Reports Of Smig|Y-RYdz.
BEING in Poland Denied
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 24-Sourees close
to the Polish government-in-e -exile
today branded as untrue London
newspaper reports that Marshal Ed
ward Smigly-Rydz, commander in
chief of the Polish Army at the
outbreak of the war, had become
the leader of a Polish underground
movement.
The reports were published earlier
in the week by two London news
papers, the Telegraph and the Daily
Herald.
The government sources asserted
that the marshal was not in Poland,
but was believed to be either in Ru-
mania. where he went after Poland's
collapse in 1899. or in Hungary, to
which he recently applied for an
entry permit.
Official quarters also denied a
statement published in a London
paper and incorrectly attributed to
the Polish government that the
marshal had expressed a preference
to continue fighting the NaBis in
Poland.

Question Of RESTORING
Monarchy Dropped
In Franco S Lap
Letter to Spanish Leader
Given Urgency by Work
Of D'OrIeuns in Nc drid
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, June 24.-The
question of restoring the Spanish
monarchy, with Juan, third son of
the late King Alfonso, on the throne.
was dropped neatly into the lap of
Generalissimo Francisco Franco to-
day.
Brought decisively into the open for
the first time since the Spanish civil
war by a letter from Is leading
monarchists addressed to Franco,
the problem has been given added
urgency by the activity of Alfonso
D'Orleans, cousin of the late King
who has just returned to Madrid
after conferences here with the 30
year-old prince ,to whom Alfonso
signed over his rights to the throne
before his death III Rome in Feb
ruary. 1941.
D'Orleans, once Ford factory
worker in the United States and
later head of the London Ford fac
tory. fled to MarSeille with Alfonso
after the latters abdication. At the
outbreak Of the civil war, however
he returned to Spain as an aviator
for. Franco. He has resided there
ever since as both Franco sup
porter and a monarchist.
Now he is said TO be trying to iron
out one of the moot points of the
restoration-the Fate of the Falange
party and with it the question of
where Franco would stand in a
monarchy.
Not Pledged to Any Party.
Juan has been represented as
having told Franco he could not
pledge himself to any party. He was
reported to have taken no position
on the fate of Franco.
The pressure by the monarchists,
displaying their closest harmony
since the death of Alfonso. is so
straightforward that it appears they
are confident the issues will be
brought to decision in the near
future. Their letter, it was said,
demands straight yes or no answer
from Franco.
The signers-all members of the
claring regime that has no previ-
Gus alliances-such as Frances civil
war links with Germany and Italy
is necessary to guard SPANS neu-
trality and economic welfare as the
second front threat grows stronger
The monarchists, many Of them
wealthy Spaniards who were given
their chance for concerted action
with at least semi official status by
Francois restoration of the Cortes,
say that the Allies now would rec
ognize monarchy and that the Axis
would interpose no objection.
Juan Ready to Return.
After the war, they contend, both
sides would be occupied with their
own problems and Spain might be
left to drift into chaos
Franco consistently has declared
himself a monarchist with Juan as
the favored candidate for the King
role buteprivately., it is asserted, >he
has been critical of Juan. The mon
archists also say that Franco has
done nothing concrete since the civil
war to = facilitate the restoration
and even has banished at least five
Of Juan's leading supporters.
Juan answered birthday tele-
grams Yesterday and then slipped
off to play final match in the city
golf championships
Interviewed at the golf course he
said only that he reiterated his
previous beliefs the monarchy would
be restored and that he was ready to
return whenever a united Spanish
people wanted him.

