Gems In Verse
JUST FOR DARR

He's very kind and thoughtful,
And he does everything so well;
You wouldn't think so to look at him,
But no one can ever tell.
Whenever there's something to be done,
You can always call on Darr;
You can just look around for him,
IIe'e never very far.
He has the sweetest disposition,
OF anyone I've seen;
I've always seen him happy,
And he never does act mean,
r.sge-o
And personally like him,
But just don't let him know it;
For whenever I'm around him.
! try hard not to show it. H.
But now I'll have to close this poem,
Because words cannot express;
How he's always nice and kind,
And always at his best.

CHICAGO. June %. The
Maryland delegation led the
march to the bandwagon that
won the vice presidential nomi-
nation for Senator Truman of
Missouri. 1t was timed perfectly
and was the best job of that kind
done at any political convention
for many years.
Maryland had cast its Is votes for
Gov. Herbert r. O'Conor. On the
second ballot in the roll call Gov
O'Ccnor announced that Maryland
was switching to Senator Truman.
The strategy had been planned
long ahead, however, by q gentle

gates who were not bound by the
unit rule, they were waiting to throw
their strength where it would do
the most good.
Gov. O'Conor conferred with Ma

that Senator Truman was going to
pick up a few votes here and there,
but that the situation was pre-
carious. Gov. O'Conor offered to
switch his votes and Mr.. Hannegan
was grateful but left the timing to
the Maryland Governor.

Russian Sees Hitler Attack
As Link in Huge Plot
By the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, July 22.-Tass Com
mentator Nikolai Budrov declared In
Izvestia today that the attack on
Hitler did not represent an isolated
incident but was "one link in a
huge military plot by generals and
officers"
This explanation was accepted by
the Russians who for several weeks
have been hearing from captured
high German commanders of the
antagonism against Hitler.
1t. Gen. Edmund Hofmeister's
statement to the Red Army COM
mand on July 10 that the old Ger
man generals were dissatisfied with
Hitler's strategy in refusing to re-
treat may be the tipoff to the situ-
alton.
From Hitler's comments" said
the Tass writer. "the plot embar-
rassed considerably wider circles
than Hitler attempted to prove.
Reports prove that events in Ger
many have assumed a major crisis.
1t is obvious the Germany of today
