WASHINGTON, Sept. 6—Since
returning from abroad I have been
hearing about how southern demo-
cratic senators were going to cause
trouble in setting up the peace after
the war.
These southern democrats were
supposed to have been laying down
the law to Roosevelt and Hull. They
were going to stand for none of
this global boondoggling and fanci-
ful superstates after the war and
they were so afraid of communism
that no one dared talk about re-
maining in the same world with
Russia lest Rep. Martin Dies hound
him out of public life on some trick
Red scare.
Nobody ever expected a few in-
different demagogues like. Reynolds
of North Carolina and ODaniel of
in these times might be seized on
by the senators.
- He and Roosevelt
I T have feared a
Clapper
campaign like the
senate waged suc-
cessfully against
Wilson. The policy
of the administra-
tion has been to
keep everything
in a whisper lest
some of the sena-
tors overhear and
ruin everything.

that can be put off, if there isn t some self-denial we
that would buy at least one extra bond, a
that WO 0 - need to reach our quota
was running to cover. One maga-
zine came out with what looked
like a feed-box piece about how
Roosevelt wasn’t going to propose
anything that would frighten the
most nervous islationist. Cordell
Hull has been sitting on the lid,
fearful that the least whisper of
guidance to the American public
- such nervous cau-
tion is justified?
CITES TOM CONNALLY
A typical southern Democratic
senator is Long Tom Connally of
Texas. He clings to the black bow
tie which was regulation in the
political generation of Pitchfork
Ben Tillman. He talks and thinks
like a stage southern politician.
What Long Tom thinks, most of
the other southern Democrats must
be thinking because he is so much
one of them. The only thing about
him that is not typically southern
Democrat is that he is chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations com-
mittee which gives him no small
voice in what is to be done after
the war.
Well, unless Long Tom Connally
has had a brain storm and made %
speech that says something he does-
n’t mean to say, there is much
more hope of a good decision out
of the senate than some people had
supposed and little justification for
the fears around the state depart-
ment and the white house.
Senator Connally set it all down
for a radio talk to his Texas con-
stituents a few days ago. He went
out far for an interna tonal agency
of the United Nations backed by
force to settle territorial disputes,
and to prevent aggression.
Power to enforce decisions is vital
to any such organization. Senator
Connally said. He faced the point
that membership in such an organi-
zation would impair our sovereignty.
The judgment of this states’ rights
southern Democrat on that point
is worth the attention of all of us.
WHAT CONNALLY SAYS
Connally says: "Every treaty to
which we are a party somewhat
restricts our freedom of action.
Sovereignty, however, is the power
to do that which we may wish. If
peace is worth fighting for—if it
is worth the pouring out of stupen-
dous treasure in time of war, it
ought to be worth, in time of peace,
the exercise of our sovereign power
to prevent international cutlaws
and bandits from plunging the
world into a sea of blood . • • an
international body to enforce world
peace would, in large measure,
eradicate these centers of infection."
Connally said Russia oust be a
party. And China. Also Britain and
other members of the United Na-
tions must have a place at the
council table.”
That’s what southern Democrat
Connally believes. That makes it
safe enough for anybody. Cordell
Hull has the same ideas. Why can’t
he and Roosevelt give us the lead-
ership to make that a truly popular
conviction in this country?
They tiptoe about as if they were
carrying dynamite. I believe—and
Connally’s speech strengthens by
judgment about it—that the coun •
try is begging for the world.
Yet all we get are hysterics from
Roosevelt and Hull about what some
gossip columnist says. These times
are too big for that.

because when he meets you at the
door he shoves a guest column in
your hand and says, "Relax."
He has perhaps the most acid
wit of any man in the country. He
came up the hard way, and has
the background of hard knocks to
go with his material success. He
is a tough little Yankee, and you
couldn’t fool him with a gold brick,
even if the brick were made of solid
gold.
I know that he has this country
at heart. I know it from hours of
beating around this country with
him in company with his dearest

This country could do a lot worse
than listen to the words of Clar-

After all, he has made words pay,

never have.

The rise of airpower simplifies the problem main

the principle of peace-by force could pool their air

down any aggressor before he got started. Such a plai
could have stopped the Jap in Manchuria, where this
world war was hatched; it could have kept Mussolini
out of Ethiopia, and it could have halted Hitler in
the Rhineland and in Poland. Periodic small-scale
wars might be expected, but a world organized to put
them down and willing to do so could halt them be-
fore they spread into a worldwide conflagration.
The alternative to a peace plan based on the use
of force is a repetition of this world war in 20 or,25
years, with the strong probability that next time the
U S. will be ganged and crushed by its enemies.

