as popular as Mrs. Roosevelt There
are number of reasons for this, but
mainly it is due to his plea to the
moving picture industry, year or so
ago to cease discrimination against
the Negroes. This plea was so earnest
and imprisoned as to sweep the i'm
portant Negro leaders who heard it
off their feet and win for Mr.. Willkie
their unstinted friendship and graft
tude. The really practical politicians
believe that any considerable loss of
his Negro support would more surely
defeat Mr.. Roosevelt than anything
else. Certainly he could not have won
without it last time.

WILLKIE AND THE NEGROS

The situation which the aggressive
candidacy of Willkie has made in the
Republican party is not wholly with
out humor. Certainly, there is some
thing amusing in the inability of the
Republican politicians who so violent
ly oppose him to conceal their inner
anxiety lest they have guessed wrong
and the ubiquitous and turbulent gen
tleman from Indiana not only acquire
the nomination but be elected as well.
Their bitterness toward Mr.. Willkie
is intense. Particularly is this so
among Republican Senators. Four
fifths Of these are exceedingly hostile
to this nomination, and it is proba-
bly, true that most of the Republicans
in the House are distinctly unfriend-
ly. In addition, a poll of the Republi-
can National Committee, at the mo-
ment, would reveal much more than
a majority of anti-Willkie members.
When one reflects that these three
groups-the Republican Senators, the
Republican Representatives and the
Republican Committeemen-are nor
mally dominant in Republican organi-
cation politics and normally in con-
troll of the delegations to the national
convention from their respective
States, the prospects of Mr.. WILKES
nomination would seem extremely re-
mote.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1943-11-11

Indeed, they would be completely
negligible but for certain political as
sets which are peculiarly his own and
which to a considerable extent offset
his party opposition and balance his
lack of tact, taste and discernment. In
the interests of clarity it may be use
full to present them. There is, for ex-
ample, his absolute confidence in him
self He not only is sure that he will
be nominated, but he is just as sure
that he will be elected. 1t must be ad-
mitted that a plausible argument can
be made on both counts. So far as the
nomination is concerned in June, 1910,
when he got to Philadelphia, he had
much the same political setup against
him as he has today. In little more
than a week he had overcome the OPP
position and routed the two leading
andidates-Senator Taft and Mr..
Dewey.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1943-11-11

This time, Mr.. Willkie is the only
open and active candidate for the
nomination. He has been working like
beaver for the last two months. For
the next eight, all his energy and
time will be devoted to promoting
lis candidacy. No other man men,
toned for the nomination is in posi-
ton to challenge him. The two other
outstanding possibilities - Governor
Dewey and General MacArthur-are
debarred not only from any move
ment in their own interests but from
any encouragement of their friends.
The general, by his position, and the
Governor, by his public and private
statements, are removed from the
fields and could enter only in the event
of a genuine and utterly implanted
draft" such as has never occurred be-
fore.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1943-11-11

Couple all this with the facts that
Mr. Willkie has a potent press sup
port and a real popular following,
and. despite the bitterness toward
him, his advantages in the nomination
race are obvious. AS for the election,
his friends point out that Mr.. Roose
welt defeated him in 1910 by major
ity of less than 100000; that in the
nature of things the President cannot
be as strong now as he was then; that
a shift of less than half million
votes in the pivotal States would re-
verse the result; that Mr.. Willkie has
not lost strength since 1910 but has
gained it. and that the Republicans
who oppose him for the nomination
will support him after he gets it,
All of this is, of course, one
sided argument and will be vigorously
disnutcd by those who regard Mr..
Willkic as almost as much a New
Dealer as Mr. Roosevelt and hold it
would re suicidal" for the Repub-
licans to nominate him. There are a
good many such in the parry. Never
theless, there is one asset which Mi,
Willkic has acquired since 1910 that
ought not to he overlooked. That is
the progress he has made with the Nc
gro vote, which more or less holds the
balance of power in eight or nine
pivotal States above the Mason and
Dixon line. In 1886 and again in 1910
though for fifty years this vote had
belonged to the Republican party, Mr..
Roosevelt got more than ninety per
cent of it. This was partly due to Fed
eral patronage and the WPA, but a
very great contributing factor was
Mrs. Roosevelt. Mr. Farley, who di-
rcctcd the early New Deal strategy
to capture the Negroes, thinks She
should get the largest credit.
Now the claim is made by his
Gricnds-and also by some detached
and posted observers-that Mr.. Will
kie has acquired great strength among
the Negro leaders; that he would poll
more Negro votes against Mr.. Roosc-
vel than any other Republican candi-
date; that he is, in fact, as popular as
Mr.. Roosevelt with them, though not

