PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
OBJECT TO CUTTING
OF MILK DELIVERIES

Editor, The Times: There
seems to be a lot of hysteria in
regard to the elimination of re-
tail milk delivery. In no other
city on the Pacific Coast is
there so much said and printed
about the elimination of retail
milk delivery. 1t has taken a
number of years TO educate our
local people regarding the health
benefits of milk and the benefits
of building up strong disease
resistance by the abundant use
of good wholesome milk. The re-
tail delivery of milk is an i'm
portant function in furthering
the use of more milk" program
of the dairy industry in our vi
cinity.
1t is a proven fact that in
communities where retail de-
livery is displaced by the go
to the store and carry it home
idea" milk consumption has
fallen off from 1000 to 400.
II it is necessary to eliminate
retail delivery for national de-
Tense or to win this war. no
citizen will object. However,
II some groups want to promote
form of monopoly with the
help Of politicians who have a
vein Of vindictiveness in their
makeup under the pretense Of an
exaggerated national emergency,
then the public. when acquainted
with the facts, would object
most emphaticslly.
No doubt there will have to
be a curtailment Of rubber tires,
but whether il should be so
drastic as TO apply to retail de-
livery should be considered care
fully.
At a meeting in San Fran
cisco Of dairy employees repre-
sented by delegates from rs OF
the larger western cities the idea
of every other day delivery was
frowned upon because Of the
inability Of people Of the smaller
income class land who often
times are the largest users of
milk being unable TO have prop
er refrigeration and thus curtail
their usual milk consumption so
essential to their health.
At the meeting in San Fran
cisco. Jan. II, Is, IA attended
by employers Of the western
states. a program was outlined
for the purpose of having a COM
plete survey made Of the rubber
situation.
l. Determination OF present
status-which involves:
(s) Speedy. but reasonably se-
curste survey Of normal tire
usage for retail delivery.
(b) Inventory Of all tires =

and started the year with a clean
slate.
Piling this enormous load on
the back Of one goat was an
elaborate ceremony. Two goats
were required. One was chosen
by lot To be a sacrifice and the
other to be the "scape' goat and
carry the sins of the people off
into the wilderness. All the peo-
pie gathered around, and as they
confessed their sins the sacrifi-
cal goat was killed. Then the
priest placed the sins of the peo-
pie on the other goat and sent
him scampering off into the
woods.
Though most of those old cere-
monies were long ago abandoned.
the scape goat idea has been re-
tained. IL Ii such q convenient
method of shifting responsibility
for personal meanness or blund-
ering or failure to discharge our
responsibilities.
Time and again great national
crises are relieved by making
somebody to be the scspe goat.
The Pearl Harbor episode was
such an enormous exhibition Of
the way the army and navy
doesn't get along and how each
hates the idea of an air COM
mand that two goats were nee
essary. On Admiral II. z. KIM
mel and Lieut.. Gen. Walter c.
Short, commanding the sea and
land forces at Honolulu, was
placed the sins responsible for
the Pearl Harbor tragedy. Like
the scape goat Of old, they are
now on the way to oblivion. That
is definitely settled by the re-
port of the commission sent to
Honolulu to inquire into the
why's and wherefores of the
Pearl Harbor attack.
Their great sin was that they
gave no more thought to what
might happen in the air than did
the brass hats who crucified Gen.
Mitchelfwhen he expressed some
obvious truths about modern war
and aviation.
A good thought to interject
at this point was expressed by
popular news commentator
when he said that the report of
the commission indicated that
there is nothing wrong with the
American army and navy nor
the officers and enlisted men.
The thing that is wrong. said
he, is the complete unawarness
Of the army and navy high COM
msnd of the important part
aviation is playing in modern
warfare. Dramatically he pic
tured the admiral waiting for the
general and the general waiting
for the admiral and the whole
war machine stymied by the
traditions of stiff, indoctrinated
minds, and all of 1t going back
into the highest seats of the war
and navy departments.
For the next few weeks the
news from Washington will
make interesting reading. Ad-
miral kimmel and Lieut.. Gen.
Short will continue to be the
goats, but II the December I
incident awakens the army and
navy high command into reali-
ration Of what's wrong, Pearl
Harbor will be remembered with
gratitude rather than hatred.

