Let's Not Flinch in Pinch

When, 16 months ago, America faced the problem of arming itself and arming other peoples resisting aggression, it was frankly stated that this would mean sacrifice It was pretty much just word, and everybody nodded gravely and said a mental "yes". Now the time is here when the pinch is actually being felt. It isn't word any more. It is reality. And 1t hurts.
 There isn't enough of certain materials, aluminium, copper, steel, rubber. The defense plants must come first. Only what remains after their needs are met is available to plants making non-defense items. That won't always be true. Factl- ities for producing more aluminium, for instance are on the way But at present there is a shortage. That means, and will mean, real hardship. It means men out of jobs in the midst of humming activity. It means dark shops whose cus- toners want goods which can't be turned out because the material has gone for guns. It means salesmen with nothing to sell It may mean ruin for manufac- turers whose plants can't be adapted to defense uses quickly It means, in short, hardship and privation sacrifice. Fur ther 1t means sacrifice that falls harder on some than on others.
 There is only one thing to do. It is to equalize these burdens just as much as human ingenuity can equalize them. It is to revise the priority system, as Direc- tor Nelson is already trying to do, so that those entitled to materials will be sure of getting them. It is to insist on subcon- tracting to the extreme limit of practica- bility. It is to spread defense work (and civilian work that does not interfere with it) as widely as possible. It is to make sure that sacrifices of jobs and businesses sacrifices, but only when the utmost dili- gence and intelligence cannot find way Eo avoid them. American ingenuity, American resourcefulness, American steadfastness are going to be put on trial this winter We must not finch in the pinch.

Saving the Scrap

It is estimated that there Is an average of 30 pounds of scrap metals of various kinds scattered through each family's back yard, barn yard or basement. Time may come in the near future when the old game of treasure hunt" can be turned into profitable pastime. Foreseeing this possibility, Buick Motor Division of General Motors Corporation has been working on the Franklinism that penny saved is a penny earned. During 1940 the salvage operations of this unit were perfected to a point where 244,000000 pounds of "waste" materials mostly metals, were retrieved and returned to useful purposes.
 Particularly has this been true In the conservation of strategic metals which are vital to our national defense. Salvage methods which have been applied to aluminium, lead, zinc, copper, tin, anti mony and nickel have been so perfected that 100 per cent efficiency has been at- tained useless reduction. Almost equal efficiency has been effected in all other non-perishable materials. This work entails and intricate inter-plant collection system which has been worked out with an eye to making the final sorting of var ious reclaimed materials as simple as possible. This sorting work is done in Specially constructed main salvage build ing which also serves the purpose of re- ducing scrap to handling sizes.
 Some idea of the magnitude of this operation may be gained from the fact that 280 carloads and 65 truck loads of salvage are shipped monthly to outside plants for reclamation in addition to the volume reclaimed in Buick's own foundry Scrap ranges from huge drop forge bases weighing several tons each which may become cracked or otherwise defective to steel filings and cardboard cartons. Bales ef scrap sheet metal from the Buick stamping divisions last year totaled over 45,000,000 pounds. Sheet metal clippings totaled 27,000,000 pounds, cast iron bor- ings accounted for an additional 34,500,- 900 pounds and short "Shoveling" steel turnings for 36,000,000 pounds more. All of these were reclaimable.
 There were eight different classified tions of aluminium salvage ranging from culled pistons and electric furnace dress to piston borings. These totaled 545O00 pounds which is lot of aluminium. An unusual item was the 1900 pounds of solder drippings saved during last years operations. While the United States has large natural resources so far as alumt- mum and some other items are concerned he growing demand for these metals Mow in order to speed defense operations NMm most readily he met by conserving

Shakespeare in Camp

What do you suppose is the favorite reading of the boys at Fort Sheridan? Juicy Stories? Torrid Tales, Statistic Stories? The Massacre Monthly? Not at all. It's the plays of William Shakes peare. We have that on the authority of The Sheridan, camp paper.
 That's rather an interesting sidelight both on the men of the new Army and on Shakespeare. The men are cross-sec- tion of America; Shakespeare is one of the most widely read authors wherever English is read; why shouldn't he be popular at campp But this, too; There is a popular idea that Shakespeare and other classics are dead stuff. Children are forced to read them in school and then never look at them again as long as they live. But nobody forces these Army men to read Shakespeare or any other classic. They read him just because he is Good Stuff, which is, after all, the best of all possible reasons.

StrenmIinins the Army

Army changes to make the service more flexible and able to adjust itself to mod ern conditions in the field have been com ing fast these days. For instance, Ma tional Guard officers may now be trans ferred to any duty anywhere in the Army. It was formerly the policy to keep them with their original units.
 Further, Army commanders may now reassign any officer under their com mand without reference to the War De- partment. That cuts out red tape, and 1t would seem reasonable that a man judged competent to command an army should be competent to shift his offi- cerS about without Altering the change through some bureaucratic mill in Wash ington. These, with the constant weed- ing out of officers who have not shown up well in maneuverS, are some assurance that the Army is being brought in tune with the military times.

