Envovs Reveal Treatment

NEW YORK, Aug. 27-CUP) -
Japanese treatment of the Ameri-
can diplomatic mission to Japan
was such that Ambassador Joseph G..
Grew protested scores of times.
In one, made Dec. 81, two weeks
after Pearl Harbor, he informed the
Japanese through the Swiss lega-
ton that the American diplomats
were being treated in a manner
unparalleled in the history of in
tercourse between civilized nations" "
This was in line with the others,
one of which said that the mem
bers of the United States embassy
were being treated worse than
criminals and prisoners of war who
at least are given food"
Eugene H. Dcoman, embassy
counselor, protested to a Japanese
foreign office representative Dec. 18
that there was nothing in the his
tory of international relations
which could even approach this
instance of savage treatment of
public officials"

LET'S DO OURSELVES
(Palo Alto Times)

Occasionally one gets a glimpse of
silver lining to the darkest clouds, even
the clouds of war. One such flash is the
wholesome emergence of Tets do it
ourselves" impulse as substitute for the
Government ought to do it for u.s. atti-
tude into which we were falling
The increasing numbersf of Americans
who were demanding that security and
jobs and recreational facilities and medi-
cal care and all sorts of desirable things
be guaranteed them without any respons-
ibility on their part was one of the most
menacing of pre-war trends. They want
ed the costs loaded onto someone else
nobody in particular-and they wanted
the benefits of a planned economy with
out any loss of personal liberty.
They were either unwilling or unable
to see that such an evasion of responsible
ity on the part of many must inevitably
center the sponsibility-and the power
in the hands of the few; that all the
fine things we were coming to demand as
q right do not grow on trees.
This revival Of American self-depend-
ence and resourcefulness is the hope of
this, as of other cities. Palo Alto is Ma
tionally known for its recreational activ-
tiles. and would be reluctant, indeed, to
see them limited, particularly at time
when health and morale most need to be
maintained. Yet budgets will have to be
pared far more drastically next year than
they were this. and trained leadership
will be scarcer than ever.
The solution lies in a shouldering of
the responsibility by the men and women,
the boys and girls of the community. We
can develop our own leadership and eX-
ercise our own ingenuity if we have to,
and be better off for it.

BUT VINSON VOICES THE
BRASS-HAT OPINION

Unfortunately for an early trial of the
opinions of Seversky and Gen. Eaker,
Rep. WILSON'S old-fashioned view seems
to be that espoused by the brass-hats of
military and naval organizations among
the Allies. Since Gen. Eaker is subject
to orders from Headquarters, and Sewers
ky has no more official standing, the
brass hats will prevail unless they see
the error of their ways soon.
Rep Vinson said: when the new land
front is launched in the west of Europe,
it is sea power that will launch it. Sea
power will transport the men and ma
terel to the point of attack. To keen
them flowing in an unbroken stream until
the whole Axis edifice has crashed, Amer
lea and the other United Nations must
have sra power in overwhelming
strength :"
He failed to mention that the sea pow
er would be absolutely worthless if it
did not have sufficient aerial protection
to drive off enemy aircraft. Ships alone
have been unable to do that, up to date
in this war
AS for us. if we had to choose between
sea power and air power, we would take
air power, with all the range bomb cap
acity and fire that could be achieved

Swedish Observers
Say Hitler Plans
New WinterLi

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 22-tUP) -
Adolf Hitler, abandoning hope that
Germany can crush Russia, has
started building defenses to hold his
eastern gains so the bulk of his
army will be free to meet the threat
of second front in the west, un-
usually we'll informed sources said
today.
The same sources expressed belief
that Hitler might start a peace Of
fensive this winter and tell the
German people that separate
peace with Russia was necessary
without the total victory he had
promised them.
Informants said the new Ger
man defenses in the east would not
be along a continuous line, like the
west wall opposite France or the
old French Maginot line, but a
chain of hedgehog citadels de-
signed to permit a relatively few
men, garrison troops, to hold the
Russians while the main German
armies moved to western Europe.
The position of the new eastern
defense line naturally was secret
but informants reported that in
parts of northern and central Rus
sia it had already been defined, and
that construction of actual defenses
bad hoen started
In the south. it was said, the Ger
mans hoped TO make further gains
and then orient their defense line
as far as possible on the Volga
river.
The hedgehogs or citadels would
be as much as 35 miles apart. in
formants reported. Each would be
provided with big underground
magazines for food and ammuni-
ton, SO that garrisons could hold
out through the winter without re-
provisioning.

