AS THE days become colder,
appetites grow larger. But the
hours in the kitchen needn't be
overly long, if you do much of
the meal preparation in the oven
where it need not be watched
every minute.
Baking potatoes is perhaps the
most healthful method of pre-
pairing them, because those elu-
sive minerals and vitamins which
are found right next to the skin
are sealed in. Scrub and bake in
hot oven (450 degrees) until
tender.

WILLKIE AGAIN SHOWS
SPARK OF LEADERSHIP

Wendell L. Willkie, the idol of % ,000,-
900 people during the last presidential
campaign, this week again demonstrated
the sort Of minority leadership many peo-
pie would like to see more of.
Willkie has supported President Roosa-
velt's foreign policies almost to the de
gree of sacrificing his own position in the
public esteem He has done so, we be-
heve, because he sincerely approves Of
these policies We believe he was con-
sciously surrendering his influence over
a certain group of people IN order TO pro-
mote national unity among larger group
during the crisis.
Like Willkie. this newspaper has sup
ported the Presidents foreign policies.
even while condemning his internal poll
tics But we have believed, at times.
that Willkie went too far. Not in en-
dorsing the Presidents actions in the in
ternational field, but in refraining from
criticism at home. Constructive criticism
is the essence of democracy; We believe
it should never be allowed to languish.
On Thursday night, Willkie said a thing
we believe our President should have said
long ago He told gigantic crowd in
New York not to boo the names of Lind
bergh and Wheeler Lets not boo any
American" he said. I'VE come here
men and women Of all faiths and parties,
not to slander our fellow citizens. We
want all of them. We come to promote
unity-not discord. Let's all save our
boos for Hitler
Then followed the criticism which dem
onstrated again that Willkie remains a
national leader. Speaking Of attacks by
Administration spokesmen on those who
disagree with Administration policy, he
said: Il hope that the Administration
will discontinue these constant and bit
ter attacks on individuals, companies and
others who may disagree with it. Democ-
racy should function through orderly
and thoughtful discussion and not
through adolescent name calling"
Let's have more Of the same, Mr.. Will
kie.

Brass Medal for Hitler

If there is one quality in the ex-
ercise of which Adolf Hitler stands
alone, it is brass, effrontery, sheer
impudent persumptuousness. That,
more than any other quality, has
carried him the long way he has
come.
It took brass to claim power in
Germany: it took brass to stage
events like the Reichstag fire. IL
the face of his own books statement
that the bigger the lie, the easier
it is to make people believe it. 1t
took brass to say at time,
This is my last territorial claim IN
Europe" while the maps for the
Polish conquest lay on the table.
It took brass to close 20 years OF
railing at Soviet Russia with pact
of non-aggression, friendship and
close trade relations in 1899. 1t took
brass to invade country after coun-
try, claiming only the wish to
protect them" 1t took brass to re-
verse utterly the Russian policy
after less than two years.
But for sheer impudent effront-
cry. this one wins the brass medal.
It is now revealed that Franz Won
papan, Hitler's ambassador to Tur-
key, approached British diplomats
there with a suggestion that Ger
many and Britain just call the
whole thing off and march togeth-
er in a "holy crusade" on Russia.

CHURCHlLL'S SLAP
At HITLER
(Santa Ana Register)

