Asked directly if Mcnu*tt would be free to campaign for the presidency, the President he did think running for the presidency anymore were a possible dozen others of the a administration. The President asked question, are they, any of them, active ing their own candidacies. The President then indicated that none of those of the administration, without mention of names, is doing other performing the duties of their office though of course all have friends who are now proposing their names. The President was asked: "Will the several young men of the administration with a presidential urge be privileged to conduct an active campaign?" "Charming Young Men." The President, in reply, referred to there athene more charming strongly young indicated that the several of the administration who may be mentioned for President will not personally campaign for delegates though of course will be no restraint on their friends being active. The President evidently does not intend that any of his appointees, ambitious to be his successor, shall be devoting their time chasing from state to state after delegates that, to win their spurs, they must stick on the job and let their record speak for possible promotion.
discounting political implications, but with newspapermen skeptical, the President, explained that Mr. Mcnu*tt was picked to head the Federal Security Agency because he has demonstrated administrative ability. The President said that Paul Mcnu*tt has had practical experience AS an administrator, as governor of Indiana and as high commissioner to the Philippines, and that he had made good in all jobs. It was high praise from the President. The President answered in the affirmative woman reporter inquired if Mcnu*tt is an exponent of the liberal principles that underlie the philosophy of the social security act.
The President, explaining further why Mcnu*tt, experienced in government administration, had been selected made the observation that there have been several tragedies in placing business men, successful in conducting their own particular business, in high government offfice because they did not understand the relationship between different parts of the government and often had the handicap of geographical. experience. "Do you mean to say no political considerations guided this appointment?" shot a bold newspaper questioner. It was then the President commented there are times when there are considerations other than politics, though newspapermen were prone to read politics into everything. Following the conference different groups of newspapermen went into huddles figure out the meaning of some the words of the President.

The extreme liberals, the die-hard New Dealers who' are confounded by the President giving Mcnu*tt official recognition for a second time, like to take the view that the President has "bottled up" the Mcnu*tt ambition and that the President will thus be able to keep himself in position to accept nomination if he wants it; that becomes inactive and President does not need to show until near the time this for the convention. Mcnu*tt's friends, however, consider that his opportunity the nomination has been advanced until he is now in the forefront, providing Mr. Roosevelt does not renominate himself.
Perhaps the predominate opinion of newspapermen is that Mcnu*tt, though without from the President, is now definitely in the "crown prince" position.

By the transfer of the drivers and the meter checkers, there would be left on the present police force, including officers, forty-two men.

France and Britain have chosen "the French Fourth of Day, next Friday--to show off their joint military power. Plans for the demonstration were approved yesterday by the French cabinet and even while the cabinet was in session, 200 maneuvering British bombers flew from England to Bordeaux and back on a practice flight which further demonstrated the close collaboration of the two powers. The Bastille Day plans are to give the French national holiday an unusual British flavor. British officials will stand with President Lebrun and the French cabinet to watch 30,000 troops, the pick of France's home colonial forces, and a crack battalion of English soldiers parade. About 50 British planes will join 100 of the French air force in a review.

The Literary Guidepost By JOHN SELBY "NORTHERN LIGHTS," by Desmond Hold(Viking: Desmond Holdridge is author of the out-of-doors book which is our text for today. In fact, "Northern Lights" is second version of the same story he has written, and in this fact lies a good deal of the reason Mr.
Holdridge is the adventurer he is. The first story he wrote about the Dolphin's trip up the coast of Labrador was for an obscure yachting magazine now extinct; Holdridge believes that perhaps his detailed account of all the adverse tides and usual nautical happenings killed it. In the story he frankly admits that he allowed the reader to assume, by inference, that he was an experienced sailor of reasonably mature years and no mention was made of the numerous mistakes and misfortunes which were, in way, the features of the voyage. The fact is that when Dolphin sailed into the northern lights with Holdridge, Robbie and Niels aboard, its skipper, so-called, was a smoothfaced lad under twenty. Holdridge bought his little boat in a Nova Scotia yard, and that probably was a mistake, although the boat was not intrinsically a bad boat, merely unsuited to the demands made on her.
The new owner, in the second place, had not sufficient money for the trip. He had no real objective. He had no experience in sail worth the name. And he was pretty co*cky. He was SO co*cky that he almost got himself and his crew killed.
At one point on the trip he decided that the one-lung engine in the Dolphin was useless; sailing ships should sail, he declaimed. He forgot, of course, that poking into the fjords of Labrador made some sort of motor indispensable. When kindly and experienced navigators tried to suggest that he changes his plan, he was a little bumptious. And SO the trip wore on. There were a good many adventures and in the book there is a good deal about the people, the land and the personal stresses and strains aboard the Dolphin that the first account omits.
There is the almost incredible adventure of Niels, for one. The Danish fellow got himself lost and wandered without food for nearly weeks in the bleakest of northern territories before, by luck, some fishers saw him and got him to a hospital. This is rather a nice job it speaks volumes for author who can honestly confess the mistakes of 15 years ago, and write objectively about 80 distant a cruise. PLANE LANDS ON ROAD, GETS GAS AND LEAVES Novary, July 11 (P)-Howard Anderson, gas truck driver, was surprised when he saw an airplane land in the highway in front of him, but he could hardly believe his eyes when a pilot stepped out and begged "a little gasoline" from him. "I ran into headwinds and my gas was falling rapidly to zero indicators saw your truck on the highway," explained Pilot Al Gillis.
"I knew you probably were loaded with gas and if I could follow you and land in front of you I could replenish my supply. But traffic the opposite direction was so heavy had hard time choosing a moment to land when the be clear." After tanking up from Anderson's tank, Gillis took off, using the highway for a runway.

