Household Article Curb
BEGUN as Defense Move
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government program of re-
ducing the number of models of
household articles in order to release
more machines and materials for
defense production was started yes
terday with efforts to work out a
sinplifcation program for refrig-
orators.
The program will seek to conserve
materials needed in defense and re-
duce overhead and labor costs by
eliminating unnecessary accessories
and cutting down on the number
of models each refrigerator manu-
facturer turns out.
A committee of the American
Standards Association conferred on
the program with manufacturers
and representatives of the Office OF
Price Administration.
Miss Harriet Elliott, head of the
Consumer Division of the price ad-
ministration, requested the stand
ards association to work on plans
for simplification of refrigerators
and also for washing machines, elec-
trio irons and some textiles.
Donald M. Nelson, executive di-
rector of the Supply Priorities and
ALLEGATIONS Board, has said that the
simpnfcation plans will be extended
soon to many lines of consumer
goods.
Simpliflcation should not inter-
fere with competitive business or
advertising if it is properly carried
out, Mr.. Nelson said.

down in the Pacific there might
likewise be strong reasons for avoid
ing direct conflict in the Atlantic.
But Japan is now confronted by so
Overwhelming a coalition OF hostile
powers that it is questionable
whether Pacific war would not be
short, decisive and altogether
against Germany's interests as tend
ing to release very powerful forces
for operations elsewhere.
Under these conditions, the Ger
man high command may now be
faced with decisions something like
those of the opening months of
1917, Can Germany, by an all-out
effort, win the war in Europe before
the United States can bring enough
military power to bear against Ger
many to insure Germany'S defeat?
Decision of Desperation.
Certainly every day that passes
adds something to the total of
American weapons in British hands.
The more this power grows, the less
the Germans chances. The tide of
battle sways back and forth in
Russia without any decision, appar-
emily, in sight; each day takes its
toll of German weapon power and
man power.
1t is conceivable that Germany
may decide that the time has come
for a showdown with Great Britain.
and attempt to deprive her Amer
lean and British foes of the island
base from which alone the mounting
strength of American arms may be
used against her. That may seem
to be decision of desperation; but
we do not know how near despera-
ton the Nazi high command may
really be.
1t is, of course, far too early to

The noise, nothing concocted in
sound effect studio, was the real
thing, recorded during one of Lon
don's worst raids last year.
Screaming sirens in sinking and
rising wall filled the vault with
onlinous notes. Presently "Bangl
Bang! Bang" went the guns. The
drone of bombers was heard over
head.
The sounds swelled in the dark
vault. The guns kept banging.
Then big bombs burst. The guns
kept up. More bombs. Then the
crackle of flames Next changing
fire engines added their noise, the
other sounds continuing.
The eXperimenters, fearing lest
they try their subjects too hard,
softened the sounds momentarily to
see how the people were standing
the realistic reproduction.
No one was crying out. A flash
light swung around the room, re-
vealing drawn faces and frightened
eyes. But no one was sWooning.

WHERE GERMANS SAY SUB n

ping losses of Great Britain to be
so materially reduced at a time
when the shipbuilding program of
America is beginning to come into
its stride.
No Easy Course for Germans.
Should the total available tom
mage in the Atlantic begin to rise,
more and more ships will be avail
able not only for supply but for
military purposes; the shipping
bottleneck" which has restrained
the development of British action
in every part of the world will be-
gin to widen, with incalculable con-
sequences for Germany.
The Germans have, however, no
easy way out of this situation. They
can increase the scale of their bomb
ing attacks, of course. by easing
their air pressure on Russia. They
can try to intensity their bombing
and submarine attacks on shipping,
but they have as yet shown no sign
of having developed any answer to
the problem of long-range shore
based fighter. If they go outside
fighter range they come into the
area of the American patrols. For
the Germans, then, basically the
Atlantic problem is now one of
whether it is or is not to their ad-
vantage to start a shooting war with
the United States Navy.
This is question to be most
carefully weighed. AS long as there
was any hope of great immediate
victory over Russia, to be followed
by peace offensive, direct fight
with the United States was cer-
tainly to be avoided at all costs. But
that bright dream appears to be
fading out.
As long as there was hope that
the United States might get begged

Greer Case Linked to Nozi Crisis in Atlantic
BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.

