POSTWAR HARVEST

The Germans, as never before III their
own warlike history, are laying the very
foundation upon which will be erected a
prison of fear in which they, themselves,
will be the inmates.
The terrorism executions among the
peoples of the Nazi-occupied nations are
doing more than anything else-more
than all the fighting on the battlefronts
to create a postwar condition in which
the people now being victimized will de-
mand guarantees against a possible repe-
tition at any time in the future.
World War No. had its atrocity stor-
les, following a pattern which was as
old as history Such stories have not
made any successful appearance IN TINS
war. That is because the people OF the
world, as a whole, have become better
educated in the propaganda methods OF
warfare. They know that it was because
these stories were propaganda that they
had no lasting effect on the peace which
followed World War No. l.
The execution of hostages" in Nazl-
occupied Europe is fact-not propagan-
da. except as the Germans intend that
the deaths shall propagandize against
further resistance. Many of these hos
tages are innocent people, with no knowl-
edge of the sabotage for which they are
executed. Their families, their friends,
the leaders of their nations are not going
to forget this fact when the Germans are
finally whipped They are going to de-
mand measures which will make the
slaughter of innocent people unlikely in
the future. They are going to demand
tight reins upon the German nation.
The Germans are building their own
prison out of the bones of their victims,

Severe Blows

MOSCOW, June 3 (UP) - The
Russians claimed today to have
dealt the Germans reSoundlng
blows in local actions all along the
front.
Apparently the Germans were
feeling out Soviet positions for
weak points, but last midnight's
communIne indicated That they
were finding none. The Russians
were pushing forward in at least
one place, in an assault on an i'm
portant, but unidentified, locality
The communique said there was
no change in the front as whole.
but it reported that on Monday
aircraft on various fronts had de-
stroyed or damaged II German
tanks, $50 trucks loaded with troops
and supplies, a gasoline tank car,
1876 carts of ammunition, 16 anti
aircraft guns and field guns, II ma
chine guns and three searchlights,
had blown up ammunition dumps,
had damaged two patrol ships and
one transport, and had dispersed
and partly wiped out up to five
companies of infantry.

SAVING FRANCE
BUT FOR WHOM?

(ChriStian Science Monitor)
Since Laval has not succeeded even in
doing the required dirty work. MusSolini
appears to have been called back into
active service of the Fuhrer Reported
Italian demands on Vichy for cession of
Corsica and Nice are only pathetic echoes
of the once lusty voice of Fascist Italy.
They may sound formidable in French
ears today, but only because the real
France is PROSTATE and Hitler may be
trying to provide Vichy with excuses for
turning the French fleet over to him.
Nazi tactics still show that the Nazis
respect French public opinion. They ap-
parently realize there is point beyond
which the humiliation of France cannot
be pushed with safety, even by pseudo
French government. Both AdmiralS Dar-
Ian and Pierre Laval, chief of govern
ment, have made plain their view that
Frances future lies in a Europe domi
mated by Germany Thus the only reason
Hitler or they can have for not forcing
the French fleet to help defeat the enc
mics of the Nazi new order is that they
are afraid this could not be done without
incurring grave dangers to their control
of France, and perhaps of the fleet itself.
A France faced with demands by Italy,
however, is a France in need of influence
with MusSolini's boss. Vichy's Job in
such a situation would be to explain that
the only way to save French territory
from the Fascists is to cooperate with
the NaziS. The French people seem in
creasingly aware. however, that there is
a way to save France from both.

SUPERIOR PEOPLE

(RiverSide Press)
A woman writes to the New York
Times about people in an apartment
building-one of those big, pleasant ones
built around three sides of court yard
with trees and grass and flowers. Many
people live there, of many kinds. Some
of them, she says, are in the dangerous
position of thinking they are better than
their neighbors They don't want to at
tend AFRAID meetings with the other
folks.
She suggests that in case of danger
these people will probably be taken care
of by their "inferiors" who will know
what to do when the time comes. She
quotes the warden as saying that death
is great leveler.'
And so it is The English have found
out many things like that. They think
it's too bad it took war to teach them
basic facts about life and people. Do
we need bombings, too to give us some
idea of the real meaning and responsible
ity of democracy?
We do not want our readers to get the
idea that what's set forth in the above
paragraphs applies in any way to this
community The people of Riverside are
distinctly not class conscious. They are
ready at any time to work hand in hand
for the city they all love.
What the war has taught us is that
in unity we develop more strength to meet
what is before us. And while we have
not been bombed as yet we trust our
neighbors enough to be assured that they
will follow the authorized leaders in do
ing anything necessary to preserve our
city and its people.

