 line harder for labor than Senator
 Claude Pepper of Florida, yet the CIO sat on the sidelines liStlessly
 watching him campaign Other Senators may remember that list lessness next time labor needs a friend on the Senate floor.
 There's Chip Robert of Georgia over there in the lobby of the Warwick Hotel, just back from Singapore where he air-expressed snake to his wife Evie. Evie used to fancy herself a snake charmers. Now she charms Demo- crats. By the time the snake ar rived in Washington, however, and had a chance to be charmed by Evie it was almost dead Air sickness Says Chip: Tt you have any dangerous snakes around give em an airplane ride. It's the best way to kill them" Chip looks healthier now that he doesn't have to raise money for the Demo- crats. fHe used to be Demo- cratic treasurer) So does George Killion, who succeeded him . .

 ed to ante up half a million, and il they don't come through it'll be bad, for almost nobody else will. Everybody love Senator Dear Alben" Barkley-except Harry Tru- man. And it's mutual. The White
 House let it be known it wasn't enthusiastic about a 70-year old man as running mate and, natural ly, when this got back to Alben,
 he was unified . By this time, ! however. the press already had his keynote speech praising Truman so he had to go through with it.
 Most vigorous opponents of able Senator O'Mahoney to be Vice President were Ed Flynn and How

him off, but Sergeant Snyder was too smart. He flashed police permit.
 The late beloved Josephus Dam iels was so right. It takes big leader, a great man, to weld to- gether the heterogeneous, warning faction of the Democratic Party. They're too individualist, in many respects so American. They're far too happy scrapping Also, Of course, some of them have got old and fat and complacent. No long CT are they the young, vigorous, fighting party of Franklin Roose- velt The days when new, fresh, invigorating youngsters would come to Washington and work for almost nothing just for the joy of helping their country are over Yet that doesn't de- tract from the great job they once did The Republicans can howl their heads off about the New Deal. but they'll never dare re- peal the New Deal laws-the SEC, Social Security REA, old-age pen- sions, soil-erosion, support for farm prices Those were days of never ending battling for the un- derdog The Democratic Party today is still the champion of the underdog only some of them are now so tired, so uninspired, so old And it takes brass-lunged youngsters like Monty Snyder, the ex-mess sergeant, to keep remind ing them that what this country needs is leadership. And l hope he keeps on telling them.

CAKE FROM SWEDEN

A conical cake, "Spettakaka,
 which would probably remind many Scandinavians of their homeland
 was a birthday present from Swed- en to Nels Nelson, Hoquiam retired contractor, Myrtle E. Wilson of Juneau said today. Nelson, who was in partnership with hel father, P. L. Granstrom, in former years, received the cake on his 10th birthday recently. It took only ten days for it to arrive from Sweden. This type cake is baked over an open fire with dough added as it bakes. It takes 50 eggs.

time, so did Franklin, Jr. Mrs. Roosevelt is sour on Truman, but has been too polite to say so In brief. this is the end-the end of the Roosevelt era, the winning era for the Democrats. They still make speeches about him, and ln their hearts they know they can't win without him.
 EisenhCwer's old mess sergeant, Marty Snyder, out in front of the Bellevue -Stratford yelling for his hero. His sound truck could be heard a block away. Sounded like the sound truck that kept parading the streets of Philadelphia for Bob Taft right up to the last Republican ballot Democratic Conventions are usually more fun than Republican They shout more thump you on the back harder, sing louder You notice it when they sing The Star-Spangled Banner The Republicans move their lips The Democrats fill up their chests and put some oomph in 1t
 Finally, the Dems fight more
 In other words, they're individual ists-hard- singing, hard-drinking hard fighting individualists. Ano it takes big man. a tough man to ride herd on them.
 Contrasts between l944 and l94s Most famous phrase of the l944 campaign was Clear it with Sid ney." which made Jimmy Byrnes SC boiling mad The phase came from Rocsevelts alleged remark when Jimmy wanted to be his vice. presidential running mate and FDR is supposed to have advised him to clear it with Sidney Hillman then head of the CIO-PAC
 Byrnes didn't clear it, and was not nominated, which was a tragedy because the country would have been immeasurably better off
 Today Jimmy is down in South Carolina, where he has new farm with lot of trees to clear away Sidney Hillman is dead; and labor which once played such role at Democratic Conventions. doesn't seem to be around any more Phil Murray is sitting it out at Pittsburgh, apparently waiting fol divine guidance Dan Tobin, who for years helped write Democratic platforms, this year refused to be a delegate Long-range obser- yers around the Convention Hobbies will tell you that labor has io'

