A LADY CHANGES HER MIND AGAIN
Jessie Sumner, Chicago Tribune’s Girl Friend Decides To Run Again The Republic may yet be saved! Jessie Sumner, the Chicago Tidbune’s girl friend, has decided to make another effort. During the Christmas holidays, while home communing Ayith her constituency, the 18th district congresswoman announced that the Republic was lost and that she. consequently, would retire to the pastoral beauty of Milford, a pleasant hamlet near Watseka in Iroquois County, Illinois, when her present term ended. But yesterday the lady from Illinois, exercising the prerogative claimed by ladies no matter whether they are congresswomen or not, changed her mind. She’s going to run again. She has, so Jessie announced in Washington, been feeling “like a rat leaving the sinking ship of state.’’ Yields to a Draft That unpleasant feeling wasn’t the only factor in her decision again to seek the Republican nomination. The Chicago Tribune has been conducting a “draft Jessie” movement and the lady has yielded. Then, too, the 18th district includes the old hunting grounds of the Potawatamies, the Indian tribe whose greatest glory was the maiden Watseka. She saved them from a savage enemy, leading the the attack herself. And so the Potawatamies developed the tradition that in times of danger another would follow in her footsteps. She’ll Do Her Best They had, incidentally, so many Watsekas before they were finally driven out of Illinois, back in the early part of the 19th century, that the white man who came after them gave her name to the seat of Iroquois County. While Jessie, in yesterday’s announcement, didn’t claim she was a modern Watseka, she indicated she w r ould do her best. She summed this viewpoint up when she declared she couldn’t leave now “when steps are being taken that will surely cause another war in EUrope and lock our country into a world union from which we cannot secede without causing a world civil war.” So the 18th district will again hear Jessie’s war cry—the “give ’em hell, Jessie,” admonitions that her followers yell when she mounts the hustings. And Jessie,
instead of enjoying the solititude of pastoral Milford will undoubtedly “give ’em hell,” as she has been doing for quite some time past,—Chicago Sun.
HISS M’CORMICK FOR ANSWERS
Hisses And Booes Follow Prepared Speech In Cleveland
Cleveland, Qhio.—Robert R. McCormick, editor and ■ publisher of the Chicago Tribune, received a chorus of boos during an exciting and electric question period w r hich followed his prepared speech at the City Club Forum here. The City Club’s sharp-shooting questioners succeeded in riling the isolationist publisher, although he evaded some of the tough” ones by deft side-stepping. In one instance he attempted to evade an accusation that the McCormick and Patterson publications, the Chicago Tribune and New York Daily News, were “Axis papers” by pointing to the questioner’s foreign accent as “typical.” The displeasure of the crowd, largest of the season at a forum, was expressed in a large boo. He also accused the New York Herald Tribune and the Chicago Sun of being foreign-controlled in answer to a request that he be specific about a general accusation on “foreign-controlled press.” He said these papers “bought into the foreign nobility.” McCormick got off to a flying start in the question period by characterizing the first question as “absurd.” “Do you think it is wise to attack Great Britain to the extent that you do?” asked an interrogator, referring to McCormick’s allegation in his prepared speech that our general staff feared an attack by Britain at Detroit immediately following the last World War. “I don’t attack Great Britain," McCormick answered, and leaning forward, he roared: “I merely du not prefer her to my own coun try! ” “Who does?” someone shouted “Apparently, the gentleman who asked the question does,” said McCormick and added belligerently: “And I think you do, too.” Many questions were aimed at pinning down McCormick’s opinion of Representative Fulbright (Dem., Ark.) and his resolution that the United States participate with other nations in policing the

