And what a contrast between thii Sunday and the preceding. crowds everywhere, an air of vailing, now as quiet and subdued as the Quaker City of old, dear old Philadelphia returned to normalcy, most of the restau rant closed for the day, bars ditto, and Broad Street deserted. . That circus simile lingers, for it is a perfect one, even down to the elephants. Yes, Mr. Gannett produced three elephants and paraded them up and down the main stem, pleasing the small boys, especially the colored ones. tremendously. We happened to be with an up-state New York newspaper man when the parade passed. He pulled his cigar out of his mouth and cursed: "You know it's a damn shame the way the easy-money slickers pulled that man's leg. I figure they shook him down for at least half a million dollars. He's smart, too, when it comes to most things. But nothing destroys sense like the political bee, when it really starts to buzz. And they wouldn't even put a thousand dollars aside to give him a decent celebra tion 1 Such a run-around has never been seen since Frank' Low. den was given the works in Chicago 20 years ago. But Lowden had a chance and could afford it. This man hasn't, never has, and while he has a good income, be is no Henry Ford. I know some of the boys in his campaign 'brain trust,' and thanks to the easy picking, they will be living off the Gannett pile for at least ten,years to comet" It has been amusing to see the Dewey and Taft emblems dis appear over night and the Willkie ones come up smiling. Also the I told you so wisenheimers who KNbw it would be Willkie all the timet Here is how right they are, on Wednesday morning Messrs. Root and Davenport, who were the W illkie boom admitted a Taft-Dewey deal had been made, and only some extremely fait work could save them. This was confirmed even more emphatically by another insider on the staff of Fortune. The "fast work" consisted, among other things, of a midnight call by Mr. Willkie upon ex-Governor Landon nf Kaunas, and complete removal of London's belief that W. W. was merely another public utility man. Even then, there was little faith in the Willkie camp that their candidate could win, outside of W. W. himself. W. W, never doubted it, or if he did, never admitted as much. Those who believe in the power of the mind in such matters might profitably make a clinical study of the 1940 candidate of the Republican party. Up to the last minute the only member of the Oregon delega tion that could see Willkie at all was Xorblad of Astoria, and was he cursed out by the rest of the Oregon contingent in Phila delphia! It was Judge Ekwall who declared on one of the roll calls, he was for Senator McNary, "first, last and all the time." We are not positive of this, and there is no way to check on it now, but our recollection is it was Judge Ekwall less than half an hour later who' proclaimed so loudly even the last row in the gallery could cheer: "Oregon casts all its ten ballots for the next President of the United States, WENDELL, I,. WIXLKIE!" A party convention certainly casts a revealing light upon that fascinating "X" in the human equation: Human nature 1 . . . There were only three really hot days during the conven tion, Monday, Thursday and Friday, the others being surpris ingly cool. When Philly gets hot, however, it makes no bones about it, humidity either. On the torrid days we spent consid erable time in the exhibition hall next door which whs cooler and practically deserted in spite of the fact that b'O television "Victors" were in full operation. There we could take a chair, and did, with no hustle or heat, or din about, hear every thing that was going on in the convention, and see everything, after a fashion. The television reproduced the loud speaker end of the speaker's platform alone, the figures were rather blurred and ghostlike, but could be distinguished easily enough. The entire picture was about the size of a serving plate, we should say, the effect being strangely like look ini? at some white o-rnha mnvinir about in water under a microscope. J he sound reproduction, however, was perfect, much better than in the press box directly beside the platform. This interesting demonstration was well nublicized. we still can't understand why crowds stood in the heat outside the building, trying to bust in, when they could have had a ringside seat, and avoided the crowd, in this television exhibition hall. Perhaps that has some significance regarding the future of television, for the average curious human perhaps there is no satisfactory substitute for flesh and blood reality. Th is much at least is true, the reproduction, at the present stage of the game, leaves much to be desired, we don't think any merchant nouni cnoose to adopt this method of showing off anv ladies' suits, or hats, or furs he might wish to sell I No oiie or no THING looks attractive in television.

