Macarthur Club Head
Cites Illinois Results

CHICAGO, April IA tR-Tne
people who put Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur in the Illinois presidential
preference primary didn't ask for
his permisSion-and they haven't
told him that he received a large
vote-according to Joseph p Saw
age, head of the MacArthur-for-
President Club.
He also disclosed that none of the
club members here knew the gen.
eral personally, although many OF
them had served under his COM
mand in the Army.
The vote in Illinois Mr.. Saw
age added, certainly justifies the
sponsors conception as to who is
the most popular candidate in the
eyes Of the American people, if
given an opportunity to vote for a
candidate of their choice. Gen
Macarthur is the gentleman in the
running who knows all about the
international situation. all about
the war and how best to protect
the interests of America.
We got $4,000 votes, without any
organization Republican, support
a tremendous spontaneous vote
That tribute demonstrates thor.
oughly who is the most popular can.
didate as far as the people are
concerned.
I'VE have only one interest ane
that is--MacArthur for President
We are not backing the general fol
any other Office other than Presi
dent of the United States"

Bong Promoted 10 Major,
Wins Rickenbacker Prize
By the Associated Press.

ALLIED H HEADQUAR ERS,
Southwest Pacific, April 14.-Rich-
ard I. Bong probably is the most
envied man in the United States
Army Air Forces today because:
1. On Wednesday he shot down
his 9th enemy plane to become the
top-ranking fighter pilot in number
of planes shot down in combat.
2. On the same day the 23-year-
old Poplar (Wis) pilot was pro-
noted from captain to major.
8. He qualified for case of Scotch
whisky offered by Capt Eddie
Rickenbacker, Americas World War
ace, to the first man to exceed his
26-aircraft record.
A special headquarters release to-
day announced Capt. Bong's promo
rtion and his qualification for the
whisky, but did not reveal how he
or Capt. Rickenbacker would be able
to obtain a case of Scotch.

candidate for Governor about whom
their party members could rally in
the election campaign, but they
were almost as far as ever from
achieving their goal of finding a
strong man willing to make the run.
No avowed candidate was in the
field.
The State Association Of County
Chairmen bluntly shelved sugges-
tions that they should support
Mayor George w. Welsh of Grand
Rapids, a former Republican, for
the nomination, and sent out word
they were willing to support Theo-
dore 7. (PhiD Fry, member Of the
State Liquor Control Commission;
Federal Judge Frank A. Picard of
Detroit, or some other veteran Dem
ocrat. No other leadership was in
sight.
Selection of keynote speaker
for the convention was left to the
last minute, in the hope the air
would clear SO that whoever is to be
the gubernatorial standardbearer
might sound this rallying call.
Robert E. Hannegan, Democratic
national chairman, was on hand
and was understood to be prepared
to make the speech If no other key
noter is available.
Mr.. Hannegan accused the Re-
publican party of having struck
of the last half-hearted pretense
of progressive principle from its
political future" in the Wisconsin
primary election, after which Wen
dell Willkie withdrew as con-
tender for the COP presidential
nomination.

Defended by BarkIey
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 14.-Senator
Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky
said last night the broad war powers
conferred on the President will be
retained no longer than absolutely
necessary"
Speaking at the Chicago Athletic
Association, Senator Barkley said
fighting totalitarian war required
great concentration of power, neces-
stating setting up of various agencies
which have brought out some irri-
tating regulations.
But when Americans know the
facts, they don't complain" Senator
Barkley explained I'VE still have
freedom of speech, press and wor-
ship, and sacrifices here at home
are meager compared to those made
by our fighting forces on the front"
He complimented OPA Admins
traitor Chester Bowles as the finest
administrator in Washington" and
predicted extension for another year
of both the OPA and Lease-Lend
Acts.
Speaking of postwar plans, Sem
ator Barkley declared: 1--WE must
strive within the framework of our
Constitution and within the pur-
poses of the American people to
shoulder our share of the RESPONSE
bility for future peace, for civiliza-
ton cannot survive a destructive
war every quarter of a century"

