statement. In order to avoid family embarrassment, Mrs. Glass and Rixey Smith withheld the statement.
 But last week, when Justice Byrnes let drop the fact that Sem ator Glass had telephoned con- graduating him on his speech and supporting the fourth term, Powell Glass finally carried out his threat. Declaring his fathers health such that the Senator himself could not talk to Byrnes, Powell virtually called Byrnes liar, and brought the Glass fam fly feud right out into the open. STILWELL'S TROUBLES
 IN INDIA
 Inside story of General Stil- wells problems in India has just come to light in 8 hitherto un- published report written by John P. Davies, State Department ad- wiser on General Stilwell's staff.
 In addition to his Chinese trou- bles, Stilwells biggest job was operating against the Japs in Burma. Here he largely used In- dian troops, which, according to the secret report made by AInbas- sador William Phillips to Roose- welt, would not resist the JapS and were largely mercenaries. Phil lips reported to FDR that the In- dian Army would not fight un- til India was given a promise of independence. (Phillips was sub sequently recalled from London after this leaked out.)
 MT. Davies report to StilWell is even more detailed and revealing. StillWell's troubles in China were chiefly responsible for his recall, but the situation in India was considered largely responsible for his failure to make progress in Burma.
 Davies did not paint very happy picture. His official re- port said: Unless steps are soon taken to provide for prompt and orderly re1inquishment of British rule in favor of an In- dian national government, we run the risk of facing in our time chaos in India, which may provide the fuel for another great war;"

 That is why we hope that Marshal Stalin will lose no time in rebuking the editors of IzveStia for their coni- ments on the presence of American troops in Iran. These aer the man- nificent soldiers of Major GeTl- eral Councils Persian Gulf Service Command-the men who drove the trucks and ran the trains day and night, month upon month, though appalling heat and dirt and disease to deliver to the Russians the sups plies they so desperately needed.

They will be going home, and glad- ly, when their job is done.

That is the reason that General Connolly's men worked as they did and accomplished such miracles; But Soviet Russia, to help herseM. needs desperately the aid which this country can give in years t0 come. That will be a different res lationship and one in which goods will and friendship will play largs CT part. @

of the Indian political set-up has only been hinted at. Davies, re- porting on this, said:
 "The underlying unrest. hatred of the British and sympathy for the enemy are productive of the most unsatisfactory situation from the military point of view. Bad as these conditions are, they are no worse than, if as bad as, those which confronted the Japanese Army in Manehuria when, using 'Manchukuo' as a base, it carried on operations against North China
 "India is a problem" Davies continued, (which no longer can be ignored by us and other members of the United Nations.
 "The British, of course, pro- test against any suggestion that they deliberately seek to use any one faction or community against the other. They have played the Indian colonial game so long that, as they acquired their Empire through fits of absent mindednesS, so now they practice a policy of divide and rule almost unc0nsciOusly."
 Davies also shed revealing light on the famous mission of Sir Stafford Cripps and Col. Louis Johnson, former U. s. Assistant Secretary of War, to try to work out a compromise in India. Davies substantiated previous reports that the mission was sabotaged by British Indian interests
 British officials maintained that the Cripps proposals demonstrated good ia ith." Davies informed General Stil- well. "But when it seemed an agreement was i'm m Tn ent, Cripps was Overruled and suc- cumbed to the imperialists who now control the British Govern ment."
 "SO India is our problem" Davies said, near the end of his long report. "What happens now and later in India affects us. It is therefore of very great concern to us whether Britain attempts to perpetuate its dOm- inatiOn over $50 million In- dians, who may be expected to draw the sympathy of the Soviet or China, or bOth."
 Those were some of the things Stilwell bucked up against.

The White House previously had said that Senator Glass had tele- phoned ByrneS to congratulate him on his speech and to say he, Glass, was supporting the fourth term.
 Unwittingly in the center of this family feud, is the second Mrs. Glass, a modest Virginia school teacher, formerly Mrs. Mary Scott Meade, who married the senator in 1940 when he was 82 years old and who is very much for Roose- welt,
 The Glass sons, on the other hand, are very anti-Roosevelt and also very anti the second mar riage of their father. And the cleavage has become deeper and deeper as Mrs. Glass has turned out more and more a New Dealer. Ill and old, the senator seldom goes out but frequently he is paired in the Senate in favor of Roosevelt legislation.
 Even when the Senate overrode FDR's tax veto and Dear Alben" Barkley made his bitter speech of denunciation, Senator Glass called the White House to say that the veto was right. The personal let ter which Roosevelt sent him in reply is matter of record.
 CLASS STATEMENT WITHHELD
 Meanwhile, the senator's sons, publishers of the prosperous Glass newspapers in Lynchburg, Va, have become more and more anti Roosevelt and not at all happy about Mrs. Glass. How much the future disposal of the Glass mil- lion-dollar estate is involved is not known, but it is shown that, just before the Virginia Demo- cratic Convention in Roanoke last summer, Powell Glass threatened to take drastic measures if his father came out for Roosevelt.
 At that time, it was reported
 that the Senator planned to an-
 nOunce for a fourth term, de-
 spite the fact that the cOnven-
 tiOn was called to boost Senator
 Harry Byrd. So Powell Glass
 in Lynchburg served warning on
 Rixey Smith, his fathers secre-
 etary in Washington, that if any pro- Roosevelt statement was
 made, he would declare the
 Senator too i'll to make such a

The Thanksgiving shortage of turkeys will set record, so it is said. New York City will be especially hit, because for the most part they depend on the western shipment, New Englanders can always depend oh the Vermont raised and New York State turkeys. The turkey produc- tion this year is the largest in poultry history, a large proportion for Army use. Before Christmas it is expected there will be more turkeys on the market.

 When General Pershing retired he was made a general of the ar- mics, with pay at SIPS month, or '$13,500 a year, plus the special al- lowances for rent and food that other generals get. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, who held in the British army a position correspond ing to Pershing'S, was made an earl after the war and voted a grant of 100000 pounds, or nearly half a million dollars.

 The Rev. Bernard Hubbard, s. J., we1-known as the Glacier Priset, is a self-appointed chamber of conl- merce for the icebox of the United ate-Alaska. For many years he has preached the benefits of that great country and now he believes the war has made people Alaska conscious and that the great sec- tion will show remarkable develop ment after the war. Many of the soldiers, stationed in the southern section of that country, may well stay there to seek their fortune or return there with their families. The Alcan highway, to, will bring more tourists and more settlers. He sees Alaska playing great role in the future of the United States.
