A few hard-boiled gen erals of the line, and some In fantrymen, more acquainted with the grime and mud of the fox-holes than the oak floors and davenports of a fancy resort, would fit into the deliberations nicely. They would be shy of "lofty ideals." but there would be no ' loopholes in the "in ternational security machine," through which to cast a monkey- wrench. The politicians made. 1 War I peace.

VIRTUE EXPOSED (Kansas City Tlm) William Southern, Missou ri editor, had a long-distance call the other morning asking to what church Senator Tru man belonged. 'Bnptlst,' he replied. 'That Is the church he stays away from when he doesn't go'." "The caveman knocked his lady friend senseless. In these times this is not necessary." (American Mag.)

Upstate infatuated New Deal ers, addicted to writing letters to the editors of the metropoli tan press, havo adopted Herbert Hoover, the only ex-presldent, as their campaign target. After November, Mr. Hoover will no longer be the only ex-presldent. The fact Mr. Hoover is no more an issue than the chief of a Lab rador Eskimo tribe makes no difference. They are equipped with but one halo, and never get through enjoying It. INSIGNIFICANCE PEAK (Oakland (Cal.) Trlbun.) "We had an Idea that no years had seen so many really great news stories until we read In Louella Parsons' col umn (on the day of the in vasion of southern FranceHhat 'the most surprising story of the year is the separation of Cary Grant and his wife, Bar bara Hutton'," Products of the valley left last night by cargo plane for New York City.

I 1650 miles I Afo So Fast Considering the daily rout of the Germans in that enterprising U. S. entreprenuers should be gain ering up red-fire and ticker-tape for the Labor Day victory celebration. And of course, as we have frequently stated, the Nazi house of cards might collapse tomorrow. When its foundations really do ably come with surprising PUT there is considerable - victory in France, great as it is, is being played up for all it is worth, by the allied information services as morale-building and morale-destroying propa ganda. England particularly needed a shot-in-the-arm in view of the resumption 01 for the Nazi satellites like for the Germans themselves, the more devastating this American triumnh before Pans could be por trayed, the better the chances of a complete Axis panic ana immediate collapse. 1 APPARENTLY the German 7th army has been nlirmnaforl aa -far act nmr fnrfrior offppHvpnp.ca in this war is concerned. But after all the 7th army is only the 7th army. There are many German armies left, probably over 2,000,000 fairly effective troops, and unless the German soldiers revolt, or actual nanic does assail them, (which considering the innate German sense of discipline is not likely) they will certainly be driven into the thick of battle, by Hitler and his cohorts in a last desperate effort to halt the allied advance. THERE is another fact to be kept in mind. As every big-game hunter knows a fatally wound ed animal is far more dangerous than an unwounded one. Realizing the war is lost and they are lost with it, there is good reason to believe the Nazi gang of cut-throats, will now resort to any diabolical device possible, poison gas, poisoned wells, secret weapon No. 2. or what have you, in a final dying gasp of nate destruction and vindictiveness. ' . . . , CO taking everything into consideration it is prob ably just as well to go a bit slow on that red fire and ticker tape jubilee, ten days hence. Far better for the allied cause to OVERestimate the powers of enemy resistance at this stage of the game than UNDERestimate them 1 How Come? William Green, President of the American Feder ation of Labor has frequently pointed with pride to the non-partisan character of his great labor organiz ation.

