He is Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, one of the toughest free-for-all-fighters in the Senate, who on January 3 began his third consecutive term. To serve three Sen- ate terms may seem commonplace to a public which remembers the Amid the Italian reverses in North Africa and in the “break the Greek bac! campaign, Premier | Benito Mussolini has shaken up| !the Italian Army Command for the third time within two months, Mussolini has dispatched his Chief of Staff, Gen.

But the fact is that while many of the Democrats now in the Senate have served three or more terms, the past decade has seen so many thumping Democratic majorities that only six Republicans can boast that distinction. Vanden- berg is one of them. Unquestionably he became an «elder” statesman only by the skin of his teeth. But he got there. And the chances are that after four more stormy years, the Senator from Michigan still will be promising and perennial presidential timber. TOUGH ELECTIONS Vandenberg was first appointed to fill a Senate vacancy in 1928. Re- election was easy, but thereafter he had to fight the heaviest kind of odds. ‘When he next came up in 1934 he faced the torrential New Deal vote which decimated the GOP in Con- Vandenberg thought he was a sure goner. But by not attacking the New Deal (a maneuver which privately enraged national Republi- can headquarters), ‘Vandenberg skin- ned through by a margin of 53,000 out of more than 1,200,000 votes cast. Last year also the odds were against Vandenberg's election. He it bsiontinhhi e oL (Continued on Page Four) major activities and industries of the Interior in the single system. Tolls Rapped A declaration against the pclicy of collecting tolls on Alaska high- ways is contained in the report, though Hesse says he believes that if this policy has been adopted as a ' mean of collecting revenue it} should in fairness apply to all high- ways alike, instead of as at pmsend to “a part of a single highwa; With reference to a gasoline tax, the report states: “The question of road construction is so inseparable | from the question of taxation that Alaska might as well face the fact now that it costs money to build and maintain roads and that we are the only civilized country 2 the world that exeacts no taxes from the motor vehicles for which the roads are built and maintained.” The tax is described as both scientific and equitable. It “should be adopted| here,” Hesse recommends.
