London, June 20 (Sunday) (AP) The Russians announced early today that their long-range bombers attacked German airdromes Friday night, concentrating particularly on the enemy airbase northwest of Bryansk, behind the Orel front where both sides have massed large quantities of reserves and supplies. The Red airmen started swiftly spreading fires among ammunition and fuel dumps and plane repair buildings, Moscow reported in a broadcast recorded here by the Soviet monitor. The announce ment said all of the attacking planes returned safely. The Soviet midnight communique disclosed that French fighter pilots now are in action with the Red Air Force.

They form a group known as the "Normandy Squadron" op erating in one sector of the Russian front. "During the past few days six pilots of this squadron in air com bat brought down three German Focke-Wulf-190 planes," said the midnight bulletin, recorded by the Soviet monitor. The midday bulletin said Soviet troops had attacked near Lenin grad, killing 50 Germans, while Russian aerial blows against Ger man bases destroyed "a large num ber of German planes" on the ground, and downed 11 others in 3combt The Russian midnight commu nique listed only local skirmishes and minor artillery duels on vari ous sectors of the long front yesterday. On the central front west of Moscow, Soviet troops destroyed a company of German infantry, the bulletin said, and in the Ukraine, Red Army gunners destroyed two German dugouts, a tank and an artillery battery north of Chugucv. In another area they dispersed and partly annihilated a company of infantry.

Russian troops on the Volkhov front were said to have dispersed a battalion of enemy infantry in addition to knocking out 18 blockhouses, 2 dugouts and an artillery battery. Antiaircraft fire brought down two enemy planes in that sector and snipers killed more than 80 Germans. FRANK MUENICH. Downtown Cafe Owner Was Father Of Missing Sailor.

Swan stiffen internal injuries. He was taken to St. Mary Hospital. Tollce had no explanation, or lb Explosion, of aspiring politicians. Coming to former Governor Myers Y.

Cooper, he could tell how it may not be popular at the moment to insist that the state do its duty by its wards by making adequate provision for their care and treatment, but it is something to leave as a record. Then there is George White, fondly called "Uncle George," who probably would be a curiosity among Governors if they are in other states as they are in Ohio, where everybody howls about extravagance of the incumbent and then proceeds to spend more money than his predecessor ever thought of disbursing. White was "the exception. For a time he did reduce a wee bit and "Uncle George" always had a charming way of telling it. He was accustomed to say, too, wanted to spend but during the panic the funds were not there and we could not borrow, so we just had to pull in our horns.

I was not economical because I wished to be but because I had to be. If I had had it, I would have been just like the rest." That brings one to saying that they have found a new way to spend money in Ohio. It's a trifling item now in relation to the total, but it'll grow and grow, They have equipped the Lieutenant Governor with a separate place on the budget and a lot of "keyed," lettered, and numbered items. Two years hence they will think of more letters and figures, hence more appropriations A time there was when nobody around the Assembly had his private office but more and more Committee Chairmen now have them. Even the minority leaders, so-called, who have no followers to speak of and who could not lead them if they had, have private offices and soon will be blossoming out with budgets.

The visiting Governors might find it profitable to compare notes on the foolish extravagances of governments which are rolling up more and more to eat the substance of the people. ONE OF THE EXECUTIVES who is to be watched with interest while he is here is that man from Massachusetts, Hon. Leverett Sal-tonstall. Folks who have known him tell this old watchman of the tower that the name is no deceiver, that there is a saltiness about him, a good old New England Yankee disposition, albeit with the saving grace of genial humor. The writer was told by a gentleman who heard him before the convention of Insurance Superintendents and Commissioners at Boston make a speech, the gist of which the same gentleman had urged the writer frequently to attempt to put into print.

The essence of it is that business shares the blame for bureaucracy because business organizations urged it. Governor Saltonstall noted, In speaking to the commissioners and superintendents and men 'way up in the insurance world, that men in business complain of the growth of bureaucracy and government in business. Well, he said, much of the legislation was enacted at the instance of men in trade, in commerce, in finance, and in manufacturing, and, he added, that demands had been made upon government to "solve some of their problems." He said pointedly that this makes bureaucracy. The Bay State Executive offered the suggestion that people face at the end of the war new and strange problems tremendous in magnitude. He said in his opinion business should attempt to solve these problems as otherwise government would come forward with some answers.

