W gardlcSS Of what Mr..
Roosevelt may have told Mr..
Churchill about the state of
American opinion and vice
versa. all the United States
government officials coming
back from London are saying
privately that we viii have 10
get IN this war IN the final ac-
tion Invasion of the continenU
If Britain * 10 win.
Their story is that Britain will
have enough 10 Stalemate the
clash. with what she gets from
us under leaSc-lend. etc, hut
that she viii need our navy and
perhaps army TO clean the
Nazis out in the final phase.
This is NOT entirely a new no.
ZION, hut ii is beng newly en-
phaSlIed in The discussions of
the officials who have been TO
London.
Ia EEP your eye on Social Sc
~ curity Administrators Paul
McNutt in the political picture.
II will not he difficult. Mr.. Nc
Mutt has taken steps 10 save
YOU from strain. Some weeks
back he moved his own pub
llClty man, Jesse Irwin, in over
various other unit publicity
men in his administration,
which covers the social security
board, public health, office of
cducation etc.
The shift has lately been sup
plemented by orders that all
pubtiCity clear through Mr. r.
winLThuS when the social Sc
curitN board announces some
thing, you are apt 10 read. not
that Chairman Altmeyer an
nounceS il, but that Mr.. McNutt
does.
The new arrangement will
provide continuous announce
mentS for McNutt right on up
to the 1914 Democratic conven-
ton.
Only agency in the McNutt
jurisdiction TO escape this COM
preston Of all personalities into
his is the civilian conservation
corps It's leaders have equal
cabinet rating. and thus Will
continue 10 express themselves
in their own names.
THIS new defense theory the
L Russians have developed is
one which may revolutionize
warfare o. although the
United States general staff has
moi yet considered ii in that
light, according to some military
authorities.
The Red scheme may be
called "thc goblet defense. - Lay
thin S1emmed goblet down on
the table and you will get the
idea.
Large armies are left in the
cup part, connected back with
the base line by the stem, main
tanned for communications and
supplies. The Reds have weak
ened their lines 10 let the Ger
mans be drawn in on either
side Of the cup, then the large
force in the cup cuts loose right
and left against the German
TANKS Nothing like il has
ever been done before in war.
That is one reason why prog
ress Of the campaign is almost
impossible 10 follow accurately.
CPUTTERING and Tuning
- around town has been a
Southern Shipbuilder, normally
chivalrouS. but not in this in
stance. He tells how he was
summoned 10 Washington to
talk about a navy contract for
defense. The commercial airline
down South told him all seats
in the plane were taken. hut
that If he could persuade the
wife Of defense official 10 let
him ride in a second section
alone with her. he might be able
10 make the trip.
Why did she have second
section 10 herself? Well. YOU
soc, she was AZ a costume party
and did not want 10 have the
other passengers gaping AZ her.
The airline has given her the
extraordinary courtesy OF a
queen for n single ticket They
like 10 keep in good with the
government.
The Shipbuilder got the lady's
permission. bu, apparently is
not grateful. lie still thinks
his business OF n navy defense
contract was more important.
GONE Scalawag noted that the
y framed portraits Of former
war secretaries had been taken
down m the Munitions Building

lie also noticed that the paint
erS had left behind a warning
sign upon which was printed,
