In Europe a few ' years ago, thi3 courier got a strong impression that old Karl Baedeker was slyly giving the Germans the breaks, Explorer-Write- r in his guide Prepares Guides On Here are at least three refugees that were lucky enough to have a return ticket to England. After a stay of a year in the United States, these three British children (left to right) Keith Padin, Valerie Collins and Colin Rodin , are shown as they appeared in the Clipper plane in which they were flying back to England Pan-Americ- LAVAL: RUSSIA: And a Purge Still Fighting In Paris three men were guillotined as the first action in a purge y y of elements, following the shooting of Pierre Laval and Marcel Deat, French leaders advocating closer collaboration with Germany. Special courts convicted the assailants and it was declared that the attack on Laval was but part of a vast Communist conspiracy. anti-Vich- IRAN: An Occupation action h That the against Iran would be virtually an occupation rather than. a invasion was seen almost immediately after the troop movement started. Two things were early indications of this fact, first the sending by British transport planes of small detachments of troops far into the interior to protect British industrial outposts ; second, the fact that points Russo-Britis- full-fledg- which could have been bitterly defended, fell at once to the invaders. In fact, it was apparent that while like A' U i ; 1 ; r, the Iran government might have been under the Nazi thumb because of the presence in the country of hordes of fifth columnists, it was not a heavily implanted thumb, and within the government itself was apparently enough friendly strength to create an early offer of peace. That Russia and Britain would regard this peace offer as acceptable only if they were given control of key points, was obvious. The refusal of the Iranians to expel the Germans, as demanded by Britain it and Russia, was is true, but the decision to offer to expel them after the invasion was under way, and the Nazi bluff had been called, was entirely too pat to suit the invaders. A glance at the map was sufficient to show the tactical importance of Iran in any defense of India and the Middle East, and collaboration with Russia from the great centers of British supply would demand some point of land contact. Also the oil establishments on both sides of the Caspian sea demanded protection, and the position of Iran demanded control of that area in order to accomplish this. The Berlin reaction to the Iranian adventure of the Soviet and Britain was not expressed until the campaign was nearly over, and then it a classical case of was called brutal attack on a neutral state which had done everything to prevent war and respect the interests of third parties . ' r Bandar-Shahpu- I - Nazi-inspire- I; d, ; i ... Despite the loss of Dnepropetrovsk, with or without the huge power dam, and in spite of repeated German communiques which announced the continued successes of the Nazi arms at the north, and south, there was every evidence that the Soviet was continuing to fight, and to battle with an organized army of sorts. It was one thing for the German-Finnis- h army to report itself 35 miles from Leningrad and another thing to explain the lack of announcements of airplane damage to the city of any extent. The Germans also reported advances south of the city, yet these were averaging eight to nine miles a day, as against the 30 or 40 miles daily gained in the battles of France and Poland. The Russians reported a fierce battle for the mastery of the skies over Leningrad with the issue in doubt. The city, they said, was still unhit. Moscow also elicited the breathless praise of the British mission for its defense against German air raiders. There was every indication that the Russian strength and ability had been underestimated both by Hitler and the rest of the world. It was true that the third month of the war found the whole left bank of the Dnieper in German hands, but there was evidence that the Germans had planned to conquer what they sought of Russia in one month, and then to offer peace to Britain. The peace offer was still in the offing so was the German drive on Russia, as far as the objectives were concerned. Any serious capitulation on the part of the Soviet seemed as far distant as ever. The Russians had reported a daring adventure on the central front, the sending of a army in a southerly direction, to attempt to cut the German lines at Gomel, and to trap the entire advance force. No definite report was forthcoming as to the outcome of this effort, but British hints sent out over the wire, after bright hopes had been entertained for nine days, during which some 20 villages were retaken, finally seemed to show a growing belief that the effort had failed. well-equipp- ed JAPAN: Again Storm Center The official Japanese pronuncia-ment-o that it would consider the shipping of oil to Vladivostok by Britain, the United States or the Dutch East Indies an unfriendly act again placed Nippon in the center of a storm, especially as this was considered Japans official answer to the warnings of Churchill.

Stimson and General Marshall looked them over, and expressed pleasure at the job being done with the West coast troops. The general said: The army has shown tre mendous improvement since the maneuvers in April.. The object is to permit soldiers to make all the mistakes when they are not too costly and can be corrected. He indicated that the will not be caught napping army when the time comes to expand its numbers again. He said: Camp sites arq being selected and preliminary surveys made for 20 cantonments.

