He merely has to wait for of- ficers ahead of him to die off. Tt is inconceivable that any business firm would promote its employees on the same system. Example of Army weakness NO. 5 is the starvation method of get- ting_recruits. The men who enlist in the Ariny do so largely because they can get no jobs anywhere else. Naturally this means that a large part of the men represent the low- est stratum of sociéty. Few men of the wealthy or middle classes now go into the Army unless they enter West Point. _ Real fact is, however, that the ROTC units fn various universities have beén turning out men su- perfor to West Point. The Iatter is largely a diséiplinary school, and since the tilition is free, it gets men from familles of Jower economic | level. Boys from the leading fami- 'lies all go to the large universi- tiés. Also, if they are members of the ROTC, they get 800 hours Of work in field artillery, wkile the West Point graduaté gets only 0.

SAM RAYBURN The unsung hero of the Chicago convention was Texas' quiet-spoken Representative Sam ‘Rayburn, the Democratic floor leader of the out keeping the army village neat.| House. Of all that throng of delegates and party chiefs, none was on as hot a spot as Rayburn and none emerged with more dignity and personal esteem. It was not with: out reason that early Friday morn- | be effective, must operate and man-|of civic improvement but to train‘mgl after the turbulent, brawling session of the night before, the President of tne United States telé- phoned Rayburm and personally thanked him for his invaluable help. The convention was an ordeal for Rayburn. An old personal friend of Garner’s and head of the Texas delegation pledged to the Vice- President, Rayburn was his official spokesman. At the same time he is a loyal friend and supporter of the President. Torn between thesé two loyalties, Rayburn met each test with un- flinching courage and honesty. He held the huge, seething Texas del- egation in line for Garner until every obligation to him had been met. Then, just as firmly, Rayburn took the delegation into the Roose- velt column, and in the fierce bat- tle over Henry Wallace, again lined up with his Chief the White House, This must have taken a secret wrench. For Rayburn knew that in the early hours of the previous morning the choice for Vice-Presi- dent had finally narrowed down to Wallace and himself. Also, that if Speaker Bankhead were nominated in it would have cléared the way for| Rayburn to achieve the great am- bition of his life, to become Speaker‘ of the House, It would have been an easy mat- ter for Rayburn, without showing his hand, to give the nod to op-| pose Wallace, Four large delega- tions had come to Rayburn in the afternoon and begged him to al- Mrs. Blackwell Is | Bridge Party Gues!
