9Th Army Faces
Great Resistance

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. (UP)-
The Germans are reinforcing their
units in Italy and the British Eighth
army is encountering stiffer resist
ance as it advances up the coast,
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
said today.
StimSon said the number of Ger
man divisions in Italy now is es-
timated at between 20 and 25.
American casualties in Italy in
the first four weeks since the land
ing on Salerno have numbered Sill
killed, 5428 wounded and 1858 miss
ing, he said.
Stimson said he understood these
were somewhat heavier than the
casualties suffered b. British COM
ponents of the Fifth army partici-
pating the landing. ..- q. ~
The port of Naples, he said, prob
ably will be restored to partial oper-
alton in a short time. ss.
Stimson said the task of feeding
the Neapolitan population of 600,-
900 facing starvation, was enor-
nous, but that supplies were now
reaching Naples in large amounts,

make up our committees. Frankly,
it's because they are mostly busy
farmers who are doing more than
their part by taking on this extra
job and they haven't time to listen
to the complaints of your neighbor
down the road who didn't get his
hay rake application approved. He
can make an official appeal at the
war board office if he wishes.
This farm machinery rationing
job is about all we can ask one
group of men to do so we have set
up a farm transportation COM
mittee to do the heavy worrying
about trucks and general transpor-
tation.
All trucks used on the farm or to
haul agricultural products must
have certificates of war necessity
issued by the ODT on the recon-
mendation of this group without
it, they can not be supplied with
gas. oil, tires or repair parts.
MUST HAVE CERTIFICATES
New tducks are all but impossible
to get but there are very few
being released. Before the dealer
can sell one, he has to have a
certificate from Washington and
the statement of this committee is
considered before the certificate is
issued
Without such an organization as
this, it would be hard for COM
munity with special conditions like
ours to get the picture of its
problems before the authorities.
The committee and the war board
are constantly working for larger
quota sand supporting their re-
quests by showing the large volume
of essential produce that has to be
trucked in and out of the valley,
calling attention to the distances
involved and the fact that the rail-
roads are unable to handle 1t all.
So much for two of our COM
mittees. There are more that we
will tell about when space permits.

Mr.. James Caesar Petrillo having
granted the boon long withheld by him,
luke boxes will soon be able to give forth
new sounds.
Whether this is good thing, as far
as the ears are concerned, we do not say.
Some of our colleagues think the Juke
box ought to be abolished by Constltu-
tional amendment or presidential fiat,
and the torch put to all those hideously
iridescent temples of swing and Groom
that dominate the decor of million tav-
erns. hamburger stands, and what not
Others in the office confess to putting
a nickel in the slot themselves on occa-
sion. SO we defer judgment.
However, we can at least admit to
conviction that it has been disgraceful
spectacle for single man, controlling
a labor union with cZarist absoluteness,
to command the dissolution Of an indus
try and so dictate, to degree the folk
ways of a whole nation.
And we wish Congress would get
around to revoking the statutory carte
blanche under which Petrillo and other
labor leaders can and do thumb their
noses at the antitrust laws.

BY Imperial County USDA
War Board Information Editors

Supplies of steel, copper and al
loys in the United States just
aren't large enough to give the
armed forces all they need and
still permit the manufacture of all
the trucks, farm machinery and re-
pair parts that civilians need.
First call, naturally, goes to the
fighting forces. The limited amount
that is left must be used where it
will do the war effort the most
good.
County USDA war boards are re-
sponsible for seeing to it that this
is done where agriculture is con-
cerned, by making recommenda-
tions on distribution of the scarce
items to individuals and on adjust
ment of quotas when a county is
allocated such small supply that
it can't produce necessary foods.
QUOTA INCREASED
We were told last February, for
instance, that Imperial county was
to have Is wheel tractors for the
year. We shouted SO loud and SO
long that our quota was increased
to 102 and we may get still more.
The work involved in distributing
wheel tractors, hay balers, COM
bines, and the rest is tremendous
or, as Hollywood says, colossal.
So we set up a six-man farm
machinery rationing committee that
works without pay and generally
without thanks, sitting applications
and recommending approval of
some, disapproval of others.
When they recommend approva,
on piece of farm machinery, that
doesn't mean it is going to the man
who can make the most money by
having it but to the one who will
use it to produce the greatest guam
tity of essential crops.
DON'T TELL NAMES

mention the names of the men who

DISCONTENT THE OBJECTIVE

Berlin calling the American Ex-
peditionary Force" sings out Midge
by way of station identification.
Have a nice weekend? I'll bet
you're sizzling over there In North
Africa"
This is probably intended to
make the troops discontended.
"HaIlO, SREF!" she greeted
them on another program. Then
she went on to explain that SREF
stood for Samuel ROsenman's
ExpeditiOnary Force" and that
Samuel Rosenman was the man
who was in charge Of the govern
ment in Washington at the time
the plot was Matched to send the
American troops to Africa.
Most of the troops probably never
heard of Rosenman, but this will
give you an idea of the type OF
stuff the Nazis pick up and capital
ize on.
This one is told by Midge:
A little girl is saying good night
TO her mother, daddy presumably
being over there: Mother, need
brush the tooth the dentist is going
to pull tomorrow"
Or try this one: -
Midge: Can you tell me Napol-
cons nationality?
Fritz: Course can.
Midge: That's right.
Fritz: What do you mean, that's
right? .
Midge: COrsican.

