larly while the enemy still has

Ground Forces Will Get Task.
The major task OF ending the
Nazi resistance will have to be
intrusted to the ground forces.
And it is expected that the price
paid will be much higher than in
the preliminary operations which
have carried the Allied forces to
the actual Tunisian fortress.
Because of the need for speed,
1t is considered unlikely that Gen.
Eisenhower will consider a mere
siege of the northeastern portion
of Tunisia, as was the case at
Stalingrad and Sevastopol.
1t appears that the strategy
decided on is to push the enemy
in order to get on with the war
in the Mediterranean as quickly
as possible. Such rush tactics
are successful when the attacking
forces are large and have as COM
plete an air superiority as our
forces. But they are necessary
expensive in human material.
The Allied high command fully
expects that the bulk of the Axis
army will be destroyed. The
chances are that Rommel will
pull out of Tunisia only his most
useful, high-ranking officers and
possibly handful of elite troops.
The area around Bizerte and
Tunis is heavily patrolled by the
Allied air and naval forces, and
while it is possible that some
transports might get away in
heavy. fog, the number of men
who thus might escape is limited.
May Assault Sicily, Sardinia.
Military men in Washington
and London realize that while the
victory of the Allies will be most
spectacular, from the strictly
strategic point of view Of the in
vasion of Europe, it really means
reducing an important advanced
post and nothing more.
The liberation of Tunisia prob
ably will be followed by an as
sault on Sicily and Sardinia, and
the eventual conquest of these
islands will mean a complete con-
troll of the Mediterranean by the
Allies.
Nevertheless, it is pointed out
that it would be unwise to look
on the Tunisian victory as any
thing more than the conquest of
one of the outlying outposts OF
the European fortress.

that term adopted by the COM
mittee. These two officials are
DR.. Goodwin B. Watson, chief
analyst of the Foreign Broad
cast Intelligence Service, at a
salary of $500, and DR.. William
E. Dodd, jr., assistant news edi-
tor of the same service, at a SAL
ary Of $4,000.
Their names, along with IS
others in Government service,
were certified to the House last
winter by the Dies Committee on
- Un-American Activities as having
been connected with subversive
organizations, or engaged in sub
versive activities.
The charge has been made by
the Dies Committee, and by
others, that Reds" antagonistic
to the present form of Govern
ment of the United States, oc-
cupy many positions on Uncle
Sans payroll-all of them afili-
ated with the New Deal. Little
has been done about it in the
past by the executive branch of
the Government. On the con-
trary, administration officials
have denounced Representative
Dies, Democrat, of Texas, anti
New Dealer, and all his works.
House Upholds Dies.
The House has different ideas.
Not only did it continue the life
of the Dies Committee by an
overwhelming vote, but it ordered
subcommittee of the House Ap-
preparations Committee to exam
Inc into the charges made by the
Dies Committee against these
Government officials. The sub
committee, headed by Represent
ative Kerr, Democrat, of North
Carolina went into the charges
fully, heard the testimony OF the
officials themselves and rendered
the verdict. The full committee,
by a vote of 20 to /, supported
the subcommittee.
The House now proposes, by
congressional control of the
pursestrings, to cut these officials
from the Government payroll, if
they do not resign or are not
ousted by the FEC. It will pass
a bill saying these men shall re-
ceive no pay from any appropria-
tions made by Congress.
The subcommittee so far has
heard and voted on only the
cases of Dr. Watson, DR.. Dodd
and DR.. Frederick L. Schuman,
principal analyst in the German
section of the Analysis Division
OF the Foreign Broadcasting In
telligence Service, FEC. 1t did
not find the evidence sufficient to
support a recommendation of
unfitness against DR.. Schuman.
If the percentage of unfit"
because of subversive activities
or connections, keeps up in the
findings OF the committee, there
is going to be a lot of officials
going out of the Government
service. The Dies Committee is
said to have many other names
to submit to the House.

There are persistent reports that
SPANS treatment of refugees is
surprisingly good. More merit?
When we were weak, these countries
did not care much for refugees. Now
we are stronger and they are kinder.
IT all this be true, then Allied
pressure does make difference
inside Europe. If that be true, then
the American-English refugee con-
ference at Bermuda, which started
out by abdicating, by announcing
that only victory can save the refu-
gees, ought to be disbanded, and it's
members put to more useful work,
like folding tin cans. If some pres
sure has done some good, more pres
sure can do more good.
Wagner Shelved.
Europe is not so intensive. The
Nazis, for example, have given up
Wagner for the current celebration
of Hitler's birthday, and have turned
to what Arthur Schnabel would call
a civilian composer, Beethoven.
They even had the bloody gall to
play the chorale movement of the
Ninth Symphony" whose refrain,
OF course, is: "All men are brothers"
So the Germans, inside their
fence, are taking the brother line,
are they? Hitler seems to feel the
need for brothers; the ersatz Wotan
with the small mustache is tired of
sitting alone on his mountain peak.
He wants to come down and huddle.
A little more pressure and we might
convince these specimens that
brotherhood is here to stay.

