Much Ado, 2 Nor could the foregoing be attributed to the heat of the moment. Three days after the first triumphant push over the old Polish frontier, Stanislaw Mikolajc-zyk. the Polish Premier, was solemnly proclaiming thtt.

Russia and Poland were not allies in the wax against Germany. He added that he would have "preferred" the situation to be otherwise, which might have been Intended as a conciliatory gesture toward the Kremlin. But lt wa doubtful Stalin would find it so. Much Ado, 3 Meanwhile, the Union of Polish Patriots in Moscow, set up by the Russians frankly to counteract the reactionary" government-ih-exile at London, offered a solution of the whole ticklish problem, thus: Let the Poles give Russia the disputed eastern territory and let the Poles, in return, extend their western frontier at Germany'! expense. Also, let all "reactionary" elements in Poland be overthrown, a democratic government installed and all Poles, regardless of political creed, unite.

Much Ado, 4 If the Poles were talking out of turn, Uie Russians could not claim any medals for keeping their lips buttoned either. Seizing upon an article by Wendell Willkie, which appeared in the New York Times under the heading, "Don't Stir Distrust of Russia." the Communist party newspaper Pravda loosed a bitter attack upon him as a "political gambler" Intent on "muddying the waters" with his views on the status of Poland and the Baltic states. This, said Pravda, was the business of the Soviet Union and none of Willkie's. It added that the article was written by the "candidate for the Presidency in the coming elections" and, as such, not to be trusted. Consensus in the U.

S. It was a good thing that Willkie wa not a regularly chosen candidate at the moment else Pravda would discover that it had stubbed its toe on American public opinion for sure. Pipe Dream Doubtless feeling the need for escapism.

(Hap) Arnold Like Gabriel, He Heads A Lot of Folks With Wings By VIOLIT BROWN East Goes Wet Moment the touchy Polish government-in-exile at London had long been dreading came to pass early last week the triumphant Red armies streamed across the invisible boundary marking the 1939 Polish border and pressed westward over the old Polish plains. Weren't any sign posts marking the border because as far as the Soviets are concerned there Isn't any, and even if there had been, it is doubtful whether the Russians would have stopped for a by-your-leave. Emigre Poles promptly went into a tantrum. Created what promises to be the war No. I hot potato for the Allies.

(See Much Ado, 2, 3, 4.) Moscow, however, seemed to think that the frontier question, which has been a thorn in the side of European peacemakers for nearly two centuries, was less important at the moment than the great military event now taking place on the Russian front, put into a capsule by a D. N. B. report, thus: "Our eastern front, from Vi tebsk to the Black Sea, is moving westward." London and Washington seemed to agree. Simultaneously with the exulting push of Gen.

Nikolai F. Va-tutin's 1st Ukrainian Army Into prewar Poland and its virtually unchecked three-pronged advance toward Bessarabia from the north over the remains of the reeling Wehrmacht, Gen. Ivan S. Konev's 2d Ukrainian Army opened a new offensive. This blasted a 62-mile wide breakthrough in the Nazi Dnieper lines, was surrounding industrial Kirovograd as Trend went to press and formed the closing Jaws of a trap in the Middle Dnieper that promises the worst German defeat since Stalingrad.

Only question remaining this Sabbath was how much of the Wehrmacht the trap would be able to catch. Barring a near-miracle, it appeared that hundreds of thousands of Der Fuehrer's picked troops would be swallowed up. At worst, if Von Mann-stein was able to engineer some kind of withdrawal, southern Rus-ia will be cleared. South Goes North There was bad news for Berlin to the south, too, where weeks of skirmishing ended with an offensive by the Allied 5th Army started in blinding rain and sleet, typical this season of "sunny Italy." As usual In this theater, every Inch of ground had to be wrested from the Germans, but the Americans and the British were advancing doggedly over the 10-mile front astride the mountainous road to Cassino and Rome. After desperate street fighting, in which the Germans attempted to turn it into another San Pietro, With every house a pillbox and every sheltered point a machinegun emplacement, American units finally captured the strategic village of San Vittore.

