Spangler said he came here
principally to expand and reor-
ganize national headquarters
key departments such as re-
search. publicity, and finance.
Although he was not prepared
to discuss new appointments yet,
the chunky Iowan indicated a
permanent chairman would be
sought for the finance commit
tee which, in the last campaign
had headquarters in New York
under Sam Pettengill, former
Anti New Deal Democratic
Congressman from Indiana.
He also is looking for a full
time" publicity man. Clarence
Burlington Kelland, author and
National Committeeman for Ar
iona, has bees doubling up as
executive director and publicity
chief. Spangler said he expected
"for the time being anyway to
get along without an executive
director, a job created more
than a year ago to permit the
former committee charm a n,
Rep. Joseph w. Martin, of Mass,
to attend to his floor leadership
duties in the N)use.
Now that Martin has resigned
to spend all his time at the cap
itol and Spangler intends to de-
vote most all his time to the
craftsmanship, the need for an
executive director has lessened,
the IoWan said.

GRAINS OF TRUTH
WITHIN THE PROPAGANDA

Of the two prevalent propaganda re-
ports-the one predicting an imminent
United Nations offensive and the other
telling how the Axis has gone on the de-
fensive-we are inclined to believe that
the former might contain the most truth.
A United Nations offensive, in fact, is
only matter of time, as we all know.
The only question is, how long time?
1t is extremely unlikely. however, that
Germany and Japan will adopt purely
defensive tactics in the near future. They
cannot afford to do so. If they win,
they've got to win soon, for their strength
wanes each day that passes, while our
strength grows The Axis has absolutely
nothing to gain from a defensive war.
It will lose everything, beyond any shad-
dow of a doubt, if it attempts to fight
that kind of war.
If you remember, the hints of defensive
preparations by the Axis did not start
until after the United Nations offensive
reports were we'll under way. That fact
alone seems to indicate an oppOrtunlsm
among Axis opagandists-they saw
chance to lull the enemy to sleep with
his own words.
There are so many possibilities that
it is impossible to know the intent of
the propaganda, either from our own
side or the other side We can do only
one thing: remember that the words of
our leaders, when publicly spoken, are
spoken as much to our enemy as to our
selves, and may be cOlored by that fact
with a purpose which, while not now
clear. nevertheless is intended to help us
to victory in the end

WONT ASK HIM

(San Francisco Chronicle)
Mahatma Gandhi is still for passive
resistance, in principle, even against the
Japanese though he would not interfere,
in practice, with others resisting by force,
once the invaders had arrived on the soil
of India Personally, of course, he would
sit still and let them kill him, if neces-
sary to carry out his principles. lndivid-
ually, that is his privilege, and it is at
least arguable that, by this vicarious
sacrifice, he might be rendering historic
service.
But, as a practical matter, Gandhi also
argues that the Indian peoples could even
stop the invaders, not by doing anything
to them, but by doing nothing; refusing
them even water. All of which merely
shows how little Gandhi knows about the
Japanese army.

FASHION CYCLES
{ Nevada State JOurnaD

Nevada State JournaD
Fashion experts are cOngratulating
themselves and the women of America
for what they claim is a rare piece of
luck. 1t appears that fashions have been
known to rLil in three and four-year
cycles and that the ladies have been in
a slim silhouette" cycle for several
months and were destined to continue
it for at least three or four years. The
slim silhouette fits in beautifully with
the war production boards restrictions
recently announced.
Discussing the slim silhouette fash
ion writer described the changing styles
as follows:
1T is pointed out that modern dress
for women began in 1900. Grandmothers
of today will remember the period of
1900 to 1908 and its picturesque full
Gibson Girl silhouette. That was fol-
lowed by the straight slim silhouette
of l90S-11 Then the cycle turned to
the full silhouette but in 1921 the pen
dulum swung back again to the slim
which bore the colorful name, chinese
like Silhouette that was in vogue for
four years.
"The next Is years saw transitions
from short skirts and flares to narrow
and then back again to fullness. At the
turn of this decade the gradual trend
was toward the style of today.
Fashion designers will continue to
create new apparel as lovely and intrigu-
ing as ever. No two designers, given
length of cloth, would produce the same
model from it. These styles will be COM
pletely interpretive of fashions recur-
ring cycle and at the same time cooper
ative with the country's needs of the mo-
ment Women should not be alarmed
at the term frozen Fashions of fullness
have been frozen for five long years. A
welcome cycle of slimness was overdue

ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN :
AND SOMETHING WILL

If you think the war of nerves phase
is past in this world conflict think again.
again
There's never been a more intense war
of nerves under way than there is right
now, and recognizing it for what it is
will help us immeasurably to accept
whatever stupendous developments are
in the making. Failing to recognize it,
on the other hand, may lead to bitter
disappointment if our expectations go
unfulfilled.
Have you noticed the increasing en-
phasis among United Nations spokesman
on an impending Allied offensive?
Did you read Moscow's report that
nine-tenths of the German army is now
occupied in Russia?
Were you impressed by Japanese Pre-
mier Tojo's warning to his people to
tighten their belts" and prepare to re-
sist attack in the homeland?
Are you sensitive to continuing reports
and discussions of Adolf Hitler's ''inde-
cision" as to his next step?
The whole shape of things, judging
by all these widely prevalent reports,
seems to indicate a forthcoming United
Nations offensive on major scale, and
a purely defensive program by the Axis
powers on all fronts.
Don't be fooled Remember, wartime
propaganda is q subtle thing, issued for
subtle reasons.
We do not say that there will not be a
big United Nations offensive in the i'm
mediate future We hope devoutly that
there is. We do not say that the Axis
is not going on the defensive. Again, we
hope it is. But we can't help thinking
that:
Worldwide nublicitv might have been
given to United Nations statements pre-
dieting an early offensive in order to in
fluence the enemy to concentrate more
troops on certain fronts and less troops
on others, weakening the Axis offensive
punch.
Equally wide publicity might have
been given by the Axis to reports of being
on the defensive in order to hide plans
for some new aggressive campaign.
