EMDAYiEVENING, AtKlUST 2, 1940 -DC Gaulle Fears for Us? Giving'to the'world what lie believes inside story of the' defeat of Prance, General CharleVde. Gaulle, leader of the forces of the who refuse to bow to the will-of its leadership back home, in an. interview with Quentin correspondent for that "Germany can.still-be beaten, even now, but. we must make use of 'the same weapons she-has used so''successfully." '-'Germany, he says, won with 6,000 tanks and 5,000 planes. She must.be beaten tanks and 20,000 planes: for definite reasons, says de Gaulle.

These were: "First of all our military system did not" bother to develop any mechanized strength in the air and on the ground; the panic which gripped our civilian-population at the advance of the German mechanized units; third, the tangible effect the.fifth column had on the minds of many of our leaders, and lack of coordination between us and our Allies." Tfie general it was -who sug- ges'ted mechanized in 1934, when he was an-, obscure captain. He wrote a book on the subject. THe was without: honor as a tactician in own-country, he volume became bibi'e of General Haiiss Guderian, who'-was then beginning to organize- the mechanized forces of the Keich, and "who later utilized the tactics by.de Gaulle during the Nazi The general does not say who is to provide the tanks 'and 20,000 but his mind turns to America when he adds: "To date the'-war- has taught us that we have a real military revolution. If I were an American I would lessons to heart. America be ready at any time with the necessary weapons to meet a modern attack, with mechanized forces of land and.

I would take for my slogan, 'We should do our. utmost to save liberty in this world by- and at any rest assured that while we are and preparing to spend 14 billions' on preparedness, Germany will think many attempting to attack us. Hitler will never find it possible to get even a fraction of the mechanical implements of war referred to across the "moat."

A Connellsville native who left, or rather was carried away from, the community he was in his 'swaddling clothes (age six months) tack Thursday to talk (to the Rotary Club at its weekly luncheon) about program of the Federal Housing Authority. Chiefly his subject c.ealt with the Pittsburgh Housing Authority, ot. which he is assistant executive.

The speaker was Ellis Tumpson, son of A. J. Tumpson, who for many years was engaged in the clothing business in.Connellsville. 'About 25 years ago the family' moved to Somerset and then tha elder Tumpson is livirig retired. Ellis returns just occasionally to ihe'-sc'enes of His previous visit was three or four years ago.

He is "a cousin 'of Gerhart M. Horewitz, chairman of Rotary's program committee, who introduced him. Referring to the proposed Fayette county housing program, Mr. Tumpson said he was informed on a visit to Washington two w.eeks ago that it is "well up on the list'for consideration." Projects are planned for Connellsville, Uniontown and -Masontown, he said, involving some 700 low-rent houses, for which the FHA will stand ready to Joan three millions. As'indicating the demand for loans for slum clearance and low-rent home building, Mr.

Tumpson said nearly the whole ot the BOO millions originally set aside for the purpose has been exhausted, while there applications on file for'a billion dollars more from 500 counties and cities in the Nation. Under the direction of the Pittsburgh Housing Authority, said 'the authority's assistant executive, nearly 3,100 homes have been erected on thfee areas of 20, 40 and 100 acres, while projects in the making will bring the total to 3,900 with the addition of two major areas. An interesting phase'of the FHA program Mr. Tumpson dealth with was taxes. In.

response to an inquiry he said all such projects are tax free. But, he added, the Authority is offsetting what would otherwise be a loss in-revenue to the county or municipality or'both by allocating to them sums equivalent to the taxes on the properties which are dismantled under the FHA program.

Todt (called Toad or Iron) Hill, Stateu Island. By ROGER W. BABSON BABSON PARK, Aug. 2. --Business in the second half of his year should be very active-in nost lines--maybe the best final in history.

More real jobs, atter pay envelopes, modestly hfgher farm income, bigger, dividends than in the first halt of '40, or in the final six months 1939 are assured. There will be no noticeable gain in living costs, but taxes will be the leaviest in a quarter-century. The next few months will be a period of intense industrial ac- ivity as our mammath defense program gets under way. This defense progranr will put toe "oomph" in the industrial boom ahead. If peace comes in Europe before the program gets going full blast, there will be, a halt in 'the upswing.

The longer peace is postponed, iiowevcr, the greater the possibility that business activity will break all previous records some time in 1940 or 1941.

Business Second Half of 1940 May Be Best in History Strength for Your Daily Tasks By Earl L.

Douglass, D. D. JUST TO GET BY Some people just won't face facts. They live beyond their incomes and refuse to believe in the approaching day of judgment. They mortgage' their future and go gaily along refusing to face the fact that in reality they have given their future away.

are conscious' that they leave undone every day important things upon which happiness and success depend. They be-' licve that if they get by with work and manage to come to the end of the day still holding their jobs, keeping their friends, and evading their creditors, they are open' to congratulations. They are like women wbo sweep the dust under the sofa and con- aider that the ro'om is tidied up for the week. The just-get-by life is a most miserable and unsatisfactory form' of existence. To be only one jump ahead of the heavy hand ot correction and discipline is as bad as being pursued by a ravenous beast.

The happy people arc the ones who walk confidently along life's pathway, conscious that duties have been performed in their proper order, that what should be done has been done, aria that they, can look every man straight in the eye and give him a cheerful greeting because they know that they owe their fellows nothing but a spirit of good wilL DAVIDSONS "Meet Me" at Davidson's" Headed For Success FALL FROCKS with entrancing siim lines Step out in a Slim Frock now one of these with a big Fall future!

Halt to Depression. i Readers will recall that in my outlook for the first half of 194D I predicted a gam of IV to 15 pel- cent over the same months of 1939, but a downward trend from the high levels of January 1.

This gain was 11.5 per cent and busi-. ness is six per cent under trie New Deal level. I also said that we would have either a boom or a crash (no half-way course) in the second half of the year. I felt that it was impossible at that time to say which it would be. Now, however, I predict for the balance of this year a real boom in most industries.

Pace-setter in, this industrial expansion ahead will be the heavy industrie-s. Steel operations are scheduled to reach a new peak for any six-months period on record-. They are entering the second half at close to 90 per cent of capacity, the highest midsummer figure since 192S. Machine shops, metal foundries, airplane factories, shipyards, railway-equipment plants, have huge backlogs of orders. Only a shortage of skilled labor can prevent these industries from breaking all previous' records.

Railroad Revival. The next few months may well see the railroads pull themselves fiut of the doldrums for the first time in 10 years.
