Hoover Opposes Military
Alliance with Great
Britain and Why

KANSAS CITY. Oct. .29.-Herbert
Hoover is impressed with certain
lack of reality in the current peace
discussions and proposed that the
leading powers pool their control
and "a peoples peace be written fol
a peoples war" with worldwide
authority to maintain peace.
The former president said he OPP
posed common citizenship and cur
rency. as well as military alliance
with Great Britain as being both
unnecessary and dangerous. In
stead he called for collaboration of
all the United Nations for a COM
mon ground of national thinking.
He said
1--WE should discard all proposals
for a military alliance, as in the
past many have produced wars in
stead of peace. l am one who be-
lieves in collaboration and coopera-
ton between Great Britain and the
United States as the first necessity
for peace. but collaboration which
does not require amalgamation'
Hoover said he feared that legal
ties between the United States and
Great Britain might arouse fears
among the other ninety percent of
the worlds population of mastery
by the Engiish-speaking peoples.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.--Rocket
guns are on German fighter planes
attacking the Allied bombers, but
they lack accuracy, the War De-

Some Of these weapons may be
the defensive weapon referred to in
Hitler's recent speech when he said
weapons have been developed to
prevent bombing Of Germany" the

The War Department also COM

the Nazis are using aerial bombs,

'NAzI AR N Y.
FALLS BACK.
TOWARD BUG
Russian Army Pouring Into
Ukraine in Pursuit OF
Routed Germans
nv Associated Press

Germany's routed army continued
today to fall back before the strong
forces of the Soviets, reinforced by
tank units and infantry divisions
from the north, as the Russians
make their bid to bag something
like a million Nazis in the trap at
the Dnieper elbow.
The fall of Krivoi Rog, key city
of the German defense is expected
momentarily, if not already an ac-
complished fact. German forces are
retreating in disorder from the Rus
slams who have broken through the
line between Zaporozhe and the Sea
of Azov and are pouring into the
rich valley of the Ukraine. The Ger
mans are falling back toward kher-
son at the mouth of the Bug River.
The capture of Krivoi Rog, man.
ganese mining town. will effectively
bottle up the Nazi forces in the river
bend. Their efforts for the past few
days have been to fight a delaying
action to allow for liberation OF
these trapped divisions. German
communicates admit their desperate
situation, and report bitter de-
fensive fighting" all along the line.
Rumanians, living east OF the
Dnieper River, have begun an exodus
from that vulnerable spot, and are
evacuating into Rumania.
Red Army troops are reported to-
day to be plunging through the wide
steppes in the southern Ukraine, less
than so miles from Perekop, last
door of escape open to the Nazl
Crimean garrisons. Moscow says the
Russians are advancing at the rate
of IL to l8 miles day and will
reach the gates of Perekop within
a week if the pace is maintained.

IDLE SOFT COAL
Miners GROWING:
1900 NOW OUT

WASHINGTON, Oct 20. = The
number of idle mine workers neared
1900 today in IL states while the
President withheld any hint of his
plans to meet the new coal crisis,
the fourth in six months, replying
on news of conferences.
The number of idle soft coal
miners is expected to grow hourly
as there is dissent against the

Roosevelt Says All Ready

Of Agreement

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt said today that the
Moscow Conference has been q
great success, and indicated that
it is in the final phases where the
formal documents and agreement.
are being drafted.
The President told the press con-
ference also that he is very much
in favor of a Senate declaration
that will avoid war in the future,
and for the United States to COOP
crate with others, but didn't care
to say that the Connally resolu-
Ition under discussion by the Sen
ate is adequate.
Roosevelt asserted the net results
of the meeting of the Russian, Bri-
fish and American foreign minis
tiers will make it tremendous sue
cess, not only from the point OF
view of the definite items OF the
agreement but also from the stand
point of the spirit of it.
He added that the objective, OF
course, was peace for the world
and an end of aggression.
A reporter remarked that the
President seemed confident of Rus
sia's willingness to cooperate IN
maintaining peace" Roosevelt said
emphatically that he always had
such confidence and said he did not
know anything more than he had
two weeks ago about the possibility
of the Moscow discussions leading
to another Tripartite talk which
he, Churchill and Stain would be
principals.

