PattOn's Promotion Washington Post)

General Patton has progressed from simple assault on individuals to collective assault on entire nation alities As Congressman Mundt observed, he has now succeeded in skipping the face of every one of the United Nations except Great Britain" The general insists that he excepted the Soviet Union, too. But the distinction does not seem to us to be vital French men, Belgians, Hollanders Chinese variety of South Americans and score of other nationalites all con- ceive of postwar world in which they will rule them selves. If General Patton's concept of the future is different he is unmistakably in the wrong job.
 There is mounting additional evidence Of other sorts that the general has indeed mistaken his voca- ton In his now celebrated talk at the inauguration of British Welcome Club for U. s. soldiers, he declared somewhat uridly, "The only welcoming l have done in some time has been welcoming Germans and Italians to bell have done quite lot In that direction and have got about l77OO0 tnere The boast peculiar one for soldier, anyway. But the general seems to have mixed up his figures as well as his role as a Satanic usher. Total Axis casualties German and Italian, in the Tunisian and Sican campaigns in which Patton participated, amounted according to Secretary Stimson to 10000 killed and 1000 wounded.
 The sooner our soldiers write home" General Patton went on to observe and say how lovely the English ladies are the American danes will get jealous and force the war to successful conclusion This was intended doubt gallantry and perhaps as a rough sort of military humor. The truth is' however that it is neither gracious nor amusing We do not mean to be priSsy about the matter, but we
 
 ought to talk with rather more dignity than this. When they do not they run the danger of losing the respect of the they command and the confidence of the public they serve.
 We think that this has happened to General Patton Whatever his merits straegist or tactlc- ian, he has revealed glaring defects as leader oi men, It is more than fortunate that these have become apparent before the Senate takes action to pass upon his recommended promotion in permanent rank from colonel to major general All thought of such promotion should now be abandoned That the War Department recommended it is one more evidence of the tendency the part of members of the mii- tary to act as clique club. His brother officers must have had some awareness of General Patton lack of balance; yet they were quite willing to vouch for him in order to insure the operation of the seniority system
 We confess to some perplexity as to the entire practice of permanent promotions in the midst of a war Why cannot all of these wait-snce the War Department itself is able to effect temporary ad- yancements in accordance with need-until the war is over, and judge the records Of our military men with some perspective? General Patton's case affords an object lesson.

TUESDAY, AUGUST l
 Adverse planetary aspects domin- ate today which may be hazardous for naval engagements. There is a good sign for national leaders.
 HEART AND HOME: Adapt ability to the new social and econ- omic order is imperative for middle-aged persons of experience. The tendency to cling to estab- lished customs will be evident, es- pecially among women who now must look forward, not backward.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Postwar international banking changes will arouse anxious concern as methods of inevitable financial readjustment is widely discussed. There is a sign of warning that Uncle Sam should be cautious lest he be draft ed as the worlds source of easy money.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: The im- portance of states rights will be advanced in arguments against con- tinued centralizing of Government in Washington after emergency measures are no longer needed. Republicans will support ideas hitherto largely monopolized by Democrats.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Radical forces that level long es- tablished social barriers will bring many changes in Great Britain this summer. Labor members of Parlia- ment will be alert and critical as high hopes for the United Nations are justified, ,N Persons. whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of in- tense activity, inspired by promis- ing conditions.

TIMELY ADJOURNMENT

Wallace leaders had expected that the convention would proceed that night with the Vice Presiden- tial nomination. But as the crowds continued to root for Wallace, Bob Hannegan came over and whisper ed to Mayor Kelly. Then they both came over and whispered to Con- yention Chairman Sam Jackson.
 You've got to adjourn the con- vention," said Hannegan.
 This crowds too hot" replied Chairman Jackson. T can't"
 You're taking orders from me- retorted Hannegan, and I'm talk ing orders from the President"
 Jackson then banged the gavel, finally moved adjournment. The vote for and against adjournment was close, many believing that the Noes" had it. Wallace rloor-ieader Senator Pepper of Florida started for the rostrum. Had he been quicker, had he asked for a roll call, it might have been that the convention would have proceeded to the nomination of Vice President. Tn that case, many observers agree that Wallace, not Truman, would have been the candidate.
 Even as it was, Bosses Flynn, Hannegan, Hague and Kelly look ed worried and half sick as they went home that night.
 Immediately, they swung into &C., tion. That night, Postmaster Gen. eral Frank Walker telephoned al- most every chairman of every State delegation. How many post masterships he promised, is his secret. That night, California's Bob Kenny, supposed to have been for Wallace but a great pal of Ma tional Treasurer Ed Pauley, sud- denly switched, began working for Truman.

