Too much credit can not be given to the retiring commo- dore, Everett W.

Last Saturday’s luncheon was a testimony to the hold the Yacht Club has upon its members and also the hold that the lunches (symphonies of Swiss _ steaks; glorious accomplishments of cherry pie), evolved by the gen- ius of Doc Clemmer, has upon the members. Colonel James D. MacMullen, who will always be remembered as the driving force that made the club: possible, sends from his present distant station an ap- preciated letter and a fine por- trait of himself. |Home.

Dr. Gallup’s latest published es- timate is 245 to 265 Democrats. Democratic leaders in the House estimate 240. A number of in- formed practical Demoerats out- side of Congress say the number of Democrats will be as Jow as 225. In reaching a conclusion on this difficult estimate, two factors must be considered. First, is the THE KEY WEST OITIZEN WEST FOR = ye és MOBILE X-RAY UNIT WILL BE USED IN KEY TUBERCULOSIS EXAMINATIONS ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED tc bring the mobile X-ray unit of the Division of Tuberculosis, State Board of Health (shown above), to Monroe County.

Some of the farm bloc group contended that the executive order, thus interpreted, mination of the issue involwed de- spite a ruling by torney-Gen- eral Biddle upholding the right to include subsidy payments in determining maximum prices. We do not intend, at this time, to go into the merits of the ar- gument, but call attention to the fact that the Senate farm bloc, and |Cepted in Congress as a matter President's | 1 had repealed congressional deter- | attitude of the public.

Until the news came from tion of price policies, is running into the clear-cut opposition of a substantial majority of the people of this country. There is a general impression, throughout the United States that the nation has suffered serious injury from the activities of various blocs in Congress. The sentiment is rap- idly mounting in favor of offi- cials who will not be intimidat- ed. Regardless of the merits of a particular controversy, the gen- eral public is inclined against any bloc which attempts to apply political pressure for its selfish gains. “ The farmers of the United States can secure economic jus- tice only if their representatives can make out a plausible case which will convince the three- fourths of the population who are not agriculturalists. To threaten responsible administra- tors is not to advancé a reason to overthrow their positions and it tends to persuade people who are not familiar with all of the facts involved that undue reli- ance is being placed upon polit- ical pressure. Consequently, there was a fav- orable popular reaction when Mr. Jeffers, in charge of the rub- ber program, practically defied the Senate farm bloc. Much the same reaction will greet Leon Henderson's statement that “if the Senator thinks I'm not going to take the action indicated by Japan that American airmen, who participated in the April 18 attack on Tokyo had been “se- verely punished” for their parti- cipation in the raid, the people of the United States were under the impression that General Doolittle’s bombing expedition had been carried out without the loss of any American plane or an American airman, except for the plane and the crew which landed in Siberia. ee About a month after the raid, when General Doolittle was dec- orated on May 19, he reported} that no plane had been shot down | and that none “was damaged to} an extent that precluded its pro-! ceeding to its destination.” Now, | the War Department is compell- | ‘ed to admit that several planes} were involved in forced landings | lin China and that they have} been carried as “missing.” There is criticism that the War iDepartment should have an- nounced these facts before Tok- lyo, and silence as to the fate of our planes is attributed to the policy of withholding bad news. While Doolittle’s statement, re- | ferring to “destination,” seems to |be misleading, it may have been | intended to prevent the Japan- }ese from searching for the planes jand crews that “were involved in forced landings ‘in China.” | .
