Fishing Information.
All seven of my secretaries being
in the hospital with beri-beri, I
haven't had the time to answer all
the people who have written me
about Marco Island and the great
fishing to be enjoyed there. For
those who want to 60 there, or who
seek information about the place,
here is the address: Capt. Jack Lev
ins, Marco Lodge, Marco Island, Fla.
I am starting a round-the-world
trip in a few days and to show my
appreciation of the readers who
have stuck with me through thick
and thin thick-head columns and
thin ideas, I aim to send each of
them a white elephant from Siam,
suitable for yard browsing, or knock
ing your head off with his trunk
in a moment of elephantine anger.
The elephants will be sent airmail
express collect. This will make each
elephant cost my readers about
S. 900 apiece. This would be ex-
pensive for a pair of shoes but is
fairly cheap for white elephant.
It is a wonder to me that Earl
Mack has not long ago thrown his
father, Connie Mack, off the Brook
lyn Bridge IN the dead of night.
Earl is now nearing so and has
wanted to manage the Philadelphia
Athletics for at least 40 years. but
Mr. Mack, ST., who Is five years
older than the oldest redwood tree,
gains new vitality each year and
continues to manage the Athletics.
If and when Earl ever gets the job
of managing that team the chances
are that he will have to direct the
activities Of the players from wheel
chair while wearing an oxygen tent
for a bonnet. It is Mr.. Mack, sr.'s
aim, I understand, to be present to
dig up the time capsule that was
planted at the Worlds Fair which is
not to be touched for $500 years.
Going to the Dogs.
A new dog track has been opened
in my home town and I have been
flooded with requests asking how to
pick winning dogs. There is only
one way, as have said many times
before, and that is to select the dog

saving prestige can be fatal to the
defender of a surrounded city"
The African stronghold, accord
ing to these propagandists, had to
be surrendered in spite of shouts
from London that I'VE will stay in
Tobruk." The result was more loss
to Britain's prestige than to its
military forces.
"The same thing applies TO the
American and British in Berlin" J"
say the propagandists, who while
shouting that they will stay here as
long as they wish should now be
preparing the evacuation Of their
military and civilian personnel
In their psychological warfare the
Russians warn that all the indica-
tions Of strength given by the
will not bluff
them, but only make things worse
for the western nations. Rear
guard actions usually are accom-
panied by propaganda about sue
cessful counterattacks, one success
full counterattack following the
other, all the way from Stalingrad
to Berlin"
Tense Atmosphere.
These thoughts instilled into the
minds of Berliners by the Russians
with the obvious expectation that
they would affect also the Western
Allied commanders, are intended to
show that Berlin is position that
the Western Powers have held too
long," and the more they realize
that It has become untenable. the
more loudly they proclaim: 1--WE
stay in Berlin"
While the American and British
commanders are accustomed to the
barrage of propaganda from their
erstwhile ally, there is an atmos-
phere of tenseness and suspense,
according to confidential reports
from Berlin, due to the fact that
nobody can say for certain what
the Russians may do next.
No open challenge with military
force is expected in the next few
weeks. But rumors are being spread
in the western zones that after the
crops have been harvested in the
U. S. S. r. and the satellite nations,
the Soviet high command may de-
eide to take action which would
confirm the analogy now being
drawn between Stalingrad and To-
bruk and the Western Allied posi-
fioy, in per1in

middle-class youth, and dissatisfied
racial minorities.
1t is difficult to attempt to gauge
the mentality of a nation. But it
seems to me that the people as
whole are skeptical, apathetic and
disillusioned. We are living in
great prosperity, but there is skep-
ticism that it will last. The people
back the European recovery plan,
lbut doubt whether it will work. They
loathe the Communists and Stain,
but are afraid of war.
Image Tarnished.
Nothing, perhaps, has added
more to disillusionment than the
of the late President
Roosevelt. More people trusted and
believed in him than probably have
ever trusted and believed in any
President. But the last three years,
in which we have seen the fruits
of Casablanca, Quebec, Teheran and
Yalta, without the personality who
always seemed able to turn defeats
into victories, have tarnished the
image.
There also is widespread feel
ing that national interests are be-
ing made subject to the interests of
highly organized articulate groups.
This is true of the Palestine sit
uation. Outside New York City I
have been surprised, for instance,
by the vehemence of sudden out
breaks against our quick recogni-
ton of Israel. The tenor of all of
them is: What have we, as a Ma
ton, to gain by embroiling ourselves
in the Middle East? Look what
happened to the British! We ought
not to take sides, since, as Ma
ton. we have nothing at stake"
Then, again, despite anti-Com-
munist feeling, there is no enthu-
siasm for our China policy, while
a way to get certain applause on
any lecture platform is to attack
our policy in Greece. The country
seems to this observer, at least. to
be of curiously divided mind. It is
less isolationist than in its whole
history, but more antialien than
normally.
All this could be attributed to
postwar letdown if it were not &C
companied by something like prewar
fears, complicated py the fact that
the country wants leadership-and
is skeptical of all proposed leaders.

