Faster than a Zero
lNeW York Timesl

(NeW York Times)
 To the other advantages which the Navy fighter planes in the Pacific have held over the Mitsubishi O0's the Japanese Zero fighter plane, has been added that of speed, correspondent Robert Trunbull reports from carrier of Admiral Haseys Third Fleet off the Philippines Three Navy pilots intercepted flight of zeros coming in for attack. the story said When the Japanese pilots saw them they jetscned the light bombs they carrying and headed for home Time was when they would have arrived safely But this time the Navy pilots took after them, caught them despite "a long lead" and shot them down.
 The story did not say so but it appears probable the planes the Navy pilots flying were the new sreamlned version of the Grumman Helcat tech nically identified the F6F-5 which announced last month. It was described being twenty knots faster than its predecessor, which, in turn, had sup erseded the Wildcat the little stub-winged fighter that did such valiant service in the early months Of the fighting in the Coral Sea- at Midway and in and around the Soomons
 A lot mas been written about the Zero and lot of that ias overpraise It is probably the most maneuverable fighter plane in the world For long time it was much faster than anything the United States Britain had in the Pacific. But it has always been Fancy Dan" in which pilot protecton-that is arnor and sef-seang gasoline tanks and other construction features that made the Wildcat and now the Hellcat one of the toughest hardest-to- knock down fgher planes in the Word-waS sacrificed for maneuverability and speed. Now that the Zero has
 lost the edge of speed it should be even easier shoot down.
 Since the beginning of the in the Pacific there IS hardly single American weapon that has not been vastly improved The Japanese have shown little such ] ability. The workers the home front who make possible this superiority of weapons also their country we'll

CAPITOL CHAFF

Despite the terrific manpower shortage, the U. s. Employment Service is certifying many job ap- plicants to the Census Bureau for work instead of to war plants One reason why Nelson Rocke- feller may be having so little trouble getting appropriations is the fact that Budget Director Harold Smiths wife is on the payroll Of Rcckefc.lers office of Coordinator of Inter American Affairs :. First things Ed Stettinius did after getting his new post was to call his wife. then tell his staff what happened and then order Secretary Hull's office completely repainted and redecorated Stettinius also ordered the removal of Hull's as- pidistra plants which lent an early Victorian atmosphere to the ex- secretary's inner sanctum The group which knows most about the inner workings of the State De- partment personnel are nurses who do first aid in the dingy State De- pagt snent health room. They handle everything from the secretary's sore throats to messengers stubbed toes Principal keepsake Cordell Hull took from the department was his swivel chair which traditionally is given each outgoing secretary.

WEDNESDAY, JANUAUY
 Until late today kindly stars rule but in the evening disturbing in fluences are indicated Something of extraordinary concern is pre- saged
 HEART AND HOME: General impulse toward constructive plan ming and consequent activity is forecast for the month. Severe weather may retard midwinter work | of various sorts but production for war needs will be maintained at high level. This is a lucky wedding 1 date.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Credit terms will be discussed ill financial centers as the imperative need of 1 international borrowing on tre- mendous scale is recognized. There is sign forbidding extensive loans of money and promising much from Lend-Eease methods adjusted to postwar conditions.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Unity of purpose will be constantly urged in coming months while Congress is ] in session and supreme problems confront the nation Partisan prin- ciples may be strongly emphasized as campaign wounds heal slowly, | but the outlook for wise legislation lis good.
 I INTERNATIONAL A AIR S: South America will draw much at tention before the end of the winter, it is forecast. Pressure on government leaders in Argentina will be strong as foreign relations become of great concern to the people. Brazil comes under aspects that seem to promise financial re- forms which encourage enterprise.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which to guard against unfavor- able changes and to avoid cratic decisions.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of artistic tempera- ment and should be carefully trained. Extraordinary talents be- long to many Capricorn folk.

in the middle of the Japanese fleet I'll be fighting for all good Americans and all good people of the earth These telephone girl strikers and all past, present and future strik- CTS will be safe in America. They will be doing their part to kill me and my shipmates and women in the services. That is gratitude and cooperation with Hitler and the Japanese En- peror Murder, pure and simple, premedtated and deliberate Go ahead girls and other strikers, have your high adventure" and get your few cents an hour more and the few minutes a day shorter work. Fighting men and women will pay for it with our blood and lives
 May the good Lord pardon me for saying I wish all of you strikers had been overseas and felt the bombs hitting you and seen whole cities destroyed and thousands of innocent people killed and maimed and starved. You are my enemy. I can have no other feeling for you I hate you as I believe my friends at sea and in the front lines do also. When they come back there's going to be a reckoning day.
 A friend of mine, Spanish American War veteran stood in front of a picket line of the telephone girls yesterday and put his thumb and forefinger over his nose in the that stinks" gesture The woman picket in charge shrieked at him I'll have you know my hus- band is overseas" Her husband is overseas fighting for her, his would-be murderess.

