 The big four-motored bomber came out of the sky and made a perfect landing after an unheralded flight to this big base.

Wilbur Glenn VoIiva, Self Styled Prophet of Zion
 City, Passes Away

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 12.-Wilbur Glenn Voliva, self-styled prophet and religious sect leader who once pictured the world as a giant pam cake that was doomed to sud- den and drastic end, died in the Billings Memorial Hospital Sunday night after a short illness. He was 72 years of age.
 For more than 20 years Wilbur Glenn Voliva ruled over a strange religious empire
 Then foes turned upon him, de- feated his political candidates at the polls, tried to throw him in bankruptcy and brought about reorganization of the industrial system of his city and cult. Zion, a little village of 5000 persons tucked between subdivi- sions on Lake Michigan's shore north of Chicago, was his seat of government.

London Express Admits Superiority of Amer

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Friday's pun ishing raid on Lille by big Ameri- can four-motored Flying Fortresses and Liberators which cost the Ma zis at least 105 fighter planes de- stroyed or damaged was "vindica- ton" of American aircraft en- gineering, the London Express de- clares.
 The Express, whose air corres- pondents have been most doubtful as to the ability of US. heavy bombers to carry out day raids said in an editorial, there has been some criticism of American designers, who, in producing Fort resses sacrificed bomb load capac- ity for. gun power and armor. This Lille triumph is a vindication of their policy and an answer to their critics"

MOSCOW, Oct. 12. - The R d army dashed out at the Germans and gained ground northwest of the city of Stalingrad and in the Caucasus as the third day of the latest bloody and destructive Ger man assault within the city was confined to artillery and mortar attacks.
 A Soviet communique said that after throwing 1000 Nazi troops to their deaths in furious seven week effort to take the city, the Germans have abandoned at least temporarily the costly plan of storming the city in favor of ar tillery and air assaults.
 Dispatches indicated that with the pressure off Stalingrad, Red army attachments have attacked in the battle area northwest of the city between the Volga and Don rivers and have captured "ad- vantageous positions"
 The communique also said that in the immediate Stalingrad area. artillery and mortar duels con- tinue."

The W ashingtun Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON-Few people, even inside the government, realize the extent to which telephone wires are tapped today. The good old days when wire-tapping was done only by big time gangsters are gone, and al- most no telephone line around Washington is safe today.
 Even the private wire from Sec retary of State Hull to the President of the United States was found to have been tapped some time ago by an unfriendly newspaper.
 The FBI, which has been doing the job of chasing down criminals for years, is scrupulously careful about wire tapping But with out fits like Naval Intelligence or Mili- tary Intelligence, which suddenly have come into lush funds and have inexperienced men spending them, it is different matter.
 Latest wire-tapping development is the system of tapping the wires of army and navy officers by the army and navy itself. In some offices it seems to be common custom to take down wax transcript of tele phone conversations of officers, not because they suspect them of dis loyalty, but in order to check on all transactions.
 For instance, here is the tram scription of dictaphone recording in the Navy Department of con- versation on May 26, 1942, between Captain John D. Crecca of the Bos- ton Navy Yard, and Commander E. E. Roth of the Bureau of Ships in Washington, regarding tank landing boats.

Because of anti-British remarks ascribed to Theodore Dreiser. well-known writer and lecturer, Canada has forbidden Dreiser from making any public state- ments or speeches in that coun- try. Dreiser was scheduled to speak in Toronto. In an inter- view he said that he would rather see the Germans in England than the "aristocratic, horse-riding snobs" who, he said, are running England now. Dreiser also was quoted as saying: Churchill has no intention of opening a second front. He's afraid the Commit nists will rule the world, so he does nothing but send thousands of Canadians to be slaughtered at
 Dieppe."

HIGGINS LANDING BOATS

The conversation shows that the navy finally yielded to Andrew J Higgins of New orleans, who had a long controversy with the Bureau of Ships over the design of tank landing boats. The Bureau of Ships had designed its own boat, called the Bureau tank lighter which Higgins claimed was not practicable, and the two designs were tried out at Norfolk, Va, on May 25. Here is an excerpt from their conversation:
 CAPTAIN CRECCA Gin Boston, :: We just got some disconcerting in formation regarding possible change in the design of the tank lighters.
 COMMANDER ROTH Gin Wash ington): Possible-its a sure thing.

WASHINGTON, oct 12. - There probably isn't lad going off to the wars these days who isn't pack ing something or using something that was made in this country's prisons.
 Already more than 100 prisons (and at least one in each of the AS States) are going all out on war materials. Prison farms and dairies are contributing to the food pro- duction program. Prison shops and machines are turning out hundreds of articles that go into the sinews of war: tent stakes, camouflage clcth, airplane casting, bomb parts, ammunition boxes, tool chests, and what not.