In the Pacific Meanwhile, the Americans con tinued their attacks on the key atolls of the Marshals, the northern Solomons, New Britain and New Ireland in augury of the coming all-out offensive promised by Allied leaders. Week was rife with optimistic predictions as to the fate of the Rising Sun, but a grim note was injected by Under Sect'y of War Robert P. Patterson, who announced in a press confab at Los Angeles, that to date only 377 Japanese prisoners have been taken by American forces a clear indication of the I fanatical zeal with which any assaults have been and will be met. There was a new landing on New Guinea at Saidor, executed by Americans of the 32d Division who had survived the bloody Buna fighting of a year ago. This time the beachhead was taken at a cast of only three lives.

Communique from MacArthur's headquarters, incidentally, noted in passing that Saidor's capture marks the first time the Allies have retaken any rubber-produc-' ing land. Elsewhere Air bombardment of the Invasion coast and Hitler's Fortress Europe continued without a letup during the week. Stockholm reported that one of the bombs loosed over Berlin last weekend had trapped high Nazi officials in Hitler's supposedly bomb proof Chancellery. Unfortunately Dei-Fuehrer was out of town.

Nothing daunted, Blaney borrowed a gun, finished the deer and took home 200 pounds of venison as well as what might be a tall tale if it weren't that there were witnesses to prove it.

It's an III Wind, Etc. Beauteous Olivia de Havilland was visiting soldiers who were feeling under the weather at Brook General Hospital, Port Sam Houston, Texas, the other day, when medicos decided she didn't look as if she felt any too good herself. Their diagnosis was flu, and they ordered her to climb right into one or the beds and stick around for a while. And as if that weren't enough for one week, exactly the same thing happened under the same circumstances to Gypsy Rose Lee, the ecdysiast, at Post Hospital, Fort Bragg, N. C.

Seems David Fleay, the curator, stoutly ignoring naturalists who said it couldn't be done, placed nesting material in the platypus lnclosure in October and molelike, web-footed Jill promptly carried it into a burrow. Later she remained there for six days, which presumably was the period required for incubation of her soft-shelled eggs. And on Monday, opening the burrow, Fleay found a fat little baby platypus about 9 weeks old, still blind as a bat and barking like a puppy. Was thrilled to death, too.

If You Don't Succeed, Etc. William A. Sackel Jr. of Buchanan, N. is 21 and a pa-troit.

Naturally he wants to be in the service. But Sackel is also a very long drink of water, 6 ft. 9 in. tall, to be exact. Accordingly, he was turned down by the navy and marines.

Army did take him, although he was three inches above the limit, but he was honorably discharged when It was discovered that he was still growing. Next Sackel tried to get Into the TJ. S. Maritime Service. Five times was rejected as being too tall, but finally his persistence won over one recruiting officer who personally asked Washington to relax the rules Just this once.

And so last week Sackel was sworn in as an apprentice seaman. Was tagged as being only 6 ft. 8 in. tall, too a sympathetic medico measured him in his stocking feet. Each to His Taste For the fifth successive year Emil H.

Manpower Note Night Club Manager BUI Peter-en of Kansas City, Mo, isn't hav- It's Up to the Nation Tragically to New Yorkers was the war brought home this past week by the mysterious explosions which sank the new destroyer Turner in the lower harbor; and dramatic awe, though without casualties, by the realistic air raid show witnessed by thousands in the heart of the city. Meanwhile at the seat of gov ernment. President Roosevelt, suffering grip, polished up his message on the state of the nation; returning Congressmen still disputed over tax legislation, the '4 election, the soldier vote; rift widened among the five operating railway brotherhoods, while 15 rail unions in Labor, their official organ, charged the President and his advisers were largely to blame for failure to settle wage disputes, even dragging in the name of Chief of Staff Marshall. In semi-seclusion the President was gathering his strength to face the most hostile Congress he has faced in 11 years.

