NAZI EXECUTIONS:
Dutch Are Stubborn

Nazi ferocity was visited on Occu-
pied Holland when Heinrich Hmm
ler's Gestapo executioners killed
their first hostages in the Neither
lands. The victims were five promi-
nent Dutch citizens. The executions
were in reprisal for the wrecking of
a train carrying Second front" Ger
man troops to the European coast.
This summary action by the Nazis
was regarded by some observers as
evidence of their anxiety over the
Allies projected second front. The
killings followed Gestapo pattern
already well imprinted on Occupied
France and Czecho-Slovakia.
The traditional stubbornness of
the Dutch in refusing to meet the
Germans demand that the train
wreckers be caught and turned over
to them, was evidence, too of the
spirit of revolt ready to flame when
United Nations land operations
reach Continental Europe.
Further reprisal executions doomed
as the Nazis held nearly all of Hol-
lands social and intellectual leaders
as hostages in dingy prisons.

UPSET:
To jap Strategy

Aerial support from captured land
based airdromes was aiding the
u. S. marines as they extended their
footholds gained in the Solomon is
lands. This important step marked
the second major phase of U. S.
military and naval activity aimed
at driving the Japs forever from the
southwest Pacific.
When this first American offensive
of the Pacific war opened, planes
from General MacArthur's forces in
Australia were the only land based
craft which could aid the operation.
Now, however, the marines had
pushed far enough forward to oper-
ate seized airfields.
Chief objective of the long-planned
and complicated offensive in the
Solomons was Tulagi, where the
Japs had been profitably using
large harbor for raids on United
Nations shipping lanes to Australia.
That this menace had been over
come to some degree was indicated
by the lack of Jap reports on such
shipping. This looked too as if Jap
reinforcements for their Solomon
forces had either been swept out
of the sector or had been pushed
near to Australia and thus subjected
to attack from that direction.
Another objective for the United
Nations in the Solomons had been
Guadacanal, one of the few islands
suitable for a good-sized airfield.
Even as the marines blasted for
ward to these targets, warplanes I'M
der the command of General Mac
Arthur were pounding numerically
at Jap-held points nearer Australia.
On New Britain, Rabaul, junction of
the Jap aerial lifeline to the Coral
sea and New Guinea, was pounded
constantly. Likewise on New
Guinea, Salamaua was a prize OBJ
jective of the bombings.

only limited list.
But golf has its peculiar ways. 1t
gave Harry VardOn control Of ev-
cry shot in the game-up to the putt.
II Vardon had been first-class putt
er he would have finished with more
U. S. and British Opens than any
two men in golf.
Both Nelson and Hogan can putt
in spells. But there is nothing con-
sistent on either side. Neither looks
like a good putter, to start with.
Nelson can gear himself up higher
in big stake than Hogan can. This
may be due to the fact that Hogan
is willing to work harder through a
longer stretch.
Hogan gives himself no rest. He
takes no vacations. Nelson does,
giving much less thought to tourna-
ments that he considers not quite
so important.
The wonder is that 135-pound Ho-
gan can take such physical and
nerve and mental beating-not only
week after week and month after
month-but also year after year.
Hogan practices endlessly, steeling
himself for every tournament. His
ability to stand up under the strain is
little short of miraculous.
If you are looking for the best shot
maker-the nod goes to Nelson.
If you are looking to the hardest
worker-the same goes to Hogan.
And it might be mentioned that
both can play their full share Of
winning golf.

MOSLEMS SPEAK:
On COOperatiOn

If the British continue to sacrifice
Moslems' interests in seeking peace
with the Hindu-dominated All-India
Congress party, it will mean the end
of cooperation between 10000, 900
Moslems and the British empire.
That warning was uttered by Mo-
manned Ali Jinnah, leader of the
An-India Moslem league, which has
not participated in Mohandas K.
Gandhi's passive resistance cam
paign for immediate Indian indie
pendence.
Although the Moslems are a mi
nority in the Indian population, they
have contributed far more than
their share of men to the 1000, 600
guarding against an expected at
tack by the Japanese.
Jinnah, in a press conference, ex-
planned his position thus:
In his capacity as leader of the
Moslem league, he offered at the
beginning of the war to cooperate
with the British. This assurance
has been given many times. But, he
said, the Congress party, consisting
mostly Of Hindu political elements
(and minority Of Moslem repre-
sentation) consistently has refused
to cooperate. Because of this, the
British have attempted to satisfy the
Hindus with more and more offers
of a part in the government. Each
concession, he pointed out, weakens
the Moslems' strength while build
ing that Of the Hindus.

