SOLDIER OF DEMOCRACY
A BIOGRAPHY OF DWIGHT
EISENHOWER, by Kenneth S.
Davis doubleday, Doran;
$3.50.
How a normal boy, a scrapper
raised in Kansas, an average stu
dent with apparently no absorbing
goal, born of ancestors with paci-
fist relig Gus convictions, grew into
the general in command of the
armies which defeated Germany in
the east told in thi detailed BIZ
ography.
Born in Texa, where hi father
held poorly pa d job, Dwight was
taken back to Abilene, Kans., to
live on what was definitely the
wrong side of the tracks. Uncles,
aunts, grandparents were fairly
well to do, but Owight's own ia
Their never made much money. BY
contrast the six sons were marked
ly uccesful and two of them,
Dwight and Milton, achieved inter-
national regulations.
Dwight learned the need for
hard work, the value of money,
He won respect with his fists, and
on the football field. He went to
West Point somewhat b. chance,
his scholastic record was undistin-
guished and, because of bit OF
violently unjust disciplining, he
suffered knee injury barring
him from football.
In World War / he proved too
valuable in camps at home to be
sent abroad. Later he served in
the P hi / i ppines, Washington,
France and the Panama Canal
Zone where he was inspired by
then Brig. Gen. Fox Conner to
dedicate himself to his profession
with a seriousness new to him. He
rated first in his class in the Ar
my's toughest school, at Leaven-
worth, and was notably ready for
war when war came.
Ardent admirer of his subject,
Davis presents his case with elo-
quence. He correctly lays great
emphasis on Eisenhower's success
in creating unity in the interna-
tional command; makes laugh
able figure out of Giraud; aligns
himself with the many who have
criticized the State department S
treatment of de Gaulle.
An exhaustive study, this will re-
main an essential book in the his
tory of Americas role ir World
War II.

It is my good fortune to know

one of them called upon us for a
leisurely visit in our home, which
he has known since childhood In
fact, I started him upon his jour

Now he is one of the nations
most famous columnisa:s and radio
commentators, writing daily Tor
many millions. We hear him once
a week on the air and read him
daily in our newspaper.
But it was as a celebrated public
person that we welcomed him
though We did talk lot OF SHOP

as we talked over politics IN WASH
ington and shared our knowledge
of current affairs in Asia and Lu'
rope.
The basis of our visit, as ne
hungrily partook Of the bounteo4S
tea provided by Milady, was oil OH
times and O f familiar memories
He was not to US powerful celer
rity, but just an old friend felo&
ing in a home familiar TO HIN
since boyhood.
After all, persons are just per.
sons, whatever tags they may %eai
in public. And everybody IS nun

TOKYO, Dec. 10. -(P)-In a
great and tragic double cross, ia
pan disclosed to the German gov
eminent in July of 1941 the terms
Of its proposed plan for peace with
America even before it was for
warded to the United States.
Prince Fumimaro Konoye's
memoirs disclosed that then For
eign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka
ordered a subordinate to inform
Germany of the plan at a time
when the United States was seek
ing assurances of Japan's good
faith.
Konoye, three times Premier of
Japan who committed suicide
Sunday, related that negotiations
which had been going on since
April halted when Germany at
tackled Russia in July of 1941.
Matsuoka, whose arrest has
been ordered by General Mac
Arthur, prevented japanese &C
ceptance of an American peace
plan early in 1941 and stalled the
conversations for eight days while
he sought to learn Germany's at
titude on the negotiations.
Konoye said Japan was surpris-
ed by the German attack on Rus
STA and indicated strongly that
Japan, although a member of the
Tripartite (Axis) pact, was not ad-
vised in advance.
With the negotiations halted,
Konoye's memoirs continue, Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent him message
asking for definite word refuting
reports that Japan will start
military action against the Soviet. :"
u. S. Ambassador Grew deliver
ed the note direct to Konoye, the
former Premier wrote, and that
angered the by-passed foreign
Minister.
Konoye assured Mr.. Roosevelt
Japan would not move against
Russia (the cabinet already had
met and decided not to start &C
ton 'for the time being.'D But he
said he took the opportunity to
ask if the United States "really has
intentions of entering the European
war;
To this question, Konoye wrote,
the President replied on Aug. 16
that "the motivation of the right
If self defense against Germany
is natural"
The note continued-"sarcastic-
ally'' Konoye thought-that lat
this time the United States will re-
gard those who force the United
States to stand by idly as the CO.
horts of the armed aggressors.
Konoye said that earlier in July
Matsuoka went to Emperor Hiro-
hito and made this statement:
"Today, with the German-Sovlet
war having started, Japan should
cooperate with Germany and at
tack the Soviet Union. For this it
is best to hold back temporarily
from southern regions, but we will
have to fight soon.''
Konoye sought to clarity Japan's
position by writing a note to Ma
tsuoka. He told his Foreign Minis
ter that until the Russian problem
was settled, no show Of force should
he made in the south Pacific and
s.from this viewpoint it would be
good to suspend such action as &C.
cupying French 1ndo-C China"
> Konoye declared it was impera-
tive that japan obtain American
help in filling sore needs for var
ious materials, and that it was
important to begin immediate
peace negotiations with Chungking
through United States help.
Matsuoka replied he was in
fundamental agreement and said
that from today I will think of
the American problem seriously"
Konoye wrote that the United
States in returning revised ne
gotiation plan on June 81, 1941,

