By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Oct 25-(ff)-We have just noted a headline read ing: "Dodger Offices Miss Mac Phail," and as touching as these words are we don't think they are as truthful as those saying that MacPhail misses the Dodger of fices.

For several days thereafter Mr. MasPhail pjeriodically would lean back in his swivel chair and gaze proudly at his new possession. It was a beauty all right But something was wrong, and Mr. MacPhail suddenly discov ered what, it was. . The ; shining gadget was just too nice for the desk, which was Just an ordinary desk at the best Under , such circumstances there was Just one thing to do buy a new desk. And while he was at it he might as well get an entire new set of office furniture. , In due time the new furniture arrived and was set up. Something still was wrong.

V.-;" -l f -r '. ':-' w-'xr ' The exception, nevertheless, is significant and clear-cut It is au tne more Important because it ' follows a '. pattern ; that t now characterizes every other, front of the global war except in Russia. In North Africa and the Medi terranean, in western Europe, in the Pacific from the Aleutians to the Solomons, and in China from the Burma : to the -l Manchurian border, American " air power is making itself felt American flown heavy bombers are Striking telling blows at long range at axis foes on all those fronts. American made planes manned! by British or other crews form another im portant segment of the ever widening .air attack. .' There seems no doubt from first accounts of the Egyptian offen sive and the parallel British trans-continental bombing of northern Italy targets that allied air superiority is a major factor in the situation. It could prove the decisive factor not in North Africa alone but also in shaping the course of the war in Russia. There Is no other source than Russia from which the axis could shift plane strength to the Egyp tian front quickly enough to meet the crisis for Rommel indicated by unofficial estimates of a five-to-one ' allied air superiority in North Africa, Italian planes are too ; urgently needed at . home against the sustained dark-and daylight raiding by the British in northern Italy, That is an impor tant by-product - of those raids of which war industries and ship ping destined to supply the Africa corps are the prime . targets. . Early . front line press' , reports passed by censors 'in Egypt show the British have 'driven, under an air umbrella, , relatively nar row corridors through Rommel's mine-field and gun defenses to an undisclosed depth.' Held open by following infantry,', they have been used to pass' heavy tank ele ments through to positions in rear of the axis forward" line deployed on . the irregular El Alameih- Qattara depression line. All ac counts' agree that Rommel's main armored strength is coming up, harried by British-American planes, for a crucial tank battle.

Ads Expense V If Reasonable WASHINGTON, Oct '? 6- The internal revenue bureau said Monday In a f o rm a 1 statement on deductions for advertising in figuring .income f taxes, that . it ' recognized advertising as a nec essary and legitimate business ex pense so long as it is not carried ' to an unreasonable extent or does not become an attempt! to avoid proper. tax payments.",.; , , The bureau said " no definite rule for determining what : was reasonable could be laid down in advance to fit, all situations, and therefore it would consider ap plications for individual rulings. It indicated a desire to limit these, as much as possible, however, and said individual rulings should not be necessary except under most unusual circumstances if the gen era! rules were followed.
