 General Le May said: The win ter holds no hope for Germany because Iby spring the Allies will have destroyed enough German war industry, so she cannot fight effec- lively any more
 Le May, commander of the U. S heavy bombardment squadron con- tended the bombing of the Schwein- furt ball bearing plant, where an estimated 50 percent of Germany's roller bearing are produced, would virtually put out Of commission 90 percent of the enemy's war produc- tion.

at home, ask all of you to think about it carefully before you give. I ask you to remember that the USO is your share of what we are doing for our own fighting men and the forces behind the lines. ask you to consider that War Prisoners Aid does what no govern ment can do. I ask you to think of United Seamens Service in terms of the peoples debt to the men who took our ships across in the darkest hours of the war.
 And I ask you not to forget that the people of Russia, and China. and of all the other United Nations
 and especially the unfortunate, hungry men, women and children of all the overrun and enslaved countries-see in your personal and friendly concern the brightest ray of hope and the greatest power for good in the world today-the sov- ereign voice of the people of the United States.
 ask you, therefore, to give thoughtfully, and generously, and proportionately remembering as you give, that share in the Ma tional War Fund is a share in win ming the war and in winning the right of free men to live in a better world.

Gives Keynote Address 1T Campaign for COP
 Candidate

ST. LOUIS, Oct. l6 = Declaring he knew from personal observation that all the world looks to AmeIi- can leadership, Wendell L. Willkie warned the Republican party not to choose a presidential candidate who hedges and qualities, or whose record is ambiguous on the issues of the day"
 Willkie spoke in 30-minute radio address last night, considered by some to be the keynote address in his campaign for the presiden- tial nomination.
 You have heard men call me an internationalist," he said, with the implication that I, thereby, am less American I do believe in inter- national cooperation not because I love America less, but because I love her more" he declared.

DETAILS OF ATTU RAID
 GIVEN OUT
Only Da mage Is Slight Wound 10 One
 Soldier sEar
BY NORMAN BELL Associated Press War
 Correspondent)

AN ALEUTIAN ISLAND BASE, Oct. l6.-One trivial wound, a bomb splinter in a soldiers ear, was the only damage inflicted by the Japs in their first air raid on the Aleu- tians since they were driven out.
 Col. Jean Fogle, intelligence aide to Mai. Gen. Davenport Johnson of the Eleventh Air Force, reporting on the october 13 raid, said the Jap timing was good, with eight two- engined bombers striking just be- fore 8 p. m.
 At that period of the day the visibility is good below" he said.
 The raiders were able to escape pursuing fighters in the darkness which fell an hour later. Five hundred bombs were dropped in string pattern, he said, aimed at the landing strip and at shipping in Massacre Bay. Three bombs hit the land and six fell in the bay as the planes crossed from the south west at 18,000 feet. One landed neas house where the soldier aforementioned received slight ear wound.
 American fighters took to the air in time to count thf fleeing planes and get in one burst of machine-gun fire. An hour later a full moon arose to light the raiders way back to the west.
 The raiders stirred up American fighters as eager as beavers.

(heaiers of Public,
 Smoked Out of Hole,
 Found Cheating Govt.
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.--If you want to find rat who's cheating Uncle sam these war days. pump a little smoke down the hole and |you'll chase out one that lives by cheating the public, too.
 That at least is the conclusion sf w. H. Woolf. chief of the intel ligence unit of the U. s. Treasury Woolf is one ofs Treasury Enforce ment Agencies Coordinator Elmer L. Irey's boys, and his units ac- tivities alone are now bringing more than $56,000,000 year into the Treasury from income tax cheaters, to say nothing of the hundreds of millions saved by soaring the pants off crooks who would be holding out on Uncle Sam if the Treasury Woolfs weren't so active.
 Among some of the choice chis- elers whose cases have been writ ten off the books in recent months, Woolf lists card sharp, couple of blue-sky mining stock opera tors, Boston lottery king, a crook ed tax advisor and three Japs.
 The gambler was New York CT, who, Woolf estimates, counted his annual take in six figures. He's now serving 2ia years not for gambling, but for failure to give a true and honest account of his take to the Treasury and paying his allotted tax thereon.
 The lottery king served short sentence once before for income tax evasion,' but didn't learn. His second offense got him three years. Two Nevada men were the mining stock peddlers who weren't content with sharing their profits with Uncle. Tn addition to year apiece, they each drew $20.000 fines.
 What Woolf describes as "one of the neatest rackets recently un- covered by the Treasury" was that conducted in Ohio by an income tax expert" He lured clients into his office, got their signatures on income tax returns, collected the tax payments, then changed the forms to bring in greater exemp- tions and pocketed the difference between what he paid the collector and what his clients had paid him. One of the slips was listing $4O0 minor child exemption for an un- married school teacher. The judge gave him three years to think that one over.
 The Japs, trio of Joes who operated a restaurant in St. Pe- tersburg. Fla. might not have been caught at all if it hadn't been for Pearl Harbor When the alien property seizures were made right after that memorable Sunday, they found two sets of books-one kept in Japanese and one in English. The Jap set showed profit of $40,00O more than those set up for inspec- tion of their foster Uncle.
 It will be noted that with the exception of the Japs. all the wor- thies in this cross-section were, according to Woolf, playing other games of tag with the law for which they might well have been tapped out. Tn other words, when nobody else could catch them. the Woolf pack did.
 These pros" in the rackets aren't the only ones to try to cheat the Treasury, of course, but it's sur- prising how many times criminal action turns up criminal. Out of l12 criminal indictments filed last year, the intelligence unit got 107 convictions and nearly all of them were operating on the shady side of the street, not in legitimate

The W Washington Merry Co Round
By DREW PEARSON n..,o, Robert 6. Allen on active dutso

WAsHINGTON-The War Fro duction Board has just launcneo a new drive for iron and steel scrap but the drive is imperilled by the apathy of the steel industry i'sei,
 Last year the industry, worried threw everything into the drive spending a total of $l,8OO,ooo TOT advertising. for speakers, and TOT tbe travelling expenses Of schooi children who had won the rlgnt to christen Liberty ships.
 This year, the industry is not put ting up a penny. It would seem to he gambling on a quick end of the war in which case there would pc a sudden drop in the demand TOT steel and in the price of scrap. II inc industry got caught with heavy inventories of scrap, there would pe a big financial loss
 Whatever the reason, WIPE or ficials complain that they are not getting the necessary cooperation from the steel industry.
 The steel boys admit that there is a threatened shortage of scrap with a requirement of IS million tons for the last half of this year and an inventory of only about } million tons. And there is no ques- ton that the production of mu- nitions, merchant ships, and naval ships is far greater than last year.
 furthermore, shipments of iron ore have fallen off this year by , million tons, due to ice and the month-late opening of Great Lakes navigation last spring.
 Result of all these factors IS that at a time when the demand fol steel is at record levels, some oi the nations open hearth steel mills may have to shut down for lack oi scrap-unless the scrap drive really goes places.
 NOTE War and Navy Depart ments are lending their trucks anc men to help gather scrap in locai- ties where local manpower anc trucking are inadequate.

INSURANCE LOBBY

Here are two recent developments in the giant fire insurance lobby to persuade Congress to exempt in- surance from the antitrust laws
 CD the lobby is getting more in- tense: (2) there seems to be some mystery as to what congressman are really behind the bill.
 On the House side of the Capitol the bill exempting insurance com panies from the antitrust act was introduced by able Representative Francis Walter, Democrat of Pen- nylvania. But when high U. S. official went to see Walter and ask ed him if he realized the implica- tions of the insurance bill, Walter admitted he knew little about it.
