u. 5. PROPAGANDA
IN OCCUPIED ZONES
Nevada State JournaD

Nevada State JournaD
Although Elmer Davis admits that
there is almost no way of finding out
what effect American propaganda is hav-
ing on the people of the enemy and subju-
gated countries till the war is further
along he reports some signs of success.
Writing in the Saturday Review of Liter
ature he says that the British, who are
able to monitor German long wave broad
casts, have reported denials of propagan-
ola broadcasts that originated in the Unit
ed States Denial means that they hurt.
Recently German broadcast beamed
at this country took notice of a London
statement that 100000 people had been
killed by the Germans in occupied coun-
tries. But. according to Mr.. Davis, the
Germans blamed British and American
propaganda They said that it had ''caus-
ed unrest among the populations, result
ing in resistance to German occupation
authorities" Thus goes the war of propa-
ganda.
But there is no doubt about the effect
of what is, after all. the most powerful
propaganda. That propaganda is the
truth about the war. When Germany
was winning and was able to report prog
ress, the effect was to brighten the anti
axis powers into an about effort.
Now that the NaZis are losing, and the
truth is being told by the United Nations,
the German people are sure to be discour-

THE OLD DEAL AGAIN
(Redding Record)

(keQQlng RecOFQ)
1t appears that neither the Willkleltes
nor the anti-Willkie inside the republican
party are entirely happy over the selec--
ton of Harrison E. Spangler as national
chairman and the national committees
lack Of action as to program and policies
The Chicago Tribune, principal Mid
west COP journal declares the question
has been raised by developments 'wheth-
err a new party should not be formed"
1t mentions the 1910 election with a refer
ence to Mr.. WILKES fraud and treach-
cry"
The independent San Francisco News,
also anti-New Deal and a supporter in
1910 of Willkie, berates the party organ
izations for not coming forth with any
sort of program to replace the New
Deal. 1t finds the leaders yielding to
temptation Ito pussyfoot and hope that
the voters will take the COPS good inten-
tions on faith"
Generalities, the News adds, may not
be enough. 1--WE believe the country
wants definite assurance that it isn't just
the Old Deal that would be restred. A
party that aspires to leadership two years
hence ought to start proving now that it
knows how and where to lead"

NATIONAL SOCIALISTS
AWAITING THEIR CHANCE

Persons operating under many aliases,
but whose goal amounts to practical ma
tional socialism, are already engaged
within the framework Of our government
in plans to establish even greater state
control over business in order to meet the
postwar emergency. They have TOR
years been attempting to break down the
system of private enterprise, and substl-
tute for it a system Of government con-
troll.
The war gives them a grand opportu-
nifty to put their theories into practice,
without the slightest objection from any
one. We all realize that central coordi-
nation is necessary now, that prlorltles
must exist, that curbs must be set on bus
mess as usual We welcome the controls,
because this is war, and we've got to WIN
it the quickest way.
But, if peace is to bring normal Tree,
dom back to America, business itself
must take over the job of planning for
after the war. Not should" Must! 1t
is something that is going to be done. II
business does not do it, government IS
going to.
If business falls down now in its long
range planning, private enterprise can
have no cause for complaint against what
will happen later. The man who Will
have cause is the average American, who
looks to someone for planning. If he has
to look to government-and take the con-
seouences-he is not going to feel TOO
lenient toward industrial leaders.

LONDON, Jan. 4. - 'CUP)-Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika
Korps is making a determined and
possibly final stand in Libya with
the aid of important reinforce
ments including force of Stuka
dive bombing planes, advices from
Africa disclosed today.
Rommel is making his stand on
the Wadi Fem Fem, 230 miles from
Funisia and only ITO miles from Tri-
poll, capital of Libya.
His Stukas and other planes are
, offering strong challenge to the
Allied air force which for weeks
had ruled the Libyan skies.
ITALIANS KNOCKED OUT
United Press adviced reported
that an italian rear guard, left to
defend the Blu Gnem (Bu NgemD
fort, on the eastern arm of the
Wadi Bel Ell Chebir, had been
knocked out. They set the place
on fire and fled westward.
Stronger Axis rear guards were
now holding the Wadi, or dried
river bed, of Fem Fem, however,
and the approaches to it and Brit
ish mobile armored forces were
hacking them all along their front.
The main Eighth Army had now
reached the Wadi Bel Ell Chebir, it
was disclosed, and it was indicated
that Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery,
commanding the British Eighth
army, was getting ready for the
big push which he expected to talk
him on to Tripoli.
But the dispatches revealed why
communicates of the Middle East
Urn command had reported no SUBJ
stantial progress on the Libyan
front for many days.
ATTACK IN TUNISIA
Today'S communique said merely
that there was no report from the
land forces and there had been no
aerial activity over the battle area
yesterday.
Middle Eastern command planes
joined, however, in the ferocious
Allied offensive on Axis positions
in Tunisia by bombing the ports
of Sousse and 'TuniS Saturday
night.
African dispatches said American
planes and anti-tank units had now
joined the French forces under
Gen. Alphonse JUN who are hold
ing 100 miles of the front south OF
Tunis, facing the east coast.
JUN in a communique last night
reported that German troops had
made an attack in force, with many
tanks, on his line southeast of Pr
chon, 80 miles south of Tunis, early
yesterday.
GERMANS RETREAT
The Germans succeeded in driv-
ing back the French in the first
phase of their attack but the
French counterattacked with such
vigor that the Germans gave up

American AirInen
Blast Japanese
Al GuadaIcanal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. CUP)-
There was little time for New Years
celebrating on Guadalcanal Island
American airmen unloaded tons
of bombs on enemy bases and ship
ping in at least six raids during the
first three days of 1913. Complete
reports for Jan. 3 have not been
received.
Among the new year accom- rlish-
ments of the Americans were two
attacks on q detachment of Japa-
nese destroyers, possibly sinking
two.
Activity on and around Guadal-
canal has increased during the last
week, indicating a renewed enemy
attempt to reinforce and supply
hard pressed troops on the north
ern end of the island. A week ago
supply laden parachutes were found
on the north shore. Since then pa
troll activity has accounted for at
least 220 Japanese killed and almost
daily there have been raids on Jap
anese bases in the central and
northwestern SolomonS.
The navyS CommuniQue did not
say whether the destroyers attack
ed in the two raids were the same,
but the location of the attacks and
the time differential made it OBJ
vious that they were.
The first attack came at 1926 PM,
Saturday, 80 miles south of Short
land Island. Flying Fortresses, es-
corted by Lightnings, participated
but observed no hits. But they re-
ported the location of the enemy
vessels and at pm, dauntlesS
dive bOmbers escorted by Wildcats
and Lightnings, returned. The Sec
ond attack was some 60 miles south
of the first one. American airrnen
avoided the 10 enemy fighters and
one dive bomber escorting the de-
stroyers and dropped their bomb
loads among the war vessels. One
was left burning and another APP
peared to be sinking.
A third air raid occurred the
same day At 800 am, Marauder

The Buna government station was

Yesterday the American and Aus
