Even If It make yon wlnre, there Is no escaping the fact that all these things shape up to millions of into an appeal American voters. Franklin Jun-ior is a mere kid, long hop from a statesman and a green hand on the squad, but the name, the model and the man-ner represent advertising as-sets. Any company selling soap, shav-in- g cream or cigarettes that had lost its trademark and suddenly discovered an exact duplicate would cheer no more loudly than the New Deal addicts are cheering at the moment. They think Junior has the same box-offic- e appeal. "Run this right," declared a smart Democratic politician the other day, "and in five or six years there will be plenty of voters who will think daddy has returned from the grave." "Wanna bet?" Is the an-swer of others. "The Imitation never sells like the original. No matter how they stage-manag- e it. Junior will always be Just a copy." But neither side is positive. And that's what is causing so many arguments. Elmer Twitchell went out as an Inquiring Reporter the other day and asked the question, "Do you think F. D. Roosevelt, Jr., is ever likely to be President?" The re-sults follow: McSheddy, Jabez, Z., house-paint-and lifelong Republican: "When you ask me that smile!" Botts, Peter D. L skywriter and Democrat: "The kid is as good as in. I knew the old man woud spring a surprise like this." Hemstitch, Rudolph, advertising agent and G.O.P. leader: "Would you mind repeating that question. And if I heard you right the first time, please pass the aspirin." Crummett, Alonzo, engineer and New Dealer by habit and instinct: "Listen, bub, if the kid sounds right over radio hookups, develops that old toss of the head and shows a scorn for other people's dough, he is good for five terms."

BONUS BILL: Idea Won't Die Tennessee! Representative Ran-kin was nothing if not persistent. The Democratic legislator again was planning a measure to obtain a bonus for U.S. war veterans. THE chairman of the house vet-erans committee disclosed that he was grooming a multi-billio- n dollar bonus bill as a follow-u- p to veter-ans' pension legislation. He Indi-cated he might seek action at this session. Whether he knew it or not, he was in for soma rough sledding, for even as he discussed the proposed measure, some members of his committee voiced the belief there would be no more major veterans' benefit bills reported out of com-mittee at this session. COMMENTING on his measure. Rankin said he regarded adjusted compensation or bonus as a possible solution to the whole ques-tion of veterans' benefits. He has managed to bottle up measures to extend the "52-20- " GI Jobless pay beyond the July 23 expiration date, terming unem-ployment payments "rocking chair money."

In that program was mentioned ."point four" one of the proposals he made and one which raised some eyebrows and set off no end of speculation on "when and how." "POINT FOUR" was a proposal to share United States "know-how- " In varied fields with other friendly nations of the world. In that pro-posal, the President asked con-gress to go along with a plan to let such nations in on how the U.S. does things economically, me-chanically, Industrially. After speculation died down there was nothing more said about "point four" until recently. Then, Presi-- Top Teacher fits." AIRLIFT: An Anniversary The winged boxcar flew Into Ber-lin's Templehof airdrome. It landed five tons of steel wool and textiles on the concrete airstrip at exactly 12 o'clock. THE LANDING was accom-plished In magnificent solitude. However, it was an event of a sort that seldom goes unnoticed. For that landing rounded out one solid year of "Operation Airlift" the hottest weapon in the cold war. Despite that, it was probably one of the most unattended birthdays in history. The American twin-engin- e nicknamed "the flying boxcar," trundled to a loading sta-tion like any other plane. THE FLIGHT, made by Lt. Michael B. Seeley, Bakersfield, Cal., was the 235,314th of the 365-da- y airlift. His load brought the total to a million, 943,655.9 tons of food, coal, machinery and other supplies that kept Berlin going dur-ing the Russian blockade. The combined British-America- n task force was dumping an average of 8,200 tons daily Into the city with such ease nobody paid much attention to it any more. WAGES: Hike on Way? A bill to increase the present minimum wage in the United States from 40 to 75 cents an hour had cleared its first hurdle and was on its way to further consid-eration. THE measure was approved un-animously by the senate labor com-mittee. Senator Pepper (D., Fla.), a com-mittee member, said the labor de-partment figured that if the bill became law it would mean pay raises for about 1.25 million work-ers who in interstate commerce now make less than 75 cents an hour. However, the senate committee did not go along with the idea that the law should be broadened to in-clude many workers not covered by it now. PEPPER said that the bill had been broadened so that it included only an additional 100,000 non-far-workers. These, he said, are en-gaged in processing agriculture products in "areas of pro-duction." Recovering Sarah Churchill, left, daugh-ter of England's Winston Churchill, had the best possible coaching for her stage role In "The Philadelphia Story." Her tutor, at right, was Tallulah Rankhead, famed stage and screen actress. TRADE PACT: Britons Jump Gun In matters affecting its own wel-fare, Great Britain never has taken any but the realistic view, hence the signing of a five-yea- r trade pact with Argentina a pact to which the United States has vigor-ously objected. THE PACT, calling for totaling 500 million dollars the first year, and looking to at least an equal volume the other years, commits the two nations to virtual barter. The U.S. objected to the pact on the grounds that it violates the spirit of