Needless to say. he's millionaire and then

OF cattle and hogs. On his game preserve are wilo

At Chicago in 1874 when Byrnes was counted
out as vice presidential candidate Boykn claims he
rallied support behind Sen. John Bankhead and got

claims he led the switch to Truman. That wouo
make Truman his political debtor. Boykin Is chair
man OF the House Committee on Patents. He says
Henry Wallace and of the other liberals around
here want to do away with the u S. patent system
Boykin is against patent law reform. Patent lawyers
all over the country are strong for Boykn.
When the tidelands oil case came up Boykin
lined up with the state attorneys general who are
fighting federal acquisition Of oil and mineral rights
below navigable streams and on the continental

these rights to the states believing title should first

1t is inevitable that the guarded
official information that has come
from Canada with respect to the
leakage OF war secrets should give
spur to speculation. But, in the alb
sence OF fuller information from
authoritative sources, those Americ-
ans who know Canada well will
have full confidence in the ability Of
the Dominion government to handle
the situation with vigor and dis
patch. In fact. there might be some
Americans who would suspect that
given a similar situation south of
the border. there might be far more
hesitation and far less vigor; there
need be no export of sympathy or
moral support across the border.
II may well be that for good and
sufficient reasons the Canadian au-
thorities will never let the full story
be told. This may disappoint those
who like the Oppenheim flavor in
their news. But even those who
learn no more may rest assured that
there will be no lack of vigilance in
Canada.
