the letdown against Camp Lee

FOOD FOLLIEs

1t seems incredible that Washington
should appear so unconcerned about the
serious breakdown in the food marketing
system The disinterest of officialdom in
this malad djustment would of itself be
enough, if there were no other evidence,
to prove that while the Army and Navy
are doing fine jobs at fighting, the equal
ly vital home front is deteriorating with
geometrical progression.
Meat, poultry and dairy products, of
course, are the worst examples And
the evidence Of mismanagement-or is
it absence of any management?-in con-
nection with them is clearest cut.
We are carping people. We love to
find fault. But we are not soft people,
as Mussolini has discovered and Hitler
and TOTO are learning. If there is gen.
uine shortage of anything, including
meat, we can take it.
However, there is no excuse for our
having to go without beef or patronize
the black market, knowingly or ignorant
ly, when the backlog of available cattle
is of record proportions and still grow
ing. There is no need of our having
trouble getting poultry when, as is the
case in metropolitan New York at least,
poultry is spelling because there is no
room for it in the refrigerators.
The only persons who can be sure of
a good steak are the few able and willing
to pay So and up at a cafe, because public
eating places are permitted to pay more
than housewives, and so get most of the
choicer cuts.
The Army is taking most western
eggs, so poultrymen in many instances
sell to the black market and the house
wife is out of luck
Every housekeeper, and the folks who
eat at her table, know what the Situa-
tion is in the stores. Newspapers are
filled with detailed data about its back
ground. The broad facts are not subject
to legitimate dispute.
Washington does nothing that can be
observed. Not yet. But we predict that
some day soon Washington will break
into rash of hectic experimentation in
connection with food distribution. That
day will come when somebody interested
in the practical politics of the situation
wakes up to the fact that this home front
breakdown cannot be camouflaged. as
many others have been, by casuistic de-
mails.

Guards Ordered TO
Shoot MussoIini
BY UNITED PRESS

Benito MuSSolini'S Italian guard
had orders to kill II Duce rather
than let him reach German hands
but was surprised by parachutists
before the orders could be carried
out, Berlin radio said Tuesday.
A dispatch from Allied head
quarters in North Africa said that,
Judging from Axis and neutral
radio reports of the incident, Mus
solini was found by the Germans
in a secret fortress in the Abruzzi
mountains in central Italy.
Berlin did not identify the loca-
ton of the rescue" In a long re-
port boasting about the exploit but
said that the men who carried it
out were awarded high decora-
tions" by Adolf Hitler.
According to the German version,
the orders to shoot Mussolini came
from Premier Marshal Pietro Bado-
Clio, who moved the fallen Duce
from place to place for days and
used large military units" to guard
him trying to hide his place of de-
tention from the Germans.

Situation Probed

WASHINGTON. Sept. IA CUP)-
The continued internment or indi-
vidGal releases from internment
camps of Italians seized in this
country since Pearl Harbor was
being studied today by the Justice
department.
A study of the case of each indi-
vidual by the Alien enemy control
unit of the justice department was
ordered last night by acting attor-
ney general Charles Hahy. This
would affect 1852 italian nationals,
including 178 civilians and 984 sea-
men removed from italian vessels
since the outbreak of war.
Rahy said the military armistice
concluded with the Badoglio govern
ment did not in itself have any di-
rect effect on the status of those
interned here as dangerous enemy
aliens.

SIGN OF THE TIMES

For those who have little faith in the
ability of common people to govern them
selves. there is a lesson in news from
New York that the Garment Workers
Union has purchased Tammany Hall.
For generations the name Tammany
stood for scandalous misgovernment,
though actually the Society of Tammany
was a social organization in whose hall
the New York County Democratic or
ganzation met to organize raids on the
public treasury and against the taxpay-
ers' welfare.
Now the onus of the name has become
too great. The county organization is
divorcing itself from the stigma. And
the social organization, unable to stand
alone, has moved out of its million-dollar
clubhouse.

