a period which was riotous with
prosperity and clamorous almost to
the point of desperation to escape
from dramatic reminders as power
full as Werfel's that a reckoning Was
due. Werfel stopped playwrighting
then to devote his time to his en-
during "The 40 Days of Musa Dagh,"
another rueful contemplation of the
essentially tragic nature Of life mod
ifled only by the courage and self
sacrifice OF the individual.
Werfels return to the stage the
following season found him in the
same mood, reflected this time in
the elaborate Max Reinhardt pro-
duction of "The Eternal Road" a
play SO elaborately staged that its
idea was obscured to the point of
obliteration.
But now, the guild insists brightly,
Werfel has found a lightsome touch
in dealing with his fundamental
theme that man is tragic figure,
albeit an occasionally gallant one.
Fiscal department: When it was
announced that the quota set by
local theater arrangements in the
Fourth War Loan drive was bond
the most interesting
theater in the setup instantly be-
came Loew's Capitol. It's capacity is
almost 1000 seats greater than any
other house in Washington, which
is lot of seats and a lot of bonds.
However, from the management
of the Capitol today comes the news
that 3,433 bonds, or one for every
seat, have been sold-resulting in a
complete sellout for the premiere
of "A Guy Named joe set for
March /.
The Capitol thus becomes one of
the top four theaters in the city, the
others being the Columbia, Earle
and Apex, in that order in line for
the Honored Hundred Contest
award.

B-29 was decided upon, the
same bombing could have been
done not from China but di-

The pyramid-building effort,
of only 20 per cent efficiency,
would have been unnecessary.
Suppose our military mentors
at the time had the same vision
and chronological daring as our
industrial leaders and decided
10 install six engines instead
of four.
That did not represent a par
ticularly complicated problem.
There were technical difficult
ties TO be licked, but these
would have been the same
whether four or six engines
were used. In any case, after
having done the six-engine job,
we would have possessed a
plane that simplified war, in

pyramid-building scale.

THE first attack on the in
l. dustrial heart OF Japan,
achieved by the Superbomber
B-29, came from bases in China.
The bombing seems a simple
operation, namely TO fly TO the
target and back.
Actually il is a mammoth un-
dertaking.
1t represents an almost
superhuman effort drawing on
all OUR resources of ingenuity.
Air bases for planes like the
Bps are big and complex.
It took nearly 100000 coolies,
working day and night. 10 con-
struct them. Every bit of spe-
cialized material and equipment
had 10 be brought by plane.
There has been nothing 10

struction of the Egyptian pyra-
mids,

Chinese tenacity made the sue
cessful completion of the task
possible.

whole undertaking was gro
tesque.

up a substantial part Of our air
power in cargo planes hauling
gasoline, steel, concrete and
construction machinery. With
the effort and chronological in
vestment put into one base in
isolated China, we probably
could have obtained many bases
in accessible regions.
THE public remembers the
l. Douglas Bic. successfully
flown in l941. Though six years
younger in design, the Biz
with its span of PIP feet
dwarfed the present B-29 in
about the same degree that the
B-29 dwarfs the Flying Fort
ress.
Some day some one will have
to answer before the judgment
seat of history why. after the
successful test flight of the
Big. we decided on a step
backward instead of forward,
by building smaller instead of
larger planes.
1t was certainly no fault of
our aviation industry, which
was quite prepared to put
large planes into production.
Had the decision been made
to utilize this chronological OPP
portunity, endless chains Of
superbombers would now be
raiding Japan night and day
from Australia, India and
Alaska.

THESE DAYS
LNHO starts or wins a war

WHO starts or wins a war
w becomes in time academic.
OF course, there was an out
cry in England and America
when Oliver Lyttelton, minister
of production, said Japan was
provoked into attacking the
Americans at Pearl Harbor.
They made the man apologize
and he did ii by suggesting
that he meant something else
which is perhaps English humor.
The fact is that until Adm.
Kimmel and Gen. Short are
court-martialed or are investi-
gated by Congress, we shall
not know all there is TO know
about Mr.. Lyttelton's state
ment.
WHAT interests me more
w than Mr.. Lyttelton's state
ment is why he said il at the
particular moment when the
Republicans were gathering in
Chicago.
Britishers tell me il all has
no meaning because Mr.. Lyttel-
ton is like that, saying what he
wants 10 say and often with a
hot potato in his mouth.
l don't know the gentleman
and il is possible that his coun-
trymen in New York do him an
injustice.
He may be like Henry Wal
lace or Harold Ickes who talk
out of turn.
Nevertheless. it strikes me
that there have been a few
incidents that would indicate
that the British are not as par
tisan for Roosevelt as they
used to be.

business. but II begins 10 look

grand student of American psy-
chology, is working for Roose-
Welt by slsmming him. which is
pretty sound as in the present
state of affairs our people are
not TOO strong for anybody in
Europe.
Whichever way you interpret
it-and there are arguments one
way and the other-the British
are interested in this election
and are doing things about it.
