 The nomination of Jimmy Byrnes to the vacant State Department leadership, will of course not enlarge the ranks of Westerners, he coming from South Carolina but will put the South in the scene
 With the incumbents Henry Morgenthau Jr. Of New York; Henry Stimson, of New York; James Forrestal of New York Harold Ickes, from Chicago, and Henry Wallace, Iowan-an even half of the ten man Cabinet is from West of the Mississippi and all sections of the Nation will have their voice in Cabinet discussions
 Truly novel and pleasing picturel
 We now look to this representative Cabinet group to bring brighter colors into the painting of the National scene, through actions based on nation wide perspective
 Two of the new men are stepping into tough jobs that may likely plunge them immediately into controversy Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach must take the lead in unangling the Nations snarled labor situation while Secretary of Agriculture Anderson will meet expanded responsibilities with the added job of War Food Administrator
 Westerners have, however generally demonstrated their abilities to handle the toughest of jobs-the West was built by men and women conquering obstacles that the weak would never have attempted.

THE WEST MOVES IN,

Looking at President Truman's Cabinet today, one sees widest spread of representation from all the Nation yet grouped together the panel of advisors to any Chief Executive
 Four new Cabinet appointees have moved into their offices and with the announcement of the man who is to head the State Department, Presi dent Truman will have half his Cabinet composed of men of his selection
 One notable fact concerning the four already on the job sal four from west of the Mississippi River. The course of the Nation is indeed swinging westward.
 Lewis B. Schwellenbach, new Secretary of Labor is one of the very few from the West Coast ever gain Cabinet status His political career launched from Puyallup, Washington, took him to the National Capital as Senator that State Just prior to his nomination to the Cabinet he has held a Federal District Court Judgeship, also the West Coast at the helm of the Labor Department out one of the clique from the Atlantic Seaboard that Franklin Roosevelt gathered about him.

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline

TUESDAY. JULY 3

TUESDAY, JULY 3
 Friendly stars rule today which should be fortunate for beginners of many sorts. Mental vision should be keen and reliable under this con- figuration.
 HEART AND HOME
 Girls should find this a date for mild love affairs but better for friendships. It is suspicious for studies, especially for vacation col lege courses. In the home informal entertaining should be successful.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Again astrologers stress the wis dom of thrift. Temporary unem- ployment of large number of men and women is indicated with heavy drains on insurance projects. Home owners will be especially fortunate in the next few months.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Although opposition to prohibition will be strong there will be wide spread concern regarding the in crease in the use of alcoholic bever- ages by women as well as men and much discussion of restraining methods.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Infiltration of Fascist elements is forecast for the United States. As trologers warn that our natural hu- manitarian instincts will be exploit ed and that, in the guise of refugees, dangerous persons will seek to enter the country.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of travel and change which will cause revision of well laid plans.
 Children born on this day may possess unusual talents in addition to general intelligence of high order. They should be wisely discip- lined and carefully educated.

EXIT MISS PERKINS

Next to Secretary of the Interior Ickes, the Roosevelt Cabinet mem Der who has held office longest stepped out of the Cabinet last week end Several days before she stepped out, Miss Perkins called up her friend Attorney Gener a l Riddle, who left the Cabinet simul- taneously.
 How do you feel?" she asked.
 Fine" replied Riddle.
 We'll said the lady who has been Secretary of Labor for l2 long and tumultous years, let's go out and celebrate"
 This column has sometimes been critical of Miss Perkins during her long tenure of office. But as we look back over the years, some thing should be said to balance the criticism In the first place, no period in the entire history of the nation has been more difficult from the point of view of labor. Labor was in the throes of growing pains. It was an era which Per kins inherited, not one which she personally brought about.
 And while there may be cause to debate the wisdom of appoint ing a woman to such a difficult post during such a difficult era, yet when we look back on Miss Perkins sterile and hidebound pre- decessors, the William Nuckless Doaks and the Puddler Jim Davises of yesteryear it must be admitted that the lady shone in comparison.
 NOTE-Like some other members of the Cabinet, Miss Perkins re- tires almost penniless. he has ex- hausted her private savings and as Jim Farley so often said, it is all most impossible to live on Cab inet salary Four years ago, Miss Perkins had a chance to become President of a New England col lege for women, but FDR asked her to remain on.

