The MARCH OF TIME BEG. U.S. PAT. OFF. Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine MARITIME IMPASSE— NEW YORK — Brewing for 2 months, a general strike of United States maritime workers was precipitated last week when Pacific Coast Longshoreman Harry Bridges, leader of San Francisco's bloody general strike two years ago, led 37,000 men of unions affiliated with the powerful Maritime Federation of the Pacific in a general waterfront walkout. Promptly, in practically every Pacific and some Atlantic ports, maritime activity came to a standstill. In San Francisco 47 vessels lay idle; in San Diego 22; in Hawaii 6; in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland 57; in Baltimore 16. Nominal head of all United States longshoremen is President Joseph P. Ryan who considers Harry Bridges a Red, bluntly reused to call out his Atlantic men in a sympathy strike. Jockeying with Longshoreman Ryan for leadership in New York, whither Atlantic maritime workers look or guidance, was Seaman Joseph Curran who last year led an "outlaw" seamen's strike in New York harbor, failed to win higher wages but caused serious harbor hubub for three months. Last week 1,000 of Curran's insurgent Seamen's Defense comitteemen voted a strike in Manhattan, delayed the sailings of several ships. Next night 1,000 members of the International Seamen's union met, heard their officers refuse to strike, heard one of them read a telegram "from Harry Bridges" warning that an Atlantic strike would only delay matters, yelled "Fake! Boo! We want Curran!" Called into the hall, from which he Jiad been barred, Seaman Curran won a unanimous strike vote, and in the next two days 91 ships were strike bound in Atlantic harbors, 35 in the Gulf. Last week's blow-up followed two months of negotiation to replace the agreement made between maritime labor and the shipowners after the gory general strike of 1934. Since its expiration on September 30, the agreement has been continued by truces, with Longshoreman Bridges as spokesman for labor, Chairman Tom G. Plant of the Waterfront Employers' association as spokesman for the shipowners. Bridges demanded higher pay, a 6-hour day, recognition of the unity of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific; Chairman Plant demanded that control of hiring halls, the big issue of 1934, be put in neutral hands. While neither side would concede anything, the shipowners agreed to arbitrate, the longshoremen refused. Intercoastal companies hire most of their seamen on the Atlantic where union wage scales are lower. Pacific deep-sea shipowners hire all their labor on the higher wage. Pacific Intercoastal were made of several ships. Next night 1,000 members of the International Seamen's union met, heard their officers refuse to strike, heard one of them read a telegram "from Harry Bridges" warning that an Atlantic strike would only delay matters, yelled "Fake! Boo! We want Curran!" Called into the hall, from which he Jiad been barred, Seaman Curran won a unanimous strike vote, and in the next two days 91 ships were strike bound in Atlantic harbors, 35 in the Gulf. PALMER, Alaska. — Uncle Sam's "pioneer" Matanuska colony has dug in for its second winter; dug in with nearly 100,000 pounds of food in its community warehouse and with high confidence in the future. One hundred and fifty of the 200 Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin farm families, all on direct relief, who came here at government expense for a new start in life in May, 1935, have remained to wring success from their toil. THE approach of the colony's second winter finds an encouraging picture. The last year has definitely proved the valley's ability to produce profitable agricultural products. All of the colonists now are living in their own homes, each with a 40-acre tract of land to clear and cultivate. About 1000 acres of individual farms are cleared for cultivation. The colonists, after providing for their own needs, have deposited in the community warehouse nearly 100,000 pounds of vegetables. At the community center, here in Palmer, a modern hospital of 22 beds, a central schoolhouse, teachers' quarters, a creamery, a cannery, a power plant and warehouses have been completed and are in operation. A radio station and other buildings are under construction. There are 304 children at school and the general store reports a 20 per cent increase in business during the last six months over the previous six months. "The morale of the Matanuska community is excellent," reports Col. Otto F. Ohlson, president of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Center. Local Hospital breaks record! The fellow who rode out here from Chicago, in a rumble seat, went there and got completely untwisted, in 3 days, 11 hours and 42 minutes! Speaking of Hospitals, reminds us of sanitation. All housewives know the meaning of Pasteruization. They know it stands for sanitation — for absolute protection of their families health. For years they have demanded pasteurized milk, and now they're insisting upon pasteurized laundering as well. It is a scientific fact that clothes washed the Sanitary as the water you drink, in fact our last rinse waters are absolutely sterile. Isn't that fact worth considering before your clothes are laundered next week? Call the Sanitary Laundry and be sure of the best.

