(AP) Two books on the neatly-kept desk of Gen. LDwight D. Eisenhower in his office at Supreme Headquarters Indicate a philosophy of praying for victory and know thy enemy go hand-in-hand.

The books are the Soldiers and Sailors Prayer Book, and one dealing with Hitler's generals. The "office of the supreme commander. Which sees very little of him these days, is filled with mementos of his past campaigns, as well as countless secrets for which the Germans would sacrifice many divisions of men to gain. It is a rectangular room, with a big fireplace, two small tables, and a large desk in a corner between two windows. Lining the walls are pictures of United Nations leaders, addressed to "Ike." One of the key positions is held by Gen.

George C. Marshall, chief of. staff of the UJS. Army, and across the picture is written "with full confidence and high regard, etc." One of the oldest pictures is from Pres. Roosevelt, reading "For Maj.

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower from His Friend, Franklin D. Prime Minister Winston Churchill's picture Is merely signed There are also copies of various important documents. The most Important of these is the shortest Roosevelt's cable to Stalin informing him of Eisenhower's appointment as commander-in-chief of the western front invasion force." On nearby tables are pictures of the general's mother, his wife and son, and his dog, Telex, now in British quarantine. On the mantelpiece is a series of pictures of a man Eisenhower has never met, given him by his intelligence staff in Africa.

When the supreme commander sees this person in the flesh the war will probably be over. The pictures are of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. Escaping Aviators Ambushed by Nazis BARCELONA, Spain, June 2. thr clientele and NO CALLS We extend Defoliated; Worms, Beetles Doing It MADISON. Wis! Thousands of shade and fruit trees in southern Wisconsin are being completely de- lonatea by a mo oi xeaz gluttons known as the cankerworm.

tent caterpillar and June beetle, E. L. Chambers, state entomologist of the state department of agriculture, re ported Chamoer recommenaea tne use of an arsenical spray to protect trees in affected areas against denudation by these insects. Federal restrlcitons against the use of ar- senlcals on shade trees have been relaxed, he said, explaining that a good spray can be made from arena te of lead mixed at the rate of lA to 2 pounds per 50 gallons of water. Trees striDoed of their leaves in the spring usually leaf again during the summer, said.

If they have been defoliated several consecutive years, however, they may be so weak that they will succumb to bark borers. State Candidates Expected to File Before Deadline Last Minute Rush Is Indicated By DON BRANNON MADISON, June 2, (AP) Only three days remain for filing nomination papers and since few political candidates have attended to this detail, the secretary of state's office is preparing for the usual rush to beat the deadline. i. Petitions of candidates for all major state offices, the UJS. Senate, and representative in Congress must be filed with the secretary of state.

So must those of candi dates for state senate seats in all districts except Milwaukee and Dane counties, and Assembly seats in districts comprising more than one county, ine deadlines is a June 6. i The first day for circulating petitions was May 6. There have been reports that the manpower shortage and the abundance of well-paid jobs, together with transportation difficulties, presented problems in getting the papers around to sign' ers, which may account for some delays in filing. But experienced politicians say strategy is the real reason. It works like this; A candidate puts out petitions by the bundle, getting as many persons as he can to circ ulate them.

He may need only a few hundred signatures, but why ston when the number is obtained? It's good publicity, this having: someone go into a voter's home with word of John Doe's candidacy. And, it means that the circulators cham pioning his cause day alter day are buildine up a valuable orgamza tion. The candidate thinks is bad for morale to tell his workers he has all the names he needs and then call them off the Job before they get all their petitions filled. Up until last night, only two of the five Republican candidates for governor had filed their papers. one of the Democratic and Frogres sive candidates had presented theirs.

Nor had candidates for U.S. senator in any party put in an appearance, although most of the incumbent congressmen were among the early birds. Most of the candidates for minor state of-lfces were also waiting until the final days. Nomination papers are being circulated for Major Hugh M. Jones as a candidate for the Republican nomination for congressman from the Ninth District.

