CALL FOR AN
ALL-OUT EFFORT
(London Daily Herald)

lIond0n Daily l1efald)
We must return to the mood which in
snired every section of the community in
the weeks after Dunkerque We must
launch an immense new speed-up of our
war organization.
The spearhead of our effort should
be the rapid building of new factories
for the production of tanks, airplanes,
guns and equipment of all kinds. We
must accelerate the conversion of lux
ury" factories to war purposes. And,
simultaneously. we must insure that the
best possible use Is made of the manpoWer
employed in the war industries.
Wemust tolerate no longer those faults
of management, those lags and hltchlng
caused by defective coordination or by
the obstinacy of vested interests, which
have delayed our progress hitherto.
The government, which has led us so
courageously and so skillfully through
the perils of the past year, can count
absolutely on the eager good will OF the
people for the intensified task which
now confronts us.
The nation has endured pain and peril
without flinching But we bring to this
war more than courage and CONVICTION
of the justice of our cause We bring to
it an energy, an ingenuity, wealth OF
resources against which-if they are used
to the utmost-no dictatorship or alliance
of relationships can hope to survive. Hit
ler's doom will date from the hour when
those resources are fully engaged.

SOMEBODY HAD
A TOUCH OF HEAT

81 haven't seen anything in your paper
about all the heat prostratlons out at
Camp Seeley," friend remarked the
other day What are you dolng-sup-
pressing the news -
Heat prostrations? At Camp Seeley2Y
The answer must have sounded bit
stunned, not 10 say flabbergasted. 'Ne
haven't heard of them.
"Well, everybody else has. our friend
said. Half the men and lot OF the
horses out there are down with the heat,
| hear.
Now, that was news if il was true. But,
out of long experience, newspaper people
have learned that a lot of the things you
hear at second hand, on the street cor
ners and in the drug stores, aren true.
So a reporter called the 18th Cavalry
camp Here's what the camp reported:
There have been no heat prostrations.
either among men or horses. There has
been no more than normal complaint on
account of the heat The cavalrymen
from the standpoint of the rumor mon
gers-are disgustingly healthy bunch,
And, what's more, they're lot more
loyal to their camp than lot OF city foIkS
are to their city. Said an officer:
Sure, II S not out mere: pu' II , NJ,
as hot as it is in town. You'd be surprised
at how comfortable we are.
But, to get back to the heat prostrations
that didn't exist They are good exam
ple-one of the best examples yet-of
how false story can grow to glsantlc
proportions out of nothing at all, or out
of the flimsiest beginning.
Soldiers like to grumble (as who does
n't?), and currently the heat provides the
best toehold for grumbling. Probably
some civilian overheard the grousing,
misunderstood it or dressed it up to suit
himself, and passed it on. Once started,
the story continued to grow, until even
its author wouldn't have recognized it.
So, next time you hear that heat has
blitzed the 18th Cavalry, wait for confir-
nation before you send lilies. The boys
might prefer a ping-pon set.

REVOLUTION IN EUROPE?

The British "V-for-Victory" propagan-
da campaign in the Nazi-occupied coun-
tries of Europe, and the more immediate
call for actual revolt against Hitler
throughout all of Europe, including Ger
many, is intensely significant in relation
to its background.
Until now, diplomats and reporters re-
turning from continental Europe to the
United States have reported that Brit
ish agents on the continent actually were
trying to PREVENT demonstrations
against Hitler, because they believed the
time was not yet ripe. The time for such
demonstrations, some observers believed,
would come when Britain was ready to
seize the initiative.
Now, instead Of holding the "Democra-
tic fifth column in check, Britain is en-
couraging it to act, and TO act at once.
Why? Two alternatives seem TO present
themselves:
l. Britain is ready 10 take the offens-
i've and carry the war to Hitler; or,
2. Britain's hand has been forced by
the invasion of Russia; she is calling for
European revolution prematurely IN or
der to harass the Nazis and so help Rus
sia out of desperate predicament.
The alternatives point to two possibil
tiles: Germany is farther gone than we
realize. and ready for the beginning of
a final blow, or Russia is farther gone
than we realize, and needs saving from
a final blow.
Only time will tell which, if either,
possibility is nearest the truth.

