Allied Demand To
Italy Expected To
Soften Resistance

WASHINGTON, July u CUP) -
The Allied demand that the people
of Italy surrender was being count
ed on in official quarters today to
soften resistance TO the present in
vasion even though it falls short of
touching off an italian revolution
against FaScism.
Persons in poeitiOn to Judge
the probable reaction in italy said
they believed Fascist control had
been tightened drastically in re-
cent weeks to prevent popular up
rising against MussOlini
They viewed the Roosevelt
| Churchill appeal to the italian
people as more likely to undermine
Italian will to fight and to en-
courage an attitude of non-reSis-
tance toward the invading Allies.
INCREASE EFFORTS
Also, the Italian underground
movement, while not as powerful
as that in France. may be expected
now to increase its efforts toward
sabotage and general slowing
down of the italian war effort.
Much of the effect of the mes
sage calling upon the Italian people
to choose their own DESTINY
whether Italians shall die for
Mussolini and Hitler - or live for
Italy. and for civilization'-Will de-
pend upon how widely the appeal
is distributed in Italy.
Mussolini's underlings have been
trained to be alert for Allied mes
sages from the skies and it is to be
expected that general orders have
been issued for the confiScation oil
all copies of the message dropped
by Allied airplanes on Italian soil.
It Is believed that the FasclSts
will be less successful however, IN
shutting off the radio messages. A
radio station in Tripoli, originally
set M by the Italians in their
empire building days. can broadcast
on the same medium wave-length
used in Italy itself.
Officials believe stiff fighting Is
ahead for Allied troops in Sicily
and also after the defenses OF
italy itself have been breacheo
However. once the Italian army
sees that resistance is useless II Is
expected to take realistic view
point and surrender.
The message drafted IN wash
ington and London is regarded as
admirably suited to appeal to tine
Italian mind References to Italy :
ancient traditions of freedom ano
culture, and the poor company ltaiS
now is keeping, are expected TO III
in neatly with what the ltaiiaI
people must now be thinking apou'
the sorry situation into which MUS
solini has led them.

A Possible III Effect

While the end achieved was good, it is
possible that means utilized toward the
achievement may prove to have another
and not SO good result.
Not only in his solution did the presi-
dent create the new agency, but he also
issued specific orders to all department
heads that in the future, all such squab-
bles and charges must come directly to
him or Mr.. Byrnes, rather than aired In
public
From the angle of good business, this
is as it should be. Any large concern
settles its troubles within itself before
the person with authority to rule. And
in concern so vast as this country's gov
ernment, settlement should be made at
the right spot.
In the case of government however, an
executive has two authorities to placate.
One is the chief executive; the other is
the people who are the sovereign power.
In behalf of good internal operation, dis
putes should be carried on before the
executive so he may act to correct them.
But i'm behalf of good government, the
people should be informed of what is
going on so they can judge of the nature
of the administration in power.
Hence, in issuing his order the presl-
dent is acting III accord with good busl-
ness practice. but at the same time, his
order is virtually closing the door against
information reaching the people as to just
what is going on.
1t is doubtful whether as much benefit
would have come from the Wallace-Jones
case, if the argument had not been waged
publicly Certainly, the faults had existed
for year and half without correction.
That was ample time to repair an evident
poor operation That it was not mended
until the trouble became public knowl-
edge seems to indicate quite conclusively
that public knowledge is more desirable
and capable of producing action than in
ternal settlement.

Navy Creates New
Air Chief Post

WASHINGTON, July 17.-UP)-
The navy has raised the dignity of
it's air arm and further recognized
its problems and Importance by
creating a deputy chief of naval
operations for air.
The new office. which was ap-
proved by President Roosevelt, will
be filled by Vice Admiral John Sid
ney Mccain, who has been chief of
the bureau of aeronautics for sew
eral months 1t will operate as a
part of the office of the chief OF
naval operations and, 1t is believed,
may take away many of the argu-
ments put forth by the proponents
of a separate air arm.
Mccain will be succeeded as CHIEF
Of aeronautics by Rear Admiral
d. c. Ramsey, who is at present a
task force commander in the South
Pacific.

HELICOPTER CRAZY
(Redlands Facts)

(RedlandS tactS)
This helicopter nonsense has gone too
far Helcopters are going to drive sub
marines out of the Atlantic. HellcopterS
are going to carry the mail from Podunk
to Metropolis. Helicopters are going to
serve San Bernardino if the civil aero
nautcs board grants the application of
the Burlington Transportation company.
To which we say nuts,
The submarine has been controlled dur
ing May and June in the Atlantic. And
the helicopters didn't do it. There's so
much blah, blah, blah you'd think every
merchant ship carried one OF these
straight-up straight-down machines. They
don't.

