washington, Dec. li-The Japa- llese leaders who decided to attack the United States are not quite the mad-men some Americans would have us believe, They are takers of calculated risks, as all who wage war must be.
 And while our leaders and our people believe lust for the treasures of Asia has made them risk too much and calculate too little, yet they have calculated.
 We can upset those calculations only if we drop now the great Amer ican sport of wishful thinking and take q look at the cards. It requires no card expert to fathoin japan's game. She counts on striking quick, hard blows to win a short, fierce war. And she leads with wars most dc. Ifloralizlng weapon-surprise, backed by It's toughest--expeFience.
 Tn that hardest, best school were taught her seamen who approached Hawai-, her airmen who bombed 1t, despite our aavy's off-shore patrol and our arrlys defenses; f1er soldiers who have invaded the Philippines and are attacking Malaya.

 Of the British in the Far East including Canadians and Australians almost none has heard a shot fired in anger. BritainB East Indian and Indian armies, totaling 6 million, comyrige diverse and sometimes fnus tually hostile races and religions, mostly crude farmers, inexperienced in mechanics.

Stephen Kieras, SS, Found By Friend Yesterday in
 South Britain Home

South Britain, December ii. - Stephen Kieras, 36, known to pro- fesisonal boxing circles as Steve Lawrence, was found by Q friend, William Marler, dead of severe body burns at his homo in Lakeside where he lived alone yesterday morning
 state Troopers John Dunphy of Waterbury and Samuel Rome believe death was accidental. pr. Harold II. Traver of Woodbury and Medical Examiner Samuel Green of South- bury reported the man had been dead about eight hours when the body was discovered.
 The deceased, Q mason by trade, came from here from Seymour. He is survived by his mother in Sey- inour; three sisters, Mrs. Thomas Doll, and Mrs. John Farley, both of Seymour, and another in New Ha- ven; and brother, Frank, of Sey- moifr.
 State police said apparently KieraS was cleaning an oil stove when he spilled keroSent on his clothing which caught afire. He then, they believe, ran outdoors, stripping off his flaming clothes. Later he apparently went upstairs and wrapped himself in Q quilt and died soon after in bed. There is no phone in his home and no near houses where he could get help. He suffered second and thirN de- gree burns and probable shock which led to death, police said.
 Burned clothing was found out- side the house and in the kitchen. The oil bottle on the stove was empty.
