mittee where the Dewey resolution to investigate the mail-order house invasion case is stymied by Chairman Sabath, Chicago Democrat.

- Jackson's Reaction

But Mr. Halleck is scheduled to keynote the Wisconsin G. O. P. convention tomorrow and cannot return here until later in the week. To the charge that President Roosevelt was “playing politics” in the ousting of Sewell Avery by the U. 8. soldiery and taking over the business by force of arms, Senator Samuel D. Jackson (D. Ind.) doesn’t agree. - Looking at the heap of letters and telegrams on his desk from what he termed “citizens from all walks of life in the state,” each one condemning the Montgomery Ward seizure, Senator Jackson said: “It doesn't look like any good polftics to_me.. I cannot imagine any bette} way to lose votes in an election year.”

Charles 8. Dewey (R. IL). Chairman McCarran {D. Nev) of the senate judiciary subcommittee’ investigating use of pres} fential directives, already has sent an investigator to Chicago: All the Hoosiers and many other senators and congressmen received letters inclosing an editorial from | The Indianapolis Times for Satur day, April 29, entitled “But Where Are the Troops?” It points out that a similar situation to that between Montgomery Ward and union work-' ers existed in the office of the Teamsters and Chauffeurs union in Indianapolis, but no troops took over.! The editorial cited the fact that! President Daniel J. Tobin of the teamsters is a friend of the Presi-| dent.

Exception to Pattern

In many ways, Adm. Kirk is an exception to the salty pattern. In the first place, he doesn’t play poker. Moreover, although the sea holds a lure for him, it doesnt blind him to the beauty of the English countryside. When he gets the chance he takes walking trips, In addition to. army and navy men, he numbers among his close friends such opposites as Justice Frankfurter and Lady Astor. Now, while busy perfecting naval plans, he finds time to delve into Macauley's History of England. All his life he has devoted much of his leisure to reading. Despite his diyerse tastes, he made it clear that the sea is his first love. He said he does not re-

Confidence Stressed He puts tremendous store upon the psychological influence of a commander over his men. “It is necessary, he said, “that an officer be sure of himself. He must feel certain that he will succeed in what he sets out to accomplish, and he must be able to impart that confidence to the men under him. This is what makes a successful leader; When anyone
