Sweet Chariot
By Frank Baker. lCoydrd-

McCdnn.)
This is story written by a man
with a powerful Imagination and an
interest in metaphysics. While his
imagination combined with his in
terest conceive a novel entirely out
OF the ordinary. his style and his
logical presentation of imaginary
facts make book that is not only
readable but entirely credible while
being read.
In short, this is a story of an Eng
llsh school teacher who captures his
guardian angel and changes places
with him for month. The compli-
cations that both get into, one as an
angel unWanted in heaven, and the
other as man unaccustomed to
earth, make a very entertaining
book. The clipped, yet smooth, Eng
lish prose style is very effective. The
colloquial touches enhance the more
erudite passages, just as the rather
sordid descriptions of English pri-
vate school life furnish the contrast
for descriptions of the Cornish coun-
tryside. r. R. T.

NQVAtAAAJA AAQhA k2oG ~ - All moveable property and thou sands of civilians were said to have been carried off to Germany.
 Fires in the city, third largest In Russia, are visible for miles along the opposite bank of the Dnieper, Izvestia said, and huge pals of smoke hang over the power house and dock areas, as well as the fam ous Pechersky, Lavra, Russia's most ancient monastery.
 But the Germans were fighting desperately on Kiev's Perimeter a. gainst Russian forces closing @ pinc- CTS from the north and south. The latest Russian communique report ed importance successes" in some sectors of the Kiev front, as well as to the south in the vicinity of the Dnieper bend
 The Russians seized a dominating height in one sector of the west bank of the Dnieper, killing 1,500 Germans and wrecking 23 tanks and two armored cars in a day-long bat tie, Fighting repeatedly was hand to-hand, the cornmunique said.
 In neighhoring sector, II Ger man tanks broke through the Soviet lines during the height of Nazi counter-attack, but Soviet artillery destroyed all il within 30 minutes.
 Another 700 Germans were killed in futile counter attacks on a third sector. Forty-one German planes were shot down along the length of the front.

 flames of class hatred"
 Watt scored prejudice peddlers" who, he said, are constantly "insin- liating that labor is not doing It's part in the war"
 'They use their positions as vans tage point from which they join those who go labor batting" he ern- phasized. "They usually strut their stuff berind the Toga of patriotism and smear the American worker"
 Looking to the postwar world, the ArL official said, "the wartime wedding of convenience between the New Deal and financial "big shots" may have been necessary to secure efficiency in war production, but peace may bring about an abrupt divorce which will find the 'big shots occupying a position not in the best interests of the nation"
 He pointed to the fact that work ing people are not so confident of solving post-war problems as they now are of defeating the enemy, and stressed that the internal problems we must cope with are comparable in danger to Axis wiles.
 Watt said it is urgent to cushion the fall of many high-paid laborers who may find themselves out of a job when the war is over.
 "Deflation," he said, lis one of the greatest anarchists which ever threatened free economy. Unless standards of hours and wages are maintained, the slump in the status of labor will impair the whole structure. If we are to carry our present debt burden, we must pro- tect the values of goods and services from cut-throat competition" He called for "hard-headed plan- ming" of peacetime expansion, and said business must meet the chal. lenge to produdce for peace "even if 1t shocks some people out of their pill boxes of privilege"

