Chairman Brownell and others, who claimed that the Dulles quo. tations were misleading and did not really represent his views
 Since then, delugo Of letters have poured in, some defending, some condemning but nearly oil wanting more information about Mfr.

 Some editors may not Dc on. thusiastlc about printing the rc. suit. Hut since winning the peace after this war Is the most important object of the war, it Is not Q bad Idea to sorutlnlze thoroughly any man who Is asked to cooperate with SecFe. tary Hull for future peace as
 the representative Of several million Republicans, and who we'll may Do the next Secretary Of State.
 Certainly few men in America arc betetr qualified, Gs far as family background Is concerned, to be Secretary of State, John Dulles uncle was tho late Rob. ert Lansing, Secretary of State, under Wilson, Democrat. Ills grandfather was John W. Poster, secretary of state under Benjamin Harrison, Q Republican,
 John W. Foster was c truly great statesman. Ho handled many delicate diplomatic nego- tiationS both before and after leaving the Harrison Cabinet = helped settle tho war between Ja. pan and China, strengthened out the Alaskan boundary, arbitrated problems with Russia in the Ber- ing Sea.
 Originally, he was an Indiana politician, who served as post master of his community, was Republican State chairman and, somewhat like COrdcll Hull. came up the political ladder the hard way.
 His grandson John Dulles after studying at Princeton and in Paris, jumped immediately Into tho most prosperous law firm in Wall Street, Sullivan and Cromwell. Ho has been there ever since and .s now itS most important and prom. inent partner.

However, aside from the big utilities, which will be dis. cuSsed later, many international cases, some connected with the dictator countries, seemed to graVitate toward John Rules.

Selected Poem
EARTH DIM OUT (Mae Wnkler Goodman in the Poets Corner, Hartford Times

We watched the light go out across the world, Yet even then 1t was not wholly night,
 A glow remained, c mist, q softly pearled
 Something that was light and yet not light And oil of Us who saw this miracle, This glow sustained by some invisible force Knew deep within, though how We could not tell That we had glimpsed creation at It's source. And now again the lights are going on
 While we who saw the world so strangely dim Watch night recede before the advancing dawn And earth grow bright from rim to farthest rim Yet we who saw the geam we could not name Know that our night can never Do the same.

Q. I have been told that it is not permissible for me to wear both my paratrooper and pilot wings at the same time. Is this true?
 A. No. Both may be worn on the uniform, as may any other badge you have to take tests of some sort to qualify for. The ex- ception to this rule is the expert infantryman's badge which may not be worn when the recipient also has won the combat infantry badge.
 Q. My wife and I were married when we both were very young. One day she hit me with a chair leg and ran off with the iceman, never to return. Later I was drafted and as soon as I was in the Army my wife started hollering for an allow ance. I don't think she deserves it, but have been told she has a just claim. How about it?
 A. As the law now stands, your wife is entitled to a regular Class A allotment. The only way you can stop these payments is by get. ting a divorce in which no alimony is grandted your wife. Whether you can get one while you're in the service depends on the law of your home state. Your Legal Assistance Officer can give you the data on the legal channels open to you.

"You have only to listen to en- emy. broadcasts to learn what the Nazis think of the weapons our war bonds buy" declared General H. H. Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Forces, on his return from the bat tlefronts of Normandy and in Italy. Nazi apologists refer repeatedly to the 'enemy's superb equipments, Unprecedented strength, and massive operations.'"
 "We furnish our men with the best war weapons that war bonds will buy, and this practice is pay ing dividends" the General con. tinued. He gave his wholehearted apaproval to the Fifth War Loan Drive in the Service Commands.
 "The Army Air Forces, or any other branch of the service, can't operate on hope or good intentions. Planes, bombs, and gasoline cost money, and every bond we buy IS another move toward final victory. There is another reason, too, for buying war bonds. know of no

AAF First Formed
 In August 1907

On Tuesday, August l, the Army Air Forces will celebrate it's 37th birthday and Army air bases and air fields throughout the continen- tai United States will participate in commemorating the day in 1907 when an Aeronautical Division was established in the Office of the Chief Signal Officer, U. s. Army.
 The division was formed with a personnel of one officer and two en- listed men Ito study the flying ma chine and the possibility of adapt ing it to military purposes" There were no airplanes assigned to the division.
 Compare that picture with the Army Air Forces of today with it's 21a million men and something more than 100000 planes and the phenominal growth becomes evil dent. The Army Air Forces, in less than four decades, has risen from an idea to the greatest armada of flying men and machines that the world has ever known.
 In 1907 the airplane was an un- known quantity. Less than four years prior to that time, on De- cember IT, 1903, the Wright broth CTS, Orville and Wilbur, had made the first controlled power airplane flight at Kitty Hawk, N. C., and during the interim little had been done to advance the cause of the "contraption."
 Late in that year, however, the Army asked for bids for an air plane capable of flying for 60 min- utes and of attaining speed of 40 miles per hour while carrying two men whose combined weight did not exceed $50 pounds and on Febru- ary 10, 1908, contract was signed for the Wright brothers plane.
 In September, 1908, the first plane delivered by the Wrights crashed during trial flight at Fort Myer, Va, injuring Orville Wright and killing It. Thomas E. Selfridge, his passenger. In June, 1909, the Wrights returned to Fort Myer with a new bi-plane which remain ed aloft for one hour, 20 minutes and 40 seconds. The Army accept ed 1.-the worlds first military air plane. ..-.
 The airplane had wing spread of approximately 40 feet and a wing area of 500 square feet. It weighed 800 pounds empty and had two propellers, mounted in the rear, which were chain-driven by small gasoline engine. In it's trial flight, the plane was piloted by Orville Wright with It. (later Major Gen.) Frank P. Lahm riding as passen- ger.
 Under the terms of the contract the Wright brothers had to teach two Army officers to pilot the air plane and It's. Lahm and F. E.
