The CaIzA4
Note Book

A this Memorial Day OF 1913
approaches we cannot help but re
cali the memorial days of our early
yonth when thousands of veterans
of the war between the states
were still active and numerous
enough TO mark the anniversary
which was created for them with
great deal of impressive cere'
mony.
The Spanish-American war vet
erans had been returned to their
civilian occupations for but a short
time TO furnish the impetus OF
youth TO the then falling G. A. RS.
And then II was but few brief
and stll youthful years for this
writer until World War / broke
across the horizon. flared for a
little more than - months as II
left its crimson mark upon the
lives of more than million war
veterans who. in their turn for a
few brief years gave OF their youth
full enthusiasm to the preparation
OF Memorial Day services.
And then the prosaicness OF
daily routine engulfed them
especially throughout rural
America. The observance OF
this day dedicated to the sa-
cred memory of those men
who gave their lives In their
countrys wars that the Amer
ican way Of life might not be
ieopardized gradually became
matter OF routine unimpoet-
ance.

But today there is a change. Me-
mortal Day is Is no longer just a
two-day spring vacation. There
are few. If any. OF us who do not
have loved ones fighting our coun-
try's war. A war that once again
win decide whether our way of life

from Pinal county are fighting with
millions of other young men from
all the far corners of this nation
and hundreds OF these men die ey-

Hits Allied Strategy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-Laborite
Aneurin Bevan, assailing Allied
strategy in the italian campaign,
told the House of Commons todav
that ''the greatest crisis the Ger
man high command has faced since
the battle of Stallngrad is now over
and the Germans can transfer first
class troops from the Italian front
to Russia"
Bevan cited Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden's speech in Commons
yesterday as masterpiece of
ambiguity and declared that when
Prime Minister Churchill and Mr..
Eden engaged in world tours" they
brought back merely ambiguous
sentences because we have not the
necessary military successes to back
up our diplomacy"
Aside from the victory in North
Africa, Bevan charged, the British
governments military handling of
the war situation was one blunder
after another.

Harsh Trials in 1943,

LONDON, Dec. 15-The Berlin
radio today said Joseph Goebbels
told his propaganda chiefs yesterday
1T cannot be disputed that both the
front and homeland were exposed
to extremely harsh trials in the
course of this year"
Acknowledging German sensitivity
to the Allied nerve war, Goebbels
issued new directives for 1914, and
declared:
while the heroically fighting
German soldiers are making void all
enemy attempts to destroy us, the
homeland proves worthy of them by
putting up an admirable attitude to
the brutal violence of the increased
air terror and the nerve offensive
connected with it."
Determined to Do Utmost.
Goebbels said the German people
had sustained wounds and scars
during the past few months" but
were determined to do their utmost
and ARE prepared for final de.
cisions.'
+ Goebbels indicated a shift in the
Nazi propaganda policy from it:
recent open gloom to an attitude ot
defiance, referring contemporary
to the "enemy's illusions" in hoping
for the early downfall of Germany
He said the Allies, "by the shorten.
ing of the German frontlines, hoped
for a military, and in analogy tt

collapse of the Germans Now they
have to put up with the failure ot
their plans and with Germany's un.
broken military and economic pow

In Moscow, Cairo and Teheran,'
he continued, "Germany's enemies
are trying to put up with the new
situation.
Empty communiques prove there
is no other way out for them but te
seek a decision by the desperate at
tempt of a second front in Europe
which will cost them immense cas-
ualties and about the outcome oil
which there can be no doubt after

500 New 0PA Aides
To Check Prices al
Manufacturing Level

Price Administrator Chester
Bowles yesterday announced he was
hiring 500 new investigators who will
be employed specially to seek out
price violations at the manufactur-
ing and wholesale levels and remove
some of the inf1ationary pressure
from retailers.
In this way, Mr. Bowles explained,
he hoped to nip price rises in the
bud before the increases can be
passed along to retailers, and con-
sumers. He told the Women's Ma
tional Press Club that OPA had re-
ceived many complaints from busi-
ness groups that investigators could
accomplish much more in checking
imitation if they worked at manu-
featuring and wholesale levels.
The 500 additional field men, Mr..
Bowles said, will be paid from a
s4,000,00O fund which OPA has ac-
cumulated as result of cutbacks
in administration expenses in WASH
ington.
The price administrator added
that OPA now has a staff of only
1900 investigators or three -fourths
of person for each county in the
country" The task of the force is
made more difficult since the inves-
tigators do not have the right to
purchase evidence with which to
prove their findings.
so far as I can learn they are
the only group of Federal investjga-
tors without this right" he added
A large part of OPA's present in
vestigatory staff must be used solely
in checking ration violations and
cannot aid in the fight to keep down
prices. Those who are used strictly
on price work are employed largely
at the retail level.