Delay Voted, 12 to 11. All kinds of things could happen in the meantime, he said, and if there should be grave international developments within that period, Congress would find it extremely difficult to revise the neutrality act in the face of an existing war. He was asked about the possibility of his calling a special session if war should break out, and replied by pointing out that that too would involve action after a war had begun.
As for actual plans for a special session or a request that Congress be kept in session until it disposes of the neutrality issue, 1 he said he had no announcements to make today. The committee, taking its first formal vote on the subject, had decided, 12 to 11, to defer action until the next session of Congress- a decision which was directly contrary to the wishes President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull. Two Democratic committeemen, George of Georgia and Gillette of Iowa, whom the administration sought to "purge" in last year's primary elections and who held the balance of power in the committee, voted for the postponement. At the same time, the committee agreed to take up on Friday a resolution which would empower President Roosevelt to lay a flat embargo on shipments of munitions, oil and metals to Japan. Chairman Pittman Nev.) was highly confident the measure would be approved and quickly passed by Congress.
The committee's action on neutrality sent Pittman and Sentaor Barkley to the White House afternoon conference with the President, grimly told newsmen that the battle would go on.

POLITICAL PACT Continued From First Page. agency that covers all social security activities, Mcnu*tt will be taking over direction of the major instrument of New Deal policy and of a great administrative staff reaching into every nook and corner of the country. Favors Strong Foreign Attitude. The other major Roosevelt policy involves a strong foreign attitude.
As high commissioner Philippines, Mcnu*tt has brought home with him at least one platform plank on which he proposes to seek elevation to the White House. He is against a "scuttle and run" policy in the Far East. After conferences with the President on his return from islands, Commissioner Mcnu*tt urged reconsideration of the Philippine independence question and said: "So long as our flag flies there, the Philippines will be the cornerstone of peaceful reconstruction in the Far East." He called for a "realistic re-examination" of the independence question "without too great loss of time and with co-operation of the leaders among the Filipinos." It goes without saying that the issue of Philippine independence, in the light of changed world conditions since passage the act providing complete independence in 1946, will importance in the next administration." The formula solution satisfactory to the Filipinos and to "the long range interests" of this country takes on the appearance of a Roosevelt administration trial balloon. Whatever may be in the President's mind with relation to the 1940 campaign, it has been increasingly clear to political observers for weeks that Mcnu*tt was becoming an important personage in the political future. He has classed himself as a middle-ofthe-road man and his campaign managers have designed their publicity to show him as one who has no bitter party foes and who offers great promise as a party harmony candidate.
In selecting Mcnu*tt for the security agency, President Roosevelt has given him a definite New Deal gesture of approval-and an opportunity between now and the 1940 conventions to make himself known nationally as a forceful administrator. His Indiana citizenship is useful in geographical sense, since the middle-West weep bids fair to be the election battle ground of next year. All told, Mcnu*tt stock has boomed for 1940, either as a vice-presidential candidate on a Roosevelt ticket or as a presidential candidate with Roosevelt approval. In either case he is in a strategic position to assume leadership of the party in 1944.

The "skin" of the bud shreds and forms an orchid-colored, hairlike calyx for the blossom. The genus plant is most common to Mexico and the southwestern United States, and is considered remarkable for its singularity of form and the beauty of its blossoms, which issue a pleasing fragrance. Mrs. Terry said she found the orphan plant when she moved into a formerly vacant house twelve years ago. A salesman explained the characteristics of the plant and said they did not blossom until eight years old.
Sure enough, in 1935, it bore one blossom. In 1936 it had two, and has had one additional until this year it overwhelmed its owner. Mrs. Terry explained that the plant might be re-grown by merely planting the leaves, but hastily added that few people cared to wait eight years for a plant to blossom. She said she gave it no special care, and treated it as any other plant.
