she defeated Mrs. Virginia VOL
fenden Kovacs of Oakland, Calf.

women's tennis tournament at the
Merton Cricket Club.
Mrs. Kovacs was lar off the
form she displayed yesterday in
upsetting Mary Arnold of Los An

smoothly that she made the con-
test look easy. 1t was her fourth
victory over Mrs. Kovacs in their
five meetings of the last few years.
Just before taking the courts,
Mrs. Kovacs received a telegram
from her tennis-playing husband,
Pvt Frank Kovacs of the army,
Saying, IDEAL with Arnold very

sparkling play with which she
scored the only two upsets in the

RUSSIA TO EASE
UP ON POLAND

WASHINGTON, July 23.-R)-
Russia appears to have decided or
course which would avert add
tiona1 differences with Great Brit
ain and the United States over
recognition of the Polish govern
ment.
Specific news on the situation
came today from London, Where
a Moscow radio broadcast was
heard announcing that the Polish
national council in Warsaw had
set up a Polish committee OF ma
tional liberation to administer lid
Grated areas of Poland.
The only such areas are those
where the Red army is advancing
on Gernnany's eastern front.
Faced with a similar problem
in France, the United States and
Britain are working with the
French committee of national lib
Grafton under Gen. Charles De
Gaulle as an administrative au-
thority although they do not rec
ognize it as an actual provisional
government. The intention ulti-
mately is to let the French people
pass on their rulers.
In the case of Poland, the Unit
ed States and Britain recognize
the Polish exiled government at
London.
The fear has been that the Rus
slams would set up government
for Poland which they recognize
and which would make blunt
claims for Polish sovereignty in
conflict with the claims of the ex-
lied regime.
On January l of this year the
Polish national council was set up
at Warsaw as a peoples resist
ance organization, with close
links with the Soviet sponsored I'M
ion of Polish patriots From that
time on there was expectation
that the council might find So
luton satisfactory to Moscow on
the question of Polish administra-
ton.
Should the Russians use the
same formula used by President
Roosevelt in dealing with the
French committee and pass the
whole question of Polish govern
ment over into the time when the
people themselves can vote on
their rulers there probably would
be little Washington could find
to criticize even thou gh it un--
doubleday would continue to deal
with the exiled government at
London against the day when it
too must submit itself to a vote
of the people.

ABROAD, LABOR GROUP TOLD

NEW YORK, Dec. 80 (ANP)-
Stability and "well being" within
nations is imperative if interna-
tonal controversies and frictions
are to be avoided, is the view held
by the A m r i c n government
toward the work now going ahead
on the organization and mainte-
nance of peace.
The view was set forth by Lee
Pasvelsky at the American labor
conference on international affairs
here, and represented the first ma
ior expression on the work of the
economic and social council created
at Dumbarton Oaks in the tenta-
tive proposals. Subordinate to the
general assembly of the united ma
tions, the council will be RESPONSE
BILE ultimately for the development
Of policy and coordination of action
in the fields Of social and presuma-
bly, political betterment of the men,
Der nations and the colonies and
inundated areas of the world.
Citing the specialized agencies
which have already been estab-
lished, namely the food, labor and
monetary conferences, Mr.. Pasvol-
sky, head of the special political
studios division of the state de-
partment, declared that "plans are
being worked out for similar action
in the fields of trade, commodities,
cartels, other forms of transporta-
ton, communication, health and
Others"
Mindful of the need for promot-
ing human freedom and human
progress" the official explained

It's a sad thing we humans are
unable to see the end from the be-
ginning at times | recall very
vividly the early days of Heat Wave

gratifying. There were days when
the traditional wolf not only

to figure out. To the undying credit
of these livewire gentlemen-they
doped it out. Today, the Heat Wave

the actual proprietors of record.
The secret word that worked
towards this human interest sue
cess story might be found in the
term ''informality.' Louie and

not least-the forgotten man of

@. Who was the first person to
see the heavens through tele-
scope?-C. N. S.
A. This distinction belongs to
Calico Galilei, who constructed a
crude telescope and first examined
the moon through it in 1909.
@. Did the Dutch in the past flood
their lands to keep out invaders?-
S. A. B.
A. This was done several times in
the 10th and 17th centuries during
the war with Spain. The armies of
Louix XIV of France were kept out
Of Amsterdam by flooded fields in
1872.
Q. At what age do abilities begin
to decline?-E. L. H.
A. Thorndike in writing of the
abilities of men says that as a rule
mans achievement rises till the age
Of 40, holds level till 54, then falls,
but only slowly, until 10.
@. Which came first, morning or
evening newspapers?-R. D. E.
A. In England evening journalism
was at first merely supplemental
editions of morning papers, giving
the latest foreign war news. The
first important London evening
paper was the Courier, founded in
1892.
@. What is the greatest height to
which men and women grow?-
S. N. P.
A. No historically recorded giant
ever measured more than 9ha feet.
Hence this may be considered as the
limit to which man may grow with
out becoming top-heavy and losing
balance.
@. Were rats known to the an
cients?-T. H. F..
A. Scholars have discovered no
reference to the rat in Greek and
Roman literature. The animal prob
ably lived in the wild state in the
deserts of Arabia and Egypt. The
black rat was introduced into Europe
at the time OF the Crusades and the
destructive brown rat, somewhat
later.

sonality, who makes friends quickly
and is always accompanied by a
large number of competent news
papermen. This does him good in
that it enables him to get his stuff
regularly IN all the big papers and
usually on the first page.
Willkie Overpraised.
1t is true some of the more unre-
strained of his press admirers too
obviously overpraise his perform
ance. For example, one of his Wis
consin speeches was recently de-
scribed as so great that SO years
hence our grandchildren would be
reading it in the histories. This re-
called that now totally forgotten
speech on postwar plans of Vice
President Wallace, which one of the
professional liberal writer's COM
pared favorably to the Gettys-
burg address.
Mr.. WILKES recent speeches have
all been good, but none of them will
go down in history. However, that
makes no difference. The important
question is: viii they sway the Wis
consin voters next Tuesday? If
he loses that State he will have
sustained almost irreparable dam
age. If he wins there, he will not
be sure of the nomination, but he
will have demonstrated the effec-
tiveness Of his campaign methods;
he will have shown real strength
with the people and be in far bet
ter position than he is now. Even
though the Dewey attitude will have
helped him win, still the winning
will enhance his prestige.
