There is good deal Of criti-
cism Of the Owl, some justified
and some unjustifled. The head
OF the organization, which in
importance ranks second only to
the fighting services and is at
least at par with the production
management, unquestionably is
the best man President Roosevelt
could have found for the job.
Director Elmer Davis was one
Of the ablest newspapermen and
commentators in the country be-
fore he accepted the job which
yields relatively little income and
offers many headaches. He
could have given the country re-
markable service had he only
been given complete free hand
to deal with news in all its as
poets in his own way. He is
frequently blamed for situations
for which he personally is not
responsible. All the threads lead
ing from the sources of infor-
nation to the public are not in
his own hand.
The Owls budget amounts to
close to $50, 1000 900 and in many
quarters it is felt that the public
is not receiving its moneys
worth.
There Is much confusion in the
country about how we'll the war

wherefores Of the many restric-
tons imposed on the Nation,
and the reasons why. for in
stance, synthetic rubber pro-
duction Is in such a mess.
Overall Picture Wanted.
The public Is being fed with
releases from various depart
ments which are grinding their
own axes, but it seldom obtains
an overall picture giving the
whole story.
Everybody, from newspapermen
to the reading public, realizes
that any indiscretion in giving
out certain types of news might
be fatal to thousands of men.
But that does not apply to a
comprehensive survey Of the
actual situation. Every day we
are confronted with conflicting
estimates of both the local and
general situation.
Some quarters feel compelled
to tell the news-hungry public
that victory is just around the

NY. Union Official Found
Guilty Of Stealing Funds

By the Associated Press.
NEWBURGH, N. Y, Jan. g.
Labor Leader Samuel Nuzzo was
convicted last night on 80 of 80
counts charging Misrepresentation of
more than $4,000 in funds of his
union, whose members work on a
$500 100000 New York City water
project
A Supreme Court jury, which had
heard 81 days of testimony returned
the verdict after six hours delibera-
ton. Justice Riley H. Heath set
January Is for sentencing and re-
manded Nuzzo to Orange County
Jail after canceling his $500 bond.
The counts were contained in two
indictments charging grand larceny,
forgery and petit larceny while
Nuzzo was chief business agent of
Local II, international Hold Car
riers. Building and Common La
borers' Union (AFL). He was acquit-
ted on one count involving $115.60
for purchase of movie camera.
Defense Counsel Henry Hirsch-
berg deferred entering motions until
the day of sentencing The maxi
mum sentence that could be imposed
totals 1872 years plus $1,000 fine.

tense Transportation and in the
food administration.
All of which raises an issue: Are
we going to accept and support the
judgment of our military leaders on
military matters, or are we going to
permit modification of their plans
by the civilian heads of administra-
ton agencies whose wholehearted
cooperation is indispensable? There
seems but one possible answer to
that.
II the military leaders believe that
a 100000 army is essential to vic
tory, then national acceptance Of
their judgment is inevitable. That
is, it is inevitable unless we propose
to discard the present military lead
ers and install new ones.
Able Job by Army.
And that. even if it were possible,
would be a fine way to lose the war.
For the fact is that the Army in the
past year has done a really great
job.
Perhaps mistakes have been made,
but no big ones. On the contrary,
the Army has exhibited not only
imagination and foresight, but a
quality of practical, effective plan
ming, plus ability to put its plans in
operation. which justifies pride in its
record and a full degree of public
confidence.
Therefore, when the Army, with
presidential concurrence, asserts
that 100000 armed men are need
ed to crush Germany and Japan,
there is every reason for belief that
the Army knows what it is talking
about, none whatever for question
ing its judgment.
This is precisely what the Army
does believe. The Army further be-
lieves that it can supply the bulk
of these 100000 men abroad with
food, clothing, ammunition, planes,
guns and tanks. And the Navy has
said that it not only can transport
the troops but the supplies.
In brief the heads of our military
and naval establishments have not
only planned to expand the Army
far beyond its present figure but
are certain the expanded Army can
be maintained, supplied and trans
ported to the battle fronts across
the seas.
Complaint and Cause Apparent.
That, of course. cannot be done
except through the united and CO.
ordinated exertions of the war pro-
duction and regulating agencies.
And that is why the disposition of
some of these to pull back instead
of push forward on this 100000
Army proposition is not good.
The big reason SO many of these

The Great Game of Politics
Booking Of Army Expansion, With Attending Home
Front Hordships, Urged os Military Necessity

