Senator Burton (Rl of Ohio.
said
"POStpOnement Of any final
determination of boundaries and
the final status of degree of i'm
dependence which Finland would
have, is in conformity TO the
Moscow agreement.
'Jf hostilities between Fin
land and Russia end new or very

time will be taken to formulate
peace terms which are fair and
acceptable to the Finnish peO-
pie"

''If we are going TO live up

Senator Shipstead (R) Of Min

Grace Kaercher Davis, Clerk of
Supreme Court, filed Friday as a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Congress in the third
Congressional district.
Mrs. Davis, the only woman to be
elected to state office in Minnesota,
has served as Supreme Court clerk
since 1922 with the exception of one
term. Her current four-year term
runs until 1947, hence she does not
have to risk the office she holds.
81 feel that 1 have already served
my apprenticeship by being in this
position for 10 years." she said.
"Now 1 want to tackle a more diff
ficult task because 1 feel that 1
can be of greater help in Congress.
1 know the needs of this district
and of the state. I know I am
going to win"
Originally, a resident of Orion
vile where she was associated with
her father, the late A. B. Kaercher,
in law practice and land, farm loan
and newspaper business, she now
resides on her 81 acre homestead on

The three sergeants who left the
States Feb. %, 1912, in the same
company and returned to the States
together, March 80, 1914, on fur
Tough, said they were glad to be
back, though they were finding it
difficult to adjust themselves, after
the long stay in New Guinea where
the lowest temperature of 80 de-
grees is considered cold.
Their company was the first con-
tingent of Negro troops to enter
Australia and at that time were
commanded by all Negro commits
stoned officers. However, a white
executive officer and Battalion
commander were assigned to replace
Negroes upon their transfer to New
Guinea.
They all hold a three battle star
medal and were given a citation by
the War Department for their work
in the Papuan campaign.
Technical Sergeant Brown was
Sergeant Major of Personnel for a
short while. This is his first fur

Tech/Sgt. Carey was stricken
with Malaria fever twice and con-
fined to hospital in New Guinea.
The boys stated that newspapers
and magazines were as welcome as
a letter, and these are the things
that really keep the boys going.
All three men were taken on a
tour of the Twin Cities Ordnance
Plant at New Brighton, Tuesday.

Although Senator Gillette of
Iowa promised to vote for cloture
because he does not believe in a
filibuster, he announced that he is
not in favor of the anti-poll tax
bill. He only believes it should have
a free and fair debate.
Among the Senators who voted
for cloture when the anti-poll tax
bill was up in 1912 are: Barley,

lay a vote on H.R. 7 indefinitely.

Most Republicans Will Favor
ClOture; Eleven Definite
Promises Made

Promises Made
WASHINGTON, D. C. (NAACP)
With the anti-pon tax bill
scheduled to come up in the SEN
ate sometime during the week of
April "a, the stage is set for
bitter debate in which race hatred
speeches are almost certain to be
featured.
The Southern Senators from poll
tax states announced many months
ago, after the bill passed the House,
that they would filibuster against
it. Loudest among them is Senator
Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, who
at first promised to talk "for 80
days" but on March q before the
Mississippi legislature revised his
pledge to "18 months"
The only way filibuster can be
broken effectively is through the
voting of cloture Limitation of de-
bate), and in order to do this a
two-thirds vote of senators pres
ent is necessary. There has been
some indication that the Senate
may vote cloture. Senator Wallace
H. White, Jr., of Maine, generally
regarded as Minority Leader fol-
lowing the death of Senator
Charles McNary, announced re-
Gently that he thought" most of
the Republicans would vote for
cloture.
Most Senators are very cagey
about making a positive pledge on
cloture, but in answer to a letter
from the NAACP last winter, the
following Senators definitely prom
ised to vote for cloture: Barley

The first was the heroine of that famous editorial Of
bygone age, eyes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus
Thirty years later had to write article about
lady of the who had eight husbands and shook
them down like a nurses thermometer
What could have been more natural than to slug the
story, Eyes, Santa Claus, there is a Virginia."
Which exactly what did. 1t strictly a
natural But of the marrying Virginia and Santa
Claus Virginia two different people. One was in
the East and one in the West
Can they both be East and West? There are two
Caronas in opposite directions The Virginia inter-
viewed not only had eight husbands but married one
twice.
He got away the first time girl like that doesn't
have to believe in Santa Claus long her feet hold

characters in my life. met the original of little Lord
Faunteroy and also the little Georgia boy whose papa
wrote the famous Mighty LAX Rose" about him.
