WILLKIE PLANS TO CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH NEW YORK, Aug. 23 (UP)-Re-publican presidential .nominee Wendell L. Willkie and his three key Democratic allies made plans today for a vigorous campaign in the Democratic "solid south’’ after receiving reports that Willkie has a good chance of carrying Texas, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. Willkie announced his readiness to travel extensively and campaign actively throughout the nation beginning Sept. 16 at Ooffeyvil.c, Kan. and outlined the itinerary >f a 17-day trip of more than 4,000 miles that will take him through IS states during the latter part of September. A sc lies of conferences between the Republican nominee and Republican and anti-third term Democratic leaders produced these developments: Plans for seven major speeches

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23—(UP) — The world's fastest pursuit plane and the largest bomber—both potentially terrible engines of destruction were nearing completion today. Both had been approved by Gei.. Henry H, Arnold, chief of the army air corps, and William S. Knudsen, chairman of the defense comni;»sion. The Lockheed Interceptor pur- ■ uit plane and the Douglas R-19 bomber were inspected yesterday by Arnol I and Knudsen and “unveiled’ to newspapermen. The Interceptor was rolled from Lockheed's Burbank plant ready to fly and will be tested "within a few lays,” a company official said. Officers expected that the giant bomb-->r would be flying by Autumn. Maj. K. B. Wolfe, chief production engineer for the air corps, said the fighter pursuit plane "is without a doubt the fastest military ship in the world. We know it will fly 460 miles an hour with two-thirds th ottle and hope it will do better than 500.’’ Only the highest air corps officials and the engineers who built it have an inkling of what to expect when it takes off. No other plane of its size—wing spread of 42 feet and overall length of 38 feet ever has harnessed such tremendous power, it was said. Its two Allison liq-uid-cooled motors develop an estimated 3,200 horsepower.

and 25 or more rear platform appearances in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Onego*, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The major speeches wall be at Coffeyville, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Seattle, somewhere in Iowa and at Detroit. FILLMORE TEACHERS

“I CAN HARDLY THANK RET0NGA ENOUGH”

“It Brought Me Relief After Everything Else I Tried Had Failed,” States Wm. St. Clair. In Grateful Public Endorsement.

The grateful appreciation of more men and women is expressed to Retonga every day In enthusistic public endorsements of this gastric tonic. For instance Mr. W. N. St. Clair, well known resident of 2322 North Illinois St., Apt, 6, Indianapolis, in a public statement praising Ketonga says; "Retonga brought me relief when everything else I tried seemed to fall. I had no appetite and such scanty meals as I did eat seemed not to digest and nourish me, and I became weakened and got Into a badly run down condition generally. Constipation was the bane of my life, and certain foods seemed to make that trouble worse. I felt tired out all the time and could hardly keep going at my work.

"Within a few days after I began taking Retonga I noticed a decided relief in my condition. Now my appetite is good, I eat almost anything I want and my bowels are functioning regularly. I am able to work every day without being tired out like I used to be. I can hardly thank Retonga enough for the wonderful relief It brought me.” Retonga is a purely herbal gastric tonic and may be obtained at R. P. Mullins Drug Store.—Adv.