Governmental agencies find unpa-
latable the proposal to induct $780,
600 more men into the military serv-
ice this year is not hard to find.
Such an increase unavoidably will
add greatly to their own burdens,
make more difficult the jobs they
already, in some cases, find too diff
flcult.
From one quarter the complaint
is that such an expansion in the
overseas forces will render far more
acute the food shortages at home,
will require sitter rationing of the
civilian population, impose new
hardships on the people. From an
other, it is said that the addition
of 10000 more men will put an
almost unbearable strain on the al
ready badly strained railroads.
From another, it is argued that
the expansion will make it more
difficult for the farmer to find farm
hands and for the war industries to
find workmen, and that the whole
manpower situation will be made
worse. Let it be admitted at once
that these contentious are all sound.
But, what of it?
Beyond question, 5000 900 more
troops in the Army means a further
dislocation of civilian life and
greatly enhanced sacrifices on the
part of the stay-home population.
1t means, too. harder problems
and harder work for the agency
heads at Washington. 1t means
less food, less gasoline, less clothing
and more taxes-more sacrifices all
down the line
Should Find Ways.
Nevertheless, these additional mil
lions OF men are needed to win
the war. Instead of finding rea-
sons why the enlarged Army can
not be handled, it would be much
more to the purpose If the present
DIRECTORS would devote themselves
to finding ways by which it can be
handled
For example, there would seem
no longer even the flimsiest excuse
for our administration politicians
funking the extension Of the 40
hour week to 48 hours, which would
be equivalent to adding several mil
lion men as workers-or to avoid
any of the other logical steps for
increasing manpower, despite lobby
opposition.
In view Of this planned expansion
OF the Army, two things seem essen
tial-f1rst, that the people as a
whole accept the fact that this year
their individual and collective SC
rif1ces will be very much greater:
second, that the President bring
the military heads and the Civilian
agency heads together in some sort
OF war cabinet where daily contact
may be had and complete under
standing and cooperation assured.

ments about the assassin. He
was in the early twenties and
had an Italian mother.
If, however, the assassin came
from these circles one wonders
why the facts have been sup
pressed. The first questions, Of
course, are: Are our authorities
exercising the censorship? Or is
1t the French authorities? And
If so, who are the French au-
thorities?
Apparently the initiative in
the suppression came from
French authorities and our au-
thorities, by courtesy, collabo-
rated. The head of the civil
authority in North Africa is
Henri Giraud. But the general

he is not politically experienced
and he depends on the Resident
Gen. Auguste Nogues and Gen.
Yves Chatel, governor of the
colonies.
Now, If the assassin was a Fas-
cist sympathizer one can readily
see why Gen. Nogues and Gen.
Chatel would wish the fact sup
pressed. For they were also Vichy
men a short time ago, and their
administration is full of them.
Purge Early Last Year.
Early in 1912 Marshal Petain
undertook purge In North AZ
RIGA, ousting every known Re-
publican and pro-ally official. OF
course, some remained whose
sympathies were not so we'll
known; for instance, Gen. M. E.
Berthouard, who is now in Amer
lea as the leader of a military
mission to arrange for the trans

only by good luck that he is here,
for he joined the Allies the mo-
ment they set foot on French
soil, was arrested, court mar
tailed and sentenced to death by
Gen. Nogues, and escaped only
because the order to cease firing
was executed before he was.
If, however, the assassin was a
Vichy man. the natural conse-
quences of such a scandal would
be great shake-up in North
Africa, and the removal of Vichy
people from posts of authority.
The question is: Are not most of
the officers Vichy men? Unless
I am wrongly informed, the an
swer IS no. Not more than 10
per cent of them are. Nine -tenths
OF them would follow any good

