Exactly 49,860 dead up to midsummer is the figure. Now, the Allies are striking at the German war- maker, and the Reich is adding its toll to the non- combatant dead. a Puppet Franco Salutes (New York Times) sideration” to the action of the Spanish dictator, General Franco, in sending a message of congratula- tion to the Filipino traitor, Jose P. Laurel, whom the Japanese have ‘placed at the head of their puppet regime on what is still American soil. This country has beéen patint with Franco, especially during the civil war days when a large section of American public opinion saw the issue as one between communism on one side and conservatism on the other. The Second CIVILIAN Precisely how children-— who have lost their the war. But an estimate of the number have lost their lives by war action in all theatres of war to date is 22,000,000 Military authorities say that this figure is tre- mendous for three reasons. In the civilian populations find that war has moved in on | them before they can be evacuated—on fast wheels | and wings. Long-range bombing behind the battle lines, aiming at concentrations of industries, the workers and their homes. Finally, it is total war extermination.

So far as can be ascertained, he did not deposit the cash in any savings account. Examination of his checking account shows that checks of this size were distinctly unusual. Yet, when questioned, Comfort was not able to remember what he did with the cash. In December, 1940, Comfort re- ceived a second $15,000 from the airplane companies, and on Decem- per 28, he signed a check to him- self for $3900 and a check to his brother, George P. Comfort, for $7,500. Both checks were cashed‘ the same da¥, and examination of | both Comfort’s and his brother’s| personal accounts shows that no de- | posits even remotely approximating | the size of these sums were madel during an extended period there- nfter. | Again Comfort was unable to re- | member what he or his brother had done with the money. Big question in Washington is:!} ‘Who got the money? NOTE—In August, 1942, Presiden! Roosevelt asked for an investiga- tion of the whole matter, mcludmg ther Brewster irregularities ‘ teen months have now passed uuln o resulting action. BULLITT REBUFFED BY FDR Several weeks before the recent| Philadelphia election, ex-Ambassa- dor Bill Bullitt came down to see| his old friend the President to pave| the way for a place for himself ini the Roosevelt Administration in case of defeat. Apparently he had a premonttion that his race to be-: come Mayor of Philadelphia was! going to fail. | Bullitt has known the Pl'esldel\”’ for many years, has received nu- merous high honcrs from him as Ambassador to Russia and Ambas- | sador to France. But in months that friendship has dulled, due to the campaign Bullitt waged against ex-Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles. Bullitt has been suspected of seeking Welles' job,! and eventually stepping up Hull's shoes as Secretary of State. The story is that, when Bullitt sounded out the coming back to Washington, is said to have replied in words to this effect: “If I were the angel Gabriel and DEAD many civilians—men, lives in conflict is not known now, noer is their any probability \ that this figure will be determined with accuracy after | you must cooperate with labor | you Pxpecl labor service.
