'their dwindling supply of fighter planes. Their purpose, of course, Is to save their flKhters for the Just desperate omorgeney when the invasion actually stuns and they MUST have a reserve of pliines to fight t off with. Meanwhile wc are enabled lo dp greatly Increased damage to their war plants and their rail roads. In modern war, the side that has air superiority has u great advantage. REPORTS persist that our forces in Italy 'are being heavily built up-i-whether fir n attack i against the Gcrmnnp In Italy or for a thrust across ;the Adriatic .into the Balkans hot yet being apparent. It might be either. THE expected Jap all-out assault on the allied base of Imphal, in northeastern India, hau not malorial.ed as these words arp written, but Is moncntarlly ex pected. The monsoon rains, which will bog down transport, are near, and if the Japs are to save "face" In India (where they have been hoping to stir up political trouble) they will , have to get going pretty soon. Already the rains are beginning. Dispatches from our headquar ters In Ceylon have a growingly confident tone. Stilwell is still making progress down Into Bur ma from the north. THE news from northern China 1 isn't so good. The Japs eon-; llnue to make progress there. They are now closing in from 1 both ends on the 150 mile gap In the Pelplng-Hankow railroad for-1 merly held by the Chinese. Each j day's reports tell of further Jap j progress there. They are spurred on by dally : sinkings of their ships. They need rail lines of communication that can't be reached by our submarines. ON the home front, the dis patches tell us, "New Dealers read into the Florida, and Ala bama primary returns a major administration victory auguring well for next November'! elec tion, but critics of President Roosevelt point to Iho size of the OPPOSITION vote." Any politician ran always rend something favorable Into any kind of political developments, but realistic thinkers accept the results In Florida ai)d Alabama as Indicating that the South will vote solidly, as usual, for the nominee of the democratic con vention. THE Solid South, plus the led cm I office-holder vote, gives the New Dealers Rtrong start. Any republican who thinks the election this fall will be a walka way Is Just a plain wishful think er. The only ho)o of n republican victory lies In a choice of h candi date and the adoption of a plat form that will be so outstandingly GOOD as to win the complete confidence of the public. A GRAVE ACCUSATION By Charles V. Stanfoft SENATOR RUFUS HOLMAN, speaking before a group of republican leaders at a meeting in Roseburg Saturday, made grave accusations of administration blundering in connection with national defense, and laid responsibility for Iho Pearl Harbor disaster squarely in the lap of President Roosevelt. .,; : Senator Holman was angry. He was particularly irked; because of charges of falsification made" by the opposition to his candidacy. Anyone who knows the : senator .is well aware that when he is angered he does not mince words. In fact, despite five years in the national capital Holman has not mastered Washington double talk. A good deal of the criticism leveled at him in the current name-calling campaign, stems from the forthrightness with which he lias declared himself in the past. The senator often says what he thinks without stopping to think, if you get what we mean. He may be accused of many things, but beating around the bush is not one of them. His statements on political matters do not leave much possibility for varied interpretations. ' His accusations leveled at the administration, in anger over what he described as a deliberate attempt to "purge" him from office, were not couched in diplomatic language nor phrased to achieve his purpose by implication. Not only did he make flat declarations of political malpractice, but lie shouted his charges and called attention to the fact he was not whispering." ...... Taking into consideration the fact that the senator is a candidate for office, engaged in one of the bitterest smear ing campaigns this state has seen in many moons and that charges and countercharges are being made with reckless abandon, nevertheless the accusations concerning the ad ministration should bo more fujly elaborated and complete information should be given the public. ' It is customary for candidates for office to exaggerate ! conditions, and to turn any situation, if possible, to their own i advantage. It therefore becomes possible that Senator Hoi-; man was making political hay by his sensational charges. But we have no reason for doubting the truth of his asser tions, As a member pf the senate committee on military affairs, ho iias access to information denied the general public. If it is true, as he stated, 'that President Roosevelt disci plined General MaeArthur because ho demanded more ade quate defenses for the Pacific area, then the public is en titled to know all the facts. Senator Holman charged that Admiral Kimmcl was select ed for the Hawaiian defense post simply because he was a close personal friend and social pal of the president; that Kimmcl, instead of following the usual naval practice of immediately setting up a defense, program, countermanded all the orders and procedure of his predecessor, destroying by one order the plan for repelling attack in which personnel had been thoroughly drilled, so that when the Japs struck wt.. Pearl Harbor there was no organized and relieafsed program for meeting the assault. ' "' Army courtmartials are being Jield every clay, thtl sena tor asserted, and there is no reason why Admiral Kimmcl and General Short should not be brought to trial, except that "one hundred and thirty million people would rise in rage if they realized the extent of the president's blunder." Senator Holman thus openly accuses the administration of withholding facts, to which the public is entitled, be cause such information would affect the forthcoming presi dential election. We have no cause to doubt the truth of the senator's statements until they are controverted by facts. The nation has long been suspicious of a "nigger in the woodpile" in connection with the Pearl Harbor tragedy, be cause of the administration's reluctance to bring to justice those responsible for that great disaster. The senator's charge, openiy made, is one which should be thoroughly aired before the American public is called upon to elect a chief executive. DlALjlpLOG Iiy SUSAN Just in case this has been a blue Monday, there's lots of good programming on M!H) tonight to cheer you up, beginning at G:.H0 Willi the army air forces' show and winding up In a blaze of glory at II) o'clock with Sherlock Holmes.
