industrial strength. In spite of much high talk, nobody knows positively whether German conquests and bombing have left the U.S.SR. enough raw materials, factories and tools to turn out equipment for a powerful offensive, or even for a protracted defensive. The Russians just aren't answering that one.
 They say that September produc- tion "beat August" and broke the record" but don't specify what record, or how much was done in August. This doesn't help their Allies estimates when or whether Hitler may turn on Britain and it's budding A.E.F. We are running con- voys through the Murmansk- Archangel gantlet at a cost far heavier than on the Persian Gulf route where ports, railways and op- eration need improvement and ship turnaround needs speeding up. Such improvements are vitally important to solve the imminent third mys- tarv

help solve them. And whatever is said today, officially or unoficially, nobody knows the real answers.
 FIRST MYSTERY is the Nad air strength. Nobody really knows whether the Luftwaffe can simulta- neously fight, little or a lot. in Russia and the Near East, and blitz Britain by bombing, or cover an in vasion. Goering has just said it could not-but did Goering tell the truth, and if so, for how long?
 American efforts are intensified to build up air strength, not only in Britain and the Near East, but in Russia. Japanese occupation of some of the Aleutian Islands failed to stop this.
 SECOND MYSTERY Is Russia s

We can make the equipment for them if, as now seems likely, we put into effect the industrial mobil- ization plan worked out in peace tmie by our Army but hitherto adopted only by the Nazis. SUPPLY PROBLEM
 BIGGEST DIFFICULTY
 Here is a bigger "if": A great expeditionary army will be effective only if we can supply the equip- ment at the point of contact with the enemy-which means we need ships and crews.
 If we can do it, then in 1943 the war will enter a new phase. Then Hitler will be fighting at least two-front war with one-front army and air force. That phase will be the American phase.
 It will last probably two years, but some not exactly feather brained observers believe it will be the winning phase. Today they be- lieve we are just getting our firse glimpse of it-dim, but of the shape of things to come.

ing over Suez. If he succeeds. then Germany has a real success this year; if he fails, then next year the strategic initiative passes to us.
 Already Rommel has met US. tanks which he admits are good. Some had American crews. So have the American planes which, always improving in quality and numbers, fly across the South At lantic and Africa.
 And tanks and planes are not all. Few Americans understand how nearly the Near East is a major second front" where an A. lied offensive would directly support Russia and might reconquer the Balkans and eventually free Italy In that Allied offensive, more than tanks, planes and their crews would be American.
 Suppose a favorable solution can be found for the three mysteries then what? By sometime next year we may have abroad 4,00o,0 900 men l almost twice as many as in 1913

THIRD MYSTERY is who will at- tack first in the Near East, and who will win? Hitler's speech and Rom mers interview indicate it may be the Axis. The more optimistic view here is that once again Russia has spelled doom to an invader. octo- ber-November rains and December frosts fix Nal limits this year at a virtual stalemate at Stalingrad and the possible German capture of Astrakhan. The optimists think that Germany's failure to win the Russian campaign means eventual failure to win the war. However, more cautious minds are inclined to await the outcome of develop ments in the Near East.

 TO ATTEMPT BLOW
 The Nazis may swing their mass of maneuver south at Egypt, Iraq, Iran. even Turkey, hoping to real ize the old Berlin-Bagdad dream The blow would fall perhaps from Greece, surely from Rommel, loom'

COLUMBUS DAY

In fourteen hundred and ninety two Columbus sailed the ocean blue, In the early dawn of August third 1492 Four hundred and fifty years have passed Since a great new world was found at last Four voyages in all 'tis said he made To this great land of ours, place of freedom and good will, And land of verdant flowers Week after week passed slowly by With no sight of any land, But finally in the very dim distance, Columbus saw light flare up, To the dscontented crew this scene was grand. host of wild and naked savages Looked on with awe and wonder, As the admiral landed with most Of his men, And drawing his sword took formal possession, In the name of Ferdinand and Isabella. Thus passed the immortal deeds or the greatest of all the naYigators The world has ever known. In the garden of his memory There1l Do no noxicus weeds. .

Never Lost Faith in
Husbands S Rescue
Admits, However, She
Had Worried q Little
In Lost Few Days
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Mrs
Eddie Rickenbacker said today she
never lost, faith that her famous
aviator husband would be rescued
after his war mission plane was re-
ported missing in the Pacific three
weeks ago.
II never lost faith and knew that
he would be rescued" she declared,
smiling joyfully over news of Capt.
Rickenbacker's rescue by a Navy
Catalina flying boat.
Il was worried a little in the last
few days." she admitted, because
he might be exposed to the winds
and the sun and I was worried
about his physical condition"
The Navy announced that the
52-year-old World War ace had
been found in good condition.
Notified by Gen. Arnold.
When Capt. Rickenbacker first
was reported missing, his wife had
declared:
Eddie will turn up. He's too old
hand to get lost in any airplane
now"
Attired in blue dress, mink coat
and pink velvet hat. Mrs. Ricken-
backer told how 1t. Gen. H. H.
Arnold, commander of the Army
Air Forces. telephoned her from
Washington before the Navy re-
leased news Of her husbands rescue
To Gen. Arnold, the flyers wife
breathed God bless you" Then
she telephoned her husband S
mother in Berkeley, Calf, and sent
| kilograms to her sons, David, ID, at
the Admiral Farragut School, Toms
River, N. j., and William, IA, at
the Asheville School for Boys, Ashe-
vile, N. c.
Sons Also Confident of Rescue.
"My boys felt the same as I did,
the flyers wife said. They always
had faith and knew that he woulc
be found"
Mrs. Rickenbacker expressed fer.
vent thanks for the "resourceful.
ness of the rescuers and the pray.
ers OF thousands of friends.
Il can't speak too highly of tn,
wonderful cooperation of the Arm,
and Navy she said, land wish
