CARGO PLANES:
Get Green Light

A "go-ahead green light" for the
construction of vast cargo planes in
months to come was given by both
the army and navy.
Speaking for the army, Lieut..
Gen. Henry H. Arnold, commander
of the army air forces, told senate
military affairs committee that 81
per cent of all multiple-engine
bomber planes to be produced for
the remainder of 1912 will be cargo
or transport carriers. Including all
planes of comparable flying range,
he added, 80 per cent of the total
output will be essentially for cargo
purposes.
General Arnold revealed that car
go and transport carriers now being
produced are used to move para
troops and airborne infantry, to tow
elders and to carry supplies to COM
bat zones. Planes are moving about
2,500,00 tons of material week, he
said.
Speaking for the navy, Rear Ad-
miral John H. Towers, chief of the
Bureau of Aeronautics, disclosed
that the navy is speeding huge pro-
gram for building cargo planes.

SUBMARINES:
LuU Near u. s.

That American coastal waters are
no longer a soft spot for German
submarines was the view expressed
by British officials in a commune
que from London. Consequently it
was believed that Axis U-boats had
been forced to seek other waters in
which to prey on United Nations
commerce.
Adoption of the convoy system in
the Panama and Caribbean areas
plus increased air defenses were cit
ed as coinciding with a decreased
scale of submarine attacks.
American military authorities
commenting on the recent drop in
submarine sinkings, warned, how
ever, that the Nazis might now be
preparing to bring the full brunt
of their underseas attack against the
heavily conveyed supply lines across
the North Atlantic.
Increasing Allied effectiveness
against submarines was said to be
due to the fact that the "bottleneck
regarding engines for submarine
chasers, defensive craft and dirigi-
bles has been broken and defensive
craft are coming forward in greater
numbers.

GRAIN AND OIL:
To the Nazis

Though the cost in men and ma
chimes has been terrific, the Nazis
are already reaping the benefits of
their 1912 drive for the oil and grain
riches of the Caucasus.
This was evidenced by an admis-
sion on the part of Red Star, Off
cial Russian army newspaper, that
already the Germans were shipping
trainloads of foodstuffs from the Ku-
ban area. Kuban is one of Russia's
finest farm sectors but now has been
practically cut off from Soviet con-
troll.
However, the Nazis were not har-
vesting all the grain nor pumping
all the oil that the Russians were
forced to abandon. For as they re-
treated, the Cossack defenders were
employing the "scorched earth"
policy to the best of their ability.
Grain fields and granaries crammed
with wheat were blazing as the Ger
mans advanced to them. Oil wells
in the Maikop field were blown up
by Soviet troops. Yet experts were
forced to admit that the Nazi prize
that remained was worth the battle
losses. For these are the things
Germany needs to continue fighting
oil and grain.

LABOR:
Another Crossroads

AS "peace" committees of both
AFL and CLIO begin preparations for
their meeting to bring about labor
peace both Philip Murray, CIO pres
ident, and William Green, head of
AFL, issued public statements indi-
eating that they favored the objec-
tive
There were definite signs, howev-
er, that the method of reaching the
objective might encounter some diff
ficulty along the way. For in one
of his statements on the subject
President Green urged that CLIO:
"come back to the ALL, the House
of Labor"
Later in a speech to the impor-
tant CIO United Automobile, Air
craft and Agricultural Implement
Workers of America, meeting in
their convention in Chicago, Philip
Murray avoided all reference to this
statement. But he did say: Is. j
hope, I pray, that their (the AFL's)
attitude will have changed, that ex-
perience has taught the need for CIV
ing recognition to the aspirations
and detectives of those organizations

INDIA:
Action

AS the crisis in the latest drive
for midas independence ap-
preached, Britain acted with speed
and surprise. BY official decree,
Mohandas K. Gandhi and almost 200
other All-India Congress party lead
ers were arrested as they prepared
to launch their nationwide nom
violent civil disobedience movement
as protest against Britain's re-
fusal to grant India immediate free
dom.
Some sources reported that the
British acted because it was learned
that an extensive sabotage cam
paign against the war effort was
about to get under way.
Rank and file of Gandhi's party
did not take their rebuke quietly.
Dispatches from New Delhi report
ed rioting in Bombay and Ahmeda-
bad. In addition government grain
stores were looted in protest against
the British action.
1t was the sixth time that Gandhi
had handed himself over to govern
ment officials in his lifelong fight for
Indian independence. AS he gave
himself up he called upon his fol-
lowers to remember the slogan:
EITHER we get freedom or die"
Technically Gandhi was not being
imprisoned but he was to be kept
under "strict surveillance"
Britain's attitude seemed to be
summed up in the thought that while
India's independence was important,
the most vital problem of the United
Nations at present was the winning

