Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THE two district attorneys Tom Dewey and
Earl Warren appear slated for head of
... . . . . .i r, ,,,,. .il inn .
the repuc-ncan iicicei in uk
Dewey's strengtn in me pn-
marles in all parts oi we na-
tlon mattes ms selection s
residential nominee a near
certainty and the democrats (
are already sniping at him.
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,

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- Since Willkie has withdrawn as a republican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. .

Look, God, I have never spoken
to you,
But now I want to say, how do

' You see, God, they told me You
cudn t exist,
' And like a fool, I believed all
this.
Last night from a shell hole, I
saw Your sky.
I figured right then they had
told me a lie.
Had I taken time to see things
you made,
I'd have known they weren't
calling a spade a spade.
I wonder, God, if You'd shake
my hand.
Somehow, I feel that You will
understand.
Funny I had to come to this hell
ish place,
Before I had time to see Your
face.
Well, I guess there isn't much
more to say,
But I'M sure glad, God, I met
you today.
I guess the "Zero hour" will soon
be here,
But I'm not afraid since I know
. You're near.
The signal! Well, God, I'll have
to go.
I like You lots, this I want you
to know.
Look, now, this will be a hor
rible fight, ...
Who knows, I may come to Your

Though I wasn't friendly to You
before,
I wonder, God, if You'd wait at
Your door.
Look, I'm crying. .Me. Shedding.