Everything is nearly set for the political campaign and the November election.
 President Harry S. Truman has been nominated to succeed himself and Senator Alben Barkley has been nominated to be Vice. President by the Demo- cratic National Convention delegates.
 Previously, the Republican National Convention nominated Gov Dewey and Gov Warren to head the ticket in opposition.

Smithsonian Finds II
Moneton Indian Sites

West virginia's New River valley,
where the little known Moneton
Indians frequently got the hotfoot
from other tribes, is revealing new
lore to Smithsonian Institution
archeologists. Q
Ralph s. Solecki, Of the institu-
tons river basin surveys staff,
working with National Park Serv-
ice and the Army Corps of En-
gineers, has found A Indian sites
In the area soon to be flooded by
waters Of the Bluestone Reservoir.
The dam is presently under con-
struction and will begin to I'M
pound water by the end OF this
year.
Almost unknown archeologically,
the district between Hinton, w. Va,

and Narrows, Va, also is the site
Of the "Mason-Dixon" line Of the
Eastern Indians-the border be-
tween the Iroquois to the north and
the Cherokee to the south.
In 1911, the Smithsonian says
the Moneton Indians, q Sioux tribe
were living in the New River area
Little is known about them q
Smithsonian release says, but 1t IL
not likely they tarried there long,
because they undoubtedly were SUBJ
jected to pressure from other tribes
and from the encroaching Colonial
settlements farther east"
The AZ Indian sites found by Mr.
Solecki consisted Of village and
camp remains, several earth and
rock mounds, shelters and the loca-
tions Of four forts built by white
settlers.

WIN STREAK OF MACkME:u
 IS NOW TEN
By JACK HAND

Connie Maek's collection of draf- tees and hand-me downs is show ing up the rich major league clubs with a l0-game win streak. His Philadelphia As are upholding the cid theory that you can't buy a pennant.
 While Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red SoX was writing checks for some S3500O0, MT Mack was busy scanning the draft lists. By the stu dious avoidance of any large out lay Of cash, the venerable old gen. tleman has acquired quite a ball clut.
 And they've been winning quite handily, too, although they did have to struggle to achieve an 8-4 victory over the St. Louis Browns last night. Three hits and four walks added up to six runs for Philadel- phia in the second inning.
 Rain washed out the Yankee Sta dium meeting of Cleveland and New York and the Tanks leading 3-1 in the home half of the fourth. The postponement nullified a three-run hcmer by Joe DiMaggio.
 Detroit staged two zig innings to down Washington, 14-9
 Bobby Doerr's thee-run homer in the lcth inning enabled Boston to grab 6-5 win from Chicago in dra- matic fashion. Cot Deal, who pitched to only two batters, picked up his first major league win.
 Rain idled half the National League.
 Blk Donnelly of the Phils handed the Pirates their first shutout of the year so, allowing only three hits and the Cincinnati Reds bowed to Brooklyn, 9-7, in a night game.

Holder Has
 Great Night
 For Himself
By The Associated Press)

By The Associated PresS)
 It was Brooks Holder night al Wrigley Field when Oakland whip ped Los Angeles last night. There were no advance preparations, no speeches, but Brooks decided to have a night-and what a night!
 The veteran outfielder just about single -handedly wen the ball game. The final score was to 3. Brooks came to bat in the fifth inning with the Angels trailing 20.
 He caught one of Walt Lan- franconi's hooks and slammed it out of Wrigley Field, scoring Gene Lillard, Lloyd Christopher and Da- mon Hayes ahead of him.
 The Angels dropped three full games behind San Francisco be- cause the Seals pinned Hollywood's shoulders to the mat again in San Francisco, to 3, in 10 innings.
 San Diego finished strong ill late innings to nip Portland, 5-4. With the count 3-1 for Portland San Diego pulled even on Vince Shupe's 360. foot homer over the right fence in the eighth.
 Rain at Seattle prevented the Seattle-Saeramento game.
