politics lie ahead Of the Repub-
licans this fall. The first is a
special election September 13 to
fill vacancy in the House in the
26th district of Pennsylvania. The
second is an election November 8
to fill a vacancy in the Senate
from New York.
Labor in Pennsylvania Campaign.
The Pennsylvania vacancy is
due to the death of Representative
Robert L. Coffey, jr., Democrat,
who was killed in an airplane &C
cident in Texas. Mr. Cofey, a
veteran of the World War II, had
won election in 1948 in a district
which had been Republican during
the last four or five Congresses.
His lead over his Republican op-
ponent in 1948 was about $4,000
whereas the district in 1916 went
Republican by more than 5000
votes. The Democrats have nomi-
mated his mother, Mrs. Margaret
Coffey, to succeed him and the
CIO and the AFL are campaigning
vigorously for her. John Saylor,
a Johnstown Pa) lawyer, is the
Republican nominee. He served
in the Navy during the last war.
The senatorial election in New
York will have great political sig
nificance.
President Truman won election
last November without the elec-
toral vote of the Empire State.
If the Democrats can now elect
their candidate for the Senate,
former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman,
their victory will be hailed as a
sure portent of success in the
congressional elections next year.

CLEVELAND. Sept. 3.-An ex-
hausted Bill Odom declared today
after his first try at closed course
racing:
"I'd rather fly around the world
twice than do one of those"
The fact is Bill did fly around
twice and set a record each time
Flushed and grinning. Odom
said his 388.3-mile-an-hour dash
in the 105-mile Sohio trophy race
was 'like cramming all the fur

THAT was a grind" he went
on. "You are making constant
turns, and it takes a great deal o1
physical force from the pilot-ol
maybe I'm just weak"
In setting a new record in the
Soho, Odom piloted a much modi'
fed North American F-51 Mus
tang owned by Jacqueline Coch-
ran.
Odom will fly the same plane
Monday in the Thompson Trophy
race.
Odom, the last pilot to enter
the air races, holds the round the
world and long distance solo flight
records. The plane he flew today
was bought last month by Miss
Cochran who intended to fly it in
the Bendix. When it was evident
fuel consumption was too much
for the transcontinental grind
Miss Cochran entered the plane
for the Thompson and picked
Odop for her pilot.
"ASot of people wonder why
chose Bill" Miss Cochran said.

because he was a good pilot. Sure

The appointment OF Sinclair
Weeks, former Senator from
Massachusetts,, to be chairman OF
the Republican National Finance
Committee was announced yes
terday by Guy Gabrielson, Ma
tionaI Committee chairman. Mr..
Weeks succeeds Harold E. Talbot,
who resigned a month ago.
His immediate task will be to
head the Republican fund raising
to pay for the important con-
gressional election campaigns next
year. Thus far this year, the party
has been running heavily into the
red. having spent $4,000 up to
month ago against collections
of only $71,000.
In announcing the appointment
of Mr.. Weeks, Mr.. Gabrielson
said:
1T is a job that is particularly
important at this time when we
are confronted with an opposition
party entrenched behind barri-
cade of public money, all too
readily available for misuse for
partisan purposes"
Are Not Dewey Men.
With the appointment of Mr..
Weeks, the revamping of the Re-
publican national organization is
u,e1l ,,p6eruav
Two other important changes so
far have been the recent election
Of Mr.. Gabrielson in place of for
mer National Chairman Hugh D.
Scott. jr, and the appointment OF
Albert B. Hermann of Midtown,
N. j., as executive director of the
national committee. Mr.. Scott
was the choice of Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey for national chairman. Mr..
Gabrielson and Mr.. Weeks never
were Dewey men. although they
both supported the New York Gov
ernor last year after he had been
nominated for President.
Mr.. Weeks, who is national
committeeman from his State, is
no novice in politics. He was
treasurer of the Republican Ma
tional Committee from 1941 to
1914 and was Senator from
Massachusetts, under appointment
by the then Gov. Saltonstall. to
fill vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge in February, 1914, when Mr..
Lodge went into the Army. Pre-
viously, Mr.. Weeks was Mayor of
Newton, Mass, for three terms.
He is a son of the late Senator
and Secretary of War John w.
Weeks. Before entering politics
he was a banker and manufac-
turer.
Gabrielson Expresses Pleasure.
Expressing his pleasure at the
acceptance by Mr.. Weeks, Mr.. Ga
brielson added:
THE chairman of the National
Finance Committee heads what
might be described as the service
of supply of political party. He.
together with other members Of
his committee. is responsible for
the raising of funds without which
efficient operation of party ma
chinery is impossible. 1t is diff
cult, sometimes thankless, but alb
So1,,telv essential ioh"
Mr.. Gabrielson said he was sure
MIR. Weeks would command the
loyal support of Republicans
everywhere. Saying he anticipates
no serious difficulty in financing
a hard-hitting campaign, Mr.. Ca
brielson expressed belief that Re-
publicans will be grateful for Mr..
Weeks willingness to accept the
heavy responsibilities"