SHIP LAUNCHING:
Bad NeaUs for Axis

An answer to the challenge of the
Axis submarine campaign resound-
ed in the waters along the Maine
coast when six cargo ships totaling
81 900 tons and two destroyers to
help protect them from U-boats took
to the Atlantic in a single day in a
mass launching that broke all rec
ords for the shipbuilding yards near
Portland.
One after another six new mer-
chantmen built for the British Pur-
chasing commission were christened
and floated from construction basins
to start the days celebration. Two
of these had required only 48 days
building time. The other four took
81 days.

ships, the berths were Immediately
made ready for keels of five more.

Nelson and Hogan
Nelson and Hogan, two Texans
who came along together from Ft.
Worth, take up most of the argu-
ments. This is natural enough. In
the first place they are the two big
money winners of the year, the two
leading stars of the last two years
over a stretch of tournament play.
Hogan won the $500 open at Los
Angeles. Nelson won the Masters
at Augusta in a play off against
Hogan. Hogan won the Hale Amer
lea. Then Nelson followed by win
ming the $4,000 Tam O. Shanter
scramble. The two have had one
important meeting so far.
In the Augusta National test Mel
son led Hogan by single stroke
in 80 holes of play. This margin Of
course is thinner than the rubber
Of a toy balloon.
Hogan's tournament record in the
way of average strokes per round
and his money record for two years
has been slightly better than Mel
sons. They are tough pair to sep
arate, if you take in all the ele-
ments that go into winning golf.
Nelson has been the big stake win
ner. Hogan has yet to win nation
al title-U. S. Open or PGA.
Styles Of Play
Byron Nelson, without any ques-
ton, is the best all around shot
maker in the game.
He has greater variety than Ho-
gan can call upon. For example,
Hogan must depend upon a con-
trolled hook off the tee. Nelson, II
the occasion demands, can use a
fade or a hook.
Hogan believes in banking upon
control of a more limited assert

WAR DEPARTMENT:
Marshall Tipped

In a move designed to further
speed the war effort, the duties Of
the office of chief of staff, now filed
by Gen. George c. Marshall, were
REDEEMED by regulations making him
an executive" under the President.
For the first time in history the
army chief of staff became "the ex-
ecutive through whom the President,
as commander-in-chief, exercises
his functions in relation to strategy,
tactics and operations.
Some observers saw in the move
a possibility that General Marshall
would be tied to Washington to
transmit presidential orders to the
armies abroad.
At the war department, spokes-
men interpreted the change as an
official recognition of an accom-
plished fact. 1t was pointed out that
field commanders already had been
appointed; General Eisenhower in
Europe, General Macarthur in Aus
tralia, General Emmons in Hawaii,
General Dewitt in the West and
General Drumm on the East coast.

clared.
When the peak of the load comes
in mid-September, he said, busses
and street cars will be carrying 40
per cent more passengers than
year ago. For the most part this
will be due to curtailment of private
automobile use and the increasing
demands of war workers.

GOVERNMENT CRITICISM
IN WARTIME
WE AMERICANS find it hard to
imagine frank and open criticism of
government in England, when the
nation is at war. That is the Eng
lish way that has been in vogue for
more than a century. During the
days of World War I, listened to
the brayings of soap-box orators
around Trafalgar square, the gath
ering place Of the critics and the dis
contented. English hobbies were
there in numbers, but they made no
effort to stop the harangues. The
orators could condemn and view
with alarm anything and everything,
so long as they did not advise vio-
lence for the overthrow of the gov
eminent. Any talk of guns and
bombs as a means of remedying
conditions was not permitted. The
English are willing that the agita-
tors should talk as means of keep
ing them out in the open and per-
hitting them to let off steam. They
do not fear the effect of what such
people may say, but do not want
them conspiring under ground. Ira
falgar square is a paradise for the
"woolies" and the 'wobblies," for all
who have a panacea to offer for
what they consider social ills. 1t is
the open air free show of London in
war time, as well as in peace time.
