. SHIN GTON :

WASHIN GTON - Vice
President Gamers star is
shining more brightly in the
presidential skies than ever
before. His friends are now
predicting that he will be
nominated on the first ballot
at Chicago - the Democratic
Moguls' tentative choice for
their 1910 political site.
Only President Roosevelt stands
between the nomination and the
Texan. according to the latters
friends. Although FDR may not
be able to control the convention
for himself, it is conceded that ne
can exert an effective veto power
on anybody else. Tommie Corcoran
has peddled word that Roosevelt
will not agree to Gamers nomi-
nation. But the VP's campaign
managers, including persons ex-
tremely close to the White House,
have made a careful check. They
report that the president mas
never expressed any antipathy to-
ward his No. mans candidacy.
So the Garner people are proceed
ing on the assumption that they
will have White House backing In
the showdown
The relations between the two
most distinguished democrats did
reach a breaking point during the
souabble over domestic issues
the CLOS sitdowp strikes, expen-
ditures which the v.p. regarded as
excessive, supreme court reorgani-
cation. But Garner has taken COM
mand Of the fight for neutrality
revision, suggested amendments
making it more palatable to at
least 20 senate members almost
ready to bolt the White House, and
the president is grateful.
President Roosevelt's decision to
depend on seasoned parliamenta-
rians like the vice president and
Jimmie Byrnes in the neutrality
battle is paying rich dividends. 1t
was Jack and Jimmie who FUR
nished the formula resolving sen
atorial doubts about the provisions
permitting so-day credits and drlv-
ing American shipping from the
seas.

for development of an outdoor

executed, with extraordinarily
small losses.
Gamelin's Strategy
Then, when the Germans retail
ate, they find In extreme outpost
lines only small parties of deter
mined machine-gunners, who in
fict as heavy losses as possible,
then retire.
This Is the outstanding feature
I have noticed, which differs from
World war tactics.
According to reports. Gamelin
has inflicted losses upon the enemy
out Of all proportion to his ex-
penditure OF lives and munitions.
