The post-war auto will be equipped "with the most ef ficient brakes ever created by automotive engineering," the public is informed. Possibly, a way has been found to make them grip three times as tight as the driver it Wayne L.

This is .' an old trick to find out what name the middle initial of a dis tinguished citUen stands for.

Hopkins, the deputy pre sident being on hand to arrange for the planting of a loud speax er, and the Chicago superinten dent of sewers in the basement. Wendell Wlllkie, the GOP pre sidential aspirant, who charmed the rank and file voters by his St. Louis speech of last week, has de-charmed them by getting too big for his britches. He boasts he can have the republi can nomination next year If he wants it By thus proclaiming himself the white-haired boy on the burning deck before the deck is on fire, he leads manfully with his chin Into a buzz-saw. At times, Mr. Willkle looms as political ball of fire.

""essSSieseaeSnB. Even greater Russian victories than have hereto been reported can be expected this week. For Stalin is smart He realizes his ace in the hole in this poker game with Messrs. Hull and Eden, is his Red Army, and what it can do. ABOVE everything else Mnf a lnA iiw a Atuub duuui ux uie Aips uub west oi me Rhine not next Spring, but NOW ! For Stalin ia convinced that with fhn Woat nf -wvx, the U-boat such an offensive men witn tne Ked Army striking in the East; and the united American and British armies in the west, Germany can De beaten not next year, but this. As a result Russia can 'win at tna minimum rathm than the maximum cost. , VES, Stalin is smart He saw iiicijr oxiicnu aiiu icausui; ujlc, He has been asking for this second front now for over a year. He knows words won't get it Deeds, if they are big and convincing enough, will. a CO undoubtedly the order has gone out to his gen erals on the eastern front to smash the Germans as they have never been smashed before. To present before this Kremlin conference is over a greater vic tory than Stalingrad the greatest Russian victory of the war. . Whereupon to the familiar Anglo-American claim that a second front can't year, the "Man-of-Steel" this: "O. K., gentlemen -the Red army will drive the Ger mans out of Russia in 90 days, Hitler will be liquidated, a communist Germany and a communistic Russia will then sign articles of peace!" ' And what will Messrs. Hull and Eden do when that ultimatum is presented? Well, Hull is a veteran poker player. Eden is a resourceful and clever diplomat .as a . . "YUR guess is and of course this is all pure guess work that a compromise will be reached.' That second front Stalin demands will be promised, not at, ONCE but far sooner than was thought possible six months ago, or even three. It will not be ALL that Stalin wants, but a satis factory proportion of it Stalin will win and the Red army probably the strongest army the world has ever seen will be the prime cause of it What Will the Answer Be? Perhaps a few days' hence when the official re sults of the Kremlin conference are announced, some kind reader they are ALWAYS kind will give the skipper of this department the grand and glorious horse-laugh. ,' "Look at what they did and look at what you said!" will be the sweet refrain, "Stalin never threat ened to make a separate peace and never even thought of it". A ND at that "KR" might be right . But the official report would not prove it. For no allied conference since the war started will be as secret as this one, the details more difficult to obtain. It is highly probable in fact it is almost certain that the details of this meeting will not be known until some time after the war is over. . a a A ND for a very good reason. There is dynamite in this conference, it is scattered all over the place, and one little spark of friction allowed to escape to the outside world might well result in a devastating explosion. - ' A workable agreement will undoubtedly be 'reached such an agreement is as necessary to Russia as it is to England and the United States. But precisely what the agreement is and precisely how it was reached will probably be a military secret for the duration. "What Price Glory?

C, Oct. 16 (Special Correspondence) An other session this week, this time with members of the Pro duction Executive Committee of the War Production Board along with A. H. Bunker, head of the light metals division of WPB. Wilson (acting WPB chairman) presided and did most of tha talking, with Mr. Bunker to furnish statistics and technical knowledge as called for. Tha members of the PEC including a couple of Army gen eral and some admirals said nothing. Once more we were told that the three alumina - from - clay plants previously approved for construction one in Wyoming, one in South Carolina, and one in the Northwest would not be approved now. There is a little gauxlte left In Arkansas enough to last about two years. We have a small stockpile about one year's supply. After that un less we can keep the sea lanes open, we will have NO alumina at alll In the face of these facts (which were fully admitted at both meetings), WPB to date re fuses to consider developing a means of producing alumina In our own country.