Back From the Wars
ID. c. Bombordier Battling Jops
Since Pearl Hurbor Assault

Ever since December 7, 194l
when Jap bombs wounded him and
partially destroyed his plane at
Hickman Field, Hawaii, Master
Sergt. English F. Beach, Army Air
Forces bombardier from Washing
ton, has been busy in the Pacific,
either dropping bombs or dodging
them.
His bombs helped sink a Jap
cruiser in the battle of Midway. He
took part in the first American
bombing raid on Wake. Then, for
more than year, he was based at
Henderson Field on Guadalcanal,
flying missions in the Solomons and
occasionally moving to Australia for
raids over New Guinea.
In August, Sergt. Beach was
wounded by a Zero's bullet that
blew up under the seat of his Flying
Fortress on the way to bomb Bou-
gainville. He's back home now,
stopping off en- route to a new sta
ton to visit his two sisters here. He
has the Distinguished Flying Gross,
the Silver Star and the Air Medal to
show for his 81 bombing missions
and two years of war against the
Japs. The Flying Cross was award
ed him because of his overall rec
ord as bombardier.
Sergt. Beach won the Silver Star
for gallantry in action in the Mid
way battle. He flew six bombing
missions there, and remembers how,
because of their inexperience, he

and other men in the Bits swept
down at heights of only $500 to
$500 feet to bomb the Japanese
naval vessels.
The first American bombing raid
on Jap-held Wake originated from
location that still is secret and
caught the enemy unprepared.
There was little anti-aircraft fire,
and all morning Sergt. Beach saw
only one Zero in the air. The one
Zero stayed his distance and the
Americans pattern bombed oil
dumps and planes standing on the
ground.
Sergt. Beach moved to Guadal-
canal in October, 1912, and be-
gan flying missions against Jap in
stallations in the Solomons. Many
Of these were one-plane raids on
small targets, designed to harass the
Japs and keep them moving
around"
For one of these single plane
raids, that destroyed large fuel
dump on Buka, Sergt. Beach was
awarded his air medal.
There was pretty heavy anti
aircraft fire" he recalls. And we
ran into some Zeros, which tailed
us for awhile. But we just made
one run over the target and dropped
two block-busters on 1t. 1t made
the hell of a big fire.
Evening star., 1943-12-10

serst Beach is as years old and
attended Gordon Junior High and
Western High School here. He was
in the Army, stationed in Panama,
between 1896 and 1898. He then
drove a fuel oil truck for the Grit
fifth Consumers Co. here before re-
joining the service in 1910 for duty
in Hawaii.
At the time he re-enlisted in the
Army Sergt. Beach lived at 63l6
Powhatan street NE, in Riverdale.
Nd, with his sister, Mrs. c. F.
Smith, who still resides at that ad-
dress. Another sister, Mrs. j. S.
Burrows, also lives in the Dis
trictI Sergt. Beach also has two
brothers, one in the Army Engineer
Corps and the other in South Caro-
lima.
Evening star., 1943-12-10

Much of the time he was on
Guadalcanal Sergt. Beach was a
member Of the crew of the Blue
Goose" Bit famed for pursuing
attacking Zeros. The Blue Goose"
finally was shot down by antiair-
craft fire, but Sergt. Beach was Ill
with malaria and not with the crew
at the time. The last crew he was
with had seven Zeros to its credit.
