SHORT PREDICTS FOUR "40 ISSUES

War, Spending, Trade and Labor Policies Vital, Congressman Says.

WASHINGTON, July 25 (U. P.).— Rep. Dewey Short (R. Mo.) said today a poll he has made of rank-and-file Republicans revealed that the 1940 Presidential campaign will be fought over four major issues— war, spending, trade and labor policy. Rep. ‘Short said these four issues were most frequently mentioned in more than 40,000 replies to his poll of Republicans on political issues of the day. He said he conducted the poll at his own expense, without consulting the Republican National Committee, to determine for himself what “grass roots” citizens are thinking ‘about governmental policies. ‘Candidates Can Wait’ “we shouldn't worry about who will be the candidate until the first of next year,” he said. “I wanted to know from the people what the issues are going to be and who will be the delegates to the national convention.. “We Republicans are going to elect a Republican House next year —I'm convinced of it—and whether we elect a President depends on the issues. We have nothing to fight over; we have something to fight for. We don't want to lose our

| friends by courting our enemies.”

Rep. Short summarized reaction to his questionnaire on the four major issues as follows: WAR—"“The masses are feeling that the President has played up the war scare even more than some of the European newspapers to distract public attention from domestie difficulties to foreign perils. They don’t want more discretion given to the President.” He predicted that the fight over this issue would be “worse” than the League of Nations campaign in 1920. “Spending Must Stop” SPENDING—“Of course business is almost universally against this astronomical spending, but even the recipients of the Federal Government’s benefits, the farmers and the people on relief, are beginning to realize that the national debt is going up and the basic problem is unsolved. They wonder what the end will be. The vast majority feels this spending must stop.” TRADE—‘Some Republicans are in favor of the New Deal's reciprocal trade program, but the average industrialist, the working man in the factories, and the farmers in particular want their American market returned to them.” LABOR— The Wagner act, the National Labor Relations Board and the Wage-Hour Law are forcing small businesses to close. The Wage-Hour Law is just the NRA in disguise and if the NRA taught us anything it was that any attempt to force the members of any industry to conform to universal and uniform standards is ruinous.”

2 COMPANION BILL

TO HATCH'S TIED|

UP IN CONGRESS

Right-of-Way but Hope Is Slight.

By CHARLES J. LUCEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 25—A bill empowering’ President Roosevelt -to extend the civil service system to the thousands of Federal employees affected by the Hatch “No Politics” Bill is awaiting action in the House, but may be sidetracked in

Introduced early in the session by Rep. Robert Ramspeck (D. Ga.), House Civil Service Committee chairman and foremost congressional advocate of the merit sys-

mittee and has been given a Rules

floor. ; Whether Administration ~ floor leaders will elect to bring it up before Congress goes home appears doubtful. Rep. Ramspeck said today, however, that he believes passage of his bill is the logical step to follow the Hatch bill, which bars Federal employees political activity.

Linked to Hatch Bill

President Roosevelt already has blariketed under civil service all hose not specifically exempted by acts of Congress. Mr. Ramspeck said that while his proposal extending the merit system is permissive, rather than mandatory, he believes the™ President would exercise the power given him. Civil service rules provide that Government workers covered by the

litically. The Hatch Bill, now awaiting Mr. Roosevelt's signature, lays down a similar ban, but it does not give workers it affects the protection of civil service. Some advocates of this extension point out that Federal employees up to now have contributed their share to party success at the polls as a matter of job security. - Now that this political activity is banned, it is contended, security should be profited on the merit system to those who measure up to their jobs.

Provides for Dismissals -

There has been some opposition to the Ramspeck bill because of a fear that under it, a great number of employees would be blanketed into their jobs on a permanent basis. Records of recent civil service examinations show, however, that about 25 per cent of those applying for civil service status are being turned back because of failure to pass thg examinations required. The Ramspeck bill carries an amendment providing that persons who fail to pass the tests be dismissed within six monhts. There are now about 560,000 persons in the classified civil service system, and an estimated 250,000 would be brought under the system by the Ramspeck bill.

NEW YORK, July 25 (U. P.).— Mayor Maury Maverick of San Antonio, Tex., said today there is “not one damn bit of sentiment” in Texas behind the Presidential boom for Vice President John N. Garner, Here to appear on a radio program tonight, + Mayor Maverick, former spokesman for the liberal bloc in Congress, said that he was

“not hot for a third term,” but described President Roosevelt as the only “really powerful liberal candidate available.” He charged that the Garner boom is “sponsored and pushed by big lobbyists for special interests.” Mayor Maverick said he was “reserving comment” on the appoint-

ment of Paul V. McNutt as Federal|

Security Administrator, “waiting to see if he has read the Bill of Rights.”

AMALIE, Virgin

They've found the way! Out. of every five homes ‘you pass on ‘American city - streets, you ¢ can put down two as users of the famous breakfast cereal that combats constipation due to lack of “bulk’—Kellogg’s All-Bran. So widely has the good. a news spread that today All-Bran has six million user-homes. Why?

Back in 1920, shortly after thie World War, a great research was started that has continued to this day. W. K. Kellogg enlisted eminent nutritionists, food chemists, and medical researchers in one of the most extensive and costly studies of constipa~ tion ever made. Amazing things were discovered about the action of the intestinal tract and the ability of this famous cereal to aid elimination. And the result?

i» Pn damon a ART

Two out of every five families in the average American city are’ now - eating All-Bran to join the “regulars”! Through j years of personal experience, most of these. homes have found that this fine breakfast cereal really helps them avoid constipation due to lack of “bulk” in the diet. They know how much more pleasant it is to prevent constipation than to treat the trouble after it arises. Millions ‘of families fhake this a primary rule: "Eat All-Bran for breakfast every day and drink plenty of water." Make it your rule, too, if you suffer from constipation ‘due to lack of “bulk.” But be sure to get the original double- milled All-Bran. Look for the red Kellogg signature on' ‘the te pack: age. All-Bran is made only by Kellogg sin Baftle Creek.
