Fort Richardson means ever so much more to us than Elmendorf Field, though we have no doubt that Capt. Hugh Elmenderf of New York, who was killed in an airplane accident at Wright Field in 1933, was a very fine offi and gentleman But “Colonel Dick” Richardson was of the North, just as Fort Richardson is. He was a Lieutenant of Infantry at Chilkoot Barracks before he was pro- moted to Major and made President of the Alaska Road Commission in 1905. Under his direction the Valdez Trail was developed into Alaska’'s greatest highway, linking the heart of the Territory with its uier perimeter.

This little Alaska ship, | which we have seen in our port many times, is doing the hard work for the Byrd party. And when it comes back from the Antarctic for a few months it does not enjoy the rest and repose which it merits after its labors, but returns at once to business as usual, freighting to the remote stations along zhei' Alaskan coast. The Bear too has seen service in Alaska. It is the same Bear which visited these waters many times as the revenue cutter Bear. But the doughty little North Star is the ship which is making history in connection with the ex- ploration of a new continent. Hats off to our Al- aska vessel and Alaska seamen.

WALLACE SEEKS JOB Henry Wallace came back from his hectic vice-presidential campaign looking considerably older. Not many people realized it, but he had been on the electoral warpath continu- ocusly since August, making ten to twelve short speeches a day, and five to six major addresses a week. There was no part of the coun- try which he did not cover, and the surprising showing which Roosevelt made in the farm belt undoubtedly was due in part to Henry Wallace. Wallace's friends are now urging him to take a vacation. Instead he is looking for a new job to tide him over between now and the time he takes the oath of office as Vice- President of the United States. Beginning then—January 20 -+ Wallace will draw a salary of $15,- 000. But until then he is hard up. His salary as Secretary of Agricul- ture stopped last August, and his expenses since then have been heavy. 1In fact, he doesn’t have quite enough on hand to keep the children in college. So the new Vice President prob- ably will write a few magazine arti- cles and fill a few lecture engage-| ments.

Few people know it, a time of unprec campaign. It dragged him down luring his Cleveland speech, and it was because of this that the Presi- lential train from Cleveland to Washington crept along at a snail’s pace. Dr. McIntyre, the White House physician, wanted Roosevelt to rest and knew that if the train got to Washington early in the merning he would be up and at work. So the train arrived at noon. EXIT FANNY Miss Frances Perkins, idealistic but sometimes inept Secretary of Labor, will not be in the third Roo- sevelt Cabinet, She will be replaced as part of the Presidentt’s plan to put an end to AFL-CIO warring and to bring about unification of the two organ- izations. No. 1 on the President’s list for Miss Perkins' successor is George Harrison, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks and a vigorous advocate of labor peace. With Dan Tobin, head of the AFT teamsters and a former White House Secretary, Harrison was ac- tive in the 1939 negotiations to bring the two camps together. Miss Perkins is on moderately good terms with both the AFL and CIO, and actually her Department is one of the best run in the Government. But neither laborites nor industry give her any credit for this, and she also has a failing for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Inside fact is that Miss Perkins offered her resignation last spring, but Roosevelt declined it to avoid a scramble for the job with a cam- paign approaching. Now the way is clear to use her | replacement to further labor peace, which he is determined to effect ac part of the National Defense pro- sram. John L. Lewis, No. 1 obsta- fe cle to this, already has eliminated | himself when he bolted the CIO and plumped for Willkie. Other Labor Department changes ‘ontemplated are the promotion of Dan Tracy, former AFL vice presi- ‘um Secretary, and appointment of Van Bittner, head of the West Uniteq Mine Workers is. wied o pressure ipto opst s predict dxpn However vigorously partisan the nation may be until have purpose after that date. is electing a President of all the people, to serve in, fense for our great democracy is in turn enjoyed the support of the vast major- The campaign of 1936 was none but aiter eiection day President Roosevelt general confidence which was not e ill-starred effort to reorganize the iled came in times of world tran- 1 such times, the American people dent onstrated their capacity for solidarity after a presi- they certainly are'capable, in the developments, of presenting ter the current campaign is ended. campaign bitterness will cease to After all, the nation | edent need for nauonal unity. ! tentate will be followed by the re-| placement of William Green as AFL head. ELECTION SOUVENIRS The day after the President’s speech in Brooklyn, the last Friday night of the campaign, an enterpris- ing Pennsylvania novelty manufac- turer marketed a button reading, “A Pauper for Roosevelt.” Selling at 25 cents apiece, over 250,000 were sold in the remaining three days befdie election . . . In the 1932 cam- paign, one of the President’s most trusted advisers was Swager Sher- ey, astute World War chairman of the House Appropriations Commit- tee. Unlike many others, Sherley did not attempt to capitalize on his friendship after Roosevelt was elected, but went back to his law practice, saw the President only when sent for. One of these times was the closing weeks of the recent campaign, when Roosevelt sent a hurry call for Sherley to backstop Chairman Ed Flynn at National Committee headquarters in New York. i PURGED PURGER John J. O’'Connor, the anti-New Deal New York Congressman who was the sole victim of the famous 1938 “purge,” got his revenge this election. Despite the Rooseveit sweep in New York, Representative James H. Fay, who eliminated O'Connor in 1938 and became a White House fa- vorite, was nosed out by his Re- publican opponent—and it was John O'Connor’s quiet work that did the trick. Fay was tfle only Democrat de- feated in his district. The entire ticket, from President on down to State Assemblymen, piled up heavy pluralities. Yet strong New Dealer Fayv lost by 2500 votes to ardent Willkie-ite William T. Pheiffer, who is unknown to most of the voters of his own neighborhood. A Tex- an, Pheiffer has lived in New York less than two years. Reason for his close victory was that O'Connor, defeated by Fay in A “comeback® primary campaign last sprinz, sent word down th to his Democratic followers | don. ill be stimulated by early Jholi- ’ shopping, Hotels and * -i its will profit tnrough incpe d patronage as the ‘“eat, drink and be merry” spirit has a speclal sig-! nificance National Issues: Economy will be preached as federal expenditures increase.

The story behind the story is this. Secretary Knox prepared his| speech and, as is customary, al-| lowed the Navy press information department to release “the o!flcial’ text” in advance. The rub came when the Secretary, speaking with-/ out notes, made his speech a good deal more forceful than the “of-| ficial text.” The defense commis- sion, which must base much of its program on departmental policies, has been calling all over Wash- ington to try to find some one who made a stenographic transcript of| the Secretary’s address.
