WASHINGTON, There were three big reason why President Roosevelt reluctantly called congress into special session at this time, Instead of postponing the call until much later, as ha bad hoped. The three reasons. In the order named, were Russia, Italy, and a group of senators Including notably William E. Borah at Idaho, Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan and Arthur Capper of Kansas.

This last is vital because the British and French governments are counting on eventual victory through strangulation more than military triumphs. The biggest single factor which could be brought to play on both Russia and Italy, obviously, would be some convincing evidence that, in the long run, Germany must certainly be defeated. Anything which convinced either Stalin or Mussolini of that would be sure to keep Stalin neutral, and to induce Mussolini to play along with London and Paris. Obviously, also, a very potent factor in convincing Stalin and Mussolini of thia would be a forceful demonstration that Aha United States was so strongly on the side of Britain and France that it would take only a little push to bring this country into the war on their side.

For instance, a dissertation cm the notion that a man must come from a big, pivotal state in order to have a chance. The Bridges press agents riddle this hoary political maxim very effectively. They are perfectly right that state pride, on which politicians count so much, functions only spasmodically when it comes to delivering electoral votes. The Bridges press agents fail to mention it, but it actually did deliver electoral votes if one goes back to 1896. In that year the Democratic national convention defied the big pivotal state notion and named Roosevelt Dreaded Idea of William Jennings Bryan as its candidate.

And now that Ive told you the plot of todays little drama, let's bring in Herman Wallin and on with the show. Today, Herman is a radio operator on the S. S.

American rail-roads have been offered loans for equipment repair programs at special low interest rates by Jesse Jones, federal loan administrator.

You knew they dont have any open lights on the top deck of a ship because they interfere with the vision of the officer on watch up aa the bridge.

Usually he weald start walking from the ladder in a atraight line, counting eat the number of taps it required to get to hie door. Bat on thia particular night he paused half way la hia conne and looked back. Lots wife was turned into a pillar of salt for stopping and looking back. Herman just sort of lost his bearings, but that was almost as bad. When he started out again he was going the wrong way in the dark. He was still counting steps when, all of a sudden he went through an open space between two boat davits and walked overboard. sea-goin- And Then Came the Ten Terrible Seconds.
