Lewis, C. I. O. chief, bestowed a tacit brow of Democratic Senblessing on the weather-beateator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, a lot of people thought Wheelers political goose was cooked. Observers are also reasonably convinced that the mouthful of epithets the C.I.O. boss threw at Vice President Garner last summer and the recent repudiation of President Roosevelt have injured neither victim that, instead, the political prestige of both Garner and Roosevelt was thereby enhanced. Presidential candidates and jotential candidates are almost openly expressing the hope that Lewis smile will not fad upon them. They prefer his wrath. And they are not much more enthusiastic about receiving the benediction of unsmiling William Green, A. F. of L. head. n alPIir 'I hyH " The rank and file in the labor movement should examine this condition and ask itself why such a paradox exists on the political scene today. It isnt that candidates scorn the support of labor. The labor vote the UN-- i DIVIDED labor vote is a handy commodity to carry in ones pocket in any election. The difficulty is that none of the candidates can feel certain that either Mr. Lewis or Mr. Green represents the labor vote.- There is no assurance that either labor leader holds the full confidence of his own union members. Wide ' evidence of dissatisfaction among the rank and file in both units, based largely on the widening breach in the general labor movement, is visible today. n Briefly, union men are getting tired of fed between are with the feud their quarrels. They up leaders a fight that has constantly become more personal and has lost nearly all vestiges of principle. In many communities, C. I. O. and A. F. of L. unionists have al- ready brushed aside the dispute and are working hand in hand. The Rev. John P. Boland, chairman of the New York State Labor Relations Board, declared recently, at Ford-haUniversity, that it is not the employer whom labor fears so much as the more destructive enemy, the enemy n from within its ranks quarrels.

The;r affiliation is pretty evenly divided between the C. I. O. and the A. F. of il Labor has a genuine right to be interested in politics and to take an active participation in it. As a solid body, striving together toward a common objective, labor has tremendous political power. Eight million solid votes are enough to swing a presidential electi jn. Broken into bits or divided in half, the labor vote means almost nothing. If the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L. place their support with opposing candidates, the strength of each group cancels itself against the other. ' It becomes increasingly clear that the mass of labor must soon take a hand in the battle. Unless some order is wrought out of the present chaos, labors gains amount to empty boasts and its future remains a nonentity. HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured beast of burden.

And that goes too for any boost in the $45,000,000,000. national debt limit so wistfully by suggested Secretary Morgenthau. Democratic and Republican leaders have had a private meeting of minds on both propositions and agreed among themselves to do nothing about either. With a hot national election in the offing, the boys have no stomach for soaking the taxpayer either directly or indirectly and they intend to play it safe by doing nothing. Their plan is to prune appropriations sufficiently to keep just within the $45,000,000,000 debt limit' and then call it a day. What hap- pens next year they are going to leave for the new Congress and Administration to worry about. They are out to save their own scalps in 1940. SENATOR MICKEY During his recent visit to the nation's capital in honor of the President's birthday, youthful screen Mickey Rooney took a side trip to Baltimore, traveling under police escort. With him went Miss Bertha Joseph, vivacious secretary of Senator George Radcliffe of Maryland. In the course of their conversation Miss Joseph remarked: Mickey, why dont you run for the Senate? Mickey said nothing, ap-e- d (o be thinking the matter over. maybe Finally he said: "Uh-huyo got something there. I have Dejn thinking about that carefully and maybe 1 will.

AGRICULTURAL HANG04 EKr Henry Wallace was reading a statement in his press conference, warning the country against expecting the war to be a boon to agriculture. He paused, looked at his audience of newsmen, and threw in a figure of speech which he said would be understood by many reporters, but not by many farmers. In this war, agriculture is likely to have a hangover without the spree beforehand."

BARBS I) Out of a Sunday school class that yesterday came the conclusion of a social success and happiness civilization implies technological each member of that civilizaof otners, consider the tion rights t and practice good will. Leader of the class was Professor C. E. McClellan of the coldepartment. He lege education drpw some discussion with the question: Is individual goodness, or morality, greater than national morality? He inferred a belief that ethics and morals of individuals throughout the world are generally on a higher plane than ethics and morals of nations. For instance, he contended, few people would think of storing great supplies of arms and ammunition in their basement for the puipose of crossing their neighbor's fence and forcefully taking his possessions. Yet, that is what nations are doing today. It was argued that perhaps the reason individuals put on better behavior than nations, is that there is more pressuie on individuals social and economic pressure. Few dare go against social laws, at least openly, because they would immediately draw the scorn of society. And few can be successful and hapBut py without social approval. entire nations care little what isnt Hitler fellow nations think. particularly mindful of ofwhat his neighboring nations think Czech-lanrampages into Poland, does notd and Austria. He care if they wag a finger at him and accuse him of stealth, rape and injustice. If national morality is to be put on a higher plane, Individual morality or goodness must also rise. People must do right ethicallyto and do morally because they wish they are right, and not because forced to by social or moral law. sucThey must recognize that thesocial cess of an Interdependent order depends on the willingness of all to recognize and consider the rights of others. During the past 200 years the world has experienced great progress along scientific lines. Industrial and technological development has proceeded at breakneck pace. It has been so fast, in fact, thu. moral and ethical development has been unable to maifitain the stride, and the world today seems terribly maladjusted. Quoting from Arthur Holly Compton: a uere must be moral growth, as well as intellectual and scientific is aldevelopment, or destructionachieve-menL most as likely to follow as Either people will learn to live will perish together or civilizationearth.

