Joe Kennedy Reappears in Capital War Administration Scene
Washington May 6. Joseph P. Kennedy, former prewar ambassador to Great Britain, is again discussed as a potential war effort official. Once seen as bystanders in Roosevelt’s circle, Kennedy’s history includes leading the Securities Exchange Commission and the Maritime Commission. He clashed with Roosevelt over lend lease, then withdrew from White House access, now resurfacing as a possible Civilian Supply director under James Byrnes, a role seen as tough amid WPB and military opposition.

Now's Good Time To Swat Those Left-Over Flies
The House-fly multiplies rapidly, with a single female laying 120 eggs and a new generation every ten days in warm weather. Dr. I C Riggin urges early spring swatting to curb millions of potential flies and reduce disease risk from typhoid and intestinal disorders. He recommends screening, proper food protection, screened cribs for babies, and the use of fly paper and fly swats in heavily infested areas.
