The old japanese weakness Of

his experiences in sinking an enemy

planned that he was mad-putting
it mildly-because the Japanese had
damaged his carrier in August. He
had been searching for an oppor-
tunity to square accounts when he
sighted the Japanese carrier Zuikaku
one day.
The sun was in his favor and the
Japs didn't see him at first, so he
pointed his plane down the yellow
shaft OF sunlight straight at the
enemy vessel. At 1900 feet he
dropped two 500-pound "eggs" and
both were bulls-eyes. Planes on the
carriers deck were blown to splinters
and the ship belched flames.

But the McCormicks always try
to brush big things OF by giving
them tiny little names. In the spe-
cial, private talk of their lodge, the
worlds hunger for collective secur-
ity is "a New Deal idea" They are
forever studying large issues
through reducing glasses.
Never Sees 1t Big"
When Willkie offers to run against
Mccormick in the Illinois primaries,
to test out the issue of international
collaboration, Col. Mccormick de-
clares that this is an effort by
w. w. to get his name In the
papers" He never sees it big If he
can manage to see 1t little.
Thus the colonel and his friends,
staring furiously at this blessed,
amazing and unexpected world
through the wrong end of tele-
scope, discover that plans for inn
proved world trade are really plans
to force milk on Hottentots."
The colonel has turned the same
inverted telescope on the war in
the Pacific. and he reports happily
that "Roosevelt's in q hell of q po-
sition. If Macarthur wins q great
victory, he will be President. If he
doesn't win one, it will be because
Roosevelt has not given him SUM-

And at night, in his study. he
counts electoral votes, letting them
ripple through his fingers. A few
more in Kansas and New Jersey,
and the whole world can be made
to stand still and then go backward.
But I am afraid the colonel and
his friends are not going to be able
to brush of this New York meeting
of Republicans. They can call 1t a
meeting of a Willkie outfit II they
like. 1 think 1t was a branch meet
ing of the human race.
The Republican Party is splitting.
Men like Senator Austin of Ver-
mont. Representative Wadsworth of
New York. Gov. Baldwin of Connec-

with the national leadership. And as
they break, their party becomes ex-
citing again, human, real. 1t is COM
ing out Of the hotel room and the
smoking car, into life. 1t breathes!
And it will continue to breathe,
even though the colonel, examining
it carefully through a stove-lid, will
describe it all as a conspiracy.

boeing Aircraft Workers
Reject 10-Hour Shifts

SEATTLE, July 24.-Workers at
Boeing Aircraft Co. have rejected
almost unanimously" a proposal
for two 10-hour shifts, President
Harold J. Gibson of the local Aero
nautical Mechanics Union (AFL)
said today.
The change from three shifts daily
was recommended by the company,
the War Production Board and the
unions district council. Company
off1cials contended 1t would increase
production because total skilled per-
sonnel would put in 20 per cent
more man-hours.
Consensus of the membership"

refusal Of the National War Labor
Board to grant living swage to
Boeing workers Is the direct cause of
the present manpower shortages and
the resulting production lag at

to methods borrowed from
Falangists and Fascists. In the
circumstances, how could they
afford to remain blind to the
merits Of the Spanish national
revolution?
Such must have been Gen.
frances trend Of thought when
it dawned on him that America
might be induced to have hand
in the reorganization Of the
Spanish army. But, even accord
ing to his own fantastic calcula-
tions, he started too soon.
Picture Is Different.
In that story, the arresting
point is that picture Of Spanish
policy Is being brought forth
which widely differs from what
Spanish policy was, or was sup
posed to be, only some five
months ago by military observers
close ut hand.
I am told that when the Amer
lean commander in chief took
the momentous decision not to
delay any longer the attack on
Germans and Italians in North
Africa and had to shift great
bodies from Morocco to Tunisia,
bigger risks perhaps were in
CURED than was generally be-
lived at the time. There was
the danger that the troops
gathered in Spanish Morocco
might be ordered to pass the
border and plunge headlong into
some adventurous move.
For months Col. Beigbeder, q
former minister of Franco and
high commissioner in Morocco,
has served in Washington on the
Spanish military mission. The
colonels pro-French leanings
were only obscured In the past
by growing fear Of Communist
Russia. All agree that he has
been carefully planted by the
dictator In American surround-
ings to make friends and quietly
slip into ministerial Office on the
day when Hitler and his con-
quests crumble down.
Tactical Purpose Seen.
The people around him have
never conceded that, in his opin-
ion, the House of Bourbon must
be called back to the throne 50
the period Of civil war and es-
arrangement from the Western
world be terminated for good.
Col. Beigbeder's personal sin
cerity cannot be doubted. But IS
not the scheme of monarchic re-
vival dangled before the Allies for
tactical purposes? In his public
address to the Falange, on July
II, Gen. Franco declared that the
monarchy could not return ex-
cept in subordination to that
Single party" To his princely
visitor, behind closed doors, he
did not even say so much.

