Tourists, but not native Hawaiians, are impressed by the name of Duke Kahanamoku. The onetime (1912, 1920) Olympic swimming champion, surfboard rider, swimming instructor and Waikiki Beach figure was simply christened "Duke," is no member of the islands' decayed nobility. But as a result of last fortnight's election, Duke Kahanamoku became peace officer of an area far larger than any dukedom. Democratic votes put the brown-skinned native in as Sheriff of Honolulu County, "world's largest," extending from Oahu Island 1,300 mi. northwest to Midway Island.

Opposition to the Sinclair candidacy was focused on the plump, round-faced and by no means inspiring person of Republican Frank Finley Merriam.

Most famed of Episcopal missionaries, he had journeyed down from Alaska where he has labored for 39 years, been put in books by Rex Beach and Jack London, and mushed, navigated and flown over 50,000 miles of Arctic wastes. Bishop Rowe is not yet ready to put his parka and fur boots in mothballs - unless his Church forces him to. Last week many a petition and resolution was given to committees of Bishops...
...Townsend, grey, gentle, diffident, lives with his wife Minnie in Long Beach, has a grown son and daughter close at hand. Happy are they in the faith that Papa's Plan will win national attention when Congress opens. That a groundswell of public sentiment for old age pensions is rising was indicated last week by results of a New York Herald Tribune questionnaire. Of nearly 5,000 U. S. newspaper and farm journal editors who replied, two-thirds reported their communities solidly behind some compulsory government sys tem of old age pensions. Of many another New Deal plank, only minimum...
