WASHINGTON, July rs. = Her.
bert Brownell, Jr., COP chairman,
asserted in his first visit to the
Republican Party's headquarters
since being elected that the Demo-
Gratis proved the Republican con-
tention that time changes horses"
when they passed over Rcosevelt's
first choice for running mate ard
picked Senator Truman in place
of Wallace.
Brownell said also he expected
considerable talk" in the coming
months about the control of the
Democratic Party with final con-
troll resting between bosses of cor

cal left-wingers who are closer to
communism than any other politi-
cal philosophy"

Atrocities Of laps
In The Netherlands
East Indies Revealed

putting his heart and soul into his
work, he is either beaten to death
or bayoneted.
All women in the Netherlands
East Indies, irrespective of age, and
girls were raped. some Of them were
ravaged until they died. Today all
one sees in these territories are old
men and women and children who
are of no use to the Japs or can
do them no harm.
To meet a part of their food
shortage back home, everywhere in
the Netherlands East Indies the
Japs are plundering and looting the
food. The local people are forced
to exchange their grain for worth
less Jap military note, and grain
SO collected is mostly shipped to
Japan.
Being isolated and in lack of cot
ton goods, the people in these ter
ritories are now in rags. To make

MOSCOW, July 25.-Swift Rus
sian columns, paced by churning
tanks and swarm of planes, are
today less than SO miles from War
saw, after splitting the German
armies in the heart of Poland and
capturing Lublin and Likow. Lublin
is the rail center in southeastern
Poland and one of the important
German strongholds guarding the
route to Warsaw.
The Russian drive, over uncb-
structed plains, has carried the
Red Army 40 miles forward in "a
hours.
The Soviets are less than 20 miles
from the Vistula River which flows
by Warsaw and forms the last
natural barrier to German itself.
Crossing of the Vistula River
would outflank the Warsaw region
and expose the garrison city OF 250,-
600 to attack from the south.

The W Washington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
1,t. Col Robert S. Allen now on active
service with the Army

WASHINGTON-The uncensorec
diplomatic pouch from London re-
ports that the proportion OF Am
orleans being killed by Hitler's ro-
bot bombs is greater than the pro-
portion of British. This is because
Americans in London haven't
learned to adjust themselves to
living in a city where death turks
at every corner.
Since the number of Americans
in London is less than the number
of British, the total number OF
Americans killed is naturally less
than the number of British killed,
but proportionately American lives
lost are greater.
What happens is that a British
err walking down a London street
instinctively looks for the nearest
lamp-post, pillar, pile OF bricks or
anything that will serve as protec-
ton. He does this before there is
any explosion or even any noise
of an approaching robot. He has
been trained to do it for four long
and perilous years during which
death was constantly dropping out
of the sky, in the same way that
a single-engine airplane pilot fly
ing from Washington to New York
is constantly on the lookout for
emergency landing places such as
COW pastures, even when his motor
is whirring perfectly.
Because Americans aren't trained
in watching for means OF protec-
ton in the street, they lose that
split seconds time necessary to get
out of the way of flying glass and
bricks.
In addition, American troops SUI
fered one unhappy accident when
a robot landed in the middle OF a
detail of men who were getting
ready to leave in trucks. Lined
up in a London street, they were
wiped out.

DESTRUCTION OF THE ROBOT

Authentic London reports are
not too encouraging regarding de-
struetion Of the robot bomb. Great
est success has been in knocking
it out in the air with fighter
planes. However, it takes a robot
from that in which the British
are preparing to receive it.

He F|jrted with Death

Returning from a weeks vacation,

dead in the kitchen. a home made
rubber mask that covered his face
was connected with gas jet by a
length Of rubber hose.
demonstrating what had happened
from the evidence, the authorities re.
ported that the victim had tied his
arms behind chair after donning
the special mask. With his feet he
could easily open and close the Jet.
Apparently the cXperimenter had
trusscd himself up so that he wouldn't
be tempted 10 pull the mask off.
IL had been the clerks intention,
the police believe, 10 shut off the 81
at just the instant that he felt himJtC1

The fact that he never did turn

there were no warning feelings TO tell
him when he had gone far enough.
