Use Of War Directors
In Hospital Work Sought
By the Associated press


RICHMOND, Va, May 28.-Use
Of conscientious objectors to relieve
an acute personnel shortage at some
Of Virginia's State mental hospitals
was suggested by the State Hospital
Board yesterday to selective service
ofncials. who agreed to place the
proposal before the proper authori-
ties for approval.
The plan would provide for the
assignment of approximately $50
men among the six State hospitals
for the performance of civilian work
in connection with their operations,
and would be for the purpose of aid
ing the hospitals carry on their
programs without being subjected
to serious impairment by reason of
the war.
1t was pointed out that each of
the State hospitals has a large farm
and dairy, and officials indicated
that if the project were approved
for the use of conscientious OBJ
jectors. the men would be utilized
not only in the institutions them
selves, but also in the hospitals
agricultural programs.

which they will feel to be at least
partially effective.
In sum total this calls for the
detention in Germany and in the
occupied areas Of very strong forces
of fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft
artillery and afraid precaution
services.
Nazis May Start Own Attack.
1t is not unlikely that in anticipa-
ton of this state of affairs the Ger
man high command may decide to
open bombing offensives Of its own
against British and American air
dromes and air installation in
Britain.
A good deal will depend, as to such
a decision. on whether the LuftwafIe
can spare sufficient bombers and
fighters from other fronts for this
purpose. In any case it seems certain
that we are about to see air warfare
in Western Europe Of a far more
vigorous and enterprising character,
and we may be about to observe the
first real test of what modern air
power can do under reasonably
favorable conditions.
The air offensive will not be con-
fined to bombing and counter bomb
ing. 1t will certainly include the use
Of parachute troops and air-borne
infantry. so that even inland in
stallations and airdromes will not be
safe from direct attacks OF this
nature. And, of course, at a time
made appropriate by occurrences in
Russia. and under conditions where
complete air superiority can be
gained, the opening of a second front
on land is mot to be discounted by
any means.
All in all, yesterday was bad day
in Berlin. The plans concerted with
the British during the recent visit of
Gen. George c. Marshall, our Chief
of Staff, seem now about ready to
be put into execution, and the men
who will carry them out are in Eng
land, the base from which the new
offensives will be launched.
One would not care to be the man
who must now make decisions as to
the disposition Of German reserves.
Germany has two-front war, with
all its pains and penalties.

The Political Mill
Nomination Of Senator Mead for Governorshp
May Solve New York Democrats Problem

Edward j. Flynn, leader of the
Bronx and Democratic national
chairman. That he will go along
with the wishes of the President
in this matter of a gubernatorial
candidate is regarded as entirely
likely. He might be the man who
would undertake to bring about
harmony and the selection of a
man satisfactory to all factions.
President May Back Bennett.
The Democratic politicos from
New York insist that it is going
20 be very difficult for the Presi-
dent or any one else to sell the
nomination of Mr.. Young to the
party. They are inclined to the
idea that the President In the
end will decide to accept the NOM
ination of Mr.. Bennett, who has
a good record in Office as well as
a record for vote getting, and to
bear down on the American La
Dor party to support Mr.. Bennett.
If that is not done, and it may
not be done, then the alternative
is the selection of some other
Democratic nominee. Two names
have been prominently mentioned
If that contingency arises. One
is that of Senator James Mead,
and the other, James A. Farley.
Mr.. Farley, who ran President
Roosevelt's first and second pres
idential campaigns and who was
a friend of long standing, is no
longer regarded with a friendly
eye at the White House. The
reason-he opposed a third-term
nomination for the President and
allowed his own name to be pre-
sented to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in 1910 for
that nomination. 1t is true that
before the end of the campaign,
Mr.. Farley made a statement
favoring the reelection of the
President. But that makes no
difference.
1t does not appear likely that
Farley nomination for Cover
nor would sit well at the White
House. Senator Mead, on the
other hand, has been a faithful
supporter of the President and all
his policies for years.
May Eliminate Bennett.
For the same reason that Mr..
Farley's nomination would not
be regarded favorably at the
White House the nomination of
his candidate, Mr.. Bennett, is
likely to be regarded askance.
Certainly some of the New
Dealers, among them Assistant
Secretary of State Berle, are op-

ain and the United States are
now equipped to start a major
air drive.
If a portion of the Nazi air arm
were forced to leave the Russian
front in order to defend Nazi in
dustrial centers against waves of
United Nations planes, the Rus
sian high command believes its
fighting chances would be greatly
enhanced.
Nazis Appear Worried.
United States plane production
is, Of course, a secret. But from
odds and ends Of information 1t
transpires that it is well on the
way to fulfillment of its goals. 1t
is safe to assume that we can
now spare large numbers Of
bombers and interceptors to join
the already formidable British
air feet in an air offensive
against Germany. This, in the
opinion of the best authorities
in Washington, should be our
answer to the requests of the
Russian high command to do
something"
There Is, of course, the posi-
bility that If British-American
air raids on the Reich become
more than a daily nuisance"
Hitler may be compelled to in
wade Britain. The United King
dom is now so well prepared for
such an eventuality that no one,
either here or in London, enter
tains any apprehension.
Whatever decision is taken In
London as a result of conversa-
tions between the operational
heads Of our general staff and
their British colleagues, there are
indications from the Reich that
the Nazi high command Is be-
ginning to worry about the Allies
next move in the west.
The Nazis know Americans are
dynamic and always willing to
take a long chance, if the bene-
Evening star., 1942-05-28

