Vewspaper Representa- Angeles, Portland, GEORGE A. Wellington, 1011 Victory for All (New York Times) One of the strangest of wars is now going on along the Outer Mongolia-Manchukuo frontier. It is both undeclared and practically self-liquidating. The par- ticipants, Russia and Japan, with some Mongolian: I mixed in, seem to be well satisfied with it. | It is raging in a thoroughly out-of-the-way corner of the world where it cannot attract a great deal of attention. Perhaps wars would be better wars if they attracted less attention. They would start later and lend sooner. There would be less “war psychology,” and men would not be so willing to shoot each other. But this war along the Khalka River has other ~ ' unusual characteristics, clearly set forth in the official | reports issued at Tokyo and Moscow. There are no {many wars in which both sides can win every battle !but that seems to be happening in Outer Mongolia A formen it Cleveland?—com- | yporeover, there is a convenient arrangement by which plained of having Congress on his hands.

Casualties dent’s second term as these were, defying the authority | seem to run in a remarkable ratio of about one for President was of the executive and going their own way without | consulting him. A long line of eight-year adminis- trations illustrates the pont It has been assumed that no President would seek a third term and, therefore, as the eighth year ap-| proaches, the White House loses the magic that has been part of the picture through the seven years before. This time we may see the anti-third term precedent broken, but the tradition of a Presi- dent’s increasing weakness as the election year ap- proaches is still potent. The spectacle of a Congress exercising its new | independence is the more striking because of the| tightness of the President’s grip during the earlier| years of his administration. Had party majorities | in these last four Congresses been more nearly normal the caontrast would have been less marked. Now Congressmen, with comparatively few legis= lative “musts” before them, are hoping for adjourn- ment of the session some time this week. And what- ever be the intensity of their hope, the hope that they adjourn soon is even more intense at the White House. After adjournment there will not be another ses- sion until January, unless the President finds it nec- essary to call a special one. The development of a grave situation abroad might inspire such a call. It is possible that a breakdown of Federal relief might precipitate it. As for the present dying session little that the leaders consider essential legislation remains to be attended to. Senator Barkley, Senate majority leader, urges his colleagues to stick to their desks in order to obviate the necessity of quorum calls and make all possible haste toward adjournment. The plan of anti- Administration members to prolong the session lest the President’s foreign policy, in the absence of Con- gress, should lead America into trouble seems to have been abandoned. Now that all factions agree that early adjourn- ment is desirable, there should be no difficulty in bringing it about { the victor compared to seven for the loser. Destruc- tion of aircraft is particularly heavy, yet each side seems to keep the mastery of the air. To date the Japanese may be a bit ahead on imagination, but the ns can be relied upon for a counter-attack. | Perhaps there has never been another war just like touch | it The “Average” Governor (Cincinnati Enquirer) The Governors of the United States. avershadowed as they have been by Federal Government, enjoy na- tional prominence in only a few instances. Most Leopi€ would be hard put to it to name as many as five of the 48. The average knowledge encompasses only the Governor of the home state, the chief executive of a neighboring state or two, and one or two of the state heads who have for one reason or another been in the national news more than their fellows. What is the average Governor like? A study by the Council of State Governments makes available a composite picture of him. He is about 51 years old a Democrat, lawyer, father of three children, 2nd draws an annual salary of $7916. He is serving his first term, and beforehand was a member of the State Legislature. In age the chief executives of the states range between 33—Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota and 80—Luren D. Dickinson of Michigan. A goodly number of Governors are relatively young, 12 being 45 or under. Fourteen are 56 or older, and 22 are be- tween the ages of 46 and 55. One reason, of course, why the average Governor is an unfamiliar figure outside his own state is the rather rapid turnover of the average officeholder. In only 11 of the states at the present time have the Governors held the office previously. Governor Her- bert H. Lehman of New York is the “dean,” having served four straight terms. Two others, A Harry Moore of New Jersey and Robert L. Cochran of Ne- braska, are serving their third terms. Seventeen of the states have a constitutional limitation upon the number of terms a Governor may serve. Thirteen of those prevent a Governor from succeeding himself. Just when almost everyone was convinced that Nazi officials say large bodies of men sent into East Prussia recently are there to help with the har- vest work. The world, however, hasn't heard of any German swords being beaten into plows the prohibition era had definitely ended, Federal of- ficials in Boston confiscated a supply of ‘“cocktails” consisting of hair tonic, bay rum and water.
