American, British, Chinese . Chiefs Meet Just at { End of Monsoons.

NEW DELHI, Oct. 20 (U. P.).— Unofficial observers believed today’ that a series of conferences among| the supreme American, British and Chinese military commanders in| gs India indicated the allies would |] open an offensive to drive the Jap- nr anese ‘from Burma before the end all of next spring. ; Although nothing official had been issued on the meetings, it was considered significant that the top allied military chiefs met just when |: the ‘rainy monsoon season which makes military operations in Burma | § virtually impossible from May to October, was drawing to a close. |§

Must ‘Strike Shortly

After the fall winds have blown away the heavy blanket of clouds and the sun has dried the sodden mountain roads and trails leading|} from India into Burma, it will be possible to transport invading forces ‘and supplies into the enemy-held territory next month. However, even arm chair tacti- . clans realize that an allied offensive " probably could not be opened that early because of the numerous prob“lems and tremendous preparations involved. But they also know that if the allies hope to retake Burma before 1944 they must strike within the next six months or wait another whole year for the next rainless Season.

VANNUYS SEES NO POLL TAX FILIBUSTER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (U. P.) — Chairman’ Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind), chairman of the senate judiciary committee, denied today

that the second delay in two weeks on the poll tax bill constituted a “filibuster in committee.” Members voted 8 to 4 yesterday to delay until next Monday con-

sideration of two bills and a constitutional amendment to outlaw poll taxes as a prerequisite to voting in federal elections. One of the bills passed the house last week, over vigorous objection of congressmen from the eight states still making such payments a requirement for voting. Senator VanNuys said ‘the bills contain “surplusage and driftwood” in the form of “conclusions ‘and philosophy” which the committee

members wish to eliminate.

“Back in 98, in the Spanish-American War,” reminisces little Old -Timer 2414, “20 cars was .an average-length freight train. By World War I, weld upped our Santa Fe freights to an average . 35.9 cars. Not bad railrbadin’, that.”

“Not bad is right,” answers the big new freight Diesel, “but not good enough for World War II. Now we’ve stretched em out another 41%, to 50.9 cars, and those cars are bigger, loaded heavier, and rolling farther and faster.” + “Good work, son,” says Old-Timer. “Yours is the BIG war job: Keep ‘em rollin’ — or else!”

“I am against putting such young men in the army,” Rep. Larrabee said. “Forty-four years practicing medicine convinced me that 18-year-olds still aré growing and they should not be sent to war unless the necessity is very great and all other sources of manpower have been ex-

except for the more mature.” ~ Usually 109 per cent new dealer,

ministration a few weeks ago when he supported the farm bloc amendment to the anti- inflation bill. Rep. Springer’s vote against the 18-year-old draft was less surprising, since he never voted for any draft bill and rated as one of the leading isOlationists in the house prior to Pearl Harbor. His contributions since largely have been in the form of criticism and complaint regarding the conduct of the war, Other Hoosiers Favor Bill

Rep. Charles A. Halleck, dean of the Indiana Republicans in the house and a member of the powerful rules committee, spoke in favor of the bill and all the other Hoosiers voted for its passage. Republicans voting for it were Reps. Halleck, Grant, Gillie, Harness, Johnson, Landis and Wilson; Democrats were Reps. Schulte, Ludlow and Boehne. ! .“It is obvious that the primary responsibility for the determination that this legislation must be enacted is upon the commander-in-chief and his militdry. advisers,” Rep. Halleck said in his speech in the house. “The commander-in-chief and the military leaders are charged with responsibility of leading us in the waging of this terrible war.

Youths in War I

“I think it is also obvious that the primary responsibility for training these young boys who are to be brought into the service, and for their proper equipment, mentally and physically, for the service of their country is upon the com-manfer-in-chief and the military leaders of the-country. “They have assured us that they will observe the requirements of that responsibility and discharge their obligatieps to the nation, the people, and these boys in the manner we would want them discharged. “There are many men in this body. who were in the service of their country in the other war at the ages of 17, 18 or 19. We know what military service at this age means. Distasteful as it may be to us individually, there is nothing for this congress to do in the circumstances except to respond to the demands of the commander-ifi-chief and the requests and the statements of the military leaders who, of necessity, are in possession of information and facts that cannot be disclosed to all the rest of us.”

like. “I had the easiest day since.

I've been in the service.” And he’s been “in” almost three months. The top sergeant looked at the face of the pedometer. It registered 914 miles. “Not bad,” he mused. “Not bad at all!” : “Huh!” Pvt. Donenfeld sunk into the closest seat. “This army isn’t for ‘softies’,” he said out of hearing of the sergeant. “Look—" . Pvt. Donenfeld pointed out that on any other day he and. other soldiers walk twice as far, and even throw in a 15 or 20-mile road march in half a’ day.

To crowd in that routine the soldier gets up at 5:45 a. m., but he’s off duty at 4:30 p. m. Perhaps the “surprise” which came to Pvt. Donenfeld when he stepped off 9% miles on the “light” day resulted from his work before entering the army. He was merchandise manager in a large department store at Dayton and “did a*lot of walking.” “Walking is nothing new to me,”
