THERE IS GREAT DANGER IN VENTURING, BUT THEY WHO
LACK THE COURAGE NEVER ARRIVE AT A HAPPY DESTINA-
TION. COURAGE AND FAITH ARE CLOSELY RELATED: And they
launched forth.—Luke 8:22.
Over the Hump
IF Admiral Stark’s optimistic statement proves correct,
1 and we actually are brinRiiiK the submarine menace under
in the Atlantic, then the tide of this war has
control
turned.
No layman is in position either to confirm or to deny
the admiral’s disclosure. We don’t know how many ships
were being sunk in the past, nor do we know how many
are being sent to the bottom today. _
For military reasons, which we are obliged to accept
even though we sometimes question their soundness, the
public has been kept completely in the dark both as to
our losses and as to the retaliatory vengeance we have
exacted.
WE
do know, from a long series of official statements
on both sides of the Atlantic, that shipping is our
worst headache. When we were attacked, we had inade-
quate facilities for supplying our allies, bringing raw
material into this country, transporting expeditionary
forces to the fighting fronts and servicing them while
there.
Sinkings have exceeded launchings, so that as of today
we are worse off than we were last December.
Experts say that one may speculate intelligently that
we have averaged a loss of at least two ships a day. By
the end of this month we expect to be turning out two
ships a day, ready to go to sea with cargoes. On that
basis we would be just about holding our own.
But two ships a day is only an intermediate point. 'Our
goal is to produce 750 vessels this year and twice as many
—an average of four a day—in 1948.
If Admiral Stark is correct, even to the extent that
we can count upon holding the U-boats to their present ef-
fectiveness, then by Decoration day we shall have climbed
over the shipping hump and start coasting down on the
sunny side.
Nobody knows what the total will be. At the begin-
ning of 1941 we had 1150 ships with a combined gross
tonnage of 7,078,000. Last year we built less than we lost.
This year and next we are adding 2300 craft with a gross
tonnage of roughly 12,000,000.
So by the end of next year we shall have something
fewer than 3500 vessels with a gross tonnage of less than
19,000,000. At the beginning of 1941 the British possessed
-664 ships of 16,806,000 tons. Japan, third maritime power,
had only 989 vessels grossing 4,754,000 tons.
* * *
KN°CK off what you will for sinkings. Your guess is
better than any figure that has come through the
censorship. It still will be safe to say that—if Admiral
Stalk is light and we have brought the submarines under
control from the middle of this year thenceforward, we
shall have begun to break the bottleneck which is harnli-
cappmg war production and preventing us from taking the
oflensive against Hitler and Japan.
The hot weather we’ll be kicking about in a short
time is what we were looking forward to just a short time
ago.

The race for governor Is not
set.”
In other words, no single candi-
date among the four major candi- j
dates is far enough ahead of the I
field to feel certain of election.
This Is not new In Oklahoma poll- I
tics. It Is a tradition that goes far i
back. In 1930, William H. Murray j
closed with a rush and defeated j
Frank Buttrain. In 1934, E. W. Mar- |
land closed with a rush and de- i
feated Tom Anglin. In 1938, Leon
C. Phillips closed with a rush and
defeated W. S. Key.
The story of 1942 may not follow '
this pattern. The two men who are |
ahead today—Robert S. Kerr and j
Gomer Smith—may fight it out to j
the finish, with no fast-finishing
candidate edging them out at the
tape. Tins Is a war year, and
there is less interest in politics. As
u result, the man with the organ-
ization—and not the man who sud-
j donly "catches fire'—may win hands
down.
At this writing. Kerr has, far.
the strongest organization. His sup-
porters are organized in most of the j
counties, and he has more political
backers than his opponents have.
Gomer 8mith Is drawing together
a better organization than he has
had In any former race he has
run. and before the stretch drive
he expects to have every county
organized.
Whether the two other major
candidates, Frank P. Douglass and
Robert Burns, will be able to match
these organizations is doubtful, un-
less there occurs a strong swing
in public sentiment toward one or
the other. Douglass and his cum
paign manager. Lawrence Jones, are
working hard to build up organized i
support. Burns, on the other hand,
doesn't intend to have an organiza-
tion. He won't even have a paid
campaign manager.
Just what the effect of Burns'
entrance into the race will have on
the final outcome Is problematical.
While few observers give him a
chalice to win, he may, nevertheless,
toss into the race some important
issues which otherwise would never
have gained attention. For instance,
Burns, in utter disregard to the
political dynamite involved, ad-
vocates a specific expense-saving
platform. He wants to abolish
county courts, consolidate counties,
eliminate the state tax commission
and institute other economy meas-
ures.
Burns may force the otlirr candi-
dates, who have been rather non-
committal on specific methods by
which expenditures can be reduced,
to declare themselves one way or
the other.

