Even on some foreign af- fairs problems, Truman is inclined to take Leahy’s advice almost more than that of his Secretary of State. For that reason, what Leahy | tells Truman today regarding Rus- | sia is important. The other day, Leahy went in to see his chief and " said to him in substance: “Mr. President, I told Frapklin Roosevelt in 1937 that the time fo Lprevent war was then. If we didn't stop the Japs then, I said, we'd find ourselves fighting on two fronts later, with much greater loss of life and a war that would drag on for a long time. “Mr. Roosevelt, who was a very bound GI's were showered with, bricks and a rail tie dropped from| an overhead bridge near Kanchrap- ara. | ————————— | Four Are Burned To Death; Trapped In Blaze of Ho | ROME, Feb. 14—Il Giornale Del !

And he has sug- gested that they press the chair- man of the Western Governor's Conference—Mon C. Wallgrén of | Washington State—to Initiate the | movement. Pittman asserts that, under Ickes' administration, western interests suffered because western public land affairs were not administer- ed in the best interests of its in- dustries.
