years, although they are experienced and competent. - : They are men used to rough - work; accustomed to handling heavy machinery and big construction; men who are more comfortable in overalls at the levers of steam hoists than in . slacks strolling a steamship deck.

They are fine men. We have become acquainted with most of them. They are what the West : is made up of, which is the reason we love the West. They got their jobs through itten application to Washington; they received printed instructions telling them when and on what ship to sail; they will be met at the dock in Panama by a Government man who will tell them what their new jobs are to be, and where. 4 _~ They are grateful for these new jobs, but some of them are apprehensive. They don’t know how the tropical heat will affect them; they don’t know how long they are to be away; they don’t know whether their families will join them later. ° Some of them have never been away from their families before. It seems terrible that men as useful

from friends and lifelong surroundings, in order to make a living. : ”

Tops Among ‘Powder Men’

One of these men is Douglas Shelton of Albuquerque. Half his life has been spent in railroading, the other half in construction. He has not been on the ocean since he came home from France in 1919. He has two fine children in their teens. He carries their pictures in his pocketbook.

" I WOULD BE DUCKING a daty if I failed to equip my readers with the necessary program notes ‘for a proper appreciation of “Geronimo,” the big Western thriller de luxe, which is scheduled to open at the Circle Theater tomorrow. Kenneth Loucks, who put me wise to it, says it’s full of Indians, blood-curdling yells and real-for-sure scalpings. Yippee! By this time, no doubt, you know that Monte Blue, the local boy-who-made-good, is one of the featured players. Well, that's only the half of it. The other half is Gen. Henry Wade Lawton, the Ohio-born but IndianaDred soldier whose monument decorates Garfield ark. : I don’t know whether the movie version of“Geronimo” mentions Gen. Lawton by name or not, but you can take. my word for it that he and nobody else was the one who cornered and captured the

notorious Apache chief. Certainly it wasn’t a Holly=wood dude. :

40 Years a Soldier

Gen Lawton had a great record as a soldier, covering a period of 40 years. He was in many conflicts in the Civil War (9th Indiana Infantry); in ‘hundreds of fights with the Indians (the Sioux in 1876; the Utes in 1879); in the battle of Santiago de Cuba in the war with Spain, and in many: actions of the Philippine war. Of all his achievements, however, Gen. Lawton’s pursuit and capture of Geronimo in 1886 is still - | regarded as one of the most remarkable campaigns | ever undertaken. With only a handful of picked men he went after Geronimo, followed him like a blcodhound for three months through all kinds of weather, to say nothing of unspeakable suffering,

Washington

CLEVELAND, Jan. 18.—In traveling about ‘the Middle West for two weeks I have found only the mildest interest in the Presidential race. Perhaps it is too early. But I do not think that | is the real explanation. No Democratic nor Repub-

lican Presidential aspirant arouses more than the most casual interest. Of the lot, I hear more questions about young Mr. Dewey than anyene else, with perhaps Vice Te Garner as runner-up i such as it is. One editor may have put his finger on the explanation when he said that President Roosevelt so dominates the scene, so fully : occupies the popular imagination ik —favorably or unfavorably—that other figures seem flat and colorless by comparison. Certainly here in Ohio the Republicans take Senator Robert A. Taft in their stride, and a number of them would just as soon have Governor Bricker.

It’s all rather perfunctory. Nothing like the feeling, the intense feeling for or against a man, that you have over Al Smith or Calvin Coolidge or Herbert Hoover or Franklin Roosevelt. Those were big-league stars, even before they were nominated. ]

2 » 8 Dewey Stirs Curiosity

Among the Republicans, Mr. Dewey alone stirs such curiosity and interest. Professional politicians tend to guess that Senator Vandenberg of Michigan is most likely to be nominated by the Republicans. But you hear almost no questions about him. It is Dewey they want to know. about. He hasn't said anything ‘yet but most people think he has. They can't tell you what he stands for. He is against pessimism and is for optimism, ‘yet in the popular imagination he is a clear-cut figure, aggressive, posi-

