Meb STAUJ IK . 1 - i rLniiyJiixIL . , News Behind The News ByPaulMalloD Washington, Nov. 4. No one will be kicked out of the Re publican party including Mr. Willkie. True, some of the party right-handers in congress are biting their fingernails to the ZTA elbow because Mr. Willkie is developing in to a Roosevelt war leader. A few like Repre sentative Dew ey Short of Missouri, Roy Woodruff of Michigan and Harold Rnut son of Minne Paul Mallon sota are really serious about divesting their party of the Willkie war influ ence. But the party senators on the other side of the capitol and party men generally are exhibit ing no eagerness to take up the round robin rebellion movement started in the house. A story is going around the Republican cloakroom that the original idea upon which Will kie acted (forcing repeal of the neutrality act) came from Sen ator Bridges. He had the legis lative drafting service prepare a repealer bill for him more than a month ago, sold it to Senators Gurney and Austin. But three days before these Re publicans planned to come out with it, Mr. Willkie grabbed their ball and streaked down the field. Some personal dissat isfaction with Willkie, even on his own side of the interven tionist fence, has been caused by this incident but It illus trates as wel las anything that Republican interventionist sen timent runs far beyond Willkie.

(P) Rus sia, fighting "a war of libera tion alone against Germany" and her allies, is handicapped by lack of a second European front, but "the assistance give by Great Britain and the United States is of great importance and growing continually," Pre mier Joseph Stalin declared to day in an address over the Mos cow radio. (In Bern, Switzerland, listen ers heard Stalin say lack of a second front in Europe was one cause of "the temporary re treat" of the Soviet armies and, in an apparent appeal to Brit ain, "appearance of a second front would greatly facilitate our task.") Losses Recited German losses since the In vasion of Russia last June 22 have reached 4,500,00 men, dead, wounded and . captured, Stalin said, and "if the Ger mans want a war of destruc tion, they will certainly get it." Speaking on the eve of the 24th anniversary of -the Bolshe vik revolution, Stalin said slaughter and plunder were the Hitler policy, and therefore "the policy of the Red army is to destroy the Germans to the very last wan.'' "' ' ' Mentioning In passing" that the French government had sold out to Hitler for fear of a revo lution, Stalin said, "Only the Hitlerite madmen can think they can build a new order un der the present conditions in Europe. "The new order is ready to collapse at any moment and bury Hitler in Its ruins." Soviet Rear Strong Sim saiii Suv!? losses were 350,000 killed and o2S:00U wounded or missing. He said the Soviet rear never had been so strong as at this moment and that Red army morale was Infinitely higher than that of the German army. The German army has been forced to construct new bases on unfriendly territory, where as "our army is fighting on its own territory," the Russian pre mier asserted, "with our people exerting every effort to keep It supplied. ' It is unnecessary to add that the blitzrieg has failed." He declared that "another reason for the temporary Red army setbacks is tha shortage of tanks. "It cannot be said that our tank industry is not working well; it is working very well for its size, but the Germans can throw in more tanks, as they have not only their own factories but also the factories of Czecho-Slovakia. France and the countries of Europe which they occupy. "Our aviation Is superior In quality; our pilots have proved themselves. W have fewer planes, but the quality of our tanks and planes is superior."

May Spread Convoys To Foil U-Boat Packs Washington, Nov. 8. IP) The menace of German submar ine raids in the north Atlantic raised speculation In naval circles todav that a complete turnabout in strategy, subordinating the use of convoys, might prove the wolf pack technique. The central theory in tne van- ous methods being explored was that mass submarine attacks would be rendered largely Inef fective if armed merchantmen traveled singly instead of being bunched in convoys. The discussions, accompanied two fresh developments in the battle of the Atlantic tha an nouncement that 17 American civilian technicians had been lost en route to England, and disclosure that U-boats have been operating close to New foundland. Th latest American casual ties were men who had enlisted in the British civilian technical i . . -i . . ... corps for nou-comoaiam uuij abroad. Their loss was mac public last night by the British press service on behalf of the royal air force delegation here. The ship which carried the technicians "is presumed to have been sunk," the British said, and ' telegrams have been sent to the next of kin." Name of the ship and the approxlmatiou of the sinking were not disclosed. Added to other recent casual ties in the armed services and merchant marine, the new losses increased to 140 the known toll of American lives in the past three months. - Lilvinoff To Replace Constantino Oumanskf fl, R.st Envoy to U.S. Washington, Nov. 6.
