THE FOURTH TERM

Once precedent is broken nobody gets very ex-
cited over the subsequent breaking Of one OF ITS
nieces So perhaps the least remarkable thing ooout
the beonnino of President Roosevets fourth term
is the fourth tern, itself But this does nor mean tno
his becominoy brief and simple inauguration IS NOT
an important milestone
For one thnq it serves as good place to pause
for look at what has happened since Mr. Koose-
velt's third reelection. Morentous events have TO-
ken place in those ten weeks - the German o1Ten-
sve BeIouno, the monpower and production crisis
at home and the outspoken differences Of Allied pol
icy.
These events have served to quiet the high emo
tons of the November election and to BRING me
country back to sober and rather dsheorten'ng reo
ity Their very seriousness has resolved many OF our
domestic differences. They have brought some hot
headed proposals Of solution, OF course, Out "e''
oenerol effect has been to unity.
A promise of unity has been seen in Washing
ton as we'll as elsewhere in the country. 1t was cyl
dent in the Presidents conciliotory message to CON-
oress and in his new appointments to the Stote De-
pertinent 1t was further evident in Senator Vonden-
beros speech on foreign policy, which gave hope or
oreoter cooperation between Congress and the White
House in the future.
Mr.. RooseveIt's Stote Department selections dis
tressed some Of the New Deal press and public, but
thew seem to have found favor With bportison mo-
iority of Americans 1t was apparent thot domestic
politics and policies not upPernost in the Pres
ident,s mind when he made them. And in making
them it was obvious that he had eosed toward the
middle from his seIf-styed course "a little lett OF
center"
This move Of the Presidents was matched by the
Influential Republican leoder. Senotor Vondenber9
whose foreign policy program swung him very close
to Mr.. Roosevets
The promise Of these events together with the
oood news from the Philippines and the eastern and
western European fronts permitted Mr.. Roosevelts
third term TO end at hopeful moment. That hope
did not, however, translate itself into lost summers
-notiono mood Of fotuous optimism
Mr.. Roosevelt occupies the spotlight OF pubic
attention today not because he is our first fourth
term President The public attention is directed be-
yond the Inauguration to Mr.. Roosevelt's imminent
and crucial meeting with Mr. Churchill and Mr.. Sto-
lin.
He carries to this meeting more direct man.
dote than any he has taken to the previous CONFER
ences Of national leaders, 1t sofe to say thot
it was Mr.. RooseveIts experience and wisdom in tor
mer meetings which played large port in his re-
election But it is also clear thot while he takes with
him again the American peoples confidence and
trust he olso eorries their demand for action and
solution, and candid accounting Of decisions

EXPANDED ECONOMICS
BUREAU

Wallace's experience as bust.
ness economist is given a build
up by pointing to his efforts in
expanding the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics, generally
recognized by private business
as being one of the strongest
statistical and forecasting serv-
ices in government. Its appropri-
atoms and transfers from other
government agencies for the cur
rent fiscal year approximate four
and half million dollars. This
should give some idea of the
scope of BAE operations, al
though it does not compare with
the six million dollars spent on
Bureau of Labor Statistics or the
nearly 20 million that goes to
Bureau of the Census and Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in Department of
Commerce. 1t is over these last
two business analysis agencies
that Wallace would preside II
ratified for appointment as Sec
rotary of Commerce. Depart
ment of Commerce this year is
101 million dollar business with
$4,000 employees. Department Of
Agriculture is a billion dollar
business with 10000 employees.
Which is therefore the bigger
business man - Wallace or
Jones?

