President Roosevelt, In letters
to chairmen Of the Senate and z
House Banking Committees, ex- 7
pressed "unalterable opposition"
today to any move to change the
present parity formula for farm

ing such a move. -.
Parity Is price level calculated /,

crops comparable to . past favorable

farm wages into account, thus In
creasing the level to which farm
prices might rise before eeilinss !.

Stands Firm on Policy. '

By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Massed
squadrons OF possibly 800 RAJ
bombers nnloaded another huge
batch Of explosives on the indus
trial heart Of Germany last
night, striking at the Ruhr in a
renewed effort to. aid Soviet
Russia by crippling Adolf hit
ler's war-making machinery.
This massive night blow At the
Ruhr, the Air Ministry disclosed,
followed 4 daring dusk attack by
light British bombers on Wiesba den,
In the Rhineland. l. Wiesbaderi is
the seat Of the German Armistice
Commission, which deals with
French armistice matters. - es>
The night raid, delivered by ia
very strong force OF bofnbers,,"'. left
many Ares burning, some OF them
very large, the communique said.
British losses In the two air as.
saults were 30 planes, 1t was an
nounced. If the usual S per cent
loss ratio prevailed, the RAF may
have sent over as many, as 800
planes. An authoritative source
said specifically, however. that it
was not 1000 bomber operation.
The RAJ ran its string Of might
assaults on, the Reich this month
to 10 by this attack. .y* 80,
Meanwhile, spitfire fighters in
tercepted q group Of high-fiying
German daylight raiders over the
English Channel this morning and
turned them back after they had
tried three times to cross the British
south coast. /.
Two American pilots serving with
the Royal Canadian Air Force re-
ported many fires In the Ruhr VAL
ley. "
The fires were not so concentrat-
ed as In the 1000 bomber raid on
Cologne, but they covered q wider
area" reported Flight Sergt. Edward
Murphy OF Dorchester, Mass, 4 vet
eran Of many raids. The red glow
from the fires was reflected by the
clouds over the target"
serst. James burton Is, of Bill
ings, Mont, said the Ruhr Valley
defenses were extremely .hot-they
were pouring 1t up"
Whenever cone of searchliehts
focused on . plane, the Germans
sent UP the whole works. We were
caught in, . beam once or twice, but
We weren't coned." r..
-, Second Blow In. Month";.
The dusk curtain-r aiser of the
British air assault was the second
blow against Wiesbaden within a
month. Chiefly spa but also 4
manufacturing city where sursical
instruments are made, Wiesbaden
was one Of the chief targets of q
strong raid on Frankfurt and the
upper Rhineland on the night OF
August ~. It had not been men
TONED before In RAJ communicates.
To reach their goal with nightfall
last night, the light bombers had to
cross almost 400 miles of enemy ter
ritory In daylight. Some British
observers said this may have ac-
counted for large share of the 80
planes lost, but NO oincial amplica-
ton was given.

WISE RULING

A Connecticut probate court has
added to the legal protection thrown
about the process of child adoption He
decided that when the secretary Of q
weIIknown coIumnist and her husband
gave up their baby for adoption, the
foster parents acquired substantially
irrevocobIe rights.
This was wise ruling. The law gen.
orally protects mothers who are under
oee, unmarried or octine under tenn
porory stress, from losing their infants.
But there is growing line Of decisions
to assure chiIdIess couples that when
they toke baby into their homes and
hearts, they need not fear having their
happier homes disrupted by q beIoted
change Of heart on the port of the nat.
uroI parents.
Without such assurance the odop-
ton system, which has given loving por-
ents to thousands who otherwise would
have grown UP as waits, would be badly
handicapped.

