MARSHALL'S THE MAN
FOR SUPREME COMMAND

Nothing official has come out of 1t
yet, but the sort of speculation which
invariably has some background in ac-
tuality indicates that United Nations war
chiefs are considering the establishment
of a supreme command, possibly with
u. S Chief of Staff George c. Marshall
as the supreme commander of all Allied
armies.
Gen Marshall, or soma other American
fighting leader, is the only logical choice
for such a position.
The British have nobody to offer who
could command the kind of worldwide
respect such leader would need from
the beginning. The British have not de
veloped any outstanding military leaders
during this war. strangely enough. Why,
nobody may know until after the war Is
over; it may never be known. But the
fact remains, there is not British gen
eral under whom we should like to see
American men fighting.
Russia. on the other hand, has full
supply of good military leaders, young
and resourceful, Of whom Marshal Sem
yon Timoshenko is probably the best.
China, also, has the imperishable Chang
Kai-shek, who has done more with less
than any other United Nations general.
But in China and Russia one thing is
lacking, which can be obtained only IN
North America 1t is the semi detached
viewpoint which allows prime cOnsidera-
tion of all factors, without what might
be unintentonal but dangerous emphasis
on one theater of action 1t would be
extremely hard, if not impossible, for
Timoshenko to put any other front above
that in Russia, if it became necessary.
Chang would find it difficult not to
concentrate upon China.
We are in different position in this
country; the fighting IS not taking place
in our own territory, our men are already
scattered to every front in the world, we
are inclined more to look at the war as
whole.
Whether it be Marshall or Macarthur,
we believe America should provide the
supreme commander when and if one
is chosen.

new WAY TO WIN
{ Riverside Press)


The large-scale bombing of Bremen,
following like attacks on Rostock, Col
ogne, Essen and Emden, suggest that the
British are adopting the Douhet theory
of war.
Giulo Douhet, despite his French name.
was the Italian equivalent of Gen Billy
Mitchell. Like Mitchell, Douhet, in sea-
son and out, advocated the prime import
ance of air power Like Mitchell. he was
punished for his zeal, Douhet served
year in military prison for alegedly
making false statements defamatory to
the Italian military command. Like
Mitchell, Douhet died too early lin 1890
to see himself indicated
Douhets great idea was that military
and civilian resistance could be bombed
into surrender. Overwhelming air power
would do the trick While he denied any
intention Of doing away with the army
and navy, he clearly regarded them as Of
secondary Importance.
Chiefs of state, like other people, are
much tempted with shortcuts to desired
ends. When Douhet asserted that his
plan would win all wars, every country
weighted this carefully. The Spanish
civil war in 1888, saw it tried in the bomb
ing of Barcelona and Madrid. Great dam
age was done, yet no collapse followed.
Douhet's theories then went into collapse.
In 1910 and 1941, the Germans practiced
extensive aerial bombing, but supplement-
ed it with elaborate forces on land and
sea. Their success seemed to make Dou-
het's system unnecessary.
The British, having no large army for
invasion, must make up the deficiency by
doing what they can in the air. If their
widespread destruction of German cities
stops the naZis war machine, Douhet
will go down in history as one of the
great military prophets of all time.

MASTER PLAN FOR
AERIAL COMMANDMENT
(kansas City Times)


Recognizing the vunerability of the
region to air attack, the German author
ltles have made strenuous attempt to
decentralize their munition industries
and place as many as possible in less
accessible districts. But the British be-
lleve they have had only limited success.
Even today it is estimated that the popu-
latlon of the Ruhr includes half the iron
and steel workers of Germany and to-
gether with the Rhineland, this area pro-
duces two-thirds of the Reich's hard coal.
The high degree of industrialization has
necessitatad intricate rail facilities Es-
sen, for example, which was heavily bomb
bed the other night dispatches 25 per cent
OF the tonnage carried by the German
state railroads, and Cologne, besides be-
ing key point for that system, also
serves as one of the principal ports on
Germany's inland waterways The British
say the target for each night is selected
by the air ministry in consultation with
various civilian departments, including
the ministry of economic warfare. and in
accord with q master plan"

MORE SALT,
LESS ALCOHOL

The first death in which heat played
a part las been reported in Imperial
county. and like ma iority of such deaths
in the past, alcohol had the star role.
You cannot drink heavily in Imperial
county in the summertime without flirt-
ing with coffin. If you do not drink
heavily = preferably, not at all - the
chances are that the summer will bother
you very little. Most of the sO-called
heat deaths here are actually deaths
from alcoholism complicated by heat.
If you are out in the sun great deal,
however, it will add considerably to your
personal comfort to consume an unusual
amount of salt daily because perspira-
tion wastes an unusual amount out of
your body, which needs it, You may suf-
fer no lasting i'll effects if you do not
replenish your bOdys salt supply, but
you will escape a great deal of that dull
feeling if you do.
1t is always good advice to Imperial
Valleyites in the summertime to swap
liquor for salt. And, even if you don't
get the salt, forego the liquor.
You'll stay healthier longer, and feel
a whale of 4 lot better, for it.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

Inc TACT Is gradually DtiilS dilsci
home that this war production bus
mess, big and hurry-up as it is
still will not be able to utilize the
productive capacity Of every manu-
featuring plant in the country
There are not enough materials
and there is not enough skilled
labor to use every plant on war
production and nothing but the
most essential civilian goods pro-
duction.
As 4 result, you are apt to
helr much yOwling as thou
sands of these small manufac-
turing Trims realize they're not
gcing To get any war orders.
Many of these firms have been
shut down by WPB limita ton
orders, cutting off the manu-
facture of civilian goods. But
Those cuE-Off orders were to
save materials and 1t does not
follow that everyone of these
shut down firms eventually will
get war contracts. The sad fact
is that they will have to get
realistic and realize that there
are going to be more business
casu ,lties - perhaps $4,000 or
$1,000 of them.
AS mentioned in this space be-
fore, the Smaller War Plants Cor
poration, created as a branch OF
the War Production Board, is not
going to solve the problem. 1t will
help some smaller manufacturers
get war contracts, but SWPC can
really do nothing which the Army
and Navy contract and procure
ment services have not already
been empowered to do and which
they have been doing for months
In fact. War Department finance
officers have been going around the
country, making speeches to Cham
berS of Commerce and groups of
business men, telling them that if
they needed financial help for re-
business men telling them that if
tooling or expansion the services
were authorized to give lift.
MANY CAN'T DO JOB
To force any appreciable number
of these dislocated plants to keep
going when they are not equipped
to do a good job on war orders
would be industrial boon -doggling OF
serious nature, according to pres
ent WEB thinking In too many OF
these plants, the machine tools are
not accurate enough to do the pre-
cision work required for military
product on. To give contracts to
shops of this category just to keep
them busy would not only waste
material but slow up production as
well.
Eefinite efforts are being
made to spread war contracts
10 as many small plants as pos
sible. One fruitful method of
bringing more plants into war
production has been by re-eX-
animation and relocation of
contracts. For inst nee, i'm re-
viewing contracts for making
time fuses for shells, it was
found that one such big con-
tract had been given to a watch
company. While this at first
seemed like a notable cOnver-
sion of civilian industry to
war production, re-examinatiOn
showed il was a bad contract.
Making time fuses requires no
specially accurate machinery. The
precision tools and highly expert
enced machine operators of a watch
factory, however, were suited to the
production of navigating instru-
mentS, range finders and other
high accuracy manufacture. So the
tine fuse contract was reassigned
to a lower quality works, and the
watch factory is making precision
instruments.
