WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. — Everything—including the “kitchen sink,” if you will—now is being flown into allied front lines over the heads of the enemy, “by the army air force troop carrier command. Vertical envelopment technique ~~ leapfrogging enemy barriers and delivering and completely supplying airborne troops—has been developed to an astonishing degree. And army air forces, ground and service forces - here today told the complete story in an extensive exhibit at National airport. Brig. Gen. Mervin Gross, assistant chief of staff, operations, commitments and requirements, told newspapermen that “the exhibits which you have been invited to examine are the material exampies of a major revolution in the theory of warfare.” The exhibits spoke for themselves. Lined up on the field were heavy gliders of all types, some capable of carrying up to 30 men, or huge trucks, tanks, howitzers, scrapers, rollers and all sorts of heavy equipment. And there were specially modified transports, from two to four engined, also

We hear he’s doing fine. . . . Dr. E. M. Shanklin, Hammond, editor of thé Journal of the Indiana State Medical Association, caught our Sherley Uhl-in a technical error and writes to chide us about it. “When,” asks Doc, 4did Indiana acquire 96- counties? Back in 1916 when she was admitted to statehood, ¢hey, Doc; don’t you mean 1816?) she had_ 92 ‘counties, and the last time I enumerated them, it amounted. to exaetly that figure. But in ‘the Sherley Uhl story Nov.. 2, it definitely says: ‘ . . . covering each of the state's 96 counties.’ You Indianapolis fellers get to monkeying with such matters as trying to change the geography of the Hoosier State and we chaps from the State of Lake will come down there and do something about it.” It's all right now, Doc; we've got Sherley to agree there are only 92 counties.

AS GOP LEADER

Republican Victory Would Offer “Majority Leader Job.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (U. P.) ~The possible Republican control of the house as a result of today’s election

probably would shift the job of majority leader—second only in ime

the East to the Middle West. It is generally assumed that the number one job as successor to

House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr., Mass., and current speeulation would put the majority leadership in the ‘hands of either of Republicans Earl C. Michener (R. Mich.), Everett M. Dirksen (R. IIL) or CHarles A. Halleck (R. Ind). While there are other Republican house members with more seniority than these three, they have been more active as Martin's aids, and all have the respect of their colleagues as well as the very necessary ability to handle themselves with distinction in floor debate,

Michener a Veteran

been acting minority leader most of the time during the present session when Martin was not in the Capital. Michener, however, is 67 years old, and possibly would not want to undergo to strain of full time leadership. One of the next in line would be Dirksen, 48-year-old six termer, regarded’ by many as the greatest debater in the house.
