with the pro-Roosevelt faction at
the party's national convention.
Mrs. Clara Driscoll of Corpus
Christ, national committeeman
Of Texas for the past 16 years and
the candidate selected by the pro-
Roosevelt group in their trump"
convention last May, is to. be ap-
pointed to ga position of honor and
responsibility on the national COM
mittee in reorganization of her SER
vices.
The committee action was on the
recommendation Of a subcommit-
tee which heard representatives of
both factions present their views. .
1t was the suggestion of Myron
B. Blalock of Marshall, Texas ma
tional committeeman, that Mrs.
Weinert be seated and Mrs. Dris-
coll made an honorary vice chair
man, of the committee.
Speaking on behalf of Mrs. Dris-
coll, Herman Jones of Austin, lead
er of the pro-Roosevelt delegation
pleaded with the committee to "fol-
low the course" of the convention
in giving equal honors and repre-
sentation to the opposing Texas
factions.
He declared that while Blalock
was selected by both groups as ma
tional committeeman, he seems
to have relinquished the position
Of representative of this tpro =

Mrs. Driscoll as committeewoman,
he contended, would give the pro-
Roosevelt forces an equal voice

CABLE NEWS BAN

BUENOs AIRES, July 22-tR-
Argentine authorities today de-
cided to modify cable censorship
and permit events in the country
to be reported fully, with each
newspaper correspondent accept
ing personal responsibility for
the accuracy of his dispatches.
Orders to this effect were given
communications companies with
in few hours after correspondents
discussed the censorship problem
with Col. Juan PerJh, vice-presi-
dent and minister of war.
The interview with Peron, where
in relations between the govern
ment and the foreign press were
discussed with complete frank
was preceded by similar confer
ences with acting minister of the
interior admiral Alberto Tessaire,
and Oscar Lomuto, acting under
secretary of press and propagan-
da. Both of them pledged their
best efforts to eliminate the diff
ficulties which hampered truth
full reporting of news from Argen-
tina for more than a year.
In this mornings conference
Peron expressed the opinion that
the Argentine position is misun-
derstood abroad because of in
adequate and frequently inaccu-
rate information published re-
garding events in the country.
He expressed willingness to
place himself at the disposal OF
correspondents IN order to in
form them trutflfully concerning
the activities OF the vice-presi-
dent, minister Of war and secre-
airy Of labor and welfare, three
posts he fills.
The correspondents expressed
the opinion that the situation was
due partly to he fact ha expert
enced newspapermen accredited
to Argentina have not been per-
mitted to report news of Argen-
tina freely, promptly and with
complete accuracy. Peron, in re-
ply, stressed the responsibility of
each correspondent to verify news
and refrain from transmitting SEN
sationa1 and unconfirmed rumors.

seems ii was a deplorable little
street, given over entirely 10
red light business.
The state of Ohio never would
have pointed to il with pride.
Rep. Jenkins urged that the
present Blandensburg road be
renamed Ohio avenue. In get
ting this achieved he will have
a terrific fight, on his hands be-
cause he has big strike against
him, in addition to being a Re-
publican.
Blandensburg is an historic
name. It was the scene of a
famous battle In the War of
1912. The British fought their
bloody way through II after
landing at Benedict, Md, on the
Patuxent River. and moved on
up to burn the capital.
1t was also a famous duelling
ground. Stephen Decatur was
shot there.
There is always the chance,
OF course. that Rep. Jenkins
may be able to enlist the sup
port of Lord Halifax for the
name-changing. but I am conf
dentially advising all my clients
not TO bet on IT.
IT TAKES an act OF Congress
L to change the name of a
street in Washington. They had
quite a TODD about this some
time ago.
The discovery was made that
the city had three thorough
fares named "Jefferson"-two
Jefferson streets and a Jeffer-
son Place. Certain parties fig
ured this was too much-even
for Jefferson.
Well, there was feeling
against changing the name OF
Jefferson Place because one Of
its householders was-and is

il is not considered wise TO con-
fuse him with name-changing.
So the solution was worked out
very ingeniously. jefferson
Place was left Jefferson Place
and one OF the Jefferson streets
was left Jefferson street.
The other Jefferson street
was renamed. You'll simply
never guess how-but il repre-
sents sheer inspiration.

IT IS refreshing in this era OF
i double-talk to listen 10
political speech by a candidate
for the presidency in which the
problems and issues facing the
American people are discussed
vigorously, constructively, with
hedging, no surplus wordage, no
antiquities.
Tom Dewey's speeches must
convince even his opponents that
here at last is a man who hav-
ing a case states it with clarity
of thought, precision of language
and fearlessness as to the conse-
quences.
He pulled no punches in the
hope of winning over this or that
group.
He said what he had to say
with cheering candor.
The entire performance came
as a relief from the meaningless
and attitudinizing secrecy and
superiority of his opponent.
MO ONE who listened to or
~ read the first d e We y
speeches can doubt his right 10
be a candidate for the presi-
dency.
In his very first speech he
stated his philosophy for the
American people.
1t is a vigorous, wholesome
philosophy based upon the mimi
table record of three centuries
on this continent of the most
constructive activities ever evil
denced in any period anywhere
upon this earth.
Americans, originating in all
parts of the world. built here not
only of free society. but an
energetic, dynamic, forward
moving civilization.
Tom Dewey sees nothing in
the experience Of the past ID
years to give the tie to our total
experience of 300 years.
We Americans still remain the
most dynamic people on earth.
In fact, his position is that
our progress is in its infancy.
that the vistas that open be-
fore us even at this momeent Of
war and distress prove that our
civilization is not aged nor ever
mature-that we are only at
the moment pausing for an on
ward push that will make
everything that came before
only a crawl in the right diiCo-
ton.
He does not believe that
Americans are frightened,
dependent. begging people
scared by their own accom-
plishments.
HIS is a philosophy of fsi'h
IL in this dynamic capacity
of the American people.

ton that looks back upon the
good old days which will arc

MAJOR DE SEVERSkY

They will want to know why,
after five years of this World
War, our air power still works
under such primitive handicaps?
Why must we fight and die
for bases 500 or 600 miles from
Japan, when for SO many years
aviation engineering has been
able to provide planes to OPP
crate from bases already in
Our hands, and ciamoring for
the right TO build them?
The people will want to know,
and they have right to a di-
rect answer, why we have been
so generous in expending Amer
lean lives TO take Jap atoiis,
but so niggardly with our slide
rules on the drafting boards.
Mere enlargement of the scale
of designing in 1939-1941 would
have obviated this need TO bring
our air power as close to the
enemy targets.
TIE same sort of question
l. must reasonably be raised
in connection with the escort
problem.
Why are we without proper
escort aviation after three years
of our war and five years OF the
European war?
