Axis radios circulated a whole series
of reports designed to SOW doubt
and miStruSt among the Allies.
one of the most widely circulated
Nazi falSehoods was a report that
Stain had yielded his place as su-
preme Russian military commander
to Marshal Boris ShapoShnikov-a
report which Moscow branded as
a plain lie Another similar rumor
was voiced by the Vich" radio, that
Gen. George Marshall. u. S. chief
of staff, had been superseded. Like
the Shaposhnikov report there was
no truth in the Vichy allegation.
NAZIS NERVOUS
The mounting strain of three years
of war on Germany's internal struc-
ture was clearly indicated by Sum
day address of Reichmarshal Her
mann Goering in which the No.
Nazi leader sought to prepare the
public for the heavy sacrifices of
/ the winter Just ahead.
He promised the Germans that
+ they would eat, even if the rest
/ of Europe should starve. and ex-
pressed utmost sympathy for the
residents of regions under British
air bombardment, saying that as an
expert on such matters he we'll knew
the SufferingS they must endure.

Americans Cool to
Sacrifice During
Postwar Period

WASHINGTON. Oct 5. up
The Foreign Policy association said
that a majority of Americans would
be opposed TO economic commit
ments for postwar world recon-
struction that would mean a sacri-
flee in their own standard of living
That conclusio1 was reached on
the basis of statements by four
newspaper editors from different re
Rfons of the country on the current
trend of public opinion in regard
TO rehabilitation of world society.
Walter K. SchWinn, associate edi-
tor of the Hartford Comm Cour-
ant said New Englanders would not
enthusiastically approve or EN-
phatically reject proposals for
world aid but would withhold judg-
ment until they had been given a
hearing"
Virginius Dabney, editor of the
Richmond (VaD Times Dispatch,
said the south would feel that low
ering its standard OF living in the
interests Of world reconstruction
would be carrying international al
truiSm to inordinate lengths.
William H. HessTr. foreign editor
of the Cincinnati tOD Enquirer, said
"A foreign economic policy designed
to lift the purchasing power Of for
cign peoples and advance the stand
ard of living of the common man
throughout the world if advanced
with the admission that it would
temporarily lower our own living
standards would probably have
hard shedding in the Middle West.
Herbert Lewis, acting managing
editor of the St. Paul (MinnD Dis
patch, said maintenance of full en-
ploymeH and continuance of total
public and private national eXpendi-
ture comparable to that during the
war is necessary to induce the
northwest to approve of broad poll
cies of world political and economic
cooperation.

was going to happen to them.
Names, ages, addresses, and names

people were aScertained and copies

county officers as most of them
came from Yuma after the dance
halls and saloons closed in the Ari

we are going to stop the prac-
tice of young people frequenting
the saloon dance halls in Winter
haven" Sheriff Ware said, "and we
are going to make frequent raids
to see that the young people obey
disobeying the law if the frequent
such places. Their parents should
not permit them to remain away
from home in the early hours of
the morning and certainly should
not permit these boys and girls to
visit saloons"
WARNING ISSUED
The young people were sent home
after receiving orders never to re-
turn to the Winterhaven resorts
again.
If we ever catch any of you
young people or any other boys
and girls less than 81 years of age
in these resorts" Sheriff Ware told
them, I'VE are gong to take you to
Imperial, lock you up in the county
juvenile home. and take both you
and your parents into juvenile court

all parents know it is against the
law for boys and girls under 81

Probers Disagree Over
Merits Of u. S. AirpIones

WASHINGTON, Oct. sup -
Investigating committees of the
house and senate we're in sharp
disagreement today over the rela-
tive merits of American and enemy
fighter planes.
A house military affairs sub
committee, in a report released to-
day, expressed the opinion that
American army planes "are more
than match for any of the planes
that are now pitted against them" "
It cited figures showing that from
Feb. l to Sept. 20 the enemy had
lost 279 planes of all types on all
fronts to ia for American army
air forces.
Chairman Harry S. Truman, D.,
Mo, of the special senate commit
tee investigating the war program,
told the senate on Sept. IA that the
committees previous contentious
hat American fighter planes were
inferior to the best British and
German fighters had proved to be
the truth
FIGURES WITHHELD
The house committee, headed by
Dow Harter, D., o., said that in
the final analysis, it is the box score
that counts" 1t said that in the

higher speed and greater diving
ability which make 1t effective
against the Zero.
The Zero is an excellent flying
machine and a relatively poor
fighting machine"
The commItteecautioned against
building up false hopes on the
ratio of American and enemy plane
losses
I'VE felt that it would be a mis-
take for the public to lose sight of
the fact that as we go further on
the offensive in the air the ratio
of our losses must inevitably in
crease" the report said.
ON NINE FRONTS
Harter called the attention of re-
porters to the fact that American
air forces are engaged on nine
fronts and fighting under all kinds
OF conditions.
ITS well known fact he said,
that the British Spitfire, as fine
a fighter as it is, is no good in
North Africa. We're manufacturing
planeS-good planes capable of
meeting the best the enemy has un-
der any kind of conditions"
