As Key 10 Fourth Term
BY the Associated Press.

TULSA, Okla, Mar Ex-senator
Moore. Republican, of Oklahoma
said last night the voters of Okla
homa's I'd district might determine
in next Tuesdays congressional elec-
ton whether there will even be an
effort made for a fourth term"
Urging election of E. o. Clark. the
Republican nominee, Senator Moore
declared the voting would give
Oklahomans the first opportunity of
1914 to express their will toward
continuation of the New Deal.
The eyes of the Nation are upon
you," he said. This is a time to
furnish proof that YOU are
Americans who will dare to act in
the privacy of your voting booths
and show to the world that you are
not mendicants to political oil
garchy."
Senator Moore, whose address was
broadcast to the I'd district, said the
Democrat nominee, w. G. Stigler,
is backed by the Federal New Deal
machine" and "the mouthy, rubber
stamp Governor of this State"
The normally Democratic I'd
district is being watched nationally
for 1914 political trends. Senator
O'Daniel, Democrat, of Texas, anti
New Dealer. will speak at Muskogee
tonight and Senate Majority Leader
Barkley will appear in Mr.. Stigler's
behalf Monday at Muskogee and
Okmulgee.
Senator Moore declared Senator
Barkley's brave and courageous
stand" on President Roosevelts tax
bill veto was nullified under pres
sure and fear" when he sent "his
trucking letter" to the White House
THE real reason for the veto OF
the tax bill was not stated at all
The underlying reason lies in
the fact that, under the tax bill
labor unions must disclose what is
happening to the workingmen's
money.
1.-The Political Action Committe O,
the CIO has already raised some
100000 to re-elect Mr.. Roosevelt
and labor Congress and is urging
CIO members to raise much more
money"
Senator Moore said the tax bill
now passed over the veto provides
for congressional investigation OF
such sums of money as the $500, 600
fund John L. Lewis placed in the
Presidents hands in 1886 SO he
might sup at labor's table"

Bombing Still Leaves Capture
Of Casino as Job for Infantry
Italian Lesson Seen
AS Valuable for
Second Front
BY EDWARD P. MORGAN,

War CORRESPONDENT of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
ALLIED FORCE ADVANCE
HEADQUARTERS IN ITALY, Mar
23.-One great lesson which has de-
Yeloped. from the Casino campaign
and can be expected to be applied tc
the second-front strategy is the fact
that heavy bombing, as a tactical
operation, has very definite limita
tionS.
The role of heavy bombers In
leveling factories, shipyards and rail
junctions-known as strategic bomb
ing and which has achieved such
tremendous success against the
Reich-is a vastly different opera
ton from close support of ground
forces in battle-tactical bombing.
A week ago yesterday, in the
greatest tactical bombardment in
history, hundreds of American me-
dium and heavy bombers of the
Mediterranean Allied Air Force
poured hundreds of tons of ex-
plosives on the town of Casino
Monastery Hill and environs. To-
day fighting is flercer than ever.
Spectacle Not Wasted.
This does not mean that the
March IS spectacle was wasted. But
people who thought that our foot
soldiers and tanks could mop up
Casino in jigtime, after the bomb
ers had finished with the target
have had to revise their views.
The bombing itself-although II
literally razed the town and de-
mollshed much equipment-caused
few casualties.
The Nazis simply descended into
cellars and caves. "Sweated out
the thunderous ordeal, and then
emerged to man their beautifully
placed defense positions.
1t Is impossible to make pre-
else assessment while the battle is
still raging, but although without
the bombing we would not be as far
along with the Casino campaign
as we are, it created more serious
problems for the ground forces than
had been ed-destruction
of road segments necessary to the
Allied advance, creation of tank
traps by rubble and craters.
Casinos Lessons Valuable.
On a position not blessed with
such fortresslike natural defenses as
Casino and Abbey Hill possess.
heavy bombers might be much more
efficient. But in the front line,
where our troops and the enemy's
are face to face, and where bomb
ing on a massive scale of one side
will Immediately affect the other
sides operations either directly or
indirectly heavy air bombing's eff
fectivencss will always be fettered.
Casinos lesson may be extremely
valuable. Many strategists of air
warfare have feared that when the
invasion comes, the Allied strategic
air forces might be asked to lead a
tactical operation in such strength
that their primary function Of de-
Stroying the ReichsWehr at its
Source-the production lines-would
suffer Heavy bombers surely will
continue to get tactical assignments.
But it seems safer than ever to con-
clude that the preponderance Of
their strength will continue to hit
far behind the lines at Nazi industry
and transportation as is now being
done.

