The two were comforting on con-
gressional matters, when SABBATH
remarked that he heartily ap-
proved of the rebuff of the COP
standard bearer. "You did right"
the white-crested dean of the
House said, ''but at that I'll bet
you would have liked to take him
on"
The President laughed and re-
piled by relating this experience:
AS a young lawyers just getting
started in New York, he said he
was retained to handle a diff
cult civil case. The opposing law
yer was a very effective jury
pleader and completely outshone
his youthful rival in the argu-
ment to the jury.
'But he made one fatal mis-
take" the President continued.
'He talked too much"
The attorney Grated to the jury
for several hours, and as he thun-
dered on, Roosevelt noticed that
the jury wasn't paying much at
tention. So, playing bunch when
his turn came, he rose an6 made
this brief statement:
Gentlemen, you have heard
the evidence. You also have lis
tened to my distinguished col
league, a brilliant orator. If you
believe him and disbelieve the
evidence, you will have to decide
in his favor. That's all 1 have
to say"
The jury was out only five min
utes and brought in verdict for
Roosevelt's client.
THAT was a good lesson,
Adolph," the President conclud-
ed, land I think it applies in
this case. My distinguished OPP
renent is over extending himself.
He is making statements that
he can never back up. 1t is not
necessary for me to answer him.
I am leaving my case with the
great American jury"
NOTE - Senator George Nor
ris, father of IVA, who recently
blasted Willkie as "a second In
sull," feels that Roosevelt has a
hard fight before him and strong
ly urged him to make a trans
continental campaign tour. The
Presidents reply was that he
couldn't go farther than six hours
from Washington. Norris now
plans to make a series of cam
paign talks in october.
CANADIAN PILOTS
One matter discussed by the
Joint U. S.-Canadian Defense
Board at its first meeting in Of
tawa was the training of Can
adam pilots in the United States
this winter.
Canada's severe weather makes
winter training extremely diff
cult for aviators. AS one Can
adam Board members expressed it,
"Your worst weather conditions are
better than our best" Also, Can
ada is seriously handicapped by
lack of training planes and in
StructorS.
The big pilot training program
being conducted by the q. s. gov
eminent has made it hard for
Canada to obtain trainer planes
and instructors here.
So the Dominion is eager
to set up q large school some
where in the u. s. South or
Southwest where Canadian
youths could receive flying in
structi0n this winter. II the
necessary facilities can be OBJ
tanned, Canada is ready to send
5000 men South for training.
AL the costs would be borne
by Canada. The only thing de-
sired by Canada is the privilege
Of establishing the school on q. 8.
soil.
NOTE - The y. s. Army has
trained military flyers from South
American countries for several
years. though only In very small
numbers.
