More than $7,000 of her money went to FDB. Also, it was recalled how Mrs. Mrs. Milo Clayton telephoned Perkins during the row between Jesse Jones and Clayton on one side and Vice President Wallace and Milo Perkins of the BEW on the other. 'Tell your husband," Mrs. Clayton said, to keep up the fight against my husband. I kpow your husband is absolutely right. Mrs. Clay, on, incidentally, went to a little Kentucky college, Marvin at Clinton, Ky., with Senator Alben Barkley. The two became Mrs. Clayton, great friends. though married to one of the wealthiest men in America, has been a New Dealer for a long lime. CZAR OF POST-WA- R FACTORIES As demobilization director. Clayton would decide whether the huge government-owne- d airplane, munitions and other factories built at the taxpavers expense with Jesse Jones' RFC loans should be turned over to private industry, dismantled. ( or held by the government. This is one of the most important problems confronting postwar America. Those who have worked with former Liberty Leaguer Clayton have no illusions as to where he would stand. Southern Congressmen recall that, when the AAA upped the price of U. S. cotton, Clayton's giant cotton firm shipped seed, farm machinery and to Brazil, opened her up as i. this countrys greatest cotton As a result, Brazil was actually shipping cotton to New Orleans in competition with the American cotton fanner. In the army, it is recalled that, after Fcarl Harbor, Clayton as a director of RFC's Defense Supplies Corporation, delayed and delayed the purchase of quinine from the Dutch East Indies, until one day before the Japs seized Batavia. Then too late- - he ordered the entire Dutch crop None of the older was ever delivered.

I dont believe the government has told the worst, said Lieut. Tommy Harmon, speaking of the Jap atrocities. I dont think the Americans could stomach it if they knew the whole truth. We hope Lieut. Harmon is wrong. He may not have lived upon this earth long enough to know that his country is made up of people who demand the truth, and who have a government under which that demand can usually be met. We hope we have heard the whole truth. But if we havent, we can take it all of it, and new. We always have. Merry-Go-Rou- earth, and the growing gtain, and the wild game. He was a hospitable man who offered the best he had in happiness. There were many who enjoyed breaking bread with him. He was a man to whom church and divine worship were a part of life. His home was a refuge and a haven of peace and joy. He left it with regret, he returned to it as to a heaven on earth. So, I concluded, that no glimpses we have of the great warrior and statesman across the years are more intimate, none more charming than those of Washington the husband, the devoted father of children not his own, the host, the home lover.

O This fall, Americans must elect a president. It is a duty as fateful aa any that voters have ever had to dicharge, and it is not a duty to be approfvehed with indifference. It would be folly for any man this early to contend that a Republican president must he elected, or a Democratic president must be elected. The men who will be chosen to run must be measured; their qualifications must be carefully inventoried. What yardstick may be used for measurement? O- - But first, may I emphasize the crucial importance of the tasks that the next President must face. Yesterday, by way of a series of questions, it was inferred that postwar tasks may be more tremendous even than winning the war. How these tasks are performed depends, of course, upon our wisdom in the choice of a man to perform thi ni. In the words spoken by Daniel Webster 112 years ago today, on the centennial anniversary of the birth of George Washington, is s yardstick for measuring our presidential candidates: In the first piece, all his measures were right in their intent. To commanding talents and to success, he added a disregard of self, a spotlcssnesH of motive, a steady submission to every public und private duty, which threw torever into the shade the w'hole crowd of vulgar great. The object of his regard was the whole country. No part of it was enough to fill his enlarged patriotism. His love of glory, so far ai that may be supposed to have influenced him at all, spurned everything short of general approbation. It would have been nothing to him that his partisans or Ins favorites outnumbered, or outvoted, or outmanaged, or cut clamored those of their leaders. Tits principles it was to act right, and to trust the people for support; his principle it was not to follow the lead of sinister and selfish ends, noi to rely on the little arts of party deelusion to obtain public sanction for such a course. Bom for his country and mankind, he did not give up to party what was meant for mankind." d Win-the-W- ar post-wa- Questions Answers An Q-Ii- ab n. do a jc tory.
