WEIR air attacks against Japanese
positions in the Netherlands East
Indies are indicated. Some as
saults already have been made by
Gen. Douglas MacArthurs airmen
as far west as Java, but they have
been at almost the extreme range
Of Flying Fortresses and Liberia
tors.
Once the super-bomber-B-29-
gets into actor sometime this
year, according to Gen. II. II. Ar
mold. virtually all Jap positions in
the Indies and Philippines will be
within range.
Even without the giant planes,
many OF these positions will be
within comparatively easy reach or
Liberators and Flying Fortresses
as soon as the Japs are swept or
the northern coast of New Guinea.
Also, as soon as Rabaul is knock
ed out and big bomber bases can
be established on New Britain
. Island, the big Jap base at Truk
should come in for pulveriLing as
saults.
These attacks we're just a dream
a year ago. But the situation IL
different today. The Japs are dis
playing filters over the promised
assaults by warning their radio
listeners that even Tokyo must be
prepared Tor long-range bombing
attacks.
AS THE RUSSIAN-PoLISH
boundary displt~ unfolds, diploma
tic observers are becoming convinc-
ed that the recent conferences at
Moscow and Teheran did not pro-
dlce the -nplete success ana
sweeping agreemen that the pub
lie had been led TO believe.
Both the president and Secretary
OF State Cordell Hull stressed upon
their respective returns TO the
United States following the par
leys that discussions" were held
and agreem 'nts arrived at in prin-
ciple in a man, er far different than
was the concept either OF London
and Washington.
The bare fact that the Uniteu
States Government consented 10
use land was rcfused,) its good
Offices in an attempt to bring the
Russians and Poles together is a
clear indication that the President
and --ull see merit in Poland's con-
tention that her pre-l939 bound
aries should er estored-or at
least some better compromise
could be achieved.
Meanwhile, the disturbing news
carried in the L. S. S. R. official
organ Pravda OF rumors OF a sepa-
rate British-German peace are
seen as thinly.veiled Russian dis
pleasure over United Nations "med-
ding in what she considers 10
be an internal problem which is
not TO be "e subject OF interna-
tional conferences.

Improper Cooking

Another offensive factor Is the
improper cooking Of vegetables
and cereals. Too often the flavor
of the vegetable is gone and the
taste fiat because of overlooking or
the use of too much water. In too
many households the cereal is
lumpy, and the child revolts
against it not because of the taste
but because of the texture"
"Now, a word about food that
the child likes, especially his ia
vorite food This is generally
something that he is given only on
special occasions and then in small
amounts. The child likes this or
that food not so much because Of
its taste as because of the circum-
stances under which it has been
eaten. If he were allowed to select
his own food, the chances are that
he would have no marked taste
likes or dislikes. He would, in time,
learn to dislike food that was not
good for him, because Of the un-
comfortable after effects. The
chances are also that he would
sooner or later learn TO like food
that is good for him because he
would feel much better after eat
ing it."

Queries
Says Question on PIons
Is of 'Boudoir' Variety

President Roosevelt again parried
fourth term questions at his news
conference today, telling one re-
porter his question as to the Presi-
dents intentions was of the boudoir
variety and brushing aside another
query as to whether he would issue
statement after the Republican
convention expressing willingness to
take the Democratic nomination.
Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia, after
a Commute conference with the
President yesterday, told newsmen
he would not be surprised If Mr..
Roosevelt expressed willingness to be
bound by the mandate" of the
Democratic convention after the Re-
publican convention ends.
Asked whether he planned state
ment to that effect, Mr.. Roosevelt
laughed and said that's the form
the questioning is taking today but
that it wouldn't work. He added
that the reporter who asked the
question would have to write his
effort down as total failure.
Another reporter wanted to know
then whether he would make his
own decision as to his course or
whether he would reach q conclu-
sion after comforting with political
leaders.
The President responded by say
ing the conference was a press con-
ference and not boudoir confer
ence and that this question was q
boudoir question. The reporter re-
sponded that he had propounded 1t
simply because Mr.. Roosevelt had
said at an earlier conference that he
welcomed political questions.

Japanese Admit
Loss of Carrier
And 50 Planes
Acknowledge Inability
To InfHct Decisive
Blow of Morionos
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 23.-Jap-
anese Imperial headquarters
acknowledged today the loss of
an aircraft carrier, two oil
tankers and SO planes in an
engagement with planes of an
American naval task force west
of the Marianas, and admitted
the Japanese had been unable
to inf1ict decisive blow upon
the enemy"
The broadcast, recorded by the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion, said part of the japanese COM
bined feet had participated in the
action which began Sunday and
continued Monday
A communique issued earlier by
Admiral Chester w. NimitZ had an
nounced that American carrier
based planes on Monday had sunk
carrier of the new Hayataka class
and three fleet tankers in addition
to damaging a battleship, three
carriers and other war craft. The
Japs fed after dark.
Admiral Nimitz placed Japanese
plane losses at 353 Sunday and Is
to 20 Monday.
william L. Worden, Associ-
ated Press correspondent aboard
the 5th Fleet flagship, disclosed
in dispatch today that Guam
was the site of the Sunday air
battle. The Jap planes attacked
after long-range fights from car
riers and obviously, intended to
refuel at Guam. The feet planes,
however, prevented the Japs from
landing, and many of their pilots
who escaped lacked fuel to return
to their carriers)
The Tokyo communique asserted
the Japs had sunk or damaged five
Allied aircraft carriers and one or
more battleships, and asserted that
100 Allied planes had been DESTROYED.

assault on this island. a medical Of
flcer called members of a marine
artillery unit together and warned
them:
In the surf they must beware of
sharks. barracuda: sea snakes, ane-
mones, razor sharp coral, polluted
waters. poison fish and of all things,
giant clans capable of swapping on
a man like a bear trap.
Ashore, the men must take pre-

a wide variety of insects, snakes and

They were instructed to eat moth
ing growing on the island, nor to
drink its waters, nor to approach its
inhabitants.

the doctor asked If there were any
questions. A private raised his
hand.
"Yes?" queried the doctor.
