not covered by the report operating loan activities
and enterprises.
From the viewpoint of administration the cor
porate form of organization probably does have
advantages that make it desirable for giving effect
