American Planes Superior

In aerial combat, it is the box score that counts says the report of the aviation subcommittee of the House Military Affairs Committee, which answers charges that this countrys fighting ships inferior to some of those of Germany and Japan
 With this criteron the Committee according to press dispatches points out that American planes are consistently knocking down two to three enemy planes for every that is lost This record 1t adds, should be 'complete answer as 10 the fighting qualities of American planes, which have proved themselves to be more than a match" for any of the aircraft ptted against them
 The findings of the House subcommittee are in- teresne especially in view of the rather widespread criticism of American fighter planes voiced in nast months and given some impetus by the Truman Sen ate Committee It should be reassuring to the Amer- cans who may have been unnecessarily alarmed by those who have asserted that United States aircraft especially pursuit planes, are behind those of the enemy.
 The House group citing the record established by American planes in period of 30 days reveals the ratio o enemy planes destroyed to United States plan lost in combat 75 to 1. It cautioned however, that these fures should not be regarded as normal unusu9! ratio because our ratio of losses will n evitaAy v ease when we 90 further on tie olenSF2
 The lou members heard group OI military aEi5ti9e eEao s and sened 10 pilots who have had wee experience in actual combat operations. Those who have sen service against the Japanese admitted of p'ero .s whether t w.ns in battle, and, on Ire basis f th@ test American fighter aircraft have elusive superiority.
 The committee studied the performance of Am- eroan medium and heavy bombers but stated that with respect to Ane.ican bomber types, little need be said since their record to date is outstanding to silence criticism.

Both Major Political Parties Face Problem Oyerhauling High Command

WASHINGTON - With elections over, both pol tic parties face major problem of overhauling their high command This will not be easy--especiallv for the Democrats. Here is the dilemma they face:
 1--Ihe President isn't particularly interested in politics. shouldn't be interested needs to devote his Wh2e tne 60 the war. Yet he knows, and his party leaders know that elections not won in the last five minutes, but during months and years of advance prepa ton,
 2--Mesnwhe the President is building up No ? mar b take lis running down; patronage on which party feeds has vanished; and most people believe Roosevelt could not be elected for fourth term he wants one which close friends say he doesn't
 Mort immediate of the reorganization programs is the selection of new Democratic National Chairman. Ed Flynn, eX-boss of the Bronx is not in good health has tta shadow of Belgian paving blocks over his shoulder, definitely will resign whether he becomes U. S Ambassador to Mexico or not
 To replace Flynn there has been some backstage talk of bringing back the old Jim Farley-Chip Robert seems out of the question Actually Jim is too sore at the President and vice versa, for them to function together in any manner, shape or form-even though Jim was the most efficient politico ever around the White House
 Furthermore Farley will be asked by New York Young Democratic leader Harold Moskovit to step out of the chairmanship of the Demoratic Party in New York State, and give the state organization chance to be revamped from the top down A lot of people urging similar organization for the Dem ocratic Party nationally.
 Republican Splits
 Meanwhile the Republicans are in slightly better shape-but not much Titular leader Wendell Willke is becoming more and more independent. Tom Dewey who will demand and secure and more leader ship is completely on the outs with Wkie And Will ke more than reciprocates
 Chairman Joe Martin has been keeping the party machinery together, but cash donations have been meager and the job is not easy.

Alaska's Cash
 Tops Record

JUNEAU, Nov. - Territorial Treasurer Oscar G. Olson an nounced that the Territorial Urea surer's bank balance as of Sep tember 30 was S1,447,S36.66, the largest during the last ten years and nearly half a million over the balance of a year ago.
 Treasurer Olson said that the collection of delinquent taxes and the increase in taxes collect ed from liquor stamps account for the large balance.
 In view of the record breaking balance in the treasury the Leg islature, which meets in January will have no excuse for apprOv- ing any increased taxes, partic- uiarly, too, in consideration of the heavy federal demands ne- oessitated by the war.
 Following is comparative statement for the past ten years, showing balances as of Sept. 30:

