"HOUSECLEANING" SEEN
The housekeeping" sugges-
ton was interpreted widely as a
threat of expulsion from mem
bership, inaSmuch as the miners
do not choose their officers al

referenda, the next of which
will be he'd in December.
Moreover, Lewis has the con-

 The agency quoted an editorial In the Toulouse Grand Echo Du Midi, a radical and anti-clerical daily, warning that Catholic oppo- sltlon threatens to harm the gov- ernment's efforts for French na- tional recovery and to compromise Frances position in 'New Europe" ]"
 The newspaper purported to ind in church history full support of all measures taken thus far against Jews, including the forced wearing of the yellow star of David. which the publication said can be traced to the council of Latran and St. Thomas. The editorial added that there was a direct connection be- tween the liberation of French war prisoners held by Germany and %~-sanAAns. NAAaA~e at~ A@~~~~~@ ~w

American Red Cross Glamor Battalion
 Finds Tables Are Turned By Doughboys

T often wondered what I'd do if I had 1000 men on my hands" she said. Look at me now. It's not all fun"
 Perhaps the homiest touch in the entire Red Cross setup in Britain is provided by Mrs. Mary Mumford of Stamford Conn, Hniddle-aged and white haired. who served with the Red Cross during the Army's south ern maneuvers.
 Mrs. Mumford has two sons in the Navy, and a third teaches at Mid- dlehurg College in Vermont.
 She is "Mom" to every man who comes into the Washington club.
 T write letters to their mothers telling them their boys are all right, and if they lose all their money or their railroad tickets, they can get some money from me-" she said.
 An American resident of Britain gave her $0O to ''mess around with. !" and she unofacially lends from it to men on leave. They can get up to A@ ~~va ~~ e-~ ~-s---~ eu.ea~ ~-r~ %ser-s

 'The boys here know they feel free to do anything they want" she said. ''If a man comes here on leave, wants relaxation and gets too much to drink, we don't teach him manners or give him lectures. If that happens, and it is bound to. it is our job to take care of him and let him know there's place he can come to find his friends"
 So far. American soldiers have been using Red Cross facilities to the utmost. keeping its billets full, and taking advantage of it's sight seeing tours. free theater tickets and free dances.
 Mrs. Mumford's biggest problem concerns boys who ask her to find out why they don't get mail. One soldier had been receiving cables of coincidence and knew something had happened to his family. But he couldn't hear from his family. Mrs. Mumford found out by cable that ..a- s.as@&a~.~-s a~..~a a1~a

The battle between "The Women" Glare Boothe Luce, world- travelling correspondent and wife of Henry R. Luce, publisher of Life-Time- For tune, and Miss Vivian Kellems, Westport manufacturer, was in the knock 'em- down and drag 'em out stage today, thanks to an announce ment by State Chairman J. Ken- meth Bradley that he favors Mrs. Luce, a resident of Greenwich, for the Republican congressional in the fourth district (Fairfleld County.
 Instead of withdrawing into the factory where she manufactures cable grips, the comedy Miss Kellems came back with a statement in which she tells Mir. Bradley in a ladyike way to mind his own bus mess. In words not so ladylike, she asserts that "the politics of Connec- ticut need a good housecleaning <. and 1t is my avowed purpose to de- vote myself to the task of returning } the Republican party to it's rightful owners, the citizens of Connecticut, and free 1t forever from the domin- ation of Sam Pryor, Wendell Will kie, ct al"
 Miss Kellems declares that MT, Bradley's support for Mrs. Luce is made to "enable Wendell Willkie and Sam Pryor to repay Henry Luce for the thousands which he poured into MT. Willkie's presidential cam paign."
 Mrs. Luce. whose play, "The Wo- man" bitterly satirized her sex, will undoubtedly not be long in making @ retort."
 The latest exchange was touched of when Republican State Chair man J. Kenneth Bradley announced he would support Mrs. Luce,

 The Germans appeared to be on the threshold of the city itself and Berlin reports claimed that their ad- vance guard had reached Stalin- grads western suburbs.

 London doubted that the Nazis actually had reached the Volga both north and south of Stalingrad as was claimed by the usually inac- curte Vichy radio.

 Soon after the navy at Washing ton revealed that the Japanese were making new attempts to land men in the marine area, MacArthur an- ronnced that his ss planes attacked three enemy bases in the northern Solomoas and one on the north coast of New Guinea to the west.
 Australians connected not only these attacks but the persistent United States navy submarine att tacks on Japanese ships in the vest ern Pacific as forming part of one big picture, the desperate attempt of the enemy to hold their grip on their bases northeast of Australia, against relentlessly developing AL lied offensive strategy.
 In their new offensive MacAr- thurs planes were attacking enemy positions in an area of the north ern Solomons 330 miles northwest of the marine positions around

DUTCH HARBOR TO
 GET NEW ATTACK
Military Experts Believe Japan Will Try There
 First Before Siberia
BY sANDOR s. KLEIN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Sept. 4.-(UP)-Mil- itary experts suggested today the possibility of another Japanese att tack on Dutch Harbor, Alaska, as a prelude to an attack on Siberia.
 So long as Dutch Harbor remains an active American base within easy flying distance of the Japanese pos itions in the western Aleutians, they pointed out, Japan's North Pacific Hanks are under constant threat.
 The United Nations for some time have been expecting a Japanese move against the Soviet Union in Siberia.
 There has been no news from the Aleutians since August p, when navy communique reported that an American submarine sank large merchant ship.
 There has been no word of an att tack directly on the enemy occupied islands of the chain since mid Aug ust.
