This is the message today to

day after a six-week visit to his
homeland.
STRICT SECRECY
Cane said that the raid on
Dieppe. in which the regiment
participated, was kept so secret
that he was actually invited to
visit the Essex Scottish on the
day of the raid.
"At the very time Of my sup

Cane said the British people are
depending on the workmen and

Seversky Calls
Criticism a Blow
Below the Belt
Replies to en- Officials
Charge That His Plane
Lost in Competition

Mai Alexander p. de Seversky,
noted aircraft designer and author
of Victory Through Air Power, "
today lashed back at Don S.
Berlin. General Motors official
who accused De Seversky of being
detrimental TO the war effort by
his criticism of the air force.
Berlin, forme rly with the
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and
one Of the designers of the P-40
fighter plane. declared in a speech
at Flint that De Severskys at
tacks may have been prompted by
his failure 10 win acceptance by
the army~of his own "provenly
inferior designs"
CLAIMS UNFAIR BLOW
"This Is hitting below the
belt" De Seversky said today in
"A formal statement. "Mr. Berlin

"After all, am not alone I'm

nized that December found us

NO one In his senses would
pretend that the P-40 IL a match
for the Messerschmitt or the
Spitfire. Our fighter planes have
been stymied Mt levels above

enemies have operated effec-
lively at FIVE miles.
Does Mr. Berlin really con-
tend that this situation ought

George Jean Nathan and Louis
Kronenberger. the latter OF Mr..
Ingersoll's staff, had strtk1ngly
different ideas in either one
category or another.
It was Mr.. Nathan's most delib-
crate judgment that the best per-
formance he saw all year was the
out of town acting OF Eddie
Dowling - very fine actor - in
Life, Laughter and Tears" That,
should you not have heard OF 1t,
was the Saroyan-OCasey one-act
play cycle which, in view OF his
sponsorship of both Saroyan and
OCasey, may have influenced Mr.:
Nathan's choice. Or maybe it was
lust that his willingness to travel
permitted him to see something
his more provincial colleagues
missed to their continued ignorance.
Mr.. Nathan went along, however, on
the prize for Miss Anderson IN the
distaff division of the art.
Mr.. Kronenberger went halfway
with his fellow critics, but in the
other direction. He agreed fully
on Meredith but, among women,
it was his conclusion that Mildred
Natwick's performance as the scat
terbrained medium in "Blithe Spirit
was the years best acting. In so
doing he arbitrarily moved her from
the supporting player category IN
which most critics decreed she was
an obvious winner.
But, why not? Minorities are
always more exclusive, especially
minorities Of one.

chosen Vera Zorina for the role OF

However, even though we die

choice. Zorina is one of the most
intelligent and capable persons this
department has met in her bushes.

Shaw's play were the outstanding
players OF the season. For what she
did with the sleep-walking scene
alone, not to mention her overall
playing of the lady whose mad
ambition wrecked love that might
have been wonderful, Miss Ander-
son deserved the award. There has
not been such a breath taking mo-
ment in the theater since Katharine
Cornell lifted "Wingless Victory"

Maxwell Anderson had a right to
expect-or hope.
Meredith's performance Of March
banks left even less room for quib-
bling, If possible. 1t was a thing
hot merely to re-establish him as
the outstanding young actor among
males but to give Shaw's play a
meaning that no other Marchbanks
ever had been able to impart.
Heretofore, Marchbanks had ex-
listed chiefly as sniveling little
whelp, pallid poetaster who
seemed on the verge Of regurgi-
tating the last meal he had had
with Candida, who was much too
dne a woman to be so annoyed.
He was not that as Meredith
played him. On the contrary, he
was vital fellow. a gifted young
male suffering an acute inner tor
ment which he sought to alleviate
by making other people equally
miserable. As such, he was COM
pletely an admirable human. at
last q worthy heckler of the wise
poised and beautiful Candida and
her pompous, single-minded hus-
band.
It was = great performance ane
eminently worthy of the honor II
won for Pvt. Meredith, who had

