Democrats to point to military record

Syracuse, New York (UP) – (Jan. 15)
Democratic National Committee chairman Frank C. Walker said tonight that his party would campaign in this presidential election year on the administration’s military record.

Declaring in a Jackson Day address to Upstate New York Democratic leaders that the party leadership had brought into being “the best equipped, most admirable Army and Navy in American history,” Mr. Walker added:

We shall go before the country in the campaign year of 1944 and report to the country what we did and we shall not be afraid.