A significant point in the Ger-
A mans’ army organization was
the practice of discarding regi-
mental and company formations
after one of their divisions had 3
been defeated and reassembling
the unit in groups of 60 to 65
men and throwing them back
into battle, the Russian officer
said.
Such a step was taken with the n
German 39th Infantry division •
which was cut down during the
battle of Kharkov from a normal
strength of 10,000 or 11,000 men
to 600—but still continued to op-

The Soldier Vote
The biggest absentee ballot in all American history
will be cast in the general election next year, thanks
to a congressional act authorizing all men and women
in the armed services to cast their ballots for federal
candidates. Some states have extended the same privi-
lege with respect to state officeseekers, and others
probably will do so between now and the election.
We might as well start out by saying that if any;
body deserves a vote in this country it is the men and
women who are fighting this war, regardless of where
they may be at the moment of balloting.
The mechanics of taking the ballot to the fighting
forces will stagger the imagination. The service man
will use a postcard furnished him by his branch of
the service, to be mailed to the secretary of his state,
• asking for a ballot. The ballot will then be sent to the
service man (or woman) by the secretary of state, to
be marked by the recipient and returned.
But where is the soldier, sailor or marine to get his
information regarding the rival candidates? How is
he to know what the candidate stands or has stood for?
Obviously, the candidate can’t send literature to the
soldier. The only feasible means of informing the serv-
ice voter would be a digest of candidates’ qualifications
sent out by the war or navy department. These would
necessarily be limited as to length, probably to 100
words or less. But how could the service man know
how the candidate for congress, seeking re-election,
voted on certain issues vital to prosecution of the war
and to the welfare of service men? If the war or navy
department undertook to list his adverse votes, the
candidate would raise the roof and accuse the depart-
ments of prejudice. Then who is to inform the service
voter on such matters? The answer seems to be, no-
body—unless he is fortunate enough to possess the
information already.
In the case of those seeking re-election, it would be
possible for a non-partisan, disinterested commission
to set forth his votes on various vital issues, for the
information of the service men; but what about the
new candidate who has no record of any sort?
Also—and here’s an interesting angle—what about
state primary elections to choose party candidates for
senate and house? Unless the service men are permit-
ted to vote in the primaries, they will have to accept
whatever candidates the voters at home may chooser
and like it.

Reporter-News Washington
Correspondent
Just at the time when everyone
is all hot and bothered about post-
war planning, the President’s Na-
tional Resources Planning Board
was quietly killed by congressional
order on Sept. 1, thereby providing
further proof, if any is needed, of
the funny way they do things in
government.
NRPB was killed off at age 10
years. Congress provided $79,000
to bury the remains in the Federal
Archives building where few people
will probably ever see them again.
Most of the $79,000 will be used
to pay off accumulated leaves of
the staff. There survives only a
skeleton staff and the director,
Charles W. Eliot, a grandson of
Harvard’s great president, who now
becomes a kind of undertaker or
executor who has been given till
Jan. 1 to settle the estate.
The visible remains of NRPB
consist of some 100 reports on land
and water resources, public works,
housing, income and consumption,
transportation, technology, research,
state - planning, regional plann-
ing. post - war planning. The
accumulation has been kiddingly
referred to as "Eliot’s new five-foot
shelf." Some of, the reports are
pretty big and pretty tough going,
unless you happen to be particularly
interested and used to hard read-
ing.
Maybe that was the trouble. Too
many people and all the congress-
men didn’t have time to find out
what was in ’em, so they stopped
this outpouring of words at the
source. The frame of mind is per-
haps best I expressed by an irate
citizen in Salt Lake City who, dur-
ing a meeting to set up a regional
post-war plan for Utah, rose from
his seat to protest that, "We’re sick
and tired of planning—all we want
to know is what we’re going to
do.”
IN THE CORNER
Who gets the credit for killing
the NRPB? A couple of Republican
congressmen named John Taber of
Auburn, N. Y., and Richard B.
Wigglesworth of Milton, Mass., who
led the fight in the House Commit-
tee on Appropriations. The Senate
was a little more considerate, want-
ing to give the board another $200,-
000 to string along on, but the
House opinion prevailed.
What scared some people off of
NRPB was the fear that it stood
for regimentation, governmental
controls, planned economy and

