It May Be Patton

The Germans are becoming disturbed at the
nrosnect of new amphibious attacks in Italy.
General Eisenhower is understood. to be get
ting ready for new landings. Stockholm has
heard of a large concentration of Allied trans
ports, supply ships and Naval strength off the
west coast. This report is spread on the heels
of news that Allied forces are being modified
on Corsica.
If such an offensive is in contemplation and
the concentrations are taking place as indi-
Gated. it is apparent that the strategy approx
mates the plan followed by Generals Clark
and Montgomery, with one force moving from
the west and another from the east with the
object of uniting in a common operation north
of Rome as Clark and Montgomery are COM
bining their attack below the city.
Maybe it has been for this campaign that
General Patton's army has been preparing
since the campaign in Sicily closed. Save for
the appearance of some very fine verses by
Patton in magazine last month and one PIC
ture showing some of his soldiers swimming at
Sicilian resort there has been no word of
the doughty general since the Germans were
driven out of Sicily and Montgomery's forces
landed in Italy
We know Patton well enough to realize that
all his time is not spent counting the Muses.
nor that of his soldiers in swimming and rec
reation. 1t seems fair enough. providing the
Stockholm reports are correct 10 expect him
to be leading his men ashore in Italy almost
any time now.
And with a powerful army above Rome to
cut off German reinforcements, supplies and
communications and the valiant Americans,
Canadians and British moving ahead, however,
slowly, from the south, delivery OF the Eternal

DimOut Cancelled

Announcement that, save for the beaches
dimout restrictions in this area have been re-
moved is gratifying not only because normal
lighting may be resumed but also because
it indicates that in the opinion of our military
leadership the likelihood of enemy attack has
been reduced to a minimum. The Armys de-
cision to do away with the dimout is the nat
ural sequel to previous orders curtailing the
civilian defense program.
While it is now permissible TO restore street
lights to average brilliance, to illuminate

The overhead lights at the stadium for night
games, it is urged that, in the coal crisis, all
unnecessary lights remain extinguished as a
conservation measure
This is entirely voluntary No arrests may
be made. But in the circumstances, it is felt
that the public will willingly cooperate, realiz-
ing that any waste of power places war pro-
duction in jeopardy.

Concert Oversale

The campaign OF the Wilmington Coopera-
tive Concert Association was notable for the
oversale of memberships. Never in the his
tory of the organization has this happened
before.
It presents problem not previously requir-
ing solution Instead Of anxiety over filling
the hall. the Association must now find way
to seat the audience, with the strong prob
ability that chairs will be placed on the stage
for the overflow.
This quick response, we think, is not wholly
due to Wilmington's population increase, but
partly to the peoples hunger for escape from
the heavy burdens and troubled thinking of
these war times.
However this may be- the fact that there
have been more applicants for membership
than the High school auditorium can COM
fortably accommodate points the community's
need for an adequate hail. such as is con-
templated for the Marine hospital site when
that property is returned by the government
after the war.

lance of the United Nations at the
end of the war.
Some senators advocate this
with the cunning of warped souls
who have lost all sense of how to
protect American interests. But
most senators probably are sim
ply afraid of demagogic attacks
back home. Fear of the foreigner
is deep human instinct in every
country. The world over it is the
simplest, and easiest of all politi-
cal issues to campaign on, and
the hardest to campaign against.
Senators are afraid of an or
gained minority. They know it
is more powerful in elections than
an unorganized, unvocal majority,
which is not mad enough at any
thing to go to the polls.
Meantime the senators who
dream of the large destiny that
will lie in the Senate's hands dur
ing the next few years, may find
that the big decisions will be de-
toured around the Senate, leaving
it there as large, but ineffective
obstruction.

