WASHINGTON, April a 49,
The story goes that ever since
the announcement Of General
MocArthur's Escape from the
Philippines, the boys on b.
tcon and Correoidor have been
catching double doses Of ev-
erything the Jops had to throw
or drop. Allowing Macarthur

regain foce they had to tight

heoved it before.
What wos good news to the
United Stotes and Australia
therefore became increasing
punishment for our forces on
the islands. Maybe this ham,
merine would have come any
way, even if Macarthur had
been kept at his original post,
but with O frightened block

tiles Of relief ore Just thot
much more remote.
The reasons for getting
Macarthur out Of the Philip
pines we're two. First, he wos
the best general and the
logical choice for suprem.
command in the southwest
Pacific. Second, the civilian
morale Of the Australians and
the Americans - the common
people back home - had TO
be bucked up. It was done by
giving them q hero.
The question arises as TO
whether the first, which wos
more important, could have
been done without the second.
Whether Macarthur cou d
have assumed command in

not. 1t wos too good and too

HOLLYWOOD, April 1.-The
movie scripters, chatting in the
isolation of their dream world,
are doing their best these days
TO put excitement into the new
pictures. Not only is there action
in romance, but generally note
of violence in the initial boy
meetS-g girl situations.
Consider the first meeting of
Paulette Goddard and Fred Mac
Murray in The Forest Rangers. y
He arrives in town during a
Frontier Days parade. Miss God
dard, riding in a dude cowgirl
outfit, is thrown from a buckinG
horse, lands on MacMurray and
knocks him spraWling. That S
their introduction. A few min
uteS later they're lasSocd and
hauled up on float representing
a jail, and the judge orders Fred
to propose. BY evening they re
looking for a real judge to marry
them.
Some day perhaps daring
writer will bring his hero and he
roine together with a formal in
PRODUCTION: Miss Doakes, may |

however, it's much more conVen-
tional to have Mr.. Zilch drift out
Of the sky on a parachute and
settle neatly beside Miss Doakes
as she speeds along in an open
roadster.
HE WHO GETS SLAPPED
At the very least, the man
should get his face slapped at
first ecquaintancc-aS in Par

a scnd-off party by his nu-
merous gal friends before
he starts on a yacht race. He
kisses EN- all goodby, but when
he kisses Virginia Bruce, whom
he never had met before, she
hauls off and knocks him spin

edge that Macarthur is IN
Australia, than they would be
by the belief that he wos still
the strong man holding them
up in the Philippines?
All such questions ore
posers, but they ore the stuff
this psychological warfare IS
woeed with, and the amateur
psychologists in this country
ore almost os numerous as the
armchair generals and the
fireside odmiroIs.
Where this subject really
touches home is in determin-
ing just how we'll the Ameri-
can civilian population can go
through q war without having
its morale bucked up every SO
often by some shot in the arm
like an announcement OF
MocArthur's Escape from the
Philippines.
Can the American people al
home back up the ormed
forces without knowing every
thing the Army is doing ond
why2 Without knowing Where
is the tIeet?" Without know
ing all the tocts and figures
about how many oirpIones and

Without knowing how many

A prize fighter who teIe-

liver the unexpected sock on

er who is the knockee insteod
Of the knocked out at the end
Of the fight.
In over simple parallel.
thot is the reason for the mill
tory secret.
There is apparently one
segment Of the American pub
IIc which feels that the mill
tory secret is on attempt on
the port Of the Army bright
stors ond the Navy brood
stripes to cover up something
wrong. The people who think
this ore the ones who feel
they should have every contem-
plated punch Of the general
stoff wired right home to them
for their own information, Just
as soon os the decision Of the
high command is made.
Before this mans war is
over, q lot Of would-be know
it-oIIs will have to reconcile
themselves to doing their as
signed bits and getting along
without having their morale
stimulated by full knowledge
Of every move Macarthur
makes. This may be censor

ones constitutional rights.

CONSCIENCE AND COUNTRY


scientious objector dramatically forces
itself upon on America at war, Lew
Ayres, popular and accomplished octor,
GOES to an Oregon camp to cut timber
o;,d cleor underbrush rather than man
q oun in the hour Of his countrys greet
est peril,
Ayres' profession Of folth reads as
the word Of q sincere man VINO mas long
Wondered what he we'll realizes moy
ruin his career. We have no reason to
doubt his sincerity Americans, how
ever. NAV we'll doubt his reasoning.
I'm nv opinion, we will never stop
wars until we individually cease fight
ina them and that is what | intend to
d." Ayres explained. The first port OF
that statement may be true, but now
oppy it to the Japanese oirTen who
bombed Pearl Horbor? How apply 1t to
the German ponzer troops who overron
Poland and made people Of that notion
Subject" roce?
Would Ayres have retired to his
California mountoin-top home, lItteo
not finger come invasion and cheer-
fuIIv been ossimiIoted into NipPon's
co-prosperity sphere or HItlers New
Order? These deoIogies certainly must
be as repulsive to Ayres os is war itself
Some may come to the defense OF
the actor with Samuel Johnson's 'Po-
triotism is the lost refuge Of scoun-
dreI" or George Bernard Show's you'll
never have q quiet world until you
knock patriotism out Of the human
roce." But, in rebuttol Coto held that
"ove of country is more potent than
reason ITSELF, while Thomas Jefferson
sold my affections first are tor my
own country, and then, generally for
all mankind" Lord Byron felt that
"he who loves not his country can love
nothing"
Fortunately, few must choose be-
tween the dictates Of their Consciences
and love Of their native lana. Usually
the two ore entirely compatible. Lew
Ayres found it otherwise, and in one
respect it must be admitted his decision
may have taken as much courage as q
soldier needs in the foce Of enemy fire.
But such couroge as Ayres' does not win
wars and thot happens to be the big
job
The answer to conscientious ObjeC-
tors and those who ore too Iozy or too
Indifferent to do their port lies in the
type Of enemy we face. This is no War
Of the Spanish Succession where ornies
bottled under codes Of honor, and the
loser knew nothing would be lost but q
rev acres Of territory. Our enemies in
this war not only want our resources;
they hate and would destroy our way Of
life.
If thot way Of life is not worth fight
ing for, it most certainly is not worth
the energy we expend in peace time to
keep it functioning It isn't worth hov-
ing at all, if it means SO little we would
see it crushed rather than sacrifice TO
sove it. Most Of us soy: ut is better to
die on your feet than to live on your
knees."

