The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-05-29
| OCD:
Ready to Go

President Roosevelt was calling
on millions of Americans to enroll in
the civilian defense group, under the
banner of a new group of initials,
OCD, meaning the Office of Civilian
Defense. It was expected that
Mayor LaGuardia of New York
would lead the movement.
The plan was to line up men and
women all over the nation for all
sorts of duties from airplane spot
ting to watching for spies or sabo-
tage and even keeping an eye on
prices of commodities.
It is planned to build an organiza-
ton into which millions can be en-
rolled and trained.
The plan was borrowed whole
cloth from England, and has been
Britain's most successful organiza-
ton, aiding the British more than
any other one thing in keeping air
raid casualties down, and thus so
far stalemating Hitler's efforts to
knock Britain out of the war from
the air.
Also of immense value in Britain
has been the morale-building effect
of the civilian defense group, par
ticularly the ARP workers.

TANKS:
And Killers

Even as the first new tanks were
moving from assembly lines, the
army was concentrating on "tank-
killers" and studying several meth
DDS of combating the armored weap-
on.
Among these were tank-traps,
land-mines, posts, redoubts armed
heavily, and mobile artillery, includ-
ing, of course, tanks themselves.
And most army men were agreed
that tanks would prove the best tank
killers, and that modern armies
would engage in tank-building races
much like the navy-construction bat
ties that had been waged in previous
wars.
AS proof of this last contention,
they pointed to the rapid advance of
a superior equipped mechanical
British army against the Italians in
North Africa and that when the tank
predominance changed to favor the
Axis forces, the British were forced
to retreat faster than they had gone
ahesd.

DIES:
Showdown

Martin Dies, head of the commit
tee investigating unAmerican activi-
ties, announcing he was ready for a
showdown on the Communist situa-
ton as it affected men and women
on government payrolls was threat
ening an upheaval.
He claimed to have knowledge
that his previous report, which
earned him an official rebuke from
President Roosevelt, resulted in the
disbanding of one organization.
More interesting was his informa-
ton as to the holders of Soviet
bonds, Mr.. Dies asserting that ''fel-
low-travelers and innocents have had
three years in which to purge them
selves of associations with the Soviet
government, and if they haven't
done so by this time they have no
excuses"
Dies made the point that he con-
sidered the aims of Hitler and Stain
as one, and that if he were to show
that many persons employed in gov.
eminent service were owners Of Nazi
bonds, there would be public out
cry.

Where Anger Is a Crime

Returned to his home in Mont
real after IL years missionary
work in the Arctic, Father
Stephen Bazin says he had great
difficulty in explaining the war to
the Eskimos. They could not
imagine anyone angry enough to
fight. He told them the war start
ed because one people tried to
steal another's property.
''The Eskimos who, I believe,
are the most peace-loving, happi-
est people in the world, know now
that war is going on, though they
still think it is strange" he says
"By nature they are calm and
patient. Anger is a grave crime
with them. They spend hours
laughing and talking, and have
really no worries. There is no
such thing as a sad Eskimo"

NAZIS:
Creative Pause

Although fighting continued heaV-
lily in North Africa and seemed to
be stepping up on the Iraq front,
Berlin talked of creative pause"
which could be regarded as pre-
cursor of events of great magnitude.
Berlin claimed the turning point of
the war was at hand, and pointed to
diplomatic spearhead attacks in
France and the Near-East as the
type of thing referred to in the
pause"
AS Britain caught its breath for
few days after the terrific bomb
ing of London and other cities, casu-
atty lists were made up showing
that 86,312 citizens had been killed
or wounded by bombings since last
June.
Yet the two worst months were
September and October, not March
and April, as most had thought.
There were $4,000 casualties in the
fall months, and only $4,000 in
March and April. This showed a
better defense in shelters, as there
was no question but that the spring
raids had showed much more power
than those in the fall.
In the matter of losses at sea,
there was somewhat of drop dur
ing the month of April, and in early
May, one week showing only a loss
of SO, 900 tons, or at the rate of about
100000 tons month, as against pre-
vious months when the rate hoped
up to around $4,000.
This was in spite of the fact of
longer days and better weather for
submarines to operate in. Many be-
ieved the Raj. raids which held
the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau ap-
parently damaged at their docks in
Brest were responsible in great
measure for the fall-off in sinkings.
Reports from North Africa tended
to show the British army of the Nile
picking up somewhat in verve and
apparently in machines, though
some reports showed the supply of
tanks to be so low that the British
were arming trucks with cannon
and sending them out into the desert
in lieu of tanks.
Tanks were moving off American
assembly lines, but how many were
getting to Britain and especially to
the Near-East and North African
fronts remained a mystery.
There were increasing evidences
that the British and Nazis were 60
ing to hook up in big battle in the
Near-East, and perhaps this time on
somewhat more even terms.
Within day after the Nazi planes
moved into Iraq via Syrian air
dromes, a brief death notice in a
Berlin paper told of the loss of
young pilot named Won Blomberg,
son of the Field Marshal, also for
mer war minister, who was ousted
in 1888 when he married carpen-
ter's daughter.
It was not said where Won Blom-
berg died, but the British radio said
it had been determined that he was
one of the first casualties among the
Nazi fiiers to enter Iraq.
London did not try to minimize
the importance of the Near-East
flight, and official circles hkened it
in scope to the Battle of the Atlantic,
and stated that the British control
of the Near-East would be thor
oughly defended.
Word came through that Nazi in
fantry units were moving into Syria
through the Bosporus, and would be
sent to Iraq, undoubtedly well sup
ported by mechanical forces.
From the British viewpoint, the
stalemate in North Africa was a