Howell, commander of the United Confederate Veterans, tried his hand at drawing the President out on the third-terissue, but with no better lurk than the rest. Accompanied by Representative John W. Flannagan of Virginia, the Dixie hero visited the President at the White House. After telling Roosevelt he had voted for him twice, Howeil added, And nothing would make me happier than to make it three in a row this year The President laughed jovially and commended the General on his party loyalty.

That vetoing was done in such a way as to gne McNutt about 83 notable a ship as an official of cabinet rank ever got from a president. ICKES PLAYS LLADOFF MAN The fun began a couple of months ago, when Secretary of the Interior Ickcs announced at a press conference that McNutt was no liberal and that the real New Dealers would never rally behind his banner. Since it was known that the inner circle'1 group here dis- likes McNutt intensely, and since Cls was followed by strong hints from the White House that Secretary of State Hull was tne favored candidate, this almost (though not quite) added up to definite repudiation of McNutt by FDR. o ar Then the Wagner health program was deflated by the president, and a modest little bospitai-buildin- g scheme was put up in its plate. This was a hard pill for Senator Wagner, but it was equally tough for McNutt, who was building high hopes for this program. Shortly after that it became known that Internal lie venue agents were looking into the Income tax affairs of McNutt ami his close political associates in Indiana. As a matter of fact, evidence that was brought to the treasury department left the department no choice but to make an Investithere were l gation; nevertheless, plenty of people here to interpret the action as an administration-rpproveattempt to smear McNutt. McNlTT MADE McBLTT OF NAME JOKE There were little things, too, things that don t get into the ' papers, but that indicate that someone in Washington is out to damage the man. . . like the banquet of the supper club a few j 1 days ago, where all the supposed or avowed candidates were pres- - j ent and were subjected to razing The razzing was j and harmless for everybody ex- cept McNutt, who had to sit and smile while an orator poked fun j at his name and begged the crowd f to think how ridiculous Washing- ton and Lincoln would have been a if they had had to carry that name around.

It wasn't the fact that the president vetoed this bill, which would have turned back to Ohio some In old age $1,338,000 pensior money withheld two years agcl during the administration's row with Governor Davey; it was the way he left McNutt out on a limb McNutt approved the bill, talked with Roosevelt about it, and( thought all along that Roosevelt, approved It too. Not until the moment the veto message became know that pablic did McNutt Roosevelt had rejected his advice and taken, instead, the advice of a man technically McNutt's subordinate Chairman Arthur J.t Altmeycr of the Social Security Board.

Logan High Library Receives New Books Recently one hundred and thirty new books were added to the library of the Logan Senior high school. The library already contains five thousand two hundred books, an unusually large number for a school of 750 students. These books have been chosen with the greatest of care. First, each teacher made a list of books he would prefer for his department; second, the heads of each department called a meeting and eliminated some of these books because they would not be a benefit to the whole school. They were then sent to Mrs. Pack, librarian, and George S. Bates, principal, for their approval. Some of the more popular fiction books which have just arrived are: Northwest Passage, by Kenneth Roberts; Listen! The Wind, by Anne Morrow Lindberg; Hell On Ice, by Commander Edward Ells-berg. Although students are sometimes accused of reading only fiction, the Logrn Senior high school library has many educational books that are more interesting than fiction to many students. Some of these are: Coat and Suit Making, by Anderson: Mrs. Consumers Dollar, by Erkel; Outlines For Textile Study, American Bird Biby Phelps; ography, by Allen; Fortunes In Formulas, by Hiscox; Story of Musical Instruments, by Schwartz; Nostrums and Quackery, by Simmons; You and Heredity, by Schienfield. and American Glass, Northend. by Many biographies of famous people have also been received. These books are among the most educational. as well as interesting, of any books. Some of the most interesting of these are; I Wanted To Be an Atcress, by Kathnne Cornell; Sam Houston, by Open Marquis James; Edison's Door, by Tate; Napoleon, by LudA Edna Peculiar Treasure, by wig; Fcrhcr, and Fiivcr King, by hour.
