JAP BRUTALITY MAKES
OUR EFFORTS pUNY

Anyone who can read 1t. Nicholas I.
Kliebert's story of the Jap bayonetting
of wounded American soldiers and not
feel great nausea and total inadequacy
with his small efforts on the home front
has no right to call himself an American.
Time and time again we have told of
the barbarism of the japanese in their
fighting We have heard stories of para
chuting Allied airmen being shot while
they floated helplessly to earth. Another
particularly loathsome act of savagery
was the act of Japanese airman in
cutting off the leg of one of our fliers
with the propeller of a plane. But the
latest report of the Japs' complete disre-
gard for any semblance of humaneness
in their warfare makes all the other
stories seem parlor tales.
1t. Nicholas Kliebert was in charge of
25 men near Munda detailed to guard
group of American litter cases being
transported to the dressing station.
A group of 800 Japs broke through our
lines and attacked the group of 81, in
Guiding medical attendants who were un-
armed.
For seven hours the little band of
Yanks tried to keep off the overwhelm-
ing number of the foe. The Japs were
armed with machine guns. The Amerl-
cans had only rifles, pistols and grenades.
For the attack the Japs paid with l75 OF
their own number but they did succeed
in piercing the thin defense line the lieu
tenant was able to throw b out h
wounded.
American boys were propped up again.
st trees and the Japs took turns bayon-
citing them. The devils tossed grenades
into foxholes where the men on litters,
too weak to even turn back blanket,
had been placed.
A wounded American was forced at
the point of bayonet to drill for the Japs
and finally when they tired of their am
usement they dragged him into the bushes
and finished him.
Before Kliebert's men were able to re-
load and push the enemy back once again
there were many of our boys dead.
This is the enemy which our soldiers
are battling to keep out of our land.

of CCC would be considered sub
sides. But subsidy" is a nasty
word around these parts, stranger,
and don't let anyone catch you say
ing that CCC has subsidized any
thing or anyone The polite way to
put it issto say that the Commodity
Credit Corporation has contributed
greatly toward stabilizing agricul-
ture.
CCC LOANS
In 1888 and for five years there
after, there were big surpluSeS of
cotton and corn, and CCC was set
up then to make loans against those
surpluses so as to stabilize prices.
Then in 1898 when CCC was trans
ferred to the Department of Agri-
culture, it got all tied in with the
ever-normal granary program and
was integrated all over the place
with triple-A, crop insurance and
such. On the six basic crops-cot-
ton, rice, corn, wheat, tobacco and
peanuts-CCC makes loans to tide
the farmers over until such time as
they can or want to sell, advancing
IS per cent of parity on cotton and
wheat, 80 per cent on the others
On non-b basic crops, meaning all
others, CCC makes loans on price
support programs for the farmer,
usually at 30 per cent Of parity.
All these loans are on what's
called recourse" basis,
meaning that the borrower can
refuse to pay off his loan at any
time and turn over his security,
meaning the crop, to the govern
ment. This is one of the most
perfect devices thought up yet for
sticking the government and SUBJ
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES agri-
culture. 1t accounts for the fact
that your government now owns
millions Of bushels and bales and
! tons of almost any farm product
you can name. CCC charges 3
| per cent interest on its loans, but
it will pay farmers to store their
own security.
CCC has tremendous role in the
war effort, but that's a story in
itself and will have to be saved
for the next issue.

HITLER KICKED OUT?

1t is no longer "Hitler's Europe if
reports emanating from Spain are true.
Spanish correspondents have it that
Adolf Hitler has been replaced as the
head Of the German military government
and that triumvirate consisting of
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, Field Mar
shall Wilhelm Keitel and Reichsmarshal
Herman Goering has been appointed to
conduct the war.
Hitler, it was said, will retain civil
authority but his famous "intuitions" no
longer will be responsible for the move
ments Of NaZi armed forces.
If this is true it might easily spell
longer fight for the Allies.
The three men are military men. Hit
Ter is not.
After the last war Goering, then a dash
ing young officer of the German air force,
was one of the few men who did not ad
nit defeat and refused to turn over his
planes to the Allies until long after the
others had. He may again show that at
titude and refuse to give up until he him
self has been killed.
But no matter what the change in Ger

is on the way has not changed. 1t may
be tomorrow or it may be six months
from now. But it is coming.

East's Popular Row House
MAY Feature Future Buildin,

The possibility that an important part
of the estimated 100000 to 100000
new dwelling units, for which it is
predicted there will be a market after
the war, may be of a type of con-
.struction which until now has found
favor only in a limited number of
eastern cities. It is the ROW" house
which has long been popular in some
older eastern cities. Until nov rela-
lively few have been constructed else
where.
Row houses r merely a group of
homes built in a connecting series so
that single inner walls are utilized.
The older row houses are not likely
to be used as models for future row
houses except in their basic construc-
ton plan since this type of building
has been greatly improved in archi-
tectural design, probably as much as
any other residential unit in recent
years.
The row house may be one of the
first new developments in the postwar
housing field, because thousands of
families now renting will want to buy
their own homes right after the war
and the row house may seem to them
a good compromise between apartment
life and life in a single-family dwell
ing.
Advantages claimed for row houses
are that they can be built on smaller
sites, a fact which possibly may prove
more important than we expect if the
nation undertakes vast urban rehabil-
~itation projects in close = in districts
near central business areas. Operating
expenses are somewhat lower than for
individual homes and this seems to be
particularly true as to heating costs.
Taxes are some lower, available ex-
p%erience indicates.
