Just what is Mr, Willie's political value to the Republican party,

measured in influence and votes, is

ticket, than outside, either in a passive or an actively belligerent role. . Governor Dewey is trying to be-

don’t care much for each other, which is not unusual between politicians who are rivals for public favor. © The 1940 candidate got quite a shoving around at Chicago, or rather he was just locked out coldJy, but he did a little shoving around on his own when he issued his rather caustic statement about the foreign affairs plank in the platform. The party and Mr. Willkie are about even now. : But Governor Dewey, since his nomination, has made several gestures in Mr. Willkie's direction which are plain enough in their intent.

Conference Monday

At his first press conference in Chicago, he announced that he expected to consult Mr. Willkie along with other party leaders about his campaign. And now two of the Willkie satellites, National Committeeman Ralph H. Cake, Oregon, his pre-convention

Mr. Weeks, likewise, was among the first invited here to confer with the candidate, as a member of the Massachusetts congressional delegation which will see Governor Dewey here ‘Monday after his return from a week-end at his farm at Pawling. ‘Indirect overtures through go-be-tweens also are now going on.

he wants to continue in politics. This raises another question: What is Mr, Willkie's political future? Some count him out ‘as far as actual public office is concerned. Some think he may yet come into his own. Most agree that he is likely to keep his hand in, as Alf M. Landon "and ex-President Hoover have done. Certainly, however, he would seem to shut the door irrevocably if he refused to go along with his party this time, in view of all of his fulminations against the continuation in power of the Roosevelt regime.

But that plank, in the end, will mean what Governor Dewey says it means, and if he satisfies Mr. Willkie, this would clear the way for the latter's acceptance of the ticket and its program, foreign and domestic.

Marion County Goes Over Top of Quto by $3 Million.

Volunteer workers will attempt to widen the $3,000,000 margin over the Marion county quota of $79,000,000 by converting individual pledges into sales. Sales through Saturday had already reached $82,173931.65. William H. Trimble, county chair-

ship's sales of $116,000 were the best mark made by any township in any drive. Carl G. Winter, chairman of the farm and suburban division, praised W. T.

London Mothers Being Moved From Reach of Robot Bombs

LONDON, July 10 (U. P.).—British authorities began the evacuation -of mothers and . expectant mothers from robot-blasted Lon-

don today after removing nearly 55,000 school children to the safety of the provinces in the past week. The , German flying bombs, launched from the French coast, continued to fall in London and southern England in daylight today following a night of intermittent attacks. Authorities made their usual laconic announcement that damage and casualties had been reported. a Dr. Rudolf Semmler, radio Berlin commentator, asserted that Germany’s second “revenge weapon”— V-2—“will be far more terrible” than the robot bombs and the London Sunday Express speculated the new weapon may be a rocket bomb 36 feet long and carrying 10 tons of explosives. The present jetpropelled robot bombs are 25 feet long and carry a ton of explosives.

Only sour thing about the entire meeting as far as the Hoosiers were concerned was Governor Dewey's use of a fancy looking cigaret holder. After toying with a cigaret, the New York governor casually, and to the Hoosiers’ amazement, extracted a Roose-veltian-appearing cigaret holder and fixed his cigaret to it. One of the Hoosiers had to restrain himself from suggesting that the governor discard the cigaret holder as his first campaign move. n 0»