Jack of clubs. He saw two losers,

velop a squeeze. But for the sue
cessful operation of most forms
Of squeeze, the declarer has to
be able to win all the tricks but
one in top cards.
So Fain at once reduced the
count to this situation by leading
the Jack Of spades and ducking
it. West won with the queen and
led the second club. forcing the
king. Now the ace and king of
trumps were cashed. followed by
the ace of spades, on which Fam
discarded diamond. A third
round Of spades was ruffed to
extract East's last spade. Then
South led the rest Of his trumps.
AT the end West had to let go
his diamond stopper to save the
high spade. Dummy thereupon
let 60 the spade and East was
squeezed between diamonds and

Europe In Revolt" by Rene
Kraus macmillan: $500.
Some Aunt Nancys of both
sexes have been Mortified at
statements from persons in a po-
sition to know that we must
make hate as we'll as machines
to win this war. Hating Nazis is
naughty, they feel.
But after reading Rene
Kraus' Europe in Revolt" for
most of us, the problem will be
how to keep from hating instead
of whether it is nice to do so.
Except in one or two official re-
ports, | have seen no record OF
such CHASTITY human behavior in
my life. Others may have been
more unfortunate.
Kraus is talking primarily Of
the anti-Hitler movements afoot
in the conquered countries Of
Europe. But he also is explain
ing why these have so stubborn
ly maintained themselves, and
why they stay so far under
ground in most of the raped
lands The reason is the same
the repressive measures taken
by the Germans. Kraus' knowl-
edge of these measures is as
founding. The general facts are
open to everybody, Of course.
But in a world where every eff
fort has been made to prevent
such thing, Kraus has managed
to document most Of his asser-
tons, and this is an accomplish
ment of first rank.
The impossibility of murder
ing resistance is best illustrated
in the countries so far worst
treated to wit, Yugoslavia and
Poland The murders in these
two lands run into hundreds of
thousands. But Yugoslavia, par
ticularly the Serbian section,
maintains the most effective
guerilla warfare of all. And Po-
land is so far from conquered
that when the chief murderer.
Heinrich Himmler, rode away
from one of his bloody jobs in
the governor generals train, he
found a grimly humorous paper
folded in his menu. This began
Heinrich, dear Heinrich" and
warned the crea ire that his
task was impossible in the face
Of the vision of free Poland.
The sack Of the Church, both
Catholic and Protestant; the
rape of the Jews; deliberate
theft: waves of sadism that make
gladiatorial excesse: in Rome
seem like meetings of the Au-
thors' League; deliberate and
systematic starvation; prostitu-
ton of youth; wholesale VIOLA
ton of women with no attempt
whatever to conceal the process
from the world; hundreds of
similar matters are on one side
Of Mr.. Kraus' ledger. On the
other is a list of active counter
measures involving repeated sac
rifices which point toward a
blistering day of payment.

THE CHALLENGE OF BAD NEWS

In times like these how many Of US
on the home front ore like EIsho's
servant? How many Of US, reading
about the movements or armies or
listening to nilitory experts onolyzin9
the strength of material forces, do
what that young man did when he saw
host enoompossine the city, both
with horses and choriots." He was the
one who said, "AIos, my master! how
shall we do?"
He had only dismoy to contribute
to thot situation How many Of US give
anything more when things appear to
be going badly? Do we simply stand
oehost at the apparent enornity Of
evil? Don't we often do worse, oneri|y
berotine our leaders and our allies, or
thouehtlessIy picturine on unprinci-
pied eonester general as on nvnoibIe
conqueror? How many Of us take Eli
sho's course? The account in the Sixth
Chapter Of Second Kings, tells it, "And
Elisha proved"
You will remember the sequel. The
young mans eyes we're opened "ond,
behold, the mountain was full Of hors-
es and choriots Of fire round about Eli
sho." And the prophet, confident that
he would be protected from the evil
purpose Of the King of Syria, proved
again. The eneWy forces we're captured
and Elisha sent them back to their own
country.
The Bible is full Of such records Of
the deiveronce Of h ose who truly
trusted in God, good, and understood
the superiority Of spiritual power Such
trust is the essence of prayer Christian
peoples need more often to remind
themselves Of the Power which sup
ports any good purpose and to put
their trust in Him. Many British people
are convinced that the so-colIed mir
ocIe Of Dunkirk" resulted from q no.
tionoI doy Of prayer. In America bad
news should not be on occasion for
the doubt and Disney of Elsho.s serv-
ant, but for effectuol, fervent prayer. 1"
