Meanwhile, the young pilots who flew the lone missions and, in many cases, went down, lived in comparative squalor and never got home to Spaatz and Eisenhower would have courted trouble had they refused to recommend the promotion. It will be observed that General Marshall did not persist in his belief that this promotion would embarrass the president but gracefully gave in. The menial officers who vindicated Roosevelt and Marshall and lynched Kimmel and Short in the inquiries after Pearl Harbor went up to dizzy heights notwithstanding the grievous guilt of some of them.

Almost immediately after the disclosure of the gyp of John Hartford, who was finally trimmed of $196,000 by Elliott and then bilked of his collateral by the old man on false representations that the stock was worthless, counsel turned out a press release which said that any statement that his father ever had or in any of his shady financial ealings was a deliberate, infamous His lawyer at that time was Randolph Paul, a New Dealer, who had general counsel of the U. S. treasury. Elliott had a new mouthpiece at the current senatorial inquiry into the cheesecake social life of the tarnished brass in Hollywood. Mr.

A few days later it was further shown that Elliott arranged a dinner party with his parents at the White House for Hill Blackett, a Chicago advertising man, whom Elliott was pestering for business for his rattletrap radio network. Blackett said, assume the reason I was invited was business. Like, you know what I mean. I have to spell it out for you.

I have been entertained by lots of people who wanted business." In still another job of White House racket ering, Elliott wrote Steve Early, the old man secretary, to defer decision on an important public utility case in Texas until he, Elliott, could come to Washington because he was and personally interested in this 'ibis is in the Senate record.

That is not even good green corn let alone heavy drammer. For money, he dirtied up his name and record irreparably long, long ago.

The Loyalists had sent most cf their forces to the front, keeping the remainder as a defense for Asuncion, thus leaving the intervening country is heavily wooded, mostly uninhabited and sliced up by numerous denuded of manpower.

The infiltrating Insurgents, therefore, were able to make their way way to the outskirts of Asuncion almost unnoticed.

Then as the forces coming by river joined up with the others who had filtered through earlier and were reinforced by guerrillas, they launched a push on Asuncion in a bold effoit to turn tLie tables.

The outcome of the Rebel in the light of conflicting reports front Asuncion, appears still to be in doubt. Reports from lefugees estimated the number of Rebels around Asuncion early this week at about 8,000 men, with the Loyal garrison numbering about 2.200, but Loyalist forces from the north, estimated to number about 6,000, now are pushing hard to get back.
