A Washington era account explains Task Force 58 under Vice Admiral Mitscher as a vast mobile air and sea power capable of delivering over 1,000 aircraft against Japan.

Raymond Moley previews the Republican convention scene in Chicago noting Perry the ard as a symbol of old line Mississippi Republicans.

It notes House momentum behind a bill and warns of potential chaos in the insurance business if recent Supreme Court decisions are not considered.