REPEATING AN OLD LAW
{ Santa Ana Register)

(Santa Ana Register)
Back in 1917 and 1918, when troop
trains roared into California stations
with bands playing, flags flying and
crowds of homefolks cheering, the boys
got warm welcome But in winter
weather, they usually arrived half-frozen,
bundled up in sweaters and overcoats.
having crossed California's snowy noun
tain ranges in unheated passenger coach
es, with the temperature lower than
buck privates salary.
The boys literally got cold feet-and
colds in the head-not due to any neglect
on the part Of the railroads, but simply
because there was an archaic law on the
statute books which provided that pas
senger cars had to be in the rear of
freight cars and could not be run ahead
under any circumstances, even II the
army and navy got double pneumonia.
Passenger cars are heated and otherwise
serviced by the locomotive, but freight
cars, loaded with army equipment, sep
arated the troops from their only chance
to get warm.
1t is pleasing to note that the legisla-
ture (Which happens to include host of
A.E.F. veterans) is now taking steps to
repeal that old law, enacted in the days
of wooden coaches back in 1877, and
plans to put the coaches up ahead of the
freight cars, so that the troops and heat
ing system can get together. But why
didn't somebody think of that back in
1917? It would have averted a lot of
sniffling and cussing.

The Inside Track in Washington

WASHINGTON, July q - The
seven-man Federal communications
Commission, bossed by anti-monop-
olist James Lawrence Fly, has shown
an electricians penchant this year
for sticking its collective hand into
transformers labeled dangerous
and will do standing broad jump
into another coil of live wires.
July % it opens hearings to de
termine the extent to which news
papers will be permitted to own or
control radio stations licensed to
operate under the new FM-fre-
quency modulation system of
broadcaSting and reception which
largely eliminates static, fading and
some of the other nuisances of the
standard methods now in general
use.
FEC has Just completed sur
yey of newspaper participation in
broadcasting. The results won't be
announced until the hearings get
going, but to get its data, the COM
mission sent big long questionnaires
to the nearly 900 radio broadcast
ing stations now licensed Instead
of asking newspapers how they
were tied up with, and how they
handled radio and radio news, the
radio stations were asked how they
were handled by the newspapers.
TEN WORKERS.
In brief, what the radio stations
were asked specifically was: /
List of all the local and out-of-
town newspapers in the radio area.
2-Whether newspapers charged
radio stations for printing programs.
3-Relations between newspaper ad-
vertising and radio advertising de-
partments, including information on
rates charged one medium by the
other for space or time. 4-Rela-
tions between newspaper and radio
puDllIlly anu Ei OAilOAAoi4e1i oStAHA-
ties, and how these are paid for.
5-Full information on news broad
casts used by the radio stations.
6-Station methods of obtaining To-
cal news How news broadcasts
are edited and sponsored. 8-Name
of every person working for the
radio station who is in any way
connected with newspaper, and
what his duties are. Cuisines
connections between radio station
and newspaper managements ON
matters of policy.
The broad nature of this inquiry
and the detail of the information
requested, down to the names of
individual employees mixed up in
both radio and newspaper, give the
tipoff to what the rec is looking
for. Apparently it fears that your
favorite newspaper or any other
newspaper will get some kind of
nefarious control over all the meth
ods of news dissemination in the
community, and thereby work
against the public interest.
While the commission insists that
its forthcoming hearings are to be
unbiased, and solely with the view
of determining what its future pol
icies should be in granting radio
station licenses to newspapers, the
fact remains that its policy in the
past has been to give preference
and to grant radio station licenses
to non newspaper organizations
whenever newspaper and a non
newspaper company have both been
applicants for permits in the same
territory.
Licenses already granted to news
paper-oWned or controlled sta
tions are not to be disturbed. the
commission declares, but as station
licenses are granted for only one
year periods, a change in policy
could mean that as licenses ex-
