TWO ROADS TO BERLIN

(Christian Science Monitor)
Something of the same feeling with
which Americans and Britons hailed the
news of the invasion of France is sweep
ing the Russians as they learn of the
drive of their armies in White Russia.
The capture of Vitebsk evidently had a
special meaning for Russians, probably
because it points the Russian forces di-
rectly on the road to Berlin
This is where the Nazis might have
been expected to hold, since Nazi retreats
in this region must exert most depress-
ing effect on German morale The speed
of the Russian advance suggests confu-
sion and even decentralization among the
Nazi troops. Adding Zhoblin to their bag,
the Russians have torn out the anchors
of the Nazi defense line in White Russia.
Soviet troops on this front are now
just about the same distance from Ber-
lin as Russia's Allies are at Cherbourg,
approximately zoe miles. Berlin resi-
dents could avoid showing any favoritism
by erecting arches Of welcome on both
sides of the city, to be ready about the
same date

DEWEY SCOTCHES YELPERS
ON TRADING LEADERS

Governor Dewey struck boldly and
clearly in his speech accepting the Re-
publican nomination for president on the
issue of winning the war and the Demo-
cratic bugaboo of trading horses in the
middle of the stream" when he said,
Thank God for General Marshall and
Admiral King" And then there shall be
no civilian interference with the war
leaders and still further "and if we
find such interference next January first
we shall put an end to It"
Thus the young governor not only
answered the administration, but chal
lenged it as we'll.
No one, not even the administration
henchmen who are yelping about shift
in leadership" as a menace to victory,
think for minute that change of ad-
ministration will defeat the allies or even
prolong the victory. Does anyone be-
lieve that Marshall and King and Eisen-
hover and Macarthur and Nimitz and
whover may be secretaries of war and
navy and any new leaders advanced to
high commands will become helpless
with change? Does anyone begin to
believe that 130 million people on the
home front are going to let down? Is
there any fair or reasonable excuse to
even suggest that the millions of men
and women in the great war plants will
drop their tools after November if
there is change of leadership at Wash
ington? Most certainly not.
Dewey leaves nothing to be guessed or
inferred. On the other hand he makes it
clear that complete conduct and admin
istration of the military field shall be
in the hands of the military leaders,
which makes it clear that they are to be
in Of ;rl,+
forces in the field, off the field and
theirs will be the responsibility for STRAIT
egy and plans. The American people
have confidence in these military lead
ers and will have still more confidence
in them in the light of Dewey's emphatic
pronouncement that there shall be no
civilian interference or assumption of
military power. And Mr.. Dewey's words
were acclaimed the breadth of the land
and found ready listeners, satisfied lis
teners.
How hollow and mean are the pratings
of the mo trade" ilk in the light of the
attitude sinlilarly-constituted patriots
in 1864. Then a coterie of obstruction
lists, busy throughout the four years of
Lincoln's war administration. teamed up
to oust the Emancipator They rallied
around disgruntled general and har-
assed Lincoln endlessly and maliciously
in their effort to change war leader
ship. In that day they were known as
"Copperheads" and their leaders hailed
mostly from the state of New York.
AS far as the people are concerned
Dewey has stilled any feeling of disquiet
He met fairly the cry Of the "foreverites"
in Washington and from now on the
pack may howl and howl in its unscrup-
ulous method of trying to hold onto their
jobs.
And again, Thank God for Marshall
and King"

ECC Aid Proposes
Cut in Meat

WASHINGTON, July 5. CUP)-
Interstate Commerce Commission
Examiner George Hall has propos-
ed a "drastically reduced scale OF
railroad rates fer shipment of fresh
meat and meat by-produC.S from

He saic in report to the full

scale was unreasonable and esti-

under current rates it was much
cheaper to ship live animals from

COP NEED NOT TRY TO
FIX DEMOCRATS SPLIT
Clos Angeles Times)

