Roosevelt For President, Della

Lead In Maricopa County Poll

PHOENIX, March 16-President
Roosevelt is the overwhelming
choice of MaricOpa County Demo-
cratic Central Committee MEM
bers for a fourth term nornina-
ton, final returns in a recent
postal card poll disclosed Friday.
r. G. Langmade of Phoenix chair
man of the committee, said approx
mately SO per cent of the committee
men participated in the poll, giving
Mr.. Roosevelt a 21a to lead over
Senate Majority Leader Alben Bark
ley.
The cards were issued shortly
after Senator Barkley broke with
the President over veto of the tax
bill.
On the vice presidency, the COM
mitteemen gave Slight edge to
House Speaker Sam Rayburn over
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
However, Langmade said, number
balloting for Mr.. Roosevelt express
ed preference for Barkley as the
vice presidential nominee.
He also said the returns on the
vice presidency revealed an inter-
esting sidelight. In the metropoli-
tan area of the county, Rayburn was
an almost exclusive choice of COM
mitteemen, but in the rural areas of
Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Peoria
Wallace was the choice.
Maricopa County will have seven
members of the states 20-member

Mr.. Eamon de Valera,
Premier, Irish Free State

Mr.. Eamon de Valera,
Premier, Irish Free State
Dear Shamus:
"Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day" Yes
sir, It's a beautiful day because it's
Saint Patricks S Day, or haven't you
heard? You're not going to spoil
this day ny being stubborn, are you?
Listen, you were born in New
York, Eamon. was born in Chi
cago. Your mother was born in
Ireland. Your dad was born in
Spain. My mother and dad were
BOTH born in Ireland. What does
that make me? I'm more of an
Irishman than you, by ancestry /.
and weight.
Sure you love Ireland. So did my
old man. You know, once before
he left Ireland, my dad and a
Scotch pal of his, Angus Macgregor,
sWCIC III oil II ASA4 kA0 0AAA .OA1CAA
English landlord was there.
The Englishman asked Macgregor,
angus, what would you be if you
were not a Scotchman?"
why an Englishman, of course, -
said Angus.
Fine said the Englishman.
"Now, Loughman, what would you
be if you were not an Irishman?'
"Td be ashamed of myself" said
my dad. So, you see, he was proud
of being an Irishman.
ALI Uncle Sam wants you to do is
to chase those Jap and Nazi snakes
out of Ireland, the same as Saint
Patrick chased out those other
snakes. You know those buns are
the kind of louses that will pat you
on your back in front of your face
and punch you in the eye behind
your back.
All my Uncle Sam wants to do is
help you, and save plenty of Ameri-
can kids lives-but he can't help
you if you're stubborn. Don't be
stubborn like Sweeney and Finne-
gan when they got in an argument.
Sweeney sez, IT wouldn't throw you
rope if you wuz drownin'." AN
I wouldn't touch it if you did" sez
Finnegan.
That's about all, Eamon, except
that if you don't help us now, maybe
when it comes time to make the
peace, and you want to sit in at the
peace-table, which you should, they
might say to you: WED like to give
you a seat, but all the empty ones
are full"
That sounds like Andy Bookas'
grammar-when he said, IAN empty
taxi drove up to the Montezuma and
out stepped George Chaprales. !"
But it's right.
Best regards and Erin Go Bragh-
MARTY.
P.S. I'd like to have you send
me a couple of cases of Guinness
Stout, but how are you going to send
them to me if the Allies cut off
your shipping?

result of the service carrying out
Mr. Bowman's policies, and that
Bowman is rendering excellent SER

Shock troops in every sense OF the
word glider men have the same rou-
tine as parachute infantrymen. They
do everything on the double. There
are no lazybones in either outfit. Their
pilots are trained men. Once a glider
is landed there's no way to get her out.
The pilot must fight with the troops.
SO the pilots, usually flight officers, are
trained in glider infantry tactics.
Spirals Down Fast.
Their mode of transport simply hap

has two-way radio communication with
the towplane or with the ground, but
it isn't in the air long. 1t has one eleA

The glider can go into tight spin,
spiraling down very fast. An enenny

referring to them as "towed targets"
or as clay pigeons" In sense they
are. Sure, they carry machine guns
with them. but they are weapons of
short range and not effective against
the concentrated fire of the mounted
guns in an enemy plane or the cannon
in the nose of a Messerschmitt.
But the glider boys want no sympathy.
They figure they get along all right
in their flying cracker boxes. All they
want is wallop at Jerry, and the
sooner the better. AS for danger, isn't
all battle dangerous? And once on
the ground. they figure they can take

Just happen on lucky day when poor
visibility hampered British planes and
British coastal guns. Nor did the Jap
anese arbitrarily choose a day of storm
to start their warships and conveys into
Bismark Bay. These days were chosen
by weather experts, and the fact that
the storm cleared in time for American
Air Forces to destroy % Japanese ships
Is attributed more to the capricious
vagaries of tropical conditions than to
a serious error of the forecasters.
1t was impenetrable fog that enabled
the japanese to evacuate Kiska before
arrival of American invasion forces.
Again in the Italian campaign, the
weather that favored the initial land
lngs on the Anzio beachhead later
played into the hands of the German
Army grounding our own air forces for
DAYS at time.
Bearing in mind these incidents sin
which weather tipped the carefully bal
anced scales of operations, it goes with
out need of further emphasis that
weather conditions, more than any sin
gle factor, perhaps, will set the date
for the long-awaited invasion of the
continent across the English Channel.

a worldwide network of weather sta

of securing forecasters and weather OBJ

flight operations over the North Allan
