r HAVE followed the policies
of your papers since our entry
into the war with . great deal
of interest and approval. ! envy
the power for public service your
vast organization gives you for
the direction of public thought
and the building of public morale.
In q total war no army II any
stronger than the nation that sup
ports 1t and the outcome OF this
war Will be determined as much
by the heroIsm, courage and Sac
rifice on the civilian battle front
here at home rs by the heroism,
courage and sacrifice on the part
of our armed forces abroad.
Were I In q position to direct or
mold public thought I would write
necessarily upon two general
themes.
First, I would try to bring home
to the average citizen the fun Inn
plications of total war. In spite
of the tremendous effort that b
being generated In every part Of
our Land and the high level Of
public morale, too many of our
people stIli refuse TO accept the
brutal fact that everything we
have or are or hope to be Is ut
stake.
We will emerge from the con-
hict either as free men In n free
world, or as the economic slaves
Of q brutal dictator. There Is no
sanctuary In between, this Is
war in which the winner takes
all. What kind of citizens are
they who stiIl hope for business
as usual" who still play partisan
politics, who want peace time
hours of labor, but war time
wages and overtime, when the
total surrender of liberty of labor
and of life itself may be the price
of victory?
Second, I would try to encour-
age now, sane plans for recon-
struction after the war. Recon-
struction because q new world
order will have to rise from the
ashes OF the old world economic
and social structures No govern
ment, even our own, can long sur
vive IL Il fails to meet and solve
the economic and social chaos
that IL the aftermath Of war. The
battle strategy for peace must be
determined now; we must organ
lie our people for peace now; we
must marshal our resources now,
for all the sacrifice we are MAX
ing will avail us little n we win
the war and lose the peace.
We are fighting for the liberties

He forced Southwell across the

her son, Carl Jr. and a friend.
THIS Is BUSINESS
When she smiled at them, one
of the men said:

Mrs. Weideman screamed. and
Southwell. who was armed, struck
her with the gun.
Weideman. who was in an up

Five ships were announced
sunk in seas both near and far
yesterday but two more struck
back and returned to tell their
stories.
A small Norwegian freighter
steamed into an Eastern Canadian
port with undisputable proof that
it bested a submarine-the subma-
rine's survivors. A United Fruit
banana ship, the Atenas, reached a
Gulf Coast port with the jubilant
report that an Axis submarine was
probably sunk and another fright
ened of in its voyage.
The Norwegian ships victory was
announced by the Norwegian In
formation Bureau in Montreal but
no details were given. 1t was
merely announced that the U-boat's
survivors are now prisoners of war
in Canada.
The AtenaS exploit was announced
a week ago from Costa Rica where
the ship touched but crew men,
bers yesterday gave added details.
When the first submarine was
sighted the captain signaled to the
gun crew and five shots were fired
two scoring hits. Nine hours later
second submarine opened fire on
the vessel but the gun crew an
sWered. When 1t heard the shot.
the submarine crash dived and
nothing more was seen of it.
The United States Navy an
nounced that in the Atlantic a
medium sized United States mer-

Brazil and a medium sized British
ship met similar fate about 200

Best Season for Operations.