CContinued from Page D will not have authority to make final decisions. Those will be left to the Stalin- Churchill-R Roosevelt meeting If and when.
 MT. Roosevelt probably eased Communist fears at his news con- ference yesterday in o carefully worded summary of reasons why the Soviet Union might not be ex- pected at this time to provide Si- berian bases for use against Japan
 Earl Browder, American Commurl- ist party chairman, said last month that talk of such bases was '11on- sense". Mike Gold. editorial column ist for the Daily Worker, New York Communist newspaper, suggested this week that publication of Japarl- csc atrocity stories were designed to arouse popular demand here for Si- berian bases.
 But there is no evidence of any administration intention to press the matter at this time when the Red Army is fighting Germany. When Germany is out of the war, 1t may be @ different story.
 From Washington's standpoint, the most significant subject to be explored at Moscow probably will be the matter of a mutually satisfactory policy toward Germany, including an understanding agreeable to Rus sia on the unconditional surrender" policy adopted by Churchill and MT. Roosevelt at Casablanca.
 The Soviet Union may be most trl- terested in obtaining another and firrner commitment on the early opening of an Anglo American land front against Germany in western Europe and in recognition of what appear to be her postwar territorial aspirations.
 Discussion Points
 Recalling that the British went to war against Germany in defense of Poland's territorial integrity, Eden may inquire whether the Soviet Union expects Latvia, Lithuania. Estonia, eastern Poland and part of Rumania to lie within her postwar borders. Hull's position, if the ques- ton comes up, will reveal to the Russians whether the United States regards point No. 2 of the Atlantic Charter to be in any degree bar to such a boundary line. Point No. 2 said Churchill and MT. Roosevelt did not desire to see territorial changes other than in accord with the freely expressed wishes of the people concerned.
 As the Allies extend their influ- ence in Italy and the Balkans, the question arises whether liberal and partly Communist movements or more conservative elements shall be fostered in restoring home rule.
 There is confidence here that these difficult questions can be ex- plored satisfactorily although there is some evidence that Hull may be handicapped.

 ton accentuated the threat to the positions behind the Volturno.
 Tough Thrust
 An Allied communique said Brit ish Eighth Army patrols were push- ing vigorously" westward from the Termoli area of the east coast, northeast of the Volturno line.
 Other forces on the central sec- tor, already across the Galore river, tributary of the Volturno, were reported moving forward steadily over difficult country.
 The Fifth Army, arrayed along the south bank of the Volutrno slightly less than 100 miles below Rome, again sent out patrols to the north bank to probe enemy defenses and consolidate newly-won posi- tions at the eastern end of the line Allied artillery continued to pour shells into enemy pillboxes and gun positions onA the north bank in preparation for a full-scale thrust across the river.
 Light and fighter bombers of the northwest African Air Forces lent powerful support to the Eighth Army, destroying a train loaded with motor transport in the Ter moli area and attacking road junc- tions around Vasto, IT miles to the northwest.
 Night bombers attacked railroad bridges and yards at Civitavecchia 38 miles northwest of Rome, last last night. All Allied planes return ed safely from all raids,

 Aranha and Catfrey flew to Natal to confer with Hull, and were scheduled to return to Rio de Janeiro late yesterday.
 Buenos Aires, Oct. i3-(Up)- President Pedro Ramirez req fflrmed Argentina's ties with the rest of Latin America in a Colum. bus Day address last night.
 The nations of Latin America, he said, "are linked by the com mon conviction that the happiness of the individual rests in the en- joyment of liberty, in the same manner that the honor of peoples rests in the exercise of their sov- ereignty."

 Petroleum = It is better to get oil to battle areas with the smallest possible risk. (The senators had said that American oil reserves were being depleted while British oil sources in the Persian Gulf were operating at only 60 per cent Of capacity)
 Trucks to Australia - shipments totaled 2I,135 in two and one-half years, all for use directly in the war effort, instead of the 30,000 in one year for civilian use reported by the senators.
 DenunciatiOn
 Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex, and Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky. spent half an hour at the White House after the press and radio conference. They had just listened to a bitter denunciation of Great Britain's part in the war by Sen- ator Allen J. Ellender. D., La, in which he asserted that the British should be reminded that the American emblem is a spreading eagle-not 8 goat"
 Some congressional observers be- lieved Connally and Barkley went to the White House to ask the Pres ident not to insist that the foreign relations committee bring out 6 postwar collaboration resolution at this time for fear it would set of similar criticism of the Allies in open debate.
 Earlier this week, the sub-com- mittee was reported to be ready to recommend Q resolution to the full committee. Some quarters predicted that it would be stronger than the Fulbright resolution which vas ap- proved overwhelmingly by the house and would come closer to Secretary Of State C0Fdell Hulls recent pros posai that the peace be kept by m international organization backed up hy Force.

