While Detroit motorists damned

$50 MILES A MONTH
Under the new setup. an A book
allows 40 miles a month of driv-

coupon value reduction. Those APP
plying for supplemental rationS

the remaining so applies on the
supplemental allowance.
Supplemental holders are given
a slightly increased proportion of
their A books for personal use.
Formerly, they were allowed only
80 miles a month of personal

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ia QNSy
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill announced in Z
joint statement tonight that Allied
forces had sunk more than 50
Axis submarines during the last
three months.
The Anglo-American report on
the successful progress of anti
submarine warfare in the Atlantic
and Mediterranean, issued stimuli
taneously in Washington and Lon.
don, was made public shortly after
the President and prime minister
met secretly to inaugurate a new
series of conferences on the future
conduct of the war.
Their strategy talks, present lo-
cation of which has not been dis
closed, are to be continued next
week in Canada.
GET UPPER HAND
The review of anti-U-boat op-
erations furnished further spec.
tacular.proof that the Allies have
the upper hand in the battle Of
the Atlantic. But the President
and prime minister warned that
Germany still has extensive sub
marine reserves and that there
can be no relaxation in the battle
at sea or in the construction Of
vitality needed merchant shipping.
To illustrate the decline in the
effectiveness of the U-boats, the
President and prime minister dis
closed that in 1943 new ships
completed by the Allies exceeded
all sinkings from all causes by
upward of 1900. 900 tons.
I'm 1912, according to a state
ment issued by Secretary Of
the Navy Knox last April,
United Nations merchant shin
losses exceeded new construc-
ton by about 100000 gross
tons.

"Our offensive operations
against Axis submarines con-
tinue to progress most favor
ably In all areas" the statement
said, "and during May, Juno
and July We have sunk at sea q
total of over 80 U-boats, which
represents an average loss Of
nearly one U-Boat n day over
the period.

Allies Reject
Rome S Claim
AS Open City
Must Have Proof
All War Targets
Are Removed

LONDON, Aug. IA (INS) Italy
today officially declared Rome an
open city. but Allied sources were
quick TO make clear that the
bombing OF military detectives IN
the Eternal City will not be
halted until they are satisfied all
wartime installations have been
removed from the capital.
Twenty-four hours after u. S.
airmen, led by Mai. Gen. Doc
little, gave Rome's marshaling
yards and airfelds their second
pounding Of the war. the Italian
Stefani news agency said the
government Of Marshal Badogho
and King Victor Emmanuel had
decided 10 seek open" status for
the city in view Of the repeti-
ton of air raids"
ALLIES NOT BOUND
But the British government inn
mediately issued formal state
ment announcing that Britain
was not affected by the Italian
decision and declaring that ''un-
lateral declara ton cannot affect
the full liberty OF action Of the
commander in chief, indicating
Rome still will be bombed If the
Allied cause demands il.
The United Nations radio at
Algiers said Rome will not be con-
sidered open" until all govern
ment agencies, ministries, mill
tary organizations and war indus
tries are removed. Until that
time, the broadcast intimated. the
bombing OF military detectives in
the Italian capital will continue.
TEXT OF ANNOUNCEMENT

that Italy is taking the necessary
steps. according 10 international
law, 10 strip Rome of all military

By WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST
THE totalitarians belong to past era.
They are throwbacks.
They have no proper place in any modern
system of society or government and will not
endure in it.
Which, does any one think, represents modern
civilized development the better an egotistic auto
crat initiating his expansive chest and beating
war challenge on it like an Infatuated gorilla in
an African forest, or calm thoughtful earnest
able man like Mr.. Chamberlain unselfshly seek
ing to preserve peace for the welfare of his ceun-
try and of the world.
1t is not the democraces which are Stupid"
1t is the autocracies which are not only stupid,
but wholly out of date.
They will eventually fall under the weight of
their own incongruity and inconsistency.
Neither the autocracy of fascism nor the class
despotism of communism will destroy democracy.
Democracy is the natural form of govern
ment for enlightened human beings and the more
enlightened people become the more they will de-
mand democracy, and the more they will resent
tyranny.
The more too, they will be able to exercise
the powers of democracy wisely and justly.
T HAVE the friendest feeling toward Great
i Britain and the British Empire, and l admire
their policies of enlightened self-interest.
/ think America should be equally enlightened
regarding its own interest
l think we Americans generally would have
still more friendlineSs for the British Empire If
British statesmen were not so continually en-
deavoring to use us to our own disadvantage and
to Britain'S benefit.
We do not think that friendliness necessarily
involves complete sacrifice of our own welfare.
We made such sacrifice once and got not
even thanks for it-not even acknowledgment
and surely no repayment of obligations.
Wherefore, we are not disposed to immediate
ourselves again on the altar of friendship for
Britain.
However, we are glad to be friendly to the
British Empire if we do not have to paw too
heavily for the privilege.
| think it was very proper and pleasant
gesture to invite King George and Queen Eliza
beth to visit America.
| am sure they will be very courteously received
by our people, but do not think their visit will
materially affect American opinion ON the desira-
bihty Of looking out for the welfare of America.