Out of the record of that long
ago era another episode is re-
called by the report just made
on the Pearl Hsrbor affair.
Once upon time the Children of
Israel were having a tough time
reconciling their old traditions
and practices with the new deal
which Moses promulgated after
he spent some time up on the
mountain where the Lord gave
him some new laws. The Israel
ties admitted that the laws were
good but they just couldn't
seem to make them work. They
were always busy repenting or
undergoing punishment for their
sins but never really seemed to
be able to catch up on them.
As a last resort IL WAS pro-
posed that once a year there he

speak, when all the sins OF the

United States output is expanding daily.
 The Germans developed a new FDcke- Wolfe 190 fighter which is Q speedy climber and better than the Messerschmidt 109 F. However, the British report that their new 6pitfires are superior to either og the German types, and some newer, secret models are being de- veloped.
 The allied plan is to conduct around -the-clack sweeps over Ger many, day and night, both by the HAU and the American Army Air EOrco which is being developed in Britain.
 Nights are growing longer and weather conditions, usually good in western Europe in August, arc even better in September. Reporting from London on the air situation, Edward w. Beattie of the United Press cables:
 "The warning by Air Marshal k40AAAO OA GH-AIOdl against the Reich which will grad ua1ly come into being as the sum- uier wanes lifted the curtain briefly on Q development which has been going on with complete lack of pulp licity-the creation of real Amer ioan air striking force to join the RAF in an assault on the heart of the Axis"
 Beattie pointed out some of the problems involved, such as the as- sembling of thousands of ground personnel. big supply dumps, exten- sive repair shops and an organiza- ton carefully integrated with the British.
 4Referring to the four-engined American bombers capable of car- rying four-tons of bombs to any part of German, Beattie concludes:
 s"Britain's heavy bombers, Amer ican Fortresses and Liberators and a. few models still on the secret list are being counted on to turn the trick. If they can, the battle of Britain is going to look like a pleasant summer breeze

 Pilots reported that they met almost no opposition, and 1t was believed that losses were greatly under the average of less than 5 per cent.
 Last nights raid on Saarbrucken was the second of the war there but the first major one. A small raid was made on Saarbrucken Nov. 8, 1940.

 In bombing the Saarbrucken coal and war industry area, the British planes switched their attack from the Ruhr- -Rhineland and the north western area where Germany is building the submarines which are attacking Allied shipping in the Att lantic.

 Last midnight's communique re- vealed the opening of the drive around Kletskaya.
 New German Advances
 Red Star reported from the Ba- taisk area, l2 or IS miles south of Rostov, where the noon communique had reported new German advances, that only an excellently organized defense, and an obstinate, self-sac- rificing struggle for every foot of land could halt the Nazi drive into the Caucasus.
 The battle was mounting in fero- city and the Germans were con- stantly throwing in fresh reserves of tanks and infantry, Red Star said.
 The Germans were striking southwest of Kletskaya, 75 miles or tn W es of Stalingrad, and around Tsimlyanskaya, halfway between Rostov and Stalingrad in pincers movement intended to take strategic Stalingrad. The drive threatened the Moscow-Stalingrad railway, which runs 35 miles south- west of Kletskaya.
 The drive around Kletskaya was revealed for the first time in last midnight's Soviet communique, but Red Star said today 1t had been raging for seven days, a wild strug- gle over dozens of miles, with huge forces of tanks, motorized infantry, cavalry and planes, both Greman and Finnish.
 The Germans reached the Don at one point near Kletskaya yesterday, Red Star said, but strong Soviet blows from the Hanks forced them back.
 Russian artillery, massed for miles inside the great bend of the Don, was pounding German tanks and infantry and inflicting terrible losses.
 Battle FerOcious
 The battle was no less ferocious around Tsimlyanskaya, where the noon communique asserted, Russian planes were bombing German units which had broken across the Don.
 Red Star said the Russians had wiped out several tank groups in the counter attack against the Germans who reached the Don near Kletskaya.
