SEEK DAMAGES A suit to recover damages in the amount of $1,500 was filed by A. H. Crain against Abe and Tillie Cooper in the circuit court here yesterday. The suit is over a farm lease. On April 5, 1938, according to the bill, Crain leased a 90 acre farm in McHenry township from the defendants. In this lease it was set up that the defendants were to keep the premises to meet the requirements of the Chicago health department. It is alleged in the bill that on May 19, 1939, the barn on the farm was destroyed by fire and that several requests for a new barn were made by the plaintiff but none was constructed. The plaintiff charges that as the result of loss of the barn he was required to move his dairy herd to another farm and had to pav rent for same. Crain charges the defendants did not live up to the terms of the leap, j. _ .

ULV LAKS Washington, July 17--With our national legislators taking a vacation from their duties, Washington is relatively a deserted political camp. The Dismocratk conclave in Chicago this week has attracted the majority members while their Republican colleagues have hastened back home to strengthen their re-election machinery. The Windy City powwow has a tendency to displace this political nerve center as a spotlight feature. Not even the tremendous events overseas distracts from the discussion of the Democratic national ticket and the platform on which they will go before the country's* voters. To contend that the trek from the Capitol has stripped the city of all its politicians is not strictly accurate. A small guard remains here for mopping up purposes. These solons are hopeful of picking a few plums from the national defense program while their competitors are otherwise engaged. They are seeking everything from munitions plants and shipyards to small training* stations for their Congressional districts. Much of this pressure is traceable to civic groups including real estate operators who are desirous of building up their communities by grabbing some of the enormous governmental expenditures for these purposes. The Advisory Defense Council already with other planning ip shunting these applications and turning a deaf ear to pleas of political expediency. How long these non-partisan coordinators can withstand these influences at the Height of a Presidential year is not predictable at this time. Practical industrial leaders who must take a long-range view of the prepardness efforts are gravely concerned that the general public may obtain an unfair and unfavorable impression of business before many months. In other words, they are afraid that the politicians now frantically calling them into council are bragging too much about the "miracle" jJowers of American industry, and, in a political emergency may attempt to shift the blame for any slowing down of munitions output. The town is flooded with manufacturers or their agents seeking to place their full facilities at the disposal of the government. Unfortunately the authorities are not in apposition to accept to the extent of awarding contracts on a lavish scale. The situation in regard to quick expansion of industrial production of essential was supplies may be boiled down to. a few simple elemental facts. The successful techniques employed by the German military forces and^ the actual tests of airpower over naval power have necessarily brought about a marked change in plans for this country's armament . Blueprints which have been filed away and revised from time to time are in many instances so obsolete that they must be discarded. Substitute plans and (specifications >for building instruments of war are not easily drafted over-night so that the government faces delays in asking for bids. The layman, fearful of his economic and personal security, is appalled and sometimes resentful when he learns that it will require 18 months OF BttHFfe te parid -iff the jNMMHMfeiSrt.. - - _ the bostoess chieftains are rightly apprehensive over the prospect that politicians may trade on the public's lack of comprehension of all factors mm* MiiMtMfiMtn etimrtiff baairapter to extend their plants for war purposes. ' Another, vrgent subject is the oontpulsory military training program. The realities of world chaos including involved and ertdeavor to transfer the4 defense of the Western Hemisphere ia responsibility for delays with loose talk about preferring profile to patriotic cooperation. Congress is scheduled to reconvene next Monday. A "gentlemen's agreement" indicates that 'the Democratic law-makers Will take a few days off after the convention to check up In their home districts. A sub-commit^; having a profound effect on public thinking in this respect. The legislators are frankly puzzled as to the best method of providing manpower for the huge equipment now on order or in production. The fate of Enghmd will und6ubtedly have much to do with the speed Of foftgress in this matter. Tn# Burke-Wadsworth bill is tee or two will be on hand to ooittinue, *n 8 Rearing stage With indicahearings on pending defense tion. It is not expeted that the troversial excess profits tax bill including amortization for defense activities will be ready for several weeks. Unless' there is legislative authority for writing oft the depre- TIRE tions that it will be modified. Hie proposal of Senator Lodge for compulsory service of men between the age of 2 and 25 for a one-year term has some support in military circles. All these Mils are designed to bring the standing army to a strength of 750,000 soldiers at once.
