TOLahlngton, August Ifl.—Not
since the bitter debate over the
Fiesident’s Supreme Court plan
has Congress witnessed such
ieiegram* on this ’ 0rt)posai than
on anything else wWeh has been
before Congress in years. Nobody,
of course, can tabula*® total
on either side, but sereral mem
bers of both houset liaTe reported
that the great inanity of objec
tions to conscription which they
have received have come from
womr.n and wdmen’s organiza
tions.

Senate by an overwhelming ma

xoreshadowing not only the pass
age of this measure by the House
of Representatives, but also the
acceptance by both Houses of the
selective compulsory training bill.
On no highly controversial
measure in this Congress has the
division of opinion been an such

keeping the closest tab on mem

opponents of the concription bill
what the “gobs” In the Navy start
at. No one seems to know why
Navy men get more than Army
men, but the disparity is apparent
and may be adjusted.
Secretary of War Stimson gave
Capitol Hill quite a shock when he
reported to a Congressional com
mittee that out of the 4,000 fight
ing planes for which Congress ap
propriated money two months ago,
contracts had been let for only 33
planes. The fault was not with
the Army nor with the Council on
National Defense, he said, but
with Congress for imposing tax

Investment in useless buildings
after the emergency is over.
Manufacturers, he said, were ready
to go ahead without consideration
of great material profit, but they
should be protected against cer
tain loss.
The President has insisted that
the whole question of plant de
preciation shall be considered in
connection^ only with new excess
profit legislation, and that is like
ly to take a lot of time.
More Obstacles
Another obstacle has appeared
in the demand from organized
groups representing several trans-
Mississippi states that new arma
ment plants should be located in
their region instead of all going to
existing manufacturing centers.
The Army policy has been for a
long time that munitions manu
facture should be centered inland,
so far as possible, considering
transportation facilities and ac-
ers throughout the South as well
as all over the nation, follows:
To All Plant Managers:
It has occurred to me that some
of our employees may be concern
'd as to the effect that military
or naval service will have upon
their status with the Claussen
organization.
Please inform all of our people
immediately that this company
will give to all of its employees a
position equivalent to or better
than that which such employee
now has upon return from service
for the period of the emergency
in the military or naval forces of
the United States. This is to ap
ply to all those who are in the
National Guard or the various
units of the Reserve Corps or who
enlist or are conscripted into any
branch of the army or navy.
It is my wish that the entire
organization, both individually
and collectively, cooperate with
the national and local govern
ment to the fullest extent in all
plans which may be initiated for
cess to supplies and raw materials,. defense of this country a-
as well as skilled labor. The fai- gainst possible enemies from with-
jection of political pressure groups in ^ well ^ outside its borders.
into the picture to gain local ad
vantages is-giving those who have
the job to do considerable con
cern.
More concern is expressed
by those who have made
careful surveys of the whole
armament field, over the apparent
shortage of skilled labor compe
tent to carry out the vast rearma
ment program on schedule. An
other worry is the problem of
housing thousands of workers
Yours very truly,
George F. Claussen, Sr.,
President.
The announcement from Claus-
sen’s comes at a very opportune
time, since Congress is even now
considering seriously the Burke-
Wadsworth conscription bill.
Claussen’s has taken immediate
steps to assure all employees that
service with the armed forces of
the United States will not
jeopardize their jobs with the

Since I became a member of Congress on Janu
has teen in session for nearl;
ary 3, 1939, the Con-
seventeen months of the nineteen
gress has been in session lor nearly seventeen months or the nineteen
months following. Feeling it my duty to be present and take part in
the deliberations, I have not had opportunity to be in the district but
very little during the campaign and discuss with you the problems
that face the nation at this tune and explain my efforts to assist in
their solution. In view of this situation, I have from time to time
undertaken to advise you of my services and stewardship through
speeches and literature which I have mailed and distributed through
out district.
In, making this campaign, I am relying solely on my own record,
which I invite the most careful consideration of every voter. I have
Ehren to the district every minute of my time and have endeavored
to render faithful, loyal, honest and conscientious service. I have
supported those policies of government which I feel to be for the best
interest of my constituents. At the same time I have submitted to
the Congress and advocated those measures which I believe to be
necessary for the welfare and protection of this county. THE MOST
VITAL PRESSING AND SERIOUS PROBLEMS THIS NATION EVER
FACED ARE NOW BEFORE US FOR SOLUTION. I AM GIVING TO
It ALL THE ENERGY AND ABILITY I AM ABLE TO COMMAND,
therefore invite your consideration of my record, and I trust it is
as to command the confidence you reposed in me two years ago.
I nledae you continued devotion to duty and will endeavor to render
service that will prove to be a credit to our district, state and nation.
Very sincerely. t, tt

