Warren, keynoter of the forth coming convention, has re-$s' ceived widespread public sup-f port for the vice presidential i spot, and indications are that! Dewey would like to have him J there. I There is an interesting par- trtT allel In the careers of the two men, both of them going on to head the government of great states after successfully running import ant district attorney's offices Dewey in New York, and Warren in Alameda county, Calif. As able administrators of two leading states one on the east coast and the other on the west Dewey and Warren represent good govern- ment Alf Landon probably had them in mind when he remarked that "plain, simple, old-' fashioned good government will be one of the great issues of this campaign." Plain good government does have an appeal to people who have had a heavy dose of bureau cratic, intricate, top-heavy government that gets more that way by the day and by the hour, a a e e Yearn For Wendell AN interesting development in the political situation is the yearning note present when pro-Roosevelt people talk about Wendell Willkie. - Since Willkie has withdrawn as a republican presidential aspirant, he apparently has become a saint to people who wouldn't vote for him if he were nominated in 1944, and lashed him bitterly when he WAS the GOP presidential nominee in 1940. This chorus of praise began just as soon as Willlde got out of the 1944 race. People with out an iota of interest in the welfare of the republican party are now crying that it lost its great chance when Willkie was rebuffed and withdrew. From these same sources came, in 1940, some of the most bitter personal attacks ever leveled at a presidential nominee and the butt of those attacks was this same Wendell Willkie. Harry, Of All People ABANDONMENT of strikes as an economic weapon, both in war and afterwards, has been proposed by believe it or not Harry Bridges, head of the CIO longshoremen's union , on the coast. A San Francisco affiliate of Bridges' union favors including this code in all of its contracts, and Bridges has been quoted on the subject of strikes as follows: "We reject any hostility of labor to capital as such, and any hostility to unions as such, know' ing well that such approaches are luxuries that neither can now afford. "We must not throw the burden of post-war employment on our employers. We must work with employers to help obtain more overseas trade for San Francisco. "We're fighting ourselves when we strike these days. Giving up the strike doesn't mean that we arc going to give up the fight to im prove working conditions. It only means we are choosing different weapons." That, from Bridges, is certainly an Indication that the strike is low in public favor, and that it is becoming outmoded as a means of gaining deserved ends for labor. The War Today By DtWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst HITLERDOM'S D-day nerves indeed have reached a sorry state of rawness when a Berlin spokesman bursts out that "Germany would prefer for the invasion to come today rather than tomorrow." Well, that's where the worry belongs with the enemy. We have no cause to fret as a lot of good folk are doing for. allied luck is running strong. Let de fuehrer do the stewing. Of course Germany would like to get it over with. She's not a country waiting with confidence "in her ability to withstand the assault, for the allies out match her every where, and each rising sun sees her weaker. She's just hoping that some lucky break will ease her plight. The strain must be terrific. We had concrete illustration of this again yesterday. The allied air fleets staged huge raids that reached the furthermost points in the perimeter of Hitler's boasted fortress Europe. The nazi cain can no longer find any place in which to hide. - More than 4500 allied warplanes, of which 4000 were American, boldly challenged hostile skies. They hammered the French invasion coast. They streaked clear across Europe to bomb aircraft factories in Poland, and rained destruction on Germany itself. They bombed the lower Danube basin in southeastern Europe, and tore at Austria from the south. It's no longer a question of a "second front," or a third or fourth. Hitler is surrounded, and we are closing in. a a a a Invasion Date THE German press declares there can be no doubt that the original date fixed for in vasion has passed. And that worries them. Possibly there was some change in date. What of it? It would be absurd to think that an absolutely Inflexible date could be fixed months in advance. D-day preliminaries are made up of many elements. There's the Italian offensive, for Instance, where the Ger mans are resisting fiercely but of which our General Mark Clark said in a Memorial Day address at Anzio, we shall take Rome "before many days have passed." There's the pre invasion bombing, and the tremendous over hauling of the vast Russian war-machine. You can't just set D-day like an alarm clock, but that's no cause for us to worry. What we folk on the home-front do have to worry about is whether we are putting everything we have into the war effort. It's the home-front which must supply the wherewithal for the colossal expenditure of resources in the allied assault. That's the thought that comes to me this Memorial Day as we pay tribute to our gal lant dead who have given their all. .
