 After some correspondence with the Veterans administration by Rowe, and the preparation of an affidavit by Hinton, the dead boys insurance was paid. Whereupon Hinton sent the father bill for $50. When Vandevier complained about this, the fee was adjusted to $25.
 Mrs. Nelson, former secretary to Rowe, says that the Congress man gave her instructions to refer many constituents to Hinton so that he might be reimbursed for his campaign expenses.
 BALL OUTSHINES BOYER
 Hollywood star Charles Boyer has been one of FDR's ar- dent campaigners. But when he makes 8 speech, he is careful about police protection = especially when there is a large proportion of females in the audience.
 At Hunter College, New York's leading college for women, the famed Boyer requested in advance in his speech that he be given extra police to keep away auto- graph hunters, and special place to park his car so he could get away in a hurry.
 Came the speech. Boyer did swell job. But there was no stampede of autOgraph-seekers.
 Instead, Joe Ball, sincere, sta-
 tuesque senator from Minnesota, stole the show. Ball talked about
 international cooperation, and why he was supporting Roosevelt for future peace.
 Afterward, the women flocked around Lincolnesque Joe Ball. The usually lionized Boyer had no trouble making getaway, almost unnoticed.
 NAVY INTEREST
 IN ARKANSAS
 Aside from the future of its Commander-in- Chief, the Navy Navy Department also has a pe- culiar interest in this election, especially in Arkansas, which is voting on a state constitutional amendment whihc would ban closed shop unions.
 The Navy is not particularly noted as 8 champion of labor. Moreover, it so happens that it is contemplating construction of a huge plant for making rock cts on the Quchita river, near Camden, Arkansas. Rockets are counted on to play big part in the Pacific war, and the plant is needed in a hurry. However, if the Navy has to worry about vio- lating the technicalities of State law under whihc certain construc- tion unions canont or will not work, officials say they will prob- ably put their rocket plant in some other state.
 The Arkansas amendment, in- Cidentally, is similar to one be- ing voted on in Florida and Cali fOrnia, and is being quietly backed by Senator "Pappy" o.
 Daniel of Texas and Vance Muse, with a lot of Texas oil
 men and big Eastern indus
 trialist money behind them.
 Muse is the man who, in 1886, persuaded the du Fonts to shell out several thousand dollars to finance his Southren Committee to uphold the Constitution and its "grass roots" convention at Macon Ga. Only trouble with the grass rotoS meeting was that the big money boys put up auu the dough and the real people of the outh had little to do with it.
 UTAH SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
 President Roosevelt has told advisers that, if there wasn't a war on, one State in which he would have liked to campaign this year is Utah-not because he considers it doubtful, but to sup port his old friend, Senator FL bert Thomas.
 Thomas, now chairman of the important Senate Education and Labor Committee, has helped pioneer some of Roosevelt's im- portant progressive legislation, in addition to being key member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Military Affairs Committees.
 He is being opposed this year by Adam S. Bennion, leading Mormon utility lawyer with the backing of the reactionary hier- archy Of the Mormon Cnurch. nsel eaa e the clanrcn today is