He will find Republican opposition strong, the Democratic majority split and fearful. Lies before him the supreme task of making members of Congress, and behind them the people, realize that if victory is to be won this year, as General Eisenhower and his men would have it, it is up to the home front. Tragic Awakening While the city slept through a wintry night, the destroyer Turner, carrying four 5-inch guns and ten 21-inch torpedo tubes, dropped anchor at 3:30 about two miles south of Rockaway Point. Three hours later officers were at the bridge, most of the crew had left the forward mess when a terrific explosion forward brought down the destroyer's mast, cut off all communication. Other explosions followed, after the destroyer had split amidships and slid into the sea.

The whole metropolitan area was shaken from the Long Island coast to Westchester. Casualties were estimated at about 80, including Comm. Henry Sollet Wygant whose widow lives in Jackson Heights. Those rescued numbered 163. Report on the Investigation under Navy Secretary Knox is being awaited daily.

The Turner was one of 56 destroyers of the' Bristol class and one of the 155 ships authorized under the 1940 emergency program. She was launched last February and commissioned in April. Early In the week the navy identified the destroyer torpedoed and sunk in the North Atlantic in December as the 1.090-ton Leary, commissioned in 1919. Pity the Profiteer The tax bill to go before the Senate this week is no longer a revenue measure but is now largely "a measure to appropriate public funds for 'relief of war profiteers and others," charged Randolph Paul, Treasury counsel, who still stands adamant for the Administration bill, while the Senate measure calls for only a fifth of that amount. These reasons he gave for saying it is a "tragic 1.

Soldiers Speak Up Highlightine proposed liquor prohibition discussion are some words in a Stars and Stripes editorial: "We know what we want in the way of liquor legislation and we feel that those at home should wait until we return be--fore initiating further legislation on liquor control." Hearings on the subject have been forced by more than 100.000 petitioners. They may get started Wednesday on legislation introduced last Spring by Representative Bryson of South Carolina, who would outlaw beverages containing more than a half of 1 percent in alcohol, that prohibition to last until "the termination of demobilization." Said Representative Ramfpeck of Georgia, Democratic whip, "we did it in the -last war and four million soldiers jumped on Congress for its action. At least eight million of them will be ready to complain if it's done again.

I will never support such leeislation." Big Business, No. 1 Cartels again come up in the news with British Imperial Chemical Industries, accused of being in cahoots with two American firms and six individuals. U.

Besides the Imperial, named' in the complaint were E. I. du Pent de Nemours Lammot du Pont, board chairman; Walter S. Carpenter president; Remington Arms Charles K. Davis, president and general manager.

Most comforting were the words, "the coming year will be a year of decisive actions in the war. By combining their strength the United Nations have increased the power of the common drive to defeat the Axis. We have already beaten our enemies on every front on which we are engaged." Windfall Headlining Governor Dewey's annual message was the news of a cash balance of about in the State Treasury, come the end of March. For taxpayers, too, good was the news that the State Tax Commission has prepared a simplified tax form "easily understood and capable of being filled out by an average taxpayer In five or ten minutes." The surplus, said he graphically, "has come to us out of the hurricane of war." Rather than a cut in taxes, the Governor recommended that this' balance be transferred to a Postwar Recon struction Fund to be ready for "the inevitable rainy day." After the war is over, he would finance a program of public works and rehabilitation. Threat to Tax Rate While Governor Dewy boasts of a surplus, Mayor LaGuardia in his annual message complained that unless the State Legislature gives the city power to collect .000 to $30,000,000 more money this year, the tax rate on real estate will have to go up beyond the present record of $2.89.

Yet, aid the Mayor, the city's finances "are far better than could be reasonably expected." Pleading for the new City Council's co-operation, he asked likewise "a complete recess of politics in city administration for the duration." Of special interest to the borough was the fact that Councilman Joseph T. Sharkey was elected vice chairman, while Councilman Genevieve B. Earle, his defeated opponent, was named minority leader. Another way out was urged on the Mayor and borough heads by the Commerce and Industry Assn. of New York.