The all important topic today, next to, shall we get into the war, and what's the matter with Lindbergh, seems to be, can we afford the luxuries The luxury tax has been hanging over us for some time but great many refused to take the idea seriously. Now that they discover they will have to pay for luxuries, such cos metics, automobiles, fur coats, and so on, they will think twice before indulging in the so-called luxuries: But 1t Is safe to say those who have indulged in the lux uries will continue to do so. The typical American wants what he Cor she) wants when he wants 1t. The luxury topic, or we should say, the tax on luxury topic, IS a very popular one, has been since early this week and will continue while the buying public pays and pays until 1t hurts. Eventually, however, we in this country will discover that we may have to give up great deal in the line oi comforts and luxuries. Other countries have had to sacrifice much, and we may yet find ourselves in the same boat.

On the Constructive Side

Francis Riddle, the new attorney gen. eral takes office headed in the right di- rection, and with a record behind him which suggests momentum already es- tablished in that direction. The most important job of the attorney general, he said, in times like these, is to protect civil liberties This constructive view of federal office as guardian and custodian of liberties rather than mere prosecutor of offenses, is heartening.
 The United States is entering into a period when there will be strong ten dencies to restrict and even to destroy civil liberties. An attorney general de- termined to uphold them is one hopeful factor in their preservation. Another is equal determination on the part of the people themselves to use, but no to abuse them.

The towns in which the two armies operated hotly took sidts and cele- brated or despaired as the tide of war fluctuated.
 But locally the real heroes were the "Cantun" soldiers. They were the pride and glory of the "Canian" country and stories abounded about them, One re- galed with great relish throughout the Third Army, which brides 1t. self on It's military discipline, was about 6 young "Cajun" recruit who failed to salute his colonel. The colonel stopped him and said, "How long have you been in the army?"
 1.-TWO months," was the pleasant answer, land you"
 COCK O THE WALK
 WITH THE SECOND ARMY Cock O the walk of this mans army are the men of the ar1nored forces. Husky, hard as the ar. nor of their clanking machines, deeply tanned and dashing, they combine the swagger of the old cavalry, the breezy recklessness of the airmen, and the pile-driver forcefulness of the heavy artillery.
 Wherever they appear, in camp, In maneuvers or in town, the armored men dominate the scene.
 The way they stand, the way they walk, the way they carry themselves even when loungtng, sets them off in Q class by them selves. There has never been 6 morale problem among the ar. mored men. Their morale is . sky high and the model for the rest of the army.
 "YOO-H0o" NO MORE
 Contrary to general belief, the men of the Second Army do not refer to General Ben Lear as "YOo- -hoO." It iS either "the Gen. eral" or "the old man..
 This is significant because it shows the genuine steen in which he Is held by the men he coin- mands.
 A tall, rugged old cavalryman, the commander of the Second Army Is . man of unusual phy- sEcal vlgOr and declslveness. He may make mistakes, but they arc not those of inaction. Also, there is no guile or "sOft-Soap" about him.
 He says what he thinks frankly and directly. Everyone under him knows wheer he stands. There is no politics in the Second Army. Lear also can see Q joke on him. The hullabaloo over the "Yoo- hoo" incident startled him, but he talks about it genially and is very proud of the manly way the sol diers took their disciplining.
 Lears great passion is sol" dierIiness, the essence of which
 he considers to be discipline. To him an army without sound discipline is . mob; an army that has it one of the finest creations of man. As commander of the Second Army all his ef- forts are bent toward making 1t that kind of am army. His forte
 is definitely the training of troops.

U. s. A. and c very inspiring one. 1t is patriotic, high-spirited, 1t and eager to learn.
 Throughout the big Louisiana war games the men of the Third Army, in heat and downpour, over gruelling swamp and woodland, displayed Q spirit of scrappy ag. sressiyeness and tenacity that kept their enemy (Second Arny) cons stantly on the defensive. From reconnaissance patrols to Army Corps, every unit of the Third was full of fight and deternlira" ton to win.
 Some of the feats of this new Army, still a fledgling force learI1- ing the arts of war, were remark" able. For example:
 In the first two days of the first phase of the maneuvers the 43rd, 37th and 38 Divisions of the Natolnal Guardsmen marched over 50 miles and then went inn- medlately into combat. This is an outstanding military per. formance and on a par with the best displayed by crack German infantry, which underwent training for seven years. It graphically demonstrates the sue perb physical fitness and esprit of these citizen soldiers.
 Another example was the ex- traordinary feat of the 1st Cav- airy Division fording the Sabine river at night with all It's heavy motor and artillery equipment (4o0 vehicles) to bounce early in the morning on the unsuspecting west flank of the enemy and cap- ture large part of It's gas sup- plies. To cross this treacher. ous stream the doughty Division had to haul over 7-ton trucks and i56-caliber guns weighing 4,Soo poupnds,