The existing situation in the
North Atlantic was bound to give
rise to such incidents as ti:at be-
tween the U. S. S. Greer and
German submarine. AS pointed out
recently in these articles, the Ger
mans must now, faced as they ap-
pear to be with winter campaign
IN Russia and with possibilities of
a peace offensive fading, he giving
careful consideration to the posi-
ton in the Atlantic
They must, in particular, be ask
ing themselves whether they can
find any effective means of stopping
the flow of American war materials
in increasing quantity to Great
Britain. Unless they can do so, it
seems certain that by spring there
will be in Great Britain an offen-
slve air force superior to anything
Germany possesses, particularly in
view of her Russian commitments,
and that from Great Britain this
force will be striking with ever in
creasing power and range at Ger
man heavy industry and internal
communications
This can hardly fail to result in
serious damage to Germany'S war
making ability through mounting
losses of material and loss of morale
by the German people and in in
creasing by leaps and bounds the
hopes and, therefore, the will to re-
sist of the captive peoples of the
European continent.
Conveys Arriving Regularly.
Likewise it seems certain that in
creased arrivals of tanks, armored
cars, artillery, machine guns and
ammunition will enable the British
to collect striking force with
which the continent may actually
be invaded, if the Russian cam
paign continues to drain Germany's
strength. Such invasion, begin
ming perhaps with raids on a COM
paratively small scale, might later
on be carried to more ambitious
lengthS-such, for example, as an
attempt to Wrest the peninsula of
Brittany with its vitality important
naval and air bases, from Germany
hands.
At present North Atlantic convoys
are arriving in British ports with
comfortable regularity. Protection
is given by American patrols as far
as Iceland: beyond that. the British
operate with great efficiency, being
close to their home bases and with
In the radius of action of their
short based fighter aviation. More
over, the Luftwaffe being preoccu-
pied with Russia, there have been
within the past few months almost
no bombing attacks on docks, ship
yards, ships in harbor, coastWise
shipping, warehouses and railways,
all of which affect the handling and
distribution of goods from overseas. |
This whole situation must now be
re-eXamined by the German high
command on the basis of a longer
war than they had, perhaps, eX-
pected. They must not only ask
themselves whether they can afford
to allow great offensive ornaments
to be built up in the island of Great !
Britain, giving them real two
front war; they must also consider |
whether they can permit the ship !

LONDON, Sept. 6-Workers,
children and bomb shocked neu-
rotics were led into dark and cold
tomb like vaults in London today
and, in one of the most horrible
experiments of the war, were eX-
posed to an artificial blitz bombing
calculated to be just as terrifying as
the real thing.
Air raid precaution officials and
physicians conducted the expert
ment with a view to preparing
Britons for things to come in a fall
and winter which government lead
ers have predicted will bring Ger
man raids perhaps worse than those
Of last year.
Wide-eyed, expecting anything,
the subjects Of the test huddled to-
gether as they were led underground.
Some clutched the hands of others.
A switch was turned, and there be-
gan a terrible sound-the raw re-
production of afraid noises.

Can't Handle Mail
of 100000 Troops

BY the Associated Press.
The tiny hamlet Of Ragley,
La. population 25), will be
home this month to 100000
soldiers of the 3rd Army.
The War Department said to-
day that during current ma
neuvers in Louisiana all mail
for Bird Army troops should be
addressed to Ragley.
But since its post Office will
be unable to handle the cor
respondence, all Army mail ad-
dressed to the village actually
will be dispatched to Lake
Charles, at which point Army
oficials will take over distribu-
ton.
