Push Ore Production

In order to meet the call for tantalite
for the war industries of the United
Nations, the government of the Belgian
Congo has decided to make an excep-
tional effort to increase the production
of this rare ore within the shortest pos
sible time. An official organization en-
joying legal status has been formed, to
be known as the "Regie of strategic
ores" This body will assist the man
agements Of mines in which difficulties
are met with in working the tantalite
deposits. The new organization is en-
powered to make contracts with third
parties for the prospecting and working
OF tantaliferous ores, and will itself take
over and continue prospecting work on
sites not yet granted to mining con-
Germs.
In order to stimulate all efforts to
the full, the government undertakes to
bear any actual losses which may re-
suit from prospecting, working and SELL
ing tantaliferous ores. This guarantee
will be given to any operator who applies
for 1t, and will cover the whole of his
activities in connection with the pro-
duction Of tantante.

By Richard l.. Stokes

Upon West Point, third of q CEN
tury ago, descended an apparition from
Moberly, Mo-, which seemed to many
cadets farm-boy caricature come to
life. At the age of 18, the new plebe
was feet tall and weighed 100 pounds.
His legs were long, and he was rangy,
gangling and lean. Big, powerful hands
burst from his coat cuffs. The hair and
beetling brows were jet black, and the
complexion was swarthy.
Out of caverious sockets squinted
narrow eyes of indeterminate hue, re-
membered by some as gray and by
others as dark brown. The nose was
large, and sizable ears hared from a
gnomelike skull. Instead of the deep
accents promised by such a frame, the
voice was a high, thin tenor. The
stripling's reserve and shyness. were
beyond belief. All in all, the type was
that which causes women to exclaim:
my dear, he's so homely it's positively
fascinating!"
1t turned out that the gaunt new
conner had been christened Omar
name redolent of the glamorous East
and rose gardens in Persia. To his fell
low students this was stroke of pure
comedy. As result, the Missouri lad
was perhaps the only cadet In the
records of the Military Academy who
never had a nickname. A few class
mates-among them "Ike" Eisenhower,
who continues to practice to this day
addressed him by the diminutive of
Brad" Majority instinct decided that
his actual name was the drollest of
all possible soubriquets. It was felt
that the youth and his cognomen were
a pair Of oddities perfectly joined to-
gether. For West Point in general,
Omar he was and Omar he still remains.
Despite handicaps. he managed in the
course Of the next four years to stamp
a profound impression upon his asso-
ciates. An entry devoted to him in the
1915 "Howitzer," Cadet Corps annual, is
thought to have been written by class
mate. Col. Joseph D. Arthur, who is now

tegic game of bridge and is held dan
gerous antagonist at poker.
Anecdotes cluster readily about so
colorful parsonage. One which illus
trates his fervor as Nimrod goes back
to the years 1934-8, when he was as
signed to West Point as an instructor.
During this time, after pains of incredi-
BILE persistence, he wrung from the War
Department consent for officers to hatch
pheasant eggs in their attics and rear
the chicks in their backyards In due
time the birds were freed In the nearby
countryside. Thus q reservation was
stocked which still provides sport for
the Academy.
Out of the notably brilliant class Of
1915, which included not only Eisen-
hover but Lieut.. Gen. Josep T. McNar-
ney, Deputy Chief of Staff, Bradley was
the first to pin star on his shoulder
strap. He got his earliest leg up from
Gen. George c. Marshall, who In Febru-
ary, 1941, named him commandant of
the Infantry School at Fort Benning,
Ca, with the formidable task of con-
verting that establishment to a war
footing. The appointment carried with
it temporary rank as brigadier general,
which incidentally is Bradley's perma-
nent grade today. He had attracted
Marshall's eye a decade before when the
future Chief of Staff was himself COM
mandant Of the Infantry School, and
Bradley was an instructor there.
He found relief in long hikes from his
duties at Fort Benning. The CROP
conscious soul of the ex-farmboy was
Mortified by profusion Of wild berries,
grapes, plums and figs which he saw
running to waste. Soon, in his home,
he was operating cannery for preserv-
ing fruit. At the post exchange there
resulted often the quaint spectacle of
Army wives clustering about the In
fantry School commandant and begging
to be told the secret Of how he made
blackberries jell.
When he was in command of the 28th
Division, in 1912, at Camp Livingston, it
is related, Maj. Gen. Bradley donned
coveralls and fell In behind regiment
going on 25-nile night hike. HIS In

