DISABLED VETS HIT LINDBERCH

New Britain, Conn. Nov. 3. - (UP)-A resolution of the executive committee of the Disabled Ameri- can Veterans of the World War to- day condemned Charles A. Lind bergh for !"un-American statements tending to castigate patriotic mi- norities of our great American de- mocracy."
 The resolution declared that "his conduct and attitude in criticizing and embarrassing the president of these United States in these trying times has a tendency to lead out- siders as well as some of our own citizens to believe that the United States Is disorganized and dis- united"
 The committee gay unqualified endorsement to the admanistration's foreign policy.

his ship take it" or he may want to become a fire control man to help her "dish 1t out"
 As Joe will find out very soon after he joins the service, fire con- trol In the navy has nothing to do with controlling fires. It involves control of the ships fire power | e. guns.
 The American navy thinks tand hopes) it has the worlds best fire control system. The mechanics Of the super-delicate, almost human machines which compute gun-set- ting and pointing are among the uavy's most closely guarded se- erets.
 No ship can dish 1t out If her fire misses the enemy. Yet to hit Q zigzagging enemy ships that may be out of sight 10 miles over the horizon, among the factors that must be taken into consideration are: speed and direction of both your ship and enemy ship; wind temperature; number of times gugn has been fired; and humidity to say nothing of the roll of your ship.
 Small wonder that the navy has special schools at Norfolk, Va, and San Diego, Calf, for sea- men applying for fire control posta A chief fire controlman must know principles of electric ity, algebra and trigonometry and have an intimate knowledge of the uses, workings and care of all fire control instruments, He must be able in case of emergency to take over control of the ships vital plotting room or of any sec- ondary battery.
 Chief boatswain's mate must be ready for any emergency. In ordinary tiFnes, the boatswain's mates keep their vessel shipshape and supplied. They take aboard stores and ammunition. They stand watch, keep their ship clean and painted. But it's during an emergency 'that they really show their stuff.
 It might be just splicing-rope, wire or pipe-or repairing brok- deal more. That's why a chief boatswain's mate must know how to carry boats through surf, how to read all storm warnings. how to rig a ship for towing or for oiling at sea. how to lay ships course on a chart how to fix com pass errors and how to steer ship by tide and wind - in case of a damaged rudder.

The other day a man said to me:
I've been watching your column
for several months, and have
noticed that the countries you have
talked about have been getting into
war. Time and again I have OBJ
served that a land you described
would be in. the war news about two
weeks later. Was that an accident
or did you think it would come out
that way?"
In answer I told him I sometimes
try to get ahead of the news, but it
Is more or less of an accident when
a country speak of falls victim to
warfare The best I can do is guess
which way the war is likely to
spread.
Whether anything will happen in
the case Of the Philippines, do
not know. The only thing I can
say is that they are in the way OF
the Japanese, who have been on he
warpath for several years. II is
well known that Japan would like
to have power over the Dutch East
Indies, and the Philippines are
along the route to those islands.
The Philippines are on the east
ern side of the China Sea. The
number of them is 7,083, counting
those which are so small they have
not been named. Two thousand
four hundred and forty-one of the
islands have names.
Even those which have names

Of the lava has been turned into
soil by the work Of the weather, and
there is rich growth of plant life.
Teak, ebony and sandalwood are
obtained from forests of the Philip
pines. The people raise large crops
of many kinds-rice, corn, wheat,
bananas, pineapples, oranges, lem
ons, cotton, tea and coffee. Another
product is Manila hemp. Fibers
from the Manila hemp plant can
be turned into excellent rope.
Gold is one of the metals found
In the Philippines. There also are
mines which produce silver, Lead,
copper, platinum and manganese.
1t may be that Japan has grown
too tired of war to make an attack
on the Philippines. Freedom has
been promised to these islands. but
the United States still owns them
and guards them against invasion.

chances of a spade ruff in the dunn
my. South couldn't find way to
avoid the loss of all four spades, and
his contract went with them.
How about it, bridge sleuths? Did
South lose his contract by natural
means or did he murder it? De-
eide for yourself before you read on.
1t was murder! There was no
reason for South to lose his con-
tract, for correct play would bring it
home without trouble. South should
win the first trick In his own hand
cash the king and ace of diamonds,
and ruff a diamond with a high
trump. Then, and not until then,
Is the time to lead a spade. West
would win and lead a second round
of trumps, which dummy could win
with the eight of hearts. Another
diamond ruff would set up a long
diamond in the dummy, and South
could lead a trump to dummy's
king for entry TO the established
diamond.
The point is not so much that
South must go after the long dia-
monds rather than try to ruff a
spade. Correct play. as described,
allows him to try for both. If the
defenders fail to lead trumps a
spade can be ruffed; if they lead

Drive to Put L. S. Boys in Fight
For Britain Seen by Woodruff

What l am interested In Is
keeping the United States out
of the European war. APP
preciate the fact that Great
Britain il anxious to have us
in the war and that she Is
undoubtedly opposed to my
efforts to keep us out of war,
and having our American
boys slaughtered on the Euro
pean and Asiatic battlefields.
BRITAIN'S SCHEME
"The only reason Great
Britain wanted us to take
over Iceland was to draw us
into the war. The only rea-
son the administration took
over Iceland is because of the
fact that they want to get Us
into a shooting war.
But there will have to be
a hell of a series of incidents
before Congress passes a war
resolution. The American peo-
pie are strongly against par
ticipation in a shooting war
and are becoming more OPP
posed to this every day.

MILITARY SECRET

Wheeler took direct issue with
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early, who told newspaper
men that the senator's state
ment last Thursday that troops
were to be sent to Iceland, ex.
posed a military secret, the re-
suit of which might possibly
have prompted Germany to at
tempt to thwart the move. ever
jeopardizing the American forces
while en- route to Iceland.
Asserting that he would con.
tinue to inform the country
every time he learns Of "a steT
toward war" Wheeler said Of
Early's criticism:
First Of all. my informa-
ton is that we had already
occupied Iceland at the time
/ gave out my statement last
week.
Secondly, 7 believe that
the American people have
right TO know every step that
is being taken by the admin
istratiOn, which intends to
involve us in war.
II appreciate the fact that
the President and his adj
Nisors feel that the American
people should permit him to
decide the question Of peace
or war, but I heartily disap-
prove of this philosophy Of
government, and in this ! am
supported by the people who
drafted the Constitution of

"By ordering American
