Lizzie brought Kathleen's
breakfast. She gave the two young
people a searching look, and was
worried. 1t certainly didn't look
to her like they were getting any,
where at all Economically. She
went back to the kitchen, slowly
shaking her head.
saOf course you know I was
counting on taking you to the
Country Club Saturday night"
said Joe.
Don't tell me you're going!"
said Kathleen.
"Pve got to-" Joe said. 1.-THE edi-
tor wants me to attend the recep-
tion-since I'm to do reviews of
the plays. He thinks the Chamber
of Commences reception to the
actors and actresses will give me
a good chance to get acquainted. "
"And you really thought of TAX
ing me-a stage-struck little
country girl?"
Sure. I can't think of anyone
else I would rather take"
ooh, there're other girls in Lin
ville," said Kathleen, turning to
her breakfast. "Girls who think
the peak of happiness would be
keeping house for a man like
you"
saThanLxso
Besides" Kathleen went on,
.'how can you do your picketing,
if you go to the dancer"
I'D be willing to drop that for
the evening"" Joe answered. 81
won't have to picket-when I've
got you in my arms"
In your-what?"
"Arms. Dancing, / mean" Joe
leaned across the table. as it all
settled-you going with DeMille?"
Naturally"
81 see. Mind if / cut in now and
them"
Certainly not. Only don't make
an idiot of yourself, please, if
Fred DeMille and Paul Pennen
break in on YOU"
"Oh, so you're counting on the
leading man, too?"
"Of course. Paul Pennell has
been very friendly toward me-"
81 suppose you think that means
he's dreaming of having you for
his next leading lady"
Maybe"

New Status
 Established
 For Air Arm

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Equali- ty for the Army Air Forces and ground troops was established for mally by order of Chief of Staff George c. Marshall. The step ap- pears to employ the principle of a separate air arm without actual divorcement.
 The manual governing the com mand and employment of air power has been in use quietly for the past three months, and describes land and air forces "coequal and in- terdependent," and neither auxil- iary to the other.
 Specifically, the theatre com- mander must not attach the army air force to the ground units ex- cept when such units are "operat- ing independently or isolated by dis tance or lack of communications. '
 Thus has been written into the War Departments field service re- gulations the principle already wide ly used in this war, which is au- tonomy of air and land forces in single theatre to coordinate ef- forts.

AMERICANS |NADvAN(E
 BY 5 MILES
Germans Leave Behind One of Wars Worst
 Destruction Scenes

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN ALGIERS, Oct. 20. Threatened on the left flank by the swift American drive that has cut forward five miles. the Germans fell back from the Vol turno Valley to a fresh mountain line, leaving behind one of the wars worst scenes of destruction.
 The Germans, in their retreat, will establish strong new mountain line anchored in the high Massice ridge town of Mondragone, six miles north of the mouth of the Volturno River, and extending 27 miles northeast to Venafro.
 The retreating Nazis burned houses, civilians were shot, livestock was destroyed, railroad were torn up, roads dynamited and haystacks burned to provide smoke screen for their movements.
 Devastation of the countryside and wiping out of civilians as well as their farms was the most complete yet encountered as the German fury toward the Allies reached a new peak.
 The new enemy line is made up of series of. high and difficult ridges with deep valleys through which pass the main highways from Naples to Rome
 Driving forward five miles north and northeast of Capua the Am ericans have eliminated the Ger mans last hope of making a stand anywhere south of the Mondragone- Venafro line.
 The advance has carried the Fifth Army into the towns of Pignataro, six miles north of Capua; Riccaro- mana, five miles northwest of Liberi, and the highway junction town of Dragoni, two and one-half miles northwest of Avignano. The ad- vance has put the Fifth Army Il miles north of the Volturno River.
 Attacking heavily along the Adri- atic coast, the British Eighth Army has captured the town of Petacciato. nine miles west of Termol.

Last A Hours BIdekesi oi War = Puts Sfdlin-
 grad in Shade

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 20.-The past 24 hours, in which the Red Army cracked the German eastern front defenses in major break, are the blackest in the war for Germany according to Berlin correspondent quoted in the Swedish newspaper Alton Bladet.
 He said that if the Soviet troops can follow up their smashing break through the Germans realize il cannot mean anything but catas- trophe. It will put Stalingrad ir the shadow, as the whole of the war reports since yesterday have given Germany the blackest day since the war started, even count ing Stalingrad.
 Tt is obvious to every German that it is the Russians, not the Ger mans, who have the initiative, and the Red Army force, instead ot growing weaker, grows stronger, pill ing up great troubles for the Ger man Army"
 The dispatch passed the German censorship There is considerable speculation here that there is more behind the latest conference be- tween Hitler and other Nazi leaders than was announced by German official agencies.

 A bomb dropped on one of the suburbs of London, and twelve per- sons were buried in falling debris but all were rescued alive.

 After the first 100000 barrels, he said, the price would increase 50 cents a barrel United States pro- ducers as a result would produce more oil in a year than will be produced at Norman Wells for the next 50 years" he claimed.

The W ashingt ion Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMs,or Robert 6. Allen on active dut'1
fThe brass ring, good for one free ride on the Washington Merry-Go-Round, is awarded today to Wendell Willkie.)

WASHINGTON-Wendell Wlllkle has inst launched what is regarded as his first campaign speech. Be- tween the Willkie who spoke ln St' I,ouis last week and the Willkie who battled that hectic l940 campaign against Roosevelt, there has Deei' a tremendous change.
 It may not be apparent rom a distance, but to those who nave seen him close up, it is quite clear that the war, his trip around the world. his conversations with such men as Churchill, Stalin, DeGaulle, Chiang Kai-shek have left def mite imprint on his political soul.
 You can see the change between the Willkie of 1940 and the Wlllkie of 1943. You can see that he IS now voicing a platform of his own, his real convictions, not the plat form devised for him by a pussy footing Republican convention which considered him as political pig-in-a-poke whom they could dis card if he didn't make the grade.
 Willkie is now proving himself a tough person to discard. In fact he is bear-by- -the-tail and Republi- cans can't let go. They found this out during Willkie's recent tour to pep LID COP state committees, which turned out to be one Of the most unusual political jaunts in recent political history.
 For, instead of vooing Repupl- can votes, he almost rebuffed them. In unvarnished language he told local Republican big-wigs that the Party could not come back to power with such time- -honored cliches as free enterprise" or back to nor malcy." He has delivered courage ous, critical and almost scathing lectures on social progression and what's wrong with the Republican Party. He knocked down some Of the most sacred cows in the Grand Old Party, yet with such frank and breathtaking charm that most peo- ple. while disagreeing. liked him.