DAKAR:
Il Problem

especially those with a nOn-lnterVen-
zionist tinge, were playing up con-
voys as leading issue, the Vichy
flop to the Nazi standard seemed
to bring far more sensational issues
than conveys to the public notice.
President Roosevelt Immediately,
when he learned that Petain had
! pledged France to a more complete
collaboration with Germany, and
that this might take military turn,
warned France that this country did
not consider this as a friendly atti-
tude, and this was followed up by
the announcement by Pan-American
republics that they would take over
French Guiana and Martinique if
there was any danger of their fall
ing under Nazi control.
This attitude was promptly re-
scented by French authorities, and a
slight diplomatic interchange fol-
lowed, apparently for the moment
quieting things down, though there
were Swiss reports that Ambassa-
dor Leahy would be recalled.
Then came the sudden news that
the French would give the Nazis the
use of their air and naval bases,
especially at Dakar. And Dakar,
small African port, but of mighty
import to the United States and
Britain, at once leaped into the CEN
ter of the spotlight as the major
problem.
Dakar was the very hop-of place
that President Roosevelt had men,
toned in the early days of the war
as the probable one that Germany
would use if an air invasion of the
New world was attempted.
1t was a clear call on the part of
the President for a fuller realization
by the public of the severely of the
present menace to the Western
hemisphere, yet talk of Dakar and
it's vital character brought storms
of protest from Observation-Disclosures.
The first effect of the Dakar in
cident was to change vitality the at
titude of some new" non-interven-
tionists, including Senator Reynolds
of North Carolina, who had whooped
it up against the lease-lend bill, and
now was being quoted as ''not in
favor of going into Dakar, but prob
ably favoring taking over Mar
Unique and French Guiana"
HESS:
Sinlmering
Hailed as one of the most terrific
news stories of all time, the Hess
fight to Britain simmered down
somewhat when it became known
that the German claim that he was
flying on a peace mission and had
a Messiah complex was at least
partially confirmed by the British.
However, even those who were
writing the most hotly anti-British
articles admitted that Germany's
nose was out of joint, and limited
that pause in cross-channel activi-
ties might be blamed on the Hess
flight, and one writer said it was
the worst blow the Nazi govern
ment had suffered in its history"
The discovery that Hess had paint
ed toenails and that he was at the
very least an odd fish caused the
British propagandists to moderate
somewhat, and they were treading
softly.
But they were teasing Germany
in every way they could, and the
results were beginning to show; for
Berlin admitted that seven radio lis
teners had been apprehended, and
that one had been executed, and all
of these cases had occurred after
Hess capture and after the BIC
had started 10 German-language
broadcasts daily on the subject of
Hess.

MEDIATION:
Bigger Stick

American industry, geared up to
its highest pitch in history, and real
izing, whether the public did or not,
that the call for 40 billions of dollars
worth of material was equivalent to
asking industry to work an Ameri-
can miracle, teetered along on the
brink of the cliff of labor troubles,
but without actually falling over.
1t was evident that somebody or
some agency, presumably the de-
tense mediation board, DR.. Dykstra
chieftain, was welding bigger
stick than the department of labor
conciliators ever did, and was WELD
ing it to some purpose.
Strike threats, not so much
strikes, became the order of the
day. The soft coal strike was halt
ed, then threatened to break out
again, but the mediators were ION
top" of the trouble and hoped to
queu it. The hard coal miners, 100,-
600 of them, threatened to walk out,
demanding more wages.
Nastiest threat of all was the Gen.
eral Motors strike, which had Knud-
sen of OPM up tree when he called
it the ''most dangerous. The c. l. O.
Automobile Workers group wanted a
10 per cent pay raise and closed
shop. The strike was set for one
morning, and three hours before it
was due to break 24-hour truce
was announced, and a couple OF
hours before it was expired the
strike was settled on basis of the
pay raise but no closed shop.
The Colts strike, tying up $50, 000,-
00C in machine-gun contracts, lasted
only a day. Tanks were moving off
assembly lines, 20-mm cannon for
airplanes were in mass production,
a 3,0O0-horsepower airplane motor
was said to be ''less than a year
away"
In every way it was apparent that
American industry was catching
the idea" that it was being called
upon for a supreme effort in which
the United States was challenging
the world, and was planning to show
the world that this country, supreme
in machines and machine tools,
could dominate the world in mill
tary affairs. "
But the public still Gallup-polled
79 per cent against active entry in
the war, and DR.. James B. Conant
of Harvard said America doesn't
know it's in a real emergency" Odd
thing about the poll was that nearly
the same per cent favored about
aid to Britain.

darkness and dew. In the morning
the grass appears dark as if it had
been scalded. AS soon as the sun
comes up, it shrivels and turns
brown. While bents are most liable
to the disease, it may attack other
types of grass.
Prevention of brown patch may to
some extent be practiced. Bents
should be fed and stimulated in the
spring and kept on low ration as
soon as the weather grows warm.

ALIENS:
Drive RenetUed

Following the roundup of hundreds
of German seamen in the United
States on charges of overstaying
their leave, the immigration depart
ment with the assistance of FIJI
agents renewed the drive against
aliens.
At the same time 438 Italian sea-
men, convicted of having attempted
sabotage of their ships just before
the U. S. took them over, were sent
into internment at Fort Missoula.

times in a week, and some cases
of British advances into Libya were
reported, though Axis sources al
ways claimed the British were
