WAR FLYER TO GET
HERO’S FUNERAL
Tentative Plans Made for Burial
of Thomas Hewitt in Arling
!, ton Cemetery.
Tentative arrangements have been
©ompleted for a hero’s burial in
Arlington National Cemetery tomor
row afternoon for Thomas Hewitt,
42, who flew to war-time fame with
the Lafayette Escadrille.
Hewitt died in poverty here Sunday
©f a heart attack, and his body lay
Unclaimed at the District Morgue
while police sought to get in touch
With his relatives.
, Last night a brother, James Hewitt
©f Philadelphia, came here to make
plans for the funeral. The National
Press Club Post of the American
Legion, through Its commander.
Edward McE. Lewis, already was
making arrangements to give Hewitt
a hero's burial.
The post will provide a guard of
honor, Lewis said, as will the French
Embassy. Last rites pr->oably will be
held in the chapel at A. ington.
It seemed probable today that
Hewitt's 10-year-old son, Thomas
Hewitt, 3d. will not come to the
funeral. Hewitt's mother lives in
New York City and her health wiU
not permit her to attend, Legion offi
cials were informed.
The coroner's office, meanwhile,
Issued a certificate of death from
natural causes in Hewitt's case. The
War hero died at a rooming house
here.
Denmark has restricted the impor
tation of hairpins and seaweed.
127-Mile Jaunt
Brings Cat Back
To Capital Home
Pet Finds Way Back
After Being Taken
to Wolf town, Va.
How Kooler traversed the 127 miles
home still is a mystery, but the year
old cat was a mighty fatigued feline
today.
The animal's owner, Dr. Pearl
Hood of 706 Eighth street, a chiropo
dist, gasped when Kooler dragged her
self Into the house yesterday. About
two weeks ago the cat was carried to
the home of Dr. Hood's sister-in-law
In Wolftown. Va , near former Presi
dent Hoover's fishing camp on the
Rapidan River.
Kooler had never been away from
her Eighth street birthplace before
and apparently had nostalgic longings
to return. Slightly the worse for wear
and definitely tired, Kooler seemed
glad to be back again.
Her mistress said Kooler is Kooler.
all right, because the cat bears a
characteristic white spot on her chest
and readily responds to her name.
WAR ON NEW DEAL
BY ALL IS URGED
Knox Says 3,000,000 Demo
crat Votes Needed to
Beat New Deal.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 28—Col. Prank
Knox, candidate (or the Republican
presidential nomination, said last night
his party would need the support of
3.C00.000 "patriotic Democrats" if It
is "to defeat the subversive Washing
ton faction” in the Pall election.
Making what his aides termed his
last Important political address be
fore the Cleveland convention which
will pick the Republican standard
bearer for the November contest, Col.
Knox said:
"We are In the midst of a funda
mental crisis that will determine the
preservation or loss of American In
stitutions.
"We must proceed from that fact
to the conclusion that normal differ
# ''
ences between Republican and Demo
crat fade into Insignificance.
“Prom a practical standpoint the
reality and sincerity of this action
must be demonstrated by a generous
recognition of the necessity of obtain
ing the support of not less than 3,
000,000 Democrats in the battle to be
waged against a faction that had re
pudiated the Democratic platform, vio
lated all Democratic principles and
subverted the Constitution of the
United States."
His remarks were delivered in a
radio talk on "Good Government” at
a Pounders’ day banuet of Sigma
Delta Chi, Journalistic fraternity.
Declaring he was one of those who
believed the present Administration
had not provided good government,
Col. Knox said his opinion was based
to some extent on his idea “that the
less we are conscious of government
in our daily lives the better is that
same government.”
“The Republican Party, being the
only existing machinery of opposition,
must raise a standard under which all
who believe In democracy can meet.”
But to win, he said, “We must de
serve to win. We must give a real
demonstration that the Republican
Party is a worthy and effective instru
ment to meet the national crisis, to
defeat the subversive Washington fac
tion."
"We can meet this crisis by no
blind support to reactionary principles.
• * * We must be the champions
at whatever cost of support among
the unthinking of a true liberalism.”
The "infallible test” for the term,
he said, was: "Does a proposed in
novation in politics or government
add to the sum total of human lib
erty and individual freedom?”
"If it does not,” he continued, "no
matter by what it may be called, it
Is reactionary.”

The Wilsons, ior example
u UTINGS are an institution with the Wilsoiw. They’re out in the open
at every opportunity. It means so much to the children Mrs. Wilson confides.
Bobbie (he’s the older one) is a holy terror around the house so the
open spaces are happy hunting grounds for him.
You see, we’re vitally interested in the Wilsons because we’ve helped
Bobbie and Sister grow up. Their baby powder was bought here. The
eod liver oil that helped put the sparkle in their eyes came from our
counter. They’re growing so fast now we expect they’ll be coming in by
themselves before we know it.
We’re mighty proud of the part we play in the life of the Wilsons. It
was a real thrill when we heard that the prescription we delivered one
rainy night brought Bobbie’s temperature down before morning.
W’e like to hear Mr. Wilson's report on “the kids” when he stops in for
his daily supply of cigars.
It’s a great responsibility to take care of the Wilsons and the thousands
of other families who eount on Liggett’s. But as one neighbor to another
we delight in helping whenever we can. And we share the parents’ pride
when the Bobbies and Sisters grow up to be fine young people.
