N EW YORK.—United States army
men feared, when Maj.. Gen.
Allen W. Gullion was passed by in
favor of Lieut. Col. Lewis B. Hersey
** r* n- cm as adminis-
Gen. Gullion Stays trator of the
In Army; Fellow selective
Soldier. Are Glad
denf Roosevelt in all likelihood had
him in mind for some important
civilian duty.
Not that such a compliment
would not have been appreciat
ed by General Gullion’s fellow
soldiers. It was merely that his
legal services as judge advo
cate-general, to which office he
was appointed in 1937, were so
valuable as to cause wonder as
to just what officer could in pre
cise degree fill the place of a
man who, in addition to the Dis
tinguished Service medal—for
administrative brilliancy as .
chief of the mobilization division
in the provost marshal's office
in the first World war—holds
a bachelor of law degree as a
graduate of the University of
Kentucky law school.
But the army keeps him, after all,
by virtue of his appointment as head
of the re-created office of provost
marshal-general with duties includ
ing the training and command of
military police, supervision of in
ternment camps for aliens and re
lated activities. It will perhaps be
recalled that this office was held in
1917-18 by Maj. Gen. Enoch Crow
der.
General Gullion, now 61 years
old, having been born in Carrol-
ton, Ky., in 1880, was graduated
from Centre college in 1901 and
from West Point in 1905. While
on duty as professor of military
science and tactics at the Uni
versity of Kentucky in 1914 he
took the law course, being grad-
N uated with an LL.B.
During 1929 he was the war de
partment representative at an inter
national conference of 47 nations at
Geneva to formulate a code for the
handling of prisoners of war and to
revise the Geneva convention of
1906. A graduate of the school of
command and general staff at Fort
Leavenworth, his experience as a
student of arms was broadened by
a course of study at the naval war
college, Newport, R. I., from which
he was graduated in 1932, having
the previous year completed his
courses in the army war college.
T> USY at the moment fixing up
headquarters in Philadelphia,
John B. Kelly, new federal director
of health ' training for the men
Health Chief Oat na-
To Make Us Step tion, retires
Into Sound Bodies a ? chairman
of the Dem
ocratic city committee, a post he
has held for eight years, in order
that politics, or any suspicion of the
same, shall be divorced from his
duties. Kelly places physique above
politics at all times and he rejoices
as heartily at sight of a physically
puissant Republican as a herculean
Democrat and always has.
Since the Civil war the tortu-
•us waters of the Schuylkill riv
er have been dotted on pleasant
afternoons of the spring and
summer with the fragile shells
of single sculls oarsmen. The
stream is the national home of
sculling and many a champion
has been sent forth from those
placid waters. Kelly—Handsome
Jack, as he was, and is, fondly
known—was one of these scull
ers. He took to the water as
soon as he could handle a pair
of oars and his fame was estab
lished in 1920 when he won the
Olympic championship in sculls,
a feat he repeated in 1924.
Always an enthusiast for a sound
body—he is willing to let the sane
mind develop as an inevitable corol
lary—Kelly has been preaching the
virtues of trained physique with all
the ardor of an evangelist in the
years since his retirement from
competitive rowing. A successful
brick contractor, his political life
has been characterized by wide ex
perience and rugged battling in the
Republican party of which he was
once a member, as well as in his
present affiliation, the Democratic
party.
M RS. JOHN L. WHITEHURST,
president of the General Fed
eration of Women’s Clubs, protests
against the exclusion of women in
the national home defense program,
alleging discrimination against her
sex. She also inveighs against the
civil aeronautics board for its ac
tion in closing civilian pilot training
programs to women. She will ask
the General Federation to take
steps in both matters. The wife
of a Baltimore business man, she
has been active in women’s club af
fairs for 25 years.
Strike Stops Warship Building
While work on some $373,000,000 worth of warships and merchantmen
remained at a standstill, these members of the C.LO. industrial union of
America picketed outside the yards of the Federal Shipbuilding & Dry
Dock company at Kearney, N. J. The strike was called over the failure
of the company ^nd the union to agree in a dispute over the classification
of some 1,500 workers. '

YOU BUY
ON FAITH
Field tests have shown a big difference
in the quality of inoculator brands oh the
market. You cannot see the legume bac
teria you purchase. Inynediate demon
stration is impossible, what is the repu
tation and experience behind the inocu
lation you buy?
e NITRAGIN is the ORIGINA1. LEG
UME INOCULATOR, having served
the farmers for over forty years. It
won a GOLD MEDAL at the World’s
Fair, St. Louis, ISKKf.
e NITRAGIN is made in the most eom-
£ Iete and modern laboratory of its
ind in the world.
• NITRAGIN is the leader in its field
by a big margin. NITRAGIN demand
in tbe South has rapidly inereased
year after year. During the fall of
1940 the Southern shipments of
NITRAGIN were for more than 4fi
million pounds of VETCH and WIN
TER PEAS. This large demand is
due to many field tests carried onyear
after year. We prove by these tests
that NITRAGIN is a good prodset.
Send for our booklet “Plant Legumes to
Prosper,” showing pictures of field tests
and how NITRAGIN is made. The book
let also gives you valuable informatioa
regarding the inoculation of legumes.
If 3pur dealer does not have NITRAGIN
in stock, have him get it for you. Insist
on NITRAGIN inoculation.
