Dressings Needed

Surgical dressings are always
needed. To help in this. many
unit members have taken the
special course required by the
Red Cross for surgical dressing
workers.
These women are on constant
call When an S O S goes out
for surgical dressings, they drop
what they are doing and speed
10 Red Cross headquarters TO
prepare them.
It's something that can't wait,
nor does it have 10 as far as
these workers are concerned.
One OF the big jobs the Red
Cross has is clothing refugee
children.
But this unit Is equal to the
task.
Every Friday sees its MEM

. More Hull Dividends

Accompanying Raymond Clapper's col
umn today were some pertinent obserxa-
tons on how the policies of Secretary Hull
are collecting dividends. Just now he OBJ
serves further vindication Of the Hull
policy coming from Dakar, Martinique and
Tunisia, mot that any vidication was
needed except among a small minority in
this country more interested in theological
purity of its own brand than in winning
the war;" That is sharp statement but
fully justified by the facts.
From Algiers, where he is serving as
high commissioner for French Africa I'M
der the American military authorities,
Admiral Darlan announces that Dakar
with its neighboring territory has now
come over. If this is officially confirmed
by Eisenhower, it means that West Africa
and the important base and ships have
been won without firing a shot or risking
an American life.
II would have been impossible for the
Allied expeditionary forces to leave Moroc-
co and Algeria lightly protected and race
on to meet the Axis in Tunisia-where
they arrived not minute too soon with
out active support of Darlan opportunists
commanding the FrenNh. In Tunisia,
French forces so far have borne the heav-
lest part of the fighting against the Axis.
If now the Allies had TO turn aside from
concentration on Central Mediterranean
fronts to fight for Dakar in their rear, the
delay might be disastrous.
Meanwhile, the state department an
nounces it has new defense agreement
with the former Vichy authorities of Mar
tinque, which will make unnecessary
American occupation of that and other
French territories in the Western Hemis-
phere. The alternative would have been to
tie up extra American soldiers.

The Tacoma Times Editorial and Feature Pages :
. The Gas Ration Issue

Gas rationing. no matter how long de-
feared. or on what basis, is bound TO be an
irritation.
Ask almost any driver with an "a
sticker on his car and he will tell you that
it's one of those things that ought not TO
be done in democracy.
Needing appeals from their consti-
tuents approximately hundred members
of congress are making a demand for
ninety days delay-a delay resisted by
Rubber Director LETTERS.
II is not surprising that LETTERS should
oppose delay. As president of the Union
Pacific railroad he greatly improved the
system by getting things done and not
putting off until tomorrow something that
should be done today.
The San Francisco Chronicle, repre-
senting a constituency in which there is
just as much protest against gas rationing
as there is anywhere on the coast, agrees
with Mr.. LETTERS. To put off the day OF
reckoning, says the Chronicle. is merely
TO add one more item to the CHASTITY record
of delay that is responsible for most of our
trouble.
The Chronicle points out that obedience
was delayed on the order TO Jesse Jones
to build up 1000, 000-ton stockpile for
emergency This left nothing but syn
thetic rubber to hope for.
Starting synthetic production was de-
layed while alcohol, oil, agricultural in
terests, government departments, bureau
brass hats and trust busters wrangled
about who, what, where and why. That
left US nothing but the rubber on American
wheels.
The belief is expressed that immediate
reasonable economy would have made that
rubber bridge the gap comfortably until
the other delays were repaired. But con-
flict, confusion. politics, selfishness and
personal ambition or thirst for limelight
delayed action. For months America kept
using rubber extravagantly, trusting to
miracles.
Then Bernard Baruch, ''the voice of
experience" from World War No. /, and
his committee reported the stark facts.
letters was named to act. He ordered
harsh rationing to forestall harsher. Either
he is quite mad. there is rubber to burn
and LETTERS should be dismissed and let
America go joyriding, or LETTERS is right.
II he is right, there is no comfort in being
wrong a little longer and maybe get a
base of two instead of four gallons.
Looking at the situation from a point
close to large gasoline producing area
the Chronicle believes LETTERS is painfully
right"

. HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, NOV. 20

This is not an important day in
planetary direction, but a strong
benefic aspect dominates.
Heart and home: Under this
configuration special attention is
directed to the aged to whom rev.
erence is paid. Events have proved
that the recent years in which
youth held sway have been marked
by the results of wrong thinking
and careless planning for the fu-
ture.
Business affairs: High wages in
war industrial plants will arouse
much apprehension in farming
communities where competition
for workers in fields and factories
will cause serious agricultural diff
ficulties. Need for increased pro-
duction of food now will present
grave problems.
National issues: Union policies
affecting canned" music will
arouse such wide protest by the
first of the new year that differ
ences will be settled to the advan-
tage of the public. Controversies
bring about education that is most
valuable, astrologers declare, and
they read in the stars victory
wherever human rights are in any
way threatened.
Internati onal affairs: Wise
training of our American troops
will count in all battles on foreign
soil. Demonstrators of ability as
well as heroism will be numerous
next month when winter hazards
add to the difficulties at sea, on
land and in the air. Unity OF
command will be stressed.