BALLOT
BATTLES
OF YEAR
Minor New York Election
Preyiews 1884,
Other Hot Cases
BY ALEXANDER r. GEORGE
AP Features Writer

WASHINGTON Oct. 29.-In this
wear of second stringers playing in
varsity events, New York's election
November Q of a lieutenant COVER
nor. ordinarily very minor polit.-
cal fuss, shapes up as the ballot
battle of the year.
The outcome of that contest will
draw sbig time political attention
as a possible indicator Of which way
the 1914 presidential winds are
blowing. Several other elections,
while relatively unspectacular, also
are viewed as weathervanes to some
extent.
The Empire state, with its large
electoral vote, rates as the NO. J
plum in a contest for the presi-
dency. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. pos
sible COP. nominee for the presi-
dency next year, heads the forces
supporting Joe r. Hanley, Repup-
lican governor. The Dewey people
would like to pile up large major
ity for Hanley to show that The
governor has strong hold on the
voters of the state aid could carry
it in a presidential election.
On the Democratic side, the
forces working for the election Of
It. Gen. William N. Haskell are
contending that vote for Haskell
is vote of confidence in Presi-
dent Roosevelt as the nations war
time leader. Haskell's candidacy has
been Endorsed by the American La
Dor party, whose average voting
strength of some 100000 normally
comes close to being the balance
of power in New York State.
Warm Race In Philadelphia
While Dewey has said that he Is
not presidential candidate, the
possibility of his being drafted
by the party is not too remote. In
any event, the political dopesters
will view the outcome of the Han
Haskell contest as some sort of
test of Republican versus Democrat

Congratulations on the most glor-

give all my books and all the COL
umns have ever written to be in
your husbands shoes right now
When I look around at the pol
itical chickering's of Washington and
the way personal jealousies are put
ahead of the war, realize all the
more how great is your achievement
and how great is the sacrifice and
achievement of all the other Ameri-
can women, who are really bearing
the chief burden OF the war.
You women give birth to child
rem, you watch over them, you
cherish and guard them from sick
ness and accidents. you carefully
educate them. And then after
twenty years, you send them off to
war
l remember how Mother felt about
your two brothers in the last war.
She never knew, I think, that twice

I finally got into the Army. She
was hoping all the time that the
war would end, and very foolish
ly was hoping that it wouldn't.

War Story
Revealed; Thrilling
Event Aids Medicine
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ozone OF
the most thrilling stories OF medi-
cine in the war is how Lieut.. Col.
Arthur F.. Fischer and a gallant
crew of a battered Flying Fortress
flew 100000 cinchona seeds OIL
crumbling Bataan to bring quinine
back to the western hemisphere.
How Lieutenant Colonel Fischer,
himself wracked with malaria, lit
orally snatched those seeds under
fire from Jap guns blasting the
cinchona nurseries he had once su-
perintended on Mindanao; how he
ran a gauntlet of Zeroes in wheez-
ing Fortress with one motor conked
out to get them to Australia and
then took them across Nip-infested
Pacific to San Francisco, Is an ex-
citing chapter in war history. But
it wouldn't mean thing more than
a gallant wasted effort if it weren't
for the chapter being written right
now in Glendale, Md.
Over in Glendale Is what is
known as the Department of Agri-
cultures plant introduction garden.
1t is presided over by B. Y. Morri-
son, who has title three lines long,
but whose chief duty is to see what
important plants can be developed
for use in this hemisphere. If ever
mother hen had favorite brood
of chicks, the Mindanao cinchona
seeds are Morrison's.
All available space in the nurser-
les has been turned over to the
growing seedlings from Fischer's
stock pile. There still are hundreds
of thousands of perishable seeds on
hand which have been nursed along
for all these months and are still
to be planted.
Almost every day, new seeds are
going into the nursery soil.
But more important is that more
than 10000 seedlings have been
shipped to Peru, Ecuador, Ell Sal
vador, Nicaragua and Puerto Rico.
In addition, more than quarter
of million seedlings are maturing
toward the transportation stage at
Glendale.
The seeds brought in by Colonel
Fischer are the Ledgeriana type,
with high alkaloid content, de-
veloped after years of experimental
ton by the British and Dutch in
the South Pacific from seeds orig
inally stolen" from South America
by the British. AS matter OF fact
it was by bribery that Fischer per-
suaded a sea captain to smuggle the
seeds out OF Java for his original
experiments at Mindanao.
II you think this Is a lot Of fuss
to make about Western Hemisphere
quinine which won't be Importantly
productive before 1916 or A. think
again. 1t has been proved that
Ledgeriana Cinchona can be grown
in the Western Hemisphere more
cheaply than in the South Pacific
that is more cheaply to us at least.
The medical laboratories have
produced two synthetics but moth
ing has been found SO effective in
combating the dread results Of
malaria as quinine. War demands
are tremendous, but postwar de-
mands may be even more SO. 1t is
estimated now that China alone,
within few years, will need large
percentage of the worlds supply If
1t is to stop the disease there. In
India, there are more than 3000,-
900 deaths annually from malaria.

HOLLYWOOD, April 28.-I hear
tempest brews in the Paramount

Jack Wagner. According to the

On the other hand, the boys on
the West Coast want a highly
romantic angle tossed in between
Dorothy Lamour and Arturo de
Cordoba. l understand Lester Cole,
who has been developing the orig
inal story from the Steinbeck-
Wagner idea, has fatty refused to
add the romance. incidentally,
speaking of Steinbeck, he leaves
soon 10 cover the war for the
newspapers--so when he gets into
the big feud maybe this little feud
about his yarn won't seem inn
