 Were it not for the ideals which the flag keeps before the soldier, he would be no more than a beast in battle" he said

 Col. Baish outlined some rules and definitions for the correct dis play of our flag.
 He concluded, Tn the present world struggle in which the United States of America is now engaged, we hold to the ideals represented in the history and the promise of the Stars and Stripes-the ideals Of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness. Though many may fall in the achievement of these ideals, a noble and imperishable good will endure as a monument to their sacrifice.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-Two

The two, only members Of the

lighter than air craft, and Ensign
Charles E. Adams, 49, whose Navy
career of 20 years had been almost

Senators Approve
Payments Now 10
Kin Of Servicemen
Bill Goes to White House
Bookkeeping Muy
Hold Up Checks
BY the Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
The Senate this afternoon ap-
proved on a voice vote a bill per-
mitting living allowances due the
dependents Of servicemen to be
paid as soon as the necessary
bookkeeping can be completed.
It wipes out a provision in the
original allotment bill which
barred any payments until after
November l. The measure now
goes to the White House.
Whether the bill actually will
speed the payment of sums accumu-
lated since the law went into effect
June l was a matter of conjecture.
War Department officials told the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
that it would be a physical impos
sibility to make all the necessary
computations and write the checks
before November l. Chairman Rey-
nolds, Democrat, of North Carolina,
of the committee called attention to
that statement and declared that
the, bill would only lead to CON
fusion, dissatisfaction and disap-
pointment" among the recipients.
Urged for Morales Sake.
Numerous lawmakers have de-
clared their mail Is heavy with
requests for relief of hardship
cases. Senator Clark, Democrat, OF
Missouri, said some servicemens de-
pendents were being forced to rely
on charity for their living expenses.
Senator Clark said James v. For
restal, Undersecretary of the Navy,
had informed Representative Bull
winkle, Democrat, of North Carolina,
acting speaker of the House, that
the Navy could make its payments
now and recommended doing it for
the sake of morale.
Senate consideration Of the bill
to permit soldiers and sailors in the
continental United States to vote
by mail was postponed until Thurs
day after some Senators criticized
it and others asked an opportunity
to study it further
Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia contended the measure
would extend Federal control over
the qualifications of voters in the
States and "open the way to die
tatorship,' although he approved
the principle of enabling soldiers
to vote.
Barkley Has Doubts"
Democratic Leader Barkley, Ken
lucky expr .ssed grave doubts OF
the constitutionality of the meas
ure, already approved in slightly
different form by the House.
Senator Barkley said the constitu-
ton of Kentucky required the per-
sonal appearance Of voters at the
polls and expressed doubt that Con-
gress could legalize absentee voting
in States where it is constitutionally
prohibited.
Chairman Green, Democrat, OF
Rhode Island of the Elections Com
mittee said the bill did not attempt
to establish new qualifications for
the uniformed voters, outside Of
those set up in the various States.
Senator George noted, however,
that it provided for the voter to take
oath that he had not wagered on
the election. Senator Green said
that stipulation was required in
some States, but Senator George
contended it would be new re-
Quirement in others.

disclosed.
The Moscow conference, which w.
Averill Hartman attended as Presi-
dent Roosevelt's representative, fol-
lowing series Of meetings In Lon
don OF United States, British and
Russian military and government
leaders.
The belief was expressed that the
possibility of an attack on Siberia
by Japan also was discussed.
However, it was noted tf1st the
Joint announcement specifically re-
ferred to "Hitlerite Germany and
her associates in Europe" lending
emphasis again to Russia's position
as signer of a non-belligerent pact
with Japan.
Speculation on Aid.
Meanwhile, speculation on what
the United States and Britain might
have undertaken to do to aid Russia
ranged here around three possible
moves.
l. Invasion of Norway to safe
guard the Murmansk supply route
and establish a common front with
Russia in the north.
2. Increase of air attacks on Ger
many to cripple her war production
while at the same time building up
the flow of supplies to Russia by
all routes.
8. Invasion of Europe in series
Of operations from Norway to Italy
to ease the strain on the Red Army.
The presence of both Gen. Sir
Alan Francis Brooke, chief of the
British imperial general staff, and
Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, Brit
ish commander in India, indicated
extraordinary scope to the military
side of the Moscow conferences.
Gen. Brooke is commander Of the
British home army which would
spearhead any Allied invasion Of
the continent. while Gen. Wavell,
in India, guards the last main
Allied bastion separating the op-
posite ends of the Axis-the Jap
anese in Burma and the Germans
in the Caucasus.
Envisioned as Main Theater.
Gen. Wavell predicted last Mo-
vember that the Caucasus and Iran
might we'll be the main theater Of
the war this year when and If the
Germans struck out for oil.
There have been persistent re-
ports of the presence Of increasing
number of British and United
States forces and supplies in India,
Iraq and Iran.
What Mr.. Churchill and Mr..
Roosevelt talked about and decided
at their June meeting no doubt was
discussed fully with Stain, and 1t
was the basis of what the United
States and Britain can offer Russia
in the way of war material or diver
sionary action that the decisions In
Moscow were reached.
