LINDBERGH'S HOME

If you will turn to page 1896 of the current (1940-4D issue of Who's Who, you will find very Illuminating commentary on Charles A. Lindbergh.
 AS leading champion of iso- lationism, the principal tenet of the ex-air hero is love of the U.S.A. America First is the sym- bol and dogma of his political credo. In his recent Fort Wayne. Ind. speech he declared, T have no motive in mind other than the welfare of my country and my civilization" But on page 1896 of Who's Who Lidnbergh's self-pen- ned biography tells a different story.
 This is what he says: Home, Illiece Island, Penvenan, France!
 Illiece Island is in Nazi-occupi ed France. Nearby is an island belonging to Dr. Alexis Carrel, with whom Lindbergh collaborat ed in making their so-called mechanical heart. Carrel is now in occupied France and is working in cooperation with the Petain  government which is playing glove with the Nazis.
 Lindbergh has not been abroad since he returned in 1889. Why he still gives the little island in Nazi-controlled France as his ''home' even at this late date is not explained in the biography in which he carefully lists all his achievements and decorations except the one presented him by Hitler.
 Note - Several days prior to Lindbergh's Fort Wayne speech, Berlin shortWave broadcasts to the U. s. were devoted almost en tirely to attacks on Roosevelt as a dictator, and charges that free speech and free press were dis appearing in this country. Theme of Lindbergh's speech was that the President was assuming dic- tatorial powers and was secretly planning to call off the 1922 el- ections.

IVA FIGHT

Real inside behind that Gen. eral Accounting Office blast ag- ainst the National Youth Admin istration was an internal row between the Investigating and accounting division of the GAO.
 The gum-shoers are under fire as ineffiient and high-handed, so to make splash and divert cri- ticism from themselves they heaVed a load of brickbats at IVA charging it was baking Army recruiting. The real facts are that IVA Administrator Aubrey Williams was bitterly as sailed by the leftist National Youth Congress because he CO., operated with the Army and Navy to encourage IVA students to enlist in the armed forces.
 Another inside detail of the hostile report was that it was issued without having been read by Comptroller General Lindsay Warren, who is an old friend of Williams and strong IVA sup porter when he was a congress man from North Carolina.
 NOTE - Insiders predict an early consolidation of IVA and CCC under a single head. Fed eral Security Administrator Paul McNutt titular boss of the two agencies, favorS this move.

WASHINGTON - An armor- ed tank carried under an air plane as an eagle carries prey left the realm of fancy and be- came stark reality when the Ger mans produced this fearful nov e,ty in the invasion of Crete. Now it is about to become a reality in the United States.
 In Brooklyn, New York, a me- chanism is being built for the hook -on" and release" where by a tank is attached under the fuselage of the plane, and releas- ed as the plane lands.
 The tanks crew of three rides in the tank as it is borne aloft, and when the plane lands, the tank driver operates the release mechanism. Free of the plane, the tank (ight type of 1012 tons) operates independently, with a cruising radius of 300 miles.
 This mechanism is being devel oped by the Armored Tank Cor poration of New York. It is de- signed to be attached to a certain type of large transport plane all ready in production.

CHINA WANTS BOMBERS

Not many people know it but the Chinese Government is hav- ing such tough time getting war materials from the U. s. A. that Generalissimo Chiang Kai- Shek has retained the famous ex- brain truster Tom Corcoran to dc little lobbying with the White House.
 What Chiang Kai-Shek especi- ally wants is long range bomb CTS. His idea is that China cannot remain on the defensive indefin- itely, and he proposes sending flying fortresses over Tokyo and Osaka, whose paper and bamboo houses would go up in smoke if subjected to bombing raids.
 Chiang Kai-Shek claims that this type of offensive would make the Japanese think twice regarding their revived plans tc drive into Thailand toward Sings pore.
 However there is only one place where China can get the bombers, and so far not even Tom Corcoran who once sat al the right hand of the President has been able to pry them loose The man who has blocked the bombers happens to be Harry Hopkins, one-time partner anc mentor of Corcoran.
 Hopkins argues that big bomt CTS should go to Britain and Ru: sia first. This has focused atten. tion upon a wide rift among Roosevelt advisers over help tc China or appeasing Japan.
 So far Roosevelt has followed { middle course by continuing { certain amount of aid to Chins but still flirting with Japan - even though Japan recently re. affirmed her partnership in the Axis.

A Way Out For Japan

Led by a powerful military regime that dominated the coun- try Japan found an excuse in the name of emergency to ravish a great portion of China and seek control of the Orient. Flushed with promises of European col Liberation, the same leaders join ed up with the Axis powers and sought the conquest of the Far East.
 All went well until Russia slowed down the German mo- rnentum and Britain, America, Dutch East Indies, China and Soviet forces of Siberia loomed on the horizon in virtual encircle Inent of the Nipponese.
 Then came the murmurings of conservative elements of Japan already war-weary and objecting to invite impending disaster. Many clamored for peace. But Japan had face to save. But how could she do it. The conservative Japanese press frankly admitted it behooved Jaauan to listen to the counsel of Americas Presi- dent for peace in the Pacific.
 How could apan cut away from her Axis partners when the gov ernment had pact with Hitler and Mussolini. The answer was an ace card in the hole, held by the Emperor.
 Traditionally the direct de- scendant from Heaven and ven erated by the Japanese masses as theson of God. the Emperor, in their eyes, can do no wrong. Tax ing the issue out of the hands of the militarists and the conserV- atives he an ignore any commit ments of the military caste and save Japan. Certain astute au- thorities believe that is exactly what he is doing.
 Judging by the subsistence of apan war feor and her failure to defy Russia or Britain, Japan now apparently Is finding way out under the adroit guidance oi the Emperor.
 The way is open. If accepted apan may emerge secure with 6 part of her conquered territory If not she faces disaster.
 The longer she defers aiding the Axis powers the more likely is she to accept the policy that will assure peace in the Pacific and her status among the powers Will she choose eclipse or a pace in the sun?

British Food Chief Tells Of Reliance on U. s.

LONDON, Oct. - Food Minis ter Lord Woolton told the House of Lords that increased produc- tion of so called balancing items on the part of American farmers would be necessary ito hold the lines of defense against starvation" Woolton said the sup ply of such foods already was in- creasing. He declared that the big stock of bulky storage foods no won hand in Britain furnish ed ample evidence that the Royal Navy is slowly but surely win ming the battle of the Atlantic.
 The food minister said that the British government has inform ed United States lend-lease offic- ials that it would require about 25 percent more of such supplies as canned and dried milk, canned meats, butter, eggs, and canned fruits from the United States.
 As a result, Lord Wolton said, it was possible for his ministry recently to give the people a more encouraging outlook on the fod situation for the coming win ter. This was made, he said. on the expectation that these food stuffs from the United States would be delivered.

Admissions to tubercu- ioeis institutions from this city climbed from 53 two years ago, to o4 in i940. The increase was as- scribNd to the defense boom, a phenomenon, the speaker said, which is not uncommon.
 pr. Phelps also revealed that of IAOOO men examined for army service, nearly one per cent had showed symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis.
