Washington's Fourth of July will | be marked by an independence from politics unusual in the Capital, as both Democratic and Republican Na- tional Committees complete establish- ment of their national headquarters in other cities. The Republicans withdrew the bulk of their forces on Tuesday, and from | now on will center their activities in’| Chicago. i Today the Democrats are moving | most of their strategical operations to | New York. | In each case, skeleton organizations | are remaining in Washington for re- search and contact work, but the campaigns of the two parties will be | actively directed from the new na- tional headquarters. The opposing chairmen. John D. M. Hamilton of | the Republicans and James A. Farley of the Democrats, will divide their ' time between traveling and supervis- ing headquarters activities. >~ EMPLOYE 44 YEARS HONORED ON RETIRING | Frank E.
