 The War Veterans measure appropriately called the C. I-American Legion Bill of Rights has passed Congress and been signed by the President.
 Congress took long enacting this measure but is to be commended for keeping the fundamental inter- ests of fighting Americans in mind throughout the long debate and for safeguarding those interests in substantial and important manner
 Every American is happy that the word can now go to the boys desperately struggling for their lives in France in Burma the islands of the Pacific and of Rights is law fighting man in terms of his peace and security of mind to realize what his reaction will be-
 It means that he will not have to home to an interval of unemployment and uncertainty after the war.
 It means he will have a reasonable amount of cash to tide him the period of return to civilian life.
 It means he will have respectable and productive and properly compensated job
 It means he will be able to continue his education after the war
 It he buy home farm or business after the
 It means he will have adequate disqualification and medical services if he is sick wounded, after the war
 These are the principal provisions of the G. l. American Legion Bill of Rights but by means all of its provisions.
 This is the news that be flashed to the American boys on the Normandy Peninsula, and on Saipan and those battling north of Rome and those who have buried their comrades Bak Island
 This is the news the American people proud to tell to their fighting and brothers husbands and fathers.

 Wallace also expressed considerable interest in the possibility of the development of the Canadian Northwest territories

 Another expert saw the latest newsreels of Hitler last week, was surprised at hom paunchy and pale he looked. His face was described as very puffy
 Hitler has taken on weight, this expert said and it's not flat tering to him He seems to be letting himself go and apparently isn't getting as much exercise as a lot of his men who are running backward His eyes also look hol- low The war isn't agreeing with Adolph Hitler

FDR'S REACTION TO LUCE
 SPEECH

Only a few close friends know it, but nothing i'll years has wounded the President so much as Congress lady Glare Luce's scathing speech denouncing him at the Chicago convention.
 To insiders, he has not tried to conceal the way he felt. He was not irate at the Congresslady from Connecticut, but very much hurt at her charges that he had led American boys into war which he could have avoided
 The President read every line of the Luce speech, and almost every word cut him to the quick. Inci- dentally, Republicans intimate that Mrs. Luce, by her scathing, telling vitriol. was deliberately aiming to bulldoze the President out of run ming again.

 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS By the end of the month there will be important news regarding the Nazis, it is forecast. This may mean that overtures for an arm istice will be made through a neu- tral country AS the might of the Allies is daily demonstrated, the status of the neutrals becomes less favorable and their intercession less acceptable.
