NEW IMPRESSIONS

Washington newsmen, after see
ing Roosevelt twice a week for eight
years, have only dull impressions
when they walk into a press confer
ence. A fresh impression comes
from Jack Mof1tt, ace Hollywood
reporter, who saw the President the
other day for the first time.
"There was charm in the setting"
Moffitt said. ''The mementoes on
his desk indicate a man of magma
ton who can extract pleasant men,
cries from past experiences
He costumes well. Hoover's choker
collar became a symbol of Tory
America. Coolidge dressed like a
small town banker. Roosevelt
avoids the foppish, but hits a GER
tain suburban ease in his dress
which sells quickly to the public.
''He was impressive in handling
himself. There was ease and frank
ness, and a quickness in response
to questions. He was at all times
master of the interview.
81 was struck by his paleness and
the lines in his face, contradicting
the smirk I've seen in a thousand
cartoons. If I were a casting di-
rector, looking for an actor for this
part, I'd cast him as man who is
working hard under great strain"

WINTER PLANS
Washington, d. C.

AS far as can be ascertained, the
most important point under dis
cussion between Hitler and Musso-
lini during their recent visit to the
Russian battle lines was a plan by
which Italian troops would hold
down sizeable portion of the Ger
man front during the Russian winter
stalemate.
Naturally, no one outside the
FaScist-NaZi high command really
knows the details of what happened.
However, Mussolini squawked so
loudly over Hitler's demands, that
their general nature leaked out in
Rome-where a lot of army leaders
are none too friendly to the Axis.
Hitler's theory, bluntly put, was
that the Italians were no good as
fighters; SO during the winter months
when there was no fighting to be
done, they could move into the
trenches and protect the German
lines.
Then Hitler could ship his troops
down to Africa, and could clean up
the whole of North Africa before
spring and good fighting weather re-
turned to Russia. Hitler figured
that during the winter he could take
over all of French North Africa,
Egypt and the Suez canal, then pene-
trate to Dakar-from which he
would have a base against South
America.
1t has long been known that Hitler
realizes he has to move fast in At
RIGA and the South Atlantic, or the
United States will be strong enough
to block him.
Mussolini's reaction to this plan
was anything but enthusiastic.
Aside from the ignominy of with
drawing from Italy's proposed field
of conquest-Africa-n Duce argued
that Italian troops could not stand
Russian winters. They would die of
pneumonia in such a rigorous eli
mate.
Whether Mussolini finally agreed
is not known.
Note: The Nazi plan apparently
is to put $50, 900 Hungarian troops In
the Russian trenches during the
winter; plus 1000 Rumanians; plus
about $4,000 Slovaks and about $780,
600 Italians. The German army
during the winter would be reduced
to mere skeleton of about 100, 900
men.

UNDER WAR SECRETARY

Newsmen sat three deep around
long polished table in the new war
department building. They fired
questions at the man with a sun
tanned face sitting at the head of
the table. He was the under secre-
tary of war.
What's a T-6 tank like? Are
Ms tanks available for the maneu-
vers? Did the French find the
rs nm. tank gun effective?
What is the altitude range of the 90
nm. anti-aircraft gun? Is the
army in Iceland? What do you
think about the Russian resistance?
He ducked the last two questions,
but answered all the technical ques-
tions with the assurance of a soldier
trained all his life in ordnance.
But he isn't lifelong soldier. He
is a lawyer, an ex-circuit court
judge, who scarcely year ago was
concerned with such non-military
subjects as the reorganization of the
New York subway.
This was a press conference with
the under secretary of war, Robert
P. Patterson. A judge in 1910, he
is a soldier in 1941, with complete
grasp of the technical information
of his Job.