Cleaver Pacific; Chairman Plant demanded that control of hiring halls, the big issue of 1934, be put in neutral hands. While neither side would concede anything, the shipowners agreed to arbitrate, the longshoremen refused. Intercoastal companies hire most of their seamen on the Atlantic where union wage scales are lower. Pacific deep-sea shipowners hire all their labor on the higher wage. Pacific Intercoastal companies, therefore, were making separate overtures to the longshoremen, sole union with which they had to deal, thereby threatening not only a split between the two classes of owners but a separate peace between intercoastal owners and Pacific longshoremen. Harry Bridges, who would have preferred to delay strike action, called out his men to avoid gainless compromise. LAST GUESSES— NEW YORK—As the nation marched to the polls last week, many an irrepressible politician, journalist and poll taker risked a flunking mark by guessing the answers to the presidential election before they were officially available: "Literary Digest" (2,350,000 straw votes by mail to telephone subscribers and automobile licensees): Landon 32 states, 370 electoral votes. Roosevelt 16 states, 161 electoral votes. Gallup poll (small sample groups of voters polled by mail and interview): Roosevelt 40 states 477 electoral votes. Landon 6 states, 42 electoral votes (Connecticut and Rhode Island 50-50). Crossley poll (sample groups of voters polled by interview): Roosevelt 37 states, 406 electoral votes. Landon 10 states, 122 electoral votes (Wyoming 50-50). Hugh S. Johnson: "It's doubtful whether Governor Landon will carry six states and he's only absolutely certain of three. It's another landslide." John D. M. Hamilton: "The 'Literary Digest' poll underestimates Governor Landon's strength. He will be elected by a landslide." James A. Farley: "In my humble judgment President Roosevelt will carry every state in the nation except Maine and Vermont. I sincerely believe this." SCIENTIST ON DICTATORS— There are 304 children at school and the general store reports a 20 per cent increase in business during the last six months over the previous six months. "The morale of the Matanuska community is excellent," reports Col. Otto F. Ohlson, president of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation corporation. "The farmers have had a good year. They have been industrious and, in my judgment, they will make good on their obligations to the government." All of the colony's surplus products have been sold at prices comparing favorably with those in the states, Ohlson further points out. He predicts Alaska can, and will, consume all of the excess products which Matanuska can produce in the future. ONE contention alone seems to trouble some of the colonists—the size of their final bill to the government. The average debt will aggregate $5000, it is believed. Many feel this too high. Still others declare "the government couldn't chase us out." Some are now paying up. Meanwhile, in Washington, the government reports a waiting list of 3000 families who want home-steads in Matanuska. The colony seems due to start. famed for his "introvert" and "extrovert" classifications, last week invaded the field of psychopolitical analysis, announced in London: "I have just come from America, where I saw Roosevelt. Make no mistake, he is a force—a man of superior and impenetrable mind, but perfectly ruthless, a highly versatile mind which you cannot foresee. He has the most amazing power complex, the Musolini substance, the stuff of a dictator absolutely! "There are two kinds of dictators—the chieftain type and the medicine man type. Hitler is the latter. He is a medium. German policy is not made; it is revealed through Hitler. He is the mouth-piece of the gods as of old..."

German policy is not made; it is revealed through Hitler. He is the mouthpiece of the gods as of old... "I remember a medicine man in Africa who said to me, almost with tears in his eyes: 'We have no dreams any more since the British are in the country.' When I asked him why, he answered: 'The district commissioner knows everything.' Mussolini's Stalin and Roosevelt rule like that—they know everything—but in Germany they still have 'dreams.' You remember story of how, when Hitler was being pressed by other powers not to withdraw Germany from the League of Nations, he shut himself away for three days, and then, simply said, without explanation: 'Germany must withdraw! That is rule by revelation...' After the dictatorship comes the oligarchy or aristocracy as the ideal form of government, according to Psychologist Jung. "With out the aristocratic ideal there is no stability. You in England owe it to your 'gentleman' that you possess the world." Dr. Jung added that in the cycle by which a democratic state gives way to a dictator, who turns yields to an oligarchy, which finally starts the process all over again by getting around to democracy, the crisis comes when "the people look to their state to give them more wages, higher standards of living... And so the time comes when the state must make fake money. First it is called 'inflation.' Then, because that unpopular, 'devaluation.' Now they are calling it 'dilution.' But it is all the same thing—fake money. Thus you have insecurity..."

Asserting that in Russia "the communist party is a privileged ruling caste," and in Germany "the S. S. men are being transformed into a caste of knights ruling 60 million natives," Dr. Jung concluded: "The dictatorships of Germany, Russia and Italy may not be the best form of government, but they are the only possible form of government at the moment." DON'TS FOR PREACHERS—NEW YORK—a conscientious preacher for half a century, Rev. Adolf William Meyer of St. Mark's Lutheran church in Yonkers, N.

