Planes Aid British Libyan Drive; Nazis Admit Russia Recaptures Rostov (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these colnmns, they are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) ; i i - J i . j S, t . f - y Here is a view of the U. S. S. Ellyson, new destroyer for the U. S. navy, during commissioning ceremonies at the New York navy yard. Officers and crew are facing aft as the colors are raised. The Ellyson is a sister ship of the U. S. S. Kearny, which proved her mettle by standing up and making port under her own power after taking what a German torpedo had to offer. JAPAN: Demands Following exploratory talks be-tween special Japanese envoy u and Secretary Hull which had LIBYA: British Ring After winning battle after battle by swift encirclements based on the use of fast tanks and screaming more or less been kept secret, the latter suddenly issued a five-poi-ultimatum to Japan which showed plainly that the United States, feared no crisis with Nippon, and that her attitude toward Japan's plans in the Pacific was unchanged. The United States boldly asserted she was insisting on Japan's with-drawal from the Axis; that Japan must get out of China; that she must withdraw from Indo-Chin- that she must be willing to keep the open door in the Pacific. This was followed closely by a welter of rumors that Japan was sending 30,000 men in 70 transports to Indo-Chin- a that the U. S. was going to patrol the supply lines to China along the Burma road with airplanes. On top of all this came Premier Hideki Tojo's blunt statement that in the light of developments Japan Considered Britain and the United States "hostile nations" accusing the Western powers of attempting to exploit East Asia, and saying: "We must purge this sort of prac-tice with vengeance." Then came word from Singapore that all army leaves had been can-celled and that the entire British force there had been placed "on the alert." There was little doubt but that the sword of war was dangling by a thread in the Pacific, a fact which President Roosevelt had recognized in taking a brief vacation to Warm Springs, Ga. As he left he remarked that his date of return "depended on Japan." Tojo continued his tirade against Britain and America by taking note of the rumor that this country was planning a Burma Road patrol. He said that Japan "could not ignore" such a move, and would consider it a "deliberately hostile action." Real spot that all eyes were turned upon was the border of Thai-land, against which many believed that Japan would launch an invasion attempt as an "answer" to Hull's latest message. Such a move, Washington observ-- ers felt, would instantly touch off war in the Pacific. RUSSIA: Gateway Gain As the Russians admittedly had their backs to the wall in Moscow, they had claimed an outstanding victory in the central southern sec-tor where they asserted their armies had reoccupied Rostov-on-Do- an important gateway to the Caucasian oil fields previously lost to the Nazis. For several days the Russians had been talking about a counter-attack somewhat to the west of Ros-tov, an attack which war driving southward with some success. At that time Pravda and the army paper Red Star had hinted that this counter-atta-ck was seriously affect-ing General Von Kleist's supply lines. Suddenly the Russian armies fell with full force on the Von Kleist army corps, and Kuibyshev report-ed the entire corps was annihilated and that the Russians had the Nazi forces in the Rostov district rush-ing off westward in "disorderly re-treat." The Germans admitted the evacu- - ation, and ascribed it to an effort to gain time for retaliation against the attacks of the civilian population on the German rear "in defiance of in-ternational law." Stripped of its Nazi propaganda angles, this seemed at least a par-tial admission on the part of the German High Command that the Russian attacks on the German communication lines, which had fea-tured Red dispatches for a week, had played a big part in the Ger-man disaster at Rostov. Whether the attacks had been made by uniformed Russians or civilian guerrillas seemed beside the point, but the Reds had described certain of their forces as guer-rillas. It was reported that more than 5,000 German soldiers were killed, and enormous quantities of booty taken. It was proclaimed as the greatest single victory over the Nazi armies since the start of the war. It also was reported that the Rus-sians were carrying out successful counter blows against the Nazis fur-ther to the south. s, tne JNazi iorces" in North Africa had evidently received a dose of their own medicine, and while dealing out deadly punish-ment to the British, had been unable to break the iron ring which had trapped an estimated half of the German armies. The German High Command had blithely announced early in the tie that a "counter-offensive- " had retaken Sidi Omar and was mov-ing across the Egyptian frontier, de-spite the fact, obvious from the maps that in this maneuver the Ger-man tanks were going the "wrong way up a one-wa- y street" as one British commentator put it. The chief Italian mechanized force, the Ariete division finally managed to join forces with the chief remnants of General Rom-mel's tank outfits, and were attempt-ing to break out near Rezegh. But Rezegh was at the extreme west end of the British trap, not the extreme east end, as was Sidi Omar. It was obvious that it Vas at Rezegh that the main battle was joined, the battle that would spell success or failure for the British effort. Despite the fact that Germany was sending airplanes from Europe to back up her tank forces in Af-rica, the British claimed they were still able to hold supremacy in the air, being equipped with hundreds of American planes in addition to their own. The British also claimed they were steadily widening their wall within which the Nazis were trapped, and that each day the battle contin-ued found them better able to con-tinue it. ARMS: For Merchantmen As America rushed to arm its merchantmen in accordance with the permissions under the neutrality act as revised, the controversy raged hotly as to what good the weapons would do the vessels. Naval authorities pointed out that they would do little1 good if the ves-sel encountered a surface raider. But against submarines it was a powerful weapon if the ship were ablje to fire a lethal weapon at its attacker. Naval men gave figures from the last war, showing that of 302 un-armed merchant ships attacked, only 67 escaped; but of 310 defen-sively armed merchant vessels at-tacked, 263 got away. The secret was this, they said: Submarines attacking a ship while submerged, must get close enough to get a good view of the target through the periscope. Through a choppy sea this is well-nig- impossible be-cause the vantage point is so close to the surface. But if a submarine may attack a ship from the surface, then its chance of missing its mark is much less. Hence the presence of guns, fore and aft, on the armed merchantman practically forces the submarine to remain submerged for its own pro-tection. Guns and depth charges on mer-chantmen may spell safety for a large percentage, navy men believe. VICHY : Surrendered? London had become perturbed over reports it had obtained from a "reliable foreign source" that Vichy already had yielded to German de-mands for air and naval control in French North Africa. While the reports had been cur-rent that Petain was ducking a final showdown with Hitler while watch-ing anxiously the British offensive in North Africa, it was reported that the Nazis had taken over four French commercial airlines. The four air bases quoted were Rabat, French Morocco; Meknes, southwest of Fez; Sfax and Cabes, Mediterranean airports in Tunisia. That there were plenty of Germans in Tripolitania was known in Lon-don. This new report had stated that there had been a heavy infi-ltration of Germans over the border of Tripolitania and Tunisia. This source indicated that it was possible that if the British were suc-cessful in Libya and moved on against Tripoli, the German-Italia- n forces might fall back on this heavi-ly fortified frontier.

