 NOTE: There is notable inc provement in cooperation between men at the top of the armed forces, but still lot to be learned by those lower down.
 PATIENT PUBLIC RELATIONS
 The Army is on the firing line in more ways than one. Col r. V. Fitzgerald works from 8 a. m. un- til 2 p. m. in War Departments bureau of public relations. At night he tries to sleep, sometimes without success.
 At 2 o'clock one morning he was reused by a phone call from a local news desk. The colonel sup posed 1t was nothing less than the opening of second front.

 The Navy has wisely drafted some of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI sleuths to help train naval intel ligence officers.

Frank Lowe, a Maine Republican, as its executive officer The New York publisher to whom Cordel Hull refused to give a war job because he had signed a petition criticizing the State Department for sending scrap iron to Japan is Cass Garfield, president of Harpers On her way from Hollywood to Washington to par ticipate in the Treasury's big bond show, denure Ann Rutherford sold several hundred dollars worth of bonds at each station stop. At Albuquerque one man handed her Sl 900 in cash.
 GASOLINE RATIONING
 Government officials dealing with the problem of mileage ra- tioning have eagerly awaited re- ports of the first months gas ra- tioning in the eastern area. These reports are now in, and although not yet made public, here are the official findings:
 The goal was a 50 per cent re- duction in the consumption Of gasoline. This goa! not only has been reached but has been passed.
 One oil company with 100 gasoline stations reported that sales dropped more than 60 per cent from the same period last year. Checks made at certain strategic points, such as the Hudson Tunnel, have indicated a similar reduction in traffic.
 Furthermore 1t looks as If by September 22, when the first two- month period ends, the rate or reduction will be even greater, since many people have not care- fully budgeted their use of gaso- line and now find themselves with only one or two coupons left.
 From the nationwide point Of view this finding means that gasoline rationing is feasible, and has strengthened the advocacy of ratloning for the entire coun- try-to save tires.
 HARTMAN VS STALIN
 When Averell Hartman and Joseph Stalin sat down at the same conference table in Mos COW last month they charted ways of defending an area over which they once fought.
 For the Caucasus contains not onyl oil, but some of the finest manganese deposits in the world, and Hartman once had 6 lease to develop them. The lease was giv- en to him by the Soviet Govern ment, and Hartman spent sev- eral million dollars on transpor- tation facilities to export the ore

NEW TRANsoCEANIC RECORDS
(Hartford Times)

(Hartford Times)
 Two items appeared in the news columns a day or so ago that add emphasis to the oft-repeated state ment that the world keeps getting smaller. One told of the recent arrival in the United States of an airplane that flew with Lieut.. Gen. George H. Brett and his staff from Australia to the United States in 36 hours and 10 minutes. The oth- CT was a west-bound flight of transatlantic plane from a Euro pean port to New York in 2l hours and 54 minutes. Both of these flights established new records.
 By sea Australia is at least a month away from the United States. By air, it is only a day and half away. Europe is practically a weeks journey by ship from the United States--by clipper plane 1t is less than a days travelling.
 Such flights testify to the im-

They were operating in Gen. Miles area presumably under his com- mand, yet he had not known they were there. The War Depart- ment had failed to notify him.
 Travelling further south, Gen. Miles and the Truman Commit tee bumped into a Signal Corps company engaged in interceptor work--listening for enemy air- planes. Again, Gen. Miles did not know they were in his corps area.
 At a certain airfield, Senator Brewster asked the commanding Air Corps colonel what he would do If a Nazi submarine was sight, ed in the bay-as had happened not long before.

 The colonel was not as dumb as he sounded. For he had no command over bomber squadrons on his field. They are sent from other points for practice training for a few weeks at a time, and there appears to be little or no correlation between different conn manders even when they belong to the Air Corps. This may &C., count for such incidents as when a submarine appeared within sight of shore at Jacksonville, Fla, and no airplane flew over

It Is probably true that the Government is not permitting any publicity on the most important developments, any more than we know what has been produced by the radio experts and scientists in all lines of endeavor, who now have freedom to carry out ideas that previously had been held in abeyance. Also. these records give new importance to proposals for the development of great fleets of cargo planes. If we do not pro- duce them, Great Britain and Ger many surely will.
