While the immediate prize is a candidate. for governor to fight it out in ‘November with the immaculate miniature, the racket-busting Tom Dewey, who seems’ assured of the Republican nomination, the real and ultimate steke is control of the sthte’s numerous ‘and powerful delegation to. the 1944 Democratic convention.” Mr. Roosevelt intends to run that show, if not for himself as a fourth=' term candidate, at least for a New Dealer of his own selection.

By ROBERT RUARK : : Times Special Writer WASHINGTON; Aug. 10—Jor a man: who has been an army offi-
| Gen. Dwight David Eisenhqwe: a long time to get into an actua - war. He missed the last ore by a hair; ‘he was ‘supposed to sail; for France on Nov. 12, 1918, and they crossed him up by signing the armistice on the 11th. But Gen. Ike—that's a _hangover from a kid nickname starting at the top in this one. ‘He's in charge of U. S. forces in .the European theater and is spec- | ulated on as possible ' supreme allied commander, which is pretty good going for a fellow who’ got in the army because the navy . wouldn't have: him. No spurred Ike Eisenhower into the ‘army. His father was a highly. religious Kansas farmer, engineer and ice-maker of quasi-Quaker faith. Father Eisenhower never spared the rod, and he didn’t spoil any children. Ike, No.3 in a bevy of six brothers, went to West Point because - a boyhood chum went to Annz:po- - lis. Ike was a few days too old for the naval academy, so he adopted the army as the next Jest. thing.. When he left home’ the family wept as if hed suddenly been ordered to Siberia.
‘Mother Still Living
MOTHER EISENHOWER, still alive in Abilene, Kas, at 81, is proud of all her kids. Arthur is a banker. Ed's a lawyer. Roy, until his death a short time ago, was a druggist. Earl's an engineer and Milton, the baby, is a _government career man who re- ' cently was named second in command to Elmer Davis at the war information board. ‘But you gather that Ike was the favorite with Ma Eisenhower. Maybe it was because he was such ‘a good cook, even though he was very sensitive -about his artistry. Ike Eisenhower was one of the few kids who would fight if anybody sneaked in to watch him whip up a souffle. The’ general’s mother still likes to teil a story about. Ike and a pie. Ike was stirring.up a chef d’oeuvre. one afternoon = when brother Ed slipped in and made a crack at the cook. Ike respond-

Urges New York Voters to Defeat Isolationist
Congressman.
NEWBURGH, N. Y., Aug. 10 (U. P.) —Wendell Willkie, 1940 Republican ‘presidential candidate, last night called for defeat of Rep. Hamilton Fish in G. O. P. primary tomorrow in order to prevent “grave damage to the party nationally.” In a telegram to August M.
Bennet, one of three candidates running against Fish for the nomi-
district, Willkie = accused. Pish ‘of “obvious sophistry” in explaining

to keep the country out of war, and said: “lf the Republicans of your district return Mr. Fish to office they will do grave damage to the party nationally for they will give the opposition party the right to use Mr. Fish’s record as a symbol, for Republican political philosophy, and na party can prevail in this country with such a symbol.”
“Obstructionism” Charged

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (U. P)— You'll have to be good to become an army hostess or librgrian. : Henceforth all ‘women accepted for such posts must be college graduates, have professional experience and meet age, moral and health requirements. Gone are the days, apparently, when mother, wife or sister of an old army man may become a camp hostess : merely because she is familiar with’ post life. The new regulations are strictly non-genti-mental. As ‘a matter of fact, a ‘hostess must be ‘bonded for at:least $1000 because she is responsible for the money and property of service clubs. Some service clubs serve as many as 5000 persons daily at soda fountains, snack counters and cafeterias. Hostesses also manage so-called “hostess. houses” - at | army posts where visiting relatives and friends
