Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine BILLION PUMPED— WASHINGTON — Harold Ickes, secretary of interior and master of PWA, proudly radioed seafaring President Roosevelt last week that the gauge on his public works pump had ticked past the billion-dollar mark in 30 working days since the president signed the lend-spend bill, that the pump was still pouring at the rate of $5,532,510 worth of work per hour. To produce a billion's worth of work, PWA had earmarked nearly two-thirds of its new $965,000,000 (states and municipalities supplying the balance), and still projects were flocking in for approval. Next Ickes told the country that he had made a deal with Jesse Jones whereby RFC, to which congress voted $1,500,000,000 for loans to business and to states and municipalities, would bulwark PWA's lending program with $250,000,000 for big, revenue-producing projects. Jones' loans will realise an equal amount of Ickes' money for outright granting instead of loaning, will thus bring PWA's work-producing potential up to $1,917,-000,000. When projects are approved, states and cities have learned how to translate the money on Ickes' books quickly into business orders an action. They do not have to get Ickes' checks to place orders; material and building contractors have learned to go ahead, with bank aid if necessary, well knowing why PWA prefers to retain its debtor position as long as possible; That is its only control over the quality of work done. MAIL LADIES— ANACONDA, Montana — Since 1918, Anna McDonald, 45, of Anaconda, has trudged 63,000 miles carrying 283 tons of mail. When she was transferred last week to a clerical job, Anaconda hailed the retirement of "the last woman city mail carrier in the United States." But Anaconda was wrong. Though its records on the subject are vague, the post office department did know that Anaconda's Anna was not the last of her species. During the war many a strong girl got a man's job toting letters from door to door. At least one who still functions is resolute Katie E. Philpit, 44, of Williamson, N. C., who marches dutifully through the north end of town every morning and afternoon, her slim back bent under a weight of farm papers, religious tracts and mail-order literature, her slim legs encased in black cotton hose below neat knickers of post office grey. BLACK ELBOW— NEW YORK — Through the streets of Manhattan's Harlem last Re-Elect E. D. Marion (incumbent) Constable Anaheim Township BECAUSE he has served the township satisfactorily; BECAUSE he has earned the support of every progressive citizen. BECAUSE he has proven his efficiency and economy; WHY make a change when a man has proven his capability, and given the people his highest type of service, with no complaint. A MAN with this record is unsurpassed, and is a valuable man-to-keep in office. REWARD EFFICIENT SERVICE THIRD TERMITES— WASHINGTON—All last week "third termites" bored busily in the solid wooden pillars of U. S. politics. Observed Senator Barkley of Kentucky: "I keynoted Roosevelt into the White House in 1932 and 1936, and I might possibly do it again in 1940." Said Senator Pittman of Nevada: "I have inherent prejudices against a third term, but between Ickes and a third term, I'll take a third term." Said Senator Pepper of Florida: "The third-term question states and cities have learned how to translate the money on Ickes' books quickly into business orders an daction. They do not have to get Ickes' checks to place orders; material and building contractors have learned to go ahead, with bank aid if necessary, well knowing why PWA prefers to retain its debtor position as long as possible: That is its only control over the quality of work done. BLACK ELBOW— NEW YORK — Through, the streets of Manhattan's Harlem last week trundled a procession led by a sleek touring car on whose back perched fattish, blinking, middle-aged Negro Major J. ("Father") Divine. Behind him rode a squadron of his women cultists straddling big brewery horses, humbler worshipers in cars, trucks and afoot. "Peace is wonderful!" shouted bright placards. "Peace! Peace!" Occasion for his celebration was a real-estate deal—Father Divine had bought a new "heaven" in an exclusive neighborhood, the 500-acre "Krum Elbow" estate 1,800 ft. directly across the Hudson river from Franklin Delano Roosevelt The seller: eccentric, Rossevelt-hating Socialite Howland Spencer 48. Squire Spencer's quarrel with his neighbor dates from the 1932 campaign when Squire Roosevelt began publicly calling his mother's house "Krum Elbow". After election the U. S. geodetic survey hastily named it so on official maps Spencer in sisted that his family place had always borne that name a claim which the president's mother supported. The real name of the Roosevelt estate, says Spencer grimly, is "Crooks' Delight" after a British merchant who once owned it. FLOWERS—For All Occasions Anaheim Flower Shop Mrs. E. T.

