JOE MARTIN BUST
Republicans aren’t saying much
about it, but it is extremely notice
able that Joseph W. Martin, house
minority leader, is not playing a
prominent role in the national cam
paign. Inside fact is that he is too
busy trying to get reelected in his
own district, where he is opposed by
Edmund P. Talbot, former mayor
of Fall River and a former sheriff
of the county. Talbot is of French-
Canadian extraction, a Catholic and
a Spanish War veteran.
In the 1942 election, the largest
city in this congressional district.
Fall River, voted as follows: Joe
Martin received 11,765 votes, while
the Democratic nominee, Lomax, re
ceived 17,334 votes. Therefore, while
the whole district went Republican
by 17,000, Fall River went Demo
cratic by almost 6,000. Already there
is a 41,000 registration in a city
which cast only about 30,000 votes
in 1942.
.Outside of Fall River, if Martin
can be kept down to a 12,000 lead,
Democrats figure he can be licked.
Martin led outside Fall River in 1942
by 22,000. But in many of the small
towns there are powerful groups of
Yankee liberal intellectuals who are
close to the Willkie line. Talbot
has made contact with the United
Nations groups in this area and they
are working enthusiastically for
him.

BIGGER AND BETTER BOMB
Army ofifiicials haven’t revealed
whether they plan to use it yet, but
they’ve already perfected and tested
a new flying robomb, bigger and
faster than anything the Nazis have
ever seen.
Fact is, the new robomb was
tested in the Middlewest last month,
and whizzed through the air at more
than 100 miles an hour during per
formance checks. The bomb has
been developed with the aid of the
Ford Motor company. Whether it is
in production or not is a military
secret.
Actually, during the last war, Ford
produced a heavy robot bomb of his
own, but couldn’t find out how it
would perform under front line con
ditions. It has never been revealed,
but, in the American part of World
War I, one robomb was partially
inspired by Gen. “Hap” Arnold, now
commander of the U. S. army air
corps.
Arnold brought his idea to the
Ford company, asked Ford ^ to
work out a motor to go with it. Ford
rolled up his sleeves, soon produced
a two-cylinder engine that worked
well. Probably if World War I had
lasted another six months, the ro
bomb would have made its appear
ance 24 years earlier.
NOTE—The original American ro
bomb is still preserved in the Ford
laboratories in Michigan.

TEXAS THINKS TWICE
Before Roosevelt delivered his
campaign speech at the teamster’s
dinner, he had a private session
with Teamster Pres. Dan Tobin, in
which they discussed the political
situation, especially in Texas, the
state that had been trying to make
up its mind whether to have Roose
velt electors or non-Roosevelt elec
tors on the ballot.
“Did you hear Bob Hannegan’s
story about Texas, Mr. President?”
asked Tobin. “With those electors
coming and going he says it’s ’On
again, off again, gone again, Han-
negan.’ ”
Roosevelt observed that he had
done everything he could about
Texas, but didn't know what was
the matter with the folks down there.
"There’s a • fellow down there
named Garner who doesn’t love you
much,” replied Tobin, “but I don’t
think he’s going to vote against the
ticket. And if Texas does defeat you,
they’ll lose all the juiciest jobs in
congress, for the best committee
chairmanships from the speaker
down are chiefly held by Texans. I
don’t think they’ll cut off their noses
to spite their faces.”
Next day the Texas Supreme court
voted to put the pro-Roosevelt
electors on the ticket.

JAP WAR MAJOR JOB
Administration leaders aren’t talk
ing about it but they are privately
concerned about America’s reaction
to V-E day. They not only fear a
possible slowdown of production and
fighting spirit, but also an un
restrained celebration on Armistice
day.
Noisy street celebrations, wide
spread drinking and any feeling
that the war is over will be
most unpleasant for the millions of
families who have sons in the Pacific
still faced with the big job of de
feating stubborn Japs.
• • •
There was strong sentiment with
in OWI to suggest announcements
that unrestrained irresponsible
celebration would be out of place,
but Elmer Davis finally decided
against it. No agency has the right
to dictate to the people how they
should receive the news, Davis
feels. At the same time, OWI will
propose that radio and press carry
potent reminders that the war is not
over and that we are still faced with
a major conflict in the Pacific. OWI
will point out that war effort must

Where Allies Invaded Albania
Striking by air and sea, an Allied invasion of the Albanian and
Yugoslav coast is now well under way. First airborne landings were in
northern Albania and islands off Yugoslavia. Lines were formed in
short order and a new hole driven in the southern rim of Hitler’s fast
cracking fortress, as the Russians drive on.

Ill-Fated Chesapeake Has
No Namesake in Navy-
Owing to the misadventures of
the first American naval vessel to
be called the Chesapeake, the U. S.
navy has never given this name to
another combatant ship, says Col
lier’s. In 1807, the captain of this
frigate, unprepared to fight, struck
his flag and allowed his vessel to
be searched after being fired upon
by H.M.S. Leopard.
Again in 1813, the crew of the
Chesapeake, unwilling to continue
a battle, surrendered and the ship,
was captured by the H.M.S. Shan

Your kidneyr. are constantly filtering

kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re

poison the system and upset the whole

Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervoua
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis
