These boys who go out to look death in the face every few days manage to keep fairly cheer ful but many of them, from colonels down to privates, felt a little low that day.

They were holding Major Tom Taylor's funeral in a church near London, burying him in the little American cemetery, to rest until the end of the war. Taylor led his squadron into a raid on Lille and they brought him back dead, his chest shattered by a German shell. It was only after hours and days passed that the boys realized how much they missed him and regretted that their duties prevented them paying some final respect. Like most of the boys who are fighting this war in the air, Taylor was not an especially spectacular figure. Only 24 years old, lanky, dark, and serious except when he would pre tend 10 be sore wnue ne really was praising a man.

He came from Eugene, and was a good athlete at the University of Oregon which he left two years ago to go into the air-force. He was quiet except when he got sore at something. It always worried him when any of his men got in trouble. He would go to bat for them and take It as high up as he could. A few of the officers, headed by Flight Surgeon, Captain Charles Oleson, Madison.

and Squad ron Adjutant Jack ooetze or Kansas City, were able to represent the station at the funeral. But the greatest tribute came at night from one of the privates. Ray Billman, from New Oxford, a driver who used to take Taylor around in his jeep and reconnaissance cars occasionally. Dlllman was a motorcycle daredevil before the war and Is not sentimental, but the other night he was regretting that this assignment prevented him from driving anybody known to Taylor's funeral. "I'd just like to do something for it" he said.

By "a second front" the Russians mean a land front against Hitler in Europe, even though they realize the importance of the African campaign. Cassidy himself expects that the second front will be set up this fall, but he believes it will take at least two more years to batter Germany into defeat. "Russia's mighty winter drives are bound to 6low down soon as a result of the spring thaw and the mud," the correspondent said.

"The Germans may be able to resume their offensives in the summer, but Red Army men think they will not be able to attack on more than one sector of the front. "Next winter the Russians wUl drive the Russians still farther back, and by the winter of 1944, with the Allies and Societs attacking simultaneously, we should be able to launch for the really powerful blows that will mean the end for Hitler." Cassidy turned neat journalistic scoops twice last fall when he submitted questions to Stalin through the simple expedient of dropping letters into the Kremlin mail box and received answers personally signed by Stalin. In the first reply Stalin warned that a second front in Europe was vital and that the Allies would be expected to "fulfill their obligations fully and on tie." In the second, made after the Allied invasion of North Africa, Stalin said the British-American stroke had turned the tide and would ease the pres Two Issues Polls Indicate President, Senate at Odds on Mc- Kellar Bill, Nomination of Allred for Court Job Washington, Feb. 27.

Administration canvasses indicate considerable opposition among Democrats to the President's nomination of former Governor James V.

Allred of Texas to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Allred resigned a Federal district Judgeship to make an unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic senatorial nomination. Setbacks Minimized. In the inner circle around Mr. Roosevelt there is.

a tendency to view the setbacks already handed the Administration as a temporary manifestation which will dissolve with the passing of time. The fight against Allred apparently threatens to assume the proportions of that which preceded the withdrawal of Edward J. Flynn's nomination to be minister to Australia. Because of this, there was talk among some senators that the Allred nomination also might be withdrawn. Senator O'Daniel, Democrat, Texas, who defeated Allred in the sen atorial primary, is expected to oppose the appointment before a Judiciary subcommittee Tuesday when Allred himself will be available for testimony.

Senator Connelly. Democrat, Texas, said he is supporting Allred "because he is honest and is qualified for the job." Connally declared that no opponent has assailed Allred's qualifications for the bench. The McKellar bill will come before the full Judiciary Committee Monday for a vote with Chairman Van Nuys, Democrat, Indiana, predicting its speedy approval. McKellar announced he will seek Senate consideration at the earliest opportunity. J.H.McDermott Newspaperman Dies Suddenly John H.

(AP.) An unexplained explosion in the Smith coal mine killed two men, critically injured three and left 72 others somewhere in the deep workings today. Hope was expressed by Mine Manager Bill Romek the men may have fled deadly black damp and barricaded themselves in a section where they may get pure air. A fully equipped rescue squad ar rive from Butte and went into the mine to pierce a cavein and locate the missing 72. Earlier rescue efforts had been hampered by lack of Eas and smoke equipment. Romek said the cavein was not the major problem, but that gas was.

