During | those years I have borne the flag with pride because I thought the President himself constituted a dy- namic leader in this historic con- flict of this country and of the| world. I venture to say I carried | the flag over rougher territory than was ever traversed by any Majority | Leader. Sometimes I carried the flag with little help here on the Senate floor and more often with | less help than from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue,” referring to the White House. After Senator Barkley finished, every Democrat and Republican in | the Senate filed by his desk inj front of the chamber to shake his| hand. Vice President Henry A. Wallace, who presided during Barkley's re- marks slipped out of the Chamber | when the session ended. MRS, ROSNESS IS SPEAKER AT TOWNSEND CLUB.

E. Almquist, brief re- ma were made by Chris Hen- nings, World War veteran, A. B. Cain and Charles Raatikaanen of Pelican City.
