ELMER DAVIS

Admlral Lands failure to sub- mt his shoot organizers at sum- rise speech to Elmer Davis first has brought out the fact that de- spite White House orders for full cooperation, Elmer Davis's Office o1 War Information has had very tough sledding. Some people have dubbed 1t Office of War Arbitra- tloh, because one of Davis's iobs IS to be the diplomat among vari- ous government agencies as to which shall say what and whose information is correct.
 Davis's toughest job is with the State, War and Navy Departments who don't think the American public should know much more than five or six line comm,,n;oue about what is going on. These three outfits stick together in con- sldering Davis nuisance, his men a punch Of boondogglers.
 However, Davis is gradually and tact1uliy gaining ground. His care ful, enlightening statement reoard-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-11-03

ing the status of American air. planes was case. in point. He hopes to do the same thing some day regarding the general aims of American diplomacy-if and when he can ever get the State Depart ment to budge.
 Davis is a fast worker, says yes or no immediately, doesn't call te- dious staff meetings to arrive at a decision, fights for what he thinks is right. .
 -NOTE--Admiral Lands failure to submit his speech to Davis in ad- vance, as, required by the White House, may cost him his promo ton to the rank of Vice Admiral. REPUBLICAN SUPREME COURT
 JUSTICE?
 Some of the Inner Circle want the President to make a bid for stronger national unity by appoint ing a Republican to Justice Byrnes' place on the Supreme Court. There are now only two Republicans on the Court-Stone and Roberts - while seven Democrats have been appointed, in a row.
 If the President accepts this ad- vice, he is almost sure to turn to Judge John J. Parker, of the US. Circuit Court of Appeals xn North Carolina. only living man appoint ed to the US. Supreme Court who failed of Senate ratification.
 Judge Parker was blackballed by Senate Liberals because of the hue and cry from Negroes and the AFL; whereas he has turned out to be one of the great progressive Jurists of the, country.
 Roosevelt has considered recti- flying that injustice, and will do so --if he finally decides to appoint Ia Republican.

FACTS ABOUT PLANES

The Office of War Information deserves the nations thanks for it's report on Army and Navy planes
 It's not whitewash It contains facts Some of them not so pleasant
 The report says the average combat perform ance of our planes is good and continues improve
 It tells what's wrong with specific types, what's being done to correct faults and what is good about other types
 This factual analysis should end the walls of publicity charging that our aviators are being sent out to meet the enemy inferior planes
 Just as important as the essentially good news in the report is the fact that we are getting such doesn't have to wait for post-mortem to find out what's going
 The report frankly admits the inferiority of the standard Army fighters (Curtiss P-4o Bell P-59 Airacobra North American P-51 Mustang) in high altitude combat. But it adds that improved types are in production.
 And in discussing the strength of the P-4O against the Japanese zero-of which the rumor- mongers have made much-the report points out that P-40 pilots would like to have more altitude If they could still maintain their advantages of superior fire power and protection"
 That is, the Zero has a higher ceiling than our panes-but the Jap pilots because of greater vuner- ability aren't likely to live long enough to brag about it
 Full credit is given in the report to the superi- ority Of our bombers both the Flying Fortress and the Lberator heavy bombers and the medium bonnb- CTS too.
 And here We begin to get to the root of the req son why this comtry-inventor of the airplane hold

Let's Try Hess Now
Philadelphia Record

The Russians, never afraid to call a spade a spade in international politics. want to try Axis war criminals now not after the war
 Foreign Commissar Molotov in behalf of Stan, has indorsed President Roosevelts program for post war punishment of Axis ringleaders and named some of the leaders-Hitler Goering Hess Goebbels, Him. mer, Riobentrop, Rosenberg
 But he added that the Soviet Government con- siders it essential ito hand without delay to the courts of special international tribunal and to pun sh with all the severity of the criminal code any one of the leaders of Fascist Germany who, in the course of the war has fallen into the hands of the States fighting against Htlerite Germany
 That means Rudolf Hess the only Nazi leader we now have in the coop
 There is no doubt about the guilt of Hess the No Nazi who flew to England on a mysterious er- rand nearly year and half ago He has stood with Hitler since the days of the abortve Munich beer hall putsch of 1923 Hitler dedicated "Mein Kampf" to him, proclaimed him his choice to suc- ceed as Fuehrer next to Goering
 He should be put on trial now before United Nations tribunal
 It would not be hard to find sufficient witnesses against him among refugee Germans here and in Britain
 Let's put on trial, too any other Nazi leaders we can lay our hands It would be an excellent idea to instruct Commandos to try to pick up in their raids the Germans who ordered execution Of innocent hostages in the occupied countries
 We can't afford to trust to postwar trials
 We know what happened last time The hang the Kaiser cry died down, and he presented to the public as nice old man fond of chopping wood
 The Allies too had a little list of 896 criminals they wanted to try for crimes committed during the war, crimes that included maltreamen of prisoners cruelty to French children refusal to give quarter etc. Twelve were placed trial Six were convict cd Stiffest penalty was four years in jail and the only two men receiving this penalty promptly escaped"
 we should accept the Russian proposal and try now any Axis criminals we can grab It will en- courage the people of conquered countries and show the Axis that we mean busilMss

of heavy proportion of pre-war aviation records failed to develop the worlds best fighter and dive bomber planes.
 Part of this is due, the report says, to the dis agreement in fighting forces on the weight and power to be yielded by aviation
 But part was due, too, to the fact that our chief interest in defending our shores We developed long-range bombers for defense We weren't out to conquer the world with dive -bombers
 Now that know the job we have to do in meeting the Axis offensive, developing planes to meet their best.
 Thanks to OWI, being told frankly how we carrying out that job

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compeW
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER
 This is not an important day in planetary direction. Good news may be expected regarding the war which will show definite progress 1 for the United Nations.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under an adverse sway which may cause anxiety and uncertainty to many. Sudden changes for white collar workers under political juris- diction are indicated. This is a time for girls to work toward ex- pertness in trades or other voca- tions. The seers long have foretold a postwar situation which makes imperative the economic indepen- dence of women Boys and girls in the future will be educated for special vacations Sheltered daugh- ters and idle wives will belong to the past, it is prophesied.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Ingenu- ity and research will supply many needs. New industries will be es- tablished as the result of careful experiment. Tire shortages will be felt only to a limited extent be- cause synthetic rubber will be pro- ruced in great quantities next year, the seers prophesy Banks n d bankers will encounter supreme problems of finance which will be complicated by tax intricacies Wherever trade slowed down for elections there will be stimulation which prevents the people from fully realizing war exigencies. l NATIONAL ISSUES Again agi- tation to reduce the number of Government civilian employees will be persistent as taxes rest heavily upon persons of every class Sales of Government bonds may be diminished under this widespread demand for economy in city, coun- 1 ty, state and federal administra- tions. Contrast between men and l women living on reduced incomes and those who are drawing good l salaries and are relieved of anxiety regarding finances will cause in- dignant reaction.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: France, occupied and moccupied, has evil portents that extend over coming months. Laval, under the influence of Jupiter in aspects con- ducive to greed and ambition, will precipitate more troubles and tra- gedies for the unfortunate Vichy government. Lack of food, increas- ing numbers of deaths and general deterioration are forecast. There is sign presaging an issue affect i ing the disposition of the French navy. The United Nations may benefit.
 Persons whose birthdate it Is have the augury of a year of some perplexities, but home conditions will be happy. Loss of money through misrepresentation is indi- cated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be talented and success ful. They may be extremely tal- ented but too artistic to be wise in business matters.
