Australians Regret

The people of Australia, as mirrored by their newspapers, are disturbed about the question that has arisen whether Gen. eral MacArthur is being subordinated to Lord Mountbatten. Some, at least, regret the generals statement even though they sympathize with his feelings. The whole unfortunate situation probably would not have arisen but for the attempt, presumably without MacArthur's ap- proval, to build the hero of Bataan into Republican presidential candidate for 1944.
 After every major war at least one mili- tary hero has been promoted for the pres idency, sometimes successfully. But no hero has been pulled off the fighting front, in time of war, to win that high office. The very fact that general would divert his energies, at such time, prob ably would not only cost him the election but also decrease his popular stature.

 The recommendations that are now being considered to substitute fixed-price contracts for cost-pluG fixed-fee contracts have been suggested ir order to definitely establish percentage of costs. As mat ter of fact there are great many records of settlements that have been made at the suggestion of contractors who have reduced estimated costs and turned back billions of dollars to the Government. Naturally, it was foreseen that there would be frequent readjustments of price sched- uleS. Experience, and shrewd judgment, have been accompanied by honest deal ings with the Government in these tre- mendous war production arrangements in practically every case. The Government Administrators say this is true.

 WIRE.TAPPING
 If all the dictaphone records taken by the government, both by tapping telephones and inter- office communications, were put in one pile they would probably provide enough wax to supply all the radio stations of the nation for a year.
 It has now got so that every official talking over the phone figures that his words are being taken down on a record, either in the office of the man he is talk ing to or by an outside "intelli- gence" agency.
 Most prolific wire-tappers are the Army and Navy. But the other day R. s. Dean, assistant director of the Bureau of Mines, ran across a new wrinkle during an arugument he had with It. Col. E. F. Jeffe, assistant to WIPES Charles E. wilson. The Bureau of Mines favored the production of electrolytic manganese by the American Alloys and Chemicals Corp. at Oakland, Cal, but the War Production Board turned the project down.
 When the Bureau of Mines took exception to certain WIPE state ments, Col. Jeffe had the auda- city to admit that he had taken a dictaphone record of everything the Bureau of Mines said over the phone. Writing to Assistant Di- rector Dean, Jeffe said:
 'Tf you desire to listen to the transcription of the verbatim conversation, I will make ar. engagements so that you may do so.
 To this Director Dean hotly wrote back:
 II am interested to know that the office of the Executive Vice Chairman of the War Produc- ton Board has gone in for the use of the dlctaphOne without the common coutesy of advising the person who is called upon that he is speaking for the rec ord"

Brilliant Senor Concheso is both Cuban ambassador to the U. s. A. Minister to Soviet Russia. Recent he came back from a visit to the Soviet capital during which he presented his credentials to For eign Minister Molotoff, and ex- pressed the polite hope that he might also call upon Stalin. Knowing that Stalin was one of the busiest men in the world. however, Concheso did not press the point and actually did not eX- pect to Ses him.
 So he almost fell out of his bal let sea one night when someone tapped him on the shoulder and told him that Stalin would see him in 20 minutes. How Stalin knew the Cuban diplomat was 'en- toying the famous Moscow Ballet, Concheso did not know. In fact, he thought at first that someone was playing a practical joke.
 However, he was told that a motor would call for him at the theater in IS minutes, and he should be ready. Concheso con- suited a British diplomat, also present at the ballet, who told him that the man who had tapped him on the shoulder was the Rus sian chief of protocol, 50 he had better be ready.
 It was May, but zero weather in Moscow However, Ambassador Concheso did not find 1t cold in the Kremlin. Churchill wore a zipper-suit when he called on Stalin, and Mrs. Hull has been worrying on behald of her hus- band about the cold in the Krem- lin.) Only two officers guarded Stalin. One officer met the Gu. ban at the entrance of the build ing and escorted him to Stalin's office. There he was met by arl- other officer who took him the rest of the way. There was no pomp or ceremony.
 GENIAL JOSEF
 Stalin himself was not fierce, but kindly and genial. His eyes, according to Ambassador Concheso are deep and penetrating, but with wrinkles of humor in the corners.
 The Soviet Premier seemed sur- prisingly well-posted on Cuban problems, knew something about its labor laws and its economic questions. However, he was not familiar with Cuban-U. s. rela- tions and seemed to think that Cuba was still politically depend- ent on the U. s. A. The An1bas.

