friendship with Russia, Berle was died- in- the-wOOI pessi-. mist.
 But the other day, talking to w. w. Lancaster, attorney for the National City Bank, Berle made a revolutionary admission. Russia. he said, now could be considered the great hope of the world.
 However, the Assistant Secretary of State still retains enough sus- picion of Russian diplomats to give this warning to Lancaster, who is a friend of Soviet Ambas- sador Ounansky:
 'I want you to know" said BerIe, "that we know all about those conversations you're hav- ing with Oumansky."
 NOTE: --Berle is nicknamed the Hap Hopper" of the State De- partment's new detective bureau. JULY PLANE FIGURES
 Preliminary July figures for air. plane production show another backward month, the second since April.
 Total of, military planes pro- duced in July was 1460--a drop of 16 from the June alI- time high of 1476. In May the figure slumped below the April total, which was the record up to then.
 Primary reason for the July de- licately calibrated flying instru- ments. The experts say that actu- ally more planes were turned out in July than June, but without instruments they could not be completed for delivery.
 Various reasons are given for this inStru ment bottleneck; shortage of labor, materials, new designs, lack of tools. The May slamp was charged up to labor troubles. Whatever the reasons, U. s. aircraft production has yet to top the 1500-a-month mark so confidently predicted by OPM mOgulS months ago.
 However, the experts now pro phesy a 1900 output this month"; provided instrument deliveries come through. They base this on

WEBER AND FIELDS.
(New York Tinnes)

The death of Lew Fields last week, after a long absence from theatrical activity, brought vividly to mind the New York of forty years ago, when ''Weber and Fields were the fun-makers for every the- Rtergoer. Older playgoers have only to remember the participation of Peter Daley, David Warfield, Louis Mann and Henry E.

Changing Empire

It has often been noted that South American countries, long noted mostly for production of raw materials for ex- port, have now begun to industrialize and produce their own finished goods. Not SO well known is the fact that this is taking place throughout the whole Brit ish Empire. Canada, Australia, South Africa, India = all of these have devel- oped overnight great industries, course made necessary by the fact that Britain in the throes of war could no longer sup ply them India, which one thinks of as almost unindustrialized, is now produc- ing nearly 90 per cent of it's own war material. All these changes mean a changed world after the war, for inter national trade and inter-dependence will never again be what it once was.

telligence Information.
 White House advisers consider that the two fit together and that the dynamic World War hero has the executive ability and experi- ence to direct both.
 Insiders expect New York's able Little Flower" to quit as GOA as soon as his third term mayoralty campaign gets hot.
 Few now recall that when La- Guardia took the post he said it might be only for 8 short time to get things started. He is amply equipped to run Civil Defense and his choice was widely approved. But the plain fact is that he has, mt the time to give the job what it requires.
 It's full-time work, and then some. LaGuardia has been putting in about enc day a week, and when he is in Washington he works at furious pace. But even with his enormous driving capa- city the job is too vast, it requires a hand at the helm six days and even some nights week.
 While Mayor of New York it is impossible for LaGuardia to devote that much time to Civil Defense. Next to the Presidency, running New York City is the biggest pulp lie post in the country, and the Little Flower" quite rightly, per- mits nothing to interfere with his civic duties. It is unacceptable that Civil Defense should suffer as a result. WEAK ASSISTANCE
 Not helping the situation any has been LaGuardia's choice of assistants.
 Inner Administrationites raised their eyebrows when he installed in Washington as his right-hand aide Thomas SeInmes Walmsley, one-time mayor of New Orleans and foe of Huey Long. Walnlsley is charming and well-intentioned, but what he doesn't know about the problems of civil defense is plenty.
 Also, when LaGuardia took over the agency he announced that state governors would be in charge of civil defense activities locally. This was good strategy to secure state cooperation. But then he turned around and started giving the assignments to mayoral friends about the country, which has irk- ed the governors. Some of them have sent hot protests to the White House.
 Meanwhile some members of a citizens Cooperation Committee that LaGuardia appointed are pri- vately wondering what it is all about. Several weeks ago they. were summoned to Washington for 8 ''cOnference", staged in the White House and attended by Mrs. Roosevelt. The affair was surrounded with deep secrecy, but actually nothing took place and committee members departed for their homes completely mystified. The committee hasn't done thing since.
 STATE DEPARTMENT ON RUSSIA
 The Peace Mobilization pickets who quit their vigil in front of the White House immediately after Hitler invaded Ru-sia, were not the only ones caught short by the war in the east. Equally embarrassed was Assistant Secre- tary of State Adolf Berle.
 The brilliant MT. Berle, who
 was Woodrow Wilson's chief ad-
 wiser on Russia at the Versailles
 conference, has been about the
 bitterest Russian -hater i'm the

 specialized in Russian-haters.

Discloses Weak Points
For a solid week italian General
Ugo Cavallero's forces were said
to have stabbed at the Greek lines
in an effort to feel out weak posi-
tons and not only failed but dis
closed weak points in their own
defenses. In this time the Greeks
said Italian casualties numbered
20 for every one of their own.
A government spokesman said
the four most recent Italian coWa-
ter-attacks were crushed by with
ering artillery and automatic rifle
fire by the Greeks.
At one point where the Italians
attempted to penetrate the Greek
line, he said, the Fascists left be-
hind their dead, wounded, many
prisoners and much war equip
ment. In two days the Greeks
have taken 200 prisoners, he de-
clared.
