PACE SIX JUM .1 IS HANNEGAN Ml ARDUT FOURTH iTEHH QUERY , Bf The Associated Press Democratic Chairman Robert I E. Hannegan, fresh from a talk S with President Roosevelt, as- sembled a party committee in ' Chicago today to arrange for the July 18 Chicago convention at which the president can have J another nomination for the tak- ins. Whether Hannegan brought word as to how Mr. Roosevelt ! feels about it was not disclosed, i He left the White House yes ' terday with a "no comment" ', rejolner to a reporter who in i quired whether he still sticks by his recent New York speech in which he predicted, as a : matter of personal opinion, that ' the president will accept a ' fourth term nomination. i Hannegan and the arrange ' m e n t s committeemen busied 1 themselves with selection of a 1 keynote speaker and recommen dation of a convention chair man. Governor Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma, a fourth-term advo c a t e, was the apparent pre meeting favorite for keynoter, while Hannegan and others were talked of for the chair manship. A politician's nightmare con tinued in the counting of re turns in Idaho's close race for the democratic nomination for the senate with a 14-vote mar gin separating the leaders. When 713 of the state s 845 precincts had reported results of Tuesday's primary, an unof ficial count showed: Senator D. Worth Clark 10,004 and Glen Taylor, former cowboy from Pocatello, 10,018. .James H. Hawley, Boise attorney, was trailing. His latest count show ed 9046 votes with 70S precincts in. j Later returns put Clark back in the lead by . 10 votes with 715 precincts tabulated. The see-sawing race indicated that the official canvass June 24 will be necessary to determine the winner. . Gov. C. A- Bottolfsen easily won the republican nomination for the . senate post. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) are supposed to be using against '. our beach head in France.) . . YOU'VE noted in the dispatches the big ruckus over De Gaulle. You'll be wise if you believe little or nothing you read or hear about it, for De Gaulle is all snarled up in international politics. The British are sup posed to be backing him. FDR Is supposed to be AGAINST him. So the news about him is too much mucked up with propa ganda to be reliable. DE GAULLE'S story is that as head of. the French na tional liberation committee he is entitled to recognition as head of the PROVISIONAL govern ment ot (Tance. our story is that we want to back NO PRES ENT French government, leaving it instead to the French to pick their OWN government after the war. To this insignificant writer it appears that we might well deal with De Gaulle NOW and leave it to the French AFTERWARD to keep him or throw him out, as they choose. But that is onlv the opinion of one small Amer ican who would like to win the war first and deal with these otner problems later.

STREBIG Associated Press Aviation Editor WASHINGTON, June 15 UV The army, after tersely announc ing its mammoth B-29 Super Fortresses had bombed Japan, to day uncovered many details of the world's most talked about air plane. At the same time, the war de partment disclosed an equally spectacular military organization hitherto unmentioncd the 20th air force, a oving, earth circling command headed by Gen. H. H. Arnold. The Boeing B-29 and the 20th air force were made for each oth er, one a weapon designed to slug the enemy with unparalleled reach and power, the other a military authority to use such a weapon anywhere in the world independent of theater comman ders. Unlike cny other air force, the 20th is responsible only to the joint chiefs of staff. General Ar nold heads it as a separate as signment rather than as part of ms job as commanding general of the army air forces. He will use it as a strategic air force di rected from Washington. The chief-of-staff of the 20th air force is Brig. Gen. H. S. Hansell, dep uty chief-of-staff of the army air forces. Long familiar in only the most general terms, these details of the Super-Fortress may now be pub lished: Its wing span is 141.2 feet, its length 98 feet. Its height 27 feet. It has a cylindrical fuselage, a midwing, a highdorsal fin. tri cycle landing gear and is all metal. Armament includes .50 calibre machinepuns in power turrets and a 20 MM cannon. There is much protective armor. The power consists of four 18- cylinder, radial Wright cyclone engines rated a 2200 horseDOwer for takeoff. Each engine is served -by two turbo -super charges to provide the high alti tude ODeration desired. Each engine drives a 161-foot Death Sentences Given 14 Soldiers LONDON. June 15 OT Her bert Morrison, secretary of state for home affairs, told the house of commons today that 14 mem bers of the United btates armed forces in the United Kingdom had been sentenced to death by U. S. courts martial and that seven of the sentences had been carried out. In each case where the death sentence was followed the of fense charged was murder and one was a case of murder and rape, he said in reply to a question by Laborite Rhys Davis. Morrison said three sentences have been commuted and four are still subject to review. VITAL STATISTICS HORN Born at Hlllild hospital, Klam ath Talla, Or., on June 15. 1H4. to Mr. and Mrs. It. V.

Due to the foresight of your local fuel dealers, howtver, it was not necessary here, because we stored large quantities of. coal and wood, and you bought in the summer time and filled your own storage bins, too, ' In order io keep the mines producing 100 in Hie summer lime, when it's hot and even though you don't need fuel, we art aiking you to cooperate and buy your winter's coal right now.

The propellers are connected by reduction gears so that they turn slower (one third as fast as the engine) than any other aircraft propellers. Crew comforts surpass any thing in uny previous warplane. The cabin has been sound-proofed, seats arc of the latest design, four cots, and many minor con veniences are available. "The purpose is increased crew effici ency in combat despite the long time spent in the air. Except for a hydraulic booster on the brakes, the B-29 is en tirely electric. It has 150 electric motors of 49 types using power suppied by auxiliary engines. V So complex is the plane's oper ation that a flight engineer con trols most of the power plant, the pilot using only the throttle and his usual flight instruments. The rudder and ailerons are so balanced that despite their site they arc operated without the aid of boosters, thus Riving the pilot the "feel" experienced in smaller aircraft. u E Tomasso Amndeo Ambrogetti, 69, well-known long time resi dent of Klamath Falls, was found dead at his home Wednesday eve ning by city police.
