In raids over U. S. air bases the past week-end, the Japs claim they shot down 100 American planes. Hooey! If the Japs had done so they would not Vnow it An air raid in this man's war is an in-and-out affair the old one two-punch technique. No loiterin? is Dossible. Therefore nr acrmrata accounting is possible. Hit planes, of course, are not ed, also those nlainlv shot down or hit on the orounri. An official tally is kept But it is only a truess that is all it can be. JAPAN can KNOW how many of its own planes are lncf 4V1 if ImrttlTO tintir manir IaiI , KAVtAwr U n n!r at bases. It can't know how many of the enemy are lost. We don't claim this though the Japanese war and absurdly fiction than those of any other com batant nation in this conflict But all reports of enemy air losses, bv ALL na tions, are mere conjectures things they can be nothing IT IS surprising, therefore, to see as conservative and realistic a war commentator as Paul Mallon take reports of enemy air losses as correct, and draw con clusions therefrom. The High Command of H. C.'s try in every way to enemy losses as possible; officially they give the doubt, not themselves. They have found by sad experience to work on any other basis is an example of taking a chance via wishful thinking which may prove extremely injuri ous later on. The Radio and The War Speaking of false and there is an interesting controversy on now between radio commentators and some of the larger radio- cnam executives. ' Paul W. White, new head of "Columbia" for ex ample, has ruled that all war news hereafter must be held to impartial fact without personal interpretation or editorial comment. The pontifical and stagey H. V. Kaltenborn na turally objects to this. If H. V. couldn't tell the radio listeners precisely what this item means and that, the exact result upon the war and human history, with all the proper interpretations of omniscience, he would be out of a job, and might have to look for properly remunerative work. So they naturally clash. . e a '. TTHE confusion seems to arise largely because the . audible presentation of news is a very recent de velopment, an art not yet grown-up; whereas visible news presentation via the printed word, had had more than one hundred years' experience. As a result radio news presentation has not "jelled" so to speak, it is still in a state of flux and considerable confusion. In a certain sense in radio everybody is doing it, in stead of a division of labor existing as in the news paper business. AT least that is the, way the problem appears to this department" An agitated radio editor inquires for example "who is right and who is wrong?" There seems no agreement in any direction, "even among radio executives, commentators and above all the radio listeners themselves I" The answer is both and nonel This is no ethical problem, it is purely an organi zation problem. The radio like the press should have two departments and keep them as the press does, or should entirely separate and independent There should be the NEWS department, and the .EDITORIAL department. The news men should con fine themselves to reporting thenews and nothing else: the editorial or commentator group, should con fine themselves to the interpretation of that news its real meaning and significance as they see it, and nothing else. ' The radio public should difference, just as they are informed regarding the difference between the news columns and editorial columns of a newspaper. The abuses Mr. White automatically eliminated, H. V. Kaltenborn objects Q.E. D.I . When Is a Strike?

I had a hideous dream the other nltrht brought on, perhaps, by a hos pital size helping of French fries i nao tor supper crisp, golden, French fries such as you get once In a coon's age. I dreamed 1 was starving, and after a vast number of people had passed by ignoring my piteous pleas for iooa, a nice Kind lady called me into her kitchen and handed me a huge mound of mashed potato with a crater filled with butter. With my last breath 1 thanked the lady for her noble gesture, told her what she could do with the mashed potato and eot un and made myself a Virginia ham sandwich, topped off with a fresh peach tart. If one who is subject to Irre sistible craving for prodigious amounts of sweets or starches at times can satisfy the craving by eating raw potato, raw wheat, raw oats, raw turnip, raw car rot, raw celery, or any other natural food one likes in its raw state, that is the happy way to control the craving and main tain good nutrition. If the potato, cabbage, wheat or another natural food (unre fined) must be cooked, the shorter the cooking the better. Reason baked notato- is the best way Is that nothing is dis Our boys, once thevVe be come soldiers, are even more resourceful than they were when home and sans uniform. Of course each wants to find a girl friend as soon as possible. The oblique way some of them go about doing so is highly en tertaining. Once settled in camp, a boy may not look for a girl. In stead, he looks around for a young boy. If he's lucky, the boy will have a sister. The right kind of girl, and most of our boys prefer that kind, might think a direct approach too brash. Hence the meet- brother-first technique. Take the case of Paul, for instance. Paul was 13 years old and felt mighty setup when the trio of soldiers not only spoke to him but offered to treat him to a coke. First, the soldiers asked him where he lived. He lived on farm three miles out of town. ' Then they asked about his mother and dad. Oh, they' were adroit, I tell you! Father worked in the shipyard while mother and he held down the farm. Then casually, oh so casually, they asked if he had a sister. Indeed he did! three of them. "I suppose they've named one of their children after you," said one of the lads in uniform. Sly, that one. Of course he soon found out that the three were unmarried and were aged IS, 20 and 22. This was simply too good to be true. Were they pretty? Well, they should be, always fixing their faces! Yes, they danced. Maybe they'd go to the dance at the Orange hall nearby tomorrow night. The soldiers offered him another coke. They told Paul how lonesome they were, so far away from home. By the time they'd- bought him some ice cream and a package of peanuts, Paul was feeling pretty sorry for them. When they said it would help some If they could be taken to a dance, Paul gallantly offered to have Marge, Lila and Maxine escort them. He failed to men tion the arrangement when he got home. The next evening, answering a knock at the door, the mother was confronted with the soldier trio. They'd coma, they said,.

