 Denying what he said was Q Democratic charge that administra- tion critics have no policy or pro- gram, he said the Republican party is the ''bill-of-rights" party and does not believe that the constitu- ton was set aside by the advent of war.

 He said the Republicans would restore the responsibility in matters of local concern to the state and To- cal governmental subdivisions; that it would maintain genuine economy in government; that its taxing sys- tenn would be made simple and equitable.
 Labor would be permitted to re- tain "all the essential rights and just privileges 1t has gained" Mar tin said, while agriculture would be assured a commensurate return on investment and labor" and pri- vate capital would be encouraged to venture into expanded production.

DETAIL FOR TODAY
 Lsscky Bag

The LUCKY BAG Is the place where lost or misplaced articles are kept. It may include any, thing from a pair of socks to a mattress. Since mothers aren't on hand to pick up after the boys. the Navy and Coast Guard use the LUCKY BAG to encourage them to stow their gear where 1t belongs. When an article is found out of place, 1t goes into the LUCKY BAG, and is kept there until claimed. If you get 1t back without doing extra duty. you're lucky. For this reason. some ar- tIcles are just forgotten until there is a LUCKY BAG sale, when all unclaimed things are auctioned off to the highest bidder. Then the owner Is lucky if he gets his Delongings back without having to pay too bie>a price.

spies were inside the American
Army's front lines today.
A captain and three privates
wearing Uncle Sans uniforms drove
along a forest road in a jeep. They
halted near Capt. Fordyce Cor

ham, like all other soldiers, had
been warned to watch for enemy
troops or spies dressed in American
garb.
But Capt. Gorham was busy with
his own battlefield problems. He
noted only that the man in the front
seat wore a mackinaw and helmet
with captains bars, and that the
other three soldiers-apparently pri-
vates-wore sweaters and carried
rifles and carbines.

Boys Distrust Santa;
Take Dog They Liked

This is a story of two koys who
apparently have little faith in Santa
Claus.
For the past week or so, two boys,
about 8 and II years old, have come
into Schmid's Pet Shop, 712 Twelfth
street NV, and admired light buff
cocker spaniel.
Every day they would inquire the
price and would sigh and reluctantly
turn away when told they needed
$50 If the pet were to belong to
them.
They returned today. apparently
willing to settle for a couple Of
guinea pigs in the window. But they
said they wanted to go to a second-
floor room to say "good-by" to their
'favorite dog" When one of the
attendants left the room for few
moments the boys went into action.
On his return, the attendant found
the boys gone and so was the dog.
The window was open; it led directly
to an elevated alley.