One fellow can’t ‘sleep; “my new choppers are killing me,” he says. Another of the men came straight from Ft. Peck, Mont. He is a skilled foreman, but arthritis had drawn his hands so badly he could hardly go to work any more. The doctors told him he must get out of that cold climate, so he applied for Panama. Already, in these few days at sea, the warmth has relaxed his muscles, and daily his hands straighten out and the pain grows less. He is elated. These 15 men are not adventurers. Hardly a one is under 40. Most of them are World War veterans. They have passed the happy-go-lucky age. They are traveling a long, long way—because man in this world must make his living, and he must bear a responsibility for others who come to depend on him, and if he can't make it one place he must make it somewhere else. :

and finally had him cornered. After which, for the first time in a quarter of ‘a century, the southeastern part of Arizona breathed more easily. Which brings me to the final phase of Gen. Lawton’s career—the ironical part. Thirteen years after Gen. Lawton had Geronimo, the Apache, out .of the way, he met Geronimo, the Filipino. The scene now shifts to the Philippines. On the morning of Dec. 19, 1899, Gen. Lawton was leading an attack on the insurgents under Geronimo at San Mateo, northeast of Manila. He was walking -along the firing line within ‘300 yards of a small sharpshooters’ trench, conspicuous in the big white helmet he always wore and a light yellow raincoat. (The monument in Garfield Park portrays him with the helmet all right, but for some reason without the yellow raincoat. At that, it’s probably the best statue anywhere around here. Andrew O’Connor was the sculptor.) : :

An Untimely End :

Well, the sharpshooters got the lay of the land, to say nothing of Gen. Lawton’s” commanding stature (six feet). Several shots clipped the grass near Gen. Lawton’s feet. His staff officers called his attention to the danger to which he was exposing himself, but he just laughed. For 40 years he had a contempt for bullets and, certainly, a little thing like that did't worry him now. Suddenly he clenched his hands in a desperate effort to stand erect and exclaimed “I am shot.” : ) “Thus’ the ‘brave commander who conquered Geronimo, the Apache, came to an untimely end in a conflict with Geronimo, the Filipino.” That's the way our late friend, Paul Leland Haworth, professor of history at Butler, ended his story of Gen. Lawton on Page 4220, Vol. IX of the Standard History of the World—United States Section. I hardly think you’ll need any program notes. of mine to get the drift of the funny feature which, in all probability, will follow “Geronimo” at the Circle tomorrow. : :

tive, frank, outspoken-—He’s got just that much of the old what-it-takes! Of course, as one Republican politician said, when they begin asking Dewey questions he may fold up. He is trying to avoid foreign-policy discussion. He will be hounded until he does speak. Senator Borah and some of the other Western Isolationists suspect Mr. Dewey of being under the influence of the Henry Stimson school, which is defined in the Western lexicon as interventionist. Senator Vandenberg and Senator Taft are on record about everything; perhaps that accounts for the comparative lack of curiosity about them. . Among Democratic aspirants it is old man Garner that people ask about. He interests them. They want to know if he is seriously in the race to win or just to beat President Roosevelt for a third term. They: want to know about Mr. Roosevelt's attitude toward him. ‘

Respect for Hull

For Secretary Cordell Hull there is respect, and almost no criticism save where the reciprocal trade program encounters sectional opposition, and even there it doesn't bite Mr. Hull in any savage way. But he is not a subject of intense curiosity and personal interest. : . : . Neither, strangely, is Paul McNutt a subject of particular interest. His name is not often heard, except when someone asks what has happened to his boom. With a glamorous tradition behind him, Mr. McNutt has faded. He is not the controversial and exciting figure that he promised to be when he came back from the Philippines. g Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana is mentioned some, and ranks perhaps after Secretary Hull in favor among the average Democrats in the Middle West. He is well known almost everywhere, having spoken in practically every Middle-Western city some time during recent years. Interest, however, is only mild. Aside from those names, it is mostly yawning silence.

