PETITION FOR S $50
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
The bill known as HR OATS which
really embodies Sec. of S $50 has
become a law with the signature of
President Roosevelt on July II. This
section dealt with prohibition of
legalized prostitution within army
camp areas and had been recon-
mended by the Secretaries of the
Army and Navy.
In order that we may more COM
pleteIy defend our defenders, we
must continue to petition our Senators
for the passage of S $50, bill to
prohibit the sale of beer and liquor
in army camps and camp areas. The
action of HR PATS will be definitely
limited because of beer in the camps
and beer and other liquors in camp
areas.
The distinguished DR.. Ray Lyman
Wilbur says: "There is a direct re-
lationship between the increasing use
of liquor and the amount of venereal
disease in the United States" Other
scientists and doctors verify this
statement.
All interested individuals an d
groups should Immediately petition
our Senators, Jos. Ball and Henrik
Shipstead, Senate Office Bldg, Wash
ington, D. G.

Our HOne-Line
Defense

Speaking from the viewpoint
of the common man, the John
Doe" of America, o. N. Thoma-
son of Willernie, challenges the
politicians and lawmakers as to
their plans for the future Sc
curity of this country and the
world. While acknowledging the
Importance Of front-line defense,
he stresses the paramount issue
of home-line defense as the one
great method for abolishing war
fare between nations.
Mr.. Thomason's interesting ar
ticle, entitled "Our Home-Line
Defense, follows:
Dear Politician: We rejoice in your
alertness to some of the dangers, an6
potential dangers, that threaten oul
We want you to know we

opolized land, and at the same time
be prepared.

over to the NaZiS. Naturally, such
incidents arouse righteous Indignation
but l do not think that we are in a
position to criticize in this particular
instance.
Under the MIRA a small battery
manufacturer in Pennsylvania was
arrested for violating the code which
fixed prices of batteries; in New Jer-
sey a dry cleaner was arrested for
cleaning and pressing suits for 35c
where the code had fixed the price
at soc. Then there was the famous
chicken case in New York which was
taken to the Supreme Court where
the National Recovery Act was de-
clared unconstitutional.
Today American farmers must turn
over to the Secretary of Agriculture
all surplus wheat raised in excess of
their quota, or pay penalty of 49c
per bushel. 1t is also decreed that
none of such surplus grain may be
fed to livestock or poultry.
Personally 1 cannot see very much
difference between the Germans &C
ton in Norway and the New Deals
program in this country except that
the Germans give longer sentences.

There are those who strain at

be able to defend itself against Jap
anese aggression? And, a further
question: Will and can Japan attack
Australia?
To date there are no other indi-
cations of that possibility than Au-
stralian signs of nervousness.
The Road to Thailand.
The Tokyo government has in no
way shown or announced that it is
prepared to make any new move of
importance in the near future, but
it is, of course, possible-possible,
also, because of the pressure which
nazi Germany exerts on her Far
Eastern ally.
Japanese occupation of French
Indo-China has been accomplished
without a great deal of trouble ex-
cept that it deepened the estrange-
ment between the United States and
Japan. There is now fear that
the Nipponese may move into Thai
land-formerly known as Siam, and
that explains the feverish activities
of the cabinet at Bangkok, where
the situation is considered grave.
Moscow-thousands of miles away
from Bangkok-is perturbed at the
possibility that Japan may attack
Siberia, and thus harass the Soviet
troops in Asia while Germany is
menacing those in Europe.
Closer to Goals.
And Moscow's worries are not
groundless, for the bulletins of the
last few days concerning the war
between Russia and Germany have
been not altogether unfavorable to
the nazi aggressors. It is still true
that information from both sides is
so confusing and misleading that it is
difficult to arrive at any correct
conception of what goes on, but GER
tain details seem to make it look
plausible that the Germans this week
were trying very hard, and not who'll
ly unsuccessfully, to make up for
wasted time in former weeks.
There were signs pointing
toward a German approach to
Leningrad in the north and Kiev
in the south, and there was no
denial that the Germans were
closer to Moscow than at any
former time. This does not ne
cessarily mean that Hitler will
be able to capture these inn
pOrtant cities, but it does mean
that their security is jeopardized.
On the other hand, expert OBJ
servers in the field believe that
the Russians have maSsed huge
reserves Immediately around
these three key points, and that
the Germans, in the final analy-
sis, may find it pretty hard to
break through these lines.
Almost everything that comes out
of Russia must be closely scrutin-
lied, and often without positive re-
suits. But one thing that needs no
support of dispatches is the unde-
MED fact that Hitler's attack on the
Soviets has been slowed up so eff
fectively that it has been complete
ly thrown off schedule. Further de-
lays may be disastrous to him, for
and that may be of decisive i'm
portance-the farther off the end
ing of this particular battle is, the
more adequate help Russia will have
time to receive in the form of sup
plies from the United States and
Great Britain.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The
Cardinals have suffered enough
injuries this season to wreck an
ordinary team, but with re-
serves like fleet-footed JOHNNY
Hoop, the Cardinals aren't an
ordinary team.
One baseball authority saws
that If you had to pick the most
valuable player on the Cardinals
right now, you've have to give a
lot Of consideration to the %
year-old rookie. That's how inn
portant he has been in the teams
peflnant drive.
When Johnny Mize was hurt
sHopp came off the bench and
filled in at first bases SO senga-
tionally that permanent place
in the lineup had to be found for
him. He moved to the outfield
when Mia recovered.

