JAVA CAPITAL
 i5 SPRAYED BY U. S. B0MBERS
By MURLIN SPENCER GA. P. War Correspondent

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NEW GUINEA, Sept. 28-Batavia, the capital of Java, fell under the range of Gen. MacArthur's long, range bombers, when two Australi- San based planes strafed buildings for the first time in southeast Pacific history.
 The planes flew approximately 32O0 miles roundtrip, making the attack one of the longest combat flights in any war theatre. The assault caught the Japanese by surprise. First reports of the raid were fragmentary.
 However, Liberators escorted by Lightnings again hit the Dutch Celebes on Monday sinking a 1000 ton freighter. Catalinas staged an other heavy raid on this important Japanese base, sinking two other merchantmen, one of them 5000 tons.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON 1.t Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON - This columnist recently quoted from 1889 speech of Dewey's presumed Secretary of State, Joln Foster Dulles, to the effect that he had defended and apologized for the dictators just a few days after Hitler had taken all Czechoslovakia and at time when European newsmen were saying war was inevitable This drew sparks from COP Chairman Brownell and others, who claimed that the Dulles quotations were misleading and did not really represent his views.
 Since then, deluge of letters has poured in, some defending, some condemning, but nearly all wanting more information about MT. Dulles, with the result that this columnist has spent recent weeks in an exhaustive and, he hopes, objective research into the life and background of John Foster Dulles.
 Some editors may not be en- thusiastic about printing the re- suit. But since winning the peace after this war is the most import ant object of the war, it is not a bad idea to scrutinize thoroughly any man who is asked to cooperate with Secretary Hull for future peace as the representative of sev- eral million Republicans, and who we'll may be the next Secretary of State.
 Certainly few men in America are better qualified, as far as family background is concerned, to be Secretary of State. John Dulles uncle was the late Robert Lansing, Secretary of State under Wilson, a Democrat. His grandfather was John w. Foster, Secretary of State under Benjamin Harrison, Re- publican.
 John w. Foster was a truly great statesman. He handled many delicate diplomatic negotiations both before and after leaving the Harrison Cabinet-helped settle the war between Japan and China, strengthened out the Alaskan boun- diary, arbitrated problems with Russia in the Boring Sea.
 Originally, he was an Indiana politician, who served as post master of his community, was Re- publican State Chairman and, somewhat like Cordell Hull, came up the political ladder the hard way.
 His grandson, John Dulles, after studying at Princeton and in Paris, jumped immediately into the most

ENROUTE TO ALBANY WITH DEWEY, Sept. 28 Homeward bound from his western wars against the New Deal, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey gave renewed indications that he is ready with a swift coun- terattack against expected new blasts on the Republicans by Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Dewey announced he plans to speak in West Virginia on October 6, just one day after Roosevelt takes to the air to talk to Demo- cratic party rallies.
 The Governor smilingly told his news conference yesterday that he had been appraised of the Presi- dents radio date when a reporter remarked that a lapse of time so short between the two dates might not be sufficient opportunity to prepare an answer to anything the President might say. Dewey ob- served he had written the Okla homa City speech delivered Mon day night just 12 hours before.

Vital Ninth Round of War Now in Pacific;
 Japs 10 Fight Hard
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 - The Allies in Europe are fighting the tenth round and a knockout may come any day now. That theatre has the spotlight. But talk to any Navy officials here and they will tell you that some of the kleigs should be on the vital ninth round in the Pacific.
 It's the battle of the Philippines. The opening punches are being thrown by the Army and Navy Air forces now. It's considered as cer- tain as tomorrow's dawn that land ings of ground forces will follow. But there's no use to try to guess D-day for the Philippines any more than there was to try to guess the time of the second front in Europe.
 With one exception eff Russia enters the war against Japan) the recapture of the Philippines will be a more overwhelming blow against the Japanese than anything else the Allies can deliver.
 The Japanese know this and are expected to fight harder against landings in the Philippines than against any of the landings made so far in the entire Pacific area
 Their stakes are all the vital re- sources in their captured islands between the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, as well as those from French Indo-China to Burma on the continent.
 Take a look at your map and you'll understand why. Only su- perior naval force could maintain supplies from Japan south of For- mosa if the Allies hold the Philip pines. The South China Sea, which now is Japan's open door to sup plies of rubber, rice, iron, hemp, tin, cotton, tungsten, and other vital war materials, can be blockaded al- most as effectively as the English Channel.
 Not only would these materials be cut off, but also supplies to the Nipponese armies to the south.
 The strategic value of the Phi llippines, according to nearly all naval experts here, is the big key to the war in the Pacific-far more important than the bombing of Japan proper or any progress that can be made against the enemy on the mainland of China.
 Best information available here is that the Japanese have about 100000 ground troops in the Phil lippines, may add more in days to come, and might be willing to risk their entire imperial navy in a Pacific slugfest to defend the is lands.

Mexican Room

The Mexican room offers all
sorts of pleasant ideas and con-
tains some pieces that are real
envy-eXciters. A pair of silk
shaded lanterns with bases of
wood and mirror glass hang low
on thick blue ropes over a pair
of revolving tables. These are
built on low, round bases, are
hexagonal in shape, have open
bookshelf sides. They can be
twirled around at ease without
rising from ones chair.
We also liked sitting room
designed for Mama and Papa"
with its comfy armchairs, its
chests and cabinets. A Chinese
screen hides Mama S sewing ma
chine which isn't a modern af-
fair at all, but an old-fashioned
foot pedal model all spruced up
with paint and a stenciled de-
sign.

There is an interesting room,
a combination bed and sitting

and furniture is dark. but there
is no hint of gloom or drabness.
A bleached Oriental rug, light
coverings on the sofa and uphol-
stored chairs and light pat
termed chintz draperies offset
the dark tones. Instead of a
dresser, a secretary desk is
fitted out TO take care of
clothes, boots, toilet articles and
such.
The studio couch has its back
and one end upholstered and
tufted TO give ii sofa look in
the daytime. A love seat and
comfortable wing chair flank
the fireplace, and there is big,
flat-topped kneehole desk by
the window.

Visit Model Rooms
For Decorating Ideas
BY ELEANOR ROSS

IT is diverting and practical TO
L visit the display model rooms
arranged in department stores
and furniture houses at this
time of year. No one knows bet
ter than the manufacturers and
stores that there isn't a wealth
of new merchandise. but it is
felt that displays of what is
available are good morale
builders. and that they offer
many ideas that will be helpful
when newer merchandise is
available.
Forward House, as one stores
display is called, comes through
with a fine show based on war
time emergency living, although
some Of the settings are so lush
that they look more like movie
set living.

Dry Flat

Without rubbing too heavily,
scrub several square feet of the
surface, then rinse with clear,
warm water. Mop up as much
excess water as possible with
clean, soft cloths if the rug is
washed indoors. Continue this
procedure until the entire rug
has been washed. then reverse
the rug and do the other SHE.
If il is possible, wash the rug
out of doors, follow the rules
outlined above, and then nose
the rug 10 remove the soap,
but use gentle pressure. Let it
dry flat, preferably where a
warm breeze can blow over il.
Turn once or twice TO insure
complete drying on both sides.
After washing, the rugs may
be rolled and wrapped. and then
you will be sure of clean, az
tractive, bright floor coverings
for next summer.

through the loose weave. Use
an ordinary scrubbing brush
dipped in warm, soapy water.

just the same they will give