Thus the fair has produced a crop of its own—a queen crop. A reunion of threats of a county tax rate nearly $1 per $100 assessed on theuation drew fire from Superintendent N. E. West of Laguna Beach, attacked the proposed $2,000 budget as a side issue to and discussion. West said he would vote against a possible 21-cent increase in tax rate. West claimed he was the "baited" by Supervisor Steeleley of Santa Ana yesterday at noon, when Finley hinted at control promotions might be through political consideration. "I don't like the idea of being baited with political considerations," retorted West. "For matter, I'm going to vote against this budget because I don't want the raise." West has said unofficially that the threatened tax rate "about 17 cents too high." As the budget stood, it will require a county tax rate on every inside cities of $1.02, a rate of $1.06 on property outside cities, which must pay a two-tier rate for county library and similar rate for road districts. Last year's tax rate was cents per $100 assessed value for property inside cities, and cents for property outside. Rate for this year for county library expenses has been tentatively cut from three to two cents. This year's budget has not been sliced to completion, and pervisors declared they plan further economies where possible. the rest of their lives on a poof of about $2,000 yearly. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTER Each year Los Angeles County fair held in Pomona the latter half of September, is presided over by a queen of agriculture surrounded by her court of attendants each representing a major southland crop.

The Krum Elbow "heaven" will accommodate some 3,000 angels (followers of Father Divine) in its 27 buildings, will be marked by a sign with letters 40 ft high for the edification of excursion boat passengers.

I thought of the steamboats that will bring thousands of colored people from New York to swim in the Hudson here and have picnics on the hills, and it sort of amused me. Whether we meant it or not, this really will annoy Franklin a great deal, won't it?" Said Columnist Eleanor Roosevelt: "It must ... be pleasant to feel that in the 'future' this place will be 'heaven' to some people, even if it cannot be to its former owner." Said Father Divine: "We believe in improving all things and advancing all things." "TERRIBLE FIGHT" TOKYO, Japan—Although Japan has consistently tried to minimize recent Japanese-Russian clashes on the border of Siberia, an engagement amounting to full-dress warfare occurred last week at disputed Changkufeng Hill. A detailed Japanese official communique described a "terrible fight" in which Japanese forces beat Soviet troops who "used mechanized units, including tanks and heavy artillery." To keep on calling such operations "frontier clashes" was fantastic. But neither Russia nor Japan wants open war. Chinese, whose air forces today consist largely of Soviet-built planes, credited Russia with creating a diversion which last week led the worried Japanese to cease bomb- Each year Los Angeles County fair held in Pomona the latter half of September, is presided over by a queen of agriculture surrounded by her court of attendants each representing a major southland crop.

To keep on calling such operations "frontier clashes" was fantastic. But neither Russia nor Japan wants open war. Chinese, whose air forces today consists largely of Soviet-built planes, credited Russia with creating a diversion which last week led the worried Japanese to cease bombing Canton for four days. While Soviet citizens were quietly informed by the Tass official news agency that the "defeated" Japanese forces had nevertheless "occupied Soviet territory to a depth of six miles," Japanese official press wires reported that 50 Soviet bombing planes had appeared over Korea and had bombed several villages and railways, that five planes were shot down before they could get back to Russia. Japanese cities in the west, which would be the first victims of a Soviet bombing raid from Vladivostok against the Island empire, enforced full air-raid pre- Range County’s Tax Rate For Year Estimated at One Dollar As it stands, however, the budget calls for general county expenditures of $1,928,577, as compared with $1,490,702 in last year’s total. Public hearings on the proposed budget must be fixed by supervisors in 10 days. The budget is scheduled to be adopted on or before Oct. 30, and the tax rate for 1938-39 fiscal year is to be set by Sept. 1. You may not be interested in all of America, but your pocketbook is. Every loss, everywhere, is charged to consumers—and you are one of them. Indigent Arrivals Under 1938 Mark A heavy decrease of migration into California of persons “in need of manual employment” is shown by the border stations’ check-up for June, as compared to the same month last year, it was reported today by Jonathan-Garst, regional director of Farm Security administration. A comparison of May figures also shows a decline. The statistics gathered by plant quarantine inspectors at border entry points, show that in June of this year 4512 men, women and children, about 1000 family groups, entered California in out-of-state cars as against 7903 in June, 1937, a decrease of 3396 persons.