WASHINGTON. - Every senator
must feel that the Senate again,
as in 1919, will have the oppo-
tunity to influence world affairs.
But I can see indications that
the opportunity may bypass t h e
Senate. Widespread f e exists
that the Senate will abuse its veto
power over foreign relations, that
instead of becoming a guardian Of
our foreign policy, the Senate is
III danger of becoming only an
obstruction.
That danger is recognized among
senators themselves. Senator o.
Mahoney of Wyoming and other
thoughtful senators recognize the
menace that can be caused by
abuse of the one-third veto power
which the Senate has over treaty
notifications. They are advocating
Constitutional amendment to
abolish that two thirds require
ment.
Within a few days representa-
tives of the United Nations will
meet in Atlantic City to sign a
United Nations food and rehabili-
tation agreement. 1t is in the form
of an agreement rather than
treaty because nobody wanted to
take chance on the S n e
wrecking the first joint United Ma
&c y
Nobody trusted the Senate-not
even some of the senators them
selves. Senator Vandenberg and
others on the Foreign Relations
Committee, realizing that the time
had come when the Senate must
rise above its prerogatives, agreed
with the House Foreign Affairs
committee on negotiations with the
State department for a text that
was revised to meet with their
general satisfaction.
That was practical, working
craftsmanship of the kind that will
have to replace the metaphysical
double-talk with which the Senate
is torxlring the Connally resolution
through to meaningless adoption.
Whatever would be lost in pro-
lection through taking t h two
thirds requirement from the Sen
ate would be restored by requiring
majority approval by the House of
Representatives as we'll as h
Senate. Any believer in democ-
racy must readily see that unless
policy commands majority of
the House and Senate, it is not
sufficiently supported by public
opinion to have enduring strength.
A Constitutional amendment
could be approved by the states
in time to become effective dur
ing the reconstruction period. But
it is not wise to depend entirely
on that possibility.
Immediately to the point Is the
help that you and I can be in this
situation-you more than me be-
cause have no vote here in the
District of Columbia and nobody
around here has to pay any at
tention. But you who vote can
help. The way to help it seems
to me, is to convince your senator's
that it will be politically safe for
them to vote like statesmen and
not like demagogues, to vote for
the Allies and the United Nations
holding together after they have
won the victory and not vote for
splitting apart so that the enemy
can have another chance to brino
all OF this on again.

contracts or orders. In contrast
small firms and business have
ceased to exist or have continued
to operate on the verge Of bank
ruptcy.
The gravity of the situation call
ed for speed, mass production, and
the utmost efficiency. Large cor
porations afforded this, so it was
wise in concentrating war con-
tracts with them.
Nevertheless the Roosevelt ad-
ninistration, more than any ad-
ministration, has seemingly favor,
ed radicals who say the American
system of free enterprise, based
on private ownership and CAPT
talism, has proved failure.
If free enterprise continues to
exist, it must revolve around or
be based on capitalism and pr.
vate ownership of industry. Other
wise free enterprise will be re.
legated and government will take
over. This means that the govern
ment will have degenerated into
national socialism.
This is primarily what confronts
US today. Thus the main issue on
the home front is: Are We to re.
tain Democracy and the American
way OF life or supplant it with
national socialism,?

The largest body mapped, says the
USGS report, is 200 feet wide and
1900 feet long. "The chromite deposits
are podlike in form, contrasting sharply
with the layered deposits of the Still
water area 80 miles to the northwest.
The smallest ore bodies contain only
a few pounds of ore; the largest are
as much as 80 feet wide and 100 feet
long, and one of them has already

Two zones of unusually high magnetic

Montana must plan now to compete
with plastics and lighter metals, to
maintain operation of copper, lead, zinc
and cadmium mines, Carl J. Trauerman,
manager of Mining Association of Mon
tana, told Montanas, Inc, meeting at
Helena. He forecasted development of
"large bodies of dolomite magnesium
and clay aluminium" in Montana. He
expressed belief that production of
manganese concentrates will be a per-
manent Montana industry, depending
on metallurgieal processes to enable
local chrome TO compete with foreign
ores.

products in the postwar period "is

BUYING A MOTOR?

A purchase order for new motors or
generators must have a preference rat
ing Of AA-5 or higher and the prospee-
tive buyer must certify that he has
made every reasonable effort:
l. To adopt idle motors or generators
that he owns to the purpose for which
he wants to use the new ones.
2. To obtain used equipment from
other sources.
8. To repair or reeondition his exist
ing equipment.
The foregoing restrictions were i'm
posed by the WPB to conserve ma
terials and manpower so necessary for
the successful prosecution of the war.
A general order imposing restrictions,
often works greater hardships on some
persons. This motor order may have
greater effect upon Montanans be-
cause of our scattered population and
great distances from used motor mar
kets. Since the order is fair one in
attempting to further the war effort,
we may expect it to remain in effect.
Therefore, the best and most patriotic
manner to meet the situation is by
maintenance of your equipment to pre-
vent failure and the resulting need for
new equipment.

quired IA tons of ore from the Butte
