 IN ADDRESS
(By Associated Press)

The Pope was quoted by the Rome radio today as exhorting the belligerents to respect the laws of humanity in aerial war
 The broadcast said that the Pope made this remark in an ad- dress to the 19 Cardinals present in Rome for the occasion of his name day, the anniversary of the death of St. Eugene
 The only account of his speech that was at once available was a broadcast from an Axis source which stated that the Pope said he was speaking "at moment when there are ripening the bit ter fruits of false theories, old and new"

Tunisia-and Burma

Philadelphia RecOrd)
 Two campaigns drawing to close this week.
 One-in North Africa-is a clear-cut victory for the United Nations.
 The other-in Burma-is a puzzling defeat.
 Purpose of the British and Indian drive into Burma, led by Field Marshal Wavell and aided by the United States 10th Air Force, never clear
 When it opened last December 19, observers in London and Mel Delhi cautioned against overopti- mism. It was not intended to be a-out drive for recapture of Burma, they warned But drove 50 miles into Burma, almost reached the port of Akyab considered minimum objective Now falling back. Correspondents in Mel Delhi allowed to predict that Wavell will soon complete withdrawal into India and have to wait until the end this fall before starting offensive
 Perhaps the drive preventive offensive , That is, it may have stopped the Japs from making their own offensive into India. Certainly, the Japs made no major land move in that area last winter
 It was year ago this month that General Still well made his famous admission T claim we got hell of beating. We got run out of Burma and it is hiiiniliatng. think ought to go back find out what caused it, go back and retake it."
 We still haven't gone back
 We should not allow our cheers for Tunisia to hide the fact that still have a tough enemy in Asia We haven't given the Japs a Cape Bon to make up for Bataan.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, JUNE 4

Mildly benefic aspects rule today. Neptune is in threatening aspect and there is an adverse sign to- ward night.
 HEART AND HOME: Young folk should find this a memorable date for social affairs connected with the commencement season. It is g time when romances new and old will flourish, but there will be more caution regarding marriage dates than has been general in the past. Many weddings will take place this lucky month of June, but en- pagements this month will not mean nasty marriages. In other words the real meaning of war will be understood and the earlier glamor will have disappeared. The year 1942 will have offered lessons regarding wartime marriages that mix logic with love in 1943.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Lend-lease considerations will be pressing on the Government this month and will be reflected in the business world to a certain extent. The large sums of currency in circula- tion and the scarcity of many com modities is responsible for more signs of imitation and the seers warn against speculation. The stock market may invite investors who think they can use foresight, but it may fluctuate most surprisingly.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Importa- tions of farm workers may cause apprehension, but the stars seem to encourage tremendous effort to break all records in agricultural production and that means trained hands must be procured. One of the predictions regarding postwar de Velopments is that there will be great influx of European refugees of many nations. Immigration laws may be abrogated for the benefit of the United Nations, or at least they will be more or less changed.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAI S.: Results of the visit of Madame Chiang Kai-shek to the United States may be apparent this month when effects of her personal charm and convincing eloquence will be demonstrated in greatly increased aid to China. The changed point of view which puts the Asiatic menace on the same plane as that of the Axis powers is due to the splendid service that the wife of the Chinese generalissimo has given her people, the seers declare.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of many events that mean good fortune. Emotions should be disciplined.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be highly talented but in- clined to sensational methods which really retard success. Both boys and girls should have artistic gifts and engaging personalities.