sigma and features were indistinguish-
able In the darkness. After few miles,
one man dropped out The general
took his rifle and carried it. After the
18th mile, several began complaining of
painful feet. TT isn't as bad as that
Bradley objected mildly. A general out
cry went up from the weary soldiers
Listen to the fifth columnist!" they
chanted. They blushed with embar-
rassment few hours later, but Gen.
Bradley was merely amused.
Once an enlisted man seeking to be-
come an officer candidate at Fort
Benning went to see the commandant
and had long talk with him. II came
away feeling that was the general" he
told his comrades later. Bradley takes
all his phone calls himself, and enlisted
men can see him at any time. Another
time, at Camp Livingston, he learned
that his sergeant driver had furlough
and no transportation. Gen. Bradley
loaned his own car to the driver, and
betook himself to a jeep during the
sergeant's absence.
In North Africa and Sicily he was no
dug-out commander, but spent to 8
hours a day riding about the front in
his jeep, which is fitted with sponge
rubber cushions. Instead Of telephoning,
1t was his custom, as commander of
United States Army I'd Corps, to ride
in person almost every day to the head
quarters Of each division and talk things
over face to face. His command post
was generally close to the battle line.
Once he moved into a bivouac from
which artillery was still firing, and took
a good working over from German dive
bombers which were after the American
guns.
Crack Shot With Rifle.
On another occasion, in Sicily, the
command car in which he was riding
was shot up by sniper. Armed only
with carhines, Gen. Bradley and two
aides boiled out Of the car and began
looking for the sharpshooter, who took
to flight. Perhaps 1t was Just ~ well.

the District of Columbia. It began with
a quotation by way of motto: True
merit is like a river; the deeper it is the
less noise it makes" The author re-
counted that Omar won his letter in
both football and baseball, and ended
on note of curious foresight:
His most prominent characteristic is
getting there and if he keeps up the
clip he's started, some of us will some
day be Dragging to our grandchildren
that sure, Gen. Bradley was classmate
of mine"
Conqueror Of Bizerte.
1t. Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley has
"got there" to such purpose that he was
recently nominated by Gen. Eisenhower
to be senior American ground COM
mander In Britain. Thus he entered the
charmed circle of upper-level chieftains
who are intrusted with the overthrow
OF Hitlers continental fortress. Pre-
viously he had won fame as conqueror
of Bizerte and the most brilliant Amer
ican field commander as yet disclosed
by the war.
After his military eminence, friends of
Gen. Bradley are proudest of his celeb
rity as the Army's top all-round athlete.
In his time he accomplished the feat of
attaining championship rank in three
widely different sports. At skeet his
shotgun blasted out again and again
the perfect score Of Is. He acquired
such proficiency at golf as to become
runner-up in the Army tournament of
1929. But his true passion was baseball,
for which he was born natural" Of
big-league caliber. He was swift and
daring base runner. His batting aver
age at the Academy was 1888. His spe-
ialty, however, was cutting off runs at
the plate by means of throws from the
depths of left field that were terrifcally
fast and phenomenally accurate.