ENLIKE other mothers, Mrs. Fred
Martini was not kept awake at
night by the crying Of her
babies and She had four OF them un-
til recently. Nor did she have TO walk
the floor 10 ease their collie.
Stranger still, these exemplary in.

ards, born in New York's Bronx zoo

they are easier 10 handle than many
human babies and behave better
while they are in the nursing stage.
Rance, Limpopo, ZambeZi. and

Martini'S unique household, were kept

weeks later by couple of brand-new
lion cubs. Limpopo and Zambezi. Mrs.
Martini adopted them.
Her kitchen was turned into a
nursery, with three wallpaper-covered
boxes serving as basinettes.
No sooner had the three babies
grown up enough TO gambol around
the kitchen nursery on their own,
when a new member was added 10
the happy family. 1t was Bagheera,
the eight-inch long tiny black leopard.
The new arrival almost created
domestic problem.
Whenever Mrs. Martini picked up
Bagheera 10 give it the bottle, the two
lion cubs tore at her, trying TO pre-
vent her from coddling the newcomer
The cubs forgot that they had re-
ceived the same maternal care when
they were tiny tots.
Rance, the little tigress, was diff.
ferent Like most tiger cubs she was
gentle and sweet. She paid little at
tention when Bagheera was fed
Rance was a lady, while Limpopo
and Zambezi were tough and aggres-
sive. When let out of the kitchen into
the living room they tore up the fur
niture But Mrs. Martini didn't mind.
Kids will be kids, she says.
But, since they had become too big,
they had 10 go into the zoo. They
were no longer safe to play with, not
because they became mean, Mrs. Mar.
TIM insists, but because they don't
know their own strength. What they
intend 10 be a gentle and playful
stroke may turn into a mighty and
often dangerous wallop.

Liquor Holiday

The District of Columbia WCTU
has passed resolution to send
petitions to the President and to
members of Congress protesting the
July liquor holiday authorized by
the War Production Board.
The petition, which is signed by
Mrs. Caroline E. Coates, president
of the District chapter, states that
this holiday will require the waste
of some 100000 tons of grain and
100000 pounds of sugar-yielding
molasses, bringing the total waste
this year, when combined with the
holiday of last January, to 100000
tons of grain and 28,000,00 pounds
of sugar-producing molasses; and
whereas. the grains and raw ma
terials for sugar (molasses) so de-
stroyed would otherwise be available
for food of which there are critical
shortages and for livestock feed as
well as, in the case of molasses,
ingredients for the manufacture of
nonessential beverage alcohol as
being contrary to the national needs
and welfare, that we hereby re-
quest President Harry S. Truman
and Chairman j. A. Krug of the
WPB to rescind the July liquor
making holiday and refrain, in the
national interest, from permitting
similar holidays for the duration
of the national food and other
pertinent wartime emergencies"
The petition concludes by urging
that members. of Congress be re-
quested to support passage of bill
now pending, recommending that
the liquor industry be fully ex-
plored for the benefit of the Amer
lean people.