his present job close to the throne;
when it is ended he will return to
the private practice he left in New
York to join President Truman.
The only career possibility in the
department, Undersecretary Morse,
chose instead the $50, ,000-a-year di-
rector-generalship of the Inter-
national Labor Organization. As
sistant Secretary Gibson has been
too deeply involved in CIO in-flght-
ing to be an acceptable choice and
he lacks the national stature so
important to the President at this
time.
Prestige Now Vital.
Anv Presidents cabinet is doubly
important to him at campaign time.
Negatively, they are fair game Tor
partisan attack. Affirmatively, their
prestige, their campaigning abilities,
their political standing within their
own States or regions, can mean
anything to him. Probably the best
blow struck at Wendell Willkie in
1910 was the then Secretary of In
terror Ickes' gibe: THE barefoot
boy from Wall Street"
In this, as in his other predica-
ments, President Truman's prob
lens are painfully obvious. His
cabinet, in some respects abler than
his predecessors, is virtually no use
to him in Notwithstanding he will
be renominated and he does assume
twill certainly be one OF the
hardest fights any President has
ever had to wage.
Secretary of State Marshall can
hardly take a prominent part in
view of the bipartisan foreign
policy, even If he were willing and

suited to it. National Defense
Secretary Forrestal is violently un-
popular in vital territory because
mis- view of what constitutes national
security made him in effect pro-
Arab.
Attorney General Clark, young
and vigorous, can be useful but he
will be coming under bitter, personal
attack during the summer by the
Ferguson Investigating Committee
for his role in the Kansas City vote
fraud cases and possibly other
phases of his work. Committee in
|vestigators have been combing the
Justice Department files and their
expressions are, to understate the
matter, complacent.
Secretary of the Interior Krug can
serve in the West If his health per-
mits. The best campaigner of them
all, Clinton P. Anderson, resigned
as Secretary Of Agriculture to cam
paign for himself for the Senate
from New Mexico. Averell Harri-
man, who would have been helpful
in business quarters, has gone
abroad from Commerce to ECA.
Realities Stunned.
In filling the Anderson Hartman
vacancies as when he nominated q
successor to his old campaign man
ager, Robert E. Hannegan, to the
Post Office, the President took no
account of political realities. Like
his intimate friend, Secretary Of the
Treasury Snyder, the present Post
master General Jesse Donaldson, a
career man, Agriculture Secretary
Brannan and Commerce Secretary
Sawyer are not effective cam
paigners nor do they swing political
weight at home. Secretary Sawyer
is wealthy and made large contri-
button to the Presidents past cam
paign; he can repeat that helpful
gesture, of course.
The new appointment Is the more
vital as the President has gone all
out for labor on his trip West. Yet
labor's own quarrels make their
ranks unsuitable for Secretary, even
to them. A CIO suggestion: The
top campaigner of them all, head of
the biggest union (autoworkers), a
symbol of labor's successful drive to
purge itself of Communists, is red
headed Walter Reuther. Mr..
Reuther is currently a sympathetic
figure as the victim of what seems
to have been attempted political
assassination. He is tepid toward
Mr.. Truman. But If he'd go, he
could get labor to the polls in NO

people do not come of themselves.
Editors Note: This column
was written before the Presidents
visit to Los Angeles)
Yet there is every indication that
he will be nominated simply be-
cause the Democratic Party has 20
other candidate.
But there is no great popular
swing toward the Republicans: Their
convention is opening without a
single candidate around whom the
party majority will rally, and with
out one who commands wide popu-
lar appeal.
Harold Stassen, some months ago,
seemed to possess many OF the
qualities of a second Wendell Will
kie. But his best friends admit to-
day that there is no grass-roots
movement behind him comparable
to the one that swept MIR. Willkie
into the nomination against the
Republican machine.
Taft Able but Not Popular.
Senator Taft, the ablest OF the
candidates, is not popu-
lar. He is damned with faint praise
by his supporters and most un-
fairly attacked by his opponents,
organized labor.
Gov. Dewey suffers from having
run once and been defeated. Apart
from the narrow numbers of his
personal adherents, I fail 10 discern
any enthusiasm for him in the
country as a whole.
Senator Vandenberg is universally
But because he is COM
mitted to the bipartisan foreign
policy, and has been a liaison be-

The Republican convention is,
threatened with stale
mate; and with producing a candi-
date who probably will win, but
commanding popular, en-

Under these conditions a third
party movement should have a bet

TEUTSCH CHURCH

The Church School of Teutsch
Memorial Lutheran Chuch will
have it's Promotion and Rally
Day on Sept. 20, at the regular
Church School hour of 10 a. m. A

our new Church School year with
1000 attendance.
Election of officers was held

day, Sept. 9TH. and the following
were elected: Mr.. Alfred Buehner
Superintendent; Mr.. John Auner,
Asst. Superintendent Miss Erna

The church school has started
a Church Library which offers to
our church members some out
standing books which should help
us all to have fuller and richer
life. Those book swill be avail
able to one and all under Ii
brary system, without cost. There
is one problem in connection with
this library. We have no plac e
to keep the books. If anyone has
an old bookcase of cabinett OF
some kind which could be used it
would be greatly appreciated.
On Sunday, Oct. II, at the Yes

the past twenty-five years. This
is the first time anything like this
