. ..-.. ;s :. i. SPEAKING Q e BOOKS
Joe PRIVATE SAYS :;

Base Library this past week. Why not stop in and take look around?
 heartily recommend the follow ing:
 "Mr. G. Strings Along," by Rob- ert Wilder, because of its pure CD weakness in the Thorne Smith manner. MT. c. made little jumping frogs, and (quote) he also made Christine, blonde, 1.-the and lovely. It all began when Washington de- cided to convert the Grafton Jump ing Frog Company to the total war effort, and descended upon the little town of Two Forks, N. C., with blueprints and bulldozers. When the smoke cleared away MT. G, found himself the proprietor of row upon row of nice bright cottages for the workers, a well-stocked commissary, and neat grass rec reation area-all surrounded by high wire fence. Unfortunately, however, they had forgotten the factory. MT. G. went to Washing ton to remedy the oversight and came back accompanied by the grand-daddy of all hangovers-and Christine! As one reviewer puts it "This book has the value of three extra dry martinis taken on an empty stomach or two quarts of champagne at the Stork Club"
 ."The Razor's Edge," by w. Som- erset Vaughan, because it stands with the authors "Of Human Bondage" as one of the greatest English novels of our time. Liter ary Guild selection for May, this is a story of many diverse characters, against the background of Paris, the Riviera, and the East, which | have been the scenes of many of Maugham's great narratives. Larry Darrell is the radiant and appeal ing hero and the novel revolves around his quest for a faith which will give him power over the ma- terial world.
 "The Night Is Ending" by James Ronald, author of "Old Sol- diers Never Die," because it is an entertaining yarn, a novel that twill make you feel good" When you meet a man, or woman, who faces hard, difficult job and sees it through, who assumes responsi- bility for somebody else, you feel good-you'll meet such a character in Ruth Malvern, heroine of this warm and eventful novel.
 "The Bowl of Brass" by Paul Wellman, because it is a red-blood- ed, rousing story, western of the better sort, true to the time and region, violent, and always inter- esting. Readers of "Angel With Spurs," MT. Wellman's earlier novel, will greet his latest book with enthusiasm.
 "The Case of the Crooked Candle" by Erie Stanley Gardner, because Perry Mason is one of my favorite detectives and he can't appear too often for me. This is a mystery in the best Gardner tradi- tion chockfull of action (mighty fast) angles (inventive and volup- tuous), and aqua puru (meaning watertight solution).
 These are just samples from our new book shelf-this mornings mail brought ten to twenty more, just as new, just as interesting, VISIT YOUR BASE LIBRARY.
 Continuing our weekly feature, "A BOOK FOR EACH MANS IN- TEREST" the following men please take notice:
 If Pfc. Rachs plans on much | more boating we suggest his stop ping by for SWIMMING, by R. J, Kiphuth.
 For Pvt. Ausby Lee, RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP, by W. l.. Ste phen.
 For Sgt. Savino, YOU AND | HEREDITY, by R. Scheinfeld.

DENIS CAIN:
F.D.R. Strengthened

In winning a fourth term, Pres.
Franklin d. Roosevelt carried the
Democratic party along with him In
both the senate and house, where he
now appears to be assured OF a
working majority on both inter-
national and domestic issues.
Their own positions materially
weakened by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey's strong stand for an etfec-
tive international organization to
preserve world peace, staunch COP
nationalists were among the de-
feated, with the result that F.D.R.'s
peace program should encounter
easier shedding In the senate, where
details will be worked out, and in
the house where funds will be ap-
propriated.
All of the so-called nationalists did
not suffer defeat, but prominent
among those that did were Sena-
tors Nye in North Dakota, Dana
her in Connecticut and Davis in
Pennsylvania, and Representatives
Fish Of New York and Day and
Mas of Minnesota.
Although the Democrats failed to
make any gains in the senate, they
stand Just short of q two-thirds ma
jority necessary for ratification Of
foreign treaties, margin they may
make up by an alliance of such
COP internationalists as Ball Of
Minnesota.
In the house, however, the Demo
Gratis made big gains, increasing
their membership to over 240, while
the Republicans fell far below their
prediction strength of 2l0.
Thus, although President Roose-
ve1t's winning margin was below
that of 1910, the Democratic victory
built around his leadership assumed

AS usual, the President drew his

large industrial centers, where eff
cient political machines like Ed
Kelly's of Chicago, Tammany's Of
New York and Frank Hague's OF
Jersey City piled up tremendous
pluralities which traditional Repub-
Ican rural districts could not coun-
ter-balance. AS 1t was, Governor
Dewey did not run as strong in the
country areas as was anticipated.
Much credit for getting the vote
out in the big industrial centers
went to Sidney Hillman's CLIO Politi.

circles.

DISEASE:
Hold Line

Although there has been no appre-
ciable increase in the rate Of
venereal disease in the u. S. since
the war, an increase among service
men in recent months foretells q
letdown in the vigorous campaign
which has been waged against these
scourges, officials said.
Source of great future danger,
Surgeon Gen. Thomas Parran Of
the U. S. public health service
said, lies in the spread of these dis
eases by untreated people through
out the country in the postwar Pc
riod of migration and possible decn-
nation Of moral standards. 3
While the overall venereal disease
rate is at an al-time low in the
navy, it was said, infection among
personnel in the U. S. has increased
"a per cent above 1912. The rate
also has taken a jump in the army
since January, 1914, it was re-
ported.

