factual report on the Comman-

best-seller ranking. He was invit-
ed here to tell Hollywood what
he thought about its war films,
and he didn't pull his punches.
One of his criticisms had to do
with the detail in war films. He
cited one in which a bombed pi-
lot, after being shot down, got
back to England and, with no
more hesitation than if he were
driving a familiar car, took UP
a fighter plane and performed
doughty deeds of courage.
The picture overlooked the
fact that bomber pilot would
need a heap of training to oper-
,ete fighter plane.

SOME ANTIDOTES - 2 col h,
by JACK STINNETT


WASHINGTON, June 12-The
Shadow of Things to Come:
Mr. and Mrs. America on the
home front are headed for trouble
that will make their present diff
ficu1ties seem like kindergarten
stuff. The trouble is partially of
their own making, but we won't
go into that
Some of the troubles, not nee
essarily in the order of their inn
portance, are:
% Food. If you think this is a
problem now, wait until this
years crops are in. Bad weather
including late spring freezes,
floods land maybe droughts to
come)-have done much to wreck
the increased production program.
Military and lend-lease demands
nave been greater than anticipat-
ed. Prospects for corn crop don't
look good and that will affect
pork, poultry, and dairy products.
Conscientious grocers, who re-
fuse to deal with food hootleggers,
are going to have less and less TO
sell. Dishonest grocers. who deal
with the black marts, are going to
have some things but their prices
will be soshigh that they viii be
tarred with their own brushes be-
fore they garner much profit.
(2l. The gasoline shortage in the
east land perhaps in the middle
vest is growing by such leaps
and bounds that there is only the
slightest possibility that it won't
disrupt the whole transportation
system to such an extent that
drastic measures will have to be
taken-perhaps that long threat
ened rationing of all transporta-
tion-even home-to-work trolly
and bus services-aS well as vaca-
ton train and bus travel.

suit IN the greatest disruption of
home life this country has known,
since Civil War days in the South.
On the war fronts, this glebal
struggle lis approachihG a phase
of sslchlSvfta1 importance that
there can be nothing but big news
in the offing.
ID. Invasion. It's bound to come
and soon, but the chances are that
the proper word is "invasions.
The European continent is in a
dith% of anticipation-the ltal-
ians, the Nazis, the anti-Axis fifth
columnists and guerrillas, and
even the still neutral nations. Both
Roosevelt and Churchill have
promised the second front or
fronts and there hasn't been a
word of complaint from Russia
against sh-American strategy
for several months.
(2) BomblngS. In view OF the
news, the only comment worth re-
cording here IS the declaration of
British officials that these quin-
tupled Coventry raids