THE POWER LIES
WITHIN THE PEOPLE

1t IS not the newspapers as Such, Whlch
hold in check many of the fOllies and er-
rOrS which might otherwise be committed
in the name of legislative and admins
trative purposes. The newspapers are
a medium, nothing else. 1t is the public
the potential wrong-doers fear.
Yet they know that, without the news
papers, they would not have to fear the
public, because if it were not for the
newspapers, the public would not know
of their actions. SO it is that many of
them, nursing their hidden ambitions,
make a practice of criticzing the press
as venal, selfish and greedy.
We have already said, in this series,
that some newspapers are bad and some
are good. Those officials who want TO
discredit the press as a whole, for their
own mysterious reasons, make practice
of citing the bad examples, and attempt
ing to smear all newspapers with the tar
OF few If they were to succeed, they
would no longer have to fear the public,
for their own potential errors and crimes
could forever remain hidden from the
public.
At its worst, free press is better than
a politically controlled press, for free
press is competitive, and in its competi-
tiOn must furnish facts to the public or
perish. AS long as the public can ascer-
tain the facts, the people will be more
powerful than any lobby in Washington.
The people and the free press of the
country must stand or fall together.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-10-05
SACRIFICES NOW BECOME
MORE THAN MERE WORDS

The federal action to control national
economy will step on a lot of toes. 1t
will, as we have already said, create
many individual injustices, if we adopt
the peacetime view that every man should
be given an equal chance.
We as a nation have been talking lot
about sacrifice in the interest of Win
ming the war 1t will be more than talk
now. One of the neutrality-suspicious. one
of the greatest of them-will be to accept
the individual injustices as inevitable ad-
juncts of a program so broad, and so i'm
perative, that it has not the flexibility
nor the time to weigh every case individ-
ually.
Industry has already felt the pinch of
economic control; it will feel it more
sharply now. The record of industrial
management since this country went to
war suggests that whatever new sacri-
fices are demanded, they will be made
willingly and with only scattered COM
plants.
Labor unions - the one great group
which has made no sacrifices whatever
up to now-will begin to feel the weight
of war. Perhaps they will accept the re-
sponsibilities; we hope so. But, whether
they accept their sacrifices willingly or
not, they must be called upon to make
them, and must be forced, if that is neces-
sary, to do so.
No one will miss the weight of this pro-
gram, so no Sfe has a right to selfish
complaint

cific. The new advanced bases
from which these aircraft are oper-

American owned Aleutian chain.
The westernmost of these islands
is only 1875 nautical miles from
KiSka.
Although the navy, which is in
charge of operations of all the
armed forces in the Aleutians, in
cluding the Canadian air force, has
not yet proclaimed an offensive in

NO USE GOING
HALF THE WAY
We're on the wayl

were on the way!
There will be criticism, and plenty of it
from many different quarters of the
economic compass, as the federal govern
ments anti-inflation program goes into
effect. No doubt a lot of the criticism
will be justified, for there are bound to
be glaring errors as the program develops
step by step.
There will be lot of people whose
economic feelings will be hurt. Often
there will be no apparent justice in the
things which hurt them. That they Will
be hurt, however, is inescapabe No pro-
gram as broad as this one, affecting as
many millions of people, can operate
without creating individual injustices.
OF overall Importance is the fact thai
there is a program, and that 1t Is pro
gram of action instead of words. 1t comes
late, but it is better late than never. 1t
goes far, but better that than going only
halfway. We have had too much already
of halfway measures designed to plac-
ate some political groups and even favor
others. We have had so much of it, in
fact, that even now we watch with Sus
picion to see whether there will be an at
tempt in this program to give the white
haired boys of politics-the labor union
bosses and the New Deal office holders
the best of the break. At this early
writing, it is too soon to say whether the
suspicion is groundless, as we hope it is.
The tempo now is action-and that is all
10 the good.
The appointment of Associate Justice
James F. Byrnes of the supreme court to
be car of economic stabilization is en-
tirely in accord with the hope for quick
results.
President Roosevelt's order to stabilize
wages, salaries and farm prices at Sept.
10 levels is equally praiseworthy.
His order for nationwide fixing of
rents does away with lot of potential
pickering and squabbling.
So it is with the other steps that have
been taken in the first burst of action
under the new anti-inflation bill.
At long last-and no matter now whose
fault the delay--we are clearing the
decks for the only action that matters,
the action of devoting our whole atten-
ton, all of our resources and all of our
energies, to winning the war.