free competitive interna-tional trade. Argentine President Juan Peron rapped outside criticism in a speech at ceremonies marking the end of negotiations which lasted more than five months. "It is not possible." he said, "to hide the evil intentions and evil designs behind this criticism. This type of economic warfare is a sign of incapacity." OPEN criticism of British action came from Senator Wherry (R., Neb.) who accused Britain of "selfishly promoting her own eco-nomic interests at the expense of the U.S. and European countries." He contended that the pact "de-feats the very purpose of recovery and free exchange of goods in the world." Paul G. Hoffman, U. S. economic cooperation administrator, also was concerned. He said he was strongly opposed to this type of "bilateral agreement" and that he would use every influence to dis-courage such two-wa- y pacts. LANDLORDS: 'Freeze' Is Out Landlords would breathe with some relief as they read the latest announcement by federal housing expediter Tighe Woods. Woods said "the freeze principle of rent control is now a thing of the past." FOUR new rules easing rent con-trols would indicate that was the situation, but a closer look might raise some doubts. First, owners putting more value into their property would be in line to collect increased rents. Then, local rent officials would have more leeway in adjusting rent ceil-ings in harmony with local real dent Truman told congress exactly what he wanted. First, he asked for 45 million dollars to help the backward countries of the world through U.S. aid. CALLING that a first step, he listed some other factors also as "preliminaries." These Included: Technical assistance to be pro-vided through the United Nations or directly by the United States. Private investment to turn unde-veloped areas into producing for the world economy. Authority delegated by the con-gress to the President to give him power to administer the program and authority to delegate it to the secretary of state and to other government officers as he deems appropriate. "WE are here embarking on a venture that extends far Into the future," he told congress. He added that "grinding poverty and the lack of opportunity for many mil-lions of people in . . . certain re-gions . . . constitute the greatest challenge of the world today." A-BO- USE: Limits Asked How would Idealism fare against expediency in the matter of atomic bomb use in a war crisis? That was a question with which congress was being asked to deal. Senator Flanders (R., Vt.) asked congress to declare the atomic bomb as a weapon of defense only for the free nations not to be used unless an aggressor hurls it first. TO RISK a masterpiece of un-derstatement, that could be a most dangerous policy as even a child could see. Give an agressor first shot at us with the bomb before we retaliate? Some' critics of such a plan might reasonably demand: How silly can you get? An enemy equipped with enough bombs, and permitted first drop, could put this nation, or any nation, In such a fix that there'd be no use and no opportunity to retaliate with the bomb. From here lt looks as though Senator Flanders may have nothing but his trouble for his work. FLANDERS explained his plan as one which he believed might speed the United Nations' efforts to write an agreement on world-wid- e control of atomic energy. Asked whether his plan might not arouse criticism that this coun-try is denying itself its foremost weapon, the senator replied, "I don't think we should sell ouf Im-mortal souls to the devil." But in the American concept, stemming from 1776, to sell one's freedom to an enemy through non-us- e of the bomb might be tanta-mount to the situation which the senator finds distasteful. j -- r : - j estate principles. Third would be the elimination of the "freeze" principle, and, fourth, making an "opinion" as to probable rent hike limits available to landlords be-fore they actually repair or im-prove their property. BUT and there were three of these the tenants still have pro-tection. The proposed repairs or improvements can only be made with the tenant's permission, how-ever, with these conditions the tenant may be overruled: 1. If the improvement is needed to maintain the property. 2. Where the improvements are consistent with local "practices and customs" or property manage-ment. 3. If the change is such as would Increase the rental value in a nor-mal market where free bargaining prevailed. The rules were dispatched to all rent offices, Woods said. ECONOMY: Warning Sounded President Truman's administra-tion was coming in for some criti-cism as a result of the current bi-partisan economy drive in con-gress. Senator Aitken (R., Vt.) warned that if the drive succeeds, lt will put a powerful political wea-pon in President Truman's hands and in an election year, at that. Aitken argued that it would be tantamount to handing the Presi-dent a two billion dollar campaign fund for the congressional elec-tions next year. FIFTY-SI- senators 21 Demo-crats and 35 Republicans have signed a petition to take up a res-olution which would force Truman to balance the budget by cutting federal operating appropriations from five to 10 per cent in the fis-cal year. Eddie Waitkus, star first base-man of the Philadelphia Phil-lies, who was shot by ar old Ruth Steinhagen, was up and around again. It was be-lieved he would be able to re-join the team and play some more ball this season. SEARCH: Keep It Legal The United States supreme court ruled that search and seizure must always be within the law and that states as well as the federal gov-ernment must guarantee citizens protection against illegal practices. BUT there was a difference. The court held that evidence illegally secured may be used In state courts, if state law so permits, but such evidence still cannot be used in federal courts.

