1dCIleC IS III the AC11ly,
 Little Johnny, grandson of the President, Is the son of FDR's only daughter, Anna Boettiger.
 The other day, toward the end of family lunch at which poli- tics was being discussed, little Johnny perked up his ears, turned to his mother and asked:
 Ma, If Mir. Dewey is elect ed, will he be my grandaddy tO0?"
 TANGLED SENATOR
 Capitol reporters milled about outside the locked door of the Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee. Inside, the com mittee was trying to decide whether 1t should investigate the batle off the Statler, Fireworks were expected.
 Actually. however. the secret session was very quiet matter, Major part of the hour and Q half was taken up by Michigan Sen- ator Homer Ferguson's careful perusal of the large file of af- fidavits the committee had col- lected on the Stsl;ler battle. Whereas, other members merely glanced thorueh the affidaVitS hur- redly, Ferguson did not miss Q word.
 When he finished, the Michi- gan senator, 6 former Detroit cir- cult judge, demanded Q public hearing but was outvoted four to one, with his Republican col- league, Joe Ball of Minnesota, joining the majority. The four other members of the committee insisted that an open hearing on the matter be bad for Navy mor- ale and prestige.
 After the vote was taken, there was 0 brief discussion of the en- tire incident, with Senator Tom Stewart of Tennessee remarking that he hoped members of the committe wouldn't 90 out speak ing on the matter.
 "As I recall said Stewart,
 with . sly grin toward Ball, who has been worrying the Re. publlcans by his refuSad to sup- port Dewey, "JOe, here has 3 few speeches scheduled.
 "Yes, he has," Ferguson chimed
 "Yes, he has," Ferguson chimed In. "Only trouble with Joe is he doesn't know whom to
 make them for"
 LOCAL REPUBLICAN, REV0LTS
 Regardless of how they feel about Roosevelt and Dewey, Sev- eral state elections are attracting attention because local Repuhli- cans refused to vote for their own candidates. Here are some of the C. o. P. rebellions;

Lyons and have opening come out for Democratic Senator, Scott Lucas, who has had an outstand- ing record in Congress.

 There is another factor which the readers letter suggests = health ignorance.

 That's the good and sufficient reason why l urge everybody to call 1t cri (kree)-Comnnon Respira- tory Infection-until 0 specih diag- nosis can be made.

In the air, as on the surface, the
Navy has developed planes terrify-
ing in their assaults. Requests from
the battle areas for more speed and
devices to meet conditions as found
so far in contact with the enemy
are being met by the Navys aerial
proving ground and experimental
station at Patuxent.
Here captured planes OF the
Japanese and Germans are stuoleo
and flown by American aviators TO
discover their vulnerable points and
quickly the means are provided to
knock them out Of the air.
Jet Plane Shown.
The let plane was on the line for
examination and it was flown for
the correspondents. Lacking pro-
pellers, it is a trim little ship. and
as it glides past you, low in the air,
the only sound is like that OF q
vacuum cleaner. 1t is marvellous to
see its brief take-off length and It's
great maneuverability
On display also was a new twin
engine fighter, which the Navy be-
lieves to be superior to its present
fighters. Even the latter are be-
lieved to be the best Of their type.
A new scout plane to be employed
aboard battleships, cruisers and at
land bases, it is believed, viii revo-
lutionize scouting from ships,
through its speed. maneuverability
and armament, which 1t is said Is
unprecedented in planes OF this type.
While the Japanese are said to have
an excellent small scouting plane,
it is believed that this new one OF
the United States Navy will outstrip
anything the Japanese possess at
this time.
There is ready a new Douglas
dive bomber, with increased horse
power, providing greater speed and
bomb carrying ability over its pred
ecessor. 1t has speed OF $50 miles
an hour and normally carries q
1000 pound bomb load.