FIJI Holds II for SELLING
Fake Service Ribbons

BY Iht ASSoclated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Sale of fake
decorations to service men resulted
yesterday in the arrest of IL retail
store operators in the vicinity Of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, P. E. Fox
worth, assistant FBI director, said.
They are charged with manufac-
turing, possessing and selling deco
rations supposedly issued by the

resented service in Iceland, in con-
voy, at Pearl Harbor and with the

corner while others feel that over
optimism can be more harmful
than pessimism. A perfect illus
tration was given recently when
statements from the source
Admiral William F. Halsey, jr.-
were in contradiction with what
Is believed in responsible WASH
ington quarters to be the real
truth. Should the declaration
given to the press by the hero
Of the South Pacific battles con-
tain too many sporadic ingredi-
ents the American public may be
in for an unpleasant awakening.
The readers of his statements
naturally are inclined to believe
what an admiral who is on the
spot and is doing the fighting
says since he must know the
situation out there better than
people in Washington.
The optimism of our fighting
admiral, however. is not Endorsed
fully here. No one doubts that
eventually we will bring the Japs
to their knees. but for the time
being it would be unwise to be-
neve that they are on the run.
The situation on the other
fighting fronts is equally obscure.
While there have been no definite
statements that we are close to
expelling the Nazis from Tunisia,
there has been information which
by implication, led us to believe
that they will be ousted soon.
North African Tangle.
The political situation in the
North African area has been
even more misunderstood. It is
fair to say that our propaganda
and new organizations, which are
both under the direct control of
Mr.. Davis. have not worked hand
in glove with the American mill
tary and diplomatic representa-
tives in that region.
While Gen. Dwight Eisenhower
and his civilian adviser on North
African affairs. Minister Robert
Murphy, have attempted to deal
with the complex situation to the
best Of their ability and taking
into consideration only the mill
tary needs, the Owl has Endorsed
the theological point of view.
The result was a bitter con-
troversy involving the late Ad-
miral Jean Darlan.
There is a crying need for
correlation of information in
such a manner that the public
gets the good and the bad news
together. This, however, is easier
said than done. The OWL is
working in close relationship with
the British Ministry of Informa-
ton.
There have been suggestions
that the Owl issue weekly re-
view Of the political and military
situation. This would have the
great advantage of enabling high
officials. who have at their dis
posal all the facts, to take the
public into their confidence. MANY
things, which would sound blunt
and unpleasant if released alone,
could be told in composite pic
ture to be given to the public
through the medium of the press
and radio.

bravery DESPITE the lack of mod

1t also seems that the explana-
ton Of why Admiral Darlan was
chosen in the first place as civil
administrator is not adequate.
We are told it was to save lives.
But the cease fire order was ap-
parently made two days before
We made the agreement.
So Admiral Darlan was in
stalled, as we believed that things
would 90 more smoothly with
him, and his sudden removal was
a great embarrassment. 1t was
a proof that Fascists are not won
over just by winning over one of
their leaders-if a Fascist COM
mitted the crime.
But If the assassin was an anti
Fascist it is proof that we can
not quench the hostility to Fas-
cism by enlisting Fascists in our
ranks. 1t is quite understand
able that Gen. Giraud could not
open all the concentration camps
as long as North Africa is in the
hands Of a Fascist or part Fas-
cist administration.
Apparently, Gen. Giraud has
no political base to stand on at
all except the one Of French
unity which does not exist. and
which, indeed, no steps have
been taken to create. Up to now,
he has refused to see Gen. De
Gaulle.
Mysterious IL Arrests.
This may explain the mys-
FERROUS II arrests, about which
we know no more than about the
assassin of Admiral Darlan. Some
OF the men arrested were clearly
anti-Fascist, because according
to Gen. Giraud, they helped our
troops to land, but others, he
said, were pro-German. So there
could not have been one plot
involving II men OF like mind, but
two plots or the suspicion of two.
And-it would seem-Gen. Gil
raud cannot make up his mind
on whom to rely. He is in a DO
litical vacuum - somebody or
something and sometimes oppo-
nents move into political vac
uums.
Obviously 1t cannot 60 on like
this. Militarily we are having a
rough time on the Tunisian front.
The Axis, according to reports,
is dropping agents by parachute
behind our lines, to stir up the
native population to revolt. The
Axis was active in North Africa
years before the war, even, TO-
menting nti-semitism amongst
the Arabs.
In such situation we have to
decide, either to take over the
government ourselves as an oc-
cupying force, or, to establish in
power Frenchmen who politically
belong with us and are unques-
tionably reliable. What we can
not tolerate, in the long run, is so
unclear a situation.
Finally, all sorts of rumors are
bound to breed in the vacuum
created by the outright censor
ship of obviously important po-
htical facts. There certainly
ought to be an Anglo American
agreement reached regarding po-
litical strategy in North Africa.
But apparently there as yet has
been no agreement even to come
to agreement. And Gen. De
Gaulle's visit to America has
again been postponed.