He said the men. if they were alive, had access throughout the underground workings which go 1000 feet deep. The mine, owned by the Montana Iron and Coal Company, is a slope operation. Never before in Montana history has there been such a potentially high death toll. Suit Against AP Is Hit By Iloosier Association Indianapolis, Feb.

This was based on a Rome dispatch, reported by the Paris radio, that Baron Raffaele Guariglla, vet eran Italian diplomat, has been ap pointed Italian ambassador to xur key in place of Ausrusto Rosso, for mer ambassador to Washington and MOSCOW.

o's appointment to the Ankara post was announced Only about a month ago. Before he could reach his post, however, came the laconic announcement that Guarlg-lia would go there. Reports have been published and broadcast in the United States de scribing Rosso as pro-American and even as anti-Fascist and observing that he might be in a position in Turkey to make contact with representatives of the Allies. Rosso was a popular member of ihe diplomatic set in Washington and made many American friends. Assuming these reports were nicked up by the Rome radio, the Impression in Washington was that they had reached Mussolini, who promptly canceled Rosso's appointment and left him in retirement at Florence, where he has been living with his American wife.

Anybody else whose name hap pened to be mentioned publicly as possibly friendly toward the United States probably would be made in accessible by the Fascist regime, is the Washington view. Little is known here about Guariglla except that he was the Italian ambassador at the Vatican who was replaced when Mussolini assumed the portfolio of foreign affairs to make a place there for his son-in- law, count Galeazzo Ciano, the former foreign minister. It was assumed here that Mussolini is sending Guariglla to Turkey to reward a faithful diplomat. New WLB Group Is Appointed For New England Area To Increase participation by New England labor in war production; and to obtain advice and assistance in solving regional labor problems, Walter H. Wheeler, New England regional director of the War Production Board, announced Friday the appointment of a Regional Labor Policy Committee consisting of 12 leading AFL and CIO officials from the six New England states.

The Connecticut members of the new committee are John J. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, AFL, and John J. Driscoll, secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut State Council, CIO.

Comptroller Must Find Which Lawyer Gets Pay New Britain, Feb. 27. (Special.) To City Comptroller William H.

Day may fall one of the brainteasers resulting from the fact that New Britain now has two lawyers each claiming to be the official clerk of Police and City courts. He will have to rieclde to which of the two, Leonard S. Appell who has been clerk or Harry Ginsburg who was appointed Saturday, will go the $3600 a year salary of the office. The comptroller said when questioned Saturday that he will call upon Corporation Counsel Harold J. Elsenberg to advise him should the matter not be settled when the time arrives for issuance of the next monthly pay check.

Appell refused to give up the credentials and effects of the position Saturday morning when Ginsburg was officially sworn Into office during ceremonies In the Police Court room. Both he and Ginsburg, served in the clerkship during the morn sions. He added that he intends to ask Superior Court to clarify the situation. Attorney Appell claims that when he was appointed to the clerkship it was for a full two-years term starting on July 1, 1941. Attorney Ginsburg and the new local judges who appointed him, John F.

Downes and Harold N. Williams, take the stand that the tenure of office of the clerk depends on the will of the judges. OPA Rules Bond Purchase With Stockings Illegal Trenton. N. Feb.

He described Russia's attitude toward Japan as one of "correct in line with the treaty signed in 1940 whereby Russia and Japan agreed that if either country became involved in war with a third power, the other would remain neutral. "The Soviet press prints the British, American and Japanese communiques textually and in that order," Cassidy said. "But there is relatively little interest in the war in the Pacific. For the Russians, the number one enemy is Hitler and they are primarily interested in driving the Nazis out of their country." Cassidy does not believe the Red Army will necessarily stop its advance at the borders of Russia, although Stalin has stated that the Soviet does not intend to destroy Germany or leave her without any armed forces.

But it is unlikely that Russia will permit Germany to retain such strength as to be nble to attack the Soviet again. And, in addition, as cassidy pointed out, "Russia and Britain have agreed by treaty that neither will accept a separate peace."