With all due respect to Columnist
Walter Lippmann, it may be said he
seems unduly exercised over Republican
duty in connection with the Democratic
party revolt in Southern States. Lipp-
mann fears that as the result of Demo
cratic party action in Texas, Mississippi
and South Carolina. prO-Roosevelt voters
in those States will be disfranchiSed.
and thinks the Republicans should pro
test.
On the contrary the Republicans have
no duty in the matter. The Republican
party did not engineer this split, which
seems to be an entirely internal matter
for the Democratic party to handle in
its own way. There was no protest from
the Democrats when South Dakota made
no provision for Taft electors in 1912;
the Republican electors of that State
voted for Theodore Roosevelt, the Taft
voters were diSfranchised and that was
that. Nobody asked the Democratic par
tvs opinion; nobody even thought OF
doing so.
The action of the Texas. Mississippi
and South Carolina State conventions,
which virtually have instructed their
nominees for Presidential electors not to
vote for the party candidate unless GER
tam c0nQlUOnS are met, Is, 10 dll appeal
ances. approved by the majority of the
Democrats in those States. Certainly
the action was taken under what these
States consider great provocation. Lipp
mann does not point out any other way
for the Democrats of these States to rid
themselves of an intolerable situation
and an unwanted candidate. 1t is not
for Republicans to tell them what they
should do. Republicans may be we'll ad
vised not to attempt to capitalize the
situation. but neither is their party called
on to attempt to interfere

Says Eggs or Chicks
Best Blood for Flocks

Use Matching eggs or baby chicks
to introduce new blood into breed
ing flock with least danger of intro
ducing disease, says Prof. J. H.
Bruckner of the New York State
College Of Agriculture.
Adult birds are the most danger
Gus to bring in, as they may appear
healthy, yet carry colds, cholera,
and other diseases that cause much
damage on poultry farms. If birds
and not eggs are brought into a
breeding establishment, few
home farm birds should be put
with the new arrivals in an isolated
pen for few weeks, and watched
to see If all stay healthy.
Haf-grown range stock is less
dangerous than adult birds, and
baby chicks are still better. The
breeder should make sure he buys
from a farm with disease-free birds,
pullorum free if his own birds are
tested.
In buying eggs or chicks for
breeding stock, says Professor
Bruckner, it is well to buy more
than the number needed, so only
the best will be kept for mixing with
the home farm breeding birds.

alliance binding Bulgaria to Ger
many for the duration and specify
ing that all pro-Russian and anti
Nazi elements within the country
should be 'purged."
Boris asked for permission to con-
suit his ministers. He was told that
this wasn't necessary. Boris said
he hadn't the power to sign. Hitler
said, "Sign!" and pushed a pen
in his hand. Boris collapsed. Hit
ler's physician, Sauerbach, was
summoned. Boris had had heart
attack. He rested for a while and
seemed able to talk when Hitler
again shouted to him to sign. Boris
had a second attack.
Fearful that Boris might die in
sgaden-which would have
been the worst possible kind of anti
Nazi propaganda within Bulgaria
Boris was loaded onto special train
in the company of Hitler's own doc
tor and rushed to Sofia. The king
had a stroke on his arrival and died
that night, leaving Bulgaria in the
hands of the Naziphile Prime Min
lister Filoff.
Turkey Quitting Nazis.
Hitler has been trying to put the
squeeze on another state in the Bal
kan ayea-Turkey. By an agreement
obtained by Won Papen under threat
of invasion in 1941, Turkey is obliged
to sell all it's chrome to Germany as
of October, 1943, when the Anglo
Turkish treaty affecting this valu-
able mineral expired. The first two
shiploads, bound for Constanta on the
Black sea, however, were torpedoed
by Russian submarines, and it is
doubtful whether Germany's COM
mercial treaty with Turkey will
greatly benefit the Reich.
That is apparently all right with
the Turks, who have been almost
completely in the Anglo-American
camp.
Money flows freely in Turkey.
Everyone seems to have plenty Of
Turkish 1iras in Ankara and Istan-
bull, although the country itself is
saddled with the high cost Of main
tanning a large army and is actually
extremely poor.
German Peace Palmer.
Won Papen at 20 looks like what
he is-the old and blunted tool of
German Balkan policy. He walks
with his foxy head thrust forward.
Lately, Won Papen has been talk
ing freely to Turkish friends about
the possibility of the Fuehrer's
downfall. He even speaks of him
self as Hitler's possible successor.
Canny diplomat that he is, Won
Papen has also circulated what he
calls his "Peace Plan," which is
really a blueprint for a negotiated
peace such as the Junker militarists
of Germany would like to obtain.

The idea that high blood pressure
always indicates some bodily dis
order and should be treated to lower
it is quite erroneous, according to
DR.. O. H. Perry Pepper of Philadel-
phia. He says that for some people,
high blood pressure is just as nor
NAL as so-called normal blood
pressure is for other people. There
are still others, for whom low blood
pressure is normal. No two human
bodies are exactly alike, and con-
siderable variation must be allowed
in many matters of health. How
ever, it is not wise for laymen to
decide medical matters for them-
selves.