GHOST OF RIBALD BARBARY COAST San Francisco Now Caters to Soldiers, Sailors Home From Far Fronts. By Nick Bourne United Press Correspondent San Francisco, Oct. 11 (U.R) The ghost of the Barbary Coast walks by day and literally dances at night here at the fun nel to the Far East y through which thousands of pleasure seeking soldiers and sailors pour to- the Pacific war fronts. Evary kind of nickel-catching peep show (wartime admission price, 28 cents), penny arcade, dime-primer and dollar-extractor known to the P. T. Barnum fraternitj' plus suma new ones has sprung up along Market street, the city's main thorough fare. Mile-Long Way When the boy in uniform ar rives at the Ferry building at the foot of Market street he faces a mile-long gay way, com bination of county fair, three ring circus without elephants and Oriental bazaar. Every available foot of store and office space has been bought up. In between the department stores, shows and cafes, the Golden Gate has opened on a tremendous new business holes in the wall reaping a glittering harvest. The county has 1385 taverns or bars, all called something 61se because California law prohibits signs proclaiming "tavern, sa loon or bar". Their cash regis ters chime an all-time record crescendo. Signs clamor at the soldier seeking a time for himself: "Pictures while you wait, 25 cents." A South Seas veteran with a beard would be a sucker not to have a picture taken for posterity. "Tattoo artist upstairs." "Gifts, novelties, lokes. tricks. Christmas cards." Continuous Shows "Mldnlte show tnrtita " "Pnn. tinuous performances, open all mgm. "Gore-Anns frtllU ViMiittaa lavish arrav at fnmlnitvstnra by the dozens see the lovely specialty dancing deDutantes." "Human beings with tails not a picture Not waxl"' -serpentina, the snake lady." The former "nwinv arrad" has grown to five-cent size. None of the machines bounces back so much as a stick of gum.

Shooting devlcea such as electrically operated "machine guns" which ring a bell when an "enemy plane" is shot down, were second in pop ularity. Pinball machines rank third. On the back wall "gor geous art studies of artists and models" draw some trade at a nickel a peek through a stere opticon gadget Ouside, three young sailors stop a pedestrian: "Where can we see a good show?" "Up the street is a good mu sical." The sailors say nothing. "Down the street they have a cowboy picture." -Sailors not in terested. "Well," the pedestrian hesi tates, seeing the boys' campaign ribbons, "there's a war picture over yonder." "Oh boy!" cry the sailors. "A war picture!" and they scamper across to see how Hollywood is doing the war. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued from Fag One) itself, economies must be limited to what a few earnest leaders like Byrd can chisel out of a re luctant government. ANONYMOUS congressional tallr rmihllsVir-H) rlAmnnrlinor Treasury Secretary Morgan thau's resignation, did not repre sent a formidable movement. It was. not loud enough to be heard by more than one news man. . Mr. Morgenthau is unpopular with the legislators, but in a mild way. The Senate Finance committee especially is person ally antagonistic. . Yet he is re garded as such a close family friend of both Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt, that most congress men would as soon demand the President's resignation. Sub-surface evidence also In dicates the treasury tax pro gram was not a personal Mor genthau opus. Economic Stabilizer Vinson earlier had called for gome au thority in tax matters, and ap parently got it. He joined the treasury experts In White House tax conferences with Mr. Roose velt before presentation of the scheme. Most congressmen fer vorently suspect Mr. Roosevelt had as much of a hand in it as anyone else. QUIET replacement of Geor gia's Representative Cox by California's Lea as head of the radio investigation was engi neered by Speaker Rayburn, several times previously, Mr Raybum has declined to ask for Mr. Cox's resignation, although privately requested by liberal groups. The course of the Inquiry, however, made Cox's position untenable. The embarrassment of FCC charges concerning his receipt of a check from a radio station, enabled the culprits he was pursuing to ruin the force of the whole Inquiry.