postwar world. A Tribune editorial implying that Fulbright had betrayed the country was quoted from the floor. McCormick said ha thought the editorial was justified. The City Club, distinguished for its tolerance, gave vent to the loudest boos at McCormick’s answer to the following question: “I understand he justified the Fulbright editorial—may I ask whether others are justified in calling his Chicago Tribune and the McCormick-Patterson papers Axis papers on the same measure of justice.” The questioner spoke respectfully, if not with the purest Yankee accent. Said McCormick, shortly: “If anybody did, he would use the same accent as the gentleman whu just questioned me.’ Later someone asked “Wh-it does a man’s accent have to do with his beliefs?” This question was passed. The Rev. Dilworth L u p t o 11, Cleveland Press Columnist, asked if McCormick thought it was patriotic of the Chicago Tribune to print confidential plans for defense of the Pacific a few days before Pearl Harbor. The colonel replied, “How were we to think there would be an attack on Peal Harbor.” McCormick refused to state his opinion of the proposed national service act, ducked a question as to whether the United States should participate in a RussianPolish settlement, asserted that he had never endorsed Elizabeth Billing of “Red Network” notoriety, said he would not allow European or Asiatic interference in this hemisphere and he dodged a question concerning possession of Caribbean islands after the war. At his press conference McCormick was asked if he had “happened” to read the Carlson book, “Under Cover.” He said he had not. Told that his enemies connect him with “the vermin press of professional organizations referred to in the book,” McCormick said he would answer that in his City Club speech, but he did not. “What’s new in politics?” he was asked. “Since Willkie’s complete demise, I don’t know of anything new,” he answered. He declared that any good Republican candidate can beat Roosevelt in the presidential election and enumerated Gov. John W. Bricker, Senator Arthur Vandenberg. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Gov. Earl Warren, Gen. Douglas MacArthur or Senator Robert A. Taf^
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES “Soul” is the subject of the Les-son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, February 13. The Golden Text is: “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God” (Isaiah 6^:10). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “Plead my cause, 0 Lord, with them that strive with me: And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant’ 1 (Psalms 35:1, 9, 27). “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God” (Psalms 146:5). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook,“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind, and happiness would be more readily attained and would be more secure in our keeping, if sought in Soul. Higher enjoyments alone can satisfy the cravings of immortal man” (p. 60). “Truth will at length compel us all to exchange the pleasures and pains of sense fo* tie joys of Soul” (d. 390).
Wallace Says People Must Be Employed San Francisco, Feb. 11—America “will win the peace only if we keep the people of our country at work,” Vice President Henry A. Wallace declared in an address here in which he said he wanted to “kill the myth” that our gigantic, war debt will stand in the way of
postwar prosperity.
The “one great test of statesmanship after the war will be “our ability to maintain the maximum useful employment over a long period of years, and at the same time preserve our democratic liberties,” Wallace told a crowd of 10,000 in the San Francisco civic auditorium. “We can and must give our poorer people a chance to work productively if we are as serious about total peace as Ave have been about total war,” he said. “People' talk about acres of diamond or gold mines in the backyard,” he added. “The ' real gold mine in our national backyard is the ten million poorest families who before the Avar bought only about five billion dollars Avorth of stuff a year, but Avho can easily furnish a market for $15,000,000,000, if they are given opportunities in the postAvar period.”
he said, and “I Avant to do what I can to kill the myth that the gigantic war debt will stand in our
way.”
“We can pay the interest on this debt and have a standard of living at least 50 per cent higher than in the decade of the 30’s,” he
added.
“But if we allow the thought of the national debt to scare us,” he continued, “it will hang as a millstone around our necks and we shall all be sunk in a sea of unimaginable difficulties. There is just one way to tre^.t the war debt and that is to remember that it can be carried easily if all of us are able to work hard and use our natural resources and human skill to the maximum.’ “The greatest economic sin is Waste of human labor,” Wallace said. “The greatest threat to a balanced budget is unemployment. Unemployment is the one thing that can break all of us. You can’t beat something Avith nothing; we can’t beat unemployment Avith anything but positive programs aimed at tvtlh employment.” v Visibly tired after his many speeches in southern California, Wallace rested for’30 minutes in a back room at the auditorium before he delivered his 40-minute talk. Immediately after his address howeA^er, he Avent to a restaurant in ChinatoAvn and enjoyed his fa-

chopsticks. Earlier in the day, Wallace told a crowd of 5,000 at a war bond rally at San Diego that the New Deal was “deathless” and said that soon the government will have to get behind industry and push as hard for postwar reconversion as it did two years ago for wartime production. o Prisoners On 8Hour Day Schedule Indianapolis, Feb. 11 —Governor Schricker announced today that an eight-hour working day schedule will be given to employees at the Michigan City state prison and the Pendleton state reformatory within a short time. Employees, he said, have worked a 12-hour schedule and a meeting with the state budget committee was held today to work out arrangements for the change over. Schricker praiped the work of institution employees saying “it is just a matter of good sound business to handle employees in a humane Avay.” The governor said the number of inmates particularly at hospitals probably would increase in the future and said additional facilities were needed. He said the employees of the institutions were doing a “great service” for low
salaries.
o Spain To Remain Neutral Says FDR Washington, Feb. 11—President Roosevelt told his news conference today that Great Britain and the United States are working together to see that Spain remains neutral in the true sense of the word. N Under questioning, he said he hoped the effort Avas succeeding but that he did not knoAv. The United States recently suspended oil shipments to Spain pending a thorough revieAV of the Spanish attitude. Mr. Roosevelt’s comment followed a question as to Avhether there had been any change in our relations Avith Spain. The president first referred the questioner to the State Department then added that of course the participants in his press and radio conference knew there had been a great many headaches in the sit-

asked.
The president said he did not knoAv; that this was a case in which he would say he hoped so. o AVERAGE' AIR TRIP 417 MILES
