BOMBED, U. 5.
TASK FORCE.
Second Assault Since Fall
of Marine Garrison.
December, 1941

PEARL HARBOR, Oct. Jap
anese installations on the garrison
at Wake Island have been heavily
bombed and shelled by, strong
task force of the Pacific fleet.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz said
the force was commanded by Rear
Admiral Alfred E. Montgomery and
included an aircraft carrier. No de-
tails of the attack are given.
The offensive stroke followed by
a day, the disclosure at headquar-
tiers that the strategic Pacific con-
ference had been held.
The assault on Wake Island, i'm
mortalized the first weeks of the
war by the heroic Today stand Of
the marine garrison, was the sec :
ond since Wake fell in December
49,, 1941. The first raid was made
February "a, 1912.
Wake Island Is 1900 miles from
Hawaii,
The Wake attack follows closely
the bombing of Marcus Island on
August 80 and the bombing of GIL
bert and Naru Islands ON September
II and and Is. s-
This indicates that the Japanese
Central Pacific defense perimeter
will undergo steady punching in the
new phase of the Pacific war. Wake
was also raided seven times by
heavy bombers.

Rehabi|itafing Of
Europe's Storthed
Earth Big Problem
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-vReports
from that portion of Italy now in
Allied hands are that the United
Nations are face to face with the
realities of rehabilitation and the
picture is not pretty.
1t is apparent the Nazis are going
to strip the whole of Europe and
occupied portions of Asia of every
thing that is edible or of any use
whatever in their war effort.
Not only that, but in Italy they
have planted mines all over the
farm lands, blown up food process
ing and fertilizer plants, destroyed
transportation, and blasted irriga-
ton works.
Here is no simple problem like
that faced by AMG and the Office
of Foreign Relief and Rehabilita-
ton in Tunisia and Sicily. The
Nazis had comparatively little OPP
portunity to scorch the earth there.
In Italy, there is the problem of
clearing the land of mines, supply
ing farmers with tools and fertili-
ger, putting the irrigation works
back in order "a job of months and
years in some sections, and re-
means of transporta-
ton before the nation can even put
in it's crops. In the meantime, these
people have to be fed if they are to
be kept from starving.
Italy's chief native grain supply
is in the Pc valley, where the Nazis

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
txsjor Robert Q. Allen on active dutyJ


WASHINGTON - Ed Stettinius,
the new Undersecretary Of State, Is
known by washington insiders for
three things:
% How wrong he was regarding
aluminium; Cd How right he was
regarding rubber; and Cd His close
association with the Russians.
The platinum- haired young U. ..
Steel executive was the man who
took the word of the ALUMINIUM
CORPORATION that it could supply
ample aluminium and refused to
okay more factory facilities at a
time when Leon Henderson, Bob
Nathan and other planners were
warning, wringing their hands, and
yelling that we must prepare TO
produce more aluminium. 4
Learning his lesson from alumni
UNI. Stettinius later got out in front
and on rubber he was the man who
constantly .needled Jesse Jones for
nearly two years, urging that we
begin building synthetic rubber
plants-al1 to no avail. Jesse would
not listen.
Stettinius' experience with the
Russians was what influenced his
appointment as Undersecretary Of
state. 1t began when lend-lease
was pitful driblet trickling through
to the Red Army. The Russians.
promised mountains, but given mole
hills, were distressed. They could
not understand the red tape. the de-
lays
Once Gen. Golikov, first head Of
the Russian lend-lease mission In
washington, went to the White
House and. speaking through an in
terpreter, said that il Stain had
ordered thing done and then found
it didn't get done for three weeks,
the men responsible for the delay
would be kicked out. Later, Gen.
Golikov, disguised, went back to
Russia, is winning victories as COM
mander of the Bryansk front.
RUSSIANS PUZZLED
What the Russians couldn't
understand was that the United
States. the most industralized ma
ton in the world, the wealthiest,
and one of the biggest. had only a
few tanks, only q few guns, very
little ammunition.
They did not realize that the U.
8. A., firm believer in peace, ac-
tually maintained, until short
time before Pearl Harbor, one of
the smallest armies in the world.
So, for a while the Russians ac-
tually thought we were holding out
on them.
Gradually. however, Ed Stettinius
dispelled this idea. He really went

of the President have been jerked from the battle
fronts by the Commander in Chief?"
This sort of TRADE provides it's own answer. 1t
lis SO obviously born of hatred and malice that it
should be unnecessary to observe that James Roose-

which almost fatal, four years ago; and that
Franklin Roosevelt has suffered severely from
catarrhal fever.
Both these sons of the President have distin-
guished themselves in active military service Both
have been fighting in where they risked their
lives day in and day out
James was one of the leaders of the raid on
Maxim Island, for which he was cited for bravery.
Franklin, Jr. gunnery officer on destroyer
during the North African invasion
The President could have kept both of them out
of the line of fire. He didn't He didn't because he
knew that his wanted to serve their country,
as the sons Of other parents do; and he and Mrs.
Roosevelt are entitled to the pride that any
American parents have when their serve with
honor and courage.
But because they are sons of the President,
they are also targets for those who hate the Presi
dent And this is not the first belowthe-belt TRADE
Of the kind.
William P Lambertsons own war record consists
If period spent in an officers training camp dur
ing the last war. We find no evidence that he
ever saw action on any front anywhere
He is also the same William P. Lambertson who
told Congress December d. 1884, three days before

"There is not anybody worrying about Hitler
coming here and attacking US Nobody is worry
ing about Japan coming here and attacking us
The President of the United States has assumed the

Such is the man who, from comfortable seat
in washington sings slime at men fighting for their
country-sin1ply because they happen to be sons OF

Coffee has been Brazirs most important export.
But from october to November % last Brazil
was able to export only 80 percent of the quota set
by the United States according to dispatch from
Rio de Janeiro. Other countries, both in Latin
America and abroad, have averaged 7.6 percent Of
their quotas and Brazil doesn't like it.
So Brazilian shippers have offered two practical
solutions Ore boats leaving the country sail about
half empty because of the weight of the cargo They
suggest that the boats load say, 1000 less tons
of and take 1000 tons of coffee which means
$1,000 bags. Also ships returning empty from D,-
