Blown Window Panes

Before the process for flat-draw-
ing glass was developed, window
panes were made by blowing glass
spherical shapes, relocating the
spheres and rotating them until they
became disks marred by a bulls
eye in the center, a historical study
by Libbey points out. The disks
were cut into panes and those with
the bulls eye were used in Colonial
America for transoms and door

Advances in American naval ships and equipment have been marked
throughout the century and a half of the Navy Departments history by
important miestones of progress. One of these was the first fight from
the deck of a ship, made in 1910 by 1t. Eugene Ely, when he took off
from a miniature flight deck o n the foredeck of the USS Birmingham
upper. Three years later naval aviation had its actual start when
Admiral George Dewey signed the report of the General Board, which
recommended the establishment of a Naval air arm. Today aviation is
one of the elements in the threepronged American Navy. Towering

by Sf0ff correspondent OF iHe o'uf
PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-The
Districts three votes all would have
gone to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey on
the first ballot but fof the fact that
Gov. Dewey himself asked the Dis
trict delegation to withhold one
vote, it was revealed today.
James C. Wilkes, chairman OF the
Republican Party in the District,
said the delegation had caucGsed
Tuesday and decided that the Dis
trict vote would 60 100 per cent for
Gov. Dewey. Later that day they
were received by the Governor in
his headquarters in the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel and informed him
of their decision.
Mr.. Wilkes said Gov. Dewey sug-
gested they withhold vote for the
second ballot. The delegation then
suggested they give complimentary
vote on the first ballot to Repre-
sentative Dirksen, Republican, of
Illinois, tor his service to Washing
ton as chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee. They reminded
the Governor, Mr.. Dirksen was one
of the Illinois delegates who IA
vored the Dewey candidacy. Gov.
Dewey. according to-. Mr.. Wilkes,
gave this his hearty approval.
The Governor apparently was
mindful of 1910 when his managers
used their full strength on the
first ballot to lead with 800 votes,
lead which began to slip to
Wendell Willkie in subsequent poll
ing
This was the reason that when the
District of Columbia was called near
the end of the initial balloting, the
response from Edward F. Colladay,
chairman of the delegation. was
1.-TWO votes for Gov Dewey and one
vote for Everett M. Dirksen of Il
linois."

cast for Gov. Dewey on the second
and on the decisive third ballot.
