Rumanians Reported
Pressed by Nazis
For More Troops
18 to Is Divisions Will

Observer Predicts
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANKARA, May 26.-.Germany
was reported today to be exert
ing the strongest possible pres
sure on Rumania to send another
large army to the Russian front
this year.
Information from usually reliable
sources in Rumania said the pres
sure was being applied by Baron
Manfred Won Killinger, German
minister, and one observer predicted
that by late fall between 18 and Is
Rumanian divisions would go into
the Soviet Union.
Rumanian forces suffered heavy
casualties in Russia last winter
particularly at Stalingrad, and at
one time Rumanian leaders were
reported firmly decided against
another expeditionary force to the
eastern front.
This decision was strengthened,
the Rumanian sources said, by Ger
man failure to carry out a promise
to provide armor for 20 Rumanian
divisions before the end of spring.
However. these reports asserted
German declarations that without
Rumanlan aid the Germans might
be forced to yield the entire Ukraine
to Russia and Nazi promise to re-
consider the status of Transylvania,
which Rumania ceded to Hungary
in 1910 under German pressure, had
gradually weakened Marshal Ion
Antonescu's determination to stay
out of Russia.

Morale Of Prisoners
Scars With Activity 10
Aid War, Lawes Says

War industries in the 1870 penal
institutions supervised by the prison
industries branch of the War Pro-
duction Board greatly have aided
the Nations wartime food program,
former Warden Lewis E. Lawes of
Sing Sing Prison said at a luncheon
yesterday at the WPB.
"At the same time" he said. "pris-
on morale has never been so high"
Use of leisure time for war work
opportunity tor prisoners to donate
blood for the Red Gross and to use
their money for War bonds and the
removal of virtually all disciplinary
measures in nearly every State penal
institution were factors listed by Mr..
Lawes as contributing to the high
morale
The luncheon, served by Mr.. and
Mrs. Maury Maverick, consisted of
prison food: Stew from a Philadel-
phla prison, bread from Lorton Re-
formatory, black beans from Texas
and dessert and salad prepared by
Mrs. Maverick. Mr. Maverick is
head Of the governmental division
Of WPB.
On display at the luncheon were
samples of prison work, including
blankets from wyoming institutions.
socks, suits and overalls, as well as
overcoats, all made in Michigan in
stitutions; duplicates of furniture
made for the Air Forces; spools of
binder twine, mattresses, soap, mops,
brushes, nine kinds of canned food
packaged in tin at the institutions
OF Indiana; bundles of fax, shoes,
gunstocks and towels from Ohio.
None Sold to Public.
None of these goods is sold to the
public, it was explained, but large
orders have been placed with the
WPB by the Coast Guard, the Army
and Navy and lease-lend.
The prison industries branch of
WPB had its start when several
prison officials from Michigan, In
diana and Iowa sought metal in
Washington to make license plates
for automobiles. The metal was re-
fused, and an agency was sought
which would make materials avail
able to penal institutions so that
they might further the war effort.
Mr.. Maverick explained that with
its record speaking for itself, the
prison branch may now seek the
best penal brains in the country to
serve the branch as consultants. AL
ready serving in this capacity is Mr.
Lawes and Mr.. Negley Teeters, pro-
lessor of criminology at Temple Uni
versity has been asked to serve, Mr.
Maverick said. Mr.. Teeters was pres
ent at the luncheon.
Contracts were not obtained for
the 100 prisons until about IA
months ago 1t was discovered then
that there were many prisons scat
tered throughout America whose
| inmates arose at $50 and went tc
bed again at 4:30 in the afternoon
without having worked during the
day. War contracts for prisons OF
this kind resulted in a complete

PERHAPS

Republican N ational Committee
Chairman Spangler leaves a good deal
to be desired in the field Of statesman
ship when he takes the President to
task for his fve-point program for de-
modified service men.
Chairman spangler cries aloud to
the effect that the President is playing
politics by laying down such a pro-
gram at such a time.
Couldn't it be that the President put
into his speech something more than a
partisan program? Couldn't it be
that he was stating in fairly concrete
terms the convictions of nation?
And could it be that Mr.. spangler
was peeved because Mr.. Roosevelt was
first to put the program into words
publicly?
The nation would feel better and
perhaps produce better if we had
fewer such outbursts as that from Mr..
Spangler, who may be very fine per-
son, but who shows more and more
tendency toward a form of myopia in
the field of politics.

