a LAPS AGAIN EXAGGERATED


 LONDON, Nov. l7.-(APl- Tokyo radio announced that Jap planes had sunk a large Allied aircraft carrier, two medium sized carriers three cruisers, and "a large warship", in a dawn at tack south of Bougainville. The claim is in keeping with other Japanese reports of heavy losses which they have inflicted on the U. s. navy, all of which the American authorities branded as gross exaggeration.'

What this country needs" to para
phrase Tom Marshall's famous bon mot,
is more hard candies Try and get EN-
to put in the boxes you send overseas, II
you don't believe it. A recent news item
reports that manufacturers can oegn
making hard candies in some quantity
again. That's really good news.
A generation ago when the family went
to town Saturday evening to do the weeks
shopping, hard candies were part of
the ritual of shopping. Father took
personal interest. Mother might pretend
that such triviality was beneath her no.
tice, but she was tolerant about it. After
Father had bought the kerosene, a bag
or two of grain, sack of cattle salt,
some nails. hammer handle, and a bolt
for the cultivator, and Mother had swap
ped the eggs and butter for spool OF
No 60 black thread, paper OF common
pins, a dozen safety pins, red halr rlb-
bon for Mary and a blue one for Alice,
a pair of stockings for John, piece OF
gingham for new apron, ten pounds OF
sugar a pound of coffee box of cocoa,
and can of baking soda, the family
gathered around the candy counter
Father liked the small, round, yellow
lemon drops. Each sister spent her dime
for the rainbow-hued mixture which came
in the quarter-barrel keg. Johnny took
five of the fat round cinnamon sticks
for five cents and the other nickels
worth in green, rectangular peppermint
pieces. Mother chose the Orange-flavored
flat disks.
Such candies lasted. A box of choco-
lates on the living-roOm table may pos
sibly hold out more than one day. But
ten cents worth of hard candies, care
fully hidden and used on regular
schedule, used to last a week. In these
days of enforced economy for many, we'd
be glad to see them back.

A FOURTH TERM FOR
MR. ROOSEVELT?
"a reader editoriaD

As a possible excuse for this letter
allow me to say that l am third gener
alton or so descendant of this country,
therefore evidently an American, not
very good one, just an old, plain-dirt
farmer, but still an American.
In view of certain rumors afloat, even
at this time, when all possible effort
should be devoted to winning this war,
it seems certain that movement is go
ing aimed at preparing the American
voters minds for a fourth term for the
president.
A motorist one day gave a ride to two
young soldiers soon after the United
States entered this war. In the ensuing
conversation, one of the soldiers said,
1--WE are not going to fight for democra-
cy. We are going to fight for the Repub-
lie"
Yes The republic which was fought,
starved, frozen and bled for by our pa
triotic forefathers For which, by Divine
help, they conceived and wrote the Con-
stitution for the United States of Ameri
ca These men knew by most bitter eX-
perience what tyrannical government
under hereditary rulership meant. They
for their posterity.
Oh DlTJil OllcH paint III
glowing colors the wonders Of their home
governments.
The young soldier said, 1--WE are going
to fight for the Republic" under which
we enjoy independence of thought, speech
and action
By now he may have bled and died for
it.
We people, like scouts of achievement,
may say, 1--WE made it. It's ours. We
like it. We want to keep it.
| seem to see some democratic editor
writing these words, in emulation of the
immortal ones of the gallant William
Pitt. Were l Republican as | am
Democrat, while single fourth term
advocate at large in my district, | would
never lay down my pen, never, never,
never
Some of we Americans wish to depend
on the patriotism of any citizen, that if
he be offered the candidacy for the fourth
consecutive term for the presidency Of
the United States that he will quietly,
proudly say, 81 am an American, loyal
to my country and obedient to its Consti-
tuition. In this light it is unthinkable.
NV decision must be and is-nO."
Yours truly,
George A. Cook.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS ONE?

Americas white-collar workers, those
individuals who fill the desk jobs which
keep America going in these war-times,
are being caught in vicious squeeze OF
ever-increasing taxes and stable salaries.
The treasury departments latest pro-
posal to raise money would raise the in
dividual income taxes by about so per
cent for these men in the lower income
brackets. At the same time allowances
for dependents would be decreased
"These taxes must be put into effect
to provide an effective brake against in
flation," say Mr.. Morgenthau and his
helpers.
What initiation for these men is there?
They are not earning more money. Their
salaries have been frozen. At the same
time. the price of the necessities of life is
continually going up.
The whole scheme is wrong. Instead
of making the income taxes higher on the
small salary earners, more vigorous
campaign to keep down prices should be
initiated and made to work
Or perhaps those treasury experts
haven't heard the old one about blood
and turnip.

