REPUBLICANS - :. wa tam
BY WILLIAM J. CONWAY

CHICAGO. April 20-(P)-A
Dewey Warren combination
bulked large today in specula-
ton of Republican leaders about
the makeup of the ticket the
party will submit to the nation.
Some members of the party S
national and arr angements
committees asserted the tide
was running toward Gov. Tho
mas E. Dewey of New York for
the presidential place on the
slate and Gov. Earl Warren of
California for the vice-presiden-
tial niche, but a few figured
there may be some shifts in the
current before it reaches the
nominating conclave starting
here June 26.
Col. r. B. Creager, Of Texas,
reported he was confident Dew
ey and Warren would be chos-
en-, and that the New Yorker
would be selected on the first
ballot.
Robert p. Burroughs Of New
Hampshire, who suppo e d
Wendell Willkie before he
stepped out of the competition,

told newsmen the trend seemed
to be toward the Dewey nomi-
nation on the initial roll call.
j. Russell Sprague of New
York, a Dewey adherent, de-
clined comment for publication,
but left the impression Dewey
prophet would not be stranded
on a limb.
Currently Dewey and War
rem seem to be the popular
choice" stated William Reichel,
of California. "A ticket repre-
senting the East and West and
topped by men Of experience in
governmental affairs would be
popular"
Mrs. Paul Henry, Of Washing
ton State, agreed with him.
Ezra Whitla of Idaho said the
general feeling favored Dew
ey and Warren. John E. jack
son of Louisiana, and Mrs. E.
l.. Moulton of New Mexico
opined that present indicators
pointed to Dewey. Mrs. Clifford
w. Parsons of Arizona suggested
things seemed to be shaping up
the Dewey-Warren way, but
added that changes may &C.

D. {. Flyer Returning
with 5 Decorations,
But Minus Beard
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.

HEAVY BOMBER BASE IN ENG
LAND. - Tech. Sergt. Egbert R.
Rude, 3410 A street Sc, radio
operator and gunner on the Plea
dilly Queen, which was long one of
the best-known Flying Fortresses in
England, now Is on his way home
with five decorations-but minus his
famous brown beard.
It all started with modest goatee
which the former Federal Works
Agency accountant started when he
first came to England. In the face
of much Kidding" he came to re-
gard it as a good luck emblem and
swore that he would not shave it
until he had completed the tour of
missions required for heavy bomber
combat men in this theater.
It required a lot of fortitude to
keep this vow, for If there Is any
place where beard is inconvenient
and uncomfortable, it is five miles
high at so below zero, where the air
is so thin that 1t is necessary to
wear an oxygen mask all the time.
The mask fits tightly over the
face. The breath congeals against
the beard and forms icicles, and the
result is a rather painful ordeal
until the plane comes down into a
strata Of breathable air again.
Went on Tough" Missions"
On the Picadilly Queen, Sergt
Rude took part in some of the
toughest missions over Germany, in
cluding the bombing of the Focke-
Wulf factory at Mariensburg and
the ball-bearing works at Schwein-
furt. He also had part in raids
over Munster, Bremen and Ludwigs-
hafen and has been awarded the
Air Medal, Three Oak Clusters and
the Distinguished Flying Cross.
It was Just after Sergt. Rude had
completed his tour that the Picadilly
Queen, which had piled up the rare
record Of 81 missions without q
single turn-back, went down. An
other crew was flying it that day
and all were lost. A German fighter
had dived in to attack it. The ball
turret gunner hit the Nazi plane.
The pilot must also have been hit,
because the enemy plane went COM
pletely out of control. It zoomed
up madly and hit the right wing
of the Queen" shearing it oil.
Both planes went down In q spin
together. The Fortress had previ-
ously shot down eight enemy planes
and had more than IS tons Of
bombs.
Spaniel Constant Companion.
When Sergt. Rude first came to
England he was signed to another
plane with which he made his first
two missions. The crew had a mas
cot-a little black spaniel. One day
Sergt. Rude was left behind. The
ship went down and all the crew
were lost. He adopted the dog and
it has been his constant companion
in England.
Sergt. Rude is an amateur pho
tographer and painter. He wants to
take up one Of these hobbies as his
profession when he gets back to
Washington after the war. But for
the present, he says, his chief ambi-
ton Is ito take my 5-year-old son
fishing"
The 34-year-old gunner and radio
operator has been overseas since
June. His wife, Mrs. Eva Rude, said
yesterday she expects him home al
most any time now. Formerly a
commercial artist, Sergt Rude at
tended the National Art School and
Corcoran Art School in Washington.
He was employed by the Treasury
Department and the Federal Works
Administration before he entered
the air forces.

