 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert S. Allen on active dutyo

WASHINGTON-B he dellv- cred his message on wage and prlce stabilization, the President had a significant behind-the-sc talk with Jim Patton, head of the Ma tional Farmers Union.
 The President wanted to get. the farmers reaction before he made his speech, especially from the smaller grass-roots farmers. So he asked Gardner Jackson to bring in Patton. who represents thousands of small farmers. Accompanying him were Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, and Jackson.
 The President told Patton he had definite plans for curbing the in- crease of farm prices and asked his opinion.
 "The farmers will go along with you, MT. President Patton re- piled, provided you give the na- ton two crutches to walk on. But so far you've given US only one crutch. You've tried to limit farm prices and labor's wages, but you haven't done anything about in- dustrial profits. And while wages and farm prices have gone up a little, the profits of factories and munitions makers have gone up 400 per cent.
 T can assure you the farmers will go along with you on anything of benefit to the nation," Patton

REDS YIELD IN WEST Al
 STALINGRAD
Soviets Acknowledge Loss of 6round-HoId Firmly
 Elsewhere Near City
(By Associated Press)

Russia's armies have yielded fresh ground at the bloody western gates of Stalingrad, the Soviets acknow- ledged today.
 But after 24 hours, there is still no confirmation from the defend- CTS of the Nazi claim that Ger man shock troops. fighting in the city's streets, have captured the main Stalingrad railway station.
 This claim was announced early morning by the Germans.
 At heavy cost, the Germans have advanced slightly" Soviet head quarters said today.
 Reds Hold Firmly
 Elsewhere on the slowly contract ing defense arc, the Russians de- clared they are holding firmly.
 But a Berlin broadcast asserted that German troops have penetrat- ed deeper into the interior" of Stalingrad, but gave no further de- tails.
 DNB, German news agency, re- ported bitter street fighting against enemy nests of resistance" within the city.
 Is Bitter Struggle
 German headquarters reported merely that considerable addition al ground has been gained in em- bittered struggles" around Stalin- grad. This headquarters commit nique also said that the Russians are attacking at Rzhev and Vor- onezh.
 Battlefront dispatches to the Red Star, Russian Army newspaper, said that the Germans lost 5000 troops when they attempted to capture a hospital in one outlying section of Stalingrad

Most Everyone Now Wanted War Work,
 Defects Passed Up
BY JOHN GROVER 6For Jack Stinnett, on vacation

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16-Theres $ an amusing story about the Army finally getting around to rescindirY the rule-75 years late-requiring d recruit to have strong, opposed incisor teeth.
 A check of the Army's musty rec ords disclosed that the rule did have some meaning once, way back when the infantrymen were equipped with muzzle loading rifles and paper powder cartridges. They needed their snappers then to bite off the tops of the paper cart ridges for quick reloading, and loss of the teeth was ample reason for rejection of the rookie.
 However, all actual need for cart ridge biting incisors passed when the breech- loading rifle was adop- ted, but the regulation remained on the books until this year, when il was decided that a rookie didn't need any teeth, provided he had synthetic choppers able to masti- cate his chow properly.
 What makes the cartridge biting tooth rules long retention even
  more incredible is the fact that an official Army publication in 1875 pointed out that advances in mill tarv science" such as the breech- loader, permitted service of re- cruits barred before that time, and specifically mentioned the outmod-

chance.
81 may be wrong, but 1 believe
you can take more of beating on
the mental and nerve side than you
can on the physical side. When I
used to pick up those sevens in
championship round, and l got more
than my share of those, the tempta-
ton to ease up and forget it all was
pretty strong. You get the feeling
there's no use fighting it out at that
particular time"
This is all true. l recall Gene
Sarazen, one of our finest golf COM
petitors, once saying you can't win
a big championship with 'sevens.'

But Bobby Jones championship
cards were studded with sevens. He
had a seven at HoyIake in his Grand

strokes to get down after he was
only 40 yards from the green in two.
He had killing seven at Scioto,
but he won. He had two sevens on
the last 10 holes at Winged Foot, but
he went on to win the playoff.

