sible on completion OF the world Sc
curity organization.
After Senator Ball disclosed he
was withholding his support from
Gov. Dewey, he issued a clarifying
statement saying he also was not
satisfied with President Roosevelt's
position.
Urges Answers for Voters.
He followed this up with a declara-
tion at press conference yesterday
that American voters should demand
clear, unequivocal answers" to three
specific questions from the two can
didates.
Besides the one on which Mr..
Roosevelt commented today, the
questions were:
Will you support the earliest
possible formation of the United
Nations security organization and
the United States entry therein be-
fore any final peace settlement Is
made in Europe or Asia?
VIII you oppose any reserva-
tions to United States entry into
such United Nations organization
which would weaken the power Of
the organization to act to maintain
peace and stop aggression?
The Senator's question on commit
ment of American forces poses the
issue which is regarded in admins
tration circles as being the most
vital of all. That is whether
the Senate, assuming that 1t rati-
fies treaty based on the Dunbar
ton Oaks plan for the use Of mill
tary force to prevent aggression, will
be willing to give the American rep
resentative on the proposed United
Nations council blanket authority to
commit American forces to inter-
national police duties or whether he
will have to ask the specific con-
gressional approval in each instance
where the use of force is considered.
Administration officials believe the
effectiveness of the security organi-
zation will depend largely on its
ability to act quickly and decisively
in an international crisis. This
would be impossible If the American
delegate were required in each in
stance to seek congressional au-
thority before committing the
United States to employ its military
forces, 1t was pointed out.
Asked by reporter at his press
conference late yesterday whether
he believed Gov. Dewey could
answer the three questions without
an open break with the isolationists
In the Republican party, Senator
Ball replied: II doubt It,"
Senator Ball made 1t clear that
before November he intends to
state publicly his support of one of
the candidates and that his decision
will be based on their answer
or failure to answer-his three
questions.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

When Julius Caesar was about
~ years old, he set out on travels
which were to make him famous.
The travels were not taken with
the purpose Of seeing sights" They
we're for the purpose Of adding to
the power Of Rome in the land now
Valled France. In those days that
region was known as "Gaul."
Before leaving Rome, Caesar had
held the ONCE Of consul" With
a rich man named CraSsus, and
Evening star., 1944-03-01

with a general named Pompey, he
became one of the three main rulers
of the Roman empire.
For almost 10 years, Caesar
stayed away from Rome. He led
armies against German tribes at
the northern border of Gaul. Much
of the fighting took place in the
valley Of the Rhine River.
Caesar also made two invasion
of Britain. Roman legions fol the
first time stepped on the soil Of
Britain. For a time they camped
where the great city of LONDON
stands today.
Caesar set down many notes
about Gaul, and the battles which
were fought there. These notes
we're later placed in book form. Mil
lions of school pupils have studied
Caesars writings in Latin classes.
Shortly before his command in
Gaul was to end, Caesar received g.
strange report from Rome. Plans
had been made to take his troops
from him. and to leave him a pri-
vate citizen.
During his absence from Rome.
mis- rich friend Crassus had gone
away to fight the Parthians, and
had been captured and put to death.
Pompey had grown jealous of Cae-
sar, and had been working to make
himself the one and only ruler Of
Rome.
Caesar decided to strike fast and
hard. At the head of his loyal SOL
diers. he crossed a stream On the
border of Gaul ana marched on
Rome.
The stream was the Rubicon, and
we have today the expression
crossing the Rubicon," meaning
that we take an important step from
which we cannot turn back.

Crime Doesn't Puy-No. 1911

The South player in today's hand
must have been relieved when his
atrocious heart overcall was not
promptly doubled by West, and in
stead he heard his partner raise all
the way to game. But justice Is not
always blind; the punishment for
South's crime was merely being de-
ferred.

West opened the club jack. The
king was put up and East cashed two
club tricks. Then, hoping that
dummy's spades would not provide
sufficient discards for South, East
shifted to the spade jack. Declarer
soon found that Easts defense was
highly effective. The spades did not
break 3-3-it would have been a
travesty on justice if they had-and
eventually South had to lose two
diamond tricks and his contract.
1t is quite true that a remarkable
bid on North's part would have
compensated for South's dangerous
bid. North could easily have made
three no-trump. But how could he
tell, with his terrific heart support
and huge hand, that South would
have any trouble making four
hearts? The far more significant
point of the hand is that if South
had properly passed over one club,
North would have become the de-
clarer at four heart contract. and
with East on lead, only reasonable
skill and care on Norths part would
have been required to roll home"

FOOD ARSENAL
FOR BIG PUSH
AP Features

LONDON-Keeper of one of the
| largest arsenals for the invasion
of Europe is U. S. Maj. Gen. r. M.
Littlejohn, who doesn't have to
worry about his ammunition ex-
ploding.
Gen. Littlejohn's particular worry
is emergency food rations x C and
D which the ordinary soldier will
carry along with helmet and gun
when he hits the continents beach
es. This sandy-haired big chief
quartermaster knows everything
there is to know about Army feed
ing-and never forgets the tradi-
tional privilege of every soldier to
grippe about the chow.
AS former Infantry battalion
commander who has been at both
extremes of the chow line, he knows
that under barracks lights when
soldiers write letters, nine out of
10 mention supper. The general
also knows that chow, swell" or
lousy" as morale factor that
has no exact parallel anywhere IN
military life
That's why, although he's justly
fond of emergency rations, Gen.
Littlejohn's ideal is to get the SOL
dier off them and back to tradi-
tional food at the earliest moment.
Actually, his storepiles of K, and
c and D will be clock symbols of

Communique Indicates
Air Action Is CONTINUING

PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Pearl Harbor, Sept. II P.-
Japan's Air Force, caught up with
in strength along the approaches
to Manila, lost more than 200 planes
ir one day to American flyers raid
ing the Central Philippines from
aircraft carriers-with the battle
unfinished and first reports frag-
mentary.
1T is indicated that air operations
are continuing against strong enemy
opposition" Admiral Chester W..
Nimitz's Wednesday communique
slid in disclosing that carrier planes
were over Cebu, Negros and Panay
Islands in the Philippines all day
Monday.
Last Friday when Mindanao,
which has been attacked since
August 6 by land-based bombers Of
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, was blan-
keted by carrier planes of Admiral
William F. Halsey's Sd Fleet, only
eight Japanese aircraft were aloft
at the south end of the archipelago.
All were shot down, adding them to
so destroyed on the ground.
Cargo Ships Sunk.
But Mondays raiders, moving
north to within 200 miles Of Manila,
shot down more than so and wiped
out more than $50 on the ground,
in addition to sinking several cargo
ships "in the initial attacks"
The unspecified total of sinkings
was added to the 80 small cargo
boats and sampans sunk or dam
aged Friday off Mindanao.
Uncovering in strength of ia
pans air force recalled the recent
assertion of 1t. Gen. Millard F..
Harmon, commander of Army Air
Forces in the Pacific Ocean areas,
that the enemy probably was hoard
ing his air strength for defense of
the Philippines.
The carriers presumably were part
OF the powerful task forces which.
unchallenged by the japanese Navy,
have roamed waters east of the
Philippines for week, during which
Palau has been raided repeatedly
by planes and twice shelled by war
ships.
Palau and the Southern Philip
pines were kept under two-way at
tack. A communique TODAY from
Gen. Macarthur reported that his
land-based patrol planes bombed an
airdrome at Zamboanga, on Minda-
mao, and attacked airfields and a
seaplane base at Palau.
Bigger air blows along the south
ern invasion route to. the Philip
pines were listed against Halmahera.
