Wayne World War II Enters Into New Phase As Roosevelt -- Churchill Conferences Indicate Continued Soviet Resistance; Unrest Report in Occupied Nations (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they re those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) fReleased by Western Newspaper Union. I ' Back in Washington after his momentous sea conferences with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Roosevelt conferred imme-diately with Secretary of State Cordell Hull. The two are shown here in an auto leaving the railway station for the White House. Secretary Hull carried a number of important papers for the President and the Far East situation was said to be the vital topic of their first discussions. WORLD WAR II: Neiv Angle The many-facete- d chances of war, which had seen Hitler reaching an-other peak of successes, suddenly seemed to veer more to the British-America- n side following the dra-matic conclusion of the Roosevelt-Churchi-ll talks at sea. Not only did the eight-poi- pact between the two executives strike with a powerful sound across the front pages of the globe, but the promise of aid to Russia was re-portedly based on the assurance felt by Britain and the United States that the Soviet troops would be able to hold the Germans at bay through-out the winter. Indeed, Mr. Roosevelt on his re-turn to this country, made such a positive statement, declaring that "consumers' goods," such as food-stuffs, would be made available for Russia during the rest of the sum-mer; that it was assumed the Rus-sian winter would bring at least a partial halt to hostilities, and that more substantial aid could be made ready by Britain and the United States for the opening of the spring campaign. All in all, there was a quiet con-fidence as to the outcome of the war, and its continuance through a considerable period of time, that was in sharp contrast to the feelings of menace and of instability that had been marking the news at the outset of the President's dramatic "vacation trip" on the Potomac. Beside. this sort of feeling through-out Britain and the United States and particularly since the President said he did not believe this country was "any nearer in the war" than it was before the conference, the rumbling criticism of congressmen and the byplay of press criticism over mere matters of pictures and the identity of reporters at the scene seemed "small potatoes." Because Churchill presumably was being well informed by the British military mission in Moscow as to the real carrying on of the war in the East, and if the Presi-dent was so broadly confident of the continuance of the Soviet de-fense, it was reasoned that he must have good authority. PRESS: Its Reaction The press reaction to the Roosevelt-C-hurchill conference and the eight-poi- statement was far from unanimously favorable. The criticisms, however, ranged all the way from an echoing of the Berlin reaction, that it was a "poor plagiarism on Wilson's 14 points," down to a milder reproach that Roosevelt should have risked his life on the battlefield of the Atlantic. In the main, however, the leading independent papers of the country agreed with the philosophy and the idealism of the statement, though almost all of them agreed that it was a carefully timed and dramat-ically staged "counter peace offen-sive" against that expected to be launched by Hitler now that his campaign against Russia was about one-thir- d accomplished. There were many smaller side-lines of criticism, however. Some papers had headlines about "one-'wa- y censorship," apparently believ-ing that certain British newspapers and press associations had been permitted to be represented. Most of this died a quick death when it appeared that the London papers were much upset by the fact that the American press, not repre-sented by photographers, got the pictures first. Newsreel men expressed annoy-ance when these pictures showed a movie man in action, and the fol-lowing day, when they saw the movie reels, they primly announced that they were a rotten job, the work of a "rank amateur," appar-ently: "Off center, out of focus and under speed" and that 1,800 out of 2,000 feet had to be thrown away. So it seemed that America, after the few days of keen excitement and still keener criticism and some praise, was quietly going back to its job of making munitions and training soldiers, and that the best luck of all went to the people of Rockland, Maine, for they had a chance to turn out in force and cheer. And to questions of correspond-ents as to how Ensign Roosevelt and Captain Roosevelt had hap-pened to be in on the conference, the President just smiled and said it was "accidental." i NEW ROUTE: For Planes What was declared by the White House to be "an important step to speed delivery of planes to the Brit-ish forces in the Middle East" came when the President announced a new plan for ferrying aircraft to Africa. Under terms of the arrangement worked out with Pan American Air-ways, planes needed by the British will be flown from the U. S. to Ber-muda, thence to Natal, Brazil and across the Atlantic to Africa. Pan American will return the fliers to the United