John L. Lewis supported Wendell Willkie in l940 because President Roosevelt completely ignored his proposal that he be chosen as a run. ning-mate on the third term ticket. according to an article in the cur. rent issue of Golfers Weekly which says this heretofore unrevealed in. formation was learned by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins.
 The article, by Jerry Kluttz Washington newspaperman. and Herbert AsbuEy of Golfers stan. dis- closes that the United Mine Work. ers' President issue his first blast in 1887 at his long, time. close friend, despite Miss Perkins efforts to bring the two men together, simply be. cause his pride had been hurt" and ''he thought the President was try. ing to shun him."
 President Roosevelt never quite got over what Lewis said about him" says Miss Perkins in the article which adds:
 "In the middle of the summer of l9l0, a little while before he came out for Willkie. Lewis came into Miss Perkins ofiice and began . tirade against the President. She interrupted him to say temperately: John, you know you shouldn't talk that way about the President. He has done many good things for you and the whole labor movement. Everything you say Is destructive. Why don't you make . constructive suggestion?'
 Lewis looked at her solemnly for c moment, then said dramatically:
 1T have made Q constructive sug- gestion. But I've heard nothing nothing at all.'
 "EEe refused to explain. but later Miss Perkins learned that Lewis had proposed to Mir. Roosevelt that he be nominated for Vice-Prestdent on the third-tegm ticket. The President simply ignored Lewis constructive suggestion. and Miss Perkins says she was not at all surprised at Lewis subsequent actions"
 Tn an appraisal of Miss Perkins. whom correspondents have voted the most useless" Of Washington ofIiclals, end her accomplishments during nearly I2 years in oEnce, the article says "Ghe Is very much uassv understood. both in end out of Washington"
 The admonition of an aunt when the 62-year.Old, deeply religious cabinet member took her first job that i've Perkinses gre very private people and we live very private lives" has more or Jess guided her conduct, especially since she became secretary Of isboE," continues the article,
 Her ingFsined horror of personal publicity has become phobia, so that she deeply resents anyone who tries to pgy into her private lie, So much has Miss Perkins become ob. sessed by the idee Of privacy that she has tried land with more sues cess than sbe has ever Fealizedl to keep her public life private also,"
 This abhoFFenee Of publicity and desire for privacy has prevented the general public from knowing how firmly Miss Perkins has opposed many policies and deeds Of both ME, Roosevelt and his admlnlstFav ton, Among the things. the article asserts, the public doesn't know about Secretary Perkins gre that;
 l,@she didn't like the idee of 2 third term, end hopes sincerely that it will never again be peeesv saEy for 2 president to serve more than two terms,

 Tests are divided into three groups - basic, pre-Expert and lastly, the Expert Infantryman tests themselves. By the time the first two are completed the Ex- pert tests seem simple; but trickily so, because only half of the men qualify on all of them.

Limited Press War Correspondent
 With the British fin pursuit of the German Seventh Army, Aug. l7- CUPD-- The fighting in Western France has become a vast battle of annihilation that promises a vic- tory over the Germans greater than any previously inflicted upon the Wehrmacht in Western Europe, British staff officers said today.
 Allied forces have created tv' great pockets: the Gemans escape from one only to find themselves in another.
 Prisoners are pouring in from both the inner and outer pockets admitting complete defeat.
 Those still fighting are mad men" is a typical prisoner state ment. Another says: They have not the slightest hope and they know it is futile to fight any long er."
 British officers said that although a considerable number of Panzers had escaped from the inner trap. they faced annihilation on their way to the Seine.
 Tt has become open warfare ale most along our entire front" was told at a forward headquarters. We are making sgifter progress in cut ting up his slowly withdrawing col- umns.
 Tt begins to look as fl the entire German seventh army would be wiped out before or at tine Seine, '' an officer said. Some of our men have been fighting without a break for five days. They manage to car- Ty on because they realize they're in on the greatest victory of Allied arms in the west-the greatest de- feat the Germans have ever suffered in Europe"
 The German race through France in i940. which drove me out at Dun kirk. was nothing like this. Our forces are bringing in prisoners in droyes.
 The German communications have been slashed to ribbons and they have no cohesion as an army any longer.
