LONDON, Aug. 6.-(R- Major
George E. Freddy. Greensboro, N.
c., reported today he shot down
six enemy fighter planes IN a few
minutes of fast action near Ham,
burg, a feat seldom equalled in
this war.
The Eighth Air Force Mustang

the air and six on the ground,
sending him close to the top of Al
lied list of aces in the European
theater.
Flying as a group commander,
Freddy sawsS0 ME-109's heading for
the heavy bombers his group was
escorting. He became separated
from his wing man in his haste
to get at the enemy.
1.-The 1895 were flying a tight
formation at $4,000 feet" he said
Il guess they figured their pro-
tective top cover would take care
Of me, for they didn't waver from
their course. I closed right into
the pack and shot down five in
less than five minutes
Preddy's six-on-one-flight record
equals that of the missing Col. Neal
E. Kearby, San Antonio, Tex, who
won the congressional medal of
honor for downing six japanese

Dewey Thinks Like Hoover

Gov. Dewey in his swing around the circle has
made number Of speeches, but where he stands on
the issues of the campaign is much of riddle as
it was when he seeking nomination and persisted
in saying nothing that might annoy any of the dis
cordant elements of his party.
In his latest utterances he appears to be swinging
to the policy of strong association of the big Allied
nations to get things started with the smaller coun
tries getting voice later-when the time comes for
solving the peace problems.
In fact, he appears to have reached the position
taken by Warren G. Harding in regard to the League
Of Nations during the campaign of 1920 It was then
that Harding connived in, and profited BY the cele-
brated round-robin in which Ex-Presdent Herbert
Hoover and Charles Evans Hughes were prominent,
which gravely informed the country that the practical
way to bring about the participation Of the United
States in the League was to elect the Republican
candidate
Harding, like Dewey was originally an Isolation
ist and had the support of the big newspapers that
fought against entrance to the League
In short, the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency follows the pattern of other COP statesmen,
for he thinks like Herbert Hoover, talks like Alf
Landon and promises like Warren G. Harding.

Writ G. Bowman

Continued from Page One)
Democratic national conventions at
Chicago and Philadelphia In 1943
President Roosevelt appointed him
Collector of Customs for the Dis
trict of Arizona, which post he now
holds
Unlike lot of persons who have
made their fortunes here and re-
tired to other communities, Mr.
Bowman has remained in Nogales
and contributed much to the up
building of this city. He has erected
more business structures and homes
than any person who has ever lived
here. His first venture along those
lines was when he built the Bulge
Apartments on Elm street, now
known as the Phillips Apartments.
Later he constructed the Bowman
Hotel on Grand avenue, the Nogales
Theater, the place where j. F.
Johnson has his garage on Morley
avenue, the elaborate Harry Brann
home on Sierra street, the Simmons
ranch home, and this year gave the
city a greatly needed laundry. In
addition to his new construction he
has rebuilt several places.
In 1929 he bought the First Ma
tional Bank shortly after the death
of Bracey Curtis
In 1887 he acquired the Monte
yuma Hotel and later the Brickwood
Hotel. Today. those two hotels are
joined together as one big hostelry
in the heart. of the business district.
Originated Aqua Caliente
San Diego, that big city in south
ern California, can thank Writ
Bowman for the beautiful Aqua
Caliente resort a few miles away
in Lower California, Mexico, for the
man originated that resort
and before he left there in 1884, be-
tween nine and ten million dollars
had been spent for improvements.
Mr. Bowman's great success in
life has been due entirely to his own
efforts. He Was left no inheritance
by the death of a well Uo-do parent
to give him a start in life No car
peted path was laid before him.
What he is today he made himself.
Son OF Confederate
sSoutherner by birth. Mr. Bow

til he finished learning telegraphy
which his father had begun teach
ing him back in Texas while he was
small boy.
He got his first job as telegraph
er at Temecula, Calf, in June 1894
and worked at various places around
there as relief operator and station
agent. He started up to open the
Hemet, Calf, station on the first
day of July 1894 when he got caught
in San Bernardino by the famous
Eugene v. Debs strike.
Loses Railroad Job
After the strike ended he went to
Hemet and opened the station and
at the end of the month turned it
over to the regular agent who had
been appointed for that place. Then
the railroad refused to put him to
work again because he had refused
to report for work during the strike,
so he got a job in a hardware store
at SIS a month and board.
That job led to an offer bringing
him to Nogales for the first time
a half century ago yesterday.

Who Would Have Been President?

We wonder who would be president today if
Wendell Wlkie had been elected president four
years ago.
Willkie died Sunday and on Feb. 25th Of this
year his running mate, Sen. Charles L. McNary of
Oregon, passed away.
Had those two men been elected the appoint
ed in January 1911 as secretary of state would have
succeeded to the presidency following Mr.. Wilkes
death and would have served until the Inauguration
of the next president three months from now.

Things you may not know
about q busy western neighbor

Southern Pacific has been part of western life for
three quarters of century. We've had share of
brickbats and we've had share of praise. Mostly
we've been taken pretty much for granted, like the
paper boy or the milkman.
Since Pearl Harbor, though, people generally have
regarded Southern Pacific and the other railroads
with new understanding and appreciation Now when
the chips down, they seem to realize how ndis-
pensable the railroads really are.

Unions Unite In Hollywood To Produce A Film
''Hell Bent For Election" Called Super-Colossal
 And Good

You're going to hear lot about Hell Bent for Election, the fast moving animated cartoon in full color made. by members of an AFL union, the Screen CartOOnists Guild, and produced by a CIO un- ion, the United Auto Workers.
 Even before its official world pre- miere at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Hell Bent had preview, like any other good Hol- lywood product And it vowed its audience, members of the Beverly Westwood Democratic Club, as few super-colossals from the film capital have done.
 Screen CartOOnist Zack Schwartz headed the working group, conn posed of number of HOllywood's s top animators and idea men. Ly- rics were supplied by ''Yip" Har- burg, member of the independent Screen Writers Guild. Assistant in production was goOd-IOOking Karen Morley, member of Screen Actors Guild (AFL).
 Hell Bent does with broad humor, dynamic caricature and inspired sym bolism more than a thousand static cartoons could do, each of them worth 10000 words of cold prose print.
 The plot is simple: two person. alized trains are racing to see which gets onto Track A and so through to the end of the line. One is the outmOded old 1929 limited, pulling Jimcrow car and an apple stand, among other junk. The other is the smooth-running Win-the-War ex- press, bearing arms for the battle fronts.
 Joe Worker is at the switch-a hand switch bearing a round disk with a cross in the middle (like ballot). A congressman lures him aside, tries to befuddle him with drink, cigar smoke and double talk.
 Looks bad for the express and the future, but Joe recovers his wits just in time, yanks the switch and Win the-War speeds past, while 1929 goes on a sidetrack of history and disinte- grates, to nobody's regret.
