Aiken, who has been boomed by his New England neighbors as another budget-balancing Presidential possibility, took occasion to attack the party's present leadership and to demand, instead of a creed, an end to the age-old rotten borough representation of the South in Republican national conventions. To welcome Republican Chairman Hamilton when he arrived late in St. Louis from Washington, reporters asked him about such criticism as that of New Jersey's Robert W. Johnson (medical supplies).

Osborne had conceived a Mickey Mouse comic strip episode in which a Duke Varlott plots to gain the mythical throne of Medioka from his under-age nephew, King Michael. The Mickey Mouse strip is distributed by Hearst King Features Syndicate, one of whose clients is the Belgrade Politika. First Regent of Yugoslavia today is Prince Paul, first cousin once removed of King Peter, a minor, an analogy to the Mickey Mouse comic which few foreign papers failed to draw when fortnight ago Mickey Mouse was suppressed from Politika...