ICELAND: News at Last The ban of the government on news from Iceland was lifted, and returning correspondents began picturing to Americans what life is like on the newest frontier to the east. One of them described the country as a fishy smell surrounded by piles of cinders, and quoted the first soldiers he talked to as saying it aint much compared to the U.S.A. The town of Reykjavik, they reported, has two movies, but both have their ticket windows closed at 3 p. m. sold out. However, the Americans had seen all the pictures before, so they didnt mind much. The only refreshing beverage was beer 1 per cent. The stores open at 10 a. m. and close at 6 p. m. and at noon Saturdays. The girls, the American soldiers reported, were like the climate cold! Yet the economic conditions, the wealth of the people, and the character of the buildings were uniformly reported to be good. Most of the houses and buildings in Reykjavik were said to be of sturdy reinforced concrete and would have done credit to any modern American city. TAXES: Still in Making It was evident that the huge tax bill, which many thought was all set for passage after the house got through with it, paring the expected $3,350,000,000 down to $3,206,000,000, was still in the making. For the senate, more with Capitol Hill, was quick to recommend a widening of the income tax base, bringing about 7,000,000 more taxpayers into the fold, and later engaged itself with a move to raise corporate taxes as well. The income tax recommendations alone, if carried out and put through the house in conference later, would increase the total amount to be raised to $3,500,000,000, and many expected still more to be tacked on. What would be the reception of these ideas in the more recalcitrant house was difficult to foresee, but that there would be bound to be some increase over the amount set down by the lower chamber seemed fairly obvious. The main thing was that the tax bill, generally believed to be ready for passage, still faced rehashing before a final vote. com- oi Podium the compar ative interest and importance of European show places. His son carried on and in the long run of the decades the Germans contrived to reveal Europe to millions of visiting Americans particularly school teachers through their eyes. Hence one finds satisfaction in the news that the South American Baedeker is being worked up by a man of German birth who is also a degree American. He is Earl Parker Hanson, engineer, explorer, geographer and writer, preparing guides to all countries, under sponsorship of the Nelson Rockefeller committee. It is revealed that the guides will spot up their material against a background of cultural and historic discussions. That might be more effective than sending down hoofers and spoofers, as we have Two volumes, containing been. about 800,000 words, will have been prepared at the end of this year, under Mr. Hansons direction. Mr. Hanson was born in Berlin, of American parents, in 1899, came to this country in his early youth, attended the University of Wisconsin and did graduate work at the University of Chicago. He was the editor of technical publications, beginning his exploring career in Iceland, followed by wanderings in the Cawhere he benadian came a friend of Stefansson. In 1931J he made studies of terrestrial magnetism for the Carnegie institution in the basins of the Amazon and Orinoco and thereafter described the expedition in his notable book, Journey to Manaos. Mr. Hanson didnt need a guide book to tell him where Adolf Hitler was heading. Several years ago he was on record with a sharp warning that wed better do something about Iceland that Hitler was staking it out as a stepping stone in this (sm&xm AVIATION TRAINING Attend O. I. T.

KELLOGG'S PEP gives you PEP d Enters Fight for Fair Milk Price Youngs started farming 1710 and Mr. around those parts in Young, battling for the milk farmers at Albany, says he is more of a returned farmer than a retired industrialist. The former head of the General Electric company and the Radio Corporation of America, away from home for a spell and now back with money in bales and garlands of honorary degrees, is in dead earnest about farming and about a fair milk price for farmers. He has been in the campaign for many months now. Better luck to him than the returned American Presidents had. Starting with Jefferson, there were six of them who returned to their farms and they all finished in the red. Mr. Young has been the countrys champion dollar - a - year man, but he thinks thats too much to ask for the farmers. There was a drive to make him President in 1931, which he hastHe said he ily sidestepped. didnt think he had the right kind of training to sit in the White House. He was a farm boy, then a Boston lawyer, his earned run among his college degrees being from St. Lawrence university. He is vigorous and happy at 67, 6 feet 2, a bit heavier than when he was running corporations, and he still smokes a pipe with a stem. He retired as chairman of the General Electric company in 1939. Some historians think traditional American democracy was possibly strangled in the contention between the Hamiltonian industrialists and the Jeffersonian agrarians. Mr. Young is somewhere in between. His career has widened the area of common ground. 10-in- so often shy of vitamins Bi and Best part of It Is you get 'em In a cereal that tastes so consarnbe good you wonder how it can good for you.