PLENTY OF COP MATERIAL

(Kansas City TimeS)
The question most frequently asked
about the Republicans in 1914 has been,
where is their man?" The answer
might be that it is rare situation when
any minority party has an obvious leader
a year ahead of an election campaign
But a better answer for the Republi-
cans now could be that they may have
not one man but several men. In fact,
there might be slight jam at the gate
right at the last moment. The Stars
Washington correspondent refers to the
excellent impression created by various
COP governors at the party's Mackinac
Island conference last week. Included
especially were Gov. Earl Warren of
California and Gov. Raymond E. Bald
win of Connecticut j.. . Governor Dewey
of New York, who has been pretty we'll
out in the lead and Governor Bricker of
Ohio, who has been watching carefully :.
To this list could be added such gov
ernors as Saltonstall of Massachusetts,,
Stassen of Minnesota (now in the Navy,
Hickenlooper of Iowa-to mention only
the best known In varying degrees these
State leaders have Seen commanding at
tentiOn =.
This view of the party's governors does
not exclude consideration of Mr.. Willkie
as the titular head of the party today
and the uncertain factor of his power as
a candidate a second time. Nor does it
exclude the Influence of Mr.. Hoover and
Mr.. Landon and of congressional leaders.

The people will continue to turn to the
national government for help unless gov
ernors give them the kind Of government
they desire-Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia

has advanced between six and eight years
since 1910 and there are between $4,000

tary Harold l.. Ickes.

RED OFFENSIVE ENDING

MOSCOW, Get. (UP)- Soviet
mechanical forces broke stubborn
enemy counter attacks and expand
ed their bridge heads on the Pronya
rivers bank 25 miles east of the
key White Russian stronghold of
Mogilev today, but the three-month
Russian summer offensive appeared
to be nearing an end.
Only limited gains had been re-
ported from the White Russian
front during the past "a hours, and
farther south the Soviets apparent
ly had halted temporarily at the
Nazi Dnieper defense line to mass
strength for a new push.
Autumn rains stiffened enemy
resistance and difficult terrain
combined to slow the Red armys
advance toward Mogilev and the
companion strongholds of Gomel,
to the south, and Vitebsk, to the
north. Ahead lay swamps, hills and
numerous water courses.
ABANDON ARTILLERY
Though inclement weather re-
duced their air support, the Rus
slams lay down such an accurate
artillery 'barrage, the newspaper
IzveStia asserted that the German
high command ordered Nazi units
to abandon the use of fixed ar
tillery and mortar fire in favor of
mobile guns mounted on trucks.
Nazi field commanders also were
ordered to change the firing posi-
tions of infantry frequently so as
reduce losses, Izvestia said.
Taking advantage of torrential
rains which turned the roadless
terrain into q quagmire that all
but halted Russian mobile forces,
massed German troops and tanks
counter attacked all along the 300
mile White Russian front.
The Soviet high command said
the Germans were striving at all
cost to hold their winter line an
chored on Gomel, Mogilev, Orsha
and Vitebsk, barring the approaches
to the Polish border and the Baltic
states

Allies Block jap
Evacuation Try,
Wreck 40 Barges

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, South
west Pacific, Oct. 5 (UP)-Ameri-
can warships have wrecked a big
japanese barge fleet attempting to
evacuate troops from the central
Solomons, sinking or severely dam
aging at least 40 barges and several
! escorting gunboatS, Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's headquarters announc-
ed today.
The action, fought out under
cover of darkness Friday and Sat
urday nights in the narrow waters
off Kolombangara island at a cost
of one American vessel damaged,
appeared to foreshadoW the col
lapse of organized japanese resis-
tance in the central Solomons.
TRY TO WITHDRAW
A spokesman at MacArthur'S
headquarters indicated that the
Japanese were trying to withdraw
their garrison from Kolombangara,
now encircled by American island
positions, to Bougainville, more
than 100 miles to the northwest.
Surface units of Adm. William F.
Halsey's south Pacific command
| intercepted and smashed the flo
| tilla. despite repeated attacks by
Japanese planes attempting to
cover the barges.
One escorting japanese gunboat
/ tA hn ~
ber of others were damaged, while
the enemy planes hit one U. S.
naval unit, causing light casualties
A lone Corsair fighter raided
enemy barge hideouts on Kolom-
bangara Friday morning, hours be-
and burning two barges.
While MacArthur's communique
did not indicate whether the big
enemy flotilla was caught with
drawing troops from Kolombangara
or was intercepted enroute to the
island, the spokesman at Mac
Arthur's headquarters stated that
at least some of the barges were
carrying troops, and that casual
ties were likely comparatively
high"
! SINK 20 BARGES
Destroyers which intercepted 35
barges Friday night north of Ko-
lombangara at the junction of Vella
and Kula Cuffs sank 20 of the
enemy craft and later found troops
in the water, the spokesman said
An additional 20 barges were
sunk or damaged the following
night, the spokesman declared, and
a force of Japanese destroyers
which appeared hoping to aid the
barges turned tail and ran upon
their first glimpse of the carnage
visible under the light of flares
starsshells and burning barges."