1940 HOPEFULS

Other Democratic Aspirants Find Selves Blocked in Own Plans.

By THOMAS L. STOKES ‘Times Special Writer

"WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.— The third-term juggernaut, with zealous

- |New: Dealers at the throttle and a

horde of officeholders and prospective officeholders acquiescing, steaming up—to the discomfiture of other aspirants for the Democratic nomination. President Rosevelt benignly gives his private consent—which does not necessarily mean he will seek a thi] nomination, But the effect on other hopefuls is a growing conviction that he does

they find their own blocked. They find themselves helpless against the inside New Deal crowd, which is promoting developments day after day to add to the impression of a “demand” on all sides that Mr. Roosevelt run again.

It Has Gone on for Weeks

Such a development was the announcement by Arthur L. Limbach, State Democratic Chairman, that Ohio's delegation would be for Mr. Roosevelt if he wants it, though ostensibly committed to Senator Vic Donahey as “favorite son.” Also the almost simultaneous announcement by Senator Claude Pepper that Florida’s delegation would be for a third term. For several weeks now, in speeches and statements at the rate of two or three a week, various public figures such as Robert H. Jackson, Henry A. Wallace and Harold Te Ickes, have been reciting the “public demand” for a third term.

Senator Wanted Control

Developments in pivotal Ohio, followed swiftly upon Mr. Jackson's third-term advocacy in a Jackson Day address at Cleveland which Mr. Roosevelt had discussed with him beforehand. They may have followed too swiftly, for Senator Donahey grumbled openly when he heard of Mr. Limbach’s bald pledge of the delegation to the President, with Mr. Donahey’s “favorite son” status mentioned only as an afterthought. The Senator is friendly enough to Mr. Roosevelt, and the original intention was for a New Deal delegation favorable to the President, but the Senator intended to have control of it himself to trade as he saw fit, depending on convention developments. Reports from Ohio indicate a mixup now over the delegate slate, with ill-feeling evident, Vic Donahey is a tough customer. But the way the New Dealers are crowding him illustrates the dilemma in which some state bosses find themselves. 3 As long as the President is a potential candidate, state leaders and their henchmen have to stand by him—for their own protection, that is—in most cases. There are exceptions, mostly in the South where the bosses are more firmly entrenched.

Roosevelt No. 1 Vote-Getter

President Roosevelt has great popular strength, He is still the No. 1 vote-getter. Politicians will hang on to his coattails as long as he is in the race. Two Cabinet members who are prospective - candidates, Secretary Cordell Hull and Postmaster General James A. Farley, have remained silent on the third-term issue. Neither can very well oppose it. On Vice President John N. Garner rests the task of preventing the renomination of Mr. Roosevelt, and he finds himself stymied. Though the Gallup Poll indicates considerable popular favor for him—he leads among other candidates—he would find himself handicapped in a convention against the Roosevelt influence and his own lieutenants will admit this. ]

Retaliation for Garner

The conservatives and anti-Roose-velt forces have lined up behind him, but the New Deal politicos ‘hold the whip hand with the backing ‘of the President Now they are retaliating against the Texan with whispers that the ticket is to be Roosevelt and Byrnes—Senator F.

PLANE SAFETY FUEL DESCRIBED

Explosion Menace Lessened, Standard Oil Men Tell Society.

(Copyright, 1940, by Science Service) DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 18.—A new type of safety gasoline for aviation that would be no more volatile than kerosene and hence less hazardous, from the explosion standpoint, was described at the meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers here by Robert E. Ellis and William J. Sweeney of the Standard Oil Development Co. : Back in the days when the U. S. Navy had the Akron, Macon and other great 4irships, safety fuels were considered seriously, the scientists pointed out. These airships were inflated with helium to decrease their fire risk and Naval scientists were seeking a gasoline which vaporized only a little and could be used to cut the kill hazard from fuel still. further. Naval Disasters Cited