This Hallowe'en was the 10th anniversary of the death of Harry Houdini (Erich Weiss), escape artist extraordinary and implacable foe of spiritualistic fakers, who promised his wife that he would communicate with her after his death (if possible), agreed on a cede message. In New York, a medium named Arthur Ford said that Houdini's spirit had sent him these words: "Rosabelle answer tell pray answer look tell answer answer tell." In a signed statement, Mrs. Houdini declared that this was her husband's code, later seemed unconvinced she had heard from him. Last month she announced she would try once more to hear from him, that if this effort failed she would never try again.

Adolf William Meyer of St. Mark's Lutheran church in Yorkers, N.Y., last week told 150 fellow clergymen of the Atlantic district of the United Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other states, how to preach successful sermons. First warning that "a torpid liver produces a dull sermon," spry old Dr. Meyer counseled them to "get a good sleep Saturday night," added four "don'ts": "Don't be like a brother I heard preach some time ago who kept saying 'Rejoice' . . . in a doleful way. Don't rely on ready-made material for your sermons. Anybody can open a can and warm up the contents. Have a blank book always handy to jot down thoughts. . . "Don't forget that your parishioners attend the movies and are accustomed to action. The pastor should listen in on the radio and should read the morning paper every day. The hearer should realize that the man in the pulpit is as much up-to-date or more up-to-date than the man in the pew." GREAT SILENCE— HOLLYWOOD — As the low murmur of traffic and the muffled clatter of Hallowe'en high jinks floated up one evening last week to the roof of Hollywood's Knickerbocker hotel, plump, white-haired Beatrice Wilhelmina Rahner Houdini and her business manager, bearded Magician Edward Saint, walked down a length of red plush carpet past a milling throng of spiritualists, magicians, newspapermen, cameramen and answer tell." In a signed statement, Mrs. Houdini declared that this was her husband's code, later seemed unconvinced she had heard from him. Last month she announced she would try once more to hear from him, that if this effort failed she would never try again. As the music of "Pomp and Circumstance" poured from a loudspeaker, Manager Saint last week called for quiet on the dark hotel roof, by the light of a small red lamp read his speech: ". . . The ten-year vigil of the silver-haired widow of Harry Houdini tonight comes to its final and logical conclusion with this last attempt to pierce the Great Void . . ." Explaining that the spirit of Houdini might, if it could, ring the bell on the table before him, unlock the handcuffs, or speak a code message through the trumpet, Magician Saint declared: "The world is waiting, Harry, the entire world and your friends in the glamorous Hollywood you loved so much. All are waiting. Please speak, Harry . . . Call to him Madam Houdini, call to him . . ." Said Mrs. Houdini: "Houdini, we've waited so long. Houdini, please . . ." Answered by a great silence, Mrs. Houdini said clearly: "Houdini has not come. I do not believe he will ever come." As she covered her face with her hands, the lights went up and photographers crowded forward. In the street a Hallowe'en firecracker exploded.

Junior College Teams Journey Supporters of Orange county junior college football teams will have to travel outside of the county this week end to watch their favorite in action. Santa Ana invades Riverside for the feature clash of the week while Fullerton plays Chaffey at Ontario. The Santa Ana Don-Riverside Bengal fray figures to be one of the outstanding jaysee games of the season. The Dons, winners of three gams in as many starts, are favored over last year's champions and the winners of five of the last six pennants in the eaern division. The Tigers, upset by Citrus and tied by Pomona, are virtually out of the running for the title, but could easily throw the race into a scramble by subduing Santa Ana. Chaffey's Panthers, in second place, expect but little trouble from Fullerton's downtrodden Hornets who have yet to win a conference contest. Charles Middleton Takes Part in Play Charles Middleton, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Middleton of 2030 Ridgeview Rd., Anaheim, played the part of Lakar in the play "The Queen's Husband," a presentation of The Occidental Players in the Little Theatre at Occidental college on November 11 and 12. The production was directed by Kurt Baer Von Weisslingen. Middleton is a transfer from Fullerton junior college and is majoring in economics at Occidental college. Coach Bill Cook's Santa Ana club won its third straight last Friday by wearing down a seafly Pomona eleven and taking a 26 to 0 verdict. The spectacular ballcarrying of Co-Capt. John Lehnhardt featured the Dons' attack. John Casey, Red Raider ace, was outstanding for the losers. Fullerton got all the breaks in its non-conference tilt with Oceanside and ran up a 5 to 0 tally. The southern club wa- adly outclassed and outlucked throughout the game.
