 Four enemy tanks. twelve troop trucks and five guns are reported to have been smashed by Soviet artillery fire.

President Addressing Par. Iiament Says Nation to

' ANKARA, Turkey, Nov. 2.--With bitter battles swirling north and south of her, Turkey stood ready to stop the danger of attack before a sober warning uttered by President Inonu in his annual Presidential ad- dress at the opening of Parliament's winter session.
 No names were mentioned. but the President declared. Turkey Is closer to war today than at any time since the world conflict started"
 In what is interpreted apparently as a reference to the Axis, Inonu said, with the war spread over every d,14rter of tlIe globe, one begins to understand that political institutions founded upon domination of one single power, cannot be maintained. .'
 He said Turkey will remain loyal to her Allies.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON fMa,or Robert s. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON = Those around the White House familiar with the report which Wendell Willkie gave to the President, and with the re- ports sent home by US. Ambassa- dors. are unanimous in their praise of his diplomatic accomplishments.
 Unquestionably Willkie very much improved US. relations with China, stiffened the Turks. and soothed Russian feelings which were Just about at the boiling point.
 US. officials reported that Will kie worked at his job night ana day, beginning at am. frequently not quitting until 9 am. Some times he faced some very tough criticism from the top men he visited. especially the Russians.
 One of the most important points which Stalin drove home to Will kie was that President Roosevelt was not running the war; but was letting Churchill do 1t. Stalin said that as far as Russia was con- cerned it would be, quite content with Roosevelt's leadership and judgment on military matters.
 However, Stalin was convinced that Roosevelt continually bowed to Churchill.
 The Russians. including Stalin. made no attempt to hide their bit terness toward Churchill. Appar- ently there was almost nothing about Churchill's visit to Moscow last summer that was success. And although Stalin himself did not mention it, one of the things which got Churchill most in wrong with the Russians was wearing ms siren suit" to the Kremlin.
 This is the overall suit wnicn Churchill and Roosevelt experi- mented with when Churchill came to Washington just after Pearl Harbor. It is a sort of teddy bear contraction which is dipped on over everything else when the siren sounds for an air raid. Churchill wore this instead of formal attire, when he went to the Kremlin of- icoptinned on Page Four)

Twill of fthe People"
 Is Given Reflection
 On Legislative Aets
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-If there is any doubt what influence the will of the people" exercises on legislation, just recall the Senate action on the anti-inflation bill.
 In spite of the Presidents ulti- matum that some satisfactory anti imitation legislation would have to be passed immediately, the Senate farm bloc was in the saddle.
 In the early days of the battle, it appeared that the farm bloc, with it's Thomas amendment ordering a redefinition of parity prices, couldn't be defeated.
 Then on a single weekend the farm bloc balloon collapsed. The so-called compromise" amendment was passed with only four dissenting votes and the original limitation bill sponsored by Administration legislators, was voted unanimously -82 to 0.
 Back of this is another one of those heartening stories of the tri- umph of our democratic system. It is as cumbersome as an ox-cart on a superhighway. Often 1t appears just about that ridiculous But when ever it tangles with any subject that arouses the real interest or ire of the public, it whips into line with the speed and driyesof modern tank
 AS matter of fact, the farm bloc fight collapsed even before the fav- orable vote on the Thomas parity amendment. The vote was for the record" in print that the Senators who have to face their farm constituents had done their best.
 Proponents of the amendment knew already that they were beat en. Why? Because the mail bags day after day gave proof of two things: CD That the public in gen. eral was almost four-square back of the President in demanding legisla- tion that would halt the spiraling cost of living; CD That the farmers themselves weren't "het up" about a redefinition of parity. One of the big four farm organizations was, in fact, fighting with the Administra- tion
 Sitting here in Washington, watch ing the often tedious, day-to-day, our.after-hour maneuvering, the cloakroom and for -the-record" pol ticking, it's easy to lose sight of the effectiveness of that intangible something called public demand" " But old timers here, hashing over the Senate anti-inflation battle are saying times since this national emergency arose: Never before has public opinion been so quickly ef- fective in ran m ng legislation through.
 Actually, the anti-inflation scrap

Nellie won't have a professional

La Cava, who wrote this movie
and also is directing it, thought
he'd hire a regular movie cowboy,
maybe even Gene Autry. There are
two men after Irene Dunne's hand:
The usual hero and show-of cow

who never does anything right. But
La Cava realized that neither Autry
nor any other cinematic -cowhand
would stand for burlesquing him.

"And So" said Bellamy, strum-

The reputation for being a pro-
fessional goof started when Ralph,
by one of those fortunate casting
quirks, became Irene Dunne's cow
boy suitor in 1.-THE Awful Truth"
Up to then he had been doing con-
ventional leads, but like every actor
he was ambitious to play "charac-

which is neither healthful nor
happy, Bette asserts. The habit, for
example, of tossing the dog q few
scraps from the table, or of filling
his dish with the cheapest ham
burger the butcher has will never
result in raising a sound dog.
Certain unconscious cruelties, like
locking puppies in closets, are of
the same class. "A dog is only as
good as you make him." Bette says.
You can't train a dog without
earning his respect. And no dog

Jack Carson Gets
Slapped More and
More Often

Wide World News. HOLLYWOOD.
Jack Carson Is an amlable sort
Of guy who's always getting slapped
around and having somebody else
grab his girl. In the movies, that Is.
He's building up quite a reputa-
ton as the fellow who fades out Of
the romances in the last reel with
q fist planted on his jaw.
Unless the movie directors cross
up the public, the audience can en-
dure the most narrowing situations
with the comfortable knowledge
that before long the hero will land
. haymaker on the Carson profile.
It's been going on so long Carson
has developed a keen appreciation
Of the art Of taking falls, and is
the best Judge Of punches on the
Warner lot.
"Guys Ike Jimmy Cagney and
Henry Fonda have made q science
of taking a punch" he says-but
adds ruefully, "how can you fake q
fall?"
Carson doesn't like retakes, so he
tries to make good Job of falling
the first time. ss ss,
In "The Bride Came c. o. D."
Cagney polished son Carson with a
right to the jaw. Raymond Massey
did the same thing In Arsenic and
Old Lace" and Henry Fonda carried
on in "The Male Animal"

reel" Carson says with resignation,
II have to be bounced, literally. It's

Despite these cinematic thump-
ings, Carson has suffered very little.
He skinned his arm in an enthusi-
astic fall trading punches with
Cagney and Massey inadvertently
stuck thumb in his eye once.
But the injuries were nothing that
his fat paycheck wouldn't cure.

are more than any household can
