FISHING SAM RAYBURN Pet hobby of Sam Rayburn is fishing. And when he was elevated to Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives a friend presented him with a handsome rod and reel. Elated as a schoolboy with a new bicycle, Sam couldn’'t wait to try out the gift at a favorite angling spot in Chesapeake Bay, But his joy was short-lived. Hardly had he cast when a big bluefish snapped at the bait. In his anxiety to make the catch, Sam dropped the tackle overboard. Ordinarily, Speaker Rayburn is an even-tempered man. He rarely blows up, but this was an excep- tion. For the next five minutes the ozone sizzled as Sam, in unvay- nished Texicana, deplored his :ll- fortung,” He was still grumbling about it the nexi day when he 1elated his experience to colleagues, Sam figured that was the end of the matter, but he was wrong. A few hours after the story got around, messengers from Wash- ington sporting goods stores began arriving at his office, each bearing new fishing equipment. Before the day was over, seven rods and reels were received from sympathetic friends. | The last was brought in person by Representative Jack Cochran of| Missouri. Rayburn wasn't in, so Cochran, grinning, left this mes- sage: “Tell Sam this is a non-| sinkable rod.” LOCAL AIR BASES The Army Air Corps isn't saying| anything publicly, but it is making| a quiet survey of all airports in the country for the purpose of lo- cating new bases and training cen- | ters. Objective behind the plan is to secure the greatest possible disper- sion of air forces necessary for de- fense.

Therefore, we must report further that there is increasing fear inside the U. 8. Army and Navy that Britain cannot hold out against Hitler. In fact, the Britisn situation, at the present writing, must be des- cribed as desperate. This conclusion is based upon the fact that in the past week Nazi planes have assumed complete con- rule them. 3 (Copyright, 1940) LR | the British to carry the war into the camp of the enemy as never before. U. S. military strategists figure that England’s slow prepar- edness start never can catch up with the Nazis; therefore best Brit- ish strategy is to continue to rain bombs over Hamburg and Berlin. To this end they would also like to get the famous bembsight which the Army and Navy have perfected and which is supposed to be the most accurate in the world.