Corner ANDY had sensitive eyes and hands but Leonie, born and bred a westerner of pioneer stock, was human. She loved him. It wasn't until after they were mar-ried that she discovered he was a physical coward. She found out the night of Serena Boone's engagement party. Tony Swift was there. As usual he was drunk. He was a handsome devil, this Tony, tall and bronzed and reckless. He had been Leonie's childhood sweet-- I heart. Folks -- Minute said she would 3 Fiction have rnarried him if it wprpn't home. As he strode up the walk he heard a cry. He burst open the door and found Tony Swift trying to kiss his wife. Tony wasn't drunk. He was babbling something about Leonie really loving him. Tony whirled at the sound Andy made. His lip curled. "Oho! The sissy from Bos " Andy strode across the floor. His face was black. "I guess," he said bitterly; "you're dumb, after all. You need teaching." He struck out. Tony tried to dodge, but Andy's fist clipped him on the chin so hard that he went down. "Damn you!" He lunged, but Andy wasn't where he expected. Andy's fist flashed out again, and again Tony went down. Andy Jerked him to his feet ud again. He hit him i third: a fourth. Blood covered face. Tony whimpered to Andy dragged him to the t threw him out "Andy!" Leonie fled arms. "Oh, my darling, y wonderful! Oh, precious me for what I said. A:, didn't you do that be!: night at the dance?" Andy frowned, "ll, honey, I don't like to u see? He was drunk to was no need." Leonie laid her head on t der. "I see, darling. G I see." But she didn't for his drinking. The first thing Tony saw when he came through the door was Le-onie and Andy dancing together. A scowl crossed his face. Then he laughed. When they whirled past him he stepped up and whacked Andy on the back. "Tony's cut." he grinned. "Make way for a man." Leonie flushed. Andy hesitated, looked at Tony, then gave way smil-ing. "Sure thing," he said. "Your dance, Tony." As soon as she could, without ap-pearing too obvious, she asked Andy to take her home. There she accused: "Why did you let him insult you? Oh. the shame of it!" Andy was startled and bewi-ldered. "Let who insult me, honey." "Who?" She stared at him. "Tuny Swift, of course! I was never so humiliated in my life." "Tony? Oh, you mean be-cause of what he said? Shmks, honey, Tony didn't mean any-thing. He was drunk." The appalling truth flashed across Leonie's brain in that mo-ment. Andy was a coward! He'd been afraid of Tony, which was why he evaded the issue! With a little whimpering cry she turned and ran sobbing from the room. A week later, on Saturday night Andy stopped by at Seth Larcey' store to see Seth on a matter of business. A couple of boys from his mine were there, drinking at the bar. Minutes later, talking with Seth. he heard a rumpus out front Investigating he discovered that two boys were engaged in a brawl with three men from the Bar V cattle ranch. Andy stood bv and watched a while. Others joined in It began to look as though the place would be wrecked. Andy got out of there. Leonie heard about it the next day. That settled things for her. IINDY was bewildered and The next day he found himself brooding over the situation By he could stand it no longer.