The Big Word

Words, as rule, are unimportant,
when the air is full of flying steel.
But in this same connection we still
recall a conversation with hard
bitten colonel of the First division
in France early in 1918, when the
German army, apparently, was
about to break through.
I happened to bring up the matter
of courage. The First division
colonel gave'lne a cold look.
Courage" he said, sis secondary.
Most people and most nations have
courage. The big word is 'fortitude.'
This is a far more important word
than courage.
''Fortitude, of course, includes
courage. But it goes far beyond.
Fortitude means both physical and
mental stamina. 1t means the abil-
ity to carry on job that might be
dull and uninteresting. 1t means
giving all you've got to give, out
side of the spotlight. In football
way, it means the blocking back,
who clears the road for the ball car
rier. 1t means sacrificing yourself
for the cause.
I'm this war, those up around the
front may get killed, but they get
all of the excitement. Those back
of the lines get the drudgery, minus
the thrills. You'll find that almost
all of those back of the lines would
much rather be up where the ex-
citement is. 1t takes more fortitude
to do your work in a place where
there is little chance for any thrills,
little chance for any publicity or any
reward"

WILLKIE AND F.D.R.

Seldom in political history has
President of the United States re-
ceived such wholesome support on
major foreign policy from defeat
ed candidate as Franklin Roosevelt
has received from Wendell Willkie.
Few people know how active Willkie
has been behind the scenes.
For instance, Willkie has even
done some missionary work on Joe
Martin, chairman of the Republican
National committee and opposition
leader of the house. Willkie remains
on very friendly terms with his old
campaign manager, even though
they differed on foreign policy.
Shortly after the congressional
vote to repeal the Neutrality act,
in which the Republicans nearly de-
feated Roosevelt, Willkie phoned
Joe Martin.
"Joe," he said, chose Republi-
cans who voted against repeal OF
neutrality are going to have tough
time being reelected. They're 60
ing to find. the country is behind
Roosevelt on this.
The Republican national chair
man replied that he would not only
reflect all the Republicans who
voted against Roosevelt, but he
would also elect lot of new Repub-
leans to fill the seats of the Demo-
Gratis who had voted with Roosevelt.
"Listen," said Willkie, eff you re-
elect 80 per cent of those who voted
against the President you'll be the
greatest political genius of all time"
"And," said Willkie, in telling the
story to friend afterward, "a few
days later there was Joe himself
voting with Roosevelt for a declara-
ton of war;

most good health and most bad
health"
We've printed their diets and their
suggestions - plain foods, simple
foods-and not too much of it. But
many of these coaches and trainers,
who know their trade, brought in an
other angIe-this was the mental
side, which has direct bearing on
the about war today.
The best football player" lead
ing coach wrote me, ''needs some
thing more than size and speed and
physical fitness. He must be able to
sacrifice himself for the good of the
team. He must be able to take
punishment-and like it-for the
cause he is fighting for. He must
be willing to give up all outside
pleasures that conflict in any way
with the main idea, which is to win.
Only those who have this frame of
mind or really worthwhile. The
others are only good when things
are rolling their way.
Football is no game for those
easily discouraged. Mental fiber is
even more important than phys
ical fiber-and mental fiber means
giving all you have in the direction
of victory, no matter what the odds.
We might call it intestinal forti-
tude,' a phrase the late Dan Nc
Gugin of Michigan and Vanderbilt
inventedo

Crude Oil Quota

WASHINGTON-R K. Davies
deputy petroleum co-ordinator, said
some states had consistently and SUBJ
stantially" exceeded the national war
time petroleum production quotas.
He issued a detailed table showing
the monthly production assignments
for states and the actual oil produc-
ton, which showed Texas had pro-
duced more oil above its quota than
any other state.
Montana was shown to have slightly
exceeded its quota in three Of the
first six months of 1912 but dropped
behind in the other three, so that
the figures for the half year gave the
state a production of 3,700 barrels less
than the quota assigned.
Not only is this practice exceeding
quotas unfair to states that are COM
plying with the Qualifications" Davies
said, but it results in inefficient OPP

wells and fields are permitted to pro-
duce without restrictions"

War Is Fight for Dignity,
Patrick Tells Bar GROUP

The Second World War is q fight
for the rights and dignity Of people
"for q world within a world" rather
than q struggle between nations
Representative Patrick of Alabama
told the Federal Bar Association at
its weekly luncheon at the Harring-
ton Hotel yesterday.
Mr.. Patrick spoke in place of the
originally scheduled speaker, Gan
son Purcell, member of the Secu-
rites and Exchange Commission,
who was unable to keep his engage
ment.
Racial prejudices were aroused by
the Axis nations "only as an excuse
to try to take the wealth of others,
said Mr.. Patrick. He compared the
Axis system to a crap game. IF
I'm running the game. and you are
the players" he illustrated, Il
would take my very small part Of
each pot. But sooner or later, I
would have all Of the money. That's
the way the Axis wants to run the
world. to collect its take from other
nations"
The present stage Of the war Is
''parrying time" for the United
