Three enemy columns under Nazi
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel had
rumbled ITO miles across the EgyD-

the vital British base at Marsa
Matruh, where major battle may
already be in progress.
One of Rommels columns follow

another followed the desert rail-
road from the Libyan border to
points west and southwest OF Mat

A third column under Rommel S

 Since then, some of those around the White House have kept their ear closer to the ground regarding the public groundswell, and here are some of the reasons they have re- ported for the unexpected Repub- lican swing.
 | Public resentment against any party or Administration which stays in office too long.
 2 Lack of confidence in the war news, due to scanty and long de- layed announcements by the Navy People feel they aren't getting the truth about the war and believe losses are much worse than they are told
 3, Disgust with inefficiency and bungling in Washington. People are ready and willing to make any sac rifices, but not if they feel money is being wasted wantonly in high places.

GONE FAR ENOUGH

The information policy of the Alaska Defense Command has surpassed the extremes of censorship and has entered the realms of stupidity. It has re- suited in creating suspicion among Alaskans and all Americans concerning the ability of the armed forces in Alaska to repulse the Japs and is making the military public relations officers in the Terri tory the laughing stock of the country
 Alaskans know about how the is pro- gressng in practically every front in the entire world than they do about their homeland
 Quite frankly, believe that this dogmatic silence has gone past the breaking point and is working for the enemy in demoralizing Alaskans, helping to make them lackadasical about the war effort in Alaska, injurng all forms of civilian de- tense activities, creating feeling of ill will.
 Aaskans know less about the Alaska Defense Command and what is is doing than they do about the British in Africa the Australians in New Guinea the Chinese in China, the Russians in Rus sia, the Japs all fronts and the Germans and Italians their fronts.
 Yes, and they know less about what is going on in Alaska than the people in the States because many of the magazines and other publications which publish revealing articles about what is going in Alaska do not reach all points in the Territory thoroughly as Alaskan newspapers do. And it is no secret that the bundering barrier of short-sighed backward-leanng censorship has opened the path for rowing writers who travel through the Territory meet the commanders all they want to and then go outside to write their articles which approved by more sensible public relations officers in the States
 This creates an unduly unfair burden Alaskan newspapers and press association correspondents We are growing weary of being shown fine articles on Alaskas war activities in Outside publications by
