Professor Fordney stared

which lay the corpse with the

newspaper, sat down.
Fordney held in his hand the
single object of thorough ex-
animation of the room had re-
vealed; an advertisement of
wigs! 1t was the only thing in
the corpse's pockets. What did
it mean? The picture was
slowly materializing. If some

Adolf Hitler.
SHARP CRITICISM
One report from. a usually re-
liable source said Field Marshal
General Walther Won Brauch-
itsch, whose place Hitler has
taken as German army COM
mander in chief, continues open
ly to express sharp criticism to
his officer friends of current
military tactics.
Semi diplomatic information
in Istanbul said today that Field
Marshal General Siegmund Will
helm List, last reported two
months ago in Athens command
ing German forces in southeast
ern Europe, had disappeared.
The Moscow radio has report
ed that Heinrich Himmler, chief
of the German Gestapo, is Hit
ler's new chief collaborator in
army direction and that Reichs-
marshal Hermann Wilhelm Go
ering is under q cloud.
Goering was Hitler's crown
prince at the start of the war,
head of the mighty Nazi air
force and the German Fuehrer's
own first choice as his successor.
NO CONFIRMATION
There is no confirmation from
Germany, Of course, that Goer-
ing has fallen from grace.
Informants, however, said he
incurred Hitler's displeasure
both because he Is regarded IS
having failed to win African
concessions in his conferences
with French Marshal Petain and
also for two differeces of opin-
ion with his chief on high STRAIT
egy.
First, they said, he was over
ruled In his advocacy of an at
tack on England after bunker
que and then he objected to the
invasion of Russia.
Himmler has taken an in
creasinsly important role, say
persons who recently have let
Germany, as the old army COM
mand becomes more and more
superseded and control of the
home front grows more rigid.

thing that we can possibly deny
ourselves.
1--WE can overtake Hitler. The
man who says we can't is either
blindly ignorant or believes that
democracy and freedom are
played out and helpless"
THEME TO INDUSTRY
These are the words Nelson
has been preaching to industrial
lists and politicians alike in
speeches and conferences for
more than year. To fellow de-
tense officials content with the
rising curve of weapon produc-
ton he has been DINING that
the program was not half big
enough. In a capital crammed
with men seeking contracts, pri-
critics and loans, Nelson has
insisted on one measuring stick
alone for all decisions - What
will help most to win the war.
His associates believe Presi-
dent Roosevelt picked him to
head the war production board
because he was one of the few
men who had his sights set on a
program as large as the Presi-
dent envisaged even before the
tWo-year schedule of 10000
tanks, $4,000 planes and ID
million tons of shipping began to
take shape.
Nelson is a natural advocate
of hard work and self-denial as
the solution of the Nations
problems. He fought his way up
from the other side of the tracks
to a $75,000-a-year job as vice.
president of Sears Roebuck in
charge of merchandising before
he was called to Washington,
June 80, 1910, as coordinator OF
defense purchasing.
A tanned, six-foot. compound,
bald, brown-eyed pipe smoker
with a stiff white collar and
steel-rimmed spectacles, Nelson
gets to his office before a. m.
and works 10 hours day. His
big mahogany desk is clean ex-
cept for a half dozen pipes lined
up in a row. His manner is mod
est and kindly. He never loses
his temper.
He was born in Hannibal, Mo-,
81 years ago, the son of an en-
gineer for the Katy Railroad. He
worked his way through Mis-
souri, University by selling pa
pers, jerking sodas and stocking
furnaces. In 1912 he took q
temporary job" with Sears Roe
buck to earn money for graduate
work but stayed with the mail
order firm, rising rapidly
through his ability as clever
buyer who stocked up in slack
times. ------------

Detroit's skyscrapers- other multiple stored

Glenn c. Richards, chairman of the defense

But outside of marking the masonry and splntering

1T is not so much bad censor

the common cause. That, in IL
self, is a notable achievement of
the President - fin 10 stand in

deeds.
The fighting spirit Of our ex-

Whether raw new levies will

IVES, these are all notable

alone, they are not enough. The
missing element in our mental

The fault is not complacency,

Fall Of Manila Saddens
Conquerors Of City in !'98
BY DAMON RUNYON

TWAS the First Colorado that
paused briefly at Wake Island
en- route to the Philippines on
board the transformed British
liner China, and sent two boat
loads of officers ashore to raise
the American flag. rhe China
was also in the convoy that also
stopped at Guam while the
US.S. Charleston captured the
island in some w hat comic
fashion. quite unlike the Japa-
nese occupation Of that atoll
with Americans resisting.
A detail from the regiment
helped haul down the Spanish
flag at the office Of the captain
of the port after the fall of Ma
nilla and hoiSted the Stars and
Stripes, just now lowered to a
foreign foe for the first time in
upwards Of 100 years. Ben Lear,
now lieutenant general. was a
first sergeant in the First Colo
RADIO the day 1t marched into
Manila.
THE fall Of the city TO the
L Japanese is a melancholy but
not a tremendous tragic incident
10 the old soldiers who took it
from the Spaniards. Few of
them ever believed that il could
be held against major attack in
any event and certainly not
after the Japs hornswoggled
Uncle Samuel into leaving his
Pacific outPosts weakly fortified.
The taking of Manila was no
great military exploit 43 years
ago, and II was no greater re-
Gently. You may find consolation
in the indubitable fact that the
Japs will not he able to defend
the city. either, once we begin
betting them with anything like
our true power. Manila is more
of a symbol than an important
objective. The retaking Of Wake
and Guam will also be COM
paratively simple matter when
we get around to il.
The tales Of harsh treatment
Of Americans in Manila by the
JapS are in distinct contrast to
the situation long ago. Then our
invading troops handled the con-
quered Spaniards with great
kindness and consideration and
even the soldiers taken prison
ers were presently allowed
pretty much the run OF the city.
The Japs are just adding an
other item 10 the account which
they must eventually pay with
terrible interest.