ANTI-NEGRO A

The build-up is to establish Lin
coin as a faithful retainer, whom
Mrs. White identifies to Comrade
Popovsky as "one of the family"
Popovsky already knows Lincoln,
having made his acquaintance at a
meeting of the Cultured Uplift Soc
iety, at which Popovsky made
talk filled with good StaliniSt doc
trine that all races are equal.
Popovsky is explaining this to Mrs.
Cold White when Lincoln speaks up
as follows:
"Ah, dat is what Mrs. Roosevelt
said in her column the other day
that Us of the dark skinned races,
mixing with the cultured people of
the nation, would produce better
progeny. or something of the kind"
Says Mrs. Cold White: ITS alb
solutely. true. I agree with her"
Again ycu realize what straws the
Nazis are grabbing at to create dis
unity. Anyway
The Climax of the skit comes
when Frances appears and an
nounces that, following the beliefs
of her mother, she and Lincoln are
to be married. And the announcer
cuts in to say that the descendants
of Mrs. Cold White will all be coal
black.
This is the picture the Nazis are
trying to build up in Home, Sweet
Home" If it isn't sickening enough
for you, you should read the script
of the program in which Fritz de-
scribes Midge over the radio for her
friends in Africa, since he can't
send them her picture.
Says the announcer to Midge: II
want to tell them about your hair
and your eges and your thighs-I
mean your size"
There follows a lot more sug-
gestive drivel, including the line,
I'm seduction, it's the introduction
that counts and in which the an
nocalcer gives Midge descriptive
going over that is about the closest
thing to radio ravishment that will
ever be recorded. It's purpose, OBJ
oiously, Is to weaken the moral
fiber of the American troops. This

.ure.

California Progress Review
The third war loan drive is over! Now
some of us may feel that we can pause
and rest awhile until the next campaign
comes along Well, We can't. The war
isn't stopping with the close of the bond
drive.
The home front and the fighting front
have some striking similarities. For in
stance, after their successful stand at
Sa,arno, the American troops did not
pause. The enemy was retreatlng. 1t
was important to keep him going that
way.
SO here at home. We are winning the
battle of dollars. But we can't stop.
We've got to keep on winning-to stay
in there and keep pitching.
1t is estimated that for every soldier
overseas we must ship one ton of food
and equipment for each month he is in
action 1t is also estimated that we
now have more than 100000 men 'over
there. The supplies must keep rolling
if our men are to keep on fighting. And
the dollars must keep rolling in If we
are to have the money. to buy those sup
plies. -... ....
It should be remembered that a war

DEMOTION

Dissatisfaction has been expressed by
two congressman. of differing political
affiliation, over the punishment meted
out by an army court-martial to Col
William T. Colman. There seems to be
merit in their protests. Colonel Colman
was denoted to captaincy. AS punish
ment. that is ample But as protection
for army efficiency and army morale, 1t
does not seem quite adequate.
The charges against Colonel Colman
were not directed at his technical qualifi-
cations. but rather to his moral, ethical
and temperamental qualities. If he was
found so deficient in these as to warrant
demotion by three grades, there is
question whether he is fit to exercise the
executive and disciplinary functions of
n captaincy.

UNION DUES FROM SOLDIERS

Leon Schacter business manager OF the
Meat ;yd Cannery Workers Union,
scents a smear against union LABOR
when the president of the New Jersey
Farm Bureau discloses that soldiers,
who were furloughed to work in Gamer
les in an emergency, were required to pay
union dues.
We think Mr.. Schacter is unduly sensl-
tive. Mr.. VOORHEES, did say, when he de-
scribed the incident, that he was shocked
beyond words" He is not the only one
who feels that way about such SITUATION
Mr.. Schacter. on behalf of the union,
does not deny that the soldiers, who went
into the cannery because manpoWer was
so short that huge quantities OF tomatoes
were ready to spoil, were required to pay
union dues in order to help save vital
food.
On the contrary, he gives details. The
canneries were operating under a closed
shop agreement, he says, and therefore
nobody could work in them without pay
ing union dues. The soldiers didn't have
to work there. They could have gone on
to Fort Dix and let the tomatoes rot.
What happened there has happened in
at least several instances elsewhere
Emergencies have arisen in which too
scarce foodstuffs would have spoiled for
lack of help to harvest and handle and
process them. The army has given fur
loughs to those who volunteered to help.
The men continued to receive their army
pay, and were permitted to receive also
the wages for the work they did.
Under army regulations soldiers in
uniform are not permitted to compete
with civilian labor In time of war SOL
diers can not take off their uniforms,
technically (though actually, in dirty
work, they may do so occasionally, unot-
ficially..
But theoretically they are in uniform
when they help out in such emergencies,
and therefore can not compete" with
the non-existent civilian help whose alb
sence caused the emergencies.
If these Fort Dix soldiers had not paid
union dues they would have been COM
peting with civilians. Since they PAID
the dues there was no competition.
New Jersey farmers are described as
being "very incensed." Mr.. Schacter can
not understand why. San you?