Mt. The dirigible, also was going to carry
mail to heck and gone. 1t didn't.
The Burlington Transportation COM
pany has never carried one passenger
with a helicopter. Where do they get all
this business of applying for passenger
routes?
The helicopter will have great future
or it won't The answer will depend upon
many factors no man can foretell right
now. One is how much they will cost to
buy and to operate. Another is whether
they can compete with other transporta-
tion devices giving nearly equivalent ser
vice. Time will tell
Men must dream, but dreams must not

Army Recruited
Stimson Declares

WASHINGTON, July II tUP)-
press conference statement by
Secretary of War Henry l.. Stim-
son i'm Jondon was interpreted here
today as supporting recent specu-
lation that the armed services may
cut back their personnel goals be-
fore they reach the originally
scheduled total of 100000 By
Dec. 81.
Stimson told reporters in London
that now we have virtually finish
ed recruiting and are engaged in
training the largest and best
trained army the United States
ever have sent beyond their
waters"
THE latest selective service in

Heath
writes:

A subcommittee of the Dies
Committee on Unamerican Ac-
tivities made daily headlines out of
testimony taken in Los Angeles and
at the PoSton relocation center
where Japanese Americans are
being held. The general impress
sion of newspaper readers must be
that the War Relocation Au-
thority is doing a pretty slovenly
job.
A competent news service man
who was present during much of
that inquiry wrote the testimony
heard by the committee-but his
eyes and ears. outside the hearings,
told him different story.
The gist of the testimony was
that the evacuees at Poston were
harboring large quantities of food
were rioting, and were preparing
to join Japanese invasion forces
when tie expected attack was
launched against the United States
"To the disinterested observer
the testimony was SO fantastic II
was ludicrous," reports this cor
respondent.
Cellars beneath barracks sup
posed TO conceal hordes of food
proved to have been dug as refugees
from 130-degree heat: they con-
tanned few dirty mattresses ano
cots, but no food.
Evidence of food waste. intro.
duced by the committees expert
Investigator, consisted of a half
eaten cheese sandwich found at {
warehouse where evacuee workers
had eaten lunch.
"The committee heard that ;
large supply of dynamite had beel
stolen from spot three mile
from the Parker Dam within thu
past 80 days In the conversation
at dinner 1T developed that tn
dynamite had been stolen thre'
years ago"
The committees visit to tn
Poston center produced evidenc
disproving much of the testimon
received at Los Angeles. But Will
the testimony was on the recorc
and received wide publicity. tn
later disproof did not seem to tn
committee to be worth passin
along to the public.
This is the type of inquiry whic
originally got the Dies Committe
into disrepute. Chairman Dies him
self was not along on the reloca
ton survey, and therefore remain
in position to clear the record b
making public the real facts as dis

ALI ed HEADQUARTERS.
NORTH AFRICA, July 17.-UP)-
| The Axis in Sicily is in the attitude
of a defensive boxer with a potent
| tally dangerous counter-punch. He
back Pedals slowly, covering up and
waiting for his opponent to make
mistake. He jabs and feints and
goes into his shell.
This is the position after week
of fighting as indicated by reports
coming into this headquarters. The
Allies are following up the Axis
warily. They know from experience
that any slip against such shifty
crafty enemy may have the worst
possible result and cause a long de-
lay in the operations.
In the earlier stages of the Afri-
can campaigning our attempt to
take Tunisia by quick, aIdacious
thrust fell short and it took months
instead of days to rectify the situa-
ton.
WON'T REPEAT IT
There is no desire to repeat that
experience. The Sicilian campaign
is not Blitz. 1t is not fought over
terrain suitable to blitz warfare and
all the Allied commanders are
cagey. They won't be mouse-trap-
ped if they can help it. But, like
Grant, they will fight it out on this
line If it takes all summer, which
it probably won't
1t is difficult to see how the Axis
expects to rescue it's army from
Sicily even if a prolonged rear
guard action is fought. The enemy
hardly can escape through the
Messina bottle to the italian
mainland. Therefore, if the Axis
started with a large army in Sicily
it looks as though the Allies Boa
contrictor squeeze inevitably viii
produce another fold-up such as oc'
Cured in Tunisia. The Tunisiaf
surrender came, of course, onl,
after the enemy suffered a terrific
mauling, after much fierce light
inc. the toughness of which wa
rather obscured by the magnitude
of the final victory.
Some heavy slugging must III
ahead in Sicily when the enem'
reaches the line on which he IN
tends to stand. It can be safel
assumed that there has been SOM
defensive strafing which as yet ha
been unrevealed.
The Allied landing should no
have been a surprise to the enem
commanders since you can't hld
conveys of transports and arnada
of warships in waters which are s
open to enemy observation as tn
Mediterranean. Yet, the enem'
didn't put up the sort OF fight o.
the beaches that might have bee
expected.
The transportation of our armle
direct to the Sicilian battlefield
was one of the biggest enterprise
of its kind in the history OF war
fare. For week before the attac
ports swarmed with ships and me
and the air barrage against Sicil
was going full blast.

No one knows how much of the
lend-lease aid will ever be paid
for, but if it's any consolation to
you, all these supplies furnished by
the United States to the United Ma
tions are carried on the books at
U. S. costs, and there is no hag-
Cling over the price. Even when
the items involve subsidies or in
centives, as with foodstuffs, the
foreign countries take the goods at
the gross cost, not the lower mar
ket price. or the price of similar
goods produced in their own coun-
tries. OF course, it works both
ways. When the United States
takes reverse lend-lease aid for
American troops stationed over
seas, its credited at whatever
prices they fix on their goods.
