The whole country is very much worked up because President Roosevelt had the Army take over Montgomery Ward and Company. The dispute was over CIO trouble. Everyone's sympathy seems to be with the company because the government does not do anything to force the CIO members to work when on strike. At present there are strikes going on in San Francisco and Detroit that are holding up ships from sailing. On the local level the elections are not very exciting except for State Senator for which there are five candidates: Jack Metzger, Roy Dearmore, a guy named Coryell from Richfield, Stanley Pugh and Louis Sutton from Colusa. Looks like Roosevelt will be the Democratic nominee and Thomas Dewey or Earl Warren the Republican nominee. My brother Everett finally got overseas after being in the states for 2 years.
