He scheduled a luncheon conference

CRITICIZED CONGRESS
Even before the evening confer
ences, Mr.. Roosevelt began his task
of jacking up the war spirit OF
Washington to the tempo of the
nation by holding a later afternoon
press conference during which he:
Let congress know through the
newspapers that he did not like the
delay in passing the anti-inflation
legislation he had requested, and
that he thought congress NEEDLES
| i war matters which laymen can
not understand.
Criticized some elements of press
and radio for wilfully harming the
war effort.
Warned minor administration of :
ficialdom to button it's mouth and
stop passing out informatio that
often is inaccurate.
The President evidenced full con-
fidence that the people of the coun-
try are behins him and not in SYM
pathy with his critics.

needed was morale instead of
morals" Mrs Roosevelt said she was
sure the Army would cooperate
with the U. S. o. as far as possible
in providing men in uniform with
healthy surroundings, but pointed
out that seme places have no U. s.

would drink, but I don't think

would like to know the truth so they

An increase in Allied striking
power, apparently indicative of
growing air reinforcements, has con-
tributed to a somewhat more salts

Nations in the Battle of the Pa
cific-and American arms have had
good week end.
The great and still continuing
defeat administered to the Japanese
in the Strait of Macassar by COM
bined American and Dutch forces
warships from our Asiatic Fleet with
United States and Dutch warplanes
has struck heavily at the Jap
anese advance towards the Meth
erlands Indies.
Here the Japs have suffered a
real diSaSter-their first. Upward of
80 Nipponese warships and trans
ports loaded with troops have been
sunk or damaged and the Allied at
tack was continuing most success
fully today, with American flying
fortresses reported in action.
One of the brightest spots has
been Gen. MacArthur's brilliant
counterattack in which he outwit-
ted the Japanese and broke up an
elaborate offensive which threat
ened the existence of his little force
1t was a superb job of soldering
and means a further delay to the
japanese program. In other words,
Gen. Macarthur and his minute
men continued to slow the Japs
down and give the Allies time to
get reinforcements into the Orient

to do Gen. Macarthur much good.

Increased air power also was ap-
parent in the fighting on the Malay
Peninsula, where the japanese are
pressing forward, but slowly in the
face of a determined defense.
In the European theater the Rus

says Hitler has fled from his head
quarters at Smolensk because of the
advancing Red tide. There are all
the possibilities of a Nazi catastro-

that with caution. We mustn't forget
that the Russian winter places limi-

on their enemy.
