FORTRESS OF ASIA
CNew York Times)

NANNW AOsh
 Pearl Harbor IS sufficient proof that Japan reveals her war plans only when she strikes. So the loud propaganda accompanying Premier Tojos visit to Japanese-o occupied China and the visit of Dr. Ba Nav. the Burmese puppet, to Tokyo. all calculated to create an idyllic pie ture of Japan quietly consolidating her conquests and preparing only to defend them, has hollow ring Continuous enemy concentrations north of Australia and unusual ene- my activity in the Aleutian both suggest that Japan means to strike hard when she believes her hour has sounded. Her leaders know a war of conquest that depends on defense alone is lost war.
 Nevertheless. Japan is building an Asiatic fortress just as Germany has built her Fortress of Europe. The same urgent necessity impels both nations to hold their empires of loot at any cost. Japan is probably in the better position of the two. She has Attlu tV AACGg AtO HtbJ0h GgHaAsSt ~1A . fensive and the riches of the lands she has subdued are inexhaustible.

THE GOOD SHIP AMY LOWELL

(New Haven Journal-CurrieD
 Tn California on Saturday LIb- erty ship was launched and given the name Amy Lowell in honor of the New England poet by that name. Related to James Russell Lowell and sister of Harvard's A. Lawrence Lowell, Amy was more than a poet; she was a personality ana a battler.

the big black cigars she smoked but that is to miss the point. Her ener' gy was prodigious and she never stopped writing. She was versatile and she experimented with all sorta of styles and sources of material.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Dolph
Camill, veteran first baseman re-
Gently obtained by the New York
Giants from the Brooklyn Dodgers,
announced today he was quitting
baseball
Camilli, who came to the Giants
with Pitcher Johnny Allen in deal
that sent Pitchers Bill Lohrman and
Bill Sayles and Infielder Joe Orengo
to Brooklyn, made the announce
ment after a two-hour conference
with Manager Mel OFT and President
Horace Stoneham of the New York
club.
Il feel that can't be of any help
to the Giants" said Camilli, who
is experiencing his poorest year at
the plate. Two years ago he was
voted the National Leagues most
valuable player award and topped
the circuit in home runs and runs
batted in. This season he has hit
only six homers and is batting
under $50.
After Camilli's conference, Allen
talked for a few minutes with OFT
and then said he would be in a New
York uniform tomorrow when the
Giants open long home stand
against the Phillies.

LONDON. Aug. 5.-A strong in

for a crushing load of bombs came
today from the RAF commentator.
"Berliners must be watching the
shrinkage of daylight with some
concern" he said, adding that the
Relchs capital was considered an
important target because it was the
seat of government and great in
dustrial center.
1t also is very important target
from the standpoint of morale. Ber-
lin means a lot to Germany. There
always has been a certain amount
OF bother whenever Berlin was hit.
Ihe German people have made a
tremendous moan about it. Ber-
liners themselves, however, have not
moaned so much when the Ruhr
has been raided."

WHOM Chief Testifies
He Fired Announcer
On Insistence Of owl
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Joseph
Lang, operator of Foreign language
Broadcasting Station WHOM in
New York, told congressional sub
committee today he dismissed an
announcer at the repeated request
of an official of the Office of War
information, although private in
vestigation showed no reason for
doing SO.
Mr.. Lang testified he dismissed
Miss Elsa Maria Troja from Station
WHOM's staff at the request of Lee
Falk, radio chief of the Owls
foreign-language division.
The witness quoted Mr.. Falk as
insisting that Miss Troja had Nazi
inclinations." Mr.. Lang said he
asked Mr. Falk many times to supply
him with specific facts which
might show disloyalty on Miss
Troja's part, and that Mr.. Falk
failed to supply any.
Ordered Investigation.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lang testified, he
employed a private investigator to
inquire into Miss Troja's back
ground. and the investigator found
no evidence of disloyalty to the
United States, but finally, after sew
eral months, the announcer was dis
missed in June, 1912.
Mr.. Lang testified before a sub
committee of the Cox congressional
committee investigating all phases
of the Federal Communications
Commission, which has been accused
in some quarters of exceeding Its
powers.
Eugene L. Carey, counsel for the
subcommittee, headed by Repre-
sentative Edward J. Hart, Democrat,
of New Jersey, said recently it was
named to investigate "the Gestapo
angles" of the FEC and that some
phases of the Owl might be investi-
gated incidentally.
Two Announcers Dismissed.
Earlier testimony that radio sta
ton VICES in Chicago dismissed
two announcers last November for
fear its license would not be re-
newed was given by its owner, Gene
T. Dyer.
Mr.. Dyer identified the dismissed
announcers as Stefano Luotto and
Reno Conci. He testified they were
dismissed because station manage
ment understood the FEC objected
to their employment and that as a
result the foreign language stations
license was in jeopardy.
The station owner testified that he
knew the FEC had no legal way of
forcing Mr. Luotto's dismissal-that
only the Office of Censorship had
such power-and that the censorship
agency wrote him it had no objec-
ton to Mr.. Luotto's broadcasting
activities.
Eugene L. Carey, counsel to the
Evening star., 1943-08-05

congressional investigators, asked
Mr.. Dyer why he dismissed Mr.. Lu-
otto in view Of those circumstances,
and the witness replied:
Il thought it would facilitate the
granting of the license"
Mr.. Carey asked if the FEC did
not force Mr.. Luottos dismissal
through threatening and coercing," j"
and Mr.. Dyer answered "yes"
The attorney then asked Mr.. Dyer
II dismissal of Mr.. Luotto was not a
denial of "one of the four freedoms
freedom from want" since the
announcer had not been able to get
another job, and Mr.. Dyer re-
sponded, Il suppose So"

ON ORGANIZING THE
JJNORCANIZED EGG

ondary collection center, such as thu
F. U. Cooperative Creamery at Chi
nook; third, the major collection, stor
ing and processing center as the F
u. Cooperative Creamery at Grea1
Falls; and fourth, the central selling
agency would serve entirely in the
capacity of making the market con
facts and selling the product of the
major Co-ops, which would now have
these products in fresh, frozen, or
processed form This total organiza-
tion ould, and would, of course, han
die other dairy and poultry products,
as we'll as supply other farmer serv-
ices. But here we are concerned pri-
marily with eggs.
Some such total organization to
take the egg from the farm to the
national or even the world market is
necessary to take the egg business
out of its present chaotic status and
give it something of the price sta
bility that today can be achieved only
through organization and mass han
ding.
A coroIary to the above suggested
organization and mass handling is of
course quality production and stan
dardization of grades. But neither of
these can be achieved except through
the same organized effort. When we
have achieved an organization for
quality production, for standardized
grading, and for mass collection and
marketing we shall have taken the
necessary steps to make the national
support of 35c on eggs effective for
Montana communities, and not until
then. Also only at this point and on
this basis can the facilities of the
Agricultural Marketing Administra-
tion be utilized, and thus, only on this
basis can the farmers of Montana
directly benefit from this further ma
tionaI support.
The state goal on egg production
for 1943 is approximately 21,500,000
dozen. At 35c per dozen this little
barnyard business amounts to more
than ~ million dollars per annum.
AT zoe it drops to S4,300,000, or more
than a three million dollar loss per
year. Can you afford that loss, you
farmers of the state? Can you afford
lot to organize to do the job neces-
,ary to save that amount annually?
To do the necessary job at the first
stage, organizing a local pickup and
association at the primary
collection center, is, it appears to us,
/ job made to order for the Farmers
Union locals already strategically sit
lated over the state.
How about it? Let's hear from you.
The job needs to be done, both for
ourselves and to meet the national
