The AAA is hoping, officials said,
that growers would not approve

the loan, they pointed out, is to help
farmers withhold surplus wheat to

ARTHUR B. JENKS, Republican,
who had served 18 months of his
term as representative from New
Hampshire, was unseated by the
house and replaced by Alphonse
Roy, Democrat, who was declared
defeated in the 1936 election. The
vote to oust Jenks was 214 to 122.
When it was announced, all the Re-
publicans, Progressives and Farm-
er-Laborites and some Democrats
marched out in a body as a gesture
of protest.
This action by the house was ap-

dollars for construction of the
world’s largest military plane, and
the Navy department is now ready
to go ahead with the construction of
the monster, which may weigh 50
tons. The original model will cost
upward of $3,000,000.
Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook,
chief of the bureau of aeronautics,
said the new plane would exceed
considerably the 5,000-mile range
needed for a nonstop round trip
from San Francisco to Honolulu.
The plane will be partly armored
and will carry a crew of 10 to 14
men. It is expected to be the fore-
runner of a squadron of 15 or more
in the next few years.

Canton Made a Shambles
TTERLY ignoring emphatic pro-

Great Britain against the bombing
of civilians, the Japanese continued
their daily raids on
the great city of
Canton, southern

squadrons of planes
rained death on the
city ruthlessly, until
it was a veritable
shambles. Probably
as many as 5,000
persons were killed
and the wounded

Sumner merous. The attacks
Welles were directed main-
ly at government buildings, railway
stations and power plants, the pur
pose being to destroy Canton's use
fulness as a gateway for Chinese
war supplies.
In Spain, also, there was no ces-
sation of the air attacks by Franco's
forces on loyalist cities and towns
America's condemnation of the
bombing of civilians was contained
in a statement by Undersecretary of
State Sumner Welles which was is-
sued with the approval of President
Roosevelt. It asserted that the
American public considers such
warfare barbarous and appealed for
an immediate end of the practice in
China and Spain. Britain officially
protested against the bombings and
asked the United States to co-oper-
ate in the formation of a neutral
commission to decide whether the
objectives of Spanish rebel air raids
on loyalist territory have any mili
tary character.
About the same time Secretary of
State Hull in a speech at Nashville,

YRESIDENT ROOSEVELT signed
a bill to force propagandists for
Nazi, Communist and other sb-
called un-American groups in the
United States to register with the
secretary of state. The measure
was drafted on recommendation of
a special congressional committee
inquiring into foreign propaganda
activities in the United States and

The bill was said to be regarded as
far-reaching and important by the

tice B. C. Hilliard
miles to the westward, a son
Justice Hilliard is seeking the Dem-
ocratic nomination for the senate in
Nevada. He is after the scalp of
Sen. Pat McCarran, who has
jumped off of the New Deal band-
wagon when he disagreed with pres-
idential programs. So it has been
decreed that he, too, must go.
The Jowa battle is now over. In
that fight, Harry Hopkins, profes-
sional reliever of destitution, sought
to aid Representative Wearin re-
lieve Sen. Guy Gillette of the Dem-
ocratic nomination for the senate.
The Hopkins outburst, given to
newspaper correspondents here be-
fore the lowa primary was: “If 1
were a voter in Iowa, I would sup-
port Otho Wearin against Gillette.”
That raised plenty of hot winds in
the senate and, since it came on
top of the Pennsylvania primaries
and on top of Son Jimmy Roose-
velt's endorsement of Senator Pep-
per in Florida, it gave a tip-off as
to how far the thing was going.
It was perhaps the Iowa meddling

as of Oklahoma, the great advocate

lion dollars in new silver certifi
cates, has opposition that promises
a bitter fight to the end. The same
is true of Senator Thomas of Utah,
who is confronted with a campaign
of a defensive character. He must
show why he is so strong for the
New Deal to win renomination in

is regarded by many colleagues
in the house as proving him to be a
Democrat of the liberal type, for
he has supported the President on
numerous occasions while voting
against White House dictation when
he felt that he should do so.
The New Dealers have persuaded
Governor Johnstn of South Caro-
lina to run against Sen. ‘Cotton
Smith. At least, it is the as-
sumption that the governor was per-
suaded to enter the race.
There is a fight on in another
southern state also. Sen. Walter F.
George has opposition for the Demo-
cratic nomination. Lawrence Camp,
United States attorney at Atlanta
and a Roosevelt appointee, has filed
for the nomination against Senator
George. The understanding in Wash-
tled on Camp when they found that
not enter the fight because he was
vulnerable on several points. Sena-
tor George, one of the ablest con-
stitutional lawyers in the senate and
long highly regarded in that body,
apparently has a hard fight because
of the likelihood of a divided vote
There are several other candidates
in the field and it has been sug-
gested that the vote may be so
divided as to bring about defeat of
Senator George.
Months ago, of course, Sen. Fred
Van Nuys was marked for “liquida-
tion'" in Indiana because of his ac-
tivity against the President's court
bill. The state machine in Indiana
is completely under the domination
of former Gov. Paul McNutt, who
aspires to the White House, himself,
in 1940, and McNutt is sticking with
the New Dealers.
But to turn to another phase of
the interparty fight, the question of

ly wrote a letter of protest to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, charging among
other things that relief was being
handed only to persons ‘‘ap-
proved’ by the Barkley faction of
the party. From Pennsylvania there
have been many squeals about po-
litical use of relief funds by Senator
Guffey, and in neither case has
there been proof that the charges
are not true. Undoubtedly, if the
WPA workers are being used politi-
cally in s places, they are being
used in many places; it is a condi-
tion that must be expected if the
country is going to turn relief of
destitution over to politicians. They
will fill their gullet first.
