 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMa,or Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON It looks like Michigan, which has produced such weird political phenomena as Father Coughlin and 80-year-old Governor Dickinson, was about to lay another egg.
 He is the rootin- -tootin, rip-snort- ing ex-preacher, ex-disciple Of Huey Long, Gerald L. K. Smith, now en- gagged in haranguing every cross roads in Michigan in his campaign to become the Republican candl- date for the U. s. Senate.
 The Michigan primaries are on September Is, today. And accord ing to current political dope, Ger aid L. K. Smith has good chance of winning the Republican nomin- ation.
 To Washington, the Rev. Smith is a familiar figure. He first ap- peared on the horizon with Huey Long, when that ebullient Senator was accompanied by host of bodyguards, camp-followers n d others interested in acquiring the recret of Huey's political magic.
 After he had sat at Huey's knee long enough to learn the secret of rabble- -rousing, Gerald went out to help Coughlin and Lemke or ganize the "Funny-Money" Third Party in 1936, and he has been haranguing ever since. Incidentally he gets part of his financial sup port from certain big business lead CTS and isolationist newspaper pub fishers who have leaned toward American faScism.

NATIVE WHO MADEGRADE

Eskimo Pianist, Lecturer Author Comes Home
 in Khaki

Nutchuk to his Eskimo friends and relatives, Simeon Oliver to New York concert audiences, 40- year-old son of the smoky seas visited in Juneau yesterday on his way to his homeland in the uni form of the United States Army.
 He is the same little Nutchuk, who 35 years ago was running around in his rompers at the old Jessie Lee Mission home at Un- alaska. and who attributes his start as top-notch concert pianist to "fooling around with the piano. at the old mission home as boy.
 Although he wouldn't talk about the khaki rompers he now is wear ing, (Oliver is visiting Alaska on confidential mission), the son of a full-blooded Eskimo mother and James Oliver, Norwegian, of Chig- nix, told a story of success that few white men have equalled.
 Reared at Unalaska
 His mother died two years after he was born, and the youth was reared in the Jessie Lee Home, since moved to Seward. He received high school training in Unalaska and left there in 1921, anxious to ex- pand his start as musician. After two years at North Central College in Illinois, he entered Chicago Mu- sical College on scholarship and proved his worth.
 From 1925 to 1883, his fame as a concert pianist took him on tours

Personal Popularity Of Mohandas Candhi
 In Washington Is Low
By JOHN GROVER (F0r Jack Stinnett on Vacation)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. = Mo handas Gandhi's personal popularity in this capital is so low he'd have to chin himself to touch bottom, but his influence has brought out one of the most interesting personalities to hit town in a dogs age.
 Sirdar J. J. Singh is an Indian textile importer, who has lived IT years in New York. He's president of the India League of America and an ex-member of Gandhi's move ment.
 Dramatically handsome and built like a varsity tackle, he'd visibly affected when he talks of his home land.
 Singh came here to plead for Am erican aid in settlement of the In- dian crisis. He's admittedly scared stiff of consequences if Japan suc- ceeds in grabbing India. Incident ally, he's the first to champion Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhi here. and he makes some telling points in asking for understanding.
 Japan, Singh reports, has made great headway in India with pro- paganda deriding the Churchill Roosevelt -four freedoms. Japan has cleverly harped on the theme that the four freedoms are only for white men in Anglo British minds, and that India will never be freed by Britain.
 Failure of Sir Stafford Cripps' mis- sion appeared to give point to the

 4-Motored Bombers

SEATTLE, Sept 15.-R ou tin e habits of the crews of a couple ol Japanese 4-motored bombers led them to destruction in a carefully prepared trap set by United States Army and Navy fliers.
 This is the story told by a group of Naval officers here on leave from the Aleutian battlefront.
 The study of the enemy fliers' habits convinced the leaders of the American group that the big Jap planes would be at a certain place at certain time.
 Lieut.. w. N. Thies, 25, of Wash ington, D. C., pilot of Navy Cata- lima flying boat, related that Army and Navy fliers got together and two Army fighters, escorted by a flying fortress, hid in the region where the Jap bombers were ex- pected.
 A tender was sent ahead to act as target.
 When the Japs caught sight of the tender they came in for the kill,' Lieut.. Thies said.
 Before the Jap bombers knew what happened, P-38 Army plane blew the first enemy flier out of the air.
 The second Jap plane hit for the clouds with the Boeing fighter after him. The Boeing went under the clouds and flushed the Jap out above a P-38 waiting for him up there, finishing. him off like mo- thing"
 No Japs have been seen in that area since then, Lieut.. Thies stated.