He forecast the government might be compelled to do so and probably the people affected by the manner in which governments undertook to get the answers would neither be liked nor praised by business, AMONG DEMOCRATS there Is of interest in a phase of the auxiliary part of the Governors' convention. Joseph T. Ferguson, Auditor of State, has called for a session of the Democrats among them, 24 in number. Ferguson wished earnestly last year to be a Democratic Governor and while he may not attempt to get into the charmed circle next year, because it is time to run again for the job he now holds, the idea of being an executive has not been banished permanently. Hence, there will be in Ferguson's mind, in all human probability, a curiosity as to what Democratic Governors in the mass look like and how they act, Nor could it be regarded as impossible that the visiting executives may have a measure of curiosity, too, as to what sort of man in Ohio could aspire to be one of the brethren.

TRAVELERS who have been in the West report a feeling far different from that which prevails in conservative quarters in these parts. For instance, they say that what passes Republicanism In the Far West is a very remote thing from ths brand to be found here. For example, Governor Warren of California signed a bill for a maximum of J50 old-age pension payments each month, the recipl-tnts to be allowed to keep unconditionally residences up to $3,000 in value and perconal property of an earning kind up to $1,000. After 10 years of struggle on the point the property qualification is not much changed in the Ohio law and it means for the aged recipient to give it When an Ohioan on a visit asked a banker about the new California law, the man of finance said, "Well, it's only a fourth of what Town-send asked, so it isn't so bad." To which the Ohioan responded, "There isn't anything more to say." ONE OF THE CRUSADES of the recent working session of the Ohio General Assembly that petered out was the attempt to change the mar rlage law. It began ir.

the usual fashion. The first step was to find the horrible example. In the midst of war it was represented to the people that they were about to be ruined because a couple of officials in a remote region of the North' west have worked up what is for them a good business. The menace of the marrying squires or Pro' bate Judges was protrayed as be Ing but one degree less than the frightful prospect of i world ruled by the Axis. But the legislators refused to take the bait and the crusade ended rather dismally.

If anybody had taken the trouhlc to read a few standard works on the subject of -laws he might have found that tho To General William S. Ky A Successor To Major General Ronesteel, Army Reveals. London, June 19 (INS) Headquarters of the European theater of operations of the United States Army announced today that Major General William S. Key had formal ly assumed command of American troops in Iceland Thursday. He succeeded Major General Charles H.

Bonesteel. General Key, who is 53 years old, formerly was Provost Marshal General of the European theater, a post he had held since October. For a short time after the death of Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews in a plane crash in Iceland, Key served as acting commander of American forces in the European theater. Andrews was replaced by Lieutenant General Jacob L.Devers and Key was then transferred to his new post in Iceland.

Key's career began in the Georgia National Guard in 1907. He served 17 months overseas with the American Expeditionary Force in 1917 and 1918. He was warden of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary from 1924 to 1927 and served as Works Progress Administrator for Oklahoma from 1935 to 1940. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Governor of Oklahoma in 1938. MASONS PLAY AT CONEY.

Five Primary Loyalties Of Members Eulogized By Speaker. "Many people misunderstood the five primary loyalties of a Mason," Dr. Harry Granison Hill of New Thought Temple told Masons and their families at the All-Masonic Day outing at Coney Island yesterday. Speaking in Moonlite Gardens, Dr. Hill said: "The Mason is obliged to be loyal to himself, to his family, to his fellows, his country, and his God.

He must have a high opinion of his individual worth as a personality. His family is his assumed responsibility, and a man who is fulfilling his obligations as a husband and father is fulfilling hi3 social responsibility. "He must be loyal to his fellows so that he may discharge the duties of brotherhood, and this is not so much a responsibility as a privilege. He recognizes that his brother is his keeper. He must be loyal to his country, but we have gone far beyond the principles of isolationism and individualism.

We know now that a man is a better citizen at home if he is a citizen of the world. "Finally, he must be loyal to God, so that at last we arrive at the first principle, for in His supreme hierachy he automatically decides what is, loyalty to self, to family, to country, to one's fellows, and the world." SCRAP TOTAL is M.0.1S Pounds In Public Scliool Treasure Hunt Year's Drive Yields Vital Metal.

Former Executive Would Have Gloried In Doings, Mengert Points Out. BY HERBERT R. MENGERT. Columbus Bureau, 207 Spahr Building. IrKI'lAL COOr.KSTO.XPKXrH TO THE X.NUF1 IKK.

COLUMBUS, OHIO How Honorable Martin Davey, former Governor of Ohio, would have gloried in this coming conference of Governors of the nation, which is slated to begin here Monday. The news of the plans must make the bantamweight executive of old chafe i retirement and inactivity. And what he could do to set it off right with that dramatic sense of his. The news is that some of the coming with their Adjutants General and some are to have military staffs. For those who have states that cannot afford to send military contingents a thoughtful government in Ohio is to provide at least one military aide to do the escorting.

