Ever so often, some G. O. P. stalwart, in speech or pre- pared statement, undertakes to warn of the dire things ahead for the country if present policies are pursued, but ® THAILTON B KEAN for the most part such criticism hasn't gotten very far. There have been reports that the Republican leaders like Sena- tor McNary, the party's leader in the Senate, have counseled si- lence. This is no time, they say, for political outbursts. At the close of the special ses- sion of Congress, Representative Snell, the Republican leader in the House, issued a blast against the policies of the Roosevelt Admin- istration, with particular emphasis on the cost entailed. It was nosed about that some of Snell's associates thought his attack ill-timed. But it is difficult for the man politics to be patient and silent politics to be pateient and silent when ‘the opposing party is doing things to upset precedent, and tradition. NO KICKBACK HERE Senator Kean of New Jersey, whose Republicanism is as regu- lar as it could possibly be, has found a target at which he can shoot without fear. No one can say that his particular form of criticism endangers the President's efforts at economic recovery. The Senator has picked out the Weather Bureau and Secretary Henry A. Wallace of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. He is irked at what he terms inaccuracies of the Bureau's fore- casters and intends to see that something is done. THAT BLOW, FOR INSTANCE— It all started when the Atlntic Coast was swept recently by a tropical hurricane. In a letter to Secretary Wallace, the Senator pointed out that the Weather Bu- reau said that on Sunday of that week the weather would be fine. As a matter of fact, said Kean, “it rained Sunday afternoon and the wind started to blow a gale.” He added that he had been told PIGSKIN CALL ANSWERED BY LARGE SQUADS Ten Coast Conference El- evens ‘Plunge Into First Practice SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 18. Brawny collegians, several hundred strong, answered the pigskin call last Saturday as ten members of the Pacific Coast conference plung- ed into their first practice for the opening games a week away.

Sir Thomas, rank outsider, was second, and C. V.

The Grocers' team is composed of Gunnar Blomgren, Tom George, Nick Bavard, John Hermle and Gus George. The Butchers will line-up with “Chevi” Koski, Abby Garn, ' Bob Wold, George Worth and Jimmy Steele. that the Weather Bureau did not get enough reports from ships at sea. I must point out,” he gravely warned Wallace, “there has been quite a loss of life and also great damage to small pleasure craft owing to the inaccuracy of the information provided by you.” So here anyway is one sort of Republican criticism of the “new deal.” ——ll HOLDS JAMBOREE In place of the customary fall fair, the Western Fair Association, of Alaska, with headquarters inj Anchorage, decided this year to celebrate Labor Day with a two- day jamboree in the Community Hall. The affair consisted of a big dance on Saturday night and another on Monday night. ———— LEWIS CORKISH PASSES After suffering for the last sev- eral years from asthma, Lewis Corkish, long time resident of Anchorage passed away at his home in that city recently, from the effects of the disease.
