S. Cobb's home town expects to give
the noted humorist the kind of fu-

wrote last December but which was
not opened until after his death in
New York yesterday.
Definite plans, however, are being
held in allegiance until word is re-

and two of Mr. Cobb's other close
friends-Publisher Edwin j. Paxton.
ST, of the Paducah Sun-Democrat
and Druggist Will Gilbert-are to
make the arrangements.
But this much is certain-his ad-
miring fellow-townsmen will follow
his wishes as closely as they can.
There will be no elaborate funeral
rituals. The body of the noted
writer will be cremated in New
York and his ashes buried here. A
dogwood tree will be planted on the
spot. The one psalm Mr.. Cobb Sc
lected will be read.
Negro choirs from two churches

Copeland, who cooked for Mr.. Cobbs

The city which Irwin Cobb pub

Maybe, but don't believe it's prospect
the men in the service will welcome"
Mr.. Solomon led the move to organize
the opposition to the chosen instru-
ment" theory last summer. Sixteen do
mestic airlines formed a committee to
spread the gospel of regulated competi-
ton. The opposite view was expressed
by Pan American Always. which had
blazed 100000 miles of air trails beyond
the Nations borders, and by United Air
Lines, one Of the big four" at home.
Pan American has an obvious stake in
a single American flag line plan. United
adopted the idea largely on the ground
that America should concentrate it's
strength for the coming economic
struggle.
The committee never met as a full
group until last week. when it convened
to act on Solomon's resignation, effective
yesterday, but the chairman carried on
busy campaign. The major achieve
ment, in his view, was the decision Of
the Civil Aeronautics Board to hold pub
lie hearings on international air route
applications this fall. Only one COM
pany, Continental Air Lines, Inc, does
not have such an application.
Geographically, the United States do
not have much to bargain with when the
United Nations get together after the
war, Mr.. Solomon believes. However, he
holds 1t should be able to make substan-
tial demands on the basis that 1t origi-
mates IS per cent Of world air trafic and
is the leader in equipment and develop
ment.
He feels that international agreements
IN the past have been too restrictive to
be OF much value.
As an example, he pointed out that
under the agreements between this
country and Great Britain, service was
held up for years after Pan American
was prepared to fly because the British
were not ready. Furthermore, each
country was allowed to make but two
trips weekly, type Of limitation which
might b still moro restrictive II imposed
b small countries.

Winston Churchills re-

view of him from suspicious antagonism
to enthusiastic appreciation almost
overnight.
There has been some letdown, how
ever, among members Of the Franco
regime who thought such praise too
good to be true. One high government
ofncial told his friends Britain will
present the bill soon."

think it intelligent or clever to insult

Samuel ]. Solomon is stepping out of
the Craftsmanship of the Airlines Com
mittee for United States Air Policy, but
he wants it known he is not quitting the
fight for an open field in overseas air
transport.
THE world is too big" he says, ito
turn over all of the international avia-
ton of this country to one man or one
company or one management group"
Mr.. Solomon is holding out for regu-
lated competition in the international
air transport field, just as it exists at
home rather than the chosen instru-
ment" proposal under which one COM
pany would carry the flag to foreign
skies.
Mr.. Solomon knows better than most
persons what free American enterprise
means. With three friends, he started
Northeast Airlines on shoestring-to
be exact, on the profit from casual
investment in silver futures. Nine years
later he watched that company fly the
frst through cargo plane. loaded with
war goods, from America to the British
Isles.
Watched it? A little more than that.
Sam. excited, happy and freezing in
Palm Beach suit, went along. Then
president of Northeast and now chair
man of its board, he signed up as
steward because only crew members
could 60. The twin-engined Douglas
reached Scotland on July 4, 1912. and
started back three hours later. He was
home before his wife knew where he had
been.
In the postwar era he wants to see
airlines, large and small, have the right
to try for routes under Government
determined policies.
Three Glasses Of Routes.
He thinks routes snould fall into three
classes:

nent or in the foreseeable future.

The Democratic National Conyen-
ton, meeting in Chicago on Wednesday,
will ratify the nomination of Franklin
D. Roosevelt for a fourth term as Presi-
dent. The President himself has al
ready accepted, announcing in unequiv-
ocal terms that he will run If nomi-
mated and serve If elected.
The statement of the President, con-
tanned in letter to Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Robert E. Hannegan,
has removed all element of doubt that
may have existed In some minds--doubt
as to his acceptance OF another nomina-
ton. Since far more than enough dele
gates to, the convention have been
pledged or otherwise committed to his
denomination the selection of presi-
Dental nominee by the Democratic
convention is in effect finished business.
The delegates and the crowds will be
on hand, however, to put on a Roose-
welt demonstration. The only question
today is how much of a demonstration
the anti-fourth term democrats can
stage in an overwhelmingly Roosevelt
convention. The demand OF the Roose-
velt managers is q show of complete
harmony, to prove to the country, If
possible, that the Democrats are solidly
supporting the President.
Second Place in Doubt.
The presidential nomination has been
definitely settled. There remain only
the selection Of vice presidential nom
inee and the writing of 4 party plat
form.
Involved in these issues may be plenty
of trouble for the fourth-termers. If
the President insists upon having Vice
President wallace again as his running
mate, the fur is likely to fly. In 1896
and 1910 the Presidents word was law
in the selection Of vice. presidential
candidate. In 1882, the deal which gave
the President the necessary two-thirds
vote for his own nomination also as
sured the presidential nomination
to John N. Garner of Texas. Four
years ago there was incipent rebellion in
the national convention against the
Presidents determination to have Mr..
Wallace on the ticket with him. 1t was
quelled, however, by the Presidents own
strong right arm and, the use of the
telephone in the White House. The
President personally called OF Paul v.
McNutt OF Indiana, who might have
had q good chance for the nomination.
The convention will have 1,176 dele
gate votes. A majority, or $50 votes, are
requisite for nomination, both for
President and Vice President.
An Associated Press compilation shows
$50 delegates pledged to Roosevelt, and
408 claimed for him-a total of $50.

