The lad is Joe Enge who pitched bullpen and morn

would to winning.
And I'm certain it was, though Enge now claims

Engel had high octane speed but control

The result that accused him of being the bench

Joe had such terrific speed that once saw him put

THESE DAYS
: BY GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY-

IT WOULD seem 10 be an in
L alienable right of Americans
to foregather and talk about
anything. And most Americans
do il.
In fact, we are probably the
most talkingest people on earth,
there being meetings at all
hours of every day to talk about
everything and anything.
Recently John A. Brown,
president of Socony-Vacuum Oil
CO., John A. Sweetser, president
of Bigelow-Sanford Carpet Co.,
and Frank II. Deknatal. treas
urer Of the same company, in
vited some friends TO dinner TO
hear Upton Close and Emil
Harja speak.
One of them must have said
something about Wendell Will
kie which, when he heard of it
from several newspaper COM
mentators and columnists," dis
pleased him.

MAJOR DE SEVERSKY
| NUMBER of congressman

A NUMBER of congressman
"A who disapprove Of some
phases OF present American
strategy recently expressed the
wish for another Billy Nit
chelr' to speak up on the SUBJ
ject.
When one recalls how little
Gen. Mitchell's fight for air
power accomplished in his own
lifetime, their wish loses some
Of its point.
II required a series of dis
asters TO drive home some Of
the lessons that Mitchell
preached
Difficult as military crusad-
ing proved for Mitchell in time
of peace, il would be a hundred
times more so in wartime.
Revisions in strategy in the
midst Of combat are the hardest
TO bring about,
They are usually made only
under the impact Of shattering
events.
WARS are conducted on the
w basis of plans worked out
in advance, by the same men
who did the planning.
There is a direct indignation
Of strategy and leadership, so
that one can rarely be altered
without altering the other.
Those who clamor for changes
usually fail to understand that
they are really asking for a
change in leadership.
1t can be set down as rule
that a totally new strategy
can never be developed by the
same men who created the old
one.
THE remarkable fact Is that
Il we have succeeded in max
ing several vital revisions with
out corresponding changes in
ltduCi sup
In the Pacific a conflict blue
printed along purely naval lines
has been converted into am
phibious warfare.
In Europe the original in
vasion plans were made with
out relation TO mastery of the
air over the whole continent.
Yet the responsible minds by
this time have obviously ac-
cepted the revolutionary idea
that the enemy's aerial strength
must be broken before the in
vasion is launched.
Such revisions can be set
down as a victory for democ-
racy, since public opinion. more
than any other single factor,
brought them about.

discussion was going to take
the turn that IL did, namely
discussion of political figures or
condemnation of the war effort,
he would not have sponsored
the dinner.
"As was I'm business for

for the purpose of discussing and
condemning political figures was
both unwise and hazardous, and
certainly inimical to that spirit

our future economic health"

men, why is il hazardous for
business men to talk about
politicians
If Wendell Willkie can con-
denim Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Tom Dewey, why not a business
man condemn Wendell Willkie?
There are business men who
are so afraid of any big bad
wolf politician that they trem-
bic at his gesture of anger.
That is why business men
have been kicked around these
past dozen years.
But for Willkie to begin kick
ing them around now is surely
premature and extraordinarily
ungrateful.

THERE are two possibilities
which may force revolu-
tionary revision of strategy, and
with it also of leadership:
If the present strategy be-
comes too costly in men and

2-If the enemy should chan

This is unlikely in Europe,