I do not advise taking more iodine or more fre quent doses or any other form than plain Mild Tincture of Iodine (a preparation of similar Iodine strength official in the British Pharmacopoeia) in any circumstance. The Iodine in the Iodin Ration is a food, a food every man, woman and child re quires for good nutrition.

That question has been a hard one to get answered. It has not yet been officially an swered probably never will be. Two rumors appeared this week which, if they are true, give an unofficial but rather nasty an swer: Rumor No. 1 Aluminum In terests have only VERY recent ly, completed negotiations for the purchase of some West Coast shipping facilities as sumption is such a deal insures post-war Importation of bauxite from the very rich Dutch East Indies deposits. Rumor No. 2 Aluminum in terests DID NOT complete ne gotiations for control of one of the three proposed alumina- from-clay plants, thus giving them little or no interest in the proposed further development of alumina from clay in the United States. These reports are pasjid along for whatever they may be worth. We are entitled to a much better and more reasonable an swer than has thus far been given officially for the fact stands reaffirmed and undis puted by anyone that, if we have planes made of aluminum to use In fighting this war after three years or to use in defending the country in the future the raw material must be shipped in from South America (or from the East Indies, when and if we get control of them again) . . . un less WPB again changes its mind,, back to Its first decision and permits the further develop ment of Blumnla-from-clay with In the boundaries of the United States. e e e IT will be recalled that the first objection to the alumina- from-clay plant in the North west was because of a shortage of manpower.

But the manpower problem on the West Coast has not been entirely settled. Last Saturday, Just after writing the weekly letter, I sat with a committee of Pacific Coast Congressmen and we heard heads of WPB, WMC, Army, Navy and Maritime Com mission explain the Nelson man power directive of September 18th, and how it had affected purchases and ' the letting of contracts on . the West Coast. The hearing lasted from ten in the morning (Saturday) until six In the evening. The steno graphic report of the proceed ings for the day is a volume Wi inches thick (typewritten). It is on my desk now in original form, so that I may correct any errors made In transcribing my questions and comments. But briefly, here it what we learn ed: Order of September I6th was definite and final. Stopped contracts and purchases. . How ever, Army, Navy and Maritime Commission had not actually cancelled any contracts or placed new contracts elsewhere they apparently were waiting clarification or modification of the order. Our little committee -went In to action October 5th. On Octob er 8th. the services received a supplemental order modifying and clarifying the September 18th order. Our second hearing was held on the 9th. Whether the activities of the commltte had anything to do with the second or clarifying order, which did smooth things out considerably, no one will ever Know out the dates are interesting as. a matter of coin cidence, if nothing else. At any rate, as matters now stand, purchases will be made as form erly and contracts will be let as formerly with the provision that regional committees will pass upon such contracts as may be open to question on the sub ject of manpower. a e NO action in the House again this week, but the program for next week, Just received, in dicates resumption of legislative business after what seems to have been an unreasonably long period of inactivity.

How Nice of the Draft Boards To the editor: I read with in terest the account in your paper of the recent "birthday" party at which the two Medford draft boards celebrated the third anniversary of their organiza tion. Why didnt they let us know? Many of us now in uniform would have loved sending some little gift. Not much, but some little unratloned something just to show we hadn't forgotten them. But after all the "invita tions" they have mailed during their three years, this was the one time no able bodied men were invited, i And they had cake and Ice cream, toot I'm sure many of the home town boys nibbling on a dog biscuit somewhere out in the South Pacific or Italy will be too, too happy when they read that the draft boards are still able to cast aside the wor ries of a war-torn world long enough to kick up their heels at . party.
