The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ut. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON One of the hitherto secret incidents of the late political campaign was an offer by Gen. MacArthur to sup port the President for a fourth term.
 The conversation took place at Pearl Harbor when Roosevelt held his conference with Admiral Nimlt2 and Macarthur. After the naval officers had left, the General and the President had a private con- ference of their own.
 Prior to this, the President was certainly not enthusiastic about MacArthur and, judging from the critical letters. made public by Congressman Miller of Nebraska the feeling was mutual. But at this meeting, FDR later tolo friends, butter would hardly melt in MacArthur's mouth. He drippeo cordiality and friendship, actually offered to make statement sup porting the President for reelection
 FDR in turn was so impressed with MacArthur's strategy plan fol landing on Leyte and retaking tht Philippines that he later expoundee on the subject at some length tt those who accompanied him on tht trip.
 "A great strategist," the Presi' dent told Admiral Leahy. ' The President also proposed, fol lowing the Macarthur conference

HITLER LIN
 APPEAL TO
 HOMELAND
Proclamation in Fuehrer s Name Read by RimmIer
 -CaIIs for Hari-Kdri

LONDON, Nov. 13-The twelfth proclamation in the name of the long silent Adolph Hitler, but read | by Hangman Chief Heinrich Himmler, summoned the Germans to fight to the death and promised victory against Allies who seek Germany's complete humiliation. v
 Sounding every appeal to steel the German will, the proclamation asserted that surrender would not be a cheap escape" and appealed for loyalty to the Feuhrer, who warned that his power was abso- lute and declared that "as long as I am alive, Germany will not suffer the fate of European states flooded by Bolshevism.
 But the voice of Hitler, who has not spoken to his people in nearly four months in their gravest crisis, was not heard Sunday, which the Reich radio called the day of national. rising.
 His silence slnce the day after the July 20 attempt on his life has led to reports that Hitler is dead. ill or mad. The proclamation said only that his work docs not allow me to leave headquarters for even few days"
 In this day of stark fanaticism, Nazi leaders sought to pledge Ger many virtually to national suicide. They held the hari kari fanaticism of the Japanese as an example for the Germans. The defense of "our beloved Reich must be by every home, every street corner, every clump of trees.' All thought of compromise or equalization was re- jected.

Waves, Spars and Women Marines Will Gel
 Attention from Congress
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3 - When Congress comes back after the election recess, one thing almost certain to come up is move to make the WACS, WAVES, STARS and Women Marines a permanent part of the armed forces with an Annapolis or West Point of their own.
 Representative Eugene Cox, tD) Georgia, already has introduced a bill which would pave the way to such a peacetime departure for the armed forces.
 Congressman Cox makes no eff fort to outline the program him. self. He seeks to create a commits sion of Is members authorized to prepare a comprehensive plan for the establishment, maintenance and operation of a women's military, naval and Coast Guard academy where women would be trained as commissioned officers to serve in those branches of the armed forces. The commission would be con- posed of five members appointed by the president of the Senate, five by the Speaker of the House and five by the President. 
 Cox specifics that the commits sion shall report to Congress not later than April l, 1945, with a suggested location of the academy, length of course, methods of ap- pointment, pay and suggestion on the important matter of whether women should be appointed com missioned officers in the regular forces or officers in permanent re- serve organizations in the various services.
 One important factor in the Cox bill is that if it resulted in a law along the lines set forth, it not only would set up military careers for women, but would be the first unification of the armed forces; a pattern perhaps for the West Point and Annapolis of tomorrow when prospective officers might spend Interchangeable years under a uni ! fled command.
 l Members of all services have praised the work of various wo- mems corps highly on numerous occasions. Except for a few old die -hards who are rapidly going
 into the discard as the war pro- gresses, it isn't believed here that
 any of the services would seek to
 block peace-tirpe women's corps

Mr.. Wallace recalled an occasion

department could do to help his
work. The scientist replied that he
would appreciate few amarylis
bulbs.
Il would like very much indeed
to feel that this particular flower
is a descendant of a cross between
his own and one contributed by
the department." the Vice President
said.
Mr. Wallace said he considered
the outstanding characteristic of DR..
Carver the complete and utter
sympathy he had with nature" and
