Poles in POmerania
(New York Times)

(New York Times) Camouflaged a colonization plan" the Naz setting out a large scheme for the protection of Germanism on the Rech's eastern borders. IT an effort to create ramparts in foreign populated areas the plan, calling for complete elimination o1 alien elements, follows the usual Nazi pattern ot ruthless subjugaton. To clear Pomerania of al traces of Polish influence half million Poles vii be forced to leave in the Autumn a territory whose German population is not more than IS per cent It is murderous plan, aimed at the extermination of the Polish race
 While the design spells disaster for the Polish population in that region it is also another indica- tion that the Nazi attempts at Germanzaton of Poles have been complete failure. After the con- quest of Poland the German authorities launched tenyear colonization plan for the socaed incorpor- ated areas - Western Poland and part of Central Poland In conformity with this idea reckless de- portatons started. They resulted in the evacuation of 100000 Poles in Warthegau Province alone where, out Of total of 99000O0 acres 7,7OOO0O acres of arabe land were taken over by the con- querors. Only the Gouvernement General was left to the Poles.
 The scheme proved unsuccessful, the number of settlers from the Reich was insufficient The Germans, who had claimed to be a people without space, faced a space without people The Leben- sraum theory failed and the experiment entered it's second phase when the Nazs tried process of as-
 
 giving them the status of Voksdeutsche some Polish farmers and laborers lured into the Nazi orbit
 Again the plan did not work as only small num- Der of privileged" Poles threatened with starvation could be induced to become German subjects Faced with dilemma, the Germans are resorting to more drastic measures that mark the third and present phase of their colonization methods. Known in the Reich Chancellery as the Best -Himmler plan this project goes to the other extreme by declaring hun dreds of thousands of Poles unfit to become 'thor oughbred Germans" Robbed of their property these unfortunate people will be transferred elsewhere Their homesteads vacated, they will be replaced by deserving Germans the vanguard of future Nazi settlers.
 Werner Best is Gestapo chief He has already applied his principles of large-scale economic ad mnistration to other conquered areas He has de- clared that it is not against the laws of life to de- stroy and eliminate foreign nationality In the case of the Poles in Pomerania, his boss Himmler will see to it that the colonization blueprint is duly executed.

HITLER'S SPEECH

Significantly quiet for many months, Adolf Hitler screwed up his courage the other day and made a speech. He told the German people that Stalingrad will fall He didn't say when. He assured them that Germany will continue to defeat it's enc mics until final victory is ours" He boasted that any attempt to establish second front would fail
 That's about all he said Then he shut up, sat down. and the war rolled
 In Russia the winter was coming on and the Reds were still holding what left of Staingrad Even a Naz victory here could not be called a glorious victory The Russians have upped the price of Stall ngrad and the Nazi reservoir has been running low
 In Russia and elsewhere the German war machine was not the swift striking force that it was when it flowed smoothly into Poland late in 1939 and through the low countries in early 1940
 Last fall Hitler made speech also, He said then that the enemy has already been broken and will never rise again" Today enemies have arisen and the old still there the important ones
 Today Hitler's forces coming up against armies invasions," the kind that followed up by the bloodiest of occupations.
 Today, city in Germany can rest assured that no bombing is coming either at night in day light. Hitler once told his people that there would be no bombings of Germany proper. Today there proper bombings and large ones. Most of the planes are coming from America, land that is far off to German, but close enough to send planes from, and bombs and pilots.

water conditions and the Bureau tank lighter did not"
 Yet some officers in the Bureau of Ships still wanted to stick to their type of lighter, respite the need for speed and the impending urgency of the second front.
 This, however, was promptly over-ruled above. It was immedi- ately decided to build Higgins type of landing boats from that point on. A telephone conversation next day between Commander E. E Roth of the Bureau of Ships and Captain John D. Crecca of the Bos- ton Navy Yard, said in part: Commander Roth: Commander Daggett (chief designer of the Bu- reau lighters) took a plane and went up to Philadelphia and he's just coming back at 5 o'clock to- night. But it's true. I can't ina zine anything that would have de- veioped today to change it, and you've got to adjust yourself and make out. We're going to make them all Higgins type instead of Bureau Type"
 Captain Crecca: Well, they'll handle the work just like they're handling it now. Plans and all?
 Commander Roth: Yes, I think they will. There's no change in the set-up. But what you heard as ru- nor IS just as true as it can be and I'm very sorry to have to confirm it."
 Thus, reluctantly did the Bureau o1 Ships, after fighting against the Higgins type of small landing boat for more than a year, finally Yield to design which did not originate with them.
 NOTE: The Bureau of Ships has oone magnificent job in repair Ing ships sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor in record time. but this LOOK no originality of design.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
SUNDAY. OCTOBER 4


 Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for the church. es. Public interest in religion will be manifested in many creeds and diverse philosophies.
 HEART AND HOME: Owing to unsettled domestic conditions many families may be anxious regarding the coming Winter. Changes of dwelling places will be so wide spread that old friendship ties will be broken and homesickness may be ar-reaching. Wise women will make attractive even the least in- viting temporary houses or apart ments and they will realize that the war is to bring about social influ- ences which may be made advan- tageous, even though they are less pleasant than those previously en- joyed.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merch ants should prepare for a good holi- day trade Imitation warnings will not curb generous expenditures by wage earners. Christmas, which will have special war significance, will be observed with munificent gifts. Expenditures by cities and clubs will be unusually large. The economic side of the war will be amazing, but indirectly all classes of businessmen and women will benefit. Adjustments to blackout regulations will be possible, so that many nighttime recreations will ce profitable.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As schools and colleges settle down to routine work, interest in education will be keen. Students will realize the value of their special talents as as sets of the nation and will study with extraordinary industry. Pro- gress of the war will be watched with peculiar interest by the youth of the nation which is preparing for public service. The next few weeks will bring stirring news that as- sures ultimate victory while it in- creases individual responsibility This is to be long struggle, it is i forecast.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." This month is to demonstrate how wisely the United Nations have planned all offensive operations Slowly the full might of the Allies will be revealed. Staggering losses seem to be presaged, especially after winter weather brings the usual handicaps. Many brilliant careers of military and civic leaders will close suddenly. Heroes will mul- tiply and will be given recognition but many will be overlooked in the chaos of conflict.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of many exciting experiences. There should be plenty of money as well as a good share of romance.
 1 Children born on this day prob- l ably will have varied talents and much personal magnetism. They have the possibility of great suc- cess in life.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 5

Benefic aspects strongly dominate today. Both military and industrial affairs are under good direction of the stars. There is a threaten ing omen for the Navy.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should find this an suspicious date for seeking employment or promo tion, for persons in authority should be helpful. Old persons are well directed. Their counsel should be sought, but the young may disre- gard wise advice. Industry is under fortunate influences which seem to presage elimination of antagonism to women in important positions in shops or factories. This is the time to prepare for cold winter. Homes should be small and heating prob lems should be simplified since fuel will be scarce in many parts of the country.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Financial exlgencies in regard to war expenses are foreshadowed. Sudden and un- expected costs to the United States are prognosticated. The stock mar ket may fluctuate sharply from day to day and the effect of large ir- vestments in Government bonds will be felt. Prosperity through agri- culture and mining is forecast. Abundance for the fortunate resi- dents of the United States is prog nosticated and magnificent supplies Tor starving Europe are presaeed.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: With the fall elections near there will be ex- traordinarily bitter campaign speeches and lack of attention to war dangers. In Congress many members will oppose Administration policies and their states will return them to House and Senate it is foretold. Inevitable mistakes in the promotion of certain branches of

Bureau design, refused to do bus mess with Higgins. It felt, accord ing to Captain N L. Rawlings, that the Bureau type of design, ALTHOUGH IT HAD NOT BEEN BUILT OR TESTED, offered the best promise"
 Therefore, the Bureau of Ships after the White House conference which determined on a second front, ordered a large number of it's own design tank lighters, and placed the orders with various Navy yards. giving Higgins no or ders at all.
 The first of these was finished in April and tested at Ipswich Mass, in calm water, where it was found that the Bureaus tank light CT had no directional control when the engines were placed in reverse Again tests were held in Philadel- phla in early May, where it was found that the lighter could not back off the beach after landing unless the crew rocked it back ant forth, meanwhile racing the en- zines at top speed.
 However, despite the deficiencies shown in these two tests, the Navy stuooornly proceeded to develop it's own type of tank landing boat and to ignore the Higgins type, regard less of the effect it might have upon the lives of American soldiers or the success of a second front rreStlge was more important.
 But late in May the final test came. Two tank landing boats, one designed by the Bureau of Ships one by Higgins, were tried out at Norfolk. The results were disastrous ito the Navy.
 Pictures were taken of the Navy's lighter and show various high of- licers wearing life Ibelts, scram- oilng ln a very undignified manner up one side of the boat for fear it would sink.

 Likewise, clustering Andy Hig- gins can be very disagreeable, likes to write insulting letters to ad- mirals, gets on almost everyone's nerves, but is a genius when it comes to small boat design. His ability regarding large 10,000-ton freighters, for which his New Or leans contract was cancelled, never has been tested. But for small naval landing boats, Higgins rates at the top.
 Nevertheless, because Higgins got on the Navys nerves, he was re- buffed. And as a result the posi- tions of Russia, Great Britain and the United States today all have suffered.

HIGGINS WINS OIT

Captain Dan Barbey, one of the most efficient younger men in the Navy, was present and wrote the following report:
 "Enroute to Fort Story. the Bu- reau lighter shipped so much water of Thimble Shoals that it was forced to turn back for fear Of foundering. The Higgins tank light CT reached Fort Story successfully and disgorged the 3O-ton tank on the beach without difficulty. ex- cept that more time than neces- sary was taken in the disgorging operation because the tank com mander feared the water was too deep This did not prove to be the case.
 To put the matter baldly, the Higgins tank lighter fulfilled it's mission under reasonably rough
