Show THE PROGRESSIVE OPINION ; YZ JSa 'They Got Me Covered' Is Funniest Book of Year A NEW champion has been crowned ... in the entertainment world. He is Bob Hope. Not satisfied with being rated tops on the radio, Number One in screen box office receipts, he is author of one of the nation's best sellers, which just about nails down this triple crown for Bob. "They Got Me Covered," Hope's autobiography, has been claimed by critics and readers alike as one of the year's funniest books. It is a hilarious story, in narrative form, of Bob Hope's life, gener-ously illustrated with photographs, in addition to having cartoons de-picting scenes from his life. The book is now available at drug and department stores throughout America at 10 cents per copy with the purchase of a Pepsodent product. This low price is possible because the sale of the book has been sponsored by the Pepsodent Company. Adv.

Wayne Stalin Sees Nazi Collapse Within Year As Hitler Challenges British Invasion; Japanese Get Warning From Churchill Against Involvement in War With U. S. (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. ' '"' ' ' ; ' j 4; ' 7 . - 4 & ; Vt 7 v '' .V'--' m I Mis (T '": H ? vl ' i ; ;:J After a lengthy debate in the senate, that body passed the bill authoriz-ing the arming of U. S. merchant vessels and following the 7 vote, the photographer got this picture. It shows left to right Sen. Millard Tydings, against the bill; Allen W. Barkley for the bill; Tom Connally, for the bill and Bennett Champ Clark who was against the bill. HITLER: Talks Boldly Adolf Hitler exuding confidence with the passing of another of the anniversaries of the "beer cellar putsch," and having been congratu-lated on his excellent health and appearance, had made another ad-dress to his backers in which he defied the world. The "Fuehrer" declared that he had created a united European front against communism, that the east-ern front's successes were assured, and he dared England to attempt an invasion from the west. "I have made such preparations in the west," he declared, "that the British can step up at any time. "If the English choose to under-take an offensive, whether it is in Norway, on our German coast or in Holland, Belgium or France, we can only say "step up, you will leave faster than vou came." CHURCHILL: And Roosevelt As Hitler and Stalin were cele-brating anniversaries, and each pre-dicting the future with confidence, each from his own standpoint, Churchill hailed that "glorious war-rior Stalin," told Britons that the entry of the U. S. naval vessels into the war left Britain no longer alone, and predicted that England had been rendered, by this aid, "once more masters of our own fate." In another statement he warned that should the U. S. be forced into war with Japan, Britain would join in the fight against Nippon "within the hour." Roosevelt, beset by strikes and threats of labor troubles, also meet-ing a determined challenge of his policy in the senate debate on the neutrality act revision, issued an ap-peal to labor to work for the na- - Two years ago a bomb had wrecked the hall minutes after Hit-ler walked out of it. The assembled crowd did not know until the last minute this time whether he would appear or not. He scorned direct reference to the might the United States was hurl-ing into the picture, saying his or-ders had increased many fold the armament potential of Germany since the start of the war. The speech ignored the unrest in Europe, the halting of the blitzkrieg in front of Moscow and Leningrad, the announced intention of the Finns to quit the war on Russia soon, the passage of the neutrality acl revi-sion bill by the senate, the recent utterances of Roosevelt and of Churchill. There was no reference to the enormous German losses as outlined by Josef Stalin, nor to the growingly heavy attacks on the Reich by the Royal Air force of Britain. He boldly declared his armies could defend Germany and all of occupied Europe, "despite American threats and plans for gigantic arma-ment." He was cheered to the echo. STALIN: tional defense, and to place labor quarrels to one side. There had been a momentary lull in s, though the dead in the Reuben James disaster had risen to 101. This loss stood as a silent speech-make- r in the senate halls during the neutrality act debate, and was being used to show the people the all-o- necessity of naval aid to America in "delivering the goods" where needed. NEUTRALITY: New Phase "The relatively close senate action on the neutrality act revision did not change the situation as regarded the outcome, which meant the death of the