will eventually disintegrate All empires have
done so.
But think the day of disntegration is afar
The British Empire will probably get stronger
before it gets weaker. -
Canada is an empire in itself So is Australia.

must be filled for our own good
as well as theirs. But there is big
ger cause for these shortages-ev-
cry farmer is straining his resour-
ces of labor and farm machinery
to produce food crops, and a large
acreage from which grass and le-
gume seed would ordinarily have
been harvested has been plowed
and used for other crops. Also. in
increasing livestock production
farmers have used larger Quanti-
ties of these crops than usual to
fill in shortages of other feeds.
Mr. Phillips says that there are
in Delaware many excellent stands
of red clover. A few farmers leave
the second cutting for seed. This
seed produced in Delaware has, in
trials in the state, given much bet
ter hay yields than much of the seed
brought in from other states. This
year. with a short seed supply and
a good price, Delaware farmers
should harvest just as much red
clover seed as possible. OF course.
the hay crop may be short in many
sections on account of dry wea-
ther. However, we must make
plans now for our seed supply or
the hay crop during the next two
years will be reduced even more
by shortages of seed to sow.

NEVER FINISHED

When a tank or plane rolls out
of a factory, the JOB of building
that particular item is finished. BY
comparison. the job of the rail-
roads is never finished. First, they
must move the materials to the
factory TO be fashioned into i'm
plements of war. When that is
done, they must then haul the COM
pleted weapons to point of en-
barkation to fighting fronts. Dur
ing 1912. nearly one million car
loads of export freight were de-
livered to the ports by rail. In
March, 1943, unloading of export
and coastal freight at United
States ports totaled more than 1OO,-
900 cars.
The railroads are a continental
assembly line stretching from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, NOV
ing the materials of war through
various productive processes in
virtually every stage of develop
ment. But this is not the end of
lnC JOU AOI luC idllIOduos II IdhCb
men to man the weapons. The
railroads must move millions of
men from their homes to military
training camps, and then from
these hundreds of camps to ports
of embarkation for distant fighting
fronts.
With all of this. the job of the
railroads is still merely beginning.
Gasoline and rubber shortages
have caused millions of people to
turn to the railroads. In the first
three months of 1943, passenger
is, the number of pas
sengers carried for a distance of
one mile-were about 80 per cent
more. than they were in the cor
period of 1912. Thru
out the war, the railroads have had
to carry on their own peacetime
duties of keeping the nation fed
and clothed and warm and at work,
as well as shouldering those of
other agencies which formerly
shared in this task, such as coast
wise shipping.
1t is not surprising that the pub
lie has warm spot in its heart for
the railroads. They have done and
are continuing to do a job as inn
as it is endless. And
they are doing it we'll.

WORKING. IN SILENCE

? No headlines herald the prog

its efforts to distribute adequate
medical care to every section oi
the country. AS usual it serves in
silence.
The American Medical Journal
points out that there are two OBJ
jectives which the doctors seek

mel and the health protection of
the largest number of people; sec
ond, the doing of this in such a

Moves are afoot to ease medical
licensing restrictions between
states. This has been a stumbling
block in the way of physicians NOV
ing from state to state in accord
ance with the needs of areas crit
ically short of doctors. Another i'm
portant step was the recent form
ulation of plans whereby the Uni
ted States Public Health Service
could help meet the need for medi-
cal services in critical areas. The
doctors are striving, irrespective
of thinning ranks, to maintain one
to 1900 people. In some
cases the average may be less, but
even so Americans will still be the
best cared for people in the world.
In Germany doctors are practi-
cally non-existent for civilians.
Russia is no better. This fact
should be noted carefully. Both the !
Russian and German medical sys-
TENS were prepared for war under
planned" dictatorial economies, /
yet the test of global war found
hem both wanting as compared to
he progressive American medical |
system, built on Sthe foundation of
