When Roosevelt was boy his mother found him at the age of l4 studying Admiral Mahan, tough est, driest but, at that time, best of all naval strategists. FpR has been a naval strategist ever since, som e t mes planning peacetime naval maneuvers, once designing a small naval vessel " Actually he has run the Navy He has made some errors, the worst being that he is too lenient with his ad- mirals, doesn't fire those who make mistakes, just as he didn't fire Cabinet members who too kthe na- tion off tires " Jimmy Roose- welt called his father after the catastrophe of Savo Island in the Solomons, urged him to cut off heads But the same admiral who commanded at Savo Island also commanded when the Marines were masSacred at Tarawa However, main fact is that the Navy is seven months ahead of schedule in the Pacific.

 The American people, who are pretty shrewd, will make their de- ciSion next November, based upon whether the Roosevelt Democratic ticket is merely power hungry or really wants non-political victory and "a non-political peace, both achieved in cooperation with non- partisan Republicans.

War Leader Roosev lt-Far-
 sightedness is the chief quality for
 great war leader He must look
 ahead years ahead 5 FDR can be given credit for three things which few people realize. One, in 1883, long before most peo- pie thought a war was coming, he began diverting PWA funds to build warships. Eventually, the Republi- cans stepped in and stopped it.. But before they did, Roosevelt had a real headstart toward a big Navy. Without that Navy we would have been out of luck when war broke ; Two, FDR cleaned out U. S. arsenals to send shells, guns and to England in 1940 when the British Army lost every thing at Dunquerque and England was in danger of invasion. Prob ably he violated the law. Certain ly he brought down on his head the vitriolic opposition of COP But he saved Eng land If England had fallen we would all have been in the Nazi soup.

Military Secrets"-FDR has be- come more secretiye as he has re- mained in office. Losses at Pearl Harbor were kept from the public for one whole year when there was good evidence the enemy knew them immediately The Army and the Navy wanted to tell the real story of Jimmy Doolittle's bombing of Tokio long before it was released, but the President said no On the other hand, RooSe- welt has continued to champion civil liberties even in war, and criticism of him by the press never has been curtailed, though some time it has got under his skin. But when he was fought the press he has done it openly, sometimes called newsmen liars. Yet he has been above board where they could answer back, hasn't called in pub fishers privately, as Herbert Hoover did, and asked that newSmen be fired

necessary to satisfy Russia, keep the Red Army fig hting * Churchchill kept procrastinating. Many U. s. military leaders hung back, said we could never land. But Roosevelt argued that if we started the second front, Russia would then be free to march into Berlin. That seems to be happen ing now.
 FDR's Defeat or Victory-There is no question how the war is going. In Europe it will be won soon, and FDR can take credit for that speed as well as the mistakes How ever, the quicker he wins it, the less his chances of reelection :" Though the odds in Wall Street strongly favor Roosevelt, this ob- server thinks it is going to be a fifty-fifty race with the odds in favor of Dewey, if the European war is over by October In other words, Roosevelt is up against the toughest political fight of his life-if the Democrats hog the whole ticket If they make it non- partisan, put Republican on as Vice President, admit that the war is being fought by both parties and should be directed by both parties, then Roosevelt will win

By JESSIE FAINT EVANS,

The United States Army takes
its nutrition standards and its
sanitary precautions along with It's
troops, wherever they go, accord
ing to Col. Paul E. Howe. nutrition
expert in the office of Surgeon Gen.
Norman T. Kirk. Col. Howe has
Just returned from a six months
trip by air to various overseas
Army posts.
His purpose In making this trip
was to gain f1rst-hand information
on how Uncle Sans troops are
being fed away from their home
bases. He also had opportunities
to observe the feeding of the peo-
pie in the various countries where
he went.
The tour took him to England,
Italy, North Africa, China, Egypt,
Iran and India.
"If you stay with our troops abroad,
wherever they are, it is possible to
eat food extraordinary like that
prepared in Army camps in the
States" he said. "The Army's CT
bread Is the same everywhere,
literally the staff of life, as 1t was
meant to be. Our boys are eating
their cereals over there, too, and
their green and yellow leafy vege-
tables in great quantities, accord
ing to the best nutrition standards.
Don't Take Civilians Food.
"The United States" he re-
minded, makes a point of not nv-
ing off the country where its troops
may be stationed, in order not to
complicate the food problem for
civilians. Supply and shipping
problems to some far-away coun-
tries have presented difficulties,
but these are now being rapidly
licked"
Uniformly good" is Col. Howe's
comment on the health of our
troops overseas. Our standards of
sanitation and of nutrition make
it possible for them to keep well
In the totally different climates of
many lands, he believes.
Col. Howe also is enthusiastic
about the job which American hos
pitals and their stats are doing
in their care of the sick and
wounded and the emphasis placed
upon diets as assets in speeding
recuperation.
Heroic service Is being per-
formed by our Army hospital staffs
wherever our bases are maintained,
he said. He also warmly praises
the versatility and Ingenuity with
which our women Army hospital
dietitians are overcoming all sorts of
obstacles.
Religion Limits Some Diets.
One of the interesting things
about Col. Howe's journey is that
it emphasized that every nation
which he visited Is endeavoring to
work out diet related to its eco
nomy, although in many instances
this is not always ideal from a
nutritional standpoint. Food habits
are so strong with nations and
peoples, on the other hand, that
it is not always possible to change
them, even when starvation threat
ems. For instance, in India many
sects can eat only what their reli-
gion permits. One of the biggest
problems the Indian government
has is to teach its people to eat
wheat instead of the rice, the
supply of which has been made
quate in many of the famine
districts.
Colonel Howe calls attention to
the emphasis in English rationine
upon a nutrition basis, rather than
upon the point system as is the
case with us. "The English diet" he
says, may not be especially inter-
esting, particularly with regard to