NEW THRUST
 BY BRITISH
 INDICATED
Large Area Is Taken for Military Purpose"
 on English Coast

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The British War Office announced today that all inhabitants of "a considerable area" east of Riding of Yorkshire facing the North Sea will be evacu- ated and the district taken over entirely for military purposes. No further explanation is given.
 At the same time, a Belgian news agency in London reported that German authorities apparently are fearing another Dieppe-type raid, and have ordered families out of Osted, on the Belgian coast. Only three hours notice was given in some cases.
 The part of Yorkshire affected by the British order is on an ap- proximate latitude with the Hell goland bight, German naval strong hold off the northwest coast of the Reich.
 This is the second such requisi- sition by England in recent months. The other is an area in East An- glia, facing the southern arm of the North Sea, across from the Netherlands and Belgium.

 Reds Hold Firm PILES OF ENEMY
 BODIES HEAP UP
(By Associated Press)

In a bitter death stand, Russian troops are credited officially with defeating the Germans in critical five-hour battle for the hill con- manding the heart of Stalingrad.
 As the struggle ragged for the twenty sixth day, the Soviet com mand announced that "all German attempts to capture this valuable .,osition have failed"
 Meanwhile, at least two other as- saults by massed Nazi tanks and troops have been declared repulsed in the -shrouded city, itself, in the northwest outskirts, amid perhaps the bloodiest fighting of the entire Geman- Russian War.
 Maxi Claims
 German headquarters reported tersely that the battle is being successfully continued in the face of stubborn enemy resistance" and declared that a strong diversionary attack by tank-led Soviet infantry in the north of Stalingrad has collapsed with severe losses to the enemy"
 This is the first intimation that Russ Marshal Timoshenko may have launched powerful flanking movement to sweep around the Nazi siege armies. The German command said that the Russian troops managed to penetrate Nazi positions in a diversionary thrust put were annihilated and hundreds of Soviet tanks were destroyed.
 Significantly, however, Hitlers headquarters claimed no specific gains in Stalingrad.
 Dead Litter Streets
 Russian dispatches said that the Red Armies have yielded no fur ther ground in the. city, and the newspaper, Izvestia, said many streets of the volga city were filtered with German dead. Four hundred bodies in the Nazi grey green uniforms were counted on the lawns along one short street after Russian bayonet fighters drove pack an attack.
 Other reports said that Nazi parachute troops were dropping in the city, and many German troops were disguised in Soviet uniforms. and German tanks were camou- laged as Russian. even bearing the Red Army insignia.

 Three British fighters were re- ported shot down.
 The Germans, likewise indicating that something big may be develop ing after the period of quiescence in North Africa, echoed Rome's report, saying that German and Italian airmen Friday carried out ''con- tinuous" bombing and machine cunning attacks on British tank reserves and motorized columns.

 Incidentally, it's about time that somebody stepped on these stories that American military airplane de- sign is inferior to Allied and to enemy warcraft. It's a cockeyed myth.
 The facts are, American airplanes in all theatres of operations have plus batting average. They've al- ways downed more enemy planes than they've lost. Operating with U. s. planes considered obsolete, the Flying Tigers knocked down q dozen Jap ships for every one lost.
 It can be said authoritatiyely that U. s. planes are more sturdily built than any in the air today. No other ships will take the punch ing around and still get home. Thil is a vital factor in war where trained flying personnel is ever

 As National Commander Stam- baugh tapped the miniature Liberty Bell opening the session, the 1900 delegates sprinkled around the spa cious hall were surprisingly quiet. There was no fanfare, no parade.
 Secretary of the Navy Knox spoke, telling the convention that Axis subs form the major problem confronting the United Nations, but that he is confident "in the long run, the monthly total of ships lost will be reduced to a point where the subs no longer will be a threat to supply lines for our selves and our Allies"
