Gentlemen:
After sleeping in my innerspring
mattress for 16 hours I got up.
showered and shaved with cash
mere warm water, ate hot biscuits
with butter, and ham and eggs.
Then went to the card room and
played a couple of games OF soil
tare, and went to my bed room.
After much struggling in bed-the
sergeant blew his whistle and I woke
up to find out it was only dream.
So then I got up from my canvas
cot, stumbled and fell once or twice
and finally reached and lit the
candle, ran to the creek with my
all-purpose steel helmet. which is
commonly used for washing, shaw
ing. hope chest and sometimes used
for the soldierly purpose of pro-
lection against bullets.
I washed and shaved with cold
water, got my mess-kit and walked
up the muddy chow line to eat some
undelicious powdered eggs and de-
hydrated food. After the Army's
so-called breakfast was over, came
back to my tent, policed the dirt
floor. and started the day right.
Boy, isn't Army life grand!
This place isn't too bad, but then
there isn't anything good about it.
Except that I will, say, we have the
best N.C.O.'s and officers have

Demos To Make Aggressive Attack

Gov Kerrs keynote at the Democratic National
Convention made it clear that for every rap the COP
takes at New Deal '|neffciency" bureaucracy and
spending" the Democrats will come back with hefty
reminders of the Hoover ''breadlines" Hoover bank
and business failures" and Hoover Confusion
In other words, the Democrats decline to be on
the defensive as might be expected of the party in
power but will put up an aggressive attack
The attack will be that Gov. Dewey wears the
mantle of Herbert Hoover and that the Old Guard is
again in the saddle in the COP hoping to run RAM
pant over liberalism in America in November.

Mr.. Craig Pottinger,
Dear Sir:
Today I received your July z issue
of The International. I guess your
paper is the only news from home
I get, other than what my mother
writes.
guess I'm the only Nogales boy
on this island. This place is so
small that started looking for any
body I might know, and ended up
with a fellow in our squad from
Tucson.
Will be four months on this rock
tomorrow. This island was prob
ably nick-named the rock long be-
fore we got here. That name never
went better with anything else, this
place being made up of coral rock,
sand and no vegetation. You can
lust imagine what this ungodly
place looks like
Sir, I'd like for you to do me a
favor in printing Benjamin Domin-
guez' address. He and joined the
Navy in AZ. I lost his address quite
some time ago. Now I'm trying to
set contact with him, and don't
know where to start.
If you don't know his address
would you mind printing mine?
Somehow he might be able to spot
it in the paper.
Well, sir, I guess I'd better start
closing now, because it's getting
close to working time.
Sincerely yours,
JOE D. AVILES

Dewey and Bricker
These Days ny S'e gz I8+I E. 1soR62sxr

There they stood on the rostrum
OF the Chicago Stadium, a contrast
in personalities: Tom Dewey ur-
ban, polished. medium in height,
black-haired. black, piercing eyes;
John BrickeT, small city, tall, white
haired. raw-boned, blue-grey eyes.
Both are, as things go these days,
young men: Dewey. AZ. Bricker, so.
Both are middle westerners, Dewey
from Michigan, Bricker from Ohio.
Both are lawyers and governors OF
a state. Both come from middle
class families. Both are married
to quiet, comely women who will
not disturb them by pursuit OF In
dividual adventures.
Tom Dewey and John Bricker are
very different human beings. Tom
Dewey is not ELUSIVE, but he pos
sesses a sharp, incisive intellect, a
capacity for organization, a willing
ness to delegate authority and re-
sponsibility, and a power to get
work done and done right. Tom
Dewey does not spare himself
and does not spare his assistants,
but he does achieve results. He
resents loose ends, and as the
Republicans in Chicago discovered,
there were nine in his organization.
He operates in politics with the
righteousness OF a well-managed,
large scale business organization.
He does not tolerate looseness in
government. In a word, Tom Dew
ey puts his accent on administra.
ton.
John Bricker is a gentler soul
and IL, as Is true, he came out Of
the convention the most beloved
figure in the Republican party, it
Is because his nature is to be
loved. Months ago | wrote that
John Bricker would gain the great
est popularity even II he did not
get the delegates and it has turned
out to be so.
John Bricker did not want the
vice presidency. Governor Warren
of California was forced TO refuse
it because, having a large family
and no personal wealth, he could
not afford the luxury OF being a
vice president OF the United States.
Neither can John Bricker. A pub
lie servant all OF his adult life. his
means are limited. The vice presi-
dent receives $4,000 a year and
has to pay income taxes the same
as the rest OF us. He receives no
allowances, yet must maintain a
position equal to his station in
Washington. Unless a man has
something OF private fortune, he
finds this very tough going. John
Bricker possesses no private FOR
