Fred Dioquardo of the U.S.A., a ball turret gunner and radio man wlio knows well what aerial combac with the Jerry is , has coni c in \ on a wing and a prayer \ more than once , but last Saturday he was a. little sur- prised to come home as the fulfillment ol a dream. He walked into the seemingly empty Prank- Dioquardo house in Bayport after 14 months in England and found no one about , but from upstairs floated the familiar voice of his mother asking \Who ' s there?\ And that' s exactly the way it was in Mrs. Dioquardo ' s dream , says her son . And her whole family of dark , smiling daughters confirm it — Mrs. Radford Sprague , Mrs. Joiin Engel , Mrs. Charles Suckow and Mrs. Richard Leach ol Sayville , nntl Mrs . Sam Castanzo of Bayport. She told tliem Fre d was com- ing hom e soon and that' s how it would be . Site didn 't tell them , though , that Prod would be coming home with the Distinguished Flying Gross and Uve Oak leaf Clusters , or that he -would have tales to tell of shooting down five planes , hanging out of his ball turre t 20, 000 fee t above the earth , litterbin?- Redistricf ing-Gives Suffolk lis Own State Senato r Suffolk County wil l elect its own State Senator next year and after the beginning of the year will be known as the First Senatorial District. Thc long light lor reapportionment ended last Thursday when the Court of Ap- peals upheld the set passed by toe Legislature early this year. This is the first redisricting since 1917 and under it the State ^ will . -have ftvo . -iK _ .ff tiOiiatoi s ' and the same num- ber of assemblymen. At present Suf- folk shares its senatoria l district with Nassau County. Both counties are represented at- present by State Sena- tor Perry B. Duryea. Following enactment of the redis- tricting bill , the Republican leg isla- tion was fought bitterly by the Demo- cratic Stnte Committee. With its le- gality thus challenged the case wns taken to the Supreme Court where In special term the Democratic conten- tion of unconstitutionality was upheld in a decision written by Justice Pierce A. Russell . . Thursday ' s Court of Appeals an- nouncement came as a surprise , al- though a fti vorable decision had been expected by Republican leaders , legis- lative and political , among whom Suf- folk County ' s Republican chairman , W. Kingsland Macy, was one who fought most tenaciously for the new apportionment for years.
