ELECTION WILE
NAME PARTY TO
ORGANIZE HOUSE
Congressional Race Expect
ed to Be Close as Major
Parties Seek Majority.
New York, Nov. 7-XU.R) To
day's election determines which
major party will organize the
house of representatives and
assume responsibility for vital
tax and appropriations legisla
tion daring the next two fateful
years.
Whether the war is cleaned
up on both sides of the world
in that time, or whether the next
election will find the Pacific
war still to be won, the new
house is certain to face great
and difficult decisions in those I ment, and liberal parties. The
fields of legislation which it
only can Initiate taxation and
appropriations.
'. G.O.P. Confident
Republicans claim that when
the votes are counted they will
have won majority of house
seats. They have contended all
along that this year they had
their . best chance since the
Hoover administration of cap
turing house control. Democrats
dispute this claim.
Neither big party has now has
a majority in the house. To
achieve a bare majority, one of
them must win at least 218 of
the 435 seats. The present line
up is 214 Democrats, 212 Re
publicans and four minority
party members, with fiv vacancies.
The pre-polllng Indications
were that many of the congress
ional races would be close. Only
60 candidates are unopposed.

Pay1 Less and Dress Better
Fort Jackson, S. C U.B At
Fort Jackson's prisoner-of-war
camp there is living proof that
a goose-stepping nazl can adjust
himself to something besides
war.
Newsmen, taken for a tour of
the prisoner camp, glanced into
the life of nazis as they live
and work in their settlement be
hind the traditional wire fence
of war, and came away amazed
at the ordinary characteristics of
these so-called "supermen."
There were P.W.'s and fences
symbolic of war's grimness,
but inside, qhocolate candy and
cigarettes rested on PX shelves,
Pin-ups of the "girl back home,"
a pipe or two, and snub-nosed
shoes were scattered here and
there in the barracks.
Newsman Get Cake
Nazi cooks in the war prisoner
mess hall pridefully presented
the newsmen with an ornately
decorated four-layer cake and
declined to tell the recipe a
trade secret. It seemed strange
eating nazi-baked cake and
smiling at nazl cooks, while far
away, nazis and Yanks were
fighting, and in other prisoner-
of-war camps overseas, Ameri
can soldiers were dreaming of
home.'
But the prisoner cooks were
good cooks, as the well-fed,
healthy appearance of war inter
nees vouched.
War prisoners' schedules are
planned in detail to keep them
occupied. Church, school, work
and recreation are all on the
calendar.
A war-prisoner lay-chaplain
conducts religious services every
ounaay, Detore a smootniy fin
ished cross, constructed by some
of the nazis. Educationally, war
prisoners attend classes five days
a week when interned instruc
tors conduct classes. Subjects in
clude English, stenography, me
chanical drawing, German, his
tory and geography.
Soccer Favorite Sport
Baseball is hot on the recrea
tion roster. Instead, soccer leads
as the favorite pastime, with
fistball (something like the
American volleyball) running a
popular second. Indoors, men
while away recreation hours,
playing ping pong, card games
and listening to radios.
Noon found war prisoners
sprawled over work tables, tak
ing time out for lunch. Some
glanced up sourly as reporters
sauntered through the building,
others fixed their eyes on their
food. Outside, half-a-dozen pri
soners, draped over a jeep, were
lunching in the sun. Majority of
the men work on government
projects, nri directly connected
with the war, Geneva interna
tional rules taboo war prisoners
working on war production jobs.
Eight-hour work days are the
maximum end men receive pay
in canteen checks.
Generally, the war prisoners
were about average height, a few
unusually short or uncommonly
tall. Some were blond, some bru
nette but on the whole they
were just men nothing spectac
ular nor out-of-the-ordinary.

Boy Scouts 'Asked
To Aid Financing
War Against Axis
A new opportunity for the Boy
Scouts of the Crater Lake Area
Council to assist in financing the
war has come through a request
by Theodore R. Gamble, direc
tor of the war financing staff
of the treasury department to
the local council office. Through
this plan every one of the 1.-
760,000 members in the United
States will have an opportunity
to participate personally. In his
letter Mr. Gamble expresses the
hope that every unit throughout
the nation will earn a Scout-at-War-MInute
Man flag or banner.
This will mean: 90 per cent
of each troop's membership
earning extra money for person
al war bond and stamp invest
ments in the Sixth War Loan; an
equal number of members of
Scouts' immediate families buy
ing an extra bond in the Sixth
War Loan; and pledges from
both groups to buy bonds and
stamps regularly each month at
school, place of work, bank, etc.,
thereafter.
This program Is to start with
opening of the Sixth War Loan
on November 20. It is not a part
of the Sixth War Loan, how
ever. It will continue in opera
tion for the duration of the war.
