Manhattan Foxhole Hit
as Place TO Decide
By HENRY McLEMORE

IRON a foxhole in Manhattan:
u We have just read an edi-
torial in Yank. the soldiers
newspaper, that demanded the
immediate opening of a second
front.
I'VE were brought here to
fight" the editorial said, in a
fine display of bravery.
The writer of the editorial did
not file his copy from Dieppe or
from the Sol mon Islands,
though. He was sitting COM
fortably behind his typewriter
at 205 East Forty-second street,
and in great danger of earning
a wound stripe, because his
portable was not resting firmly
on the table.
Whoever that unSung hero OF
East Forty-second street was, l
have a bunch that he was
brought 10 Yank from one of
the army's numerous public re-
lations Offices, for he showed
the true public relations spirit,
which, in the words of Wimpy,
are:
Lets you and him fight,
HAVE heard senator's, lower
i case congressman and men in
air-cooled cafeterias demand, not
merely ask for. the second front.

let them decide when the time
for spilling it has arrived.

agree that the right minute has
come, ii will be Berlin, Here |
Come for a lot OF guys who
won't be marching home 10 sit

i doubt that the hero of East
Forty-Second street is the right
man to call the turn. He's
playing with somebody else's
chips.

pose of the canard that I got
this material by tapping Peglers

We went 10 see some soldiers
the other night who weren't
screaming for second front.
They are the boys who are
starring-and every last one of
them is starring-in our Uncle
Broadway show, This Is the
Army"
This is the show that was
written by ex-Sgt. Irving Berlin.
and we want 10 tell you that we
haven't heard a blase Broadway
audience stand up and cheer in
a long time the way this audi
ence did the other night when
Berlin's lean body was unveiled
as the curtains parted for his
specialty-"Oh. How ! Hate 10
Get Up in the Morning"

New Deals
Union Tieup
Analysed
Dues System Protected
Yields Campaign Funds
By wEsTBROOK PEGLER

BY WESTBROOK PEGLER
I EFT me see If I can explain
~ how New Dealism is work
ing now in the matter of rakeoff
from the war.
The incident at Cape Girar-
deau, Mo-, where a storm of
union brown shirts came over
from Illinois TO help the little
local unions collect a tribute of
SIS each from men working on
the fuel pipeline TO the East, is a
little dramatic, but not out OF
line.
l mean the process is just rou-
tine.
This is how ii goes:
The unions are the political
wards of the New Deal. Just as
they were. with all their faults
and Fascist controls of men and
jobs, they were adopted by the
national government and given
outrageous powers under gov
eminent protection through the
so-called Wagner Act and the
labor policy OF the administra-
ton.
They were made political
agencies of the New Deal and
their vices were either defended
or minimized.
DEING political wards OF the
- New Deal. the unions natur-
ally will contribute money TO the
New Deals campaign funds.
They have an in come Of
1000 million dollars year.
which they are not legally re-
quired 10 account for.
Great gobs Of this money lie
under the hands of individuals
such as John L. Lewis and the
mine workers or little groups Of
high union politicians calling
themselves executive councils
and the like.
Lewis has habit of throwing
around hundreds OF thousands Of
dollars of the mine workers
dues for political purposes. and
not long ago the national gov
erning body OF the teamsters
went into a huddle and an
nounced they had decided 10
spend as much money as might
be necessary TO elect New Deal
ers this year.
THIS money includes fees and
Il dues collected from lot OF
people who are not teamsters by
any stretch OF imagination but
clerks, even girls, who were
forced 10 join the teamsters'
union and were pretty sore about
IL and are against the union and
its political connections.
On most OF the war jobs the
New Deal has given the unions
the right 10 stick up or shake
down practically all workers. in
GLIDING even farmers engaged
for pick-and-shovel or hammer
and-saw jobs. for initiation fees.
transfer fees and dues
Some Of the ads In the~paperS
run by the government own
employment service have frankly
said men applying for jobs would
have 10 present union cards.
Even though labor was ur-
gently needed a man couldn't
help his country on a war con-
struction Job unless he paid a
very substantial amount 10 some

less imposing size.
Though few particulars Of the
u. S. s. Iowa have been released
1t Is known that she crosses IS 900
tons and is armed with nine 16-inch
guns and exceptional armor pro-
| lection. She Is said to have been
designed for very high speed, un-
officially reported as IS knots.
The United States has five more
vessels of the same class ordered,
but only three-the New Jersey,
Missouri and Wisconsin-are ex-
| pected to be finished at the present
time. Work on the other two, the
Illinois and Kentucky, is likely to
be suspended so that more labor
and material may be made avail
| able for building aircraft carriers.
For the same reason, work on the
still bigger battleships, the Mon
tana, Ohio, Maine, New Hampshire
and Louisiana-all of $4,000 tons
is being held up indefinitely.
Air Striking Power Vital.
That is a matter of high signifi-
canoe, and an imposing demonstra-
ton of how strategic considerations
are apt to overthrow a construction
program and impose new scale of
pirorities. For the first months of
hostilities revealed the importance of
air striking power in naval warfare.

