Top Turnout of 259
At Kenwood;; Hairs S 81
Best Round of Year
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

ny WAL i En- N1CSALLONu
Golf has taken another bump on
the chin, but the links sport hasn't
curled up and quit. Golf, of course,
has been one Of the sports hardest
hit by gasoline rationing, since coun-
try clubs usually are located a long
way from urban areas and some
times cannot be reached by public
transportation. Yet in the face of
the newest and most drastic gasoline
edict golfers refuse to quit playing
the game-on week ends at least.
Hundreds of them turned out yes
terday at the country clubs around
Washington, reaching the clubs by
bus and streetcar. At some clubs
OPA inspectors appeared, presuma
bly, taking the license numbers of
the few cars which were out. At
others no inspectors made them
selves known.

BY actual count. 259 golfers played
at Kenwood, while Indian Spring
with less than 300 members. had
228 golfers using the course. Other
clubs had big crowds. which proves
one thing-you can take gas away
from the linksman but he'll get to
the club some way, even if he has

and some of his friends to Manor

Lack Of Milk in Camps
A Subject of Discussion.

To the Editor OF The Star:
We hear glowing reports Of the Won
derful food served the armed forces.
Printed material urging enlistment spe-
cially mentions the food served to the
men.
When the Government nutrition pro-
gram stresses so strongly the importance
of milk in the diet, how does it happen
that in at least some camps no milk is
served?
One man of my acquaintance who was
sent to a camp in Wisconsin reported
that coffee was the only beverage, not
even water being available. At five of
eight meals at a Virginia camp, during
this recent record heat spell, coffee was
the only beverage, but you could ask for
cup for hot water! Lukewarm iced"
tea was served at two of the remaining
three meals and nonthirst- t-quenching
chocolate milk at the third.
Why, if coffee must be rationed to ci-
villains, must it be forced upon service
men who may not like it. who get better
nutrition by drinking milk at home?
Such conditions don't help the morale
of those at camps or of their familes!1

Chronology

The invasion of Sicily was not
undertaken adventurously. Plans for
1t were made as early as the summer
of 1912. The first step in the dlrec-
ton of the continent OF Europe was
taken on November 7 OF that year,
when American and British forces
landed in French North Africa. Vichy
resistance was crushed and American
troops were in control OF Morocco and
Algeria by November II. Meanwhile,
the British Eighth Army prepared to
reoccupy Tobruk on November l3 and
BengaSi on November ~.
Negotiations between the Allies and
representatives OF the French COM
munity led to an agreement with
Admiral Jean Darlan for collabora-
ton, and Dakar was received into the
United Nations zone" November %.
Following Darlan's assassination,
General Henri Giraud became COM
mander of French units cooperating
against the Axis, December "a. The
next development was that Of the

SideIine

Along about now the Victory gar
den is In its prime. The first few
tentative tomatoes no longer need
to be picked green, If at all, and
fried-they can be garnered red and
ripe. Carrots have passed the tooth
pick stage and beets are closer in
size to baseballs than to marbles.
Watermelons, it is true, are not yet
ripe enough to steal, but they have
been marked by juvenile gangsters
for future operations.
Mr.. Brucato's garden near San
Francisco is no exception, though
there are unusual features. He
started, even as you and I, to grow
staple crops, but has gradually wan
dered off the track. He now grows
vast quantities of Helicidae, and
picks whole baskets of Pulmonata.
Ltmax maximus is another special
ty and that, with Lirnax campestris,
completes the crop, which is bundled
off to New York hotel, where it
brings staggering checks. These the
owner cashes and uses a small por-
ton of the money for buying vege-
tables at the nearest grocery. His
own, as it happens, are not available
for his kitchen. They must stay in
the garden to support Helicidae, Pull
monata and Limax, both maximus
and campestris. After all, snails,
even the fancy edible variety that
delights the souls of still fancier
chefs, must have some nourishment.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TrdceDell.

Such things afford an inexhaustible
source of interest, instruction and in
spiration.
They belong to the great sum Of
things which do not change.
How humanity longs for the change
less, which is Just another way Of say
ing the eternal.
In world of constant change, the
human heart nevertheless longs for the
changeless, so that one may know where
he stands.
The birds and the animals belong to
the great changeless chains that stretch
around all the world.
A few have become extinct, but with
their exception, the lists OF animals,
fishes and birds are today just about
what they were when Noah marshaled
the creatures aboard the Ark.
If Noah could come back for q brief
look-surely one look would be long
mountaineering would be familiar TO
him except the birds, the fishes and the
animals.
y
When we are interested In these
things, we are watching and thinking
about some of the verities.
Almost every one who notices a spar
row in the gutter has some sense OF
this. We Americans are not given to
moralizing, perhaps, but in every heart
and mind there is a realization, although
maybe not at the very time Of taking part
In good things, when watching an un-
usually beautiful sunset, or seeing rain
bow or being astonished at a scarlet
tanager in tree.
Sometimes, like poignant perfume,
memory stabs one suddenly back to
aforementioned aftermath to late
afternoon thundershower.
Just why this scene returns, all at
once, like the flash Of movie screen, we
do not know, but here it is, the long
city block glistening with water, the
great trees dripping, all green, the water
still running in the concrete cutters,
gurgling loudly down the sewers splash
ing beneath the happy bare feet Of
children.
There is fragrant beauty in the very
air, washed and cleaned by wind and
water and ozone. There Is marvellous
rainbow becoming brighter every mo-
ment over the hills to the west
This is never to be forgotten, we real
ize at the moment-and, sure enough,
here 1t is, coming back again, to sum-
mon up the simple wonder OF tnau
moment, composed Of nothing much,
actually, but putting one in touch with
great things.
These are the things, the great things
Of life, for which we are fighting.
Mr.. Willkie makes one tired at times,
wnen ne says we must make up our
minds, and we are now late, about what
we are fighting for.
Shucks, Mr.. Willkie, we know what we
are fighting for, even If you don't.