II Jl FiRST-AID- T fo the AILING HOUSE . By ROGER B. WHITMAN (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Cleaning Paint Brushes. a really good paint job, the FOR should be of top quality, with long and flexible bristles. Quality paint brushes cost money, however, and I see many home own-ers making use of cheaper brushes with which first class paint work cannot be done. It is well worth while to start with good quality paint brushes, for with care and attention they will last almost in-definitely. When a paint job is in-terrupted, the brush should not be left standing in the can, even for a few hours; the paint should be wiped off, the brush rinsed with turpentine, and then wrapped in waxed paper. The paint can, incidentally, should be tightly closed to prevent the for-mation of a skin. At the end of the job the brush should be well wiped out, washed with turpentine, and protected against dust. One good plan is to suspend it in a can con-taining turpentine, deep enough to cover the bristles, the bristle tips being out of contact with the bottom of the can. Paint will drain out, anrt the hviicVi will hp lpft in Derfect condition. The can should be covered of course, to prevent the evaporation of the turpentine, a wad of waxed paper will serve. At the end of two or three days, all the paint will have drained out, and the brush can be wrapped and laid away. A brush should never be al-lowed to stand on its bristles, for these would be bent out of shape. New House Problem. One trouble that is likely to come when a house is new is the forming of a crack between the edge of a built-i- n bathtub and the wall behind it. This is due to the shrinking of the timbers on which the bathtub is supported. With the splashing of water through the crack, the ceiling below may become spotted. The problem is to fill the crack with something that will make a water-proof joint. One method is to pack the crack deeply with caulking com-pound, which resembles putty, but never becomes quite hard; it re-mains sufficiently soft to keep the crack filled, should settlement con-tinue. The surface of the filling should be shaped by running the finger along it, and stickiness can be taken out by dusting with talcum powder. Another method is to cover the crack witn a strip of material somewhat resembling rubber, that is made for the purpose and is on sale by dealers in linoleum. That is put on with a special waterproof cement. The effect is permanent. Taking Out a Wall. Question: We wish to remove a partition from between a large and a small room. We are told that it must be replaced by a support for overhead beams. Because of the different sizes of the two rooms, the girder will not be in the middle, which we think would look bad. What do you suggest? Answer: Have an examination made by a competent carpenter or builder to find out whether the ends of the floor beams above are sup-ported by the present wall. If they are, the girder must be in a position to support them, regardless of ap-pearances. You might be able to get a steel girder that would not show as much as a wood girder having the same strength. Rough Paint. Question: In an old farmhouse the woodwork has had layer after layer of paint, so that the surface is ugly and very uneven. Can the depres-sions be filled with a filler, or should the paint be removed? Answer: I think that your best move will be to smooth the surface with sandpaper, which for con-venience, can be wrapped around a block of wood. Old paint in many coats is difficult to remove. Jl it must be taken off, have it done by burning, but be sure that this job is given to somebody who is really expert in it. The job would be done with a blowtorch, and in inexperi-enced hands there is danger of fire. Spiders. Question: My basement windows are always full of spider webs, in spite of continued cleaning. What .should I do to get rid of them? Answer: As soon as the webs ap- pear, pull them down with a vacuum cleaner. This will remove many of the eggs. Other eggs are develop-ing in cracks and crannies around the windows. Spray with any insect liquid, being sure that it penetrates these places of concealment. Oil and Asphalt Roofing. Question: The mineral surfaced asphalt shingles on my roof are very dry. Would it be correct to soften it with crankcase oil? Answer: It would not;' for the oil would dissolve the asphalt, and all the surfacing would come off The makers of the shingles should be be able to supply you with a liquid asphalt coating, intended for the purpose. Grease-Tra- Question: How can I mak;e grease-tra- p for my cesspool' Answer: It is hardly possible to make one, but a grease-tra- p can be bought at no great expense.