Herr Hitler Is rapidly drawing his lines in a manner calculated to leave no way of escape from destruction open to Britain. The second of the three grave threats against the very life of England wholesale bombing, starvation by blockade and in vasionhas now shown itself In the heavy losses inflicted on British merchantmen recently by both Nazi and Fascist U boats. Good ships totaling more than 88.000 tons many un doubtedly laden with precious food and war supplies were sent t& the bottom in the week ending June 23. The German high command also claimed yes terday that 299.000 tons of Allied shipping had been sunk by Narl air forces since June 3 D.ath Rain Wid.m. Meanwhile the rain of death from the air mi increased over England in ever-widening cir cles which final. y have touch ed virtually all parts of the United Kingdom. It's easy for German pilots to reach England these days from the many new bases along the continental coast opposite the little island We may expect the bombing and torpedoing to swell rapid ly from now on. preparing the way for the third menace the Then everything on the qui vive, expectancy and excitement pre the starry-eyed Warwicks of actual invasion which the Nazi fuehrer has threatened so often. Thus far there has been no indication of the precise plan which Hitler proposes to fol low. Quite likely he will be governed by circumstances. It is patent, however, that he is getting set, from Norway right down the coast to Brest in France, so that the invasion can be put In motion if and when the time seems right. As a matter of fact, the co ordinated starvation - blockade and bombing campaign might be sufficiently devastating li the British defense proved in effective thus relieving nlm ol the necessity of experimenting with the Invasion, wh'.ch is n mighty risky business In face of the British navy and other defenses. It is possible that he may decide to depend on these first two weapons, but there seems to be nothing that the fuehrer wants so much as to emulate W illiam the Conquorc-r and send an army into Albior. Time Is Essence. There are many experts who think he might be wUc to be satisfied with the blockade and destruction of industries. How ever, there is something more than fancy Impelling Hitler to invasion. He Is pressed for time.

THE INEBRIATE'S NUTRITIONAL DEPRAVITY Habitual, regular, moderate or periodical drinkers are gen erally below par in physical health the in evitable result of alcoholism, not the cause of the craving In recent years, for in stance, it has been shown that the muU tiple neuritis which nearly or quite dis ables or para lyzes so many drinkers is due, not to the alcohol they consume, but rather to the pro longed shortage of vitamin B complex in their diet. In the Lambert method of treating dipsomania (particulars of which I am glad to send a physician on request if he pro vides a stamped envelope bear ing his address I can give no details to others than doctors of medicine), after the first few days of treatment "a good vig orous non-alcoholic tonic should be given at regular intervals." Perhaps that meant something or other 30 years ago, when Dr. Lambert gave the method to the medical profession. A tonic, according to the medical dictionary, is a remedy which improves or restores enfeebled function and promotes vigor and a sense of well being. That covers considerable latitude: fresh air, sunshine, cheerful surroundings, regular exercise or play, occupation, work, avo cation, wholesome food, medi cine, sufficient rest. My own notion is that the prolonged moderate shortage of vitamins in the diet of most Americans is Itself one of the causes of the craving for alco hol, and as already mentioned it is now well established clin ically that the intake of essen tial vitamins falls still lower when alcoholic liquor replaces more essential fuel in the me tabolism the drinker gets a considerable' share of calories from alcohol and hence has less appetite for or demand for nat ural food. The tonic pa? excellence for the inebriate or the dipsoma niac, or the fool who is train ing for such. a career or fool ing around ihsi juSfes of chronic alcoholism .la."' In My opinion, an optimal iilf "ration of the essential vlv rtma. ri, one or another' Con. vsnrated - f o r m , . Europe, including Germany, is 1 headed for a bad shortage of food in the fall. The reich also; is short of many essential mate rials for prosecuting the war. Russia's invasion of Rumania gives Hitler serious cause to an ticipate trouble from that direc tion. And England's defenses are improving as she secures air planes and other help from America. So the Nazi chieftain Is aiming at a quick Job on England. A successful invasion would turn the trick, whereas the blockade would take months. Anyway, if the invasion should fail, he still would have his blockade and bombers at work. That an Invasion would In volve a heavy loss of German life is generally accepted by ex perts. However, life is cheap in Europe these days. Personally I have no doubt that Hitler would only have to raise his hand to get half a million young Nazis who are such fanatical fol lowers that they would rush to loin any suicide expedition for him. Massed Bombing Threat There are two ways to initiate the invasion. One is by means of a protracted bombing of all r.ngland with the idea of reduc ing it to submission. The other and one many believe he will use is employment of a huge fleet of thousands of bombing planes which for perhaps forty eight hours before the attempted landing would try to plow Eng land from stem to stern. Such an operation, amounting more or less to massed ouir.'oinu. naturally would involve a moun tainous loss in planes, which woulj be shot down by the Brit ish airforce and anti-aircraft guns. However, I understand that the Nans would be prepared; to lose say 3.000 planes if in so doing they could achieve their objective. The German army l ways has followed this strategy In making infantry attack? de- pending on sheer weight of num-, bers to win the day. Likes First Graders Clarksburg. W.

By essential vitamins I mean the vitamins most commonly deficient, vitamin B complex, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin C named In the order of their importance. By optimal daily ration I mean a great deal more of the vitamin or vitamins in ques tion than may be necessary to prevent manifestations of de ficiency disease, and more than may be ordinarily required to maintain good functional health, for such a' tonic must first re store the body's reserve supply when there has been prolonged depletion.

The people are more concerned over Hitler's plans than any skullduggery the so-called "power trust" may have In mind.

