The quiet parleys under way be- tween Minnesota Farmer-Laborites and Democrats do not contemplate a fusion of the two parties, but a working alliance aimed at putting a single liberal ticket in the field against the GOP in 1942. Intimates of Governor Stassen are predicting that he will run for a third term two years hence as part of his am- bition to try for the presidency in 1944 Representative Estes Kefauver, young Tennessee first “ermer, is being boosted by former Representative John Dempsey of New Mexico for the place he vacat- ed on the Dies Committee . Kansas GOP leaders, seeking (o learn why Willkie ran so well in the State while Governor Ratner nearly was defeated, claim they have quietly traded off Ratner for Will- kie support. BRITISH DAMAGE Confidential military estimates of Nazi bombing damage to Great Bri- ‘ain are that the British industrial oroduction has fajlen off about 30 per cent. While this is a verv serious crimp in the output of British planes, anti-aircraft guns and shells, it is not as bad as the pictures of shat- tered Bristol, Coventry, and South- ampton would indicate, Reason damage to British indus- frial production has not been great- er is (1st) that the British more than a year ago began scattering their plants in small units through- out Scotland and northern Eng- land, which are hard to locate jand hard to hit after they are lo- cated; (2) that those big. plants which do remain are protected with |a virtual forest of anti-alreraft guns, | Thus, although terrific damage '| was done to Coventry, most of it | was in the residential and business | |part of the city, not so much in ulhe industrial areas.

Far more serious is the damage to British navy yards. These cannot be broken up into small units, and they have been so heavily damaged that the repair of British shipping is very materially retarded. In many cases, British warships have been repaired at sea. This, plus the tremendous in- crease in the sinking of merchant ivessels, is what makes the Britih |shipping plight so desperate at present, (Copyright, 1940, by United Fea- ture Syndicate, Inc,) i e Doughboy's Didionary (By AP FEATURE SERVICE Cough Mixture—Poison gas.
