FOR 'CURE LUCE
Helen Gahagan Douglas and
Quentin Reynolds Hit G. I.
Joe Speech of Republican.
By Ernest Barcella
United Press Correspondent
Chicago Stadium, July 21.
(U.R) The Democrats had a
double-barreled answer for the
Republicans' Clare Boothe Luce
and her "G. I. Jim speech a
movie actress who matched her
glamor and a war correspondent
who said nobody could presume
to talk for G. I. Joe or G. I. Jim.
From the very rostrum where
Connecticut's Mrs. Luce turned
on the charm and oratory for
the GOP three weeks ago, Helen
Gahagan Douglas and Corre
spondent Quentin- Reynolds did
the same in that order for
the Democrats last night.
Glamor Too
Miss Gahagan, California na
tional committeewoman and
wife of Movie Star Melvin Doug
las, didn't give away anything
to Mrs. Luce in the glamor and
fashion departments. And she
got in a few good oratorical
licks, too.
The ample Mr. Reynolds won
speech-making honors. He took
Mrs. Luce across his knees
f 1 g u r a tively speaking and
spanked her for having brought
the spirit of a dead soldier ("G.
I. Jim") into this convention hall
last month.
, Leaning over the podium as
if he were chatting with a cou
ple of friends, instead of ad
dressing a jam-packed crowd of
30,000, Reynolds confided:
"Now I do not propose to
speak for your son abroad, and
I would never commit the un
holy sacrilege of speaking for
his dead brother who had been
killed In combat."
Then The Spanking
Then came the spanking for
Mrs. Luce:

speak for him. We can only ac
cept his sacrifice humbly and
not presume to speak for him
with our unworthy tongues. Nor
can any of us speak politically
for the G. I. who fights tonight."
That brought the house down.
With a note of reverence in
his voice, Reynolds spoke of the
G M I's with whom he has lived
in combat.
These men, he said, know
what they're fighting for. No
body has to tell them. They
have re-discovered America on
the fields of Normandy and on
the blood-stained sands of Sai
pan and they are, he said, fight
ing for this America "for the
right to bawl out the umpire."
And they want the forthcom
ing presidential campaign to be
fought cleanly, he continued,
because to them it is "an argu
ment strictly 'in the family,' and
if it is conducted in any other
manner there will be a sharp re
action from them." They want
no name-calling in the campaign
because "they have room in
their hearts for onlv one hatred
the enemy," he said.
