Navy Smashes Jap
Fleet in SoIomons
To Reduce Threat

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-UPD-
A cocrdinated attack by a Navy
carrier task force and Army bomb
ers from Australia which smashed
10 vessels of a mapping japanese
fleet in the Solomon islands was
believed TO day to have eased the
threat TO American positions in that
area.
The Navy announced in a COM
munique last night that its task
force, taking advantage Of "unfa-
Vorable weather. inflicted such a
surprise on the japanese last Mon
day that our task force suffered
no loss of personnel or planes and
no damage TO any ship"
DAMAGE SEVERE
The communique listed five Jap
anese ships damaged by the car
rier task force, two strafed in the
harbor at Shorthand island, eight
planes destroyed and an airfield
damaged. A communique earlier in
the week from Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's headquarters in Australia
listed five other enemy ships dam
aged and acknowledged loss of one
allied plane in the joint attack.

Nazi Propaganda
Plays Up Defense

LONDON. Oct 9.-CUPD-Ger-
many, after announcing a cessation
of frontal attacks on Stalingrad,
said today that the situation on the
central front-the vital front west
of MoScow-had changed almost
overnight from a war OF movement
to war of position.
This implied that, after chang
ing its attack tactics at Stalingrad
Ito avoid unnecessary shedding OF
German blood" the situation on the
Moscow front had suddenly become
one in which prime attention was
being paid to static defensive war
fare.
The German announcements were
in direct contrast to Russian COM
muniques and front dispatches
which said that the Germans were
attacking with intensified fury at
Stalingrad, throwing their men by
thousands into the Red army meat
grinder, and that they were attack
ing with tanks and infantry on the
Moscow front and were on the Of
fenSive also at Leningrad.
TRUTH HIDDEN
Whatever their truth or purport,
allied quarters hailed the German
announcements regarding Stain
grad as an implicit admission that
Adolf Hitler had failed to make
good his meiquivocal promise to
take the city by storm
Military quarters believed that
the admissions might portend Ell
ther a desperate German offensive
III another direction or a gigantic
swing of forces to the west to fore
stall the opening of second front.
The German admissions We're
echoed by an Italian statement in
the weekly Fascist publication

expect Italian forces to control the

WE THOUGHT THAT WAS
ALL OVER, Mr.. PRESIDENT

Dear Mr. President: When you came
back from seeing the country, and re-
marked what the newspapers and column
lists have been saying all along-that
public opinion is ten jumps and skip
ahead of official Washington - we
thought we read into your statement an
implication that the war was going to
take precedence over politics from here
on.
Then Thursday a couple of your top
notch executives made us wonder wheth
er we hadn't been doing a little bit OF
wishful thinking. These fellows weren't
the kind of minor officials whom you
recently advised to keep quiet Next to
you, both of them are tops in their line.
And, besides, what they said was said
before a congressional committee, and
when your executives go before congress
sional committees to talk about what kind
of laws should be enacted, they generally
speak your own official mind, or at least
they're not in disagreement with it.
Well, these fellows said few things
which sounded very pretty, until we got
to thinking about it.
They were Donald NJ Nelson, War Pro
duction board chief, and Manpower Dir
ector Paul " McNutt.
What they said was that we've just
about got TO have a selective service law
for labor, if we're going to be able to
muster enough manpower in the right
places to keep the machines behind the
war machine going. Only, they added,
they don't want to enforce the law after
it is passed-they just want it around
so they can use it as a threat IN case
laborers get stubborn and won't go where
they're asked to go.
The word they used was voluntary
control of manpower.
Now, Mr. President, that seems bit
queer TO us: enacting a law we don't
want to use, except as a sort of psychol
ogical club. Suppose we'd tried that
with the army's selective service law, how
far do you think we'd have gotten by
telling the boys they'd better join up or
the draft would be enforced?
We had hoped that you folks in Wash
ington were through with halfway meas
ureS.

