MAY Draft Miners

Two weeks ago, we said that "the solution to the
problem of the miners if the strike is renewed, is
easy. Congress should promptly pass a law empow-
ering the President to draft miners for the public
service using the Seective Service machinery and
enrolling all necessary miners in the service of the
Government"
One week later President Roosevelt stated that
the Government had taken steps to set up the ma
chinery for induction into the armed services all miners
subject to the Selective Service Act who absented
themselves without just from work in the mines
under Government operation.
He called attention to the Selective Service Act
which does not authorize the induction of above
fortyve years into the armed services and expressed
his intention to request Congress to raise the age limit
for non-combat military service to sixty-fve years.
If, at any time in the future, he explained, there
should arise threat of interruption of work in plants
mines or establishments, owned by the Government
taken possession of by the Government the machn
cry will be available for prompt action

mate is que. oned by some Ameri-
can observers.
The second feet under General
PeSslering was in the Mediterrane-
an area. 1t was estimated shortly
after TuniSia as 300 strong but prob
ably soon thereafter was considera-
bly, wasted" and not very efficient
because it was spread thinly over a
long coast line with Italy as a weak
link.
The Remainder
The third fleet was under Gen.
eral Sperle-perhaps fifteen hundred
planes with the tremendous and
growing task Of guarding the Ger
man industrial area, the submarine
ports all the way to'the bay of Bis
cay-and also the duty of meeting an
invasion at any point along that long
coast line.
Then there was General Richtho-
fen's feet in southern Russia and
General Stumpf's at the other end
Of the stick in Norway with what
was left.
Besides these fleets, or a part Of
them perhaps, were certain "Flieger
orps"-mobile units which at
tempted to come to the rescue when
some area was in dire distress. But
the whole force, the experts believe,
is spread so thin that in case of
simultaneous air attack, great gaps
have to be left which would make
(and already have made) Allied air
invasion safe and. as a corollary,
would do the same for land invasion
beneath it.
The Luftwaffe has not vanished.
1t is still a powerful weapon and
the Germans are trying to maintain
its strength by concentrating on the
production of fighter planes. But
the days when Hitlers evil angels
darkened the skies and fortunes of
Europe are over.

Tools For Our Farmers

The War Production Board has earmarked a sup
ply of tools and equipment for retailers serving farm
ers in order that the nations farmers may get the
items necessary to produce for victory.
Specific percentages have been given to manufac-
turers and wholesalers requiring them to set aside for
sale for farm distribution stocks of needed items For
limited period preference ratings to be disregard
ed to the extent necessary to fill orders from farm
distributors up to the specified amounts.
The action of the WPB may be somewhat tardy
but it. at least will tend to relieve situation which
has been giving farmers considerable concern Ger
tainy it is not possible to produce crops without the
implements and machinery

Germany 5 'MdginotMin
May Hasten Ndzi Collapse
Axis Propagandists Fear Fortress Europa
Concept May Backfire; If Allies Break
'ImpregnabIe' Line Morale May Crack.
By BAUKHAGE
News analyst and Commentator.
WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, d. C.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, d. C.
Has Herr Goebbels created a
''maginot mind" in his minions
which will crumble and wreck Ger
man morale just as the failure Of
the French defense smashed French
morale? That is a question which
the students Of propaganda in Wash
ington are studying with great in
terest today.
Both external evidence-newspa
pers, broadcasts, public statements;
and internal evidence-reports of
spies and neutral observers; reveal
two things: one, that the Axis peo-
Piles are extremely invasion-con-
scious; and two, that they are suf-
fering from severe case Of war
nerves. But a third more serious
possibility is developing.
AS a result of the ''maginot
mind" it is believed that marked
increase in the scope Of the air
raids, or even a minor success of a
single invasion unit, might result in
complete breakdown of Axis mo-
rale. Realizing this, the German
propaganda forces are working fran
tically to change their previous
verbal barrages based on the con-
cept of the Fortress Europa. an ut
terly impregnable defense system,
back to the original German con-
cept of the value and efficiency of
highly mobile, offensive force.
Last year, when the second front
talk reached its height, the German
defense propaganda reached a high
water mark too. Then when inva-
sion weather passed, the German
defense talk died down to be re-
newed this past April. Everything
was done by the Nazis to create the
idea that Europe was ringed by an
unbreachable wall of steel, iron and
concrete. Comparisons were made
with the Maginot line; they said
the guns in the Maginot line could
traverse $50 degrees-in the new
German wall, they can swing around
the whole $50 degrees. They said
that the steel used in the construc-
ton equals bar which would reach
from the earth to the moon-the
concrete would build a road from
Berlin to the Solomon islands.
Those Six Months
That was the kind Of fare the
Germans and the Italians were
served. Immediately after the fall
of Tunisia, for instance. there was
an Axis chorus which tried to sound
exceedingly jubilant when it de-
clared: "Halleluja. we have held
back the enemy successfully for six
months, long enough to complete our
Notifications, it is too late for an
ack on our fortress nowl"

ArmOr For AviatOrs

After tests in actual raids, it is announced that
the crews of American bombers will be equipped with
protective that is expected to the lives of
many airmen.
The armor is made of heavy canvas to which are
attached small overlapping squares of 20guage STEEL
1t gives complete coverage the chest and back for
men, standing or seated.
When first proposed, the armor not enthus-
astcaly received by of the bombers but after
experience proved that the additional weight would
often save mans life, became interested and
combat men began seeking the newly devised armor.

U. S. Male Dynasty Ending

The long standing male dynasty in the United
States is about to to end according to Frank
R. Wilson, Assistant to Secretary of Commerce Jesse
Jones'
Mr.. Wilson points out that the 100000 male ma
jority which the nation had in 1910 is being whitfield
away at the rate of 100000 year. Sometime this
year. he says the nation will from its traditional
role as youthful nation" and become one OF the
so called "eder nations"
While nature provides approximately one hundred
six males to one hundred females, Mr. Wilson points
out that the lenghening of the life span of the weaker
SEX combined with the greater vulnerability OF the
stronger to the hazards of life, will end the pre-
dominance of males, characteristic OF youthful
nations.
