 NOTE: Later, Mrs. Essary heard about the Presidents remark and telephoned one of the White House aides to find out precisely what had been said. She did not comment as to whether the rumor of matrimony were true or untrue, but she showed great feminine curiosity regarding the Presidents comment.
 INSIDE EUROPE
 Swiss Minister Charles Brugg- mann, brother-in- Jaw of Henry Wallace, is probably the only man in the United States who has re- gently passed through Germany.
 He not only visited Germany, but also France and Spain. In France he found the people down. cast and downhearted. German soldiers on the stretes of Paris went out of their way to be polite to the French people, even got off the sidewalks if necessary in refer ence to a Frenchman. The Ger mans have played their cards cleverly to try to avoid French resentment.
 In Germany the women wore black, but no smiles. Many Germanys, Minister Brugg- mann found, would rather sub init to a British American oc- cupation than one by the Rus- sians. Higher-class Germans fear the Russians tremendously. On the other hand, 1t is sus- pected in some quarters that certain German groups might make deal with the Russians to run Europe together.
 There is more food in Germany, Minister Bruggman found, than in France. In Paris he paid $40 for meal for two people, and not an elaborate meal at that.
 Spain is in better shape econ- omically than at any time in some years, and seems to have recovered from the effects of its civil war.

 DAY yS. NIGHT BOMBING
 When Churchill and Roosevelt were in Casablanca, the British Prime Minister had a friendly argument with U. $. air gener- als regarding the feasibility of daylight bombing. Churchill was against 1t, arguing that the Brit ish system of night bombing was much safer, did more damage to the enemy.
 However, latest figures just re- ceived by the War Department show that Gen Ira Baker was right in sticking to day bombing. These figures show that U, s. bombers have knocked out Nazi fighter planes at rate ten times greater than the British,
 Here are the figures, ln July U, S. airmen destroyed 800 Axis planes, lost l0s bombers of their own. In other words we knocked we knocked out five times as many planes as we lost.
 In the same months. the Brit iSh knocked out I29 enemy