Motorists PRAYER

The following prayer, written by
DR.. Frederic S. Fleming, rector
of Trinity church, New York,
should prove valuable for all
motorists:
Grant me a steady hand and
watchful eye, that no man shall be
hurt when I pass by. Thou gavest
life, and I pray no act of mine
may take away or mar that gift
of Thine. Shelter those, dear
Lord, who bear me company from

Biggest stumbling blocks in labor
peace talks for the seven years that
the two groups had gone their own
way had been personalities and the
refusal or inability of ALL to recog-

grouping all workers in an industry

AS far as personalities were con-

GRIM ENDING.
For SdbOteurs

The greatest execution in the his
tory of the nations capital took
place when six of eight Nazi sabo-
teurs who came to this country by
submarine to cripple the war effort
were electrocuted in the District of
Columbia jail's electric chair.
1t was an hour and a half after
the first of the plotters was pro-
nounced dead that the White House
made its official announcement. The
six were Herbert Hans Haupt, Helm
rich Harm Heinck, Edward John
Kerling, Hermann Otto Neubauer,
Richard Quirin and Werner Thiel.
Two other saboteurs escaped death
by aiding the prosecution. One of
them, Ernest Peter Burger, was SEN
fenced to life in prison at hard la
Dor. The other, George John Dasch,
was sentenced to 80 years at hard
labor.
Meanwhile, the nations first i'm
portant sedition trial since the out
break of the war came to close
when a federal court jury in Indian
apolis found William Dudley Policy,
founder of the Fascist Silver Shirts,
guilty of criminal sedition.
Pelley's co defendants, Agnes
Marion Henderson, his secretary,
and Lawrence Brown, were found
guilty only of conspiracy. Policy
was found guilty on all II counts in
the indictment.
Even as the erstwhile dictator of
the Silver Shirts braced himself for
the penalties ahead, the American
public demonstrated again its stern
temper when Federal Judge Arthur
j. Tuttle pronounced a death sem
tence for treason upon Max Stephan,
Detroit restaurant owner, for be-
traying his adopted country by be-
friending an escaped Nazi prisoner.

silent and busy man; I was kept
busy with the lighter homework, en-
tertaining, garden, books, friends
and nursery. Every day had it's
duties and problems, and it's small
pleasures. Jim and I had plans for
every weekend, and a three-weeks
camping trip every summer. We
left the boys with his mother, but
were planning to take them with us
when they were older.
"This was the picture when I fell
in love with man who had recently
come to the neighborhood. For one
year our friendship was confined to
secret meetings, wistful talks, and
the exchange of many notes. Then
Jim went away for some weeks,
and during that time Douglas and
I became much too intimate.
81 make no excuses for myself,
except to say that I had never in
my life before experienced such alb
sorption in any emotion; it was
whirlwind, earthquake, tidal wave,
anything you like, as long as you
understand that 1 completely lost
command of myself.
Lover Was Married.
Douglas was also married, but
childless, and living apart from the
wife. He applied for a divorce at
once, but settlements could not be
reached and there was long delay.
I went to my father and stepmoth-
er, but was unhappy there, and
Douglas and went to another town
and set up housekeeping together.
All this time I was intensely nerv-
Gus; uncertain and wretched about
everything except the supreme real
ity of our love for each other.
"My little boys went to their
grandmother, and Jim never op-
posed my coming to see them, but
it was stiff, unnatural sort of meet
ing and gave me more pain than
pleasure. The smaller one was
quite i'll and sometimes l went to
sit with him and read to him, but
he always wanted me to stay and
I could not stay. They were natural
ly never allowed to come to me.
Rather than give his wife the
control she demanded of his fortune,
Douglas continued to refuse her
divorce terms, and for two years
we wandered about in Fools Para
disc, telling each other that our love
in itself was all that mattered. But
it came to me gradually that he was
making no plans for our marriage,
and about year ago he suggested
my having little apartment of
my own, as he was obliged to travel
a great deal on defense business.
Since we made this change I have
neither seen him nor heard from
him.
II am so wearied, sick, crushed
by all this that nothing seems to
me to matter any more. But I I'M
derstand now that Jim, my husband,
has been sent on medical service
to Australia, which leaves my adored
boys with an old and somewhat
feeble grandmother. Have / any
claim on them? Will I have if Jim
is killed? It seems to me that if
I could get them back I would re-
capture some of the joy I have
thrown away"
That's the letter.
What is the answer? There is no
answer.

