It has been assumed that ac tual invasion .wodd be the .emergency that would bring out the hoarded .Gorman planes. Jho Itict that the big uir .battles of last week ibrought them out Is at least significant. Maybe we're beginning to hit the nazls where It REALLy HURTS. OUR Immediate problem Is to force ,the .perman planes up into the air and SHOOT THEM DOWN and the German problem is to hold cnougli of them back to meet the big Invasion push when it starts, The strategy is identical with that of the battle of BrItaln-r-In which the British managed by Bhqer .qouragc and It flying skill ,to beat p,ff the German air feets without sacrificing their awn re serves of lighten. SNCIDENTALLY, note the fre quency of our uir attacks on German CHEMICAL, centers. We must suspect the nazls of holding back a reserve of POISON GAS to be used In the last desperate emergency. THE Berlin radio sitys the Rus sians have started a new of fensive north of Luke llmen, which is clear up toward Lenin grad. If so, the Russians now have four major offensives under way In the Leningrad urea, north of the Prlpet marshes, south of the Prlpct marshes und In the Vin nitsa area, where they are threat ening the Odessa railroad. It takes POWER to mount four offensives at once. By Chrlo V. Stanton COLDIER vote legislation now before congress provides an excellent political football to be booted back and forth between the political leaders in the administration and con gress. It is to be doubted if the soldiers are very much con cerned with the matter of being able to vote at the forthcom ing elections, but, of course, are vitally interested in the principle involved. To deny the soldiers an opportunity to vote would create much resentment, but, on the other hand, had the issue never been raised, it is doubtful if any appre ciable number of jneii in the armed services would have given the idea any thought. Now, it having been developed into a political wrangle, the men in the armed services prob ably will watch the outcome jealously. Unless the attitude of the men and women in uniform has changed decidedly in the last 25 years, the soldier vote will be strictly adverse to the "ins" and very favorable to the "outs." Ve can remember how, back in 1917 and 1918, the men in uniform despised everything that savored of "brass-hat." The attitude was that those in charge of domestic and high up affairs in the government and military services were a bunch of nincompoops, who could be replaced with excellent results by any fairly intelligent buck private from the rear rank. The American soldier today is far better informed on cur rent events than were those in the last war- However, they seem to have the same ability to complain, criticize and grouse. , It may be safely presumed, .we believe, that they will hold the same disrespect for those in political authority. 1 hat may be one reason for the reluctance ,to place federal ballots in the hands of the troops. The measure, as first outlined, was clearly an invasion of states rights. The administration, which has never held any respect for the rights of states, naturally wanted political credit for placing ballots in the hands of the soldiers. Con gressmen, however, particularly ithose of the South, where states rights are held more sacred than in many other parts of the nation, have questiondd the method of .operation rather than the principle involved. Jt is interesting to note that the opposition to the plan for a federal ballot comes principally from the democratic side. It may be safely assumed, .we believe, that some plan for soldier voting will be adopted. No pplitician would dare to stick his neck out to say that soldiers are not entitled to a vote. But we predict the tabulation will show a very evident dissatisfaction with the existing authority, The lack of dynamic leadership in the republican party is clearly evidenced in its frantic groping for a candidate. The G. 0. P. needs, to cease its internal squabbles and settle upon a leader who can command the respect of the voters for his qualities of statesmanship. The party can't expect to win an election by simply shaking its head and clucking. t mania is rising to panic heights as the Russians near the Ruman ian border. The fact that -Bulcnrlu and Ru maniaboth of which would like to be out from under the Ger man thumb and over on our side .continue to do nothing to bring about tholr wished-for change oif allies is eloquent testimony to the fear in which they holtl their German masters. KRNR Mutual Broadoaatlna System, 1490 Kilooyoles. IN the eastern edge of Old Po- . I land, the Russians are now fighting In the vast Prlpet mulsh es, which have always been re garded lis one of the most for midable defenses in the entire Soviet Union. These marshes arc probably one reason why the Russian want eastern Poland. THE Polish govftiiment-lnexlle I is displaying signs o' willing ness to dicker with Russia about Poland's future boundaries, hav ing called upon the United States und Btilain to bring the Pules and the Russians together to dis cuss "all outstanding questions." The Brillsh are obviously friendly to the Russian Ideas as to Poland and the dispatches sug gest that they uro trying to bring the Poles around to the soviet way of thinking. This Is he point: Russia has the power to TAKE WHAT SHE WANTS.

( AP) A weekend fire de stroyed the starch plant of the Hannon Refining company at Henley, south of here, and se verely burned Walter Hannon, head of the firm, when he at tempted to extinguish the blaze. Forty thousand pounds of starch and 1,000 sacks of pota toes were destroyed in the fire, which began from an explosion of starch in a new rotary drier. Hannon said he would rebuild the plant Immediately if granted WPB permission. The company has bqen using low grade potatoes to make starch and dextrin, chiefly on war orders. .. DIALlFLOG You'll notice that Cleveland Symphony is listed tonight at 7:30 which was most upsetting when we discovered it; but it's all rieht this is a special deal a sort of a farewell appearance for Conductor Leinsdorf before he starts doing squads right and left for Uncle Sam. A few more "farewell" appearances and he'll be right in the same class with Bernhardt and some of the other artists who made annual farewell appearances for years. We heard via "Radio Tour" that Mary Mar tin was going to. sing on the con cert which doesn't seem quite right. It's a bit hard to imagine "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" on the Cleveland Symphony, which has, to date, been strictly long hair. If you aren't a devotee of the classics, Tuesday night gives you Annaloris at 6:30 with Music You Remember (occasionally she wanders in to classics, but not of ten enough to make it distressing for those who dislike them). Then there's Chuck and Jack at 8:15 and you needn't worry there they give strictly with the west ern tunes. In case-you think this -sounds like we're looking down our nose, we hasten to add that we never miss one of their programs and we're still waiting to hear our requests.