 GOOD NEIGHB0RS IN REVERSE
 U. s. censors have some wax re- cordings of overseas telephone con- versations which will cause red faces in the State Department. When the diplomats play them back, they will hear such words as Those perfumed in the State Department are about as Good Neighbors as Adolf Hitler
 The words come from a Chilean with a Yale accent, Armando Ha- mell, who did his best to cooperate with the United States and Great Britain in boycotting Axis insur- ance companies and then got kicked in the pants for his pains.
 What happened was that the Chilean Government formerly re- insured it's business with certain Axis insurance companies, Tokyo Fire and Marine, Munich, and Tri- este Generale This meant that the Axis countries received vital infor-

RUML TAX BATTLE


 The atmosphere of the final tax conference wasn't nearly so har- monious as Senator Vandenberg of Michigan and other Rumlites let on when they emerged, grinning from ear to ear over their victory in dodging 75 percent of the na- tion's tax bill
 There was hot flareup just be- fore the closed-door meeting ad- journed. Representative Jere Coop CT of Tennessee and John Dingell of Michigan, militant foes of the Ruml plan, protested nightly and served notice they would fight the conference measure on the House floor
 I'll never sign the conference report" Dingell declared This is one of the worst steals ever at tempted on the United States Treasury. I would have been will ing to agree to a reasonable com promise to break the deadlock here. but I won't be party to this out rageous bill. It is almost as evil as the Ruml plan itself and will work a terrible hardship on the working classes of America"
 Waving his finger at the Ruml- ties, Dingell continued: T, for one. am not going to take this lying down I'm going to speak out on the floor against this unholy pro- duct of Wall Street and I'll con- tinue to speak out as long as there's breath in my body. You haven't got me licked"
 Dingell was so aroused that Coop CT tried several times to quiet him. fearing he might become ill How ever, Cooper informed the confer ence that he enthusiastically in- dorsed everything his Michigan colleague said and announced that

the Jap submersible just as it was
beginning to submerge
Almost Immediately after the
depth charges were released, the
subs tanks exploded and ii emerged
bow first with a large oil slick

But the depth charges had dealt
the undersea raider a fatal blow
and within few minutes she went
down stern first.

in on some inside revelations about
the Presidents difficulty in bring
ing French Generals DeGaulle and
Giraud together at Casablanca. I'VE
made numerous overtures to both
sides with no success explained
the President. "Giraud was willing,
but DeGaulle turned us down flat.
Finally, in desperation, I suggested
to Winston Churchill:
"'Let's have shotgun we'd
ding ;"
Churchill got big laugh out OF
this. The President went on to
explain that he promised to pro-
duce the bride-Giraud-if Church
i'll would provide the groom-De-
Gaulle. Churchill said he would
carry out his end.
Finally came the day OF the
wedding" the President told the
visiting Congressman. sWe had the
church, the padre (the President
pointed to himself, the bride and
the gun. But the groom failed to
show up. Churchill couldn't produce
him. When asked what the trouble
was. the Prime Minister shook his
head sadly. DeGaulle, he said, had
changed his mind.
The situation looked pretty hope
less the President continued, but
then had bright idea"
who pays DeGaulle?" he asked
Churchill.
The Prime Minister replied Il

that. General DeGaulle is being
financed by the British govern

So Churchill put the matter up
cold turkey to DeGaulle, the Presi-
dent suggesting that he tell the
general mo come, no pay"
Believe it or not" added tn e

Why greater progress hasn't been
made in whipping the U-boat men
ace is no secret.
The Nazis. having no great sur
face fleet at the outset, put all
their faith in submarines. They
started early. 1t is estimated now
that they have nearly 500 U-boats,
with perhaps $50 of these operat-

BY the time Great Britain had

Nazi U-boaf Menace
Increases; Sinkings
Reported on Upgrade
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, May Capital
military observers are positive that
in spite OF military secrecy. we are
going to hear plenty about the
Nazi U-boat menace in coming
Military officials have admitted
that the sinkings in the Atlantic
are again ON the upgrade. One OBJ
server, not connected with the gov
eminent. recently described the sit
uation to me as the equivalent OF a
major defeat for the Allies. 1t does
TO that. II we can't get
men and material to Africa, Russia,
and Great Britain in sufficient
quantities, offensive action is held
TO a standstill The losses in equip
ment and shipping are just as Grip
pling as losses in battle would be.
How far out of gear our offensive
timetable has been thrown by
our losses in the Battle of the At

has been some disruption has al