Jones, chief of the State Motor Vehicle Department, is on military leave and is serving abroad. The Ninth now is represented by Merlin Hull of Black River Falls, who asks re-election on the Progressive ticket. Regardless of election results, four familiar Republican faces will be missing in the senate chamber when the 1945 legislature convenes. Their terms expire at the end of this year and all have decided against asking re-election. Senator Milton T.

Murray of Mil-saukee seeks the Republican nomination for governor: John W. Byrnes of Green Bay, the Eighth District congressional nomination; and John F. Lappen of Appleton, the nomination for sheriff of Outagamie county. Helmar A. Lewis of Boscobel, has resigned to become OPA counsel "in the LaCrosse district.

This means new chairmen of some of the senate's most important committees. In the 1943, session, Murray headed the committee on committees and the corporations and taxation committees; Byrnes the Judiciary committee, and Lewis the Joint committee on finance. Lappen served on the agriculture and labor committee." It also means selection of a new floorleader, whose duties were shouldered by Byrnes when Warren P. Knowles of New Richmond, entered the Navy. Knowles, a lieutenant asks re-election, however, and if successful might be chosen floor-leader, The voters will say whether Republican Senators Taylor G.

Brown of Oshkosh and Bernhard Gettel-man of Milwaukee, return to their desks. Both are holdovers (only senators representing even-numbered districts are up for re-election) but aspire to other offices-Brown, the lieutenant governorship and Gettelman, the Fifth (Milwaukee) congressional seat. The 1945 senate will have the final say, of course, but the voters also will have a voice in the matter of a senate president pro tempore. Senator Conrad Shearer of Kenosha, president pro tern since 1941, asks re-election on the Republican ticket. The four Democratic members of the senate Robert E.

Tehan, Anthony P. Gawronski and Clement J. Zablockt of Milwaukee, and Har-ley M. Jacklln of Plover do not have to go before the voters this year. They represent odd-numbered districts.

Two of the six progressives Fred Risser of Madison and George Ham pel of Milwaukee ask re-election. -The others are holdovers. Mary's hospital in Portage, and left a note telling her parents she was going to the St. Mary Convent, 35th and Center Milwaukee. The parents requested the search.

The class of 1944 was presented by Miss Clara Moeschler, superintendent, to B.

The Girls Glee club, under the direction of Miss Eyleene Atkins, sang two selections. My Garden is a Lovely Place, and The Green Cathedral.

Miss Norma Stevens played for the procession of the graduates. The ceremonies were held In the Memorial at 2 o'clock. The theme of the Rev. Haehlen's address "The Eyes Have It." was taken from a survey given to British filers after they had returned from missions when they expected that England would be Invaded. The fliers were tested for tunnel vision, depth perception, and their ability to withstand glare and the speaker asked the graduates and the audience to take these as mental tests, instead of a test for the eyes and see how they measure.

One who has tunnel vision can not see clearly anything that is not directly in front of him and he added that this is Important in the life of a flyer; One with mental tunnel vision is concerned with only his own or Immediate family troubles or happiness and can not appreciate the problems of others and this does not lead to a satisfactory life, he continued. Many of the filers were losing their depth 'of perception after so many hours of duty, he stated the survey showed. So many of us are satisfied with surface knowledge, never seeing the value of looking deeper the speaker went on. Too many are satisfied with a smattering df knowledge, and only read condensed reading material, looking for glib" or "smart" answers.

The institution has felt the same stress that all educational institutions are feeling during the war, he pointed out, and particularly so because an accelerated training program instituted in all of the normals of the state had failed to attract students as expected. Because of a balance built up' in IVn5' years of approximately $10,000 the school will continue throughout the coming year on the basis of action by the county board, but, at least 12 students are enrolled during the year, the state aid will be. withdrawn and there will be nothing in state funds, the greater part of the operations cost, for the 1945-46 session. Jungck told the club. He urged that some action be taken to keep the school going until a change in the fortunes? of war returned it to its place in the educational scheme.

President Paul E. Vasey turned the matter over to, the community service committee. Teachers Career Calls for "Best" Stout Grads Told MENOMONTE. Education is a calling or true dignity and Is not task for- the dull or indifferent Dr. Homer J.