for government-financed housing
facilities, which will call for more
Congressional appropriations.
Campaign Uncertain
In the Presidential campaign
there are so many elements of un
certainty that no cautious ob
server ventures a forecast of the
outcome. Much depends upon
events beyond American control.
Should the threat of German vic
tory over England diminish, it is
considered here that would tend
to diminish Mr. Roosevelt's
chances, which are now regarded
as no more than even.
Republican candidate Wendell
Willkfe has rejected the proposal
that his party evade the political
expenditure restrictions of the
Hatch Act, and has announced
that much less than 3 millions
authorized by that law will be
spent on his campaign. He has
also proposed that the law should
be amended to provide that every
public official should file a state
ment of his entire assets and those
of his family on taking office, and
again on leaving it.
Nobody here expects Vice-Presi
dent Gamer to return to Wash
ington from his home in Texas.
How far he will go in trying to
get Texas to vote for Willkie is
uncertain. Some believe it is pos
sible that Texas may go Republi
can again, as it did in 1928. Re
publican hopes are centered, how
ever, on carrying New York, Penn
sylvania and Illinois.

mind as to the future, when the

Employees Called To Colors
Promised Jobs On Their Return
“Claussen’s will give to all of its
employees a position equivalent to
or better than that which such
employee now has upon return
from service for the period of the
emergency in the military or naval
forces of the United States.”
When plant managers of the
Claussen’s plant, read these words
in letters they received one day
last week from George F. Claussen,
Sr., president of the baking firm,
they hastened to assure all employ
ees that each individual’s Job with
Claussen’s would be waiting for
him, should he leave the company
to join either the army or r~vy
under the emergency defense
plans.
Rising to the need of the ! tur

way possible for complete coon' r i-
tion in the emergency mllP ^y

goes even a step further and in

is likely to be waiting for those
who must do their patriotic duty
for their country.

1’11 tell you fellows, my dad
Is the bestest dad a feller ever
had—
He don’t ever fume and raise a
row—
He just gets along so smooth,
somehow.
Why we kids are enuf to run him
wild—
But he never frowns—he always
smiles.
Now you can’t find another dad
like him—
For thfre ain’t another ever
been.
Why we kids do everything that’s
bad—
To the bestest dad a feller ever
had—
We even pull his hair and run
And oh, we think it’s loads of
fun.
An’ when he goes to pray at
night—
One of us kids’ll blow out the
light—
But never a lick does he ever give
To the meanest kids that ever
lived.
We. always beat it when he
comes—
Down to the smallest, teeniest
one—
To see who’ll grab him ’roun the
neck
An’ tell him we love him more’n
a peck.
And then into his pockets we
dive—
It’s the best place at all for
peanuts to hide—
An’ then we run to bring him a
chair—
An’ gather all ’round him just
to hear—
What funny jokes he’s got to
tell—
And then he tickles little Nell
And rides her once across the
floor— -
And then she cries and begs for
more.
We always have a good ol’e time
When our dear dad is near
around—
For he knows how to joke and
Ai? listen to what you’ve got to

He has such gentle ways you
know—
That’s why I say there ain’t no

Of men just like my dear old

had.

make and one of the best to have
on hand. It’s delicious with roast
lamb and mutton and adds a
piquant touch to many a dessert
and sauce.
Rich in that peculiar jelly-mak
ing factor, pectin, currants make
a perfect, firm jelly without the
use of commercial pectin. Currant
jelly is sure to “Jell” and the fruit
is splendid to combine with non
acid fruits lacking in pectin.
However, currants are no excep
tion to the rule that fruit for
jelly-making should be under
ripe rather than over-ripe. Jelly
made from over-ripe fruit has a
tendency to be syrupy and granu
lar.
Plain Currant Jelly
Wash currants and look over
but it’s not necessary to remove
from stems. Put just enough
water in a smooth, broad preserv
ing kettle to prevent sticking be
fore the juice begins to flow from
fruit. Add fruit, cover kettle and
bring quickly to the boiling point.
Reduce heat and crush with a
wooden potato masher. Simmer
until currants look white. Turn
into a jelly bag and let drip
through. Do not squeeze for the
first extraction of juice.
Measure juice. For each cup of
iuice use three-fourths cup of
Tranulated sugar. Heat sugar in
a warm oven. Put juice into a
broad kettle and bring quickly to
the boiling point. Boil five min
utes and slowly sift in sugar. Boil,
rapidly until the syrup sheets from
the spoon. Remove from heat,
skim if necessary and pour into
hot sterilized jelly glasses. Cover
with a thin layer of paraffin and
when cold cover with a second
layer of paraffin.
Four fruit jelly is a delicious
combination of fruits that Great-
Aunt Nancy made for state oc
casions and Sundays. One quart
each of strawberries, red raspber
ries, currants and sour cherries
measured after stoning were wash
ed and cooked until the juice was
extracted. Let juice drip in jelly
bag and measure. Use three cups
of sugar to four cups of juif"\
Combine sugar and juice and MU
rapidly until syrup sheets from