The memorandum, alleging ir-

which now is in recess until Oc-

it, has agreed that no information

ment.
The naval court, headed by
Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, has
declared Mr.. Worth to be IAN in

Force officials.
He will present to the court,
probably Tuesday. a report as to
which of the data contained in the
memorandum was classifled-ma-
terial not to be made public.
Will Be Open to Public.
The court proceedings will be
open to the public. but space
limitations will permit attendance

concerned with the inquiry and
news reporters.
Navy airmen have been hoping
the House committee investiga-
ton would permit a presentation

fense plans. =
While holding no brief for cir
culation of the anonymous mem
orandum disparaging the integrity
of Air Force chiefs, they insist
the B-36 is being overemphasized.
Strategy matters of this sort
still are on the House committees
agenda and may be taken up
when the hearing resumes next
month. There also are indications
they may be touched on in testl-
nony before the naval court.

Lucas Warns Senators Gabrie|son Appoints

Tariff Fight Threatens ToG. Finance Job
BY the Associated Press

Heading into a fiery tariff row,
Senators drew a warning yester-
day from Majority Leader Lucas
that they may be working extra
hours when they return Wednes-
day from a brief vacation.
We've gotten quite lot done
here in the last week or 10 days" .
Senator Lucas said. But we've
got a lot more to do and I'll ask
night sessions and agreements to
limit debate and vote from now
on"
One of the most controversial
measures of the session-the trade
agreements program for cutting
tariffs-now is pending business.
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee. who is floor manager
for this pet administration bill,
fears it may take three weeks to
decide the issue. But Senator Lu-
cas- said:
II think we must complete ac-
ton within two weeks. We can
hold night sessions to speed votes
on amendments"
G. o. p. Promise Recalled.
The Democratic leader recalled
that key Republicans, anxious to
wind up lawmaking and adjourn,
had promised him full co-opera-
ton to cut down talk and speed
up action.
I'm willing to have a good test
Of that cooperation starting i'm
mediately," he said.
But some Republicans are GER
tain to balk on speedy votes on
the bill extending presidential au-
thority to reduce import duties of
this country in obtaining conces-
sions from other nations to accept
our exports.
Last year the Republican-con-
trolled Congress added a number
of restrictions to the tariff cutting
authority. The major change re-
quired President Truman to in
form Congress If he lowered tariffs
below peril points" fixed by the
Tariff Commission. These are the
points at which a tariff reduction
would be expected to injure do
mestic industries.
Senator Malone. Republican. Of
Nevada told the Senate that "re-
ciprocal trade"-often used to de-
scribe the administration program
lis a trick phrase invented in
1884 to sell free trade to the
American people"
Horse Trading. Methods"
'There Is nothing reciprocal in
such horse-trading methods" he
contended, adding that resulting
imports from foreign nations lower
American wages and vitally affect
employment.
The House already has passed
a three-year extension of the trade
agreements authority. dated back
to last year to remove the Re-
publican restrictions. That is the
bill sent on to the Senate.
AFTER the trade pact measure is

wants the Senate to pass the arms