They would abolish the nickel subway fare and bring it to a level that would make the system pay its own way. Soft Coal or Else Critical still was the coal situation. With not enough hard coal on hand to meet emergency orders, householders were told they'd have to put up with whatever they could get for the time being. Official promises of relief could not be fulfilled. Anthracite or bituminous, any size or grade, was what City Fuel Administrator Salmon advised.

And said Brig. Gen. Bryce P. Dlsque, head of the Coal Consumers Protective Association, "I know the people here resent, using soft coal," but, added he.

57-year-old Arnold is not air-minded member of his family. and daughter Lois is married flier. His two grown sons, both, are not in the air force, reasons, and 14-year-old little young for a pilot, but interested in aviation that their telling them stories which became so long that they wound form. Not a few of the young commands must have grown successful "Aviator Series" including such classics as the Flying Cadet," "Bill Bruce' Transcontinental Air Races," the general's only hobby. not, he loves to cook.

And his steak, but cookies, in every and variety. These days he's making them in the shape of Super-bombers, each with its own load for Goering. Strlctly speaking, General Henry H. Arnold, "Hap" since West Point days, thanks to a non-erasable grin, began flying in knickers In Gladwyne, when he took off from the top of a barn with the help of his mama's parasol. But for practical purposes, his flying career began at the Wright brothers' school in Dayton in 1911, when the army suddenly became terribly air conscious and detailed five of its young officers to study that newfangled toy, the airplane.

He's the only survivor of that original five-man U. S. Air Force. Is therefore the nation's No. 1 birdman in point of time as well as by virtue of his exalted position as chief of the United States Army Air Forces.

Moreover, there are those who would argue that he further deserves the title because, while there might be an air force, there would be a lot less of it without "Hap" Arnold. He began fighting for it side by side with General Billy Mitchell, only with more tact. So while Mitchell was fired, Arnold was merely transferred to Fort Riley, where he spent two years looking at the prairies, drawing blueprints and waiting for the day when he could transform the air force from a service in which the commanding general knew everyone down to the last grease monkey to a service which, he announced proudly last week in a report, numbers 2,385,000 officers and men and is America's weapon of "greatest strength." It was a great day for General Arnold when that report came out, probably an even greater day than the one when four gold stars were pinned on his lapel in recognition of the fact that his position on the President's board of strategy was equal to that of General George Marshall, the Chief of Staff, and Admiral Ernest J. King, commander in chief of the U. S.

Fleet. At that time, his pals presented him with a brass hat which now sits on a cabinet in his airplane model-cluttered office in Washington. It didn't fit him at the time; nor did it last week. But he was feeling pretty puffy all the same. For all his genius at air strategy though, Arnold himself has never fired a gun at an enemy plane.

Like General Dwight (Ike) Eisenhower who is having a little something to do with the war in Europe today, he broadcast told of locomotives driven "partly by propellers and probably also by rockets," passing through a tunnel under the Sea of Japan, no less, and traversing plains, deserts, mountains and marshlands, not to mention the Pamir Plateau, the "ceiling of the world." Train is to meet the also illusory "Berlin-to-Bagdad" railway after the Japanese track pass Teheran. Travel time according to Nipponese figures: Seven days.

S. troops on Bougainville have found it a good idea to call their officers "Charlie" or "Bob" because Jap snipers have sharp eari and dote on picking off superiors. Officers naturally don't wear Insignia, this being the case, a happenstance which leads to considerable confusion at times. Aa witness the private who was having trouble getting his truck through a swamp when he encountered a general, minus stars, in a jeep.

Yelled the private: "Get the hell off this road and let me get by. I've front-line supplies." General got the hell off. Incognito, 2 Allied Hq. in Algiers held a press confab the other day to announce that the 13 Wac telephone operators who handled the secret switchboards at the Cairo confab had received special commendations for their work.

But Harry Hopkins' telephone was busy as a railroad information booth.
