WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Secre- tary of War Stimson said today that it is possible that some Amer ican fliers who took part in the Doolittle raid on Tokyo and were forced down after leaving Japan, had been captured by the Japa- nese.
 Stimson said the names on Jap propaganda broadcasts fairly we'll correspond" with those of Army air men long carried on Army records as missing, he told a press conference of the War Department.
 He said, There are no reports other than those by the Japs that the men will be subjected to trial"
 Our fliers who attacked Tokyo were instructed to attack only mil- itary objectives. According to our reports, they did so with remark able accuracy"
 In discussing the planes, Stim- son said "one was interned in Rus sia, but several others involved made forced landings in China. Very few of those planes have been carried as missing, however

 The names Tokyo gave out were Second Lieutenants William Far row, Dean Hollmark, Corporal Ja- cob Deshaver, and Sergeant Me chanic Harold Spatz.

The W ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON-U. s. Army of ficers were burned up" when China's Foreign Minister T. V. Soong managed to obtain through the White House stratoliner in which to fly from Washington back to China
 In the stratoliner he is taking ten friends, thereby using up extremely valuable cargo space.
 The Army did it's best to block use of the stratoliner, It knew tons of equipment allocated to China, were piled up, waiting for means of trans portation. It also knew that T. V. Soong, long had battled to get more weapons for China.
 So the Army opposed use of the Stratoliner. However, when T. V. Soong insisted, the matter was re- ferred to the White House-which Sided with the Chinese Foreign Min ister and ruled that he should have the big passenger plane.
 Only other high ranklng member of the diplomat circle to angle for a stratoliner was Madame Martins, Conga-dancing wife of the Brazilian Ambassador. Madame Martins was going back to Brazil wanted to fly ina stratoliner instead of in an ordinary passenger plane. The Army opposed, argued that stratoliners were needed to fly men to Africa, India, Australia.
 However, vivacious Madame Mar tins spoke to high-placed friends in the State Department and they gave her the stratoliner-untl younger State Department officials sided with the Army so vigorously that the order was overruled. In the end, Madame Martins flew in an ordinary passenger plane.
 NOTE: Foreign Minister Soong, long resident of Washington, now will remain permanently in China, where he constantly gets in the hair

WASHINGTON, Oct. g. - There has been a story going around that politics is dead for the duraton. It isn't true. Politics is no more dead than the World Series, women's fashions, or democracy.
 That brings us right down to cases, because one of the best "polit- ical stories" circulating in Washing ton today centers around New York put political stories in quotes because this story is based on lot of ifs and ands and buts. However, it's also based on a lot of solid political logic. And that's the wa I'm going to pass it on.
 To shoot all three barrels at once it's simply this: Thomas E. Dewey will be elected the first Republican Governor of New York in 22 years; he will be nominated, without much opposition, as the Republican can didate for the Presidency in 1914; and the Democratic nominee op- posing him then will be Wendell L Willkie.
 As for that solid political logic here's the way the Washington ob-

Less Music in the Air

Tanglewood, one of New England's many great cultural centerS, will be closed until the close of the war so it was announced this week. This out standing music center where the Berk- shire Music Festival was held every sum- mer with concerts by the Boston Sym phony orchestra had come to be one of the finest enterprises of its kind in the country. The concerts were not only attended by the Berkshire area residents at top prices but popular priced seats were available, and only last summer was inaugurated the seating outside the shed where music lovers perched on camp chairs, pillows or the ground and listened to the programs presented under the di- rection of Serge KousseWtzky.
 It is to be regretted that the Festival had to come to this decision but under existing circumstances it would not be possible for those who had distances to travel to attend this summer, and at the same time abide by the gas rationihg rules which of necessity must cut down travel for pleasure. The Festival asso- citation and those who benefited by it's successful operation, the artists engaged, and those who could afford to attend must accept the decision and sacrifice the pleasure and material gain for the time being.
 Encouragement in a participation the arts, such as music and drama is recom- mended in times like these. But to some extent this will not be possible in such undertakings as the major festivals and summer theaters. Tan glewood shed was completed for last summers concerts, although there were nl nf a10cin0 if in thp sides for possible rainy days. Record at tendanceS marked the seasons tri- umphs and the various departments of musical instruction had success full registration. In short, the Berk- shire Music Festival was set to attain new heights. But this great adventure in music must make way for other demands, and when the war comes to close 1t will be again possible to travel the Berk- shire route to enjoy in the summer time music in the air.

Press Comment
sALvAGING THE NoRMANDIE

NAAeAA v4O4 VI @ AAAASSS
 Had the Navy decided that the Normandie could not be salvaged, there would have been more than a little disappointment. It would have been due not to regret that the great vessel was not again to sail the seas under her own power, but to confession by the Navy that 1t could not do or was reluctant to undertake a salvage job of greater magnitude than ever had been at tempted by 1t in the past. The deci- sion that the ship ca nbe salvaged, and that the Navy can direct the job, is what the public expected.
 How difficult the job will be is outlined in the report of the com mittee of experts called upon by the Navy to consult with it. Not since the British brought up from the bottom of Scapa Flow the Ger man battleships which were scuttled there by their crews when the ships were delivered after World War I, has thre been a Salvaging job ap- proximately the refloating of the Normandie. But the fact that the German ships up from the bottom, British did bring every one of those and turned them into steel for ships of the British Navy, is demonstra- tion enough that the Normandie can be righted.
 An interesting feature of the com mittee report is the section dealing with the operations of divers, de- scribed as diving work of magni- tude never before undertaken" The Navy must train many men for the work, and is establishing a salvage service school at the scene of the Normandie'S humiliation. These divers will work inside the vessel, where the mixture of water and silt is so dense that not even the light of the most powerful underwater Illuminating devices can help them
 they must do thier important work almost entirely by sense of touch. Hundreds of openings must be plugged with steel and concrete, hundreds of braces be built, and then there must be control of the pumping of water out of the ship
