Senator Elmer Thomas of Okla- homd, renominated despite vigor- lous opposition from anti-Roosevelt Representative Wesley Disney. Last time, FDR went to Oklahoma to make a speech for Thomas. This |time, he made no move. Representative Dies of Texas, anti-Roosevelt, decided not to seek | renomination; Representative Kié- | berg of Texas, also anti-Roosevelt, was defeated, and Represéntative Patton of Texas faces a run-off. Also, Representatives Costello of California and Starfies of Alabama were defeated. The recent Arkansas primary, re- sulting in Representative Ful- bright’s victory over Mrs. Caraway, was neither a Roosevelt victory nor defeat, since both are his support- ers. Fulbright, however, is an ag- gressive fighter for a broad-gauged peace and will be a real asset to Roosevelt when it comes to battling against the isolationists. COMING SENATE RACES | Next race which Washington is| watching is the Missouri primary | this week. There, America First | leader Senator Bennett Clark, long | 4 bitter Roosevelt foe, suddenly has | hopped on FDR's coat-tails in a| tesperate hope of winning renom- ination. He is opposed by forth-| (right racket-busting Roy McKitt- riek. 3 Other Senate races which the| ‘White House is hoping may tum; out” to be Roosevelt victories are the following: Senator Guy Gillette of Iowa, Democrat, who was opposed by the President in the 1938 purge, will support for re-eelction. i E.

M. Giovanetti, local merchant. Cippola passed through Juneau enroute to Italy from Dawson where he was sent to investigate conditions for the flight of. Italian aviators to the North Pole. The Taku Harbor plant of Libby, McNeill and Libby was giving the Althorp cannery a fight for pack honors. The Libby cannery at this time had 50,000 cases of salmon packed and was to add to it materially before the beginning of the closed season on August 10. Approximately three-fourths of the total bond issue for the erection of a building had been signed up by the Southeast Alaska Fair Association, by President J. F. Mullen, of the association. Horace W. Whitman, old cable man on the U, S. Signal Corps system in Alaska, arrived on the Queen from Sitka with his family and this day become Operator-in-Charge of the local office, succeeding H. W. Frawley, who was to continue in duties here. Mrs. P. McCloskey and daughter Laura, who made the triangle trip on the Queen, arrived home. Mrs. Mae Fosburg, who had been visiting in this city, left on the Princess Louise from Seattle.

Demands that profiteevs and pleasure-seekers be suppréssed will reach Congress but it+will be unable to correct many conditions that couse criti- cism.
