In a speech prepared for a dinner celebrating the 55th birthday anniversary of the late Wendell L.

Willkie, the senator said Will-kie "recognized that it is the duty of a political party to stand first for sound principles and second for election."

The little girl repeated the testimony she gave Friday that she saw her father strike her mother "lots of times" when he was drinking.
