he may ind himself stymied. It Will
be hard for him to make q case
against the Democratic party's plat
form and oncial position. It Is just
about what he sought and failed to
obtain in his own party.
To complete the guess. Willkie is
now free to take both parties apart
and present his findings to the pub
lie. He can do that throughout the
campaign. The speeches Of the
candidates will give him all the op-
portunities he will need. Having
indicated very clearly before the
Democratic convention met that he
didn't know how he would vote in
November. he can keep on indicat-
ing that until the voting day is very
near. Believing, with good reason,
that there are some millions in this
country who respect his views he Is
likely to give hard thought to all he
says, his purpose being to keep both
candidates as close to his own DO
sition as he possibly can.

KANSAS CITY, July 25.-As Sen
ator Truman, Democrat, Of Mis-.
souri, recalled old times with the
home folks, still crowding In today
to congratulate him on his Demo-
cratic vice presidential nomination
these two questions were asked re.
peatedly:
/. When will Truman meet Pres.
ident Roosevelt to discuss plans 70,
the fourth-term campaign?
2. How important . role Will the
Missourian be expected to play be-
tween now and the November elec.
tions?
The President accepted the NOM
ination by radio from = West Coast
naval station July 20, and since then
there has been no hint Of his where
abouts.
Missouri Meeting Suggested.
But local politicians perked up
yesterday when Senator Truman
talking with some of the men who
served under him in France In Bat
terry D Of the old Missouri National
Guard, said: "I'd be very happy to
meet the President here or any
where" And then added. Missouri
is a very hospitable State"
Censorship restricts all informa-
ton Of the Presidents movements
and Senator Truman said he hadn't
heard from Mr.. Roosevelt since the
President telegraphed congratula-
tions on Senator Truman's nomi-
nation.
But local Democrats think that
Senator Truman and the President
may meet soon. possibly somewhere
IN the Middle West, to discuss their
plans. And from that meeting
whenever and wherever 1t is held
they believe will come q program
which will give Senator Truman
an unusually heavy part for vice

Roosevelt has said he would no,

things, that Mr.. Wallace is a pretty
strong believer. Had he been man
OF less faith he would not have left
Chicago with the smiling assurance
that he was prepared to support all
the way the man who had permitted
him to be removed from the ticket
He would now be found in remote
corner Of one of his cornfields nurs-
ing his wounded pride and contem-
plating revenge against the political
manipulators who had defeated him
first at the White House and then
in the convention. He has no COM
plant against the President who ac-
cepted the finding of his political
advisors that he, Wallace, would
weaken the ticket.
Feels Surer of Self.
Actually Mr.. Wallace has not been
made unhappy by the result of his
campaign for denomination. He
feels stronger and surer of himself,
as well as surer Of the strength of
the forces which he finds himself
representing in his party. All on his
own, hurt rather than helped by the
equivocal position taken by the Pres
1dent, he gathered behind him 40
per cent of the convention and saw
it adjourn with himself, rather than
the candidate, in everybody's mind.
He can support Mr.. Truman whole
heartedly because he shares the gen.
eral respect for the Missouri Sena-
tor. He will not have to fight down
any sour introspection since there
Is none in his system.
There is something of a parallel in
Mr.. WILKES situation. His party
convention treated him much more
roughly than Wallace was treated.
1t gave him no opportunity to pre-
sent himself and his views; above
all 1t gave him no opportunity to
withdraw in the manner of hero.
But it did leave him free to be
himself. 1t did leave him in posi-
ton to fight effectively for his own
convictions. 1t left him so free that,
unlike Wallace, he can fight for
those convictions outside his own
party If he decides that that is
where he can fight best.
Mr.. Willkie is now wrestling with
the problem of this decision. He
may reach it quickly, but that is un-
likely. Had he found the ticket and
platform of the Democratic party
completely repugnant, his decision
would have appeared in the papers
the next day. 1t took him no longer
than that to express his views con-
corning the outcome of the Re-
publican convention, although he did
not cut off completely the possibil-
ity of giving the Republican ticket
his support.
Can Attack Both Sides.
For guess as to what Mr.. Willkie
will now do, it can be kept in mind
that the Democratic platform failed
notably to meet his views on some
subjects-racial intolerance, for ex-
ample. He will find numerous things
to attack. But on the one most
important issue, as of today, the

Then as these fast twin filmed

of the sky a number of the nearly
100 MesSerschmitts and Focke-
Wulfs that swarmed up to meet
them.
All the way to Bucharest the
Lightning Numbered at tree-top
level, then they rose for the dive
bombing attack on the refinery
the Romano Americana - which
had stood intact through three
heavy bomber raids designed to
dry up this important source of
Nazi oil.
Before these daring forayS, heavy
bombers had cut the total Roman
ian oil production an estimated 80
per cent. The Romano Americana
formerly was subsidiary Of
Standard Oil of New Jersey.
The formation, led by 1t. Col.
William P. Litton, Shaw, Miss, used
up its ammunition on the return
trip by strafing locomtives and
tank cars.
Other Mediterranean heavy
bonbers, possibly 500 strong, kept
up the blows against German oil

Trieste among other targets, send

The Aquila refinery is one of the
largest available to the Germans
