LONDON, July 7.-More flying
bombs smashed the London area
last night after a lull of several
hours, while rescuers were still dig

The Air Ministry said there were
casualties, but less damage, and
that the defenders had one of their

portion" of the robots.
Grim Londorers are paying with
their blood to watch the birth OF
a new era of ar power, with the
flying bomb now and perhaps later
a giant rocket bomb. in the opin-
ion of many veteran airmen.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill,
in discussion OF the menace OF
the flying bombs, yesterday dis
closed that so far casualties num-
bered 2,752 killed and 5000 injured
as the result Of the missiles He
promised that all measures within
human power would be used to

The W ashington
Merry Co. Round
By DREW PEARSON
CIT. Col Robert S. Allen now on active
service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON Many people
long have suspected the President
of being a very patient man as far
as Winston Churchill and the old
fashioned British Empire are con-
cerned. Just how patient he is
however, has just leaked out. 1t Is
now learned that at one time the
President sent letter TO Mahatma
Gandhi III India which the British
would not permit Gandhi to re-
ceive.
Roosevelt wrote the letter to
Gandhi approximately a year and
a half ago. It was a friendly, con-
ciliatory message, urging Indian
Nationalist cooperation with the
Allies in the war.
Ambassador william Phillips,
FDRs special envoy to India, tried
to deliver the letter personally, but
the British flatty refused permls-
sion. G..ndhi was then in jail, and
when Ambassador Phillips asked to
be permitted to see him, the Brit
ish said no. They were polite but
firm. Phillips was not allowed to
see either Gandhi or any other OF
the imprisoned Nationalist leaders.
When efforts were made to de-
liver the letter through the Brit
ish themselves, the British again
refused.
Despite the fact that the United
States was sending lend-lease Weap-
ons to protect India, was using U.
S. troops in North India to help
ward off the Japanese, and was
using other U. s. troops in the
Southwest Pacific to protect Aus
tralia, the British would not per-
NIT personal letter from the
President of their chief ally to be
delivered to Gandhi.
Later Ambassador Phillips talked
to Prime Minister Churchill about
the whole matter when Churchill
was in Washington in the summer
of l943 But he got nowhere with
Churchill on any phase of the In
dian problem. On another occasion,
the President himself tried to urge
more liberal British policy toward
India, put Churchill was almost in
sulting. He virtually told FDR to
mind his own business.
Ambassador Phillips was SO m
censed at the whole thing that he
advised the President it was futile
for him or anyone else to go back
to Indian as envoy.
In the last few days, however,
the question of delivering the let
ter to Gandhi has been revived.
The Indian saint has now been re-
leased from jail, and it may be
that the British will let down the
bars and permit the President of

Stiffening Enemy Resist

ROME, July flashing out from
outposts of the heavily fortified
Gothic line in the first aggressive
action in two months, the German
defenders of northern Italy today
brought the Fifth Army's drive
toward Liverno, Pisa and Florence
almost to halt.
Allied headquarters said the
Eighth Army also measured its
gains in yards instead of miles.
The stiff house to house battle
continued to rage day and night in
the village of Rosignano where AM
erican infantry who penetrated to
within 10 airline miles of Livorno,
are attempting to smash through
the heavily manned strong points.
The severity of the fighting is
shown by the official report of the
American troops, who on the pre-
ceding day, held half the town, and
last night occupied two thirds of
it's battered ruins, after struggle
reminiscent of the bitter combat at
Casino.
From the west coast along a sector
extending at least 80 miles inland,
the enemy has struck back at the
Americans.

bombing and strafing attacks on
hundreds of boats and small river

WASHINGTON, July T. :. After

the country, most of it through

known and worked with before, l
think that among the most import
ant aspects of changing America
are the new thought patterns being
brought pack by the men and wo-
men who have fought and bled on
the global fronts Of this war
For The most part, they are a
quiet, un-talking people. They are
better versed on current events
than most civilians and there's
hardly a one now who can't name
his Congressman and tell you why
he will OF will not vote for him.
Almost unanimously they think
that the end of the war ION both
fronts) is a long time off and I've
never talked to one yet who con-
siders- any of our enemies soft
touch" regardless of whether the
question is numerical strength,
fighting ability, or efficiency of
equipment.

They are almost unanimously
bitter against labor strikes in war
plants for any reason but hold no
brief for a recalcitrant manage
ment that is selfishly seeking ex-
cessive profits They are almost
supremacy confident that when the
boys get back, the selfish in all
fields of war endeavor will be pun
ished by one method or another,
although almost none talks in terms
of physical violence.
They're very much concerned
about their respective places in n
postwar domestic economy but I've
never run across one who wants
more than a little place in the sun
comparable to the one he or his
neighbors held with security before
Pearl Harbor.
They consider postwar world col
laboration to maintain peace such
an inevitability that it isn't even
a topic for debate.
These are new patterns of
thought. They are the results of
broader horizons and greater depths
|of pain and sacrifice applied to
everyday living. They aren't ex-
ceptions They are the rule.
These men are such fellows as
"a lieutenant commander who has
had three destroyers shot from
under hun, including one as long
ago as the Battle of Coral Sea; IS
a commander who shippers a sub
marine; as an ordnance captain
who is shaking apart with the after
effects OF malaria; as an Army nurse
who has miniStared to hundreds Of
suffering youngsters flown out of
the blood Spattered islands of the
South Pacific; as a captain who
carried load OF shrapnel and
seven bullets out of Italy; as a
seabee from the SolQmons; and
dozens of pies and corporals and
sergeants and seamen.
Many never had been more than
ten miles from their front door
before they were indicted. Most
of them just want to get back
there, but not to pick up mentally
and socially ard politically just
where they left off. They've got
ideas now and the problem for the
United States and its economists
and politicians will be to catch up
with them.
