Will Eleanor Repay? ... .15 .65 $7.00 . .40 $4.00 Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1943. Prime Minister Winston Churchill made his long-- est and his most confident war report yesterday. He definitely promised a real "second front" in addition to the "third front" in Italy. Further, he pledged that there would be a mass invasion of enemy territory in western Europe. At last we are clear on the "second front" question. There was r.o reservation or equivocation in Mr. Churchill's speech on that . : score. And, from the way that the Prime Minister Spoke, we may expect the "second front" and the "mass invasion" before1 long. Of interest almost as great as the announcement of the second front was the statement that there would be a conference between Stalin of Russia, Roosevelt of the United States and Churchill of Britain. That announcement settles a lot of doubt as to --just what was the standing between Russia, United States and Britain in regard to the prosecution of the war. Mr. Churchill rightfully suggested that, if Russia, United States and Great Britain do not pull together, there will be confusion after the war as . well as before it is over. Churchill's speeches are always factual, reassuring and realistic. Thifc was no exception. In the dark days Churchill spoke out plainly and told us the truth. He has never been overoptimistic or wishfully - thinking. He has given us the truth and the facts even when they were unpleasant and seeming almost p- insuperably difficult. Now all that is chanced. The j war is not over yet, it is not even won, but Churchill j is confident and happy. Why should we not be too? j The tide is now turned. It is only for us now to j speed the victory and that will not be done by resting j on our oars. Another employment control measure is announced ' by the federal minister of labor one that has, the effect of "freezing" men in the higher priority occupations. Employers have to have permission of the authorities to let men go from these priority occu pations and men have to have permission to ouit. , Of course, like the horse that was led to the water, a man may be frozen to his job but it is difficult to 4( I make him work his best if he is not willing.. . The new employment order follows on the an nouncement a few days ago of the army reorganization.

News editors will call the congressional appearance of Madame Chiang Kai-shek one of the top stories of the year. Everywhere she went she was greeted with enthusiasm, winning many friends for her homeland.. In that mission she was taking a page from the ubiquitous Eleanor, wife of the President. At the moment we are writing this we have not heard whereto Eleanor is bound but it could be for Chungking and a repayment of the visit, couldn't it? And if so, one may be sure she brings glad tidings to the patient, neroic L-ninese people. I .- We want you to . . .

Again the Amerl- I cans could do nothing with Cry- mble's smoke delivery whether they swung for the fence or whether they bunted themselves crazy as they did last night. To the credit of the Yank infield, and outfield, too it must be ntated that they played errorless ball throughout the se;ies. but they couldn't get those lonr hits when they counted most. It was a ease of good fielding but no hitting. In their half of the lirst In-nir?, Flyers put together two doubles and passed ball to get hit, raeed to third on a passed ball and galloped home on Bennes' long hoist to the same spot. The Yanks, stirred slightly in the third. Ketchmark popped to Blore but Kuntz hit through short for his team's first hit of the game. He was advanced to second when Ramcy bunted in front of the plate for a cheap base hit. With one down, and two on, Thompson fouled out to Volsky, and Southworth took a third strike without moving his bat. The fourth was a scene of the Fryers' second tally. Bennes got a charity and went -all the way to third on Ciymble's sacrifice and Blore's infield out' Volsky then punched the pilJ over second, permitting Benes to cart home the second iom. The colorful Yanks' added an almost Hollywood finish to the set-to. In their last time at bat. Wagner, first man up, got a free issue, and tok second on pinch-hitter Skorby's. Infield tap. The game began to take ori a different aspect when Wagner pilfered third, and Ketchmark walked after Katurski's pop-up. ; there were two gone and run- ; ers on first and third when destiny in the person of pitcher Kuntz, who represented the winning run, came in to slug on his teammates behalf, but the- best he could do, though, was to bounce out, third to first, and thus send the Port Ec"'wai"d Americans into softball limbo for the season.