Retired officers are to have their day and they can march as proudly as any. The lists have been raked over to make them go 'round. There even is to be a convention Of Adjutants General at the same time that the main show is in progress in the Ohio State Office Building. With such an opportunity, the City of Columbus could be made into a bedlam of continuous noise if only Martin L. were on the job.

He would have escorts with screeching sirens and every time an executive moved about the town these would be a flutter. With Governor Bricker at the helm the most anybody can hope for is a modest show. The visiting brethren cannot bring their own stuff in these days of rationing, that is certain. If the actualities, however, are up to the advance notices it is possible that simplicity will have been removed into oblivion by several degrees, although plain ways, close to the common people, might seem to be the best cue in the days of centralizing power and more and more pomp and circumstance and greater and greater aloofness from the ways of old. What happens during a time when a new code is sweeping aside an old one was illustrated in Columbus the other day over an incident to which no notice was given anywhere.

For the weekend there was scheduled an all Ohio Council of Defense session with delegates present from every corner of the state. Miss Margaret Baker, Springfield, was General Chairman in charge of plans. The first thing she found was that Columbus hotels were reluctant to provide rooms for her defensers over Saturday night. The plea of the hotel men was that the rooms had to be kept free for the visiting Governors. Miss Baker pointed out to them that the convention of executives did not convene until Monday morning and it would be only a few strays who would De checking in before Sunday afternoon.

It was in vain. She finally hud to go to the Columbus Convention Bureau to carry her point that trto defense councillors with active problems to talk about had need for quarters over and above executives who were not even present in the city. IT MAY BE A LITTLE LATE in the proceedings but it might seem that the Ohio managers of the sessions missed a point when they did not insist on bringing all the former Governors of Ohio, who still are hale and hearty, to impart their experiences to the executives, many of whom are new and inexperienced on their jobs, Governor Bricker is somewhat of a veteran among them, working on his third term. Governor Herbert O'Connor of Maryland has been in office for a number of years. There are others who have been through the mill a couple of times.

Ohio has a bevy of living former Governors whose dean is James M. Cox, eldest in point of former service. And it is possible that the Buckeye Governors, without detracting from Governor Bricker as host, could give their friends bits of advice bused on experience. Let one recount what they might tell, beginning with Mr. Cox.

He could tell how to run a phase of the social security business on hard sense, without allowing it to become unfeeling and yet without allowing it to become the prey of professsional welfare workers of the Harry Hopkins "spend-and-gpetid," tax-and-tax, elcct-end-elect" kind. What Cox did with workmen's accident compensation became a standard for the nation. Then there is former Governor Harry L. Davis, whose administration is long to be remembered in Ohio. Some unkind folks think and say that Davis and Davey should be "coupled In the betting," as they say at the race tracks.

Davis, however, first swept snow from Ohio highways, having the "sand" to buy the machines. No executive ever did a better job at keeping the roads clear than Davey and it has been due, doubtless, to the Davey example that caused the Bricker administration to do as well as it has, not up to Davey standards but not so slouchy as some of the others who advised the old, old plan of waiting lor the snow to melt. Then there is former Governor A. V. Donahey he insisted on being called Vic who probably understood the plain man and his plnln wife, Mary, better than anybody who ever practiced politics In Ohio.

A gentleman told the writer a story the other day that Illustrates the point. When Donahey went about his pilgrimages, people who got the privilege ol clasping, his MliNOEKT. Governors are exceptional instances in which the statutes are not enforced literally are what make the laws endurable as a whole. If every act of every lawmaking body should be applied literally and applied with no exceptions, the state and the nation might prove to be tough places in which to live. If, for example, every citizen who did not comply to the fullest extent with every traffic light direction snould be com pelled to serve time in jail the crim inal statistics doubtless would be appalling.

So the police make ex amples of the worst and read a few lectures on another part of the in fractions they see and they man age not to see a lot, too. while an other lot gets off through a bit of influence with the court and thus regulation becomes endurable. And that's the practical view that the legislators took about the conventionalities of life. It might be better if humanity accepted the regulations that legislators in their zeal sought to impose a few years ago. The lawmakers, likewise, re fused to put a stop to common law unions, rather preferring to take a chance on the results of human experience than to assume that they could devise a plan right off the handle that would put things to rights, IN GENERAL, this was a session that administered more kicks to patent remedies for human ills than any session in many years.

The welfare worker's nostrums were questioned and then frequently rejected. Some people say that it marked the Assembly as reactionary, but this writer has listened among the common people now for nearly two weeks and has found few complaints against the disposition not to attempt more human guinea pig experiments.