but a complete fool when
l. you are Sin love-" To be
Gin love" is to be in a fever,
with moments of actual delir-
ium, and nobody expects a per-
son in such a condition to be ca
pable of making wise decisions
or of rational action.
Many men and women mar
ry, enjoy life, raise families,
consider themselves fortunate
and happy people, without hav-
ing known the agonies and
delights, the fears and raptures of
being Sin love-"
It is a sickness of spirit that
makes everything else in life seem
dreamy and far away. A woman
determines she will not telephone;
she cannot wait to get her hands on
a telephone. She determines she
will not humiliate herself by writing
a letter, even as she is inScribing
her passionate words on a page. She
will not think about him, but she
hopes at every corner to meet him,
every mans coat or walk or eyes or
smile brings him back to her. She
will start conversation, break it
off restlessly, determine to lie down
for awhile just to dream of him and
spring up instantly like a person
blinded by sudden pain, to put on
her hat and go forth aimlessly to
haunt such places as he frequents.
A woman ''in love" cannot eat
or sleep; she is helpless under the
neglect or cruelty of the man for
whom she is burning with desire,
because he is as much her whole
world as is the air she breathes and
she can do without the one no better
than she can do without the other.
Unfortunately, to many of our
modern women, who are not bound
down by Homework, child-bearing,
a generally moneyless and helpless
condition as their grandmothers
were, the experience of being sin
love" is one that comes after mar
riage. Engagement, marriage,
motherhood, and home-making seem
a tame affair beside it. Some man,
romantic, unknown, ready with SUBJ
tie flatteries-about 80 per cent of
being Gin love" is mutual batteries,
by the way-comes out of the blue,
and sensible little Nancy, who up to
this point has been everything
sweet good daughter, wife, mother,
friend ought to be, is carried off her
feet and washed out to sea.
Ignores the Consequences.
That she is living on whipped
cream and caviar and terrapin and
marrons glacees, and that she is GO
ing to have a good old-fashioned at
tack of nauseau and stomach-ache
after it, doesn't occur to Nancy. The
very fact that this particular fruit
is forbidden only adds to its flavor.
She knows, looking at similar af-
fairs going on among her friends,
that after a few months the glamor-
Gus Freddie will seem to her just
another shallow, simple, selfish, I'M
reasonable man like so many of the
others.
But fever is upon her, her whole
body thrills and throbs with it, and
for a few months of passion she will
sacrifice everything she has built
into her life and character.
Here is letter characteristic of
many I receive, characteristic of a
situation that has meant wreckage

OFFENSIVE:
In Southwest Pacific

Exactly eight months after the
bombing of Pearl Harbor-eight
months of gloom-laden defensive
warfare-Allied air, sea and land
forces carried the battle to the en-
envy in the Southwest Pacific thea
ter of war.
In a fierce battle for the Solomon
islands, the United States fleet and
warships of the Pacific flotilla struck
heavy, continuing blows at Japa-
nese bases in Americas first great
offensive of the war.
Adm. Chester w. Nimitz, U. S.
naval commander in the Pacific,
stressed the force of enemy resist
ance. The fight was at the northern
boundary of the Coral sea, where a
u. S. task force in May inflicted the
first great naval defeat in history
upon Japan.
Although not discussed in official
communicates, navy spokesman
made it clear that the assault on
the Solomons was the first major
attempt to regain Japanese-seized
territory. Equally clear was the
fact that all possible fire power was
being brought to bear upon the en-
envy. This would include army and
navy bombing planes, Smelling from
big guns of naval surface ships and
possibly strong land action.
Some thousands of miles north a
Pacific fleet task force had bonn
barded Jap ships and installations
at Kiska, one of three Aleutian is
lands upon which an estimated
10000 japanese have entrenched
themselves.
