For in nce, both political parties have pledged them- selves to extend protection provided under the social security law. Also, the AFL, many employers, and some Congressmen have demanded am- endment of the Natienal Lapor Re- lations act. And opponents of the dministration’s farm program have pointed to recent crop referenda as proof that the AAA must be chang- ed. Reorganization and anti-lynching bills, centers of hot fights in '38, may bob up pgain, and the wobbly rail- road structure will get congressional attention, b Politics The new year is likely to be one of political evolution. When the revit- alized Republican minority in Con- gress tangles with the Democrats on such subjects as relief, spending, la- bor policy, social security, and mon- opoly, both sides will be consider- ing hew the arguments will affect their position in 1940.

For several months a company had been working out of Juneau, photographing the gorgeous moun- ains and wastelands of ice for in- clusion in the picture. The story is one of human and animal love and affection, with one | paralleling the other—-the love of a man for his woman, and of a fine, courageous dog for his mate. “Swift Lightning” is the name of the dog. a dog of such hardiness and loyalty as only the frontiers breed, a'dog to whom no obstacle is great enough to prevent him from R PERFECT, forcareerasN. ¥, | fashion model is Kay Burner, 21, of Seattle, says Talent Scout Arthur O'Neill, She's 57," | weighs 118, has 34 bust, 23 waist, and size 6! shoe.