''waterbury's Dependable stOre''
By ED LEAMY

1 New York.-The two winners of the Farm Credit Administration of Springfield, Mass, War Bond essay contest will be brought to New York by Station WEAF at the end of this month and presented to listeners on special program. Names of the winners will be announced soon.
 The contest. open to farmers offers two prizes of $500 each for the best essay titled why I Buy War Bonds"
 The winners and one member of each of their families will come to New York as guests of WEAF. After reading their essays on the air, the winners will make a tour of the NEG studios and dine in Rockefel- Ter Center.
 Mert Emmert, WEAF farm pro- gram director, will act as their host.
 The Army's skilled soldier-tech- nicians, fighting quartermaster who organize and deliver supplies and protect them with guns, will be interviewed by Parks Johnson and Warren Hull on Vox Pops broadcast from historic Camp Lee, largest quartermaster installation in the world, near Petersburg, Virginia, Monday, october l8 at p. m., EWT, over CBS., (9:30 p. fn., PWT).
 For the first time in U. s. Army history, the Quartermaster Corps, in previous wars non- -combatant, has the dual role of fighting and supply. Tn mobile warfare quarter. master lines are the primary ob- ject of attack by enemy tanks and dive bombers.
 Soldier specialists who have served overseas and are now back at Camp Lee giving the benefits of their experience under fire to traineeS. will be among the veterans Parks and Warren will introduce to Vox Pop listeners. Thrilling eye- witness stories will illustrate how the QM Corps utilizes every device, every method plus American genius for ingenuity in the task of supply ing troops.
 Fighting Quartermasters earned their name on Bataan where they threshed rice with one hand and shot at Jap planes with the other. They moved food, clothing and gen. eral supplies. slashing and digging their way through the jungles of New Guinea. They plowed through mud and vegetation on Guadalcanal with amphibian tractors. They op- erated mobile equipment for shoe repair, sanitation, baking and other essentials in the mountain passes of Tunisia. Wherever American Armies are deployed, the QMS are plunging through delivering the goods, over- coming all obstacles in the face of every hardship imaginable.
 Henny Youngman, funny man of Broadway and the Kate Smith radio show will head the roll of guests on Wally Butterworths ''Take A Card" quiz show to be heard over WATR and the Mutual Network, tonight at e:30 to 800 p. m.
 Candy Jones, Conover Cover girl, cowgirl from the rodeo at Madi- son Square Garden, and two ser- vicemen will also face the micro phone to try their luck at picking aces from Butterworth's deck of cards. Elsie Honey" Hitz and Jim- my Wellington help distribute the "Jack".

is the harm they are doing to the war effort" the editorial said.
 Talk Harms
 By creating civilian indignation and prejudice, they hamper pro- ductlon of war goods and eventually will hamstring our boys on beaches, in mountains and on the seas. The senators, of course, do not inten- tionally indulge in such nefariouS actions, but that is likely to be the effort of wild rumors, uncor- roborated reports and sheer non- sense flooding the United States"
 The Mail also charged that Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D., Ala, who Sum- day quoted the five senators in Q speech and concluded that the United States Is sucker" nation, made fantastic inaccuracies"
 The editorial said Ellender had quoted the British 1888 per capita debt as $l08 and said that 1t was only $l68 now. The Mail said the 1888 figure actually was $664 and the current per capita debt is $l,- 600.
 "such facts are known here to be distortions" 1t said, but the bulk of the American people are otherwise u1informed on the situ- ation. Hence, damage is being done. We are aware of the splen- did contribution of the United States to the war, and also are con- scious that we are not doing badly ourselves.
 "The truth is that all the United Nations are doing the utmost to win the war and those who hinder rather than help are only playing into the hands of the enemy"

abroad that contractors, particular ly prime aviation contractors and shipyard contractors, are consider ably overstaffed.
 Aside from the considerable cost to the taxpayer, unwarranted large labor rolls initiate against many relatively small plants, some of which are experiencing real difficult ties in supplying on schedudle es- sential equipment and parts to prime contractors because of the opacity of skilled help.
 'This is not good for the war pro- gram and certainly does not augur well for the postwar national econ- omy."
