Relatives of Dahack telephon ed last night that they had two more witnesses to appear before the grand jury, and the request was granted.

Washington, Dec. 15. The real political events are taking place, not here in Washington, but out in the districts, where local leaders are busily prepar ing for 1940. A good sample of the kind of thing that will. in aggregate, shape the future is the fence-building tour of Pennsylvania from, which Sen ator Joseph F.- Guffey was re cently returned. Poor Joe Guffey, who used to be the Great Guffey, satrap of the second state in the Union, third man in the Democratic party, must be pretty crestfallen now. Unless the Pennsylvania Democrats are deceiving their friends and one another, the Guffey reception was not en thusiastic. In Monroe countv. long faithfully Democratic, Joe solicited the county leader. Judge Samuel Shull, for sur port in his campaign for re nomination to the senate. Judge Shull is reported to have re sponded, "I not only won't sup port you; if no one else runs against you, I will." Others, while less frank than the pep pery judge, are understood to nave oeen no more encourag ing. At the National Capitol With John W. Kelly I Continue from Faa Ona.) materials obtained from mail order houses. Opposition to new metnods of construction and ma. terials which would reduce the cost of a house. One of the principal mail order houses of the countrv planned a low-cost housing pro ject to cost $3,000,000 and had acquired the site. The project was aoandoned when the con. cern was not permitted to have Its own plumbing installed and was told it would have to buy me plumbing fixtures from competitor. It could not use its own windows or garage doors. A nationally-known brewery in Missouri for three . years has wished to expand its plant, but the question of materials to be used and labor practices has de layed this several million dol lar improvement. Joes trouble goes back to 1938, when he fought the lesser leaders and split the party In a desperate effort to preserve his own absolutism. From State Senator Leo C. Mundy, "w county a pride, who one had several score of relatives on the oav roll by the grace of Ouffev. to the shrewd and personable young leader of Philadelphia. John B. Kelly, tha democrats nanxer to take It out on Joe this time. They have held no general ooh. ference, but they have been frank enough with one another to know that their only point of disagreement is who should be Joe's primary day opponent. ; a vD.nin w M fi' -r-rrw rrf JkV i rn ISPS 1 It s James LPepper ONLY si QUART KINTOCKYTRIOHTBOU"BON WHISKEY-0 PROOF tM month, olm.tvmtv.

Perrf Co- ,nc Infton, Ky. It, UBUC-.SAME FINE 9rL.lcTXT,9jHJ His former allies' distaste for Joe may seem a trifle local In imrjort. The seemlnit Is deceptive. In t. ways. In the first place, Joe Is the man on whom the new dealera have been relying to bring a draft-Roose-relt delegation to the Democr,tc convention. Even If Joe la not licked In the primary, he la hardly likely to have many delegates In hla Docket. If the new dealers want support In i-ennsyivanla. they will have to turn to Joe'a enemies, msnv of whom. Incidentally, are very friendly to Postmaster General Jamea A. Farley. ji course, Pennsylvania la one of the states where the Democratic polltlclana fee! they need the Roose velt name to put over the local ticket. With or without Joe at Ita head, the Pennsylvania delegation may well be pro-third term. But, even after the Democratic national convention, the row between Joe and the other Pennsylvanlans will con tinue to hsve Its effect. If Joe la renominated, his former friends are all ready to cut his ample throat with a nice sharp knife. If he la not renominated, he will aurely b hard at work trying to cut their throats. Either way the Pennsylvania Democracy will be sadly afflicted with disunion and 111 feeltng. The Republican, have already ataged a' tremendoua come-back In Pennayl vanla. The split of the Democrats may well returp the state to the Republlcsn column for good. Among the Democrats' potential candidates sgslnat Ouffey, the pres ent state auditor general. Warren R. Roberts. Is frequently mentioned. Re Is a good sort of all-purpose man. and. since he has recently taken Into hi, office Colley s. Bsker. who man aged Oeorge Earle'a campaign for the governorship, he la probably recep tive. The namea of Quffey's exquisite fat cat. Ambassador to Poland An thony J. Dreiel Blddle. of the ambaa sador to Prance. William C. Bullitt, and of Robert O. Allen, s congress man who fought Ouffey, are also heard In talk. The combination against Ouffey. besides Kelly and Mundy, Is likely to Include the Lackawanna county leader. Representative Patrick Boland. the former state secretary of property and supplies. Arthur Colesrove. for mer Governor Rarle, and David Law rence, the state chairman who was recently acquitted of bribe-taking. Against thla formidable array, Ouffey can muster his rural following and his federal Job-holders. He Is frantl rally seeking to win back his old NATHAN WITT, secretary of NLRB. Whose work Was an Inefficient. that he should be fired, according to ooara member William M. Lelser- on. Is one of the extreme left- wingers on the government payroll in tne nationsi capital. He Is so far to the left that White House Insiders veered away from him. Seo retary WltJ was Included by the Dies committee as a member of the League for Peace 1 and Democracy, alleged communist front. His "amateur de tective" (description by Mr. Lelser sonl, Fred Hrlvonos, wss also on the Dies list likewise the name of board member Edwin 8. Smith. Nearly 60 on the NLRB payroll, mostly young lawyers, sppesr on the Dies catalogue.

Mrs. Dal lant li on the payroll of Social Security board. The chapter to be written by NLRB investigation will be more of an eye-opener than the Inquiry Into un-American activities and It will have a more direct appeal to Oregon and Washington than the latter probe. SO much criticism has been di rected at Madam Perkins for her policy In handling the Immigration and naturalisation service that this awncy will be transferred from the department of labor In the next reorganization plan,' If present Inten tions sre carried out. Immigration and naturalization will be divided between the department of Justice and the department of state, assert Insiders who think they have the correct Information. Several senators hsve been sccum- utatlng data on what they regard as slipshod methods, particularly In the Immigration service, snd among those with a fat file of figures and statements Is Oregon's Rufus Hol- msn. HA ARRY BRIDGES, west coast la- borlte. who la not an American citizen. Is an Indirect cause for the proposed stripping of the immigra tion service from Frances Perkins (Mrs. Psut Wilson). Harold Prltchett, another alien leader of labor In the Pacific northwest. Is also a reason. Other factors: The number of aliens entering on visitor's permits and once they are In the United States they disappear; Blackness in deport ing undesirables. James Landls.
