DETAIL FOR TODAY
Tobkick

TOPKICK means first sergeant,
or the highest ranking non-com
In the organization. His word Is
second only to that Of the COM
manding Officer, and usually he
Is the terror Of favor-reQuesting
privates. A private takes q deep
breath, assures himself he Is not
going to let the TOPKICK get the
best of him, and marches boldly
into the orderly room to ask re-
quest. The sight Of the massive
array Of stripes usually takes
the wind out of his sails and he
winds up an incoherent mass OF
terrified nerves. Hence, first ser.
geants are under the impression
that privates have an 10 Of about
13, and privates think first ser.
geants are first cousins to Toto.

Trumon's Promise
To Nominate Byrnes
Is Kept at Last
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
At long last, President Tru-
man managed to nominate
James F. Byrnes for public
office yesterday.
Mr.. Truman originally was
scheduled to perform that
function at the Democratic
National Convention in Chi
cago last summer. AS Senator
from Missouri, he had agreed
to place the name of Mr..
Byrnes in nomination for the
vice presidency.
When the boom developed
for Mr.. Truman himself, he
had to withdraw as sponsor
of Mr.. Byrnes, and before the
evening was over, Mr.. Truman
had won the vice presidential
nomination which was to carry
him into the White House some
nine months later.

the House, Senate, Supreme Court
Director of Economic Sterilization
and War Mobilization Director.
Mr.. Byrnes had been rumored as
Mr.. Stettinius' eventual successor
since the day of President Roose-
velt's death. Reports that he would
be named persisted even when the
White House cast doubt on stories
that change in the Office was i'm
rninent.
His nomination will go to the
Senate concurrently with the pres
entation there of the United Ma
tions Charter, which involves the
United States in foreign affairs to
the greatest degree in history
Prompt approval of the nomination
is to be expected and observers be-
lieve it will facilitate ratification of
the Charter.
In Contact With Truman.
While outside of Government
q MI. Byrnes has been in close con-
tact with the new administration
since its inception.
He was at his home in Spartan
burg when Mr.. Roosevelt died, but
Immediately came to Washington
to give President Truman a fill
in on matters of State with which
he had been concerned. He re-
turned home, but called at the
White House little later while en-
route to New York for a visit.
At mis- first press conference, Just
a few days after he took office
President Truman was asked where
Mr.. Byrnes fitted in the picture OF
the new administration, and he re-
piled that the former Roosevelt
aide had gone back home and that
he would send for him when he
was needed.
Climax of 34-Year Career.
The State Department portfolio
climaxes a governmental career for
Mr.. Byrnes that dates back to 1911
when he was elected to the House
q post he reached from humble
origin. He was reared under the
same roof with the late Frank j
Hogan, his cousin, who came into
national prominence as lawyer in
the District of Columbia. His mother
was widow, and he gained his
education while he was at work
He was a court reporter, edited the
Journal and Review in Aiken. S. c..
from 1908 to 1907, and from 1905
to 1910 was solicitor of the second
circuit in South Carolina.
Mr.. Byrnes came to the House
from Spartanburg in 1911, and
served there for IA years. Then he
made an unsuccessful race for the
Senate, and was out of public life
until 1881, when he won a Senate
seat.