An extensive traveller, Mr. Miller
said he had been in all "but about
three countries" He took post
graduate medical work in Europe in
1927 and went back there in the
middle 30s. At that time he saw
Hitler marching down a Munich
street.
Mr.. Miller was born on Nebraska
homestead, taught in a rural school
for two years, worked his way
through medical college in Chicago
and began practicing in Kimball
County, Nebr., in 1919.
He is a farm and stock owner in
Western Nebraska, a former Mayor
OF Kimball, past president of the
Nebraska State Medical Association,
State Senator two sessions--1937 to
1941-and State director of health,
1941 and 1912.
He was an unsuccessful candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Governor in Nebraska in 1910, being
defeated by Gov. Dwight Griswold,
who later appointed him State
health director.

Complete Subjugation
OF Axis Powers
By the Associated Press,

PORTLAND, April 14.-Gov. John
W. Bricker of Ohio, Republican
presidential aspirant, called last
night for complete subjugation of
Japan and Germany, and in the
same talk criticized what he termed
the New Dears appropriation of con-
gressional powers.
Many of the defenders of Bataan
are still watching the sky from Jap
prison camps" he said, land the
day of their liberation and avenge
cannot come too soon"
He brought his one-day Oregon
campaign to a close with a promise
that If he is in the White House
when Germany is defeated the West
Coast will not be left out on geo.
graphic industrial limb in the fight
to beat the Japs.
ut is going to take the country's
entire resources to defeat Japan, and
there must be no let-down in East
ern industrial areas If Germany
succumbs FIRST" the Governor said.
Referring to what he said was
usurpation of powers by Mr.. Roose-
Welt and the Presidents numerous
directives, he said neither party has
anything to say about what goes on
down in Washington
In q similar vein he struck at what
he termed Mr.. Roosevelt's appoint
ment of judges for their political
loyalty rather than their ability,
with "a resulting decadence of the
Supreme Court"
He said he will fight to see that
the Republican presidential and
vice presidential candidates abide by
the platform adopted at the conven-
tion.

Bridges Comments.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, a member of the
Military Affairs Committee, said the
remark in one of Gen. MacArthur's
letters about facilities at his dis
posal raised the question whether
the Southwest Pacific area yet is
receiving adequate military supplies
and men,
Senator Bridges said many persons
thought that increased emphasis
should be placed on that theater of
war.
Criticism was voiced by Senator
Tunnel, Democrat, Of Delaware of
another passage 4 in which Gen.
Macarthur called ''sobering" Mr..
Miller's analysis OF domestic condi-
tions.
I'D like to know what either he
or Dewey is doing to bring before
the people the real facts" Senator
Tunnel said. "If the people have to
depend on the Republican candi-
dates to bring before them the real
facts, they will never know what
the facts are until they have made
another mistake such as that of
electing Harding in 1920"
Miller Criticizes Dewey.
In releasing the correspondence
which he initiated with Gen. Mac
Arthur, Mr.. Miller criticized Gov.
Deweys reticent attitude toward
the nomination movement in his
behalf. and said Gov. Dewey had a
"prima donna complex he had bet
ter shake off or he'll find himself
in trouble with Congress if elected
President"
Representative Miller said he felt
1t would be mistake for the Re-
publicans to nominate Gov. Dewey
for President with Gov. Earl War

Miller, "is Gen. Macarthur for

BY the Associated Press.
A first-term member of Congress
scared into the limelight today as
the man who could write two letters
to Gen. Macarthur and get two
replies.
1t was a case of Representative
Miller, Republican, of Nebraska,
wanting to pass on some of his ideas
about how things are going in this
country and to get the generals
reaction. And he succeeded.
"I met Macarthur at North
Platte. Nebr., when he was going
through on hunting trip" Mr.
Miller told reporter. He was
Chief of Staff in washington then.
/ also met him some place in Eu-
rope-I can't remember just where
but recall talking to him briefly.