Leader of the House John Nc
Cormack has issued a statement
speaking respectfully of the re-
cent meeting Of the Republican
Postwar Policy Association in
New York.
What undoubtedly intrigued
Mr.. Mccormack was the bitter
language used by few of those
attending the meeting and the
suggestion that If the kind of
a candidate favored by them
should not be nominated by the
Republican convention next year,
their only recourse would be to
vote for a fourth term for Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Meeting Set Tuesday.
Furthermore, the Postwar Pol
icy Association adopted a resolu-
ton directing its chairman,
Deneen Watson, Chicago attor-
ney, to call on chairman Spang-
Ter of the Republican National
Committee and demand that the
Republican Postwar Council, ap-
pointed by Mr.. Spangler some
time ago, hurry up and adopt a
foreign policy in conformity with
that of the associa ton. Mr..
Spangler has announced he will
receive Mr. Watson gladly. The
meeting will take place Tuesday.
At the same time, it Is an
nounced by Chairman Spangler
that the postwar council, COM
posed of the "a Republican Gov
ernors, Senators, Representatives
and members Of the National
Committee, will meet September
and 7 on Mackinac Island,
Mich. There and then it is pro-
posed to outline, as nearly as
possible, a postwar foreign policy
and q postwar domestic policy on
which the Republican Party can
stand in the national campaign
next year.
Whether the foreign policy
which the council writes will sat
isfy the association remains to
be seen. What the Democrats
hope is that it will not, and that
the way will be opened for a con-
flict within the Republican Party
OF no mean proportions. Mr..
Mccormack, in his statement,
said that the Democrats and In
dependents now fighting for
some kind of an international
agency to prevent future wars,
or to enforce peace, welcome" the
efforts Of the association to steer
the COP away from isolationism.
The majority leader went on
to say, however, that the Ameri-
can people cannot expect from
the majority of Republicans in
Congress, and from majority of
the Republican leaders outside
of Congress any measure of real
international cooperation.
Mccormack Seeks Recruits.
Under these circumstances"
he concluded. there is one step
Republicans and Independents
can take who want action, and

ID 'A|esandro Receives
Dr.. CouIter's S Plan 10
Control tuberculosis

The House District Committee
today was in possession of a report
containing seven suggestions filed
by DR.. A. Barklie Coulter, director of
the Bureau of Tuberculosis, on May
70. and submitted by DR.. George C..
Rutland, District health Officer, in
compliance with a request made by
Chairman DAlesandro OF a House
District subcommittee.
DR.. Coulter's suggestions, all of
which do hot carry the approval of
both DR.. Rutland and Commission
er Guy Mason, it was emphasized,
deal with a long-range program
which Dr. Coulter feels Should be
put into effect at the earliest pos
sible date" Some, he explained,
cannot be carried out until the post
war period because Of materials
shortages.
Representative D'Aleasandro pro-
poses to consider these suggestions
in connection with the drafting of
public health legislation, designed
especially to check the spread of
tuberculosis. DR.. Rutland said these
suggestions represent only the per-
sonal suggestions Of DR.. Coulter"
One recommendation is that the
District should have a 40-bed de-
tention hospital for tuberculosis pa
tients who refuse treatment, when
their condition might spread the
disease. DR.. Rutland said the en-
phasis should be placed on educa-
tion and that the Health Depart
ment should not be placed in the
position of using police powers.
DR.. Rutland also took exception
to suggestion that the D'Alesandro
Subcommittee should have hearings
every six months on the health
situation to see If the recommends
ton had been followed.
A third recommendation was that
q single health official should be
placed in complete control of policies
in tuberculosis work. DR.. Ruhland
pointed out that this would include
the administration OF Glen Dale
Sanitorium and Gallinger Tuber-
culosis Hospital. and that such a
course would be definitely not
practical"
DR.. Coulter also recommended
chest X-rays OF inmates of the Dis
trict Jail, homes for the INDECENT,
Federal and District employees. in
cluding school teachers, and of all
persons admitted to municipal hos
pitals whenever feasible.