Several factors suggest that ia
pan, in consistently attaching i'm
portance to her operations in the
Aleutians, is trying to do more than
save face:
l. Checked in the Coral Sea-
where she is reduced to submarine
warfare and occasional air raids on
Port Moresby. and decisively routed
at Midway, she is obliged to turn in
new direction.
2. This is about the season when
conditions are at their best in the
Aleutian area.
3. Despite the sinking of at least
18 Of her warships, including at
least three aircraft carriers and the
damaging of 27 others in the Coral
Sea and of Midway. she still can
muster formidable battleforce for
important activities in any one
chosen direction. Despite her
smashing defeat at Midway she
managed to haul her damaged ships
out Of reach of our battleforce.
Aleutians Threat to Japan
4. japanese militarists have long
been acutely conscious that Alaska
and the Aleutians along the great
circle route" are among the most
likely bases for the eventual United
States counterof1ensive direct at
Toxic.
S. Since April l3, when Gen.
Jimmy Doolittle's B-25's zoomed
past, Toxic has been more than
ever aware Of the danger OF air
raids from the Aleutian direc-
ton
s. If Japan's militarists have
determined upon two-front
war against Russia to match the
Heralded two-front Allied war on
Germany, they know American
bombers soon will be flying along
the Aleutians to Soviet mari
time bases ready to give Jap
anese cities a terrific going over.
7. The season is rapidly ap-
preaching when Russia may be
looking to the northern sea route
past Alaska and into the Arctic
as a line of supply at time
when Hitler is exerting his
strongest pressure on the sea
lanes north of Norway. Jap
anese listening posts and raiding
bases in the Aleutians might
cut this route.

So effective was the Sevastopol

Extremely fierce fighting was re-
ported on the Soviet extreme left
flank, where the Sevastopol defense
system, Is miles deep, extends down
to the sea.
The Moscow Radio said Axis at
tacks were hurled back yesterday
and today.
The Russian Army newspaper,
Red Star, reported the Germans
made three successive assaults on a
northern Sevastopol sector, ending
each with hand-to-hand combat,
but failed to advance a step. Four
more enemy attacks in a nearby
sector, supported this time by ar
tillery, also had an equal lack Of
success. reports said.
A narrow strip of land little more
than mile wide was the target of
900 assaults by German planes In
their tremendous effort to crack
open the Sevastopol defense, Rus
sian reports said. But these ac-
counts added that the Russians held
their ground and inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy.

Schools Asked to Help.
OPA said John w. Studebaker,
Commissioner of Education, had re-
quested school superintendents in
the States affected by rationing to
organize staffs OF volunteer regis
trars for the new gasoline books to
replace teachers unavailable during
the summer months.
The registrars will issue only the
"A" coupon books, each containing
48 coupons Automobile owners
who feel the basic ration-OPA
officials have said that each coupon
would be good for about 4 gallons
of gasoline-is not sufficient to meet
their driving needs must apply to
local rationing boards for supple
mental allowances.
The boards. OPA said, will be
prepared to receive such applica-
tions at any time between July l
and July IS when the permanent
rationing plan goes into effect.
Local school administrators will
designate buildings to be used as
registration points and, with local
rationing boards, will adjust gen.
eral registration rules to special cir
cumstances within different COM
munities.
No d. C. Plans Made.
Lawson j. Cantrell. assistant su-
perintendent of District schools, who
was in charge of the first registra-
ton in May, said last night that ne
had not been informed officially of
the date and had made no plans
so far.
Meanwhile, Harry Wainwright.
president of the Retail Gasoline
Dealers of Washington, said that
dealers in this area are anxious for
further clarifying information on
the July IS rationing plan, fearing
that it may result in price wars.
He pointed out that officials have
not revealed whether the Govern
ment will continue its present p1ac-
tice of allowing stations a supply
amounting to so per cent of their
normal sales.
II the gas control program con-
templates rationing only through
ration cards without any limitation
on dealers supplies. some stations
might resort to price cutting to get
business, Mr.. Wainwright said.
Minimum Price Suggested.
An alternative to curtailment of
dealer supplies. he suggested. would
be the establishment of minimum
price levels.

earlier. the OPA said holders of
rationing cards under the current
system would be entitled to a double
quantity of gas for each coupon

Asked If this had resulted in any
slackening of sales this week end,
Mr. Wainwright said the few sta
tions he checked reported slow
business early yesterday but a full
quota of sales by the end of the day.