MIND YOUR
MANNERS

Test your knowledge of correct
social usage by answering the fol-
lowing questions. then checking
against the authoritative answers
below:
/. Should a person use his tele-
phone sparingly in wartime?
2. Should one now try especially
hard to make his telephone conver-
sations brief?
3. Should children be allowed to
make unnecessary telephone calls?
3. If you aren't sure of tele-
phone number should you consult
the directory or take chance on
dialing the number you think is
right?
S. When you put in a telephone
call should yoI hang up if no one
answers Immediately or should you
wait as long for an answer as you
would like others to wait for you?
What would you do if
Your telephone rings
(a) Hurry to answer it as quick
ly as possible?
(b) Take your time, knowing it
will probably ring a while before
the person pultting in the call
hangs up?
Answers
/. Yes If switchboard and cen
tral office facilities are burdened
with civilian calls, war calls may
be delayed.
g. Yes.
g. No.
4. Consult the directory, as wrong

RUSSIA IN TIME
WILL FORGIVE DELAY
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

There is great bitterness in Russia over
the failure of Britain and the United
States to open Second Front in time
to save the Volga. This, of course, was
foreseen by the men who determine the
course of the military effort of the AL
lies
The question in their minds must have
run something like this: To refuse the
Second Front now will embitter Russia
But a Second Front now might result in
disaster which would mean disaster for
Russia as we'll as for ourselves. If we
wait and deliver our attack next Spring,
and Russia is still in the war, then Rus
sia will forget her bitterness in victory.
The question remains, will Russia remain
in the war if we don't help now. Russia,
strengthened by her hatred for Germany
and Nazism will continue TO fight, for
there would be nothing to gain by giving
up now.
That must be the theory back of the
military policy of Britain and the United
States The time has come to fight the
war on the basis of military judgment
rather than of international politics. That
has been the basis upon which Russia
has acted all along. Russia did not hesl-
tate to sign non-aggreSson pact with
Germany when Germany was about to
throw Europe into war and conquer
France. Russia maintained that pact as
long as she could in order to become
strong for war of defense. Meanwhile,
Germany all but won the war, which
would have beer disaster for Russia.
The Russian leaders should be able to
appreciate the present plight of their AL
lies, for it so closely resembles the situa-
tion faced by Russia herself not so long

KNOCKING GERMANY OUT
WITH AIR POWER

Have you read Victory Through Air
Power" by Major Alexander Seversky?
If not, you could not fully appreciate
two dispatches printed in this paper yes
terday, one written by Rep. Carl Vinson,
chairman of the house naval affairs COM
mittee and the other detailing an inter-
view with Maj. Gen Ira c. Eaker, com
manding the bomber command of the
American army air force in the European
theater.
Gen. Eaker went as far as anyone has,
this side of Billy Mitchell, in support of
Seversky's ideas.
IL believe it is possible to destroy the
enemy from the air. Gen. Eaker said.
a. By destroying the enemys aircraft
factories you can put an end to his air
force. By destroying his munitions plants
and communications you can bring his
armies to halt. BY destroying his ship
yards you can make it impossible for him
to build submarines There is nothing
that can be destroyed by gunfire that
cannot be destroyed by bombs
He might as we'll have been quoting
Severskys conception of war of destruc-
tion according to modern trends.
On the other hand, there was Rep. Vim
son. 1t is true he paid tribute to air
power down towards the last of his dis
cussion, but he failed to break the bonds
of traditional thinking. He considered
the aircraft carrier as the most powerful
naval weapon of today, evidently ignor-
ing that it is the planes which make the
aircraft carrier deadly, and then only
when out of range of enemy land-based
aircaft.
We prefer to string along with Sewers
ky and Gen. Eaker.
Gen. Eaker, of course, does not go as
far as Seversky. He is discussing only
the European theater of operations,
where all targets are within range of
present land based planes. If we admit,
however that we are capable of develop
ing planes which can fly halfway around
the world-and it would be worse than
reactionary to deny it-then we must ad-
nit that Gen. Eaker's beliefs must apply
to Japan as we'll as Europe. In that event,
he gives powerful support to Seversky's
contentious.

GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

I'm nine months I've aged nine
years" she said, and l knew that
another general houseworker had
left her to go and do wars work.
She did look older . . lines, and
the harassed expression of the anx-
ious, inexperienced housewife did
it. Running a house without help
will do it to anyone who knows as
little about it as she does.
So 1 suggest that if you're TAX
ing over, or changing maids often,
plan it. One important thing my
harassed friends never does is to
have the household going, when the
maid arrives, in the way the maid
is expected to keep it going
1t will give you confidence and
skill in management to do the work
yourself awhilc-and yoU can do it
without damaging your disposition
and appearance. Remember, organ
ize it, and keep to the schedule, es-
pecially the schedule of daily clean
ing and weekly special cleaning.

Writes:

After sitting around for approx
imately five months and dong
nothing about two of the most vital
points in President Roosevelt's an
ti-inflation program, Congress now
has decided to act.
And how are our esteemed iegls-
lators going to act? Are they lear
less in their approach to the prob
lem? Arc they preared to leave no
stone unturned in their attemt to
avert initiation?
No They are going to pass the
buck.
Grant that the task is unpleaS-
ant, and for the time being thank
less. Concede that nobody likes to
say that organized union laborers
cannot have fr-ther pay raises, that
millions of farmers must forego
higher prices for their products.
That does not excuse the 531 rep
resentatives and the 96 senators
from assuming full responsibility
for whatever decision is to be made.
Neither does it justify them in
abdicating their constitutional obli-
cations and passing the buck to the
President.

INVISIBLE GLOVES"
SAVE WORKERS HANDS

And do depend upon the hand
lotion, one bottle of which is ever
present by the kitchen sink and
another in the bath. Using it con-
stantly, you'll escape the drying,
wrinkling, disfiguring effects of
soaking.
The well-known trick of digging
nails into soap before performing a
dirty task is still one of the best
beauty cues for houseworking Wo-
men. And you will find it very
helpful to use one of the new "in~

of which have just been made
available for women who are work.

These creams prevent CRIME from
working into the skin, and make
it much simpler to cleanse your
hands. After cleansing, of course,

ALL DOUBTS DISPELLED

If you have been skeptical OF
the worth of this movie star pre-
motion of war bonds, a short con-
fab with gal like Carson pretty
we'll dispels your doubts. She has
been working on her own time, off
the studio payroll, time that had
been designated fer the first va
cation she was 10 have had in
years. She has probably ruined the
most important implement of her
trade-her voice-and whipped her
nerves to a frazzle.
And the only thing she wanted
TO do was to get back on the saw
dust trail and peddIe some more
bonds. She had made up her
mind to ask for a release from
her new movie contract, TO devote
all her time TO bond campaign
ing, when Treasury official
tactfuIJy pointed out that her
value as a stimulant to bond
buying was high only SO long as
she continued to make movies.
So she is working on an arrange
ment whereby she can make pic
lures half the year and work the
bond business during the other
six months.

Miss Greer Carson, the moving
picture lady. is a very beautiful
creature. and apart from the red
hair and the eyes and other things,
she is a normally healthy, if not
exactly strapping female. She is
healthy to a point where it takes
fairly narrowing experience to
flop her into a hospital bed for a
week. which is where she has been
residing ever since she completed
one of those bond-selling tours.
Miss Carson, whose new film
Minever currently is responsible
for an immense number of sod
den handkerchiefs, went on a
slightly different tack from the
average moompitcher war bond
salesman. She wasn't shooting
for the big five thousand and ten
thousand dollar bond buyers who,
you gather, are really the easiest
to separate from their dough.
Miss Greer went after the little
fellows. seeking for quantity
on the 10c store plan.
Il went out" she said, Ito put
salt on the tail of the 25-dollar
bond buyer, the person whose
money is eventually going to win
the war. The 25-dollar buyer is
the man the treasury is the most
interested in
This tail-salting tour led the
lady into the tough country-min-
ing towns in Virginia and West
Virginia in the coal mining and
apple growing sectors. An English
woman, Greer got her first real
look at typical Americana, and
the folks who do not live in Holly
wood and Washington and New
York got their first look at Miss
Carson.