Among the other troubles encoun-
tered by American infantrymen
fighting in Italy is a new portable
prefabriCated pillboX used by the

Albany Democrats
Urge Far|ey's Custer
As State Party Head
BY the Associated Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Mar. %
Sentiment for stripping the New
York State Democratic chair
manship from James A. Farley,
considered a leading party foe
of a fourth term for President
Roosevelt, has been voiced by the
powerful Albany Democratic Or
ganization.
John j. O'Connell, jr., chairman
of the Albany County Democratic
Committee and nephew of Daniel
P. O'Connell, veteran party leader,
yesterday announced the organiza-
ton was "in favor and support Of"
replacement of Mr.. Farley and said
it would back Thomas J. v. Cullen
of Goshen for the Craftsmanship.
Albany Democrats, he added,
would "go down the line" for Mr..
Cullen at the organization meeting
of the partys State committee, to
be held within Is days after election
of members at the spring primaries
next Tuesday.
Farley Won't Comment.
The O'Connel organization in the
past has been friendly with Mr..
Farley and backed him when he
was elevated to the craftsmanship.
However, the group, on several oc-
casions, has disagreed sharply with
his policies.
Mr.. Farley, questioned in Pitts
burgh, replied:
mo comment on politics. I never
talk politics while on a business
trip. The meeting is two weeks off
and we'll wait until it comes up"
Mr.. Cullen, 81, has been Demo-
cratic chairman of Orange County
for seven years.
Mr.. Farley, campaign manager
for the first two elections of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, actively opposed the
latter's third nomination and has
not discouraged speculation that
he feels the same about a fourth
Reelection as State chairman, q
post he has held 13 years, presum-
ably would make Farley an in
fuential figure in the 1914 Demo-
cratic National Convention, to
which New York will send 102
delegates.
Other Leaders Not Consulted.
Mr. O'Connell's announcement
was described authoritatively as an
independent expression by the AL
bany organization, made without
consultation with other party lead
ers. 1t was expected, however, to
give impetus to and help solidify
whatever anti-Farley sentiment ex-
lists within the party.
Such sentiment has been ex-
pressed privately among some party
leaders since Mr.. Farleys 1910 break
with the President and increasingly
since the 1912 election of Thomas E.
Dewey as New York's first Repub-
lican Governor in 20 years.
Mr.. Farley, retaining State leader
ship of the party after resigning the
national Democratic chairmanship
four years ago, was at odds with the
President again in 1912 over the
gubernatorial nomination. He sue
cessfully backed John j. Bennett,
jr, then State attorney general,
against Senator Mead, Democrat. of
New York, the Presidents choice.
Mr.. Bennett was nominated, but
was defeated overwhelmingly by
Gov. Dewey, whose victory helped
make him one of the outstanding
possibilities for the Republican
presidential nomination.

tombstone in BostonS Old Granary
Burying Grounds which is pointed
out to visitors as the last resting
place of the original Mother Goose.
On ii appears the inscription: Here
Ives we body of Mary Goose, wife
TO Isaac Goose"
There's another school of thought,
however, which contends that ii
wasn't Mary Goose who gave her
name TO the immortal nursery
rhymes, but that il was Isaac's sec
ond wife, Elizabeth.
Born Elizabeth Foster in 1865, the
second wife of Isaac Goose, known
also as Vergoose, died a widow at
the age of 81.
The story has il that she went
down in history as world-famouS
rhymster because an irate son-in-law
secretly put her verses in print to
ridicule her. Actually he accom-
plished just the opposite.
Mrs. Goose's family life provided
her with the background for the
rhymes of Mother Goose. Mr.. Goose
believed in large families, and he had
ten children by his first wife. After
he, at SIS, married Elizabeth Foster
when she was 81 he sired another ten
before his death in ITO. Certainly,
she could have written these lines:
in a shoe;
She had SO many children she didn't
know what 10 do;
She gave them some broth, without
any bread,
She whipped them all soundly, and
sent them 10 bed"
Boston's Mother Goose came over
from England, and the belief is that
she brought with her verses by anony-
nous rhymsters who poked fun at
the frailties of royalty and ladies
and gentlemen of the court.
Among them was:
Needles and pins needles and
pins,
When a man marries his trou-
BILE begins"
The reference was TO Henry VIII

west AFRICA WANTS DATE
Of INDEPENDENCE SET

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (ANP)-|
"The native people of West Africa
want to know the date when the
European powers intend to vacate
their land and allow them self
rule" declared Prince A.A.N. Orizu
in his lecture "What West Africa
Wants." This was one in the series
entitled "A World View of the Ne
gro Question which is being pre-
sented by the Schemburg Collection
of the Negro Question" which is
being presented by the Schemburg
Collection of Negro Literature and
the General Education board.
Prince Orizu, who is the author
Of without Bitterness" described
the current problems and mass
movements among the people of
West Africa today. He pointed out
the goals of the growing educated
class and the powerful youth and
creasingly insistent upon national
self-government.
''What we need is the application
in West Africa by the European
powers of the formula which the
United States has used in dealing
with the Philippine Islands. The
United States has definitely set the
date for complete independence for
the Philippines. The same thing
should be done for West Africa" !"
Prince Orizu said that he thought
this date should be 1850. Other
Africans say the date should be
1860. He emphasized the great
need for education and is himself
interested in securing scholarships
in American universities for Afri-
can students. Vigorous discussion
followed these remarks.
The next lecture in the series
will take up the question of land,
labor and raw materials in East
Africa. These lectures are provid-
ed without charge to public Off
cials and heads of public institu-
tions and organizations who are
preparing themselves for the post
war period.
