Japanese Beetle
Finds Poison Ivy
To Its Likinq

The japanese beetle, it has been
discovered, is not without one good
trait-it eats poison ivy.
This was revealed by county
agents in nearby areas who have
observed that the beetle, which has
a voracious appetite for almost
everything green which grows, has
also acquired a taste for the dread
ivy weed
But that doesn't mean that peo-
pie who are allergic to poison ivy
should assume the countryside
will be eaten bare of it. The agents
reported the weed is so abundant
that even the swaming beetles can't
make dent in the supply.

tion of the races. Separate schools
and colleges for the races, it is said
here by observing leaders, will
eventually be attacked by the forces
opposing race segregation.
More than year ago Virginius
Dabney, editor of the Richmond
Times Dispatch, advocated editori-
ally the abolition of segregation of
the races on the buses and street
cars in Richmond. The issue was
discussed at length in the forum of
the daily by both white and Negro
readers with a majority of the cor
respondents expressing approval of
Mr.. Dabney's proposal.
The argument of the white daily
was that the segregation of the
races on street cars and buses is
an outmoded custom. The thing just
doesn't work any longer, the white
editor said. He was on the verge of
suggesting that the Virginia legis-
lature abolish the law, but yielded
when others cautioned that it was
possibly premature to take such q
step at that time.

II the Republicans should win
control Of the Senate in November,
they would most likely elect Sena-

White voted for cloture on the anti

motion to limit debate on the FEPC
bill.
A Republican Senate would see
Senator VandenberR step into the

tons Committee, supplanting Sena-

ator VandenberG voted for cloture

Senator Taft would become the
chairman Of the Finance Com
mittee. He also voted for eloture on
both the anti-pOll tax and the FEPC

and favored a measure without en-

chairman of the House Rules Com
mittee. Both Mccormack and Sab
Rth voted for the anti-poll tax bill,
and Mr.. SABBATH fought to get the
FEPC bill out Of committee SO that
the House might vote on it.
If the Democrats retain control
Of the Senate, Senator Mcclellan,
who Is certain Of reelection, could
continue as president pro tempore
and Senator Alben W. Barley, of

POLITICAL
ROUNDUP
By ARTHUR NAFTALTN


A final burst of oratory this
weekend will wind up the l9l6
election eompRign In Minnesota, and
politicians will turn their attention
to getting out the vote next Tues
day. The sire Of the vote may be
the determining factor IN the three
closely contested Cong ressionAl
contests where election interest IL

large vote 10 generally regarded as
likely 10 favor the Democratic
Farmer-Labor candidates because
labor and the other lower-income
groups tend TO align with the DFL
and when the vote Is light ballotinR
among these groups tends TO fall off
the most. Despite tagging interest
in the campaign, the total stats vote
Is expected to pass the million
mark.
A glance at the i9a4 totals IN the
three crucial districts reveals how
important the size Of the vote may
be In deciding the outcome. In the
Third district, the late William ].
Gallagher, with 1855, Polled less
than 1000 more votes than COP
Richard P. Gale, who got 69,277.

his keynote address, struck out at
the Republican administration for
waste and extravaganza" and Gov
ernor Edward J. Thys hit back with
defense Of the GOP's administra-
ton over the last eight years. Bark
er assaulted the COP iron ore tar
policy a. "disgraeeful," claiming
that $4,000, 900 tons Of ore have
been shipped out tax free. He pro-
posed q flat l0-cent per ton tax,
