With German troops reported fighting with 10 to Is miles of Rostov, gateway to the Caucasus oil fields, it was predicted that the great turning point" battle of Southern Russia may bring Great Britain's million-man armies of the Middle East into action.
 London sources forecast freely that if the Germans capture Rostov the green light will be flashed to Gen cral Wave1ls imperial forces to march through Iran and establish a new British fighting front on the Caucasus battle-ground.
 38 Miles from Moscow
 Authoritative sources in London said the German armies on the Cen tral Front still are 38 miles from Moscow at their nearest point, but acknowledged that in the south the Nazis are closing around Rostov and imminently threatening to overrun the entire Donets River industrial basin.
 Advices reaching London said the Germans already have succeeded in knocking most of the basins war foundries out of action with several key points actually in Nazi hands

WASHINGTON-If you gave the average voter three guesses as to who is the most powerful man in the government next to Roosevelt, he would probably name the Vice. President or the Secretary of State or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Not one out of ten would hit the bulls eye by naming the Secre- tary of Commerce.
 Officially the Secretary of Com merce rates next to last in the Cab inet. He sits only one notch higher than the Secretary of Labor But unofficially and actually, this rela- tive obscure Cabinet job rates right next to Roosevelt-all due to the shrewdness of the man who sits in tn Commerce chair-Jesse Holman Jones of Houston, Texas.
 This is all because Jesse, when of fered the job of Commerce Secre- tary, said he would take it only if permitted to remain as Federal Loan Administrator And Roosevelt, thinking Congress would never ap- prove, said Jesse could have both jobs if Congress passed a resolution to that effect.
 And Congress-after some adroit k-slapping by Jesse-immediate- ly passed the resolution. So now he not only sits in the Cabinet, but controls the purse strings of the greatest spending program ever undertaken by any government, in any country, at any time in history
 To get faint idea of Jesse Jones' power, consider the fact that in nor nal times the Securities and Ex- change Commission is busy passing on flotations of stocks and bonds for

Bitter denunciations and denials in the Axis capitals, satisfaction in Great Britain and cautions, official silence in Tokyo were the major re- actions today to President Roose- velt's "the shooting has started" speech last night.
 Informed Germans said the speech would have been funny except for the fact that the Presidents policies may have direct consequences"
 Italian Fascists interpreted the speech to mean conveys, another step toward United States belliger- ency."
 Japan to Study Speech
 A Japanese spokesman said the speech will be studied with inter- est by the Japanese government but neither he nor the Japanese press hazarded guess as to how the new cabinet and Premier Gen. eral Tojo would take the Presidents verbal assault on Hitler, Japan s treaty bound ally.
 The Tokyo newspaper Hochi said President Roosevelt admitted the United States already is in the war without declaration by saying the shooting has started

THERE'S no question about II.
II the eyes are the most inter-

Color and shape contribute TO

Be kind TO your eyes; do not

ONCE upon time. modern
" furniture belonged only in
New York penthouses and Paris
ian palaces. 1t was to be admired
but not owned; ii was wonderful
but not practical. Time has
changed all that.
The modernistic of good taste
and individuality was branded
with a severity of style and
price. Why, the cost looked like
a war debt to us. But time
changed that, too.
Today the layman selects mod
ern TO make his house a home.
It's clean, smart and durable,
but best OF all demands less
space. Moreover, the pieces are
fashioned for versatility OF use.
But that's part of the surprise
we're about TO pop. Perhaps
you've heard of the planned deco
rating schemes - co-ordinating
coiors, furniture and accessories.
Well. for the first time in De-
troit, such a plan has been
worked out in modern period

GateIeq Table

Those of you who prefer col
lapsible dining rooms will favor
the gateleg table. with panel
sides reaching TO the floor. Fully
open, it's almost banquet size,
but closed it takes up just a
foot of floor space and four feet
of wall space.
We can't think OF a better
respecter OF modest incomes.
Newlyweds, who have 10 penny
pinch, will find this the answer
TO their prayers. No temporary
investment is this furniture, for
it's as sturdy as it is handsome.
Now that we Americans are
becoming. more and more, the
homing pigeons that our an
cestorS were, we're bugs on COM

furniture fits into this picture.