A BITTER MEMORY

(San Bernardino Sum
Twenty years ago the great cities of
Japan were wrecked by earthquake. A
quarter of a million japanese were killed,
hundreds of thousands were injured.
Japan appealed for the help Of the world.
And the people of the United States an
swered tnat cry of anguish. Never in
history had there been such an outpour
ing of sympathy. We sent ships, food,
medicine, doctors, millions.
Japan professed gratitude. The Jap
anese ambassador declared:
"Of course, Japan will be grateful.
Never-for we have long memories in
our cduntry-never shall we forget your
sympathy in this hour of our national
distress"
Japan's most Influential newspaper
declared:
God forbid that there should be an
other war; but if it comes and America
is attacked, Japan shall array her might
against that criminal. He who attacks
America shall die
The world now knows that the earth
quake merely delayed Japan's earlier de-
termination to attack the United States.
And the American people know that for
once a Jap told the truth: "He who at
tacks America shall die"

It's
Costly


WASHINGTON, Sept. IA.
(UP)-Secretary of the Ma
Wy Frank Knox agreed to-
day that the latest American
air raid on Paramushiru,
Japanese naval base in the Kurile
islands. was a comparatively costly
one in U. S. aircraft lost but added
that "nobody's invented safe
war"
He told his news conference that
onlr four of 10 planes missing may
have been lost by enemy action.
What happened to the other six
we don't know" he said. There
may be a chance for some of their
crews, but it's pretty bad news for
them Up in those waters
The Kurile raid, fourth in that
area, gave point to Undersecretary
of War Robert P. Patterson'S ap-
peal for greater airplane production.
Returning from tour of Pacific
war theaters, Patterson said:
Its an air war out there. The
llCOd III biiSoS tAiSoeCA %
is for more planes"
The navy confirmed last night
that American heavy and medium
bombers had struck again at Para
mushiru and reported hits on five
enemy ships, destruction of at
least 10 challenging enemy fighter
planes, and the apparent loss of
10 American bombers. The Japa-
nese said l8 American bombers
participated If SO, the rate of loss
was extremely high.
The attack occurred on Monday
(ParamuShiru time) and, the COM
munique said, lin spite of spirited
enemy opposition in the form of
heavy anti-aircraft fire and fighter
interception," the American bomb
ers:
l-Scored numerous hits on ground
installations.
2-Set on fire a transport which
was left in sinking condition.
3-Damaged another transport.
4-Scored hits on three small
cargo vessels, one of which explod-
ed.
5-Strafed numerous small craft,
setting many on fire.
NOT SMOOTH SAILING
But all was not smooth sailing
for the Americans. Upward of 25
enemy fighters attacked the raiders
in a running engagement which
lasted for so minutes. The Ameri-
can bombers shot down 10 enemy
fighters and probably three more,
but four American bombers were
known to have been shot down
and six others failed to return.
GA Japanese communique said
earlier yesterday that 18 bombers
comprised the American formation
and that eight and probably nine
were shot down.
American losses were the heav-
lest ever suffered on a raid on
ParamuShiru. No losses were men,
toned in the first raid on July l9
and only two planes were reported
lost on the second raid on August

Hollywood Killing
Proves Puzzle 10
Ordinary Police

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. ID (UP)-
The masked marvel murder mys-
terry, involving the weird death of
David G. G.. Bacon, Jr., movie
actor, Boston socialite and school,
mate of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr.,
is case for Ellery Queen, police
admitted today.
The workaday cops were baffled.
Wryly they said only Inspector
Queen and his son, Ellery, heroes
OF the mystery story fans, could
solve satisfactorily the handsome
actors murder. Bacon staggered
out of his undersized automobile
into a cabbage patch, half clad, to
bleed to death from a stiletto
wound in his back
NO ANSWERS
A medical examination, intensive
work with finger print powder and
questioning of Bacon's widow, the
former Gretta Keller of light opera
fame, provided none of the answers
to the classic questions of detec-
tive novels Who? Where? When?
Why?
Only SurmiSe of the police was
that Bacon may have picked up a
hitchhiker, who stabbed him when
he leaned forward, possibly to re-
lease the parking brake. This
theory sounded phoney, even to
the officers who propounded it, and
they urged reporters to think up a
better one - or page Inspector
Queen.
Two weeks ago Bacon finished
his role as the masked marvel in a
15-chapter movie serial at Republic
studios. Sunday he got into his
midget automobile, presumably to
drive to the beach front home OF
the sugar heiress, Geraldine Spreck-
les, for swim. He never got there
