WASHINGTON-T half a century Franklin Roosevelt and Henry L. Stimson have differed on almost everything political. But at the Gridiron dinner the other night. Roosevelt paid his Republican Sec retary of War one of the finest trib-- utes he has ever given anyone in public life.
 In paying this tribute, the Presi- dent preached sermon which would have made an excellent fire side chat. The inner circle would have liked it to be broadcast to the nation instead of restricted to a limited group. It was sermon on keeping faith-keeping faith with the ideals of peace, and the ideals of democracy.
 The Gridiron dinner struck more sombre, restrained note this year A lot of the usual partisan vitriol was absent, and Roosevelt, noting this restraint, said in his introduction that it was all-important in the present state of the world for peo- pie not to lose the ability to laugh.
 Humor, he said. was an essential to everyone in public office, and he had had occasion to turn down one distinguished man for an inn portant post because he completely lacked a sense of humor.
 The most important thing in the world today, he vent onHwas that people should not lose faith. Greece and Yugoslavia had net loet faith. France must not lose faith. If the nations under attack today lost faith. then all that we hope for in the world today would vanish.
 The suffering people of the world, he said, must keep faith in their democratic ideals and in their hope for peace.
 It was in this connection that the President paid his tribute to his

LONDON, April IT. = Hundreds of Nazi planes roared continuously over London for eight hours last night and early today to drop ur,- counted tons of high explosive and fire bombs in the heaviest air raid of the present war.
 Morgues are piled high with the dead and hospitals are damned with the injured.
 Blocks on blocks of wreckage are smouldering.
 No one has any accurate idea of the dead sand wounded nor the amount of property damage in the already battered British Capital City but no one doubts the in tensity of the attack.
 Thousands of explosive and fire bombs fell on the city.
 Observers compared it with the fierce raid on Coventry and said it was worse than anything seen in London during the height of the Ndzl dSShultS idSI dututiiii.

BIG BABY BOND POSTER

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Capi- tai talk:
 Secretary of the Treasury Nor genthau has picked his poster for the big baby bond campaign that soon is going to be waged. It's a Minute Man Daniel Chester French's, think. Across the pos ter will be that old fighting motto: America on Guard.'''
 The pretty Long Island debu- tante, Sarah Alden Derby, is secretary in the office of Rep. Jo- seph Clark Baldwin, 3rd. Miss Derby is one of the Roosevelts-- the Republican Roosevelts. She's the granddaughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. Says Miss Derby: I'm too busy with my career to think about either so- ciety or politics"
 AN ALDEN YEAR
 You can always tell when it's spring in Washington. Days or weeks before it arrives, the powers that be get together and select the queen of the Cherry Blossom Festival. Then they go into hud- dle with the chief of the Weather Bureau and select a date, which is wrong about seven times out of ten. The error doesn't matter much because whatever day they pick, be it good weather or bad, attracts more tourists than the hotels can accommodate or the store clerks can serve.
 The queen" this year is IT, year-old Nancy Alden Git seems to be an Alden yeap Strong. Il would almost bet that neither you nor Nancy can name one of her predecessors. Like the cherry blos- soms around the tidal basin, fame is that fleeting.