lTOLLYWOOD, May 14 — (U.R>—
Twenty years ago it was the
flapper. Then came the career
woman, the spoiled debutante and
the pre-Pearl Harbor glamour girl.
Now the war has developed a
new type of woman, according to
actress Mary Astor, who suggests
the terms “emergency girl” or
“grit girl” to describe her.
The new sort of woman, al-
though definitely a product war-
time living, is not necessarily a
vital part of the war machine,
says Miss Astor.
She may be just a housewife,
a stenographer, a saleswoman, or
even an actress. But she is a wo-
man determined to find her place
in the new scheme of life.
"Twenty years ago we had the
flapper, that short-skirted, short-
haired young thing who wasn't
supposed to know anything but sex
and bad glp,” she recalls.
“Then we got into the days of
the career woman, the independ-
ent, brilliant, hard-working suc-
cess type. Next came the spoiled
debutante, the pouty but desir-
able cafe society habitue.
“Until recently it’s been the
glamour girl, the highly publi-
cized female who was supposedly
everything attractive and excit-
ing that a woman can be. She
served her purpose, all right, but
she’s somewhat passe now.” •
The new type, the actress con-
tinues, is none of these things.
She's the thoughtful, industrious,
serious American woman who can
be depended upon to think things
through yet can also be charming
and feminine in her lighter mom-
ents. In that respect she’s a morale
builder, Miss Astor thinks.
She tries to live up to this
idea of the new type woman.
Working hard in “Across the Pac-
ific." she still finds time to at-
tend to her numerous outside act-
ivities as well as her home, family
and civilian defense work.

OFTEN In the state capltol
these words arc heard: "The
man who beats Gomer Smith will
be the next governor.”
The implication is that Smith will
lose but that he won’t run third
or fourth. Many persons feel that,
before the campaign is over, the
cry of "beat Gomer” will be the
principal issue of the campaign,
with each of the other candidates
declaring he is the man to turn the
trick.
Kerr's supporters freely admit that
Smith Is the man to beat, as the
picture appears today. They are
Jubilant over the fact that Henry
G. Bennett, president of Oklahoma
A. and M. college, changed his mind
and decided not to run. Otherwise,
precious. Kerr votes, they believe,
would have gone to Bennett, auto- I
matically electing Smith.
However, the Issues of the cam-1
paign still arc doubtful. All candi- |
dates will beat the war drums and
advocate an unequivocal victory
program. But the local state is-
sues which may determine the ulti- ]
mate winner are yet undefined.
Smith's platform of a graduated
land tax, cooperative medicine and
free textbook may set the stage. With
the state financial budget already
balanced by the present administra-
tion’s budget-balancing amendment,
the issue of cutting expenses, which
Bums is advocating, may lose some
of Its edge. It is notable that none
of the candidates, most of whom
are openly opposed to Governor
Phillips, have advocated repeal of
the budget-balancing program.

AN EFFORT to bring to the
voter's attention the unlortunate
situation whereby a woman is bar-
red from holding a major state of-
fice. Mrs. Mildred Harrell oi Okla-
homa City intentionally li'ed for
governor knowing that her candi-
dacy would be rejected by the state
election board.
Efforts in the past to change the
constitution and allow women to
hold major state otlices have been
defeated by the silent vote. The
measure always has been submitted
in general elections, never in a spe-
cial election. In such coses, the
silent vote is counted as u "no"
vote.
Next November at the general elec-
tion the same measure will be up
