Mother of Flyer, Killed
Abroad, Carries On in Rodeo
Receives Letter
From Only Son
After His Deuth

The creed among actors that "the
show must 60 on" is holding
Georgia Sweet to her role as rider
with a rodeo at Riverside Stadium,
despite the fact she received word
10 days ago of the death Of her
only son, a member of the Royal
Canadian Air Force in England.
Miss Sweet, who is Mrs. Georgia
Sweet Gillian in private life, said
last night as she prepared to go on
with her act that earlier yesterday
she had received letter written by
her boy, Philip Sweet, on March 10.
According to a cablegram she re-
ceived from British authorities, her
son was killed March u in some
manner undisclosed. He was buried
In Scotland three days later, on
what would have been his 22d BIRTH
day anniversary.
Miss Sweet was In Chicago when
she received the cable, but came
on to washington with the show
Col. Jim Eskew's Rodeo-when 1t
left the following day.
Her son, she said, was squadron
leader who was principally engaged
as an instructor in night fighting.
He received his training in Canada
last spring and has been in Scotland
seven months. With the recent
agreement for transfer of members
Of the armed forces of Britain who
are Americans to this country's
forces, Squadron Leader Sweet had
been anxious to join Uncle Sans
air force and had planned on max
ing the change soon.
For a number of years she and
her son had been members of an
acrobatic team, Miss Sweet said. He
was born in Huron, S. Oak.
Also surviving the flyer are an
aunt. Mrs. Hazel Blake, and her
daughter, Miss Bonnie Blake, who
live at 90 Shepherd street NV.

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 10
Senator Green, Democrat, of Rhode

State convention here last night,
declared preference in the coming
election ought to be given candi-
dates who had supported the Presi-
cent rather than to critics of his
war program.
He praised Gov. Robert A. Hurley
as one of those who had been alert
to speed war production and called
for his reelection. Gov. Hurley,
unopposed for denomination, will be
put before the convention today.
1T Is not merely a question now
OF whether Republican or Dem
ocrat gets an Office" Senator Green
said. 1T is a question of whether
a war is to be won in the shortest
possible time; whether our Com
mander in Chief shall have our de-
voted support or whether his gi-
eantic task is to be complicated by
congressman and Governors and
legislators and other public officials
who think they can best contribute

If Mr.. Bennett should be defeat

November, these New Dealers will
be the first to say that Mr.. Farley
is to blame. They will charge he
caused a Democratic defeat by in
sisting upon the nomination of Mr..
Bennett, when the Labor party was

On the other hand, should the

Dewey, the supporters of Mr.. Far
ley and Mr.. Bennett will not hesi-
tate to lay the blame on the Presi-
dent If Bennett loses. Further
more, the probabilities are they will
| be outspoken in this matter.
While Mr.. Farley throughout the
pre- convention campaign and during
! the convention made no statement
attacking the President for support
ing Senator Mead and turning
against Mr.. Bennett, the New Deal
ers were vociferous in their attacks
on Mr.. Farley. The assertion was
