DEMOCRATIC PAYROLL

The Democrats went into this
convention with a payroll of 50
employees, drawing salaries of $4,-
476.9l a week-which is less than
any payrolls in previous years
Money raising is lot tougher
these days, and the party is econ
omizing.
Here is the list of the main reg
ulars who have done the spade
work to put across the Chicago
convention and will carry the ball
from here on:
Chairman Bob flanagan, ST.

Paul Porter, $1,153.84; assistant to
the chairman Charley Nicholson,

Moore, $500; Joseph Berger, $500;
Lorena Hickok, s46l.52; George F.

monthly.

STRATEGY FORECAST

One of the main arguments that will be used
against continuation of the Democratic administra-
ton as the campaign develops will be that the
Communists have infitrated and are now working
part of the Democratic Party.
Already Republican coumnists and congressman
are using the argument, submitting a convincing angle
for the State of Washington which recently gave
indications that both local and national offices from
this State will go to Republicans.
The following statement, made, according to the
Seattle Times by William H. Murray, Communist lead
er in the State of Washington, is being tied in
with the recent endorsement of a Fourth Term by
Communist Chief Earl Browder
l. I'VE making real progress in this State,
but must not be impatient. We must avail our
selves of every forwardlookng movement that leads
in the direction of the ultimate MARKHAM goal
q THE recent success of liberals and progressves
at the Democratic State convention is of tremendous
significance. The Democratic Party adopted there

JUNIOR COLLEGE
FOR 5ITkA5CH00L

SITKA-Junior College work will
be added to the program of the
Sheldon Jackson School here by
vote of the Presbyterian Board of
National Missions in New York.
There will be a two-year course
starting this September with a
strong vocational, cultural and re-
ligious emphasis which will fill a
long-felt need for education in
Alaska beyond the high school level
for promising young people all over
the Territory.
A building campaign already has
! been launched which will provide
from a fund of 100000 for a mod
ern school and administration
building in the center of the fine
campus which faces the Bay of
Sitka. Plans are being drawn and
building will begin as soon as re-
lstructions are relaxed.
Sheldon jackson School was
started in April, 1878, and was
named after DR.. Sheldon Jackson,
pioneer Presbyterian missionary and
the first U. S. Commissioner of
Education for Alaska John G.

POLITICAL CHAFF

FDR set the precedent for quick
acceptance speeches. In 1882, he
flew out to the Chicago conven-
ton. In 1914, he accepted even
before the convention met In
contrast, in l848, Zachary Taylor
never knew he had been nominated
for President until month after
the Wing convention in Chicago.
Taylor was then living in New Or
leans and, when the letter arrived
from the convention rendering him
the nomination, he refused to re-

Edward S. Corwin, motel legal
historian, has called an elector who
breaks his trust IAN electoral Bene-
dict Arnold" AN elector,' he says,
"is an abortive organism. He is
not merely functionless, he is dam
gerous."
The deadly row between Jeffer-
son and Aaron Burr arose over
votes in the Electoral College. Burr
received as many votes as Jeffer-
son in the Electoral College and
the contest had to be settled in
the House of Representatives. Ac-
tually, Burr was only supposed to
be Vice Presidential candidate, and
Jefferson's real opponent was John
Adams But the miX-up over
electoral votes led subsequently to
Burrs political bitterness and the
wreck OF his career in his trial
for treason, and exile.
In the famous Tilden-Hayes con-
test in 1876, Samuel Tilden, a
Democrat, got the majority of the
popular vote by quarter million
margin, and was declared elected
by the newspapers. However, car
pet-bag Governors of several South
ern States refused to follow the
popular returns and instructed their
delegates to the Electoral College
to vote for Hayes. Duplicate and
contradictory returns on the pop
ular vote had been sent in, and so,
after a bitter debate which nearly
threw the country into bloodshed,
the dispute was thrashed out in
Congress, and Hayes was declared
President Trouble probably
was ayerted only because Tilden
advised his followers to accept teh
decision
All OF this background indicates
why FDR's politicoes, though not
admitting it publicly, are scrutin-
lzlng credentials carefully and are
not at all happy about the Elec-

Girls Scouts 10
Take Course in
0utdoorCookinq

Girl Scouts and other interested
girls are invited to meet Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in the IOOF
Hall to enroll for a five-day course
in outdoor cooking with Miss Mae
Stephenson, district extension agent
from the University of Alaska as
director and leader.
Scouts will win their outdoor cook
badge for this course if they attend
and participate in each Of the five
day programs. Friday will be en-
rollment and general discussion OF
foods.
Monday, Miss Stephenson will
meet with the group at Evergreen
Bowl with Harold Smith teaching
fire building and other phases of
camp preparation. Tuesday will
prove an interesting day as the girls
will learn camp tin-can cookery.
Miss Stephenson explains that this
does not mean just opening a can
of food and heating it over a fire
but something entirely different and
in the nature of surprise for the
lucky girls who attend these meet
ings.
The lessons will be. given each day
beginning Monday at the Evergreen
Bowl and will be approximately two
hours in duration. For the Scouts
this course means better preparation
for assuming their duties and re-
possibilities as members of the Girl
Scout Camp which opens this
month at the Eagle River Camp.
Camp first aid is among the
important subjects which will be
briefly but effectively taught in this
particular course.

Nazi Defense Installations Are Pounded
Two Americans Taken
Off Refugee Ship in
Midotean by Nazi Sub

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June L.
A German submarine stopped the
Portuguese liner Serpa Pinto, carry
ing refugees, in midocean last Fri
day and took two American citizens
as prisoners and threatened to tor
pedo the vessel, the Fourth Naval
District announces.
The sub crew took all of the 385
passengers and crewnen off the
vessel, then after they had spent
seven to nine hours in lifeboats,
decided against torpedoing and per-
hitting the passengers and crewmen
to return to the ship and allow her
to continue to Philadelphia.
The refugees were Europeans
bound to Canada and travelling
under the sponsorship of the AM
erican Joint Distribution Commit
tee.
Three persons lost their lives in
the transfer from the Serpa Pinto
to the lifeboats, one the 16-month-
old baby Beatrice Trapunski, daugh-
ter of two refugees from Poland and
the others were the ships doctor
and cook.
The two American citizens taken
prisoners were Virgilio Magine, %,
of New Bedford, Mass, a barber,
and Manuel Pinto, %, of Waterbury,

been in Portugal for a number OF

LIBERTY SHIP

in FOG, RAIN

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, June l..
The sea is pounding the Liberty
ship Henry Bergh to pieces on the
rocks of the Farralon Islands, IS
miles west of the Golden Gate, but
more than 1000 Navy passengers
are safe.
The l0,500-ton vessel ran ashore
in the fog and rain at dawn yester-
day bringing sailors home from war
service in the South Pacific.
Rescue operations were orderly
and there are no reports of casual
ties among the men, hundreds of
whom floated in lifeboats or rode
RATS until picked up by patrol boats.
So swiftly were rescue operations
put in effect that the majority of
men were removed directly from the
grounded transport to patrol boats.
The ship was operating under pri-
vate charter and was built in 1912
at the Henry Kaiser Yards in Rich
mond, Calf.