be derived from the novel. But 1t teaches the even more significant truth that we cannot control evil, once we have given in to 1t. Jekyll believed that he could play with his evil nature and when he wanted to close the door on 1t and forget about 1t, he could do so. But the evil nature that he had first con- jured up with drugs would come back upon him spontaneously to drive him to deeds of violence.
 If we take an easy attitude tow- ard the evil in our natures, 1t is not long before this evil is taking a hard attitude toward us. The nervous system quickly responds to the law of habit. Jekyll accustomed himself, over a considerable period of time to being MT. Hyde and liked the experience no end. But when the time came that he wanted to be through wath Hyde, Hyde would not be through with him. The story is the grsiesome tale of how the evil in a mans nature with which he dallled, at laak took possession of him and destroyed his better aeia.

S excellency, William

His excellency, William Cardinal O'Connell of the archdiocese of Boston, is the subject of the major article in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post. New Englands venerable church man is pictured by the writer in words and camera studies, his career, accomp- lishments, and life as an individual in the Boston area. Few men have had fuller life in the administering of an archdio- cese as has the Cardinal. He ranks as an outstanding American as well as church man who has wasted precious few mo- ments in long busy life.

The Third Army has all the elements of Q great combat force in the finest American tradition. Tt isn't that yet, but it is well on the way. It still has . lot to learn, from buck private to commanding general.
 But what distinguishes the men of the Third is their will to learn, their aggressiveness and pride as citizen soldiers.
 NOTE = As Is the case in the other citizen armies, chief de- ficiency of the Third Army is the lack of small unit (platoon and company training. This IS pri- marily due to inexperienced non- commissioner and company Of" ficers.
 1.-THE OLD MAN"
 Principal credit for the excel- fence of the Third is due Lieut.. General Walter Krueger, comman- CT, and his crack staff of assist ants.
 Slender, of middle height and ircisive, Krueger rose from the ranks and is a militant practi- tioner of the Stonewall Jackson dictum of surprise, mystlfy and misIead the enemy" During the war games 1t was his troops who three times attempted the daring stroke of capturing the opposing commanding general and did suc- ceed in killing" his chief of staff.
 Although very much . man of action and constantly on the go, Krueger also is Q scholar. He speaks four languages, iS an alert student of foreign military techniques and modern methods. When well over fifty he took Q
 flying course at Brooks field and travels almost entirely by plane. Krueger was long known In the army as one of its top or. ganixers and executives; In the Louisiana war games he also demonstrated that he is 6 very able and forceful field general.
 One of the best indications of his high caliber is the crack staff with which he has surrounded himself. It is without peer in the U. 6. Army and has some of the best tactical brains of the army.
 Chief among these younger aces is Colonel Dwight Eisenhower, chief of staff, who conceived and directed the strategy that routed the Second Army. Eisenhower has a steel-trap mind plus un- usual physical vigor. To him the military profession Is 8 science and he began watching and study ing the German army five years ago.
 Eisenhower's deputy chief of staff is another crack Army Braintruster. He is Lieut.. Colonel Al Gruenther, leading bridge ace of the Army and a shing star of the General staff until Krueger wangled him for his staff. Bott Eisenhower and Gruenther are destined for bigger things in the Army. They are men to watch, with Major General R. o. Rich- ardson, commander of Second Army's 8th Army Corps, and one of the most brilliant field gen. erals of the service.
 NOTE = Richardson, Elsenhow- CT and Gruenther are of that rare military species, regular army of- ficers who can think in terms of the civilian and the citizen sol- dier.
 "CANJUN" SOLDIER
 The historic Arcadian ("Cajun") section of Louisiana in and about which the var games took place was 6 never ending source of inc terest to the thousands of cite zen soldiers.
 The local people were extremely friendly and hospitabls and were as intrigued with the soldiers as thny were with them. Practically esl doors WnFa 0pen ard Che tNIo weeks cf Nz2neuVe1s #SFo 4es IlNl1N |E.1Sz 8 Ek9

 Most of the former are too green to know what 1t is all about and the latter too old to learn. Be- ing young, eager to learn and bright, most of the ''shavetalIs'' can be taught. Some Of the gen. erals will be replaced by young- CT and more adaptable officers.

AUTUMN PHILOSOPHY

.sighle Kennedy in the New York Sun) Twenty autumns have seen
 Dispose of summers hoard Although the tree dissembled,
 Although the plant deplored. March can web the veiny leaf;
 May can spin the flower; Put the cold October culls
 The thrift of every hour. Then prodigal of today I'll be,
 And spendthrift of tomorrow, That when winter calls on me,
 may drop life laughingly, Leaving naught behind but husks Of loneliness and sorrow.