This pretty clearly indicates the
character of the immediate matters
which the mission has gone to Great
Britain to concert with the British
high command, and If any further
evidence were needed it is supplied
by the arrival of Brig. Gen. William
C. Lee, who commands our newly
formed corps of parachutists and
air-borne infantry.
The Germans will now have to
prepare themselves to meet intensi-
fed air and air-borne attacks on q
far larger scale than anything they
have hitherto had to undergo, with
powerful American aviation REIN
forcing and aiding the Royal Air
Force.
The United Nations possess the
inestimable advantage of a CEN
trally located base, the island of
Britain, at which their striking
force is concentrated and from
which it can strike at any point
over a wide area. This is an ideal
setup for the vigorous and imagina-
tive use of one of air powers most
formidable quaIties-strategic fex-
ibility.
Key to Success in Air.
This characteristic. if properly un-
derstood, is the key to the efficient
use Of air-striking power, as Air
Marshal J. c. Slessor, one of the
ablest air officers of the r. A. F.,
points out in his book, "Air Power
and Armies" 1t enables a centrally
located air force to strike at a series
of selected objective far distant from
one another and always to be used
with the maximum efficiency against
whichever objective is most impor-
tant at the time.
Against air attack of this nature,
driven relentlessly home with a vio-
lence and a continuity Of effort sur
passing anything We have yet seen
in this war, the Germans will be
compelled to take appropriate coun-
termeaSures.
The results Of the fighting in
Southern Russia indicate that this
time there will be no question of
overwhelming the Russians first
and then turning back to fight with
full force in the west, in the ira
ditional pattern of German strategy
This fighting is much more remi-
niscent of the western front in
1851, when there were few major
gains by either side and what gains
there were had to be paid for in
disproportionate price in blood and
materiel.
1t must be remembered that every
successful air attack against German
industry and communications 'di-
minishes by that much the German
ability to fight in Russia at all. But
beyond this there is the unquestion-
able fact that the German high COM
mand, however ruthlessly inclined,

By GOULD LINCOLN.

Although the nominating con-
ventions are not scheduled to
meet until August In New York,
there are three candidates (per-
haps they should be called pos
sibilities") for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination who
are said to have definite hackers.
The picture as outlined by q
Democratic leader from the EN-
pire State Is about as follows:
Attorney General John j. Ben
nett is an avowed candidate with
the backing of former Postmaster
General James A. Farley, now
Democratic State chairman Of
New York. Owen D. Young, of
General Electric fame and now
an upstate farmer, is the choice
of the President New York's
most prominent DemocraD ahd
many Of the New Dealers. 1t.
Gov. Charles Poletti is looked
upon as the candidate Of Gov.
Lehman. who has said emphat-
ically that he will not accept
the nomination for another
term if it is given him.
Gov. Lehman was in Washing
ton a few days ago and talked
over the New York political situ-
alton with President Roosevelt,
but declined to say what candi-
dates were discussed.
1t is obvious that unless some
steps are taken to iron out the
Evening star., 1942-05-28

situation, the Democratic State
Convention may become a hectic
affair. Presumably Cow Leh-
man will in the end follow the
lead of President Roosevelt if a
showdown comes. Mr.. Farley.
however, is a different PROPOSE
ton. Already some of the mid
west county committeeman, at
a meeting not long ago, have
gone on record In favor OF At
torney General Bennett. Mr..
Farley has many friends in the
Democratic rganization
throughout the State, and they
may stick to his leadership, eS-
peciauy if the President under
takes to ram down their throats
the nomination of Mr.. Young,
who, though highly regarded, has
never been prominent figure in
Democratic politics in the State,
or run for or held any political
Office.
Bennett Lacks Labor Party.
One of the arguments made
against the nomination Of Mr..
Bennett is that he could not and
would not have the support OF
the American Labor party. That
party vote swung the election to
Gov. Lehman in 1898, when
Thomas E. Dewey ran him an
extremely close race. That, how
ever, is not a settled fact. The
other courses for the labor party
would be to put up a candidate
of their own or to support the
Republican nominee or the Com
munist nominee, If the Com
munist party puts one forward.
Any of these latter courses
would result in the election of
the Republican candidate, a con-
summation which there is so far
no reason to believe would be
satisfactory to the Labor party.
Mr.. Bennett has been nominated
and elected attorney general in
the past without the blessing of
the Labor party. 1t is doubtful
if he could make the grade for
Governor. unless he had the sup
port of the Labor party and its
vote.
AS time passes, the situation is
crystallizing more and more. The
armies are on the march, and the
farther they 60, the more difficult
it is likely to be to pry them loose
from their particular candidates.
One man so far has held aloof-

They, of course, keep up their

which has been pressing Britain
and the United States for ac-
ton, would be satisfied with an
air offensive. In fact, they would
be satisfied with anything that
would remove some Of the Nazi
pressure from their armies.
The Russians point out the
fatal results of British and French
inaction after the invasion of
Poland in 1899, when no serious
attempt was made to draw Nazi
forces away from the Polish
front. At that time neither
Britain nor France had aviation

ing for Mr.. Young. The argu-
ment is made that Mr.. Young
would run well upstate where
Democratic votes are scarce. Op-
ponents of the Young nominal
tion, on the other hand, doubt
that he has either the personality
or the ability to make a good
campaign, especially If he is
pitted against a seasoned and
brilliant campaigner like Mr..
Dewey, who seems assured of the
Republican nomination.
The anti-Dewey, pro-Willkie
faction of the Republican party
in New York will have to accept
the nomination of the former
racket-busting district attorney
of New York County, it now
seems likely. Mr.. Dewey, &C
cording to all reports, can have
the nomination if he wants it.
There is reason to believe he will
want 1t. Mr.. Willkie recently
commended Mr.. Dewey's stand
in opposition to the renomina-
ton of Representative Hamilton
Fish, and there is reason to
believe that the breach there
may lessen in degree rather than
widen from now until the Re-
publican State Convention.