The Political Mill :

that is to come into the ranks of
the Democratic Party and help
accomplish this great human ef-
fort"
The Republican Party must 90
to the country next year with =
plain statement regarding post
war foreign policy. 1t cannot af-
ford to straddle this issue, which
will be not only important in the
political campaign but Of vast
importance to the American peo-
pie after the war shall have been
won.
The Postwar Policy Associa-
ton, which had its origin in the
Middle West, in the past consid-
cred the hotbed of isolationism,
is doing a good job in seeking to
get the COP from It's traditional
stand Of the '20s and the '3Os.
It can be of real service. But 1t
can also do much to hamstring
the party if 1t Is unwilling to
come to reasonable under
standing with the postwar coun.
Gil.
In some quarters it has been
charged that the postwar associ-
alton is, In reality. merely an Or
sanization to bring about the
nomination OF Wendell L. Willkie
for President. This has been de-
MED by members Of the associ-
ation-although some Of the
principal figures at the recent
meeting are known to be strongly
in favor Of the nomination of the
Hoosier-New Yorker. Indeed, it
was suggested that of all the Re-
publican presidential possibilities
only two now appear to flt the
picture as the association sees it.
They are Mr.. Willkie and for
hiN WV. otdSSCll VI M1llllcSOld,
now in the Navy. II the associ-
alton spreads to every State, with
a State Committee, as it has been
planned, it could easily become
an agency in support of a partic-
ular candidate for the nominal
ton, unless it is willing merely to
fight for principle and let the
question of candidates alone.
Credit Deserved.
Mr.. Willkie deserves the credit
for carrying the torch in the
movement to get the Republican
party away from isolationism.
He made his position clear, long
before this country entered the
war. He has spoken and written
in support Of international CO.
operation by this country times
without number. His supporters,
however, are unwilling to accept
it as fact that any other Re-
publican, il he has presidential
possibilities, can also be whole
heartedly in favor of having this
country work with other nations
after the war to preserve peace.
The postwar policy OF this
country and this Government is
not limited to foreign policy.
There are tremendous domestic
issues involved. The Repub-
licans must deal with them. It
is on many Of these issues that
the Democrats find themselves
divided.
If there is danger to the COP
that some Republicans will go
over to the Roosevelt standard
on the foreign issue, there IS
even more danger to the DEM
ocratic party that its members
will flock to the Republican
standard on domestic issues.
What this country will need
vitally after this war is ended is a
good administrator in the White
House. The job Of changing from
a wartime economy to a peace
time one will be enormous. It Is
a matter which the Republicans
and Democrats alike must con-
slider when election time rolls
around next year.

French Cruiser Sinks
Big hazi Supply Ship

DAKAR, French West Africa De-
laye6 (P).-A large German supply
ship bound for Japan was sunk by
the French cruiser Georges Leygues
in a moonlight engagement early
April 13, it was disclosed today.
The cruiser was on South Atlantic
patrol when she sighted the ship and
moved to the attack, signalling the
return of French naval units based
in Africa into combat with Germany.
Capt. Robert Jaujard, the cruisers
commander, said he tried to damage
and capture the Axis ship, but his
gunners' aim was so good it set the
vessel afire. At daybreak the cruiser
picked up two lifeboats with 80 men
and made them prisoner.
The sinking destroyed goods des-
tined for the Far East, foiled the
delivery of return cargo, and struck
blow at U-boats operating in the
shipping lanes about Africa by de-
stroying fuel and robbing them of
a force of trained gunners among
the men taken prisoner. 1t was said.