final two parts of the meas-ure placed in it at the beginning of the war at the insistence of the iso-lationists. Their final fortresses had now fall-en, and with the navy's range ex-tended to every port in the world, and with American merchant ves-sels ready to move, armed for their own protection, into those same ports, the de facto complete entry of this country into the naval battle was considered a certainty. Representative Bloom indicated that the full authority of the bill might not be used at once, might never be used. He said: "The situation is tense throughout the world. This is true both on the Atlantic and the Pacific. It is bet-ter to have the power which the repeal gives the President and not to need it, than to need it and not to have it." This seemed to be the attitude of many members of congress who were not anxious to see American ships in danger-lade- n and belliger-ent ports, but who deeply felt the need of an all-o- American effort and the means to make it so if nec-essary. Celebrates The anniversary of the October revolution was celebrated in Mos-cow with Stalin himself reviewing troops in front of the grim walls of the Kremlin, with hordes of Russian fighting planes wheeling overhead and less th::n :nHcs away the Red armies bctUing to hold back the Nazi hordes. The Germans had boasted that the Russians would have been beat-en to their knees long before the an-nual great Soviet holiday. Instead Stalin was in his country's capital city, reviewing the troops in the customary fashion, despite the war. He declared that the Germans had lost 4,500,000 men in killed, wounded and captured since the start of the invasion of Russia, admitted that milch territory had been lost while "Russia stood alone" against the in-vader, but promised his people that Germany was beaten and within a year would collapse under the weight of "its crimes." There was a bitter note in Stalin's talk as to the lack of full British co-operation, though he did give thanks for the aid that had been received. Yet there was a great deal of calm confidence, and he expressed his na-tion's willingness to fight on, come what may, until the collapse of Ger-many, regarded by him as inevita-ble, would take place. PICTURE: Red Front The picture of the Red front against the Nazis had be-gun to clarify itself somewhat, the general view being that the Russian armies were somewhat in jeopardy on the southern sector, though rap-idly assuming the offensive in the north and central portions. Attacks by the Red armies were cited at Kalinin, 95 miles northwest of Moscow; at Volokolamsk, 65 miles outside the city; at Mozhaisk, and at Maloyaroslavets. When it was considered that the Germans a few weeks before had claimed to be in Moscow's "indus-trial suburbs," and far beyond the points named, it began to be evi-dent that the Moscow attack, at least halted, might well be consid-ered in reverse. The Russians admitted reverses in the Crimea, on the other hand declared they could hold onto Sevas-topol and Kerch indefinitely, and pointed to their long stand at Odes-sa, and to the successful evacuation there. PACIFIC: Threat Closer The Clipper flight of special envoy Kurusu to the United States appar-ently to make a final effort to "clarify" the Japanese position on the Pacific brought only gloomy predictions in Washington as to the mission's probable outcome. Japanese position in the Orient and the. British-America- stand seemed poles apart, and little like-lihood of betterment in the situation. In fact, there had been a report "on excellent" authority that plans were well advanced for joint British and American action in the East. There was sudden talk of "ap-peasement" when it was announced that the United States would with-draw its marines from the Orient, yet this had been promptly scotched by Secretary Hull, who stated that this was a policy and had nothing whatever to do with Japanese-America- n relations. Both Britain and the United States had placed Japan on notice that neither nation would stand for any further expansion of the Jap-anese domain, and this apparently went for Siberia as well as for Indo-Chin- The now historic "Seven De-mands" by Japan on the United States seemed just as inutterably inacceptable to this country as they had, not only in toto but in each of the seven items. And Washington observers could not see Japan was willing to back down from several of these, unless Nippon was willing to admit defeat, withdraw .from China, and resign herself to becoming a secondary power, out of the Axis, out of the Pacific's driver's seat fortunate to hang onto Manchukuo.