Also increased Russian forces have been seen in Thrace, the border of European Turkey Should Russia take over these areas, and should Turkey then in- yoke the United Nations Charter to prevent war, Russia could use it's much-debated power of veto to block action by the United Nations.
 NOTE-It was to stop Russia from taking the Dardenelles that the British and French came into the Crimean War on Turkeys side against Russia in 1854. Should there be war between Turkey and Russia today, the Arab states undoubtedly would come in on the side of Tur- key, putting the British, with strong Arab ties, in a most difficult po- sition

He reminded the Russians that at Yalta, Stalin had gone along with the other Big Three in assuring Turkey regard ing the views of himself, Roosevelt and Churchill" as to the con- tinuation of Turkish independence and integrity"
 Development No. 9 Foreig n Commissar Molotov has had an- other session with the Turkish Am bassador in Moscow in which the Russians pulled in their horns omewhat-though they are still sticking a long way out.
 According to uncensored diplo- matic dispatches, Molotov told the Turkish Ambassador during this session that Russia would require bases in the Dardenelles "only in case of war, not in peace" Pre- viously, the Russians had demand ed the right to take over this vital strip of waterway over which Ar mics have fought for years and which the Cars of Russia have coveted ever since there was g Russia.
 Molotov also said that Russia wished to talk to Turkey about various questions concerning the [ Balkan states. This was considered an indirect way of saying that Rus sia wants European Turkey cedec to Bulgaria.
 However, Molotov added that il the above propositions were agreed Russia would be glad to sign 2 treaty of alliance with Turkey which would go further than 6 treaty of friendship.
 These ideas, though more concil- iatory than previous Russian pro- posals, got nowhere with the Turk ish Ambassador He replied that negotiations in Moscow were ended Anything further to be said, he tolo Molotov, must be said in Ankara.

Dumping Wheat
(NeW York TimeS)

At time when acute food shortages prevail in Europe and Scarcities at home are becoming more important it is reported that in Oklahoma wheat is being dumped in the fields because there are not enough freight available to ship it to terminal markets. Thus, while appeal is made for people to help with the harvesting, we learn that some of the products harvested may not be transported to the market Here is another illustration of the need for better coordination in our food program.
 This situation has not developed suddenly, men, farmers and State officials have been warning Federal agencies for several months that ranspora- ton facilities would be inadequate Why has it not been possible to have sufficient number of freight cars to meet these needs when they were known so long in advance? Certainly, freight cars are being used to transport many items less essential than wheat Moreover it strange that enough freight cars have not been available, particularly inasmuch as the needs of a one-front would appear to be smaller than those of a two-front Who is to blame for the reduction in food supplies which nay
 take place because of the failure to act earlier? To what extent will available supplies of wheat fail to reach the market? How soon can we expect cor rection of any mistakes that have developed? With large-scale harvesting to start in Kansas the answer to these questions of urgent national interest.

BY JACK HAND,


Charley Grimm can thank his
cousins from Cincinnati" for paw
ing the pennant road for his Chi
cago Cubs by contributing Is
straight games to the league leaders
in the seasons most consistent per-
Torrance.
Although the Bruins are far from
"in" with a six-gsme lead, their
main worry today is not the Cardi-
mails but the thought that this happy
season series with the Reds has only
seven more games to go.
Their favorite playmates took IL
on the chin again yesterday, but
twice, bowling in both halves of a
twi-night doubleheader before the
superior chucking of couple OF fell
lows named Hank (Wyse and Bo-
rowy). The scores were 11-9 and
5-1.
Although Deacon Bill McKechnie
of the Reds thinks the Cubs have
trouble ahead in st. Louis, his team
hasn't been able to beat the lead
ers once all year. The record for
such matters is 81 out of % meet
ings in a season, held jointly by
the 1927 Yankees, 1887 Pirates and
1909 Cubs. Nobody ever has swept
a complete set of % tilts in modern
days.
Chicago pitching has been moth
ing short of sensational in the last
few weeks and in the last 10 games
the Bruins have won nine with eight
complete jobs and an average OF
about six hits per tilt for the op-
position.
Wyse is the big winner with l6 tc

George seemed to have all the speed
in this league.
Stirnweiss dethroned Case last
season after the Washington out
fielder set the pace for five years.
Now Myatt has ambitions and to-
day he and Case are tied with 20
thefts apiece.
Case isn't going to see the honors
go even to a teammate without run
ming himself all out, although he
admits he has adopted a different
attitude toward stealing.
"I've reached stage in my career
when realize that l must conserve
myself If I'm going to last another
10 years." Case said today. He is 80
years old.
Cases pride will not let him give
up the chase, however.

Many of them are from kids who
hope to play big league ball them
selves some day, and you can't let
a kid down.
~They apparently don't care what
I hit but they sure want me to
continue stealing bases"
In the past month Cases legs
have been giving him trouble, and
recently a painful carbuncle has
slowed him down.
He never expects to equal his total
of 81 thefts in 1943, tying the
modern American League record set
by Ben Chapman, then of the
Yankees, or his mark of being
thrown out only six times in A at
tempts a few years ago. In this
category, Max Carey, former Pitts
burgh Pirate, set the major league
record, being tagged out only once
in 81 attempts.
Myatt, while almost as fast as
Case, never has won thieving
laurels. He admits, however. that
he is out to beat his teammate this
year.
Myatt takes a bigger lead than his
rival, and slides into bases so hard
that he literally tears them up by
the roots.
