Secretary of State Hull today said
that the United States expects to

tunity to elect a permanent govern

He made the statement at his
press conference when asked II the
Allies control of Paris and most of
France would make any difference
In our political relations with that
country.
Mr.. Hull said that while he would
not presume to speak for the mill

French had held free elections.

Representative Bradley, Democrat,
of Pennsylvania lashed out at the
columns the Conhecticut Repub-

He said they were "fiippant and

would be more comfortable.

"She did not inform the country
that the President was accompanied
by flotilla of battleships, cruisers
and destroyers that should have
been out in the Far Pacific fighting
the Japs,' Mr.. Knutson said.
Neither did she comment upon
the rumor that Fala, the little
Scottie dog, had been inadvertently
left behind at the Aleutians on the
return trip and that they did not
discover its absence until the party
reached Seattle, and that it is
