Now, with aged Senator Hiram Johnson ailing, Democratic leaders both in Washington and California hope Boddy can be persuaded to run for the Senate. Once be- fore, when Hiram Johnson was under an oxygen tent in the Naval Hospital, word that Governor War ren would appoint Herbert Hoover to his Senate seat caused the spunky, cantankerous California Senator to recover. This was the story carried to FDR by Naval Doctor Ross Mcintyre. Emil Schram, time head of the Re- construction Finance Corporation now head of the N. Y. Stock Ex- | change, was invited to take Jesse Jones old job as Federal Loan Administrator. Schram came to Washington to look things over, went away shaking his head. Tenure of office was too insecure in Washington, he mumbled, and he had too good a job in New York.

ANOTHER HASH MARK

! On August 4, 179O, the act of Congress establish ing the Revenue Cutter Service was signed by President Washington, and this week, the Coast Guard which sprang from the old Revenue Cutter Service celebrates it's 155th anniversary of service to the United States-the oldest independent branch of the armed forces of this country. It became known as the Coast Guard in 1915 when the Revenue Cutter Service and the Lighthouse Service amalgamated into the unit.
 In the Seventeen Nineties the Coast Guard was the main armed force of the young government and it has taken part in every war except that against Tripoli, since that time.
 Alaska first the benefits of the Coast Guard 1867 when the cutter Lincoln sailed into territorial waters, and since that time the Coast Guard has played important part in the building of Alaska.
 Most famous the Territorys story of the Coast Guard is that of the onetime Scotch whaer the Bear, staunch barkentine which sailed into Alaskan waters in 1886 under the command of Captain M A. Healy and for than 40 years battered the storms and ice packs performing countless tasks needed help keep the early pioneers the realm the living
 In subsequent years additional vessels and more men were sent to Alaska, and until the outbreak of in the Pacific the Coast Guard the Terri torys foremost military service.
 On the spot when declared this branch of the service took early security to protect waterfront shipping facilities and instituted air patrols along with patrols Convoy patrol for vessels heading for the Aleutians another service well performed and the knowledge of Alaskan waters gained through many years of Coast Guard operations in Alaska proved valuable
 Today the Coast Guard has some 170O0O men and women in it's ranks throughout the world. Nearly

Then We May Forget
Seattle Times

There is no present thought of closing any of the Armys bases occupied by the Alaska Division, nor will there be until after final defeat of Japan So said Lieut.. Gen. Harold l. George, chief of the Army Air Transport Command, few days ago, while in Edmon- ton, Alberta, northbound flight.
 General George also gave Edmonton cheering as surance that the airline route through that city to Alaska most surely will be maintained beyond the end of because of its commercial importance As to this he is confident the United States and Canada will reach agreement
 But so far his interview with Edmonton news men reveals, the general said never a word about Alcan, the so-called highway which yet unidentified authority of government ordered the Army engineers to smash through the Canadian wilds to no good purpose whatsoever.
 Some day there will be real and truly useful highway between Alaska and the States" Then but we fear no sooner-we may be able to forget the irrecaimable waste of manpower and money on Acan

JIM FARLEY MOURNS CHURCHILL

Jim Farley came back to his old haunts last week end and had lunch with, among others, Tommy Corcoran, head of the older FDR Brain Trust with whom he did not always agree. A dozen Senators also were present, guests of South Caro- lina's Burnet Maybank.
 Chief topic was the defeat of Winston Churchill. Several Sen ators blamed the defeat on Beaver brook. Some said Churchill was too old and too tired, hadn't sensed the temper of the British people, was victim of his incompetent friends.
 Jim Farley deplored Churchill's defeat, but dropped this warning to his Senatorial friends: You are going to get some real competition now"
 Jim went on to explain that pre- Viously the only radical ideas came from Russia, but now American politicians would have to compete with radical ideas from British politicians.
 Farley went on to say that Churchill had saved England. Whereupon, Kentucky's scrappy Senator Chandler observed:
 'Nuts!" Two hundred and fifty American divisions and the Ameri- can people saved England.

SHALL u. S. INSIST
ON PACIFIC BASES?

An element in the Washington admin
istration is mortified over the recent ap-
peal of Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King
that the United States acquire and hold
number of Pacific Island bases wreSted
from the japanese, including 1mo Jima
and the Bonin isles. This is the bloc of
advisers and in some instances officials
identified with the policy making of the
government busy shouting their approval
of Russia's sweeping acquisition of vast
parcels of western Europe; the bloc that
approves the division of Poland in Rus
sia's favor.
If it is right and proper for Russia to
take territory from an ally, why does the
same rule not apply to the United States ?
"A question without an adequate answer
as yet.
Kings plea for the Pacific bases is not
one for expansion of territory; his is not
the idea of territorial grabs. All the
islands he believes should be under title
of this country, would not make up even
fraction of a province in Poland, for
instance
There is no phase of conquest in Kings
policy. He and others who indorse the
move make it clear that acquisition of the
designated bases be through proper chan
nels. But we must insist that these bases
shall not revert to the vanquished en-
pire from which our marines and navy
and soldiers wrested them; nor should
final decision of their disposal be left to
any agency in which the United States
does not hold a secure place, SO that our
voice may share in the disposition nego-
tiations.
These islands were Japan's outposts
for defense and her outlying fortresses
in her invasion channel to the United
States. If we are to help make the peace
and then play major part in keeping
that peace, then these far-flung Pacific
bases directly are our concern. In our
hands we know where they may figure in
the future; out of our control they again
become the war properties of the next
conflict.
If there is such thing as the Atlantic
Charter, then why the cry of alarm that
we would be violating that charter by
insisting on holding these islands, and
the ready consent, in fact, open advo-
cacy Of Russia's territorial acquisitions?