Not since the dsys of Teddy Roosevelt hare the Republicans offered such a hard hitting candidate. And Oregon's Charley McNary? Not a new desler will say a word sgalnst him. One of the first to offer congratulations was Vice Presi dent Gamer. Communications Where Blame Belongs To the editor: According to the papers, the new republican platform con tains a plank condemning the administration for its failure to have provided adequate arma ment. Coming from the repub lican party, that "brings up rec ollections". I recall that twenty-two years ago, when the allies with Amer ican aid, brought Germany to her knees and made the world safe for democracy, we dele gated the task of keeping it so to a republican administration, who repudiated the cause foi which a hundred thousand Americans gave their lives, and abandoned the only internation al machinery ever designed that promised to effect permanent peace. I also remember that when the Nazis movement was in the bud, this government did noth ing to administer the proverbia'l "stitch in time," but employed itself towing unfinished battle ship hulls into deep water for destruction. I further remember that when the present adminis tration first proposed an en larged armament, many repub lican leaders and some mis-led democrats refused support, de manding to know just who we proposed to fight, etc., as if the head of a state could publicly announce such things. And I remember again that when our president spoke of the Rhine as our first line of de fense, these same leaders howled to high heaven. If the president was wrong. Just why does the French collapse effect armament needs here? And last of all I remember that when the president sug gested that by building arma ments for the allies we would enlarge and create the facilities for arming ourselves, this meas ure had figuratively to be en acted over the dead bodies of republican leaders. And now they condemn the president for failure. Criticism from such source does not look good. This is a case where silence would have been golden. C. F. Davies.

The rea sons why a presidential third term effort is now somewhal less likely were presented in this space yesterday. They have so impressed a numbtr of con gressional leaders close to the White House that one or two of these ordinarily dependable prophets are venturing the flat prediction that the President will retire. On the other hand, however, it must be admitted that the more ardent New Deal ers have not lost a panicle of their conviction that the Presi dent will not disappoint their hopes. If anything, their expectation of a third-term effort Is more confident than ever. One of them, an Influen tial leader of the third-term move ment, la telling his friends. "A month ago It was 98.99 per cent sure the prealdent would take It. Now It's 99.99 per cent." In fact, they have stopped discussing the president's intentions among themselves, and are concentrating aU their Interest on the problem of his running mate. They believe that Justice William O. Douglas ought to have second place' on the ticket, and frankly think that he will. The vice presidency hardly seems important, at a time when the cur tain ta Just about to ring up on what may be the last act of a tragedy changing forever the whole world we know. Tet It Is the subject of Jtremendoua to-do In Washington at the moment. For one thing, the formerly hang dog forces of Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt have perked up greatly, since the Willkie nomina tion. Their notion la that since the Republican convention haa chosen one member of the Indiana Universi ty claas of 1913. the Democratic con vention may be Induced to select an other, at least for a minor post. They are button-holing aU and sun dry with an extraordinary pertinacity, making the old sectional argument which Is the most worn-out and the most persistent In the entire lexicon of American politics. They are unlikely to get much of anywhere, however, alnce the friends of Justice Douglas and the friends of Senator James P. Byrnes of South Carolina and House Majority Leader Sam Jayburn of Texas are so much more Influential and have so much better material to work with. At the moment, chiefly because the new dealera have plumped for htm after considering the other possibilities rather favorably. Douglas would seem to be the best bet. It may seem odd that anyone should be expected to leave the su preme bench for the honorable but Inactive chair of the vice president. But the somewhat cloistered life of the supreme court apparently seems cooling to Douglas. He has seen the president often of late, haa been con sulted on a good msny mstters, snd seems to be forming about the same relationship with the Rooeeveltlan White House ss Justice Louis D. Brandels had with the White House of Wilson. His closeness to the president Is one point In his favor, since the choice of a vice presidential nominee will be up to the president. His posi tion as an eminent new dealer Is snother point, for the president Is known to want to build up at least one member of the new deal group aa a political leader of the future. His northwestern origin is a thlfd point. As an Indication of how far the Douglas boom hss got, his new deal frlenda make much of hla departure for the northwest for bis summer vacation, broadly hlnUng that alnce he left his native Washington some yesrs ago, it Is Important for him to accept the nomination against the background of the Rockies. The pattern of the political future la Indescribably confused. Perhaps, however, the rise of Justice Douglas' stock supplies the clue which brings order to the confusion. In the first plsce. there Is the president, frankly telling men around blm that he doubts whether he csn besr up under "snother four years" In the White House. In the second place, there Is the decline In the vice presidential stock of Senator Byrnes, who would help to unite the Democratic party if he should be nominated, but Is too conservative a Democrat to please the president aa his successor. In the third plsce. there Is the rise of Justice Douglss. who might not care to leave the bench merely for the vice presidency, but Is the sort of successor the presi dent wsnts. Pitting these three fact together, one arrives at a wild tuess: That the president la now considering runnine for re-election on the understanding that he wilt serve only for the dura tion of the emergency and will then resign. Aa one man's guess Is s good as the nest's, the possibility la st least worth pondering. May Expand Flax Washington, July 3. '.-T N. E.
