Aides Sweat
to Provide
Dewey Facts

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 25 -
(P)-- A crew of statistical ex-
perts worked diligently today to
compile for Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey the facts and figures he
will offer in series of major
campaign speeches on what is
shaping up as three week
swing TO the Pacific coast and
back.
The Republican presidential
nominee, who was expected to
go by automobile to his farm
near Pawling today, will begin
his speaking engagements at
Philadelphia Sept. 7. From there
he will go to Louisville for
speech the following night, with
indications he will then head
northward to Michigan and Min
nesota before travelling on to
the Pacific Northwest.
With the nominee working
over the rough drafts of these
addresses. the "facts and fig
ures" workers who have taken
over the top floor of a hotel
facing the State Capitol were
busy producing the necessary
background material.
The governors aides say he is
a "stickler" for facts. Because
Of this, the Republican National
Committee has furnished the
nominee with a substantial crew
of researchers whose job it is
to con government reports and
other sources Of information to
see that Dewey is supplied with
the data he needs.
Much like President Roose-
welt, Dewey receives suggestions
from many sources for his
speeches but usually casts them
in his own particular phrasing.
His aides say he is facile at ar
ranging the wording for radio
addresses, displaying what they
describe as unusual ability to
thine" his sentences for recep-
ton by radio audiences.
Dewey's last radio appearance
was his acceptance speech before
the Republican convention in
Chicago in June. At that time,
many Republicans acclaimed his
radio voice as equal. If not SUI
perior, to that possessed by Pres
ident Roosevelt.

AERIAL GUNNER"
 COMING TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

The dramatic and spectacular story of the aerial gunner's role in the war now is portrayed on the screen at long last in Paramount's thrilling picture, Aerial Gunner" [" coming to the goth Century tonight.

The gunner is the fel- low who swats Stukas and zeros that harass bombers. His part in aerial combat is to protect the planes fore and aft, and blast at tacking planes away from the tail, a very popular target of the en- emy's. In short his is no small task.
 In Aerial Gunner" Arlen and Morris are gunners with chips on their shoulders. To complicate mat ters they'de also pitted against each other in a contest for beautiful newcomer Lita Ward Much of the action in the picture takes place in gunnery school where Morris, as Arlen's instructor, makes things hot for him. Considerably adding to the pictures suspense is the air battle with five attacking zeros, with Arlen at the bomber's controls and Morris handling the rear guns.