first be given the weapons they need
to achieve air supremacy over the
air power of the Japanese Navy.
Despite treaty restrictions, neither
Pacific power neglected AIRCRAFT
carriers In the years following the
last war. Now the United States
! has not only decided to give them
priority over battleships in con-
struction, but six battle cruisers OF
$1,000 tons-the Alaska, Guam, Ha-
waii, Philippines, Puerto Rico and
Samoa-will be completed as air
craft carriers, besides a portion of
the 10000-ton cruisers OF the Cleve-
land class, OF which there are 80
| available.
1t is hardly necessary to reiterate
the truth which each major naval
operation OF this war has Illus
trated-that to multiply surface
ships is vain unless you can cover
them IN the air. A glance at some
OF the notable engagements shows
impressively what the fleet air arm
has done to decide the day for the
Royal Navy. Aircraft carriers have
always been In the picture and there
have been days when Goebbels
would have given his right ear to
know the whereabouts OF the Ark
Royal.
When the French battleship Dun
kerque was torpedoed at Oran It
was the Ark Royal which provided
the planes, and the Hermes sent
her aircraft against the Richelieu
at Dakar in July, 1910. 1t was the
fleet air arm which delivered the
brilliant attack on the italians at
Taranto in the following Novem-
Der, when the battleship Conte di
Cavour was sunk at its moorings and
two others crippled, and a number of
cruisers and less important ships
severely damaged.
Japs Profit by Taranto.
The victory of Cape Matapan in
March, 1911, when three heavy
cruisers and three destroyers Of the
Italian fleet were lost, with no
losses to our side, would never have
been achieved II 1t had not been for
naval aircraft from H. M. s. For
midable. BY series OF torpedo
attacks they retarded tho enemy 30
that our battle squadron could come
into action.
In the pursuit of the Bismarck In
| May, 1941, damage was inflicted by
Evening star., 1942-09-14

torpedo planes from the Victorious
and Ark Royal, which slowed her up
so that the King George v could
overtake her before she reached
Brest.
In the Pacific 1t has been only
too plain that the Japanese have
assimilated the moral of the Taran-
to attack. They launched torpedoes
from the blue on the feet at Pearl
Harbor and later destroyed the
Prince of Wales and Repulse off
Malaga by air attacks. In that en-
terprise, however, their squadrons
had land airports close by.
The reliance on aircraft carriers
in general engagement brought the
Japs heavy losses and it would not
be going too far to estimate the
severity of their defeats in the Coral
Sea and off Midway Island by the
extent of the damage suffered by
their naval air arm.
In the Coral Sea the United
States destroyed Japan's new 10000
ton carrier, the Ryukaku, and heav-
lily damaged her sister ship, the
Syokaku. Though the outmoded
American carrier Lexington caught
fire and was subsequently lost, the
Japanese withdrew in confusion.
Each War Brings Lessons.
An even more notable action was
that off Midway last June. The
Japanese intended to repeat the
Pearl Harbor surprise, but their
fleet approached Midway only to be
received by a combined onslaught
from United States naval and Army
aircraft. The enemy losses included
their largest aircraft carriers, the
Akagi and Kaga, both 26.900-ton
vessels. Two smaller carriers, the
10,000-ton Soryu and Hiryu, and a
couple Of cruisers were also lost. In
comparison, the United States forces
came of lightly, with only one de-
stroyer sunk and an aircraft car
rier disabled.
I have said that each war brings
its own lessons. During the Crimean
War the admiralty learned that
steam power must prevail over sail,
that warships must be armored and
that guns mounted on turrets null
tiplied a ships firing power. In the
last war the submarine came into
It's own and anti submarine meth
ods developed on an extraordinary
scale. In this war, new methods
have been developed and new de-
vices brought into action.
Aircraft carriers were evolved
during the last war, and technically
the first ship deserving that de-
scription was the former Cunard
liner Campania. AS an experiment
she was converted as a carrier. Her
flight deck was very limited and her
service not extensive, for she was
lost in collision in November
1918. BY then two new models were
In service-H. M. S. Furious, 22,45C
tons, completed in 1917, with 160-
foot forward flight deck, and the
slower H. M. S. Argus, of 14,00C
tons, converted from mercantile
hull in 1918. BY the end of the wal
the Furious had been improved
by the addition of another flight
deck aft, 800 feet long. 1t speaks
well for the soundness of the gen.
eral design of these two craft that
both, though much modified ir
detail, are still fighting with the
British feet.
One effect of the interdependence
Of sea and air operations has been
the necessity Of providing surface
ships with full defense against ali
attack. For capital ships it has
meant . much thicker horizontal
armor to guard against the pene-
tration Of vital spaces, while anti
aircraft armament had to be aug

1t is carried In astonishing strength.
There are a number of ships In
service armed solely with high
angle guns, such as the popular
Dido class cruisers t5,450 tons) i,
which have proved a great success
In the Mediterranean.
A significant change In design In
this connection has been seen in
destroyers, which have now had
some or all torpedo tubes taken out
In order to mount anti-aircraft guns
This change has not been disad-
vantageous, for torpedoes are now
usually launched either from the
air or from submarines.

We are making good the enemy's
advantage over us In these craft
earlier In the war. The monitors
revived In 1915 for coastal bonn
bardment proved OF value in the
Libyan campaign. Minesweeping,
owing to the fresh complications Of
magnetic acoustic mines laid by
aircraft, absorbed surprising
amount of personnel and tonnage,
and, as a result. it is only OCCASION
ally that a ship is now sunk or
damaged by mine. The ubiqui-
tous trawler found countless other
uses besides minesweeping and 9TH
er new ships of specialized design
have been built.
Structural changes in warships

press. are now flying the white en-

Corvette Has Advantage.
Convoy problems of the present
war have developed the corvette,
possessing advantages over the con-
voy sloops of the last war in handi-

speed of building. The coastal mo-