Hopp originally was an out
fielder and great prospect I'M
til he developed a sore arm in
1898. Branch Hickey, viie-presi-
dent OF the Cardinals, likes to ex-
pertinent with players and he
switched Hopp to first base. 1t
was an experiment that worked.

AS you move your hands to-
ward the arrnpits, draw up your
legs, bending your knees side
ways. Your legs viii form,
roughly, a diamond shaped fig

straighten your legs. Now both
legs are straight and extended
outward.
Bring legs together with

your arms down toward your
sides. Put as much force as
you can into it. You'll fairly
sail through the water.
Be sure fingers are together and
hands. are slightly cupped. When
moving arms and legs into posi-

knees come above the surface

Governor Bitter,
Refuses 10 Talk
About Strike
BY FRANK MORRIS

BN fhANh mOhhls
Burned up by strike develop
ments. Gov. Murray D. Van Wag-
oner was so angry today he
talk
He stormed into his suite at the
Hotel at l a. m. and for
the first time since his in
confined a press re-
lease to a single sentence. 1t
read:
THE UAM-CIO and the Ford
Motor Company have agreed TO /,
mediate and / expect and insist
that they keep that agreement
and end this strike"
His lips were tight and his eyes
were flashing when he handed
that statement TO the newspaper
men, who have gathered here from
all parts of the nation His
obvious bitterness was far more
significant than the statement.
HALT OFFICE WORKERS
Van Wagner was not a party
to yesterdays events. He vanished
yesterday morning, apparently
turning negotiations over TO Fed
eral Conciliator James F. Dewey,
and he was missing until all dis
cussions had ended for the night.
His customary jovial smile re-
turned only for one fieeting
moment. Asked where he had
been, he grinned:
"Tve been making myself
available"
The governors troubles started
in the morning when the Go
picketed the Ford administration
building and halted office workers.
Under the agreement, these en-
ployes. together with plant main
tenance men, were to be allowed
to enter.
Reaching union officials by tele-
phone, Van Wagner screamed so
loudly his voice carried through
the corridors of the hotel. The
pickets were withdrawn.
when Ford representatives
failed to appear at II a. m. for
as they had promised,
the governor grabbed his hat and
coat and went flying out of the
building.
When he returned ID hours
later, he obviously was upset by
the company's action in obtaining
a federal injunction against the
strikers But he gritted his teeth
and refused to talk.
NO COMMENT
as this action a violation of
the company's agreement to me-
date ?" he was asked.
"No comment" the governor
replied
Unlike former governor Frank
Murphy, whose woes included the
General Motors and Chrysler
strikes. Van Wagner desires to
remain apart from actual negotia-
tons.
His plan is to bring the COM
pany officials and the union repre-
sentatives together and then alb
sent himself from the discussions.
He will be available for consulta-
ton. but he will not be in the same
suite with negotiators, as was
Governor Murphy during the hec-
tic strike settlement of 1887.
Van Wagoners theory IS that
the federal and state conciliators
should do the umpiring, while he
remains on the sidelines, maintain
ing law and order and waiting to
serve in the conference room only
when called.
The election Monday contributes
to the governors distress. He does
not want TO offend the Go, for
the Democratic Party needs the
support of union labor, and eX-
poets to have it.
At the same time, he does not
want to antagonize outstate voters
who are opposed to the Go.
1t is a ticklish situation, but
Van Wagner has told his aides
he has only one -course-just and
fair treatment 10 both sides,
