 Even as the gray-clad Nazi col umns raced toward the ports of Toulon and Marseille, other Axis troops are declared to have been landed by parachute from trans port planes over Tunisia.
 A test of the speedily consoli- dated American forces in Algeria and Morocco now seems imminent. Invalidate Armistice

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert g. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON-O year ago. the Hartman Mission came back from Moscow to report that Rus sia sorely needed oil equipment to set up new refineries behind the Ural Mountains. Even if Rus sia did not lose the Caucasus, the Hartman Mission said, her pipe lines would be cut off and the Red armies would be completely paralyzed unless they got oil.
 The Hartman Mission made this report in October, 1941. It is now November, 1942. Yet for 12 long months little happened. The story is too long to tell here. In spots it is disgraceful. But finally the President, Secretaries Morgenthau and Ickes got steamed up over the paper pushing which had been going on under their noses. They ordered oil refining equipment to Russia immediately.
 The other day, hard working Emory Brennerman, in the WIPES Foreign Division, found bunch of papers pertaining to oil equip ment for Russia Much to his amazement, the papers had not been okayed by the Treasurys Pro- curement Division. The file was voluminous. Memos had been writ ten by all sorts of people, but noth- ing had happened. The oil equip ment simply was not moving.

of the old Dominion where first our forefathers erected their hum ble homesteads. Here, in honored glory, rests in his tomb, the Un- known Soldier of the World War. Beside him on these gentle slopes mediate in their eternal dreams the men of other wars. Yes, the Unknown Soldier, who might have been one of my comrades is envi- ably enshrined in marble near the Capitol of our nation. And states men and generals and dignitaries of this and foreign lands bear him official wreaths and orations. But before that, the Unknown Soldier, lousy and soul battered, went over the top, and stopped 8 shell. The chances are he didn't die at once. He probably lay there for hours, on a dark, silent and muddy battle field, calling on Jesus to put him out of his agony and let him die.
 But I cannot believe they died
 in vain,
 My comrades, long forgetful of
 their pain,
 Deep in the poppied fields
 where they were slain"
 "The records of the Unknown Soldiers life and his accomplish ments are lost forever But we need only to know that he served his country to the final and su- preme degree of his ability. The Unknown Soldier builded better than he knew. He left us nation which is today the hope of the people of all the world who cry for freedom. He left us with our freedoms intact. He left us the magnificent strength and the un- troubled will to do all that we can to remove human slavery and tor ture from the world. He left us the inspiration to preserve this na- tion at all cost. From his eternal resting place, the Unknown Soldier cries out to us to end this war as quickly and as decisively as pos sible and to establish everlasting peace among mankind. For the Unknown Soldier not only died