The disasters to Naval airships and the urge for superier highoctane gasolines for airplanes were

reasons why interest in safety fuels

diminished after 1932, although in that year the capacity for the production of such safety fuels reached tank car lots. A New advances in petroleum refining since 1932 have, however, made it possible to produce safety ‘fuels with very high octane (anti-knock) rating up to 100 octane number. These safety fuels have a flash point, the temperature at which their: vapors will ignite, of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In contrasy, the flash point of many gasolines is below room temperature and, in some cases, is as’ low as minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Supply Is Ample Mr. Ellis and Mr. Sweeney, in their analysis of crude petrqleum sources suitable for making safety gasolines, found that if the proper equipment were installed, a production of 10 million barrels of such fuels could be produced each year, an amount sufficient for aviation’s needs for many years to come. Stopping point for the immediate introduction of these new safety gasolines is that they cannot be burned in an ordinary type of engine using a carburetor. It is necessary to supply the fuel to the engine by injection methods.

FUNDS LACKING TOAPPLYFOOD STAMPSINCITY

Boetcher to Study Laws to Determine Whether He Can Lend $75,000.

County, state and township officials today were virtually agreed on adoption of the Federal food stamp plan of distributing surplus come modities to relief clients here.

The only drawback is the finding of $75,000 with which to establish a revolving fund necessary for pure chase of the stamps. At a meeting of 14 officials yes terday at the Court House, it was decided that the plan of raising the fund by proportionate contributions from the township funds would be impractical.

Boetcher to Study Laws

County Treasurer Walter Boetche er agreed to make a study of the laws governing his office to deter mine if he could lend the money for the revolving fund from County balances in his charge. Under the plan, direct relief clients would be given 50 cents worth of blue stamps for each $1 of their relief order. These blue stamps, ree deemable by the Federal Governe ‘ment, could be traded at any grocery for any articles on the Federal surplus commodities list. Such ar ticles now are distributed, in lesser quantities, directly by the Surplus Commodities Corp. The new system would not eliminate the political patronage grocery order ‘system now in operation. It is proposed to continue issuing food orders to relief clients, the orders calling for a specific grocery.

. Hold to Order System

In some cities in which the stamp plan is being tried, direct relief - clients are given the orange-colored stamps which can be taken to any grocery in the City, instead of receiving the | orders on a specific grocery. The lo¥al township trustees were reported reluctant to abolish the order system. The plan also provides that WPA workers ‘and | others receiving Feds eral aid in |cash might purchase orange colored stamps, receiving 50 cents worth of the blue stamps for each $1 worth of orange stamps. This plan, in use in a number of other cities, provides reliefers not only with a greater quantity of sur plus commodity foods, thus adding to their food supply, but permits them to choose the surplus foods they wish and gives them a much wider variety from which to choose, Two Months Required As soon as Mr. Boetcher and State Accounts Board © officials decide whether the Treasurer can provide the money for the revolving tund, another meeting of the township trustees and other officials will be

My Day

By Eleanor Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, Wednesday.—Many of you have probably wondered during the past week, just as I did, what would happen to the wives, .mothers and children of the men who were killed in the | mine disaster in West Virginia. It is bad enough to lose someone you love, but that is something which all of us experience. However, to face the fact that with the loss goes the food and shelter of the family, is stark tragedy, which, fortunately, all of us do not have to face.

I felt that this emergency did face those families waiting at the mouth of the mine for the bodies of their men to be brought up. Therefore, I was very happy when a representative of the Social Security’ Board telephoned | to tell me that out of the 92 miners who were killed, 173 of them were currently insured under the Federal | old-age survivors system. The widows and children will be eligible to monthly benefits under this system. There is a chance that some of the 19 others may also be insured, though the employers’ records already in do not show it. That is a dramatic illustration of what this program means to us, for I know that all of you will sleep more yy at night kn th

When we were living in New York City, after my husband had left the Navy Department, I remember our going to a clubhouse which at the time was run for Navy and Army men in New York City.

of the Navy League of the United States is putting on a membership drive. For many years I knew something of their work, I am still interested in their expansion, for I think this country should know and support its Navy. ‘