for the past seven years, since we moved
to Chevy Chase, of your column This and
That. We have son in the Army who
has, with his family, visited us from time

bird life of this vicinity, and wherever
he Is stationed. I quote from letter
from him received yesterday from a large
island In the South Pacific, down un-

liest to start off-just at the first crack
of dawn. He is not a thrush, as mother
suggests, but may be wren of some
sort. They are quite small-nuffy and
rotund, with long straight bill, gray
shading to almost black on their head.
They have peculiar white mark effect
--streaks of white running above and
below their eyes. Also white line
around their throats and a few white
feathers across the middle of their wings.
"'They are very shy. I've never seen
one actually singing, but think they're
responsible. Their song, as I've said, is
like a Mozart theme, not repetitiye, but
a long complicated flutelike melody, very
clear, but not loud like canary.
"'Also, of course, the mynah birds are
q source Of amusement. I have a pair
of them in tree nearby. which quarrel
and scuffle around at great rate. They
are very bold and enjoy human company.

Congress Is Accused
OF Favoring Business.

OF Favoring Business"
To the Editor Of The Star:
I am beginning to wonder whether
our Congress really represents the peo-
pie, or does it represent business even
when business interests are opposed to
the public welfare or the national in
terests.
Congress, by rider to the war agen-
cies bill, has insisted that only men with
business connections shall hold certain
key jobs with OPA. Does this mean
that OPA is supposed to favor business
rather than the consumer?
Congress appears to be against grade
labelling of merchandise, so that the
consumer may be protected against busi-
ness interests inclined to chisel.
Congress has been sabotaging the
rolling back of prices. In their public
appearances Congressman have much to
say about maintaining free enterprise"
but not a word about protecting the
great body of consumers.
Does Congress take seriously the slo-
gan: Whats good for business is good
for YOU? At every opportunity Con-
gress has been favoring business at the
expense Of the great majority of the
people How long do they think they
can get away with that without injuring
business? HENRY JAMES.

and Prime Minister Churchill at
Casablanca, January IA, 1943. No
transcript OF the conference ever has
been printed, but it is known that a
comprehensive program for the lib
Grafton of "the soft side" OF Hitler's
fortress" was devised.
The British reached Tripoli on jan
uary %, cut through the Mareth Line
on March % and joined American
detachments near FL Guetar in Tu-
nisia on April 13. Lieutenant Gen.
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower, appointed
commander in chief OF all Allied
forces in the North African theater,
was in charge OF procedure from
FEBRUARY + onward. The Germans
and Italians continued to retreat.
Enfidaville fell on April 13, Mateur on
May 8, Bizerte and Tunis on May 7.
Axis capitulation on Cap Bon, May
IL, was the inevitable result OF un-
relenting Allied pressure. Approx
mately one hundred and fifty thou
sand prisoners and large stocks OF
materiel were taken. Mr.. Churchill
received the news in Washington.
He had arrived at the White House
for another conference with MIR.
Roosevelt the previous DAY.
Once again the two heads OF states
and their military and naval ADVISERS
discussed the best, quickest and most
economical ways and means Tor
achieving decisive victory over Hitler
and his partner. The systematic
reduction OF the enemy's Mediter-
ranean outposts was included in the
plan. Pantelleria was captured June
II, Lampedusa June II, Linosa June
13. Four weeks OF scientific bombing
OF Italian ports, airt1elds and other
objectives served as the preface to
the story OF the movement of July 10
against the southeast coast of Sicily.
Roughly, thirty-four weeks were re-
quired for the successful performance
OF the task of freeing Africa and
carrying the war to the main bulWark
of the foe. The whole enterprise
might be discussed In terms OF simple
mathematics. Something was added
to the United Nations effort some
thing was suptracted from that OF
the Axis. The remainder OF the
conflict will illustrate the same
principle at work.

From the Manchester Guardian.
We should dismiss any idea that Ger
many will not support Italy to the ut
most Whatever arguments led them
to lose great army in Africa are even
more valid for the defense of Italy,
because Italy is nearer to the German
core. There are signs that italian troops
will be withdrawn from the Balkans ex-
cept perhaps for some on the eastern
side of the Adriatic-the Italians are
much worried about the Adriatic-in
order to defend their own country; that
Bulgarians will be freely used to take
the place of Italians, and that Germany
will concentrate great reserve forces at
inland points from which she can most
efficiently direct them to areas threat
ened by us.
