Much as it pains us to say it, neither our Mrs. Clare | Boothe Luce nor our Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas has ever exercised, or is ever likely to exercise, any- | thing like the political power of say Mme. Recamier | {or Mme. Tallien. The mistress of a really prominent | Parisian salon, it is said, had more power over Lhe destinies of France and of Europe than a whole bloc‘ of deputies or a whole table of ministers. of the code. ted Press is exclusively er nevs dispaict credi paper and also the Votes for French Women Washington Post) By a recent decree, the French ment « French womer ! history.

But it deck hits to sink a modern battle- ship: Probably the most interesting phase of the Navy's communiques ot the Battle of the Philippines was its alibi on why Admiral Halsey ‘“diverted part southward.” This gave away the hitherto unpublished fact that Halsey had chased a wing of the | Jap fleet south and was not near Leyte to help Admiral Kincaid make the final kill Admiral Kineaid had in his fleet the old battleships West Virginia, Maryland, Tenpessee, California and Pennsylvania, badly damaged at. Pearl Harbor but miral Halsey's fleet bigger, more modern, more power- ful vessels. Part of the strategy was to lure the Japs in to attack Kincaid's older vessels, then Halsey, with his more modern fleet, would come in for the kill But Halsey got lured away. admiral with fewer victories hi§ credit might have been di ciplined, though any officer in ll\e heat of battle makes mistakes.
