THIS
WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
N EW YORK.—Being deaf, and
naturally shrewd and alert, lit
tle Ismet Inonu, president of Turkey
developed various sensitivities to
_ .. . - such an ex-
Preaident Inonu tent that he
Of Turkey ‘Mon soon became
With Antennae? known not
only as a lip-
reader, but a mind-reader. It was
inevitable that he should become an
excellent dead-pan poker player and
be a wary and knowing participant in
international politics in his neighbor
hood. “You’d think the man had an
tennae,” a correspondent who had
interviewed him told me several
years ago. “It is almost spooky the
way he seeems to feel out everything
around him.”
Perhaps, making his frank ad
dress before the national assem
bly, he has a hole card which
the juggernaut powers hadn’t
figured on. At any rate, he is
bold and explicit about Turkey’s
determination to stick to her al
liance with Great Britain, and
proclaims that “The bonds of
alliance which unite us to her
are solid and unbreakable.”
Those who have played poker with
the man, ingratiating little fighter
and diplomat say that when he bets
’em he has ’em—all kibitzers gloom
ily shaking their heads, however,
as they figure the Axis hand.
It was as Ishmet Pasha that he
made his career, changing his name
in line with Kemal Ataturk’s mod
ernization program. A colonel in
the Turkish army, he made a peril
ous passage through hostile lines in
1920, and joined Kemal Ataturk.
Jointly, in less than two years, they
drove the / Greeks out of Anatolia
and Smyrna and in the following
years built modern Turkey. He was
mysteriously benched during Kemal
Ataturk’s last year, but appeared
at the helm, with power and prestige
unlessened at the latter’s death.
For the last two years, Ger
many’s clever and resourceful
Von Papen has been attending
to political and diplomatic sabo
tage in Turkey. The word has
been that the astute President
Inonu has always been a jump
or two ahead of him and that
Turkey hasn’t been readied for
the kill in the manner of other
small powers. The president has
fostered carefully the Turkish
hegemony over the Moslem bloc,
• and whenever the Axis powers
kick Islam in the face, his peo
ple know about it. His alliance
gives England a valuable liai
son with Islam, which may be
come more and more important
as the war wears on.
T RAINING for the next war won’t
be just one-two, one-two and
squads right or left. As Maj. Gen.
William N. Haskell, commander of
„ *• l n t New York’s
Gen. Haskell for Twenty . se v-
Strictest Discipline enth division
Of Army Recruits at Fort Mc
Clellan, Ala.,
starts his mobilization program, he
lets it be known that recruits will
be schooled in all the new tactics
and disciplines of modern soldier
ing. War today requires more and
better specialists and tighter organi
zation, to which the war depart
ment adds, “military discipline,
health, strength and endurance, mo
rale, initiative .and adaptability,
leadership, teamwork, technical
proficiency and tactical proficiency.”
Big, bluff, ruddy, iron-jawed
General Haskell, appointed to
the command of the New York
National Guard by Gov. Alfred
E. Smith in 1926, is a West
Pointer who has preached stiff
discipline and long yelled for
more and better fighting tools
for the army. Out of West Point
in 1901, he was graduated from
the infantry school in 1904 and
saw service in the Philippine
islands, the Mexican border,
France, the Near East and Rus
sia, directing American relief in
Russia from 1921 to 1923. He
- has been an alert student of the
new requirements of mechanized
warfare — no traditionalist or
mossback and by all accounts
will go far in bringing the boys
up to the above ambitious war
department standard.
I N THE groping for more fruitful
cultural relations with South
America, Nelson A. Rockefeller
seems to have made a shrewd
choice in adding to his committee
Don Francisco, president of the
Lord and Thomas Advertising Agen
cy. The aptness of the name is
obvious. For 23 years, Mr. Fran
cisco contributed to the successful
cultural and commercial relations
of Los Angeles by booming oranges
and the orange industry. Good-look
ing and personable, he “makes
friends and influences people.”
Election Night Crowd in Times Square
New York’s Great White Way was the scene of election night excitement as great crowds jammed Times
square to read the latest bulletins in the thrilling presi dential race. (Inset, left) Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
first President ever elected to a third term. (Inset, right) the newly elected vice president, Henry Wallace, former
secretary of agriculture.
New Recruits for Uncle Sam’s Army
A raw batch of new recruits are pictured as they arrived at Fort Devens, at Ayer, Mass., ready to go
through the routine*that will turn them out as soldiers of the line within a few months. There are 3,400 sol
diers and 100 officers housed at present at Devens. Meanwhile more than 3,000 artisans are working night
and day to complete the first of 27 new barracks to accommodate the 1940 batch of draftees. Each building
will house 63 men.
* The Old Folks ‘At Home’ in London
Christened
This aged couple spend the air raids in the de luxe shelter constructed
in the basement of their Westminster borough home in London. The
bunks upon which they rest were installed by the Westminster council
which is providing them for all private shelters, to enable the populace
to obtain their proper rest and curb “air raid nerves.”

As London’s Children Are Evacuated
British captions with these pictures describe them as “another large
party of mothers and children being evacuated to the country from
London.” At the left a child in a policewoman’s arms shows her be
wilderment at the excitement. Right: a youngster with an identifica
tion tag around her neek is being carried to a waiting bus by a policeman.

bassador to the U. S., who deliv
ered to Secretary Cordell Hull tho
reply of Marshal Fetain to Presi
dent Roosevelt’s appeal that thg ,
Vichy regime abstain from collabo- i
rating with Germany in thj wa?.
Both presidential candidates car
ried their own home voting districts.
Roosevelt received a majority of 74
votes to win, 376 to 302; Willkie’s
native town gave him a margin of
i 438 votes. The count was Willkie,
4,151; Roosevelt, 3,713.

Post-election celebration kept

In order to record the electoral
vote the 531 presidential electors
will gather oq December 16 in their
various state capitals and send theii
votes to Washington by registered
mail. These letters will actually be
tabulated by Congress on January 6
and President Roosevelt will be
sworn in for his third term on Janu
ary 20. Members of the electoral
college used to get a trip to Wash
ington but in 1934, congress decided
that its duties were too routine and
turned it into a “correspondence
school.”