More difficult than anything else, however has been the problem of setting up overall Republican policy which will satisfy the conflicting views of 'sso atiOnisto and interventionst' leaders, This apple- too 10 other matters In Kansas for instance Ali Lan- don all set to make speech just before the cleo ten urging the return of prohibition snd it onv last minute wire-pulng by Ais close friends the persuaded him 10 forget it. They argued that fee cast of prohibition raised by one-time leader of the C. O. P. would throw lot of votes to Democrats.
 Result of all this conflict is the klihcod that even wider Schisms will develop inside both Democratic and Republican ranks So it would surprise no one n the Capital to see non-partsan ticket, vigorous y opposed 10 Soation faVoring some form of inter- national peace machinery after the war in the leld in l944. Behind that ticket undoubtedly would be WiLkle and Roosevelt both playing on the same team
 Supreme Court Vacancy
 Tie President told advisers that he wanted to put of filling Justice Byrnes' vacancy on the Supreme Court until after election. Meanwhile the pressure from the Senate to appoint Senator Alben Bariley of Kentucky has become so great that FDR almost wishes he had not delayed
 Roosevelt is extremely fond of Ba-lley, values his services in the Senate and feels grateful to him But there two handicaps in the path of Barkley's appointment: his age, 65 which is contrary to the Presidents 1887 thesis that the Court should be staff ed with younger men. ga Kentuckan already is on the Supreme Court. In fact there are already two justices from the South Hugo Black of Alabama and Stanley Reed of Kentucky, while there is none from
 
 Therefore, the White House has been subject to pressure to appoint Judge Wiley Rutiedge of the US Court Of Appeals in the District of Columbia, former Dean of Law at the State University of Iowa
 Though Felix Frankfurter is opposed to him, 2ut- ledge happens be the candidate of Chief Justice Stone, who would Like to a judge rather than Senator appointed Also, in view of the fact that Byrnes has resigned and there have been runors that Justices Murphy and Douglas might go into war work the Chief Justice says little plaintiyely q want someone who will stay
 Rationng Vice President
 Vice President Wallace is noted for abstinence He does not drink smoke, he eats in moderation He does not even drink coffee Now he has added another absent item to his bill of fare He does not eat butter
 Wallace says, Butter is excellent food for child ren but an adult like me- who is trying to keep his waistine down, get along just well without it.

In the town the people moved
sullenly through the streets. Some
of the light of astonishment was
gone from their eyes, but still a
light OF anger had not taken its
| place.
In the coal shaft the workingmen
pushed the coal cars sullenly. The
small tradesmen stood behind their
counters and served the people, but
no one communicated with them.
The people spoke to one another in
monosyIables, and every one was
thinking of the war, thinking to
himself, thinking of the past and
how it had suddenly been changed.
In the drawing room of the palace
OF Mayor Orden a small fire burned
and the lights were on, for 1t was
a gray day outside and there was
frost in the air. The room was itself
undergoing a change. The tapestry
covered chairs were pushed back,
the little tables out of the way, and
through the doorway to the right
Joseph and Annie were struggling
to bring in large, square dining
table.
They had it on its side. Joseph
was in the drawing room and
Annie's red face showed through the
door. Joseph maneuvered the legs
around sideways, and he cried,
Don't push, Annie! Now!"
II am moving" said Annie the
red-nosed, the red-eyed, the angry.
Annie was always little angry
and these soldiers, this occupation,
did not improve her temper. In
deed, what for years had been con-
sidered simply bad disposition was
suddenly become patriotic emotion.
Annie had gained some little repu-
tation as an exponent OF liberty by
throwing hot water on the soldiers.
She would have thrown it on any
one who cluttered up her porch,
but 1t just happened that she had
become a heroine; and since anger
had been the beginning Of her sue
cess, Annie went on to new sue
cesses by whipping herself into in
creased and constant anger.
Annie Is Hostile.
Don't scuff the bottom" Joseph
said. The table wedged in the door,
way. Steady" Joseph warned.
Il am steady" said Annie.
Joseph stood off and studied the
table, and Annie crossed her arms
and glared at him. He tested a leg.
Don't push" he said. Don't
push so hard" And by himself he
got the table through while Annie
followed with crossed arms. Now,
up she goes" said Joseph, and at
last Annie helped him settle 1t on
four legs and move 1t to the center
of the room.
There" Annie said. IF his ex-
cellency hadn't told me to, I
wouldn't have done it. What right
have they got moving tables
around?"
What right coming in at an?'
said Joseph.
None" said Annie.
None" repeated Joseph. Il see
it like they have no right at all, but
they do it, with their guns and their
parachutes; they do it, Annie"
They got no right" said Annie.
What do they want with a table
in here, anyway? This isn't din
ing-roon."