I'll Take You Home Again,
Kathleen'-To Germany

Although frequently played on
programs of Irish songs, "In
Take You Home Again, Kathleen"
has no Gaelic connection. It was
written about 10 years ago by the
American composer, Thomas
Westendorf, as a musical confir-
nation of a promise made to his
wife, Kathleen, that he would take
her back to visit her old home In
Germany.

EUROPE:
Things to Come

All along the 460 mile western
front, fighting was confined to local
actions, but the Germans, for one,
brooked no misgivings on the COM
parative calm.
While the British were clearing all
Of southwestern Holland, and U. S.
forces were improving positions
near Aachen in the north, Metz
in the center and the Vosges noun
tains in the south, the Nazis claimed
that the Allies were striving to OBJ
tain springboards for great drive
on the Reich, and only using rs per
cent of their troops.
Though action In the west was
local, it was bitter, with very
tough fighting below Aachen,
where doughboys worked
through the fir and pine Hurt
gen forest in Indian fashion ON
the road to the Rhineland.
AS the Doughboys pushed through
the splintered Hurtgen forest, both
sides made free use of air and artil-
lery bombardment for maintenance
Of open positions outside the wooded
tract.
It was there, in little hamlets, that
some Of the bitterest fighting oc-
CURED, with tiny villages changing
hands in close-quarter action.
Fierce fighting also took place in
the foothills of the Vosges noun
tains, where mixed U. S. and
French units pounded forward to-
ward the great passes leading into
southwestern Germany. AS Allied
troops worked forward, the Nazis
pushed in reenforcements in an eff
fort to check the advances.
Showing off in a surprise attack
about Metz after q heavy artillery
bombardment, U. S. troops inn
proved their positions along a SIS
mile front, encountering mainly
small arms fire from Germans
caught fiat-footed. In developing
their attack, Yanks braved icy
streams, chest-high, to get across
to the opposite banks to establish
bridgeheads and cover for engineer
ing corps throwing across bridges.

STEEL:
Expand Capacity

Greatest in the world, the U. 8.
steel industry made substantial ex-
pansion since 1910, adding 1914 mil
lion tons to capacity at a cost OF
over 2 billion dollars, half of which
was put up by the government.
AS of July 1, figures showed that
the capacity Of blast furnaces for
refining raw ore was raised to over
681a million tons, while capacity for
further processing of iron and scrap
into steel was boosted to over 81
million tons.
Most vivid indication of the size
Of the U. S. industry lies in its COM
parison with that of other coun-
tries, with Germany's prewar
capacity rated at around 20 million
tons, and Great Britain's at Is mil
lion tons.

PACIFIC:
Stormy Weather

Raging hurricanes known through
out tropical waters swept across the
/. Philippines, and u. S. troops driv-
ing down the northwestern half of
Leyte island toward the Jap base
of Ornnoc were caught in the swirl
ing whirlwind and their attack
slowed. s 2a
A1 Having cleared the enemy from
virtually all Of the eastern section
of Leyte, Gen. Douglas Macarthur 8
forces swung around the northern
tip OF the mountain range blocking
off the western coast, and were
driving down 1t when the hurricane
struck.
With one Of Japan's top mill
tarists, General Yamashita, put
in command Of the enemy's
forces, the foes determination
to put up a fight for the Philip
pines was well reflected In their
stand ON Leyte, where elements
Of four Jap divisions entrenched
themselves in the hiIly and
tangled terrain ON the west
coast to face the oncoming
Yanks.
AS q first-class slugging match
developed on the ground, air COM
bat also increased in tempo, with
U. S. carrier-based planes attack
ing enemy airdromes and supply
depots in an effort to weaken the
eneny's air force, while Jap land
based craft conducted harassing
raids on U. S. positions on Leyte.
BIosU Hard
Hurricanes that strike the Philip
pine area blow strong winds. In ad-
dition to their circular whirl the
tropical cyclones move in their en-
tirety, slowly at first, and usually
no more than 20 miles an hour.
Some storms, however, have at
tanned speed of 40 miles or more
per hour. The usual direction for
those north of the equator is west
ward, then northwestward.
Tropical cyclones are usually at
their strongest in the area stretching
northward from Leyte.

CHEESE:
Netv Markets

With American consumers com-
ing to appreciate the fine quality Of
domestic production Of such cheeses
as roquefort, camembert, gorgonzola
and Swiss, u. 8. producers are ex-
pected to obtain an increasing vol
ume of business in these types over
importers in the postwar years.
Before the war, imports of Euro
pean cheese averaged over 50,000,-
600 pounds annually, with roquefort
and camembert coming In from
France, gorgcnzola from Italy and
Swiss, Of course, from Switzerland.
With U. S. Npicureans becoming
accustomed to American brands Of
these rarities, however, they are ex-
pected to more and more satisfy
their taste for roquefort from Illi-
nois, Minnesota, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin producers; for camembert from
New York and Wisconsin; for gor-
gonzola from Wi~consin, and for
Swiss from Wisconsin, Illinois and
Ohio.
In prewar years, overall u. 8.
cheese production totalled around
zoo, ,000, 900 pounds, with output soar
ing to 9l6, 200, 900 pounds in 1941.