3. Operated in line with foreign policy
and for national prestige.
Competition among American airline
companies" Solomon said, will demon
strate effectively to other nations what
we mean by American freedom and
enterprise. 1t will assure better service
and more rapid advancement. In doing
that. it will add to national prestige,
contribute to American prosperity and
help assure future security against
attack"
He has another argument for diversi-
fed air transport operations. His own
company, he said. had sent more men
into the armed services than were re-
quired to operate the airline before the
war. In addition. like some other COM
panies, its military contract work ex-
ceeds the volume Of commercial flying.
What happens to those boys when
they come home again II all overseas air
transport Is in the hands Of one COM
pany?" he asked. rs that one company

part which did not concern Spain. But
before the morning papers went to
press oficials decided it was a windfall
and they carried three columns on their
front pages with almost all of Church,
Ills remarks on Spain in italics.
The Falange was jubilant. That eve
ming. the national radio newscaster, who
usually inserts quotations from Frances
speeches or similar quotations from
Falange Founder Jose Antonio Primo
de Rivera, began to insert Churchill
quotations the same way.
Enthusiasm Toned Down.
That same evening Falangists
swarmed the streets Of Madrid, whose
walls had for several months been
dlled with quotations from Franco and
Jose Antonio. and soon quotations from
Churchill shared the wall space.
1t did not require much memory for
most Spaniards to recall when the very
same spaces held posters like Spain
wants Gibraltar" and "Rio Tinto for
SPAIN" Rio Tinto is the British-owned
copper mining area Of Andalusia.
Later somebody decided the change
might be = bit too brusque for Spanish
senSbilities and within "A hours the
Churchill quotations were carefully
painted out.
Press and radio, however, continued
to use Churchill for editorials and COM
ment. The central thesis being that
Britain land eventually the United
states) must recognise Spain a. strong
anti-Bolshevik power 1t time when
the defeat Of Germany might let Russia
break into Western Europs-that the
Allies might eventually need spain.

be one Of the principal battles Of the
convention-although every effort Is
being made to compromise and smooth
out the Texas row.
The race issue is involved, however.
Nothing has so stirred the Democrats Of
the Southern States since the religious
issue which was thrown into the 1928
presidential campaign, after AL Smith OF
New York had been nominated for
President by the Democratic National
Convention of that year. -Four South
ern States voted in that election for
former President Hoover. They were
Texas, Florida, North Carolina and
Virginia.
The fight over the race issue in the
coming convention will be found also
in the construction of the Democratic
platform. The Roosevelt administration
has had to support the Negro voters in
very large proportions in Northern and
Western States. An attempt probably
will be made to duck the issue by in
serting in the platform a mere declar-
alton in favor Of fair and equal treat
ment of all minority groups. But it Is
extremely doubtful that the Democrats
can get away with it. Particularly in
view Of the Republican platforms
declaration for a constitutional amend
ment doing away with poll taxes as a
requisite for voting and another at
tacking lynchings.
The difficulty which the Roosevelt
Democrats face here Is to please the
Negroes Of the North-and Southland
at the same time not lose further around
with the white Southern Democrats.
The dilemma has Its unpleasant aspects.
There has been talk Of appeasing the
anti-fourth term and anti-Roosevelt
Democrats in the South by the nomina-
tion Of Southern man for Vice Presi-
dent. Speaker Rayburn Of Texas Gov.
Broughton of North Carolina and War
Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes
are among the Southerners who have
been mentioned for the place. While
such a nomination might sit well with
white Democrats of the South, it would
not please the Negroes of the North or
South. They would feel that South
erner might succeed to the presidency
If anything should happen to Mr.. Roose-
velt during the next four years.
Barkley L. Doomed.
Unless Mr.. Wallace is to be given the
White House backing for another nomi-
nation, the alternative would be the Sc
lection Of another vice presidential can
didate from the North or West. Senator
Barkley of Kentucky, 4 border State
man, might be a compromise. He has
been slated to make the speech placing
Mr.. Roosevelt in nomination for the
presidency. He is Democratic leader of
the Senate. He has been a White House
wheel horse for years-except for a few
brief hours when he attacked the Presi-
dents veto of the latest tax bill. He
was on the reservation within "a hours,
however.
Other possible nominees include SEN
