No more can the Roosevelt Administration hope to carry out its program by putting its avowed enemies in important posts in the war program. The war program should be non-political. But non-political means non-political. It doesn't mean that men like Paul MeNutt and Leon Hender- son should appoint Republican politicians to office instead of Democratic politicians. You can't blame the Senators and Congressmen for objecting when they see their political enemies being given jobs by the Administration ’ You can’t blame them for protesting when they see bitter New Deal haters put into office, while friends of the New Deal are ignered. | In Georgia, for one example, Leon Henderson gave the job of Chief of the OPA Rationing Division to Harry Sommers, treasurer of the Republican State | Committee | In Pennsylvania, McNutt appointed an ultra- | conservative, Louis B F.

Walker, chief of the Biological Survey for Alaska, returned from Petersburg where he had been attending the meeting for permanent organization of fox farmers. A substantial shipment of raw furs from 'El}'x'lz\. Ohio, received, on the Spokane by Charles Goldstein, is evidence of the local market’s standing, said Mr. Goldstein. This was the third successive year that these shippers had found it profitable to ship to Juneau. Award of the Distinguished Service Medal was made to Col. J. C.
