CONVERSATION AT MANILA

(ChriStan Science MOnltOr)
If it were certain that the collapse of
Japan itself would mean the end of
Japanese resistance everywhere, then all
Allied efforts could be focused on the
home islands. But there are such large
enemy forces so solidly established -
economically as we'll as militarily - in
such troublesome places that something
has to be done about them
There are the japanese armies around
Canton They are cut off from their
stronger comrades in North China. But
so far they have been able to prevent
Allied aid from reaching the main
Chinese armies by way of the China coast.
Then there are the japanese in Malaga
and the Dutch Indies. They make use of
the rich resources of these regions and
deny them to the Allies And what is of
more immediate concern, their control of
Singapore is like barred door between
the forces Of Britain and America. In
Burma a defeated but still dangerous
Japanese army hampers the southwark
and eastward advance of British troops.
1t is the removal of these outlying i'm
nediments to total victory that Admiral
Mountbatten and General Macarthur
have been planning at Manila while ships
AID planes pound away at Japan itself.

FORCING INCAPACiTATED
SENATORS TO RETIRE

A demand by Virginia congressman
that the Senate take steps to force the
resignation Of the venerable Senator Car
ter Glass because illness has kept him
from attending any session Of the upper
house for period of three years, revives
an issue generations old. 1t also intro
duces a tragic note in the dOingS of the
Senate as we'll as sounding tragic key
in the life Of one who has served long and
we'll.
Senator Glass is approaching his 88th
year lie has been in the Senate many
years. He has refused political prefer
ment outside the senate many times. He
could have been secretary of the treasury
mder Roosevelt. He rose to prominence
in fiscal matters when he helped legis-
late the present federal reserve banking
systm and authored and sponsored other
financial legislation, much in the way
of reform measures.
Speaking off-hand, even with his ill
ness causing much suffering, his roll call
or pairingS record does not appear SO

tors who manage to dodge one roll call
after nanother. and while in possession
Of robust health
That the veteran senator never Will be
back on the floor is generally agreed
That he docs not choose to retire does
not occasion criticism to any extent. And
it is agreed that if the senate should act
the only method would be to exercise its
right of expulsion Of any member. And
such action will not happen in the case
Of Senator Glass.
simultaneously there is a disposition
on the part of other senators to call upon
Senator Chandler of Kentucky to resign.
He has accepted the post of major league
baseball "czar" and announced few
months ago when he accepted that post
that he would stay on in the senate until
summer adjournment, or until the vote
was taken on the world peace pact. His
baseball salary is $4,000 year, or more
than four times that of senator. How
ever, he is not drawing that pay now.

Faster Mustang
Planes Ready

INGLEWOOD, Calf. July 27.
OP)-A faster and deadlier Psi
Mustang capable of doing over 400
miles an hour" is ready for action
in the Pacific, officials of the Army
Air Forces announced.
The new version o. the speedy
Mustang, labeled the P-5lH, has
been coming off North American
Aviation production lines for several
months and will be officially un-
yelled on Army Air Forces day, Au-
gust l. they said.
Exact performance figures are 2
military secret, but besides flying
more than $50 miles an hour, the
new plane has a combat range Of
over 1000 miles" Range was in

to the fighters fuel load. plant
officials stated.
Fittings to carry 10 zero rail
rockets under the wings have been
added. Installation Of six .50-caliber
wing machine guns has been i'm
proved and racks for bombs weigh
ing up to 1000 pounds or extra fuel
tanks are mounted under each wing.
The P-5lH, carrying a new four
bladed aero propeller, generates
over 1000 horsepower for efficient
operation up to $4,000 feet" It's rate
of climb is 26 per cent faster than
that for earlier models.

eral bench after his baseball job started.
But public opinion soon caused him to
yield and resign his bench post.
Further back in history is the case of
Missouri senator who was expelled dur
ing the Civil War. Non-attendance was
the cause.
The constitution makes no specific rule
for removal other than that each house
Of congress is sole judge "of elections,
returns and qualifications of its own
members" Expulsion for any cause re-
quires a two-thrds vote.
The congressman calling for the re-
tirement of Senator Glass may be sim
cere, but he will make little progress sim
ply because the Virginia senator's serv-
ices over long period Of years can not
be ignored, and because his colleagues,
many yet to win their spurs as seasoned
lawmakers. hold too great a respect for

HOPE FOR MEAT CONTROL?
Riverside Daily Press)

The meat problem in this country may
be described as not particularly serious,
but interesting Generally speaking,
there is as much meat available as we
really need The problem is to pass it
around fairly in the domestic market,
and also to see that enough is sent abroad
to relieve the legitimate needs OF our
foreign friends and Allies. This requires
fair and careful handling.
The immediate problem is to curb the
"black market which gives so many
people unfair privileges and at the same
time disturb legitimate distribution. To
this end the Patman bill, extending price
control for another year, sanctions
slaughter outside Of the normal federal
inspection plants provided it is certified
by the Department Of Agriculture and
done in a sanitary manner The regula-
tions for this purpose will soon be estab-
lished and meat will be expected to
"move in legitimate trade channels with
in legal price ceilings.
Such federal control is expected to
remedy the situation whereby much of
the meat produced could not be shipped
across the state lines With this adjust
ment, fairly operated everybody should
be satisfied and the industry as whole
should benefit.

BRITAIN CHANGES
LEADERSHIP

British voters, by an overwhelming
majority have repudiated the conserva
tive government of Churchill and placed
the Labor Party in complete control The
change over of seats in the House of Com
mons is so complete that there is no
chance Of coalition government.
The change was not unforeseen.
Months ago it freely was predicted that
the Churchill government could not win
an election either during the war or after
victory.
It is the first all-labor government for
Britain In the 20's the LabOrites joined
in a coalition and that combination
named Ramsey Macdonald prime minis
ter Much Of the Chamberlain and
Churchill regimes troubles stem back to
the Macdonald government.

Ice takes the helm With.a majority never

date without reservation. His is the re-
sponsibiity to take Britain into and
through, at least the early stages of the
postwar period. Besides the RESPONSE
bility he owes his own government, he
must assume the leadership of Britain