haps a Republican President. Party machinery, they admit, did not function well throughout the campaign; they were constantly dissatisfied with ,the operation oi the National Committee; anc meetings of the Senate and House campaign groups were the scene of constant grabbing about pool publicity But now that the cleo tion is over, the bitterness is dis appearing, with veteran solons willing to charge it off to inexperi- ence.
 Hannegan will work now to de velop a network of local Democratic groups which will see to it that registration for voting is built u[ in 1946 and that the vote aims for another Democratic House There are even hopes that the Senate majority will be increased with tough fights looming for Re publicans Butler of Nebraska, John- son of California, Shipstead ot Minnesota, Vandenberg of Michi- gan, Willis of Indiana, and Pro- gressive Bob La Toilette of Wiscon- sin.
 Unless the Democratic National Committee can do this job itself it will have to rely again upon the non-party groups which won the election for it last month. Mean- while, the southern wing of the party and the middle -of-the-road CTS are preparing to fight against dependence upon non-party ele- ments. They fear that the party will become too definitely the lib- eral party.
 That's why. in many towns and cities-and even in rural districts where the Democratic Party usual ly shows it's head only every two years, it will have to continue ac- tive. A giant financing drive is getting under way now to back this activity-with Liberals approached on the basis of keeping the Re- publicans out of control in 1946 and old-line Democrats approached on the basis of keeping Sidney Hillman out of the drivers seat.

STRIKES IN WARTIME

letter written by a naval officer printed in D C., Post at the time of the telephc orkersi strike, apparently reflects the opinion any men overseas It follows:
 I'm a Navy man back in the United States, back from many months on the seas, back from two nvasions. over there I fought our enemy. l saw Americans live and die. I saw ships blown up. airplanes shot down in flames tanks burning soldiers falling, land and sea mines exploding and killing Amer jeans, your sons and husbands and sweet hearts and the other Americans on my ship were in constant danger from shells from shore batteries, torpedoes from submarines and torpedo boats, bombs from airplanes, mines and other forms of death
 You cannot picture that side of the war war has not touched ninety-nine per cent of you You can't realize how much being back in America is like being in Heaven. Now when an airplane flies overhead I look up and smile. knowing that the plane is friendly and has big beautiful stars on it. Overseas an airplane within miles means Man the guns and stand by to fire" To you over here that plane is just another plane-to me it is a friend and protection
 I thought that being in my country meant that I was among friends. I was mistaken though On the streets of Washingt-n, D. C., the Capital of my country, saw enemies and traitors and murderers Strong language? Yes, but the truth. The telephone girls were striking. They had embarked on high ad- venture.' I do not know why they are striking. don't want to know. All I know is that they were killing friends overseas who are fighting and dying for these girls living in safety and luxury far from the battle line.

U. S. BOSS OF NEAR EAST?

Gen Benjamin Franklin Giles, the U. s. Army's gift to the Near East, has issued an order banning State Department, UNRRA, TEA, and other U s. civilian officials from coming in through the front door of his Cairo headquarters. All U. s. ciyilian officials were ordered to use the back entrance.
 When State Department officials souawked the order was finally rescinded.
 Gen. Giles also banned civilians as patients in the Army Hospital for while, forced UNRRA to set up it's own clinic in Cairo to take care of American Government enl- ployees who became ill Most dis tressing single morale-breaker inn posed on civilians by Giles was an order preventing them from using the Army Postal Service to send and receive mail. This meant Am

ericans in Cairo had to wait for the painfully slow regular mail ser vice to hear from home. After enough protests came into Wash ington, civilian agencies put pres sure on the Army, finally got the order revoked
 NOTE-Gen. Giles is the man who ordered U s. newsmen not to cable home anything critical of the British, especially during the early stages of the Greek British crisis. That was one reason why the American public got news of the Greek turmoil with such a thud Actually it had been brewing for some time.
