 Eddie Bowling, the star of 'aTime of Your Life," and other plays is an intimate of the President. Not long ago Eddie brought some Broad way entertainers to amIse White House guests, Among the stars was Giovanni, the delightful pickpocket M. Giovanni as almost any Broad wayfarer can assure you, is so good at htS business he can remove your vest without your suSpecting it .. .. At any rate, the President was vastly amused. He suggested that Giovanni get the gun from a White House guards holster {. But every time Giovanni approached the Secret Service man-the latter backed away, saying: "Nh nh. Not me please" When FDR later asked Bowling: ''Did he get that guards gun, yet?" Eddie explained how the guard was hep to matters and wouldn't be sociable <. If you engaged him In conversation, MT. President" suggested Eddie, Giovanni would have his gun in four secondsp DO you know" whispered MT. Roosevelt, "that even the President of the United States hasn't the authority to get that man away from that door?"

Here - significant perhaps be- cause of emphasis on AneTica's role and lacking any concrete hope of peace in 1942 - are their answers the six principal puzzles that may be solved in the third year of war: I.
 How far and how fast will the United States go to defeat NaAsm?
 Probably no other imaginable de- yelopment (regardless of its actual effect on the struggle) has attracted as much attention as the possibility of American entry into the war to back up President Roosevelt's declar- ation that Nazisrn must be crushed. Great Britain's leaders already are openly pressing the issue and arguing that the mere psychological effect as well as probable produc- tion speed up would go far toward early victory. The Axis Powers, too, have acknowledged this effect by telling their people that the United States already is in the war and thus seeking to discount an actual declaration.
 But most important in the com ing year is the question of American production. Nazis still contend thai the resources of America cannot ar. rive in time to alter the course o1 European history but they are pre- pairing for 8 long war, if necessary London and Moscow emphasize the need for speed and more speed. The next six months, they say, may te the turning point. Winter will come to the aid of the still unhroken Red Army and the course of the conflict may turn on whether the Allies car seize the initiative from Germany by spring. But they can do it only with American materials, they ad- init.
 Can Germany break the Red Army and invade England?
 In the next six weeks, perhaps sooner, the autumn rains and then the freezing winds and srlows from Siberia will begin to sweep across a great part of the eastern front, even as far south as the northern Ukraine. The weather will not de- feat the German army or its Finnish Allies, but 1t will redouble their diff faculties and paralyze them for long periods on many fighting sectors. II may provide the opportunity for the Red Army to stop or push back the Germans or to concentrate greater defensive strength before the vital Russian war industries in the rmilder south.
 Hitler had to gamble on destroy ing the Red Army this summer. His whole military strategy has been di- | rected to that end rather than to seizure of territory. Failure might not be a fatal blow. But if he suc- ceeds, Germany can turn back te the west next spring prepared for the invasion of England or strike from distant bases at the strategic links in the British empire or face with vast resources a long wal against any Axis foe.
 III.
 Will Japan fight for the Axis irI the Far East?
 Hitler extended the Axis to Tokyo in an effort to keep the United States busy in the Pacific. to reduce American aid to Britain in the bat tie of the Atlantic and to hinder American war shipments to the Axis foes. Japan bound herself, however only to the extent that seemed like ly to aid her own expansion in the Far East. Thus Tokyo will be guid- ed by the trend of war in Europe; will try to pick the winner.
 The risk here is in guessing right

museum, where in picture. exhibits
and maps is recorded the history
OF the building Of an empire-the
vast American Empire of the
Southwest.
From the top Of the monument
one can look miles and miles away
over the fabulous land Of cotton,

war on a dictator. The story OF

Once Texan colonists were happy

state Of Mexico. the stone letters
tell me. The early policy of Mex
Eco toward the colonists had been

Anglo-Americans and Mexico was
cordial. But following a series of
revolutions begun in 1929 unscru-