IT'S WARING THIN, MAYBE

Mr.. Roane Waring, head of the
American Legion, which is fine body
of men, is doing the Mussolini act,
talking for the whole Legion as if he
WERE the Legion, which we don't be-
lieve.
Mr.. Waring says there must be no
world police force, almost before any
one has suggested any such thing.
Then Mr.. Waring quotes Vice-Presi-
dent Wallace as saying that social
revolution is on its way and the devil
and all his angels can't stop it." To
which Mr.. Waring makes this amaz-
ing retort.
''The devil and his angels may not
be able to stop the social revolution,
but the American Legion will"
Mr.. Waring has done a lot Of talk
ing since the king makers" selected
him to be National Commander But
his pontifical pronouncements are get
ting a bit thin-and foolish.
IF social revolution is on the way it
will be because of deep causes and not
even the American Legion can stop
it without getting at the causes.
But, aside from that, when Mr..
Waring talks about social revolution
he should define his terms. In the past
ten years we have had lot of social
revolution-rea genuine social revo-
luton. Not even the American Legion
stopped it and most Of its members
are lot better off because of it.

The board reviewed extensive evl-
dence testifying to the value as work
ers of women over 40 (including one
survey which states that employers
are finding that the older woman is
proving the most able and dependable
of employees on jobs formerly held by
men'), and the fact that IN many
areas mothers of young children are
being recruited for war industry
where the local supply of older women
has not been called upon.

prefers CIVILIAN clothing.
"More remarkable still is it that
members of the military caste, when
changing guard, no longer greet each
other with weird martial gestures and
shouts, but with the words, Never
again war;"
The Swedish paper Aftontigningen
says, in an article on conditions in
Denmark, that sabotage is effectively
carried out. The German authorities
insist that most of the sabotage is due
to Danish parachutists who are
dropped by British planes. They are
always certain to be received and pro-
tected by the Danish population.
Sab otage is primarily directed
against concerns working for the Ger
mans, only factories which employ
sabotage guards being attacked by
the saboteurs. In many factories the
workers have opposed the employment
of guards by threatening to strike.
(This leaves them freer to apply mon
key-wrenches in useful places them
selves.)
What seems to be new develop
ment is the so-called "Black Police" "
of 220 men, said to be directly under
the Gestapo. At least 200 of these are
German S. S. men. They wear Ger
man uniforms and display brutality
hitherto unknown in Denmark Dur
ing the summer some 20 people have
been killed or injured in clashes with
the S. S. men, Furthermore, the shy
and ignorant second-line troops which
formerly occupied Denmark have now
been replaced by much rougher ones.
Sicily, Orel, Tunisia, the defeat of
the submarine menace in the Atlantic
and our naval triumphs in the Pacific
are landmarks on our road to victory.
All of them are tied up with the
American miracle of production the
achievements of American labor in
turning out the tools of victory.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

TINE German occupation forces IN
L Holland are beginning to see the
handwriting on the wall and their
nerves are suffering.
The bulk of the news from the sub
iugated country points to growing
uneasiness and preoccupation on the
part of the German authorities-un-
easiness over the approaching Allied
invasion, preoccupation with individ-
ual self-protection.
Extending the anti-invasion defense
zone, the German Army Command
declared the Waalhaven district of
Rotterdam a restricted zone. Fishing,
bathing, and swimming in the area
are prohibited. A new disease, called
''bomb disease" is becoming increas-
ingly prevalent among both German
and Dutch Nazis. There seems to be
only one cure for it: a prolonged stay
in Swedish health resort, far re-
moved from the invasion zone. Fear
ing that the sulphur of the bombs
may ruin their jewels, they are taking
them with them, an underground
newspaper declared.
The Reich commissioner in Holland,
Seyys-I Inquart, too, has been affected
by the wave of uneasiness. He has
transformed his favorite country resi-
dence, the Clingendael estate, near
The Hague, into veritable fortress,
complete with moat and drawbridges,
and reminiscent of the medieval cas-
ties of the German robber barons. The
estate, which houses a variety of
buildings, has been proclaimed sepa-
rate municipality; it has its own
mayor, town hall, post Office, and even
small hospital.
Jittery German soldiers take to
wearing civilian clothing off duty and
to greeting each other with pacifst
slogans, it was reported by the same
underground newssheet. Nervousness
is beginning to replace -glorifca-
ton. The German soldier nowadays
