WASHINGTON. May 22-(INsy
Roosevelt, predicting
a final overwhelming Allied on
slaught against Germany's waning
military strength this summer.
gave Congress and the nation a
zero-hour preview today OF the
approaching invasion of Europe.
Russia's army, Mr.. Roosevelt
revealed. is poised to strike again
in crushing strength from the
east as the American and British
armies attack from the British
Isles.
Other Allied forces, simultane-
ously. will lash out at German
Mediterranean bastions from the
south, the President declared.
READY TO STRIKE
The blueprint for European In
vasion was given by Mr.. Roose-
welt in his fifteenth report on
lend-lease operations.
Omitted Nations forces are
now about TO strike new and
mightier blows at NaZi-occu-
pied Europe from offensive bases
In the west, the south, and the
east" the President asserted.
Britain has become the
mlghtiest military base I'm the
history OF the world. On the
crowded British Isles IL assem-
bled a gigantic United Nations
striking force Of men and equip
ment, ready TO strike at the
hour appointed for the invasion

Surprisingly enough, this amazing device is
almost as old as the airplane itself. Sperry in
vented and built workable Gyropilot before
the first World War.
Pioneering and development work continued
In 1888, Wiley Post flew around the world alone
with the aid of Sperry Gyropilot.
Soon after that, Sperry Gyropilots became
standard equipment on American transport
planes. When the world was again plunged into
war, the device was quickly adapted to give it
the precision needed for bombing work.
Today, the job of sending the Gyropilot off
to war is too big for any one company. So, in
addition to Sperry, A.C. Sparkplug Division of
General Motors is turning out large quantities,
and other types of Sperry Gyropilots are being
made by Electric Auto-Lite Co. and Eversharp,

merity to advance the candidacy OF

Democrat capable Of succeeding
Mr.. Roosevelt that fact has not
been emphasized by the political Or

Postwar Unity Stressed.
As for the Republicans, the
speeches being made by Willkie
Bricker and Dewey present not only
contrast, but also a reflection, OF
the varying viewpoints within the
party. Both Gov. Dewey and Gov
Brtcker speak in general terms
about the Importance of interna-
tional cooperation after the war in
the making Of lasting peace and
Of course, the views of Wendell Will
kie on the idea of "one world" as
the premise of future cooperation
policies are we'll known.
In due time the public will insist
on more definitions from all the
Republican candidates as to what
they really mean by international
cooperation" and the extent to
which the policies of the Roose-
velt-Hull administration in foreign
affairs are to be carried on. But in
domestic affairs the lines of varia-
tion are already apparent.
Gov. Bricker makes a strong ap-
peal for States rights and so does
Gov. Dewey, though the latter isn't
quite certain how far this should
60. He says:
II we'll realize that no detailed
and permanent division can be
made between the powers of Fed
eral and State government"
Dewey Comedies War Needs.
Gov. Dewey goes on then to con-
cede that in wartime Federal duties
require enlargement of Federal
power, but he adds that this is no
reason why 'all the basic respon-
sibilities placed upon the States
and every citizen by the Constitu-
ton must be abandoned"
Gov. Dewey puts up a straw man.
Nobody, not even President Roose-
velt, has suggested that "all" the
responsibilities Of the States be
abandoned.
Mr.. Willkie in his speeches recog-
nizes the Importance of the point
by stating that there Is a certain
amount Of Federal regulation Of re-
cent origin which must be retained
even IN peacetime. The commerce
clause Of the Constitution has been
interpreted by the Supreme Court
as giving the Congress extensive
powers in the regulation of COM
merce.
Gov. Dewey certainly is not pro-
posing that we go back to the
scheme of 48 separate economic
units and forego minimum wage
and hour regulation or that we try
to regulate national labor union
activities solely by State action. If
he believes the Supreme Court was
wrong in its Interpretation of the
commerce clause and that power
should be vested by constitutional
amendment in the Federal Govern
ment to regulate wages and hours,
then such . proposal would be log
1cal, though of doubtful value now.
But to assume that America must
turn the clock back now and re-
peal the laws relating to collective
bargaining and minimum wages
and maximum hours is to invite the

During the vital 20 seconds of the final bombing yun

20 SECONDS! This is the time it takes for the
bomber to make it's run and drop its bombs.
These are the moments that the long, hard
flight was made for.
20 SECONDS! To make these seconds count
the bomber crew was trained two years. For
these, they have fought through swarms of
yellow -nosed enemy fighters and lodged
through clouds of flaming fax.
And now unless the plane is held exactly on
the course that the bombardier directs the
bombs will miss, and all the nervous hours of
the flight will be wasted
During these 20 seconds that determine
whether the bombs hit or miss, the pilot of
this bomber isn't human. It's machine

fiers have nicknamed it Elmer. The British

The Sperry Gyropilot holds the bomber on its
bombing run with nerveless precision. Its error

American high-level precision bombing.
