AS matter of fact, this Harry
Server ought to be better known
to Americans because his self-edit-

So, in this piece that he wrote
for Human Events" he tells about
"Lefties in Business and he calls
the turn on a bunch of takers

him to come to New York immed-
lately. Gannett was reached on his
yacht on Lake Ontario and flew
to New York in his private plane
for lunch with Aldrich. With him
went Carl Hallenauer of the Bausch
and Lomb Optical Company. Mean
while, Roy Howard promised to
write an editorial in the New York

In other words the Wall Street
boys, not Tom Dewey, made the
first move to entice Hanley out OF
the running. Publisher Gannett in
cidentally would not go along.
Though he lunched with Aldrich
at the Chase Bank, he refused TO
plump for Dewey.
Next chapter in this political
story was told in the Merry-G
Round on September as follows:
"Deweyite pressure on Lit. Gov.
Joe Hanley to withdraw from the
New York gubernatorial race was so
intense Friday night that for a
time Hanley lost the use OF his
one good eye."
In his now famous letter to King
sland Macy telling OF the financial
guarantees made him, Hanley also
tells how he is fearful OF going
blind.
Seventy -four years old, Hanley
has one glass eye while the other
eve is not strong the Merry-Go-
Round continued. Therefore, when
subjected to terrific pressure TO
withdraw in favor of Dewey he
lost his sight completely. On the
Saturday and Sunday following the
visit with Dewey's friends, Hanley
was not able to recognize anyone
except by voice.
ION Monday sufficient rest had
restored his vision. During the
conference with Dewey ard friends
neither Frank Gannett nor Norman
Gould of the Gould Pump Co., were
unable to reach him. 1t was they
who helped to raise the kitty to pay
I'D Hanley's $4,000 debts but even
they could not get to their man
during the crucial conference which
drafted Dewey. Most interesting
fact was that Dewey was anything
but drafted"
Third chapter was the actual
terms of the payroll to Hanley tc
run for the U. S. Senate instead
of Governor. This was published III
the Washington Merry Go-Rounc
September Is, namely, that Hanley
if defeated for the Senate, would
be appointed to the New 4orR
Ihruway Commission at Sl5,0Ot
and also be made vice president OF
an oil company at $4,000 annually
Friends in the Dewey camp have
also promised to repay the S3o,oot
which Kingsland Macy, Franz
Gannett and Norman Gould put up
to pay off Hanley's debts quotec

However, the full story OF Hanley
and Dewey goes back even further
to when Governor Dewey conducted

and Hanley have been friends only

Mendelssohn's Elijah" in the au-
ditorium of the Metropolitan
Baptist Church last night. The
hall was packed to the limit, with
many Standees along the walls
and in the entrances.
Under the artistic direction OF
Warner Lawson. the well-trained
singers gave a meaningful deliv-
cry to one of the most dramatic
oratorios ever written. Their ex-
pressive tonal infections Of the
text seemed to reflect actually the
emotions called forth by the Bibli-
cal incidents of the days when a
part of Israel bowed to Baal.

appeared to be over.
Chief Ranger Frank Hort of
Hawaii National Park said the
rivers of molten rock had formed
huge dikes on both sides of the
main flssure along the southern
slope. Inside these dikes, the lava
puddled into large lakes.
Mr.. Hort said the lakes likely
would cool and form crust soon

of the God-fearing Obadiah was
entrusted to Mr.. Brown, whose
lovely tenor rose to the demands

The unobtrusive directing of Mr.

This New Look in mems
fashions has come about only
through the persistence of girl
friends and wives who've been
demanding more tailoring and
less padding. They claim it's
awful to dance with a guy and
feel nothing but padding under
their left hands. What they want
to feel is muscle.

ROTARY CLUB HEARS
STORY OF CHRISTMAS

"The Christmas story is tn
story of two kings, one old ant
the other young" Working from
this point of departure, when ad
dressing the Laurel Rotary club al
it's Thursday noon meeting, Rev
C. G. Spellman developed an anal
ogy comparing the conflict between
Herod and Jesus to the conflict
between materialism and spiritual
ism.
Herod, used here to symbolic
the secular world, was born into
wealth, and was surrounded by
servants and soldiers who made
his every demand a command.
Jesus, born without fanfare, was
delivered of his mother, the wife
a poor carpenter, rs she lay in
a manger. "One was overshadowed
by the Roman Eagles, the other
by the Dove of Peace. These to
figures, :" Spellman said, Symbol
ize an age-old struggle. Victory
for one is defeat for the other"
christmas" he continued, "to
mean anything to the world, must
be more than glorified romance.
Herod stands for the material, the
secular, and at any given moment
in history it seems that Herod and
his men have had the upper hand.
They rule by fear" He then re-
ferred the late Adolph Hitler, a
modern Herod, and cited his ter
roristic rule, but also pointed out
the spiritual strength that has sur
vived the ruthless attempts to de-
stroy it. Opposed to rule by ter
ror is found the faith of Chris
tendon. Spellman cited as an en-
couraging indication of progress
in the escape from fear the fact
that the churches which a few
years ago taught that the faithful
should fear the Lord now teach
that one should love the Lord.
Indicating the dangers that face
religion, he pointed out that even
Herod will profess religion in or
der to gain a point. "When Herod
would worship Jesus" he added,
Caesar will control God" Fooled
by this, the churches have too long
blessed war. They cannot teach
love and hate at the same time.
at is time for the churches to
get out of the wal business, he
concluding by expressing
the idea that a choice must be
made between two conflicting idea
ologists, and emphasized that the
will determine the future.

Heavy November Layoffs In Industry

Impact of the normal seasonal
decline in employment, particularly
on outdoor projects, was felt at all
Montana labor markets during

throughout the balance of the

less, numerically, than a year ago;
paradoxically, the weather condi-
lions were definitely more severe