GETTING IMPATIENT
such things which were loosly in-
terpreted as state socialism. NRPB
spokesmen deny that the board ever
had any such intent. What it tried
to do was collect the best informa-
tion it could get on oil reserves, or
forests, or social security, or what
to do with and for discharged
soldiers, passing this information
on the President, Congress or other
appropriate private or state and
local government agencies whose
direct responsibility it was to deal
with the problems presented.
The board was always rather
mousey about pushing its own re-
ports. In 1934, for instance, it made
an elborate study of strategic ma-
terials, even going so far as to
point out the shortages which would
develop in case of war. That was
five years before the war broke
out. Yet no one paid any attention
to it, and as a result, the country
got caught short.
POST-WAR PLANNING
In 1939 the board wanted to re-
organize to help the war effort,
but in conferences with the Presi-
dent, he gave to the board the job
of thinking about post-war prob-
lems, not through public discussion
but through research into how the
transitions could be made from war
to peacetime economy, profiting by
the mistakes of reconversion that
had been made in 1918 and 1919,
after the last war. In 1942 the
board put out its first reports on
post-war planning, aimed at:
1. The maintenance of full em-
ployment. 2. Security for all work-
ers. 3. The continued up-building
of America.
Then in March, 1943, the Presi-
dent sent to Congress the NRPB
report on social security planning
and on post-war economic adjust-
ments, with the request that Con-
gress “give these matters full con-
sideration during this session." Con-
gress did nothing of the sort. In-
stead, it killed NRPB, with the re-
suit that today your government
is doing nothing at all about post-
war planning, save for the efforts
of the private industry-financed
Committee for Economic Develop-
ment which is sponsored by the De-
partment of Commerce.

three zones were divided into a
frontal region about three and a
half miles deep, a secondary zone
three and a half to five miles
deep and a rear area extending
two and a half to three miles.
THE frontal regional is subdi-
1 vided into three stretches,
each a little over a mile deep,
the first containing infantry bat-
talions and mortar batteries, the
second regimental reserves, light
artillery and heavy mortars, and
the third divisional reserves and
heavy artillery.
The intermediary lines are us-
ed for delaying action, Vorobiev
said, while the Germans retreat
to the secondary and rear zones.
Fire power of all weapons in
the various zones, he explained,
was carefully arranged to cover
all approaches to prepared posi-
tions, which included barbed
wire, trenches and minefields.
"The German defenses were
prepared over a period of four
to five months and present a
very serious obstacle,” Vorobiev
ON the other hand, he said, the
U Russian offensive succeeded
because the Red army was able
to use reserves on a wide front S
to break through with the coop-
eration of all arms.
Encircling maneuvers were de-
scribed as the basis of the Rus-
sian attacks, but Vorobiev said
the Red army used a new tech- 3
nique of sending individual guns e
out in great numbers to fire
point blank from open positions
against their targets.
The correspondents were shown
a typical German strong point .
in a forest at Pomerky two and 3 |
a half miles north of Kharkov,
where the Nazis had a zigzag
trench line six feet deep and two
feet wide with timber supported
dugouts, barbed wire and mines.
It was taken by a flank attack 2
from the east.
We also saw at Alexeievka a
height dominating the country-
side northwest of Kharkov where
the Germans converted a can-
ning factory on a hilltop into a .
fortress surrounded by trenches 8
and battery positions, with mines
and barbed wire in the valley
below. The position was stormed
by Red army infantry after ar-
tillery had blasted the heights.
Find HEALTH Aid
By FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Writer
DITTSBURGH, Sept. 6—) -
I Synthesis of a new female sex
hormone, described as a potential
health aid for women enrolled in
the WACs, WAVES and other en-
listment services, as well as those
engaged in war industry—was an-
nounced today to the American
Chemical society.
Dr. William M. Malisoff, pres-
ident of Unified Laboratories,
Inc., New York, who produced the
new compound, said there was a
further possibility it might be
useful in aiding the healing of
wounds.
He told chemists attending the
opening of the society’s 106th
meeting that the new hormone
is called "thloestrone." It was
prepared by combining sulfur with
“estrone,” the natural female
hormone which is found in the
sex glands.
A HORMONE is a kind of chem-
A ical messenger which stimu-
lates some tissue or organ into
greater activity or helps to reg-
ulate its activity.
Natural female sex hormone can
be extracted from waste products
of the human system during preg-
nancy, and doctors have found
that preparations of it can be
administered with beneficial re-
suits to women suffering from sex
defects or ailments.
Dr. Malisoff said the new syn-
thetic compound showed all the
physiological activity of the na-
tural hormone plus special powers
due to the sulfur which is itself
an important element physiolog-
ically. The sulfur, he explained.
tended to help the chemicals in
the natural hormone to combine @ a
with body tissue and maintain the 5
balance that is needed for the
best results.
Sometimes, he said, that bal-
ance can easily be disturbed.

moved, he said, the administra-
tion of extremely minute doses of
thioestrone had stimulated mark-
ed sexual activity.
“The specific significance of the W
new hormone is not yet clearly
defined," he said, "merely be-
cause it is so new.
“There is no doubt, however,
that it will be of some importance
in maintaining the health level 6
both of enlisted women and wom-
en workers in war plants. It will
save women hours."
"Furthermore," he added,
“thioestrone seems to promote tis-
sue growth, a fact which gives 0
encouragement to speculation that •
the healing of wounds might be
furthered. This line of investiga-
tion is being followed."
Other chemists at the meeting,
commenting on the report, declar- .
ed that conceivably the hormone w
might be beneficial to women ap-
proaching a physiological change
in life, and to those who suffer
difficulties during times of per-
iodic female illness.
