The Naked Truth


BY BENJAMIN DeCASsEREs
MO GREATER tribute
~ has been paid to the
effective work of the
Dies committee investigating
un-American activities thar
the dismissal by the board OF
economic warfare of DIR. Mau.
rice Parmelee.
DIR. Parmelee was charged
by Chairman Martin Dies
with radical leanings and the
authorship of a book on
nudism that got into the
courts.
In reply to Chairman Dies
charges at the time they were
made Vice-President Wallace,
chairman of the board, said:
1T Investigation proves
these men (the men on the
board against iohom Chair
man Dies made charges of
comntunistic affiliations
ansuited for their jobs they
wiH be dismissed promptly.
If not, / erpect an apology
from Mr.. Dies for publicly
smearing the reputation Of
these men,"
/ Well, Mr.. Dies has NOT
'apologized, while the board
HAS ''fired" DIR. Parmelee
and forced the almost instant
resignation of C. Hartley
Grattan.
The inference here Is clear.
These men" who have been
so far investigated were
clearly "unsuited for their
jobs" to use Vice-President
Wallace's own words.
DIR. Parmelee, who was re-
moved from the board before
he had time to resign, issued
an astonishing statement In
which he says:
Nothing could be better
calculated to give the ma
ton the impression that the
board THAT is, the board of
economic Wdrfare) has be-
come the ACCOMPLTCE
of Dies"
Note the word ACCOM-
PLICE, which connotes COL
LUSION.
This reflects not only on
the honesty of Representative
Dies and his patriotic COM
mittee but also upon Vice
President Wallace and his
board.
There was of course no col
fusion and there were no sac
completes"
But there was PUBLICITY.
There was TRUTH. There
was EXPOSURE.
And that Is something
neither Hartley Grattan or
DIR. ParmeIee could stand.
And, 1t may be said, neither
could the mysterious board of
economic warfare stand the
publicity.
About the work of the lat
ter board, it now comes to
light that the work of DIR.
Parmelee as an economist"
consisted of drawing COM
parsons between the "eco-
nomic conditions" that pre-
vailed during the last war and
those that prevail during this
one.
Can you, Mr.. Taxpayer,
conceive of a more useless job
for which you are asked to
pay $1,000 a year?

BERG MENTIONED

Superintendent of Police Louis
L. Berg has been mentioned.
Some friends of the mayor have
suggested Hugh J. Ferry, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Pack
ard Motor Car Company, without
consulting Ferry.
Mayor Jeffries, however, refused
to say whether he intends to fol-
low the usual practice and appoint
a prominent citizen, or whether he
wants a man who has had expert
ence in police work.

Mayors Secret
Jeffries Selects New Police Commissioner; Won't
Tell Anybody Not Even the SeIee+ee

Only one man in the world
knows theI identity of Detroit's
next police commissioner and with
him it is not a guess-he KNOWS.
Resting his feet on the edge of
his desk and peering from between
his head-high knees, Mayor Ed
ward ]. Jeffries Jr. revealed that
he has made up his mind on a sue
cessor to Police Commissioner
Frank d. Eaman.
But he won't reveal the name.
ACCEPTANCE ONE HITCH
The one hitch might be that the
man he wants for the hot spot
may not accept. So carefully has
the young mayor guarded his
secret, he has not even discussed
the matter with the commissioner
elect.
He appeared confident, however,
that he will not be turned down.
This attitude seems to
strengthen a city hall rumor that
the next police head will be John
Witherspoon, chief assistant COR
poration counsel.
PREFERENCE INDICATED
1t is a foregone conclusion that
Witherspoon, loyal Jeffries fol-
lower. would not refuse the S10,-

1t is recalled, too, that Jeffries
has indicated in the past that he
would like to have an attorney in
the job.

or woman" Mayor Jeffries said.

made until disposition of the So
journer Truth matter.
commissioned Eaman's res
ignation Is undated and he does
not want to retire until this sit
uation is In hand"
Among the possible appointees
are John S. Bugas, head of the
FBI in Detroit. and Capt. Don S.
Leonard, who is in charge of the
Detroit area for the state police
and is civil defense admins

Shell-fire crippled the subma-
rine and killed the commander in
the coming tower after. a pursuit

up to the deck, their hands held
high, when seam-opening depth
charges were loosed, naval authori-
ties announced last night.
Rear Admiral L. w. Murray, flag
officer of the Newfoundland force,
said the fight was lone of the most
spirited actions of the war" De-
tails Of other engagements will be
withheld until it is certain they will
not help the enemy.
Lit. Comdr. j. H. Stubbs of Hall
fax, N. S., commander of the As
siniboine, said German shells dam
aged the fire control apparatus, but
the destroyer's guns raked the sub
marines deck, hit the coming tower
and pierced the bow.
The Canadian craft then rammed
the U-boat and released the depth
charges which later caused her to
sink.
by this time the Germans had
had enough" the commander said
They lined themselves along the
deck with their hands held high
They were all wearing their escape
apparatus"
Canadian casualties were one sea-
man killed and IA wounded.
White bread, butter and limitless
quantities of water for drinking and
bathing were treats for the captives
who appeared amazed that they
were not shot, members of the de-
stroyer crew said. The Germans
were quoted as saying they had
been told that Canadians did not
take prisoners.
They mad been at sea more than