SWITCH TO TRUMAN
 ACHIEVED

As the second ballot was about to end, with several States passing, Wallace still had 474, with Tru- man 477i4. Shortly before this, White House assistant Gene Casey of Maryland squeezed through the row of Maine delegates, seated just in front of Maryland. An ex-foot- ball star, Casey is no sylph, but he wormed his bulky frame past each delegate and, one by one, whisper ed in their ears.
 Suddenly, the Maine delegation, hitherto largely for Wallace, switch ed to Truman. Then Maryland Caseys own delegation, announced for Truman. Casey originally was appointed to the White House through Henry Wallace, but now he was obeying orders. He did his job well.
 One by one, other State dele gations fell in line. The carefully planned bandwagon rush for Tru- man was on. Up on the rostrum, they turned off the floor misro- phones beside each State delega- ton, so no delegates could protest the switch-over or demand a roll call Without microphones, their voices would have been drowned out in the din.
 Behind the rostrum, Senator Tru- man, modest, sincerely not seeking the nomination, sat on box eat ing a hot dog and drinking a bottle of pop. A voice came over the microphone: Will the next Vice President of the United States please come to the microphone.
 Truman did not budge. Not until the voice had boomed several times, did he realize it was refer ring to him.
 Back in the Wallace neadquar- ters, his enthusiasts, dejected, al- most in tears, filed by to shake his hand. Wallace was the only cheer | full one present.
 We've all got to get busy now and work for Nov. T." he said We've got to elect the ticket"
 Back at the bosses headquarters in the Blackstone, some one re- marked that it had been harder to defeat Wallace in 1914, when he was cheered, than it was to put him across in 1940, when he was booed.
 Roosevelt giveth, and Roosevelt taketh away" remarked another, as he packed up to return to Washington

ROBOT BOMBS

Hitlers secret weapon" can no longer be mini- mized In the past four weeks more than 5000 men, women and children have been killed and about 10000 wounded sufficiently to be hospitalized This is a heavy casualty list.
 < The losses, indeed, have thus far been consd- eraby greater than those suffered by our forces in the bloody Battle of Saipan, and more Brtons have been killed by the flying bombs than were killed during the first IS days of the Battle of Normandy. Nor is there any that the menace of these bombs has been or is about to be mastered. On the contrary there is still the possibility to be reckoned with that having had sufficient time to test the weapon the Germans will now begin to use heavier and more destructive bombs.
 To be sure, the casualties that occurred in Eng land during the peak period of the l94o-4l bhz were more severe In the month of April i94l, 7469 men, women and children killed by the Luftwaffe raiders There can be little doubt, however that the flying bombs produce a greater wear and tear on nerves than resulted from the daylight or night raids on London Those at least, had time limit The flying bombs come over day and night, regardless of weather. Moreover, as Winston Churchill said the weapon is literally and essentially ndiscriminate in its nature purpose and effect Thus there is kept alive in the minds of people living in vast area the constant threat of destruction
 The surprising thing is that the Germans waited so long to employ this weapon. The question arises Why did they wait until after the invasion had suc- ceeded before hurling it at England? Certainly before

D-Day, the ports of England crowded as they were with ships and men, were an ideal target for these destructive missiles Was the failure to employ them at that time related to the fierce and continuous pounding of the Pas de Calais area by the Allied air forces If that the case, then it is obvious that what was done once be done again. At any rate, destructive as these flying bombs they have not altered and alter the military situation They did not prevent our troops from capturing Cherbourg They will not stop further advance of Allied forces
 into France The menace of these flying bombs is real and not to be discounted.

 This spurred the bosses to even greater activity Ed Pauley began calling delegates down to his little office under the platform. Pauley is all wrapped up with Standard Oil of California, is high up in Democratic councils, can offer favors. Oscar Ewing, Democratic Vice Chairman and lobbyist for the Aluminium Corporation, also swung into action.
 Despite all this, Wallace proceed ed to roll up the impressive total of 429is votes on the first ballot.
 As his votes increased, White House assistants Jonathan Daniels and Jim Barnes stepped backstage to a hot-dog stand.
