Or, failing that, to bo nominated for vice president Jim thinks ht could win. Frank- Un D. Roosevelt, a little older than his postmaster gen- eral, doesn't think to.

A typical portable camp, above, located now In California, has about ZOO tent platforms which are hauled by track. It also has a first-ai- d and children's clinic built into a trailer,' and 'a trailer which contains U shower baths. There are six of these portable camps In existence. Each camp has a trained nurse and complete sanitary facilities. Camp affairs are handled by a camp council, elected by camp residents. The Farm Security administration also has established 26 permanent camps which take care of 7,000 migrant families. Lower left: A young migrant mother In the door of her "home."

History has a way of repeating itself. In 1924, the Democratic party tore itself to pieces at Madison Square Garden over the religious issue. IT MIGHT HAPPEN In the summer of 1026 the writer was talking to an old friend who happened to be one of William G. McAdoo's lieutenants. "We'll not only nominate the chief. we will elect him two years hence," he said. "What's the use of talking like that with all the hate you stirred up at Madison Square Garden?" I retorted. "You saw hates there that had been engendered at Baltimore, 12 years earlier, and this present one has religion in it You won't get rid of it for a long time. so you can't win for a long time." The McAdoo man stared off In the distance for a period of minutes. "I think you are right." ho Anally said.

If they do throw him downstairs at Chicago, which seems probable, they may have to turn to him in 1944. Stranger things have happened. IT'S REALLY UNIMPORTANT Demitasse storms is the proper description of the congressional inquiries into the selling of airplanes made In the United States to the allies.

The most partisan of President must admit that little evidence can be brought against the President's contention that U this country is to build up a formidable aircraft production, it must be permitted to produce airplanes good enough so that the al lies will buy them! It can not be denied, of course, that the administration is not dis pleased over the fact that; under our amended neutrality law, all the benefit goes to the allies. We will sell planes or 'munitions or ships to any belligerent if that belligerent will come and get them, paying cash. The fact that only the allies can come and get them is a fortunate circumstance about which the administration is pleased. But technically the President's argument would be just as defensi ble, and Just as true, if it were Germany that controlled the seas, and were therefore the only belligerent able to come and get them.