"THE BEST FIGHTER"

 Here's something for the men and women of that Chance Vought factory in Stratford to read with pride. It ought to make them feel that the part they are playing in this war is vital and well worth while.
 The 30 members of the famous Marine fighter squadron, 124. who have been shooting Jap pilots out of the air like so many ducks have come back to this country for a fur tough. They landed at San Diego on Saturday.
 One of their number is the na- tion's newest air hero, Lieutenant Kenneth Walsh, 28, of Brooklyn. N. r., who has 20 confirmed Jap planes to his credit. plus an additional six probables.

MIR LEWIS AND THE MINERS
(New York Times)


 The Connally-Smit act seems in practice to have been interpreted to mean that it is unlawful to "encour- age" another person to strike but not unlawful for person himself to strike. What natural conse- quences should we expect from such an astonishing legal principle? What we should expect is shat no labor union leader would openly advocate 8 strike, because that would be clearly illegal, but that some spontaneous" strikes, without avowed leadership, would openly advocate a strike, because that would be clearly illegal, but that some spontaneous" strikes, without avowed leadership, would continue to occur, because they in- volve no legal penalties on the striker.
 This is precisely the result that we do have in the Alabama coal mines today. John L.. Lewis tells the Alabama miners: T know how dis couraged and embittered you are because of the shabby treatment you are receiving. You are denied a wage that will provide adequate food for your families, while the coal operators are making the great est profits in history" After this statement, so obviously intended not to incite, Mir. Lewis adds that, how ever everybody should return to work. But 1t turns out that Mir. Lewis miners are slow to obey him.
 The practical results are precisely those that we should expect from the wording of the Connally Smith act. The pattern that the Alabama coal strike s following. in fact. is precisely the same as the pattern that virtually all strikes have fol- lowed since the passage Of the Con- nally-SIniEh act. It was the pattern Of the milk strike in this city. It was the pattern Of the strike at the Johnsville plant of the Brewster Acronautlcal Corporation. Always the strike is spontaneous. Always the union leaoeru declare that theS

No Tear Drops

Delmar G. Roos, engineering vice-pres- ident of Willys-O Overland, says that those antastic-appearing "tear drop" automo- piles won't be along in this decade, though they may in the next.
 What we should expect after the war are more efficient machines that will cost less to buy and operate - cars that are lighter, though not necessarily smaller; cars with more nearly automatic transmissions; cars that will use less gasoline, ride more comfortably and be easier to handle.
 Well, we can get along pretty well with those. In fact, we could enjoy pleasure ride in almost any old jalopy, right now

War Contracts

When the war was young the Govern rnent procurement agencies and con- tractlng industries estimated the costs Of production of war materials and ar ranged for the future re-adjustment and fenegotiation of agreements. That was practical plan to assure a swift turn over from civilian to war production. American industry, with only rare excep- lions, has maintained quality of produc- ton without wasting any properly usanle

sador explained that the Platt Amendment has been abrogated and Cuba now enjoyed complete freedom.
 Stalin also remarked that there was one American cOun-
 try, Argentina, which still co- operated with the Axis and Sug- gested that 1t was about time the United States took Argen- tina in tow and forced 1t to join up with the Allies. He was quite positive about this, and seemed definitely under the impression that the United States had conn plete control of the entire Amer ican continent.
 Ambassador Concheso explained that not only was Argentina dis tant from the United States but that the U. s. A. took pains to respect the independence of Latin American states.
 The interview lasted about 45 minutes. Concheso told friends later that he could not help like ing Stalin. One thing he noted was Stalin'S clothes. Although simply cut they wre of excellent quality.

tied with more planes is Major Joe FoSs, whose official record scores 26 Jap planes sent flaming from the skies with a number of other prob ables.
 As for the Marine outfit which has just returned, the Japanese call them "Whistling death," because of the loud whitstling noise their Chance Vought Corsair planes make when gliding with the throttle cut.
 These made-in-Stratford planes helped this squadron get its terri flying reputation among the Japs.
 And all members say that their new fighter planes are the best in the world" They point to their rec ord for proof of this fact. Against all the Japs they shot down, the squadaron's losses were three es their own members killed and Mx wounded. They are offcially cred tied with a total of 68 Jap planes known to have been shot down and 20 other probables.