Com mittee For Political Action, going down the line for Wallace at the recent Democratic convention in Chicago. DUT yesterday, also in Chicago, the Intemation u al Brotherhood of Teamsters under the direction of Daniel Tobin requested members and friends "to do everything in their power to the end that Roosevelt and Truman may be elected." The teamsters are affiliated with the A.F.L. not the C.I.O. How come, if non-partisan organization unions goes down the line Will the President of the American Federation of Labor please explain? On Changing Horses We are indebted to S.N. in the Garden City (Kansas) Telegram for the following. When the presidential campaign starts up, if it ever does, we hope it all can be taken in that spirit, or at least without bitterness or rancor or waste basket heaving. We quote: The big day arrived and a large crowd gathered on both banks of tlio stream while reporters took notes and cameras, including one from Life magazine, clicked. One enterprising promoter Imd even sold space and rowboats and launches right out in the stream. On the south bnnk Ed and George stood, each holding the reins of a horse, Ed's black one and George's dapple gray. They were Just about to begin their great publicized experiment on changing horses in the middle of the stream. The boys hud been henring the phrase for months and with their usuiil scientific interest decided to see first hand what it was all about. George was to ride the dapple gray out to the middle of the strongly running, hip -high stream Ed was to lend the black one out to him ami then George was to make the daring attempt to change mounts. m 9 9 m 'The experiment really isn't quite fair," Ed explained to an AP man, "neither George or I are good horsemen and we probably couldn't do a good Job of changing horses in the middle of a meadow, let alone a stream. But if we succeed, it will prove that anybody can do it safely." Well, atler all the fanfare and suspense, the thing went off smoothly and easily. With no apparent trouble George got off the gray, clambered up on the black, pulled a little fish out of one riding boot and rode to the north bank while the crowds cheered and souvenir hunters dove for the fish which George tossed Into the waters. When he reached dry land there were congratulations. Interviews and more pictures and finally, after an hour, the crowd and the press representatives began to break up. Just before. Ed and George left Ed happened to glance out Into the middle of the stream. There, forgotten by all In the excitement, was the dapple gray, still standing in the midst of the swirling waters. He pointed the fact out to the stableman who cupped his hands and yelled out to the dapple gray: 'Come on, Franklin, time to go home:'' descriptions of the bloody France, it is not surprising crumble the end will prob suddenness, reason to believe that this the aerial blitz, while both Bulgaria and s inland, and leacierg 0f the C.I.O., for tlim - o stroa tW Vmrro flTfl the Roosevelt campaign, the A.F.L. is such a strict that one of its strongest for the Democratic ticket? News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Aug. 23. No private telephone or back-office appendages were involved in the Hull-Dew ey front- - page Jockeying o n world peace. The partici pants spoke all they had to say in h e a d lines. But the refined p o 1 i t ics, the subtle parry and thrust, were neglected in the reports. i'tul Mallon although these established Dewey in a new in- ternational character and will be of inestimable importance in the campaign. The administration's campaign policy has been to play Dewey to the public as a barefoot boy in international affairs, without experience or ability for leader ship. To tear down this concep tion has probably been the most difficult technical task of the re publican leadership, because by common understanding (without any agreement whatsoever) par-j tisan discussion of peace has somehow been made taboo. At the same time, Mr. Roosevelt has been using war and peace de velopments as his justification for the fourth term. In fact, this has been his whole campaign thus far. THE Dewey developments fair ' ly well broke into this general line of Roosevelt's campaign. It happened this way: The Russian plan for an in ternational air force under a world organization bestirred Dewey to speak out against dom ination of the world by the big four nations to the detriment of the smaller ones. This is a sub ject closer to State Secretary Hull's heart than to Churchill's or Stalin's, and Hull may have secretly welcomed this help from an uncxcpcctcd source. But he handled the matter in accord ance with the administration campaign strategy, retorting that Dewey did not know what he was talking about, suggesting that if Dewey came down here he would see there was nothing secret in the conference. This was supposed to shut Dewey up, but he accepted an invitation which was not seri ously intended, or even formally offered and he came forward to fill it with an international ad viser of recognized experience equal or beyond that of Mr. Hull (longer anyway). He demanded that the big four keep their armies out of woijld economics and submitted the first concrete proposal for postwar action that went beneath the surface of gen eralities. AEORGE FOSTER DULLES, his " mentor, wrote the peace pro gram for the Federal Council of Churches and the American Bar association, two elements which could Just about elect Dewey in the church-going middle-class na tion, if the race were close. At any rate he is an old League of Nations man, whereas the ad ministration had set up a cam paign against Dewey as an isola tionist. Furthermore, Dewey put his shoes on and demanded in ternationalization of the Ruhr valley, something specific and far beyond the general agrecing to agree expected from the Dum berton Oaks meeting. He could even have gone fur ther and proposed that the pro ceeds of the coal mines, the iron mills and the great lumber for ests In that Ruhr source of Ger man power be used to rehabili tate the postwar world instead of our money exclusively. The French tried to make the Ruhr pay for the last war. The Germans always outmaneuvercd them. THE game here Is to draw ' Messrs. Dulles and Dewey In to definite commitments as they have come thus far. Some repub lican senators fear their candi date will become involved at Dumberton in specific arrange ments which will not prove pop ular. I do not think so. To date. Dewey thus has adroitly moved to dispel the administration cam paign illusion of his incapacity and isolationism and interposed upon the basic Roosevelt cam paign schedule. In short, he has put his shoes on, and kicked. Livestock Portland, Ort tpek: . Au. 23 (UP) Live- I'nttle, 225; calves. 90. Supplr la rite ly urns row.

Scott, who told police he was an escapee from the State Indus trial School at Ogden, Utah, said in his ' statement that he and Lang, with another youth, rob bed a grocery store in Roseville, Calif., recently.
