WHAT HAPPENED AT DAKAR French military circles have nows prought back the inside story of the British fiasco at Dakar when General de Gaulle tried to land but had to turn back. The British had secured secret assurances from the French fleet] that the three cruisers which they let through the Straits of Gibral-| tar Into the Atlantic would co- operate with the British when the British were ready to take over the important naval base at Da- kar. b { However, the French Navy is tra- ditionally anti-British, inclined to be pro-fascist. The French Army, on the other hand, is vigorously pro-British, And the French Navy double-crossed them. So when General de Gaulle ap- peared with British warships just off the Dakar naval base, the French officers, instead.of, giving up to their advance pledge fopened fire. Simultaneously, French colon-| jal troops came rushing down to| the beach, virtually holding out| their hands to the British to send landing parties ashore. | The British did not know the| attitude of the French Army. All| they knew was that the anti- Bnl-; jsh French naval officers had| opened fire. The British had no| way of knowing that their land- ing parties might ' not be fired on also. So de Gaulle and his ill- fated mission sailed for home. NOTE—Admiral Robert, French commander of naval forces at Mar- t.mlque,' is absolutely opposed to to the United States.

Wheeler of| Montana is a Democrat, but he fas made more trouble for Roose- velt than most Republicans, A good part of that trouble has been in- spired by the Senator’s wife, whose ill-will for the President is famous in the Capital. And Roosevelt, in his own way, reciprocates the ill- will, dubbing Mrs. Wheeler “Lady Macbeth.” The big scene in the drama came one night when Senator and Mrs. Wheeler were listening to the news broadcast of Fulton Lewis Jr. The Wheelers happen to be intimate with the Clarks (Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri), who rival them in their dislike of the President and his foreign policy. Therefore, Mrs. Wheeler was amazed when she heard from the radio that Senator Clark intended! to come out for Roosevelt. With fire in her ‘eyes, she turned upon her husband. “I don't believe it,” she cried. “I'm going to call Miriam (Mrs. Clark) and get her to deny it. And if you ever do such a thing, Bur- ton, T'll walk out of the house and leave you!" By this time the radio voice was saying, “And now I have an even greater surprise.” Here Fulton Lewis paused for suspense. “Still another isolationist Senator,” he said, “is coming out for Roosevelt, namely, Burton K. Wheeler of Montana!” What happened in the Wheeler household at that point is not re-| corded, but some days later it was observed that Wheeler's “indorse- ment” of Roosevelt was very mild —nothing stronger than: “From the information available, I understand that the Democgatic ticket will be successful.” The Capital had once again seen the truth of the Kipling refrain, “The female of the species is more deadly than the male.” — SPEEDY, ENUDS! 1 Knudsen! husky produc- wizard of the Deiense Com: AT Liots in the| | tastes, but he has one weakness. | The former General Motors boss | loves to drive fast. After completing some labor ne- gotiations in Lansing, Mich., Knud- sen invited friends to drive back with him to Detroit in his Cadillac. One of the guests sat in front with ‘t,he chauffeur, and shortly noticed ! that telegraph poles were flitting by with unusual speed. Glancing at the speedometer, he nearly fainted to see the needle pointing at 107 miles an hour. Knudsen was chatting calmly in the back seat, and the front- seat guest, although scared out of casual observation: “Bill, are the speedometers on these cars accu- rate?” Knudsen leaned forward, studied the meter intently, then settling back in his seat replied: “Yes, they’re accurate, but not so reliable over 95.” MERRY-GO-ROUND Several outstanding British la- bor leaders soon will come to the United States at the invitation of American labor leaders, to give first hand accounts of British La- bor’s role in the war, . . .

EXTEND THANKS The Women’s Voluntary Services Committee wish to thank all those who have contributed so generously to the collection of warm clothing for the refugees of England. People who have been very thoughtful in contributing not only clothing but also money will be interested to know that the money will be used for transportation and perhaps also for wool or material for children’s garments. We wish to thank the women in both Juneau and Douglas who have given their time to the work of sort- ing the clothes and also those who have volunteered to sew and put the garments in order. Particularly do we thank the Triangle Cleaners and the Alaska Laundry for offering to clean and press the clothes; the oanks and moving picture houses for temmporarily storing them; the public schools and Boy Scouts for colecting; the newspapers and radio broadcasting station for giving out the notices; the Estebeth and Alaska Transport system for offering to bring in the things from outlying districts; and Mrs. A.
