CORRESPONDENTS OPINION

Clark Lee Associated Press correspondent who with Gen Douglas MacArthur Bataan and went with him to the southwest Pacific, and also has the Japanese in action in China, believes that the quickest and easiest way to take care of the Pacific enemy is direct air attack on Japan from China and Alaska, rather than slow cam paign which entails recapturing of Jap bases in the southwest Pacific, one by one.
 Lee points out that certain American ir-minded sources claim that if started with such a cam paign today Japan could be smashed in six months They advocate sending hundreds of fighters and heavy bombers into China the fighters to cover Chinese army drives against air bases which are within striking distance of Japan, and to defend these bases The bombers would strike at Japan's industrial centers nearly all of which, Lee says, located along single railway line from Tokyo to Shimoneseki and Moji to Nagasaki
 Proponents of this form of attack believe that concentrated raids on factories, piers shipping and railroads would cripple Japanese production as to make the end of the war inevitable within a short time
 Says Lee: On the basis of my knowledge of the Japanese people and Japans industrial set up I agree that this would be the quickest and easiest way to end the war"
 The big knot in the plans, however would be getting the supplies to China Airpanes would have to be flown from India, as well as bombs and am- munition, spare parts and everything else that an air force needs It would take more planes such job than now have in the Pacific. With US. production increasing however that problem may not be too difficult to surmount
 direct drive against the Japanese northern islands from Alaskan bases also would play im- portant part in this proposed program.

which could be reached only by. trudging through knee-deep mud for half mile.'
 Conditions are almost equally as bad in Egypt, the Persian Gulf re- zion, West Africa and other places where U. s. seamen have been tor pedoed q
 Paddock blamed State Department red tape" for these conditions; told how U. s. consuls had refused to provide decent care and medical attention for stranded searnen, though they have funds for this purpose; how consuls had delayed repatriation for long periods. T
 The trouble with most of our con- suls is that they are unfit by back ground and associations to deal with people who work for living" Had dock declared. Their treatment of stranded and disabled Seamen has bordered almost on the inhuman." Naval officers have shown sim liar, snooty attitude, he added, fore ing seamen to sleep on the floor between decks of ships returning them to the United States at times when there were empty staterooms on the ships. When stranded sea- men in Iceland complained about , the concentration camp conditions they had to endure, a Naval officer angrily told them to go jump in the Arctic Ocean" if they weren't satisfied, Haddock said.
 NOTE: Recently the repatriation of torpedoed seamen has been speed ed up, due to the joint efforts of the Army Transport Service and the War Shipping Administration. Copyright, 1942, by United Feature Syndicate Incl

REPUBLICAN NICKELS

Time was when the Republican Party depended on a handful of money kings to fill its coffers. But that day is gone.
 Prank Gannett, new Vice-Chair- man of the Republican National Committee, is planning a nation wide radio appeal to American farm CTS and laborers for nickels, dimes and quarters for the COP war chest in the current Congressional cam paign.
 Gannett will dig into his own pocket to pay for time on network of stations to carry the broadcast.
 In his appeal for funds, Gannett will charge that the New Deal has let farmers and laborers down, is now leading the nation toward a dictatorship.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

TUESDAY. OCTOBER 20

U EkObh SS S1GAk ~
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today. There is a threatening sign for labor. The Army comes under planetary influences stimulating to intense activity.
 HEART AND HOME: Although i'll omens are positive under this configuration, women should bene- fit. It is probable that they will prove most helpful in industry, for there is a sign read as presaglng strikes affecting Government pro- jects. This should be happy we'd ding day if the ceremony is per formed after the noon hour. Wo- men now will take on the kindly work of comforting the sorroWful and nursing the i'll and wounded. Although many must accept tasks usually performed by men, tn e chief service will be that of car ing for the helpless and adminis- tering to the unfortunate.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Many er- TOTS in planning for war emergen- cies will be overcome this month when inventions, chemicals an d synthetics will add to the nations resources. The Government may move toward even more control of business and national services Men prominent in the great production program may be superseded or aid- ed by distinguished industrialists. There will be envyings and jealous ies, but unity of effort will be finally achieved with amazing re- suits.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Armed | forces will be increased by many thousands so that by the end of the year the greatest number of men ever mobilized will be in &C., 1 tion or in training by the United | Nations. This will mean many do- mestic problems that affect the manner of living Small houses and apartments will be in such de- mand that a major housing prob lem will be again presented, Tenn porary dwellings in countless ntm- bers will be provided by the Gov ernment. These will extend winter heating difficulties, since fuel will be scarce and costly.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Evil portents are seen as warning of terrible loss of life before the end of the year. The seers declare that mere numbers mean little when war destroys great minds oi the future-scientistS, inventors educators, poets, painters, compos- CTS and musicians. All that make civilization through knowledge ane ability must be wasted by the frightful sacrifices of a world con. flict which will retard progress fol many decades. 1 Persons whose birthdate it i have the augury of year of variet experiences in which it is wise t, safeguard health as well as wealth 1 Children born on this day prob ably will be kindly and sympathet ic, unselfish and affectionate. They may be too generous for their owi well-being.
