However, here Is the real story behind Col. Bush's death,

During the course of the conversation he expressed enthusiasm over the fact that he was leaving shortly for Africa, giving the date of his departure.

 NOTE -- Col. Bush came from an old, distinguished family, He had served With distinction in the last war, was a member of the famed Lafayette Escadrille. LA GUARDIA CALLS ST. PETER
 Even the Little Flower" has trouble reaching the big shots. Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia Is Q man of Influence but he says there are only three important men in Washington he can get action from by telephone. These are Jesse Jones. General Somervell, and Admiral Moreell,
 "The others" says LaGuardia, ''consider themselves too import ant to talk on the telephone, and if you do get . call through you have to be on the line walt ing for them. The operator shouts, Put your party on! Put your party on!'
 "Y0u might think it was St. Peter eomin gto the teicphone'" STRONG MAN TURK
 Diplomats returning from the Near East report that one nll- important result of the inspiring African campaign Is It's effect upon Turkey.
 This country. the key to Nazl invasion of the Asiatic Near East has very quietly sent troops to an obscure, but one of the most im- portant corners of the map-west Turkey in the Treblzond area which skirts the Black Sea, This Is the area where Nazl troops were expected to land in order to get around the high mountains of the Caucasus and push on Into Iran and Iraq.
 Such . move would endanger the British In Syria and Pales- tine, also the Russian oil fields, also would cut off all supplies to Russia from the Persian Gulf.
 U. s. diplomats are glowing in their praise for the strong position Turkey has taken against the Nazis. She has built up her army to Q force of 0b0,000 under arms, with on additional b00.000 trained men not under arms. Mili- tary equipment Is arriving from the United states under the Lend- Lease agreement. which hos helped materially to bolster Turkeys re- siStance to Nazi threats.
 However, Ambassador Won Pa- pen Is extremely active, and there are many German agents in tho country with large bank rolls. Some of this money gees to Arab leaders east and south of Turkey. However, the Turks have . strong Secret Police, and some of the German agents have bene dep0rted.
 Now with British victories the Turks can be expected to be even more vigiiant.