OF SEA LOSSES
PEOPLE Given Hint All Not

Midway

NEW YORK, June g. R The
Japanese people were being told
guardedly today that they must be
able to Withstand the news of naval
losses, and competent propaganda
analysts saw in this significant
indication that the Tokyo govern
ment is preparing to announce
some of it's heavy reverses in the
battle of Midway.
With Japan generally in COM
plete ignorance of this great and
destructive engagement at sea, the
big Tokyo newspaper Asahi came
out with an article by an unidenti
fled admiral which not only ex
pounded the theory that I'VE can't
win all the time,' but also dipped
into history to show that the JAP
anese navy can take it,"
This article was broadcast by
radio Berlin, not by radio Tokyo,
and shortly thereafter the German
broadcasters were reminding their
listeners that complete silence is
still preserved in Tokyo on h e

quarters to have taken place off

Vessel Opens Fire On
Sub; Hit Coming Tower

AN EAST COAST PORT, June 9.
-LP)-Survivor of a medium sized
Norwegian merchant vessel, tor
pedoed and sunk several days ago
off the southern Atlantic coast, told
today of a gun battle with the un-
dersea craft in which they fired six
shells and scored at least one hit,
which apparently did little damage.
The Norwegian vessel was struck
by a torpedo about 2:30 ?. m.
tEWT). AS the ship listed. the gun
crew rushed aft and opened fire at
the submarine which was on the sur
face about a mile and a half to port.
AS one of the shots hit the SUBJ
marine aft of the coming tower, the
survivors said, loud cheers went up
from the crew of the merchant ship.
Two more shells were fired by the
ships crew and then the vessel had
to be abandoned.
The submarine submerged as the
crew of the merchantmen took off
in three life-boats. After the life
boats were in the water, a second
torpedo struck the merchant vessel

Huge Rubber Collection
Campaign To Be Started

WASHINGTON, June 9. -tR "A
nationwide campaign to collect
scrap rubber was announced today
by President Roosevelt. The chief
executive set no date for the drive,
but expressed the hope that it
could be started shortly and COM
pleted two weeks after it was in
augurated.
He indicated there would be no
expansion of the present eastern
seaboard gasoline rationing at
least until after the results of the
campaign were known. National
gasoline rationing has been sug-
gested in some quarters as meas
ure to conservatives, possibly
starting around mid-July.
One of the major problems in
volved in the current gasoline-rub-
ber situation, the President told
his press conference is the fact
that there are no accurate esti-
mates on the amount of scrap rub
Der available.
The only way to ascertain the
quantity, he con n ued, was

First Fatal Accident To
Lighter -Than-Air Ships
In Last 9 Years
FALL INTO ATLANTIC
Both On Experimental
Missions Involving
Some Hazard

LAKEHURST, N. j.. June e.-(R
The nations first fatal blimp ac-
cident in nine years was logged
today as one of its worst when
rescue boats found only one sur
vivor among 13 men aboard two
lighter-than-air ships which collid-
ded and fell into the Atlantic.
Both blimps were engaged in a
secret experiment when tn Y
plunged into the ocean late last
night.
The training ship CT apparently
carried to the bottom all eight men
in its cabin. The one man rescued
today was from a smaller training
craft, the L-2. Bodies of three of
the other four men aboard this air
ship were taken from its tangled
but floating wreckage.
Determination of tn e cause
awaited appointment of Naval
board of inquiry. The Naval air
station here, where the blimps
were stationed, SAID only that they
collided while "engaged in an ex-
perimental mission involving snme
hazard"
Five of the dead and missing
were civilian scientists or techni-
clans; the rest were Navy person
mel, two of them prominent aero
nauts.
The survivor was Ensign How

BY sheer weight of numbers the
Russians said the Germans blasted

Twenty-four German tanks were

Under siege seven months, the
defenders of Sevastopol have been
subjected to series of extremely
vigorous assaults for five days by
planes, tanks and infantry in what
appeared to be an all-out German
assault. But nowhere was there a
sign of wavering in the Russian
lines.
Tonight's communique said the
Soviet defenders were h olding
firm against the enemy onslaughts
and were moving down the Ger
mans in enormous numbers.
Upward of $4,000 picked German
troops already had died before
Sevastopol since last fall, and the
toll mounted swiftly by the hour,

clared. THAT time will come. 1t

Let the Nazis take good note