piration date.
Rubber materials sought include
rubber tires and tubes, rubber heels
and soles, boots, rubber shoes. over
shoes, tennis shoes, bath mats, hot
water bottles, rubber gloves, bottle
nipples. bathing caps. tire beads,
rubberized clothing, raincoats. bath
Ing shoes, solid truck tires, buffings,
garden hose, lawn hose, stair mats,
jar rings, baby carriage wheels, fly
swatters, rubber stamps, plumbers
suction cups, rubber toys and the
like, regardless of age.
Original plans for the local drive
were predicated on donation of the
rubber by the citizen through the
accepted charity collection agencies,
Mr.. Walker said, but under recent
changes citizens will have an op-
portunity to sell the scrap until
June 30. After that date, Mr..
Walker explained, only donations
will be taken in at the depots.
Between tomorrow and the end
of the month, he continued, the
citizen wishing to sell the rubber at
one cent a pound can take his rub
ber to a gasoline dealer or service
station displaying an official poster.
The citizen wishing to donate the
rubber should do so at any OF the
other designated depots.
Certainly the citizens of our city
will not let the President down in
his earnest appeal to bend every
effort toward the success of the spe-
'cial rubber drive" Mr.. Walker de-
clared.
He said the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association was not in
cluded In the original conferees on
the rubber program but had been
added through the interest of Rich
ard Murphy, secretary of the asso-
citation.
Attending tomorrow's conference
with the Commissioners, Mr.. Walker
said, will be James E. Collifower,
general chairman of salvage; A. H.

Industry War Council, and T. J..

Massed Air Assaults
Would Crush Nazis,
Norris Declares
Second Front in Europe
Not Needed for Victory,
Senotor Contends
Hx tht Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
Continuous night and day
bombing of Germany by maSsed
American and British air fleets
was advocated yesterday by Sem
ator Norris, Independent, Of Ne
braska, who said he was con-
vinced the Nazis might thus be
brought to their knees without
a land invasion of Europe.
Differing with those advocating
establishment of second land
front as early as practicable, the
veteran Nebraska Senator said he
could see no reason why Germany
could not be reduced to military
impotency by sustained, smashing
aerial attacks at her plane fac
tories, transportation systems and
industrial centers while the Nazi
Armies were heavily engaged with
the Russians.
A White House statement Thurs
day said that the United States,
Great Britain and Russia had
reached full understanding on the
urgent tasks Of creating a second
front this year. This was fol-
lowed yesterday by announcement
of the landing of additional Ameri-
can troops in Ireland, fully equipped
for offensive action.
Would Keep Troops in Reserve.
But Senator Norris insisted these
troops might be held in reserve and
used only for "mopping up" opera
tions on the continent if mass
aerial attacks were made continu-
ously.
Il know that some military men
SAY you can't conquer a nation by
bombings alone" he told reporters,
, but because it hasn't been done in
+. the past Is no sure criterion that
1t cannot be done in the future.
If our bombers could destroy even
) one city a week as the British de-
stroyed Cologne, I don't believe 1t
would be long before Germany COL
lapsed"
. A massed assault of this nature,
Senator Norris said, probably would
call for the dispatching of from
1000 to 5000 heavy bombers on a
night raid, followed by an equal
number on day raid, thus keeping
the attack going continuously. He
said he was confident sufficient fly
ers, planes, landing fields and facil-
tiles could be maintained for such
an undertaking.
Clark and Hill Disagree.
While Senator Norris saw no
necessity for establishing a second
land front, Senators Clark, Demo-
crat. of Missouri, and Hill, Demo-
crat, OF Alabama disagreed.
Senator Clark, an Army staff
officer in the last war, said he
thought large-scale bombings would
affect Germany's morale and pro-
duction capacity greatly, but added:
Its the boy with the bayonet
who conquers territory"
Senator Hill said it seemed i'm
pllclt that second front would
nave to be established, but he, like
others, cautioned against any action
OF this nature until the United Ma
tlons were fully prepared to cope
with the So German divisions he
said were reported to be maintained
IN the occupied countries Of Europe
I'VE have got to have a second
front. though, before we win this
war" he declared.