CONVOYS THE ANSWER
(Kansas City Starr

War risk insurance rates on cargoes
carried by American vessels recently have
been reduced for the first time since Ger
many stepped up her submarine cam
paign against Allied shipping in the At
lantic several months ago. The premiums
are still high. But the mere fact that
recent developments Justify any cut IN
premiums is welcome news.
The action of the marine underwriters
implies that there has been an appre-
ciable decline in sinkings along certain
sea lanes. And it scarcely requires
Sherlock Holmes to link this informa-
tion with the announcement that the
United States Navy has now extended its
convoy system to the east coastal waters
and the Caribbean
1t is essential, however, to guard
against the assumption that enemy raid
ing operations have been, or are soon to
be, brought under control. The modern
undersea craft are more heavily built,
are faster and have much longer cruis-
ing radius than their predecessors.
All this means that it takes more war
ships for convoy duty, and there are still
vast stretches of the Middle and South
Atlantic in which no escort can be pro-
Vidpd
Imperial Valley press., 1942-10-09
OF COURSE, THE
REASON is PLAIN

We had hoped, too, Mr. President, that
you folks in Washington were willing to
forget politics and favorites in these
things that touch upon the war effort.
That is one of the things which makes it
hard to understand why your administra-
tion insists upon having a selective ser
vice law for labor, but insists with even
greater fervor that it doesn't want to
enforce the law in compulsory way
We understand, naturally, that there
are considerations which have not been
fully developed in public discussion, and
that one of the chiefest of these consider
ations is the problem of how you're going
to draft labor into the war industries
without making the labor unions give up
the right to exact tribute from every
man who gets a war production job.
Politically, we know, you don't want
to step on the unions toes, and again
politically, you can't very we'll afford to
force millions of Americans into the la
Dor unions as part Of being drafted by
the government to do war production
work.
1t is plain to see that your lieutenants
have hit upon the idea of psychological
compulsion to obtain necessary war labor
while at the same time they can turn
around to the public later and argue,
1--WE didn't force these people to join the
labor unionS-they went to work volun-
tarily in the closed shop war industries.
and if union membership was a part of
the requirement, well-we didn't force
them to take the jobs"
It's neat bit of lodging Mr. Presi-
dent, but it's still halfway measure,
any way you look at it.

QUARTERS, Australia, Oct. g.
UPD-Allied planes have opened
an ffensive in the long quiet north

today.
After weeks of concentrating on
enemy forces in New Guinea and
the key bases there and in the Sol

the Tanimbar islands, and KOepang,
in the Netherlands part of Timor

principal island of the Tanimbar

enemy transport at the dock with
results which their crews could
not see because of clouds.
While the HudSonS attacked the

bombers bombed an enemy vessel
at Koepang, GOO miles west south

CHANGE IN TACTICS
A long series of German state
ments. broadcast by official ra-
dios, explaining what implied the
abandonment of the frontal assault
on Stalingrad which had taken un-
told thousands of German lives, was
climaxed early today by the Ber-
lin broadcast of the Transocean
agencys routine military report
from the eastern front.
German tactics of beating down
remaining Soviet strongholds in the
northern sector of Stalingrad city
have experienced a certain change
by the employment of heavier and
heaviest caliber German artillery
in town fighting in that sector of
the eastern 'front.' it said.
ITO avoid unnecessary sacrifice of
German blood, innumerable new
batteries of heavy German artillery
are now blowing the last centers of
Soviet resistance to pieces before
German infantrymen and engineers
take possession of them.
"MOPPING-UP PROCESS"
This somewhat slower but SyS-
tematic procedure is also reflect
ed by official German reports on
mopping up operations in Stain
grad, which prefer not TO give any
premature announcement Cf the
complete cleaning up of the city
unless this has been fully accom-
pliShed.
THE time when this announce
ment may finally be made has not
the slightest influence on military
events since the strategic objective
of the German offensive, namely
the Volga, was reached weeks ago
That initiative is still firmly in the
hands of German military leader

in the remaining sectors of the
eastern front is reflected by Ger

WORK-OR-FIGHT
STRIKE SOLUTION
Wichita Beacon)

The most effective solution of this ma
TONS strike problem has been offered in
the action Of Brig. Gen. Harold H. Rich
ardSon, Colorado director of selectiVe SER
vice. when he informed men engaged in
Colorados metal and lumber production
that if they left their jobs they would be
drafted
Here is action that is recommended to
selective service officials in those eastern
States where few disgruntled workers
spread disaffection throughout large
plants where production is vital in the
Nations war effort A nationwide adop
tion of this order would serve to elimi-
nate the strike problem almost overnight.
There is no valid reason under the sun
why men should be drafted into the arm
ed forces and without consulting their
personal wishes in any way, ordered to
any place and any task where the mill
tary leaders deem their services needed,
when other men are permitted to stay at
home and handicap those men on the fir
ing line by their refusal to produce the
equipment necessary for victory.

flatly contradicted Nazi assertions
that ground warfare has been

and added that the Na2is were at

The movement of Russian rein