States. It was pointed out in the Presi-dent's statement that the route was so arranged that at no time would the U. S. fliers pass "through the zone of actual warfare." UNREST: Taking Substance The unrest stories from occupied portions of Europe, which had been largely couched in general terms, as though the writers of the reports, figuring that the Germans had re-moved large numbers of guards for the war with Russia, and had let their imaginations run riot, now be-gan to take some real substance. The stories came from Norway, from occupied France, and from within Germany itself, though the details in the latter had - to be gleaned from the highly propagan-dized Russian war communiques and were somewhat discontented therefore. The Norwegian story wa's that the Quisling government was tottering. These sources were Swedish news-paper stories, and the Swedes, though generally unfriendly to the Axis, were staggering along the fence of neutrality and so far had been able to keep their country The Swedish stories had consid-erable detail. They told of Quisling himself doubling and trebling his bodyguard, and being on the verge of a nervous breakdown; of one of the cabinet ministers seeking to take poison and of others who had been ordered to take "rests" of three months because of the utter failure of their several objectives. The French story also had sub-stance and came from Vichy itself which, throwing off censorship, announced that the Paris police were offering a million francs' reward for information lead-ing to the arrest of train wreckers who were menacing the food supply of the former capital of France. Those commenting on the dis-patch said it brought to mind the statement of Petain that he "felt an ill wind rising in many sections of France." The disorders, at first blamed in dispatches entirely on Communists and Jews, brought from General Stuelpnagel, com-mander of the German armed forces, that if the train wrecking continued, the entire public of France would be held responsible. This statement, added to the millio-n- franc reward story, gave the unrest almost the tone of a revolu-tion, and coming on the heels of the surrender to the Axis, made some think that per-haps loyal Frenchmen had been asked to surrender more than they would stand for. JAPAN: Official Washington was given a good idea of the narrow peace mar-gin maintained by present Japanes-e- American relations when a ship sent to Japan for the purpose of evacuating somewhere between 120 and 420 American nationals was re-fused permission to enter a port. The Japanese announced that they would let the ship in if its only purpose was to return the 20 U. S. officials involved, but that the private citizens and missionaries, would have to remain in Japan. The state department, not wish-ing to magnify the importance of the incident, said it was believed that the Nippon government had some thought of a sort of "ex-change" of the American nationals for Japanese here. But state department officials did not hide their chagrin over the situ-ation, and said that it made it im-possible for them to quiet the natu-ral alarm felt by relatives of Americans in Japan for their safety, but also for other Americans domi-ciled in other parts of the world under Japanese domination. U. S. Voters The census bureau estimate that there are 80,528,000 American i citizens eligible to vote. The total number of persons 21 years of age : or over, however, is 84,178,000, by 3,200,000 are aliens and 450,000 ' maintain their residence in the . voteless District of Columbia. Counted in the voting eligibility j figure, but who are non-vote- rs be. cause of illness and because they have forfeited their voting priv. : ilege are the 563,321 occupants ot our mental institutions, and the 161,000 members of America'i prison population. Noted Astronomer The late Dr. Annie Jump Can-non, during her 44 years' work in the Harvard college observatory, discovered a double star, 300 vari-able stars and five of the 90 novae that have been observed in our galaxy in the past few hundred years, reports Collier's. Furthermore, she classified, ac-cording to their spectra, almost 400,000 stellar bodies, or more than any other person in history.

Wasn't Asking for Trouble That Early in the Morning Two travelers had just met. One was doing most of the talking. "Yes," he said, "I arrived home one morning after midnight and, as I opened the door, I saw a stranger kissing my wife. I closed the door softly and hur-ried downstairs. At 1 a. m. I came back. I opened the door softly and there was the strang-er, still kissing my wife. So I went downstairs again. At 1:15 " "Just a minute," interrupted the other man. "Why did you keep galloping downstairs? Why didn't you walk right into the room?" "What?" cried the talkative man. "And have my wife catch me coming home at that hour?" From the Heart Prayer is not perfect without the presence of the heart. As One Heart Men are tattooed with their spe-cial beliefs like so many South Sea Islanders; but a real human heart with divine love in it beats with the same glow under all the patterrj of all earth's thousand tribes.-Oliv- er Wendell Holmes.