EXPECT RIOTS

go. 800 -
The difference between Stain
grad and the new situation is
that Stalingrad occurred hum
dreds of miles away. Now the
Russians are uncomfortably near
and defeat Is no longer an i'm
personal general disaster, but
full of personal implication.
Breslau is panicky. The city
is crowded, particularly because
victims of other bombed cities
have found refuge there, since
Breslau was hardly ever raided.
Now everybody wants to make a
getaway and since there are no
railroads, the roads are crowded
with old men, women and chill
dren.
1t is generally believed in
Breslau that the Russians will be
there soon. Whether the morale
Of Germany will recover or rally
as it did after Stalingrad, or
break down completely, depends
largely on how long the Russian
advance succeeds. Goebbels
needs a breathing spell and at
least a few tactical victories or
a heroic defense in the East.
Chances are that he has been
told that German counter
offensive or another fortified
line soon will come into play.
Otherwise, he could not have
gambled by letting the Germans
know the horrible facts Of the
present situation.
Even il the Russians halt at
the frontiers of Germany, morale
will also have suffered greatly
because of disappointment over
the fading out of the Won Rund-
stedt offensive on the west.
Therefore, l repeat what I said
at the height of the Won Rund-
stedt offensive-that by the end
Of January the first riots must
be expected in Germany.

LONDON-The German High
Command was caught COM
pletely by surprise when the
Russians surged into Poland, a
German parsonage who cannot
be mentioned yet, told friends
upon his arrival in a neutral
country.
The High Command was in the
midst of regrouping German
forces, he says. They believed
that the Moscow communique
announcing the new offensive
was bluff and that the Russians
would continue their attacks in
Hungary.
Therefore, the High Command
sent there and to the Balkans
important units until now sit
uated in Krakow, south of War
saw, while newly formed Home
Guard units were transferred to
the Russian front. If this is SO,
the High Command gambled and
lost, but in fairness it must be
added that the Nazis were forced
to gamble by superior overall
strategy.
Stain had left to the Nazi
High Command the choice OF
making one of two equally bad
moves. No third move was pos
sible. Stain has brought into
play for the first time in this
war strategically his vast super
iority of manpower and arma-
ments, which earlier had been
brought into play by him and
the Allies purely tactically.
TWO-FRONT NIGHTMARE
If the Nazis had regrouped
their troops in view OF the Polish
attack, Stain might have struck
his most decisive blow in Hun
gary and Austria. If this view is
adopted, then it follows logically
that the High Command, while
surprised, must have known this
surprise was in the realm OF
possibilities.
Therefore, no matter how
spectacular and costly the Ger
man retreat is, it must be con-
sidered as a planned and pre-
pared retreat, though by no
means a strategic" retreat. The
Germans might save most OF the
$50 divisions between the Battle
and Budapest, leaving small
suicide squads, perhaps the
aforementioned Home Guards.
behind, regrouping the Army for
final defense of the Reich.
Regrouping would take time,
which will &c given the Ger
mans probably when the Rus
slams have to pause for supplies.
If, however, the High Command
did not prepare for this event
uality, which is unlikely, then
this is the beginning of the end
Extremely important is the
question of what the new Rus
sian advance means for German
morale. 1t may be the smashing
blow. With the East and West
fronts active at the same time,
optimistic, wishfUl-thinking Ger
mans must recognize the exist
ence of a two-front war. A two
front war constitutes the night
mare of World War l for most
Germans.

URGE LEGISLATION TO OUTLAW
jim CROW HOUSING PLAN

CHICAGO, Sept. 18 (ANP)-
Both the city and state were urged
here to abolish Jim crow housing
through legislation.
The legislative program against
racial discrimination in the field of
housing was recommended to the
city and state governments by the
housing commission of the Chicago
Conference on Home Front unity
along with other recommendations.
The commission, one of six es-
tablished last June to draw up
program of civic unity for the Chi
cago Conference on Home Front
unity, urged the city "to establish
and implement the principle that
residential segregation, racial, re-
igious, or national, is incompatible
with urban development"
The state was urged to ban re-
strictive covenants by which own
ers agree not to sell or rent to Ne
groes; amend present laws govern
ing developed housing areas to pre-
vent discrimination in occupancy re-
quirements and pass laws assuring
adequate housing for families dis
placed from their dwellings by
slum clearance projects.
In addition to the recommends
tions to make the mayors commit
tee permanent agency of the city
government and to obtain, through
the mayors committee, synchron-
lied program for handling racial
tensions in Negro-white border
areas. The civic unity program. is
sponsored by the mayors commit