There is room for concern among those
Americans who are fighting to keep AM
erica for Americans in Prime Minister
Ghurchill's criticism of our senator, Bur-
ton X. Wheeler, for his release of new!
that the United States was about to take
over Iceland. Mr.. Churchill needs to
be told that the United States is not a
dominion of the British empire and that
he is absolutely without any right what
Soyer to say what one of our officials is
to say or do.
It does not matter whether the Amer-
can people agree or disagree with Mr..
Wheeler's non interventionist position,
the cold fact remains that as an Ameri-
can citizen he has the right to say what
he wants to say and to report what he
feels should be reported If there We're
in Washington more men who would tell
the people the facts instead of SO many
of the inner circle who permit facts to
be shrouded in official secrecy, we, as a
people, would be better off under present
conditions We may even have had an
opportunity to block some of the war;
mongering that up to now has probably
gone too far to stop.
Every real American citizen is cogniz-
ant Of the fact that there are certain
army and navy secrets which must be
protected. These citizens are ever ready
and willing to protect them, but military
secrets. the announcement of which could
be detrimental to our land, and military
secrets designed to get us into a war
without our knowledge are by no means
in the same category. They are not bed
partners Mr. Wheeler told us we could
expect a move to be made that would
take us closer to war than any preced-
ing move, and there were plenty which
preceded the Iceland occupation. 1t was
right that he told us.
And what happened when Mr.. Chur-
chill sent his criticism across the Atlan-
tic? President Roosevelts secretary,
Steve Early, took the prime minister's
part and Joined in spanking the Montana
senator. This should be sufficient in
formation to the American people that
their Presidents office is much more IN
terested in the British way than the AM
erican way.
Yesterday Mr.. Wheeler told US that we
can expect coordinated navy with the
British navy fighting in the south Allan
tic and the American navy IN the north
Atlantic We suppose Mr.. Churchill will
not approve of this, but We who are not
accustomed to one-man secret govern
ment through the years will approve 1t.
II that is what is going to take place in
the near future, we should know it. We
should be informed of it through our con-
gress from the White House, but such an
''old-fashioned" way of operating our gov
ernment has been supplanted by the "new
order by the man who said he would
not send our boys outside of the wester
hemisphere and then erased the boundar-
les so there is no other hemisphere.
What we need in this country today is
more Amercanism and less Britishism
1t is our only hope of keeping for the fu'
ture what we have had in the past.

HOLLYWOOD, July 10 Whenever
an actual person, living or dead,
IS to be represented on the screen
and no matter in how honest or
favorable light-studios have
found that it's safer to secure and
pay for signed authorization from
the individual or his heirs.
That brings us to the hero hunt
preliminary to the filming of Ser
geant York. 1t seems that Alvin
York wasn't alone on his epic ad-
venture in the Argonne Forest IN
1913 he was one of a detail of men,
10 Of whom still live. Warner Bro
theirs wanted to be able to identity
those men, SO the company sent its
location manager, Bill Guthrie, TO
find them.
The trip covered more than TO-
900 miles, required weeks of search
ing, and cost as much as the COM
plete production Of some motion
pictures. but I also like the story
for the things that Guthrie found
HULL ON THE LINE
AS a Warm-up chore, he first went
after and signed these men: Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull: Gen
John j. Pershing; E. c. Danforth
Augusta, Ga, insurance man and
formerly York's company command
er; j. NJ. Tillman, Yorks regimen
tai colonel, who now raises oranges
at Lake Wales, Fla: Col. George
Buxton, of Providence, r. L, who
as a major commanded York's bat
talon.
They were a cinch. Guthrie ther
sought York's on commission 6
comrades. He located eX-Priyate
Percy Beardsley cutting wood on 8
farm near Roxbury, Conn, but first
had to state his business to al
aged father. "Perc', said the ole
man, 81 kinda like this feller Fetct
out the pitcher"
So Perc fetched the hard cidel
and the three toasted the old day!
while signing papers. Then Guth,
rie produced $50 as a binder OF
the $3.50 which, he explained, eacf
of the 10 men would receive
Perez com I'm an d G d the eide
Beardsley, fetch out the jug!"
In Boston, Guthrie found Otis Y
MerritheW and in spite of the dif.
ficulty of his search didn't ask why
the ex-corporal's last name appear
as Cutting on army records. Any.
way, he's a city truck driver now
and after staying for dinner in {
happy household the studio repre-
sentative learned MerritheW's $25l

daughters in college.
In Lawrence, Mass, Guthrie ne%t
located Patrick Donohue. No recol-
lectable details. In Holyoke, he

waiting tables.
Into a dingy tenement in Man
hattans Italian quarter went War
ners' agent to see Mario Mussi
now a night Watchman. Received
with suspicion, Guthrie finally wa
able to explain his mission to Mus
sis sister law, who was calico
in from a neighboring flat to serve
as interpreter. The former hero
was alarmed and indignant when he
was offered $50. IT'S something
crooked" he declared. You get
no money for nothing, any time.
The argument took three hours.