Republicans could collect any sum
desired.
The Democratic Committee meeting
outlined the partys forthcoming cam
paign platform when it said:
1--WE believe that history has drawn
our issues. We are ready to set the IL
years of Franklin D. Roosevelt against
the preceding II years of Republican
'normalcy,' when America retreated into
futile isolation, when America sped into
wild imitation and made the depression
inevitable, when America sunk its Navy
and corruptly sold its Navy's oil re-
serves"
COP Also Divided.
While the Democrats are split over
conservative" and New Deal" policies,
the Republicans are split on interna-
tional affairs, with a vociferous minority
claiming to speak for the entire party.
So far the Republicans have offered no
positive domestic and foreign programs
the Mackinac declarations notwith-
standing. Mr.. Hannegan, following the
instructions of the committee meeting,
must prepare defense Of the New Deal
and gain support for the Presidents
win-the-war slogan. r4
Between now and the June conven-
ton, the Republican presidential candi-
dates will be fighting each other in the
State primaries and local conventions;
the Democrats, unless the President un-
expectedly announces that he is not q
candidate, will 60 ahead on the assump-
ton that the President wants a fourth
nomination. The liveliest contests will
be among the contenders for the vice
presidential nomination, and If the
President is renominated he. will prob
ably make his own choice, as he did of
Wallace in 1910, regardless of convention
sentiment.
Mr.. Hannegan will have the advan-
tage of magic of the Roosevelt name,
which demonstrated in 1910 that it was
stronger than the tradition against q
third presidential term. Until he is
beaten, Mr. Roosevelt will be "the
champ" with all the attraction that q
winner carries with him.
The young chairman made an obvious

and his egotistical manners The Re-
publican senatorial chairman is former
Senator John G. Townsend, jr., OF Del
aware, an amiable gentleman, who can
raise whatever campaign funds are
needed. The chairman of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee is Rep
reSentative Patrick Henry Drewry OF
Virginia, who has not shown notable
successes in recent by-elections His
Republican counterpart is smart, en-
ergetic Representative Charles A. Hal
leck of Indiana, who has become one
Of the Republican leaders in the House.
In the national committee headquar-
ters divisions the Republicans have the
edge, with a women's division under
Miss Marion E. Martin and it's publicity
under Mrs. Anne Wheaton. The Re-
publicans estimate that women will cast
so per cent of the votes this year, and
they have in progress an intensive pro-
gram of Republican womens meetings
throughout the country, down to the
smallest towns and villages The Re-
publicans give much credit to their
womens division for the recent party
victories in New York, New Jersey and
Kentucky. The Democratic women's
division is under the supervision of Mrs.
Charles w. Tillett, who has made rather
routine moves for organization thus far.
The Republicans research division also
is far superior to the Democratic, prob
ably because the Republicans have had
the ample funds in recent years to hire
researchers and filing clerks. The DEM
ocratic headquarters did not become
financially solvent until the recent Jack
son Day dinners.
Other Troubles Arise.
Republican publicity is directed by
James Selvage, formerly high-salaried
publicity manager for the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, and later
an advertising and public relations con-
sultant. Nicholson went to the Demo-
cratic Committee in 1929 from the
Washington Bureau of the New York
World at salary of $4,000 g. year.
After several recent attempts to re-
sign he agreed to what he calls token
salary" and continued with the COM
mittee. He is over 10 years old and his

experience and counsel are of great
alue to the committee, but the trench
mt attacks on the Republicans, when
e was called q smear artist" have
cen lacking in later years, one reason
eing that his assignment was to defend
ne present administration.
Outside the Democratic organization,
Hannegan will have his troubles,
on the one side from men like
Farley, Senator Burton K. Wheeler
Of Montana and Senator Edwin C.
johnson Of Colorado, who do not
want Roosevelt renominated, and
on the other side from the So
called Palace Guard" OF New
Dealers who usually play their own
game to further the Presidents
political fortunes. Vice President
Henry A. Wallace is also likely to
be playing lone hand to obtain,
many think, a vice presidential re-
nomination for himself.
AL the disadvantages, however,
are not clustered around the DEM
ocratic organization. Hannegan's s
instructions from the recent Ma
tional Committee meeting were
clear-he is to arrange the re-
nomination Of Roosevelt and to
prepare a "win-the-war" presi-
Dental campaign against whatever
candidate the Republicans name.
The Republicans are divided over
personalities as well as issues.
Spangler and Selvage will prob
ably be ousted after the Repub-
lican convention, certainly if Wen
dell L. Willkie is the nominee, al
most certainly If Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey wins the nomination. Gov.
John Bricker or Senator Taft OF
Ohio would probably retain the
present setup If either is nomi-
mated.

Republican organization as well as
the Dempcratic. This law limits