WORDS OF WISDOM
FROM SEN. CHANDLER

Senator A B. Chandler spoke words of
wisdom when he said: Germany is on
the defensive and cannot win. Japan is
strong on land, in the air and on the sea.
She is the strongest enemy we've ever
had
The senator has Just returned from a
long tour of the worlds battlefronts. He
gave the upper house the benefit of his
observations, which indicate he was an
ardent student while hobnobbing with
the military great he encountered on the
globe-girdling tour.
General MacArthur's plan to retake
the Philippines is the best way to strike
swiftly and deftly at the heart of Japan,
said the senator, although it is impera-
tive that China be kept in the war by
reopening the vital Burma road supply
route.
Announcements after the Quebec meet
ing of Messrs Roosevelt and Churchill
and the subsequent appointment of Lord
Louis Mountbatten as supreme COM
mander of the southeastern Pacific area
indicate that concentration of Allied
strength will be made in China for the
knockout blow against Japan. An an
nouncement by Gen. Macarthur that he
would be willing to play any role, no
matter how subordinated. also indicates
that No. l priority on the Japs has been
given to the China theater.
Senator Chambers main objection to
this method of fighting the cruel enemy
(his true nature was brought out in the
story of the beheading of an Allied flier
this week. is the difficulty in supplying
bases in China.
'he Burma route is almost the only
way to send equipment into China except
a trickle by air from India. The Japs
have taken all the important sea ports
on China's long coastline, making that
method of supply impossible.
Chandler brought out an unhappy
note in regards the Burma India situa-
ton He said that although the drive
to reopen the road to China should have
begun as soon as the monsoon season
finished there He said that there are
no evident preparations in sight for an
immediate offensive there to retake ter
ritory lost to the enemy in the early
stages of the war.
Senator Chambers observations should
be taken as those of civilian, however,
and not as military expert although
he has had considerable dealings with
affairs of the armed forces in his posi-
tion on senate committees.
1t is nevertheless encouraging to hear
report on the progress of our plans to
defeat the enemy.

laps Term Wake
Attack as Blow
AGAINST Mainland
By UNITED PRESS

Japanese propagandists, appar-
emily still withholding news of the
American raid on Wake Island from
their people, said in foreign borad-
casts Saturday that the action was
part of "a frontal sea attack that
is being started by the enemy
against the japanese mainland"
In a broadcast beamed to South
America and recorded by govern
ment mentors in New York, the
Tokyo radio said "100-odd" Ameri-
can planes carried out repeated
fierce attacks on Wake Oct. 6 and
7, east longitude time.
NBC quoted another Tokyo broad
cast that an American task force
had struck Wake Island again Fri
day afternoon, but no other listen
ing post reported this version. It
was possible the broadcast referred
to the fact that the Japanese I'M
perial headquarters made its first
acknowledgement of the raid for
foreign consumption Friday after
noon.
Tokyo said the United States
plans to attack Japan by coming
directly from the Pacific ocean and
advancing on a line at right angles

pilots and planes back into action
with little more than a few hours
respite.
The night raid was the RAF's
l05th attack of the war on Bremen,
its first since last Feb. 81, and
the American attack was the third
by the Eighth air force, but the
big inland port never before had
been the target of 24-hour HAM
burg type" assault.
Bremen is the second largest port
in Germany and its granaries, flour
mills, oil refineries, .shipyards, tex
tile plants and aircraft factories
put it high on the RAF bomber
commands priority list.
Whether Bremen has been select
ed for the same systematic destruc-
ton that virtually wiped out Ham
burg in little more than week
remains to be seen. But the last "a
hours undoubtedly were the worst
the city has had.

Care Necessary
In Overseas Mail

With the deadline for mailing
Christmas packages to army per-
sonnel overseas only five days away
postal officials warned Imperial
Valley residents Saturday to take
great care in preparing their pack
ages for mailing.
Nothing inflammable, such as
matches or lighter fluid, may be
sent overseas. No chemicals or
compounds that may be poisonous
or injurious may be sent. Nothing
perishable and no intoxiCants may
be sent
The postal department asked that
items of clothing and food should
not be included in Christmas pack
ages for men overseas. Cash cam
not be sent because in many places
where Americans are stationed the
importation of American money is
forbidden. If you want to send
money, use postal money orders
which the army post office will
cash into money which may be
used by the men wherever they
may be. s.
Senders have until No. to send
packages to men in the navy,
marines, and coast guard.

EXPLANATION

Gen George c. Marshall, chief of staff,
explains what always happens when this
nation goes to war: Democratic govern
ments devote their resources primarily
to improving the standards of living of
their people. Therefore, when attacked
by nations which have concentrated on
preparations for a war of conquest, the
initial successes inevitably will go to the
aggressors."
That is true historically. 1t is justi-
fled within reason. Democratic govern
ments must devote their resources pri-
marily to the welfare of their people.
Our trouble is that we have not been
content with doing that primarily; we
have done it almost exclusively.
Thousands of mothers sons will be kill
ed unnecessarily and tens of thousands
manned because, for so long, we didn't
raise our boys to be soldiers. Let's hope
we have learned lesson.
