Term Plans.
Washington, Jan. 8.<TJP)—
President Roosevelt, carefully
shielding his third-term plan3,
tonight warned Democratic
leaders that the party must
cling to New Deal policies
which attracted independent
voters in 1932 and 1936 if it
is to win in 1940.
Speaking directly to the
cream of the capital’s Democ-
racy at a $100-a-plate Jackson
day dinner and to thousands of
radio listeners at similar func-
tions throughout the nation,
the president defended the
achievements of his adminis-
tration and said they must not
be "chipped away.”
The American people, he
said, recognize two facts to-
day: *
1. That the world outside
our hemisphere is “in really
had shape." He said that this
fact is so big that few people
have grasped its meaning and
so big that “our little partisan
squabbles are shameful in the
light of it."
“These gains most not be
chipped away; they must be
only a foundation on which to
build further gains,” he said.
"Behind us lies accomplished
a really big job. It was the
creation out' of thefunkof
early thirties of a new spirit
with which we can now face
the forties.”
Although his remarks were
good-humored, Mr. Roosevelt’s
■warning that the Democratic
party must continue to earn
the support of libera! Repub-
licans, Progressives and others
who clocked to its standard in
1932 and remained there in
1936 was blunt and forceful.

sleeping their way oul of the
cotton surplus problem?
Cotton fabric, food and
twine products used by Texans
have increased from eight
items in 1920 to 19 Texas-
manufactured products in
1940, Mrs. Louise Armstrong,
University of Texas instructor
in home economics, points out.
Currently on display -at the
University is the entire gamut
of uses for "domesticated cot-
ton.”
Texans are eating their cot-
ton in corn sticks, spice cook-
ies, muffins, doughnuts, and
bread. Resipes, compiled for
the exhibit by the home eco-
nomies department, call for a
yellow-colored flour made
from partially defatted, cook-
ed cotton seed. From hydro-
genated cottonseed oil leading
Texas manufacturers are mak-
ing cooking fats and salad oils.
Cotton materials, manufac-
tured only as canvas, ducks,
osnaburg, and ticking in 1920,
are now turned out in an array
of weaves and colors to be
worn to school, dances, to play
and work by men, women and
children. Texans are sleep-
ing on staple cotton felt mat-
tresses, covered with cotton
sheets, blankets, and bed-
spreads, walking on ty/tfe
rugs. eating from cotton
table covers, and looking
through cotton-draped win-
dows.
While this increased domes-
tication of cotton is pushing
down the line of surplus. Uni-
versity chemurgists continue
their research. Accepted last
month by the Board of Regents
a Mellon Institute grant of
$500 to be matched by a re-
search committee fund, was
added to the budget for scien-
tific study aimed to lengthen
the I960 cotton products list.

The department of justice an-
nounced today that a thor-

agents had disclosed no evi-

of Boulder dam or its ap-

The department’s statement
apparently was brought on by
rumors over the week-end that
a plot to destroy or damage
the dam had been uncovered.

UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K. Shearer, United Press Staff Correspondent)
Austin, Texas. (UP)—The
“professional politicians" are
after “Pappy” O’Daniel as
election year opens in Texas.
They do not concede that the
man who cinched the gover-
norship in the first primary
election of 1938 on a promise I
of $30-for-all-over-65, is as-
sured of re-election.
The wave of popularity that
sent W. Lee O'Daniel into the
governor’s office is now being j
dissected and analyzed by
those who direct campaigns.
To begin with, they conclude
that O’Danie! has no chance to
be made the Democratic nomi-
nee in the first primary of
1940. “He received only 52 per
cent of the vote' in the first pri-
mary of 1938,” one of the men
closely connected with the
race of a strong candidate last
time points out, and argues
that O’Daniel certainly has lost
many times two per cent of
the people who supported him
because of pension promises.
O’Daniei’s vote was 573,166.
The vote of his nearest compe-
titor, Col. Ernest O. Thompson,
was 231,630 and the combined
vote of 12 opponentswas 541,-
719.
—UP—
- Against the loss of votes
from disappointed advocates
of bigger pensions for more
people, the “professional poli-
ticians” concede that there is
a certain strength gained by
any governor running for a
second term that he did not
have in his first race. This sec-
ond term courtesy, however,
was barely able to save so pop-
ular a governor as James V.
Allred from having a run-off
with Tom F. Hunter in 1936.
The second term slogan fail-
ed also to re-elect "Ma” Fergu-
son anu it failed to re-elect
Ross S. Sterling.
—UP—
- Having thus satisfied them-
selves that Pappy will not have
the re-election biscuits passed
to him in the first primary of
1940, the “professional politi-
cians” consider his chances in
the run-off primary not alto-
gether bright.
Here's the way they see it.
An opponent who gets into a
run-off with O’Daniel will at-
tract in August most of the
vote that scattered for candi-
dates who were defeated in
the July primary. They con-
cede O’Daniel the financial
campaign chest and moral sup-
port of big business in the
first primary election because
if business' satisfaction with
‘he present tax stalemate.
When it gets to a run-off be-
ween two candidates, the po-

Legion Commander
Urges Continuation
of Dies Activities
San Diego, Jan, 8. (UP)—
Raymond J. Kelly, of Detroit,
national commander of the
American Legion, today advo-
cated continuation of the Dies
committee’s investigation of
,un-American activities.
He said the Legion is in fa-
vor of continuing the investi-
gations.
Kelly said the Legion would
continue to work for the de-
portation of Harry Bridges,
despite the fact that an investi-
gation found the West Coast
labor leader was “not a com-
munist.”
“The Legion believes it
highly important under pres-
ent conditions that a status of
industrial peace be reached in
the United States,” he said.
“Today, more than at any
time in our history, peace
should prevail between the
employer and the employe.”

PREDICTS HITLER WILL

DIVIDED INTO SMALL
STATES
London. (UP)—Tom Camp-
bell, Irish ex-laborer who
claims occulp powers and is
known to Londoners as the
“man with the news-reel
mind,” predicts that Adolf
Hitler will be assassinated by
a “friend” who at present is
his trusted adviser.
Campbell also claims that
his powers of "seeing” into the
future tell him the European
war will not last as long as the
World War. He predicts it
will end with the division of
Germany into a series of small
states.
For those who might ascribe
Campbell's predictions to
wishful thinking he offers this
record:
Last May, London newspa-
pers published Tom’s “war in
five months’ time” prophecy
which brought ridicule upon
him. The prophecy came true.
Later, by popular request, the
Irishman worked himself into
a trance and "saw” the sinking
of a British battleship (the
Royal Oak subsequently was
sunk), the Russian advance in-
to Poland and the Rnssian in-
vasion of Finland,
According to Campbell’s
latest prophecy, unrest in Ger-
many, followed by an armed
uprising, will lead to restora-
tion of the monarchy. Peace
will come soon after and Ger-
many will be divided into a
.series of small states.
“I saw Hitler’s end,” Camp-
bell asserted. “Yessir, I saw
him in conference. There were
seven or eight uniformed men
seated around a table, bat the
only one I could identify was1
the Fuehrer. Suddenly one of

Washington. (UP) — The
American Automobile Associa-

for the 1940 automobile license
plates are as varied as the poli-
tical banners at the quadren-

Among the more unusual
hues, the AAA reports in a sur-
vey of color combinations for
the new tags, were Idaho’s
greer. on gold, Illinois' cream

and Pennsylvania’s ultra-

Puerto Rican plates have the
only three-color plate with pa-
triotic red on white and blue.
The AAA denotes a further
trend in the direction of indi-
vidualizing plates with spe-
cial designs, shapes or slogans.