Bod Luck for Pair

Two colored men who allegedly
tried to rob two youths by posing as

early this morning by an auxiliary
policeman who was not posing.

two would-be robbers when they fed
up the alley behind it.

clamor OF the chase and stepped out

youths, David Lewis of 927 O street

policemen. AS they searched the
boys pockets, Lewis decided thev

ing greater domestic demand for
meat, there has been rush to buy
the unfattened CATTLE" he declared.
Packers have bid so high for this
cattle that it is being sold at top
beef prices and there is no profit for
cattle feeders to induce them to
make purchases.
THE consequence is that cattle
that ordinarily would be fattened
this year and sold next is going di-
rectly to the market, imperiling next
years supply"
Washington grocers feared mean
while that serious shortage of
canned goods was likely to develop
from postponement until October

OF the promised adjustment in retail
and wholesale price ceilings.
Grocers are squeezed" on prices
Of many canned goods, particularly
vegetables. OPA has stated that re-
lief would be Forthcoming, but an
nounced yesterday that the new
schedules, which will mean higher
prices to the consumer, will not be
ready until early in October"
Dealers Well Stocked.
AS a result of the promised help,
wholesalers and some retailers have
stocked up with goods from this
years pack, but are holding the
products off the market pending new
ceiling prices. Grocers state they
cannot sell the 1912 pack at prices
prevailing last March, since the new
purchase prices reflect increased
costs of uncontrolled farm products
and labor.
Meanwhile. OPA was reported in
vestigating complaints that meat
dealers in number of sections
were making compulsory "combina-
ton deals" in meats with customers
For example, it was explained, If
the customer desires to buy a pound
OF bacon he is required to purchase
a pound of sausage in addition in
order to get it.
Retailers are said to have told
OPA that they have made deals in
this way because wholesalers have
forced the same proposition on
them. Officials warned that such
forced combination deals are espe-
cially serious in view of the meat
shortage. They warn the transac-
tions are against the law, and that
dealers who make them are not only
likely to lose their licenses to do
business. but face civil and criminal
court action ~ well.

We started this war with a good

SoIomons Back Crews Claims
laps Are Our Toughest Foes
Mackenzie Predicts Mojor Allied Drive
Will Strike at Heart Of Empire

What then is the basic strategy
which will give best results? Let's
get at 1t this way:
The heart of Nippon's strength, In
all categories. lies in the homeland
Japan proper. There are her
arsenals. her manpower, her imam
cial resources-in short. those sin
ews which make her the power she
is. Now all this Is contained within
an area Of 148,756 square miles
about the size of Montana. And
the borders aren't protected by
other territories, but only by the
sea.
Strength Localized.
So the strength OF this pr1ml-
tive Samson Is localized. We don't
have to overrun q territory the size
OF say Australia-a mighty task for
any nation-to do our stint. We
don't have to reconquer all the
Japanese conquests as q prelimi-
nary. Our primary task Is to cut
Samsons locks, whereupon his big
body will lose It's power.
Therefore I believe that when
the major Allied offensive against
the japanese gets under way, 1t
will strike primarily at the heart Of
the empire-Japan proper-rather
than start at the circumference
with the idea Of reclaiming the
hodge-podge Of Nipponese con-
quests piecemeal In order to reach
the homeland.
The main Allied objective is, or
so assume, to fight in Japan
proper. We shall approach this op-
Grafton by first bombing hell out
of that neatly arranged concen-
tration of resources. We shall pull
verize the islands industries and
transportation system and what
not, until finally we are ready to
put an army ashore for the kill.
Once Japan proper is conquered.
the rest of the ill-gotten empire will
succumb. That doesn't mean there
won't be much fighting outside
Japan. There will be. and it's 60
ing on right now. But our main
task will be done when we have just
about wiped the Mikados kingdom
of the map.

Senator Clark 10 Ask
Legislative Curb
AGAINST Petri|Io
FEC Chairman Fly Says
Recordings Bon Hits at
Heart of Broodcustino

A move for legislation to deal
with the ban on music recordings
for broadcasts by James C. Pc
trillo, president of the American
Federation of Musicians, was in
prospect today as the result of
testimony before a Senate Inter
state Commerce Subcommittee.
Following the statement of Chair
man James L. Fly of the Federal
Communications Commission that
the union restrictions struck "at the
heart of broadcasting, Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Idaho indicated
. he would seek legislative curb on
such Immoral practice"
Testifying yesterday, Chairman
Fly agreed with Elmer Davis, di-
rector of the Office of War Infor-
nation, that radio was vital as a
wartime medium of communication
and he added that the withholding
of canned" music threatened to
dry up" most of the programs of
the non-network stations and seri-
-ously affect the network stations.
. Although the Government has an
antitrust suit pending against Mr..
Petrillo in Chicago, where he lives,
Chairman Fly and Senator Clark
agreed that in such litigation "the
mills of the gods grind slowly"
> The FEC lacks adequate authority
to deal with the situation, Chair
man Fly said, and he thought it
was "up to Congress to do it." He
added that he was not prepared
to recommend legislation but would
work on it and give the committee
his suggestions.
