And so “The Amazing Mr. Wil- liams” dodges marriage, even while' he tries to get married, and solves mysterious murdel’s, even while he takes a convicted murderer out on a ‘“double-date” and glumly watches the convict attempt to “steal” his own girl!

Walker is one of the most likeable men in affairs, but he dreads the lime- {light. He has told Roosevelt, to | whom he is devoted, that he will | help in the campaign in any eca- | pacity, but he does npt want the chairmanship. Sp the plan is to use Walker where he can serve best, such title as Executive Director. The other man is handsome Ed | Flynn, Bronx boss and former New York Secretary of State. Flynn will handle the big Eastern voting cen- | ters, which he knows intimately. Also in the cards is a house- cleaning of subordinate National Committee personnel. Although reelected for another term at Chicago, “Chip” Robert, Secretary of the Committee, is slated to be replaced by an of- ficial more acceptable to the new | leaders. “Chip,” popular and | charming, doesn’t stand very strong with the inner circle, In a similar category is Charley Michelson, veteran press chief. | However, Roosevelt likes him and ‘he won't be dropped entirely. He | will be supplemented by younger| and more aggressive hitters, such as Louis Ruppel, slam-bang former managing editor of The Chicago Times, and Victor Shelis, Ruppel's political writer, who will be his (‘ lieutenant. HITLER'S AIR STRENGTH | From the latest War Department figures on Nazi air strength, you | can get some idea of how tough a | proposition the British are up | against in warding off Hitler’s air | attacks. Not counting the Italian air force, the Germans have about 26,000 air- planes and are turning more out | at the rate of about 2,000 a month. | This is in contrast to the British | airplane strength of between 6,000 |and 8,000 planes. \ All reports indicate that the Brit- ish planes are of better material, and that British pilots are better | trained and willing to tackle over- whelming odds. In the long run, however, numbers count, and Hit- ler probably could afford to lose 'more than 10,000 planes attacking | England and still not feel the con- | sequences. | It isn't a very cheerful picture. FRENCH REPUBLIC?? When July 14, which is Bastille Day and the French Fourth of July, rolled around this year, the Protocol Division of the State De- | partment was in a quandary. For Bastille Day celebrates the establishment of the French Re- public, and the State Department is supposed to leave congratulatory public has fallen, the Protocol Di- ‘vision did not know whether to leave cards marked “P.F.” mean- ing “pour feliciter” (to congratu- late), or to leave cards marked “P.C.", meaning “pour condoler” (to condole). In the end, the State Depart- ment played safe. It left cards with no initials at all. SMOKERS NOTE How anxious the Justice Depart- ment is to crack down on the big tobacco companies for price-fixing is indicated by the fact that the| Department is not waiting for the regular October term of the Ken- tucky Grand Jury to convene.