On The
Surface
By Ralph Thompson

The general idea floating
around the shop now is what
happens to those who don't be-
long to the Unit. Well brothers,
your guess is just as good as
anyone else's. That's up for you
to decide. Do they take a free
ride or what. The contract
doesn't say they 90 out but with
certain conditions, they may
wish they had. When the war
is no longer, these boys will be
no longer.
Please pardon the mistake in
the items of the last issue. Miss
Goodman says the company's s
blueprint office was too busy.
Well take your word for it this
time.
Perhaps it would be best
not to write this, out I'll take
my chances. What's happened
to two of our welders? Is it So
long boys or just one of those
fantastic rumors.
Gene Butts wonders what will
happen to him if he stays with
S. G. for another 40 years.

Sunday, Dec. 10 is the regular
Unit meeting. Let's all attend

This should be a hot meeting
with keg of cool and refreshing
'Suds" after.
Mildred Sypes hubby must
know by now that two can't live
as cheaply as one. SO far, love
hasn't effected Miles appetite
whatever.
THINK 1T OVER
Why not keep that extra half
dollar, the one you may be plan
ming on donating for a Christmas
present for the boss and toss il
in the soldiers fund? You know
it will be appreciated.
There are a few people who
might get the impression that the
writer of this column is preju-
diced against bosses. This isn't
true. 1t isn't that we dislike
bosses, but we do dislike to see
people contribute their hard
earned sheckels to buying gifts
for someone who later on refers
to them as suckers" This re-
calls to mind an old school
chum(p) who sobbed whenver
the teacher scolded him and who
even got flunked-and after al
the nice shiny apples he had
given her.

Seeing Eye-w,oUnit Unit

The many brothers and sisters
who have to work in there on
the End and 3rd shifts all have
our sympathy as we think that
the smoke in this Dept. should
have been eliminated by this
time for the amount of money
the company has spent.
We are beginning to wonder
if they are trying to rid the Dept.
of the smoke. We wonder what
the next alibi will be. We should
be able to accomplish great
deal as we now have new chief
engineer who is accomplishing
wonders by going through the
plant with a note book in his
hand noting down all the holes
in the floor and burned out cleo
trio lights.
Hot news right off the press!!!
Floyd Shaddy, steward of COL
Shell Forge, 3rd trick, has been
saving his money for the last
four years and is now going to
take rest. Floyd and the Mrs.
are leaving for Florida where
he expects to lay in the hot sand
and loosen up those joints of his.
Floyd had a little bad luck dur
ing the last strike that almost
tied up his Dept. His garage
burned down and he has never
found out what caused it. Well
Floyd we all hope you have a
good time and will look forty
years younger when you return
to work.
Doc. Daugherty, steward of
382, 3rd shift, looks like himself
again. Doc had a very serious
skin poisoning and was confined
to Robinwood Hospital for sew
eral weeks. We are glad that he
is o. K.
Your friend and mine, Brother
Andy Jones, is making rapid
strides to a complete recovery
and will probably pay us a visit
one of these days.
We think the canteen service
in Dept. COS could stand a 100
per cent improvement by the
Home Made Box Lunch hiring
more mattresses so the workers
would not have to stand in line
as long as they do. How about
it Mrs. st. Aubin?

REPORT

|. :3Fhe c. I. o. Convention was a
fine one, the largest we ever at
tended. It was held in the spa
cious Ball Room of the Stevens
Hotel in Chicago and it has the
largest chandeliers that we ever
saw outside of Radio City in
New York.
Philip Murray was tops in all
of his speeches which might ac-
count for all the harmony.
Chicago lives right up to the
name of "Windy City" and those
much vaunted stock yards con-
tanned a lot of smell and darn
few animals.
We think the opening speech
by Bishop Shells was outstand-
ing. He spoke on annual wage
and the cracking of the little
steel formula so the workers in
the lower brackets can have
enough money each week after
all expenses are paid to bank
for rainy day.
The first lady of the land,
Eleanor Roosevelt, spoke the
same day on raising the wages
of the underpaid school teachers,
especially the rural teachers.
On Tuesday the friend of the
common man, Henry Wallace,
spoke also on Chicago's Rabbis
and every one got a delegates
badge pinned on them. Mrs.
Roosevelt thanked the members
of the CIO or what the mem
bers did as citizens and Wallace
spoke a great deal on the SUBJ
ject of the p. A. c.
We understand that the pleas
ant tails will be high and the
cotton tails low now that hunt
ing season is over. Also we ex-
pect to see more of the two big
game hunters and bulls eye
shooters of Dept. 645, 1st shift
by the name of Claude Nadeau
and Hank NARROW.
1t seems the longer the COM
pany works on the ventilation
in Dept. sos the worse it gets.