THIS SUMMER CAN
BE FUN AT HOME

More and more, various individuals
and organizations in Imperial Valley are
laying stay-at-home plans for this sum-
mer, and it would not be at all surpris-
ing if the result is a new kind of enjoy
ment for all concerned.
1t is true that we so often strain for
enjoyment and easy living that we wear
ourselves out looking for entertainment
and relaxation elsewhere when we could
find it without half the trouble at home.
The very force of circumstances is liable
to prove that truth again for valley
people.
With tires unobtainable and automo-
biles precious, and with gasoline ration
ing a virtual certainty for some date not
very far distant, there will be many re-
naming at home who have not spent
full summer in the valley for years
possibly never. A surprise is in store for
them. They are going to find that the
summer is not what is was in pioneering
days here, but that it is instead very
pleasant time of year. Air conditioning
and other modern conveniences have made
the valley about as pleasant in summer
as are many of the supposed vacation
spots to which some of us have been in
the habit of going in past years.
This summer should see happy COM
bination in the social relationships of the
valley, combination of continued group
activities with the inevitable informality
which is so pleasant. Many people will
get better acquainted with their neigh
bors, and have good time doing so.
Half the hardships we complain about
so much are in our minds. Being forced"
to stay in the valley during the summer
is one of these Good natured acceptance
of the inevitable, and happy effort to
make the best of what is at hand, will
Immediately remove this particular war
time necessity from the hardship class,
and make it lot of fun. After ALL it is
just a habit that is being broken, and the
breaking of it may be good for the com
munity and its individuals alike.

Rommel was making no further
effort to withdraw additional mech
anized forces through the gaps in
the mine fields.
TANKS DESTROYED
Heavy loss of equipment, however
appeared to preclude an Axis sue
cess. Already about half of the Ger
man and Italian tanks in Libya are
believed to have been knocked out
or captured. 't
In q communique reviewing the
week long action, lie British COM
mander-in-c -chiei,. Gen. Sir Claude
j. e. Auchinleck, estimated Imperial
land forces had destroyed or cap
nlred at least 260 tanks. During
the same period, the Royal air force
was credited with destroying 1000
Axis vehicles, including tan Ks, ar
mored cars and fuel trucks.
Reports from the front credited
American 28-ton tanks known as
General Grants with leading
role in battering the Axis advance.

Raj Returns to

LONDON, June 3. (UP)-Hun-
dreds of Giant bombers returned to
the smoking German Ruhr during
the night, in the third devastation
raid in four days, and dropped bombs
into fires still raging from the

The British raiders did not total
in four figures as they had Satur-

incendiary and explosive bombs into

shrouded by smoke. .s=.
Fourteen planes failed to return,
against 35 lost the night before.
But the smoke and ground haze,
so thick that observation was DIFF

in any of the three raids so far in

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

If ever there was guy born to
trouble. it is the Hon. ReXford Guy
Tugwell-yes, the one who was an
original brain truster, the one who
was going to remake the world
or was it Just America?
Anyway. Tugwell has branch
ed out since he was exiled from
the New Deal into the vice
presidency of a molasses COM
pany, and is now governor of
Puerto Rico, which job he got
through the graces of his old
pal Harold Ickes, boss of Puerto
Rico by virtue of being Secre-
tary of the Interior, administer
ing u. $. territorial govern
ment. Currently, however, Gov
ernor Tugwell has been sitting
il out in Washington hotel,
trying to quiet cat fight with
i'm his official staff.
1t really isn't Tugwell'S fault.
The trouble began in row over
civilian defense in Puerto Rico.
OCD has its fan dancers, appar-
emily, even there. At first it was
lust a personal matter between
Mrs Tugwell and the wife of the
governors naval aide, typical
comic opera palace feud. But the
thing grew to such point that
newspapers in San Juan, the capl-
tai. began to print dispatches from
washington that the aide really
had been sent to understudy Tug
well. who was reported on the way
out.
THEN THE DIRT
The aide was Lieut.. Comm. Tom
c Hennings of st. Louis, MO-, who
had been elected to Congress three
times and had resigned to take a
position as district attorney. About
a year ago, however. he was called
into active service and assigned to
the staff of Governor Tugwell as it
was important that the Navy be
well represented in as strategic a
position as this island possession
unquestionably is.
The dirt in Washington Is that
when this story about Commander
Hennings' rumored appointment to
the governship appeared, it was too
much. A request was made TO the
Navy that Commander Hennings be
transferred to some nice, quiet spot,
say like Pearl Harbor
Here Mrs. Hennings went IN
to action. She had teen mar
ried to the commander only last
August. The assignment To
Puerto Rico was i'm the nature
of a belated honeymoon on
lovely island paradise. Mrs.
Hennings, before her marriage,
had been Josephine Haipin,
radio personality in ST. Louis
who knew what she wanted and
how to go about getting it.
When Mrs. Hennings learned her
husband was to be given the bum S
rush to another station, she started
writing letters. At least three con-
gressmen, two neWspapermen, one
lobbyist and the Puerto Rlcan resi-
dent commissioner in Washington,
the Hon. Bolivar Pagan, got letters
on the subject.

Heydrich Reported
Growing Worse

LONDON, June 3. CUP)-Rcln-
hard Heydrich, No. man in Adolf
Hitlers Gestapo, was reported IN
critical condition today from the
rifle wounds he suffered a week
ago in a roadside attack near Prague.
Coincidentally, reports reached
London that the Gestapo executed Il
more hostages at Prague, making
total of 1872 innocent Czechs killed
in reprisal.
The Stockholm newspaper Dag
bladet's Berlin correspondent, in a
dispatch on Heydrich's condition,
said hope for his recovery had not
been abandoned entirely, because OF
his strong physique.
