 WASHINGTON.-Before the sum mer is over, Adolph Hitler will know that he has a tough poker player to deal with. This is more than figure of speech, Major Gen. Ira c. Baker, Commanding Gener- al of the Eighth U. s. Air Force, in England, is not only a top- fighting flyer, but also the best poker player in the Air Corps.
 He knows when to fold bad hand, and when to stay in to the finish. This summer, with more air power than any other Ameri- can officer ever commanded at any time or place, Gen. Baker will stay into the finish. And he firm ly believes that the blow he in tends to deal will be decisive.
 For months he has been fighting for more equipment, and now he is ready to fight WITH it. Until now he has had so few bombers that the number has been strict military secret. But beginning now, he is getting so many bombers that it's much more of secret.
 There is lot of guesswork about where the Allies will stage an in- vasion of the continent-and when. But there is no guesswork about Gen. Bakers invasion. He has now finished with experiments, and is ready to supplement the RAF raids by putting great formations of American bombers in the air, three, four and five times week. He is prepared to carry such destruction to factories and rail lines on the Continent that Hitler's troops can- not move from one place to an- other.

Real War Cabinet" of
 President Is Revealed;
 Close Advisers" Noted
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 10. = Since we got into this war, almost bil- lion words have been written about the Presidents war cabinet" Com mentators have written reams of copy and spent hours on the air telling about how thin authority was spread; about how necessary it is to concentrate that authority in few responsible individuals.
 There were periods when this was so but out of the muddle of divided authority, the true picture of the war cabinet" is beginning to shape up.
 It started when Associate Justice James F. Byrnes was pulled off the Supreme Court bench to become Di- rector of Economic Stabilization. It was put bit forwarder when Charles E. Wilson was given added powers in WIPE that made him ac- tually the superior of Donald Nell son in most executive matters; and when Prentiss Brown was placed at the head of OPA.
 The Presidents war cabinet" to- day actually consists of:
 CD President Roosevelt, whose decisions are supreme in the mat ters of global war strategy, and in so far as the executive branch of government is concerned, supreme in matters of economic, production, labor, and manpower controls on the home front.

JUSTICE STILL POSSIBLE

OUR FAITH in the workings Of our democratic
" system was given q shot in the arm last month
when the international Brotherhood Of Electrical
Workers won its libel suit against the Mcclure
Newspapers of New York.
The union collected $25,O0O because the news
papers were proved to have printed sanderouS
lies against It,
We hope this decision will prove a deterrent
to the T. S. newspapers who have been attempt
ing to discredit all unions through the mlsdeedS
of few.
Organized labor numbers some 100000
members in America. In that group are to be
found all the sins and all the virtues Of any similar
group Of 600 people
The columns of the dailies would have you be-
eve, however, that business has monopoly on
viture and the unions monopoly on sin.
When a worker goes strike to obtain the
barest necessities of life for his family, the papers
say he is a traitor and should be thrown IN Jail.
When the Anaconda Copper Company WilfulIy
deflauds the u. S. by selling faulty arms to the
army, there is barely a slap on the wrist from the
newspapers.
Westbrook Peglcr whose chief aim in life is to
bait labor, has yet to expose the Anaconda fraud
in his column Only God knows how many lives
were lost due to the counterfeit wire sold the army
by Anaconda.
Yet with all the injustice labor receives at the
hands Of the press, it is hcartcning to read a de-
cision like the one in the IBEW case 1t fortiies
our determination to defend our institutions. 1t
makes us realize that with all the defects Of our
government, ustce-is still possible.
1t gives US hope that one day unions will come