TWO GROUPS SERVE OUR SOLDIERS

In Glasgow, as in most places where service men are STA
toned, the community has been quick to make them welcome
and provide facilities for their recreation and enjoyment. Other
nearby towns have been just as anxious to do their part.
Organization has just been completed here of two commit
tees. each having as its aim, in its own field, the furtherance
of such programs. To clear up any confusion that may exist
among local people, we are outlining the functions OF each group
so that the many who wish to help will know how these efforts
are being directed.
The two committees represent the American Red Cross and
the United Service Organizations. BY national policy agreed
upon between the two, the Red Cross is the service agency on
the base or post while the U. s. o. provides for recreation out
side the military reservation, in this case downtown Glasgow.
The Red Cross camp and hospital service committee is the
agency between the field and the community. 1t operates this
wav: Assume that a radio is required for the airbase recrea-
ton hall. The Red Cross field man or special service officer at
the base informs the committee of the need. The committee
then turns to organizations in the community to fill the need.
This is recognized as a systematic way to convert our COM
munity patriotism into service.
The newly formed U. S. o. organization is about to prepare
a budget and make plans for a recreation program in Glasgow
for service men when they are off duty. Details of this probably
will be announced soon. Again, while a certain portion of the
funds required will be aIocated to the Glasgow committee by
cradle voluntary help will be required of us here in Glasgow
to make certain that men of the air forces stationed here will
find ample relaxation, and the right kind, when they are our
guests.
All of these needs, in the past, have been well taken care OF
and, we know, have been appreciated by the men ION the hill.
The organization of the two committees merely means a con-
tnuance of past activities along the lines of policy laid down
by the Red Cross and the U. S. o.

"FTFTY-TwO YEARS ON FRONT STREET

Fifty-two years is a very long time in northeastern Montana,
for ours is a comparatively young country. 1t takes us from the
days of the last bison, the hitching post and the open range,
from the time when Glasgow was a little village huddled around
a railroad siding to this day of highways and farms and gigantic
planes.
This week two men who have experienced and participated
in this great change retire from business, John M. Lewis and
Robert M. Lewis of the First National bank.
To them and to the other old-timers, many of whom have
passed on, this generation owes a greater debt than it realizes
1t should be, first of all, grateful to them for the faith they
showed in the potentialities of a youthful and raw country, a
country that has not yet reached the apex of its development,
When the Lewis brothers opened their little bank, whose prin-
cipal equipment was a small safe behind the flour barrels III
the Lewis store, even they probably had no conception of what
that business would become. But, besides their faith, they had
those other attributes that we find in the men who lasted from
that time, a capacity for hard work and an individualism to
cope with conditions far different from those of today.
Not so widely publcized are the interest in and the active
support given by the Lewis brothers in many worthy projects
and causes here.
Now, after So years on Front street, the ownership and con-
rol of their banking institution passes to another group of
Valley county men, who will carry on.
Glasgow is most fortunate in the strength and management
If its two powerful banks. That they will continue to be a
major factor in this territorys development is a certainty.

WHEN TWO FRIENDS MEET

The other day, Hitler and Mussolini held another conference
It didn't rate much publicity. The announcement from German!
ended with the usual statement that they were in complete
accord"
Complete accord, indeed! Complete accord in their hate OF the
United Nations, perhaps of each other. Complete accord IN their
fear of what bombings are doing alike to communications ana
factories in Italy and Germany. Complete accord in their I'M
Outstanding that the axis soon will have lost control OF much
Of the Mediterranean. Complete accord in their knowledge that
they and their misguided people must defend the bastlonS OF
Europe from a mighty Allied force.
What a change that meeting marks. Only a year or two ago.
these meetings were a prize weapon in the AXIS propaganda
attack. They filled the world with forebodings. They usually
meant that soon after another attack was launched or
another friendly country stabbed in the back. Those meetings
of Hitler and Mussolni brought death, misery and starvation to
millions of the little people of Europe.
Now, according to the best diplomatic conjecture, those con-
ferences mean but one thing - a survey OF detenses. That those
defenses are strong we know. But now we can at least see the
beginning of the beginning of the end. The totaltarlan military
machine is still a mighty one, but the myth of its invincibilhy
has been smashed. Der Fuehrer and II Duce may have many
more meetings but from now on they will not have many happy
moments.

of greeting or news about them or their buddies which is always
very gratifying. To be frank about it, we get a considerable
kick out of them and they always give us a feeling of pride.
Hardly a week goes by, too, that we do not receive news of the

to have those letters and the folks at home like to have news

what we can say. Someone in the army jokingly remarked that
the men ought to write home more often to keep up civilian
morale. Perhaps there's something in that. Anyway, we're glad
