of State places him the next in line for succession
to the Presidency Oddly perhaps, that is the position

National Convention wanted him in
When the AriZonans left for Chicago, they had
in mind the statement of Harry S. Truman-made
here to the Phoenix Gazette-that he did not want
the Vice Presidential nomination. So they glanced
around, listened to few whispers from Washington
and planned to vote for Byrnes for the nomination.
In Chicago the Byrnes movement had progressed
to some extent and the Arizonans preparing to
board his bandwagon when reports of a different
nature came galloping out Of the White House. Mr..
Roosevelt had job for Byrnes and wanted Truman
as his running mate.
Byrnes slipped out of the picture and Truman
was catapulted in. But events have now placed the
former in the No. spot and it is possible if all goes

At any rate, Byrnes appointment is popular in

so scarce as lumber The lumber
shortage is the main obstacle, and
was not relieved any by the recent

Brass items, such as locks and
hinges, are far from plentiful. Other
materials are in fair supply.
Building costs are from half to
two-thirds above prewar. For in
stance the cost of 1000 bricks laid
in a straight wall, used to be $28;

bricklayers no longer work by the

being charged with aggravated as
sault and battery and a five-year

II didn't like Mr. Bender" he
said, 'but 1 didn't hate him."
Calixtro then went on to deny his

soldier had threatened to take his
life. CaliXtro said he didn't recall
Bender making such a statement.
He appeared uncertain about a
number of things he had previously
stated and denied ever having told
his wife, "You know I was at home.
If anybody asks if I murdered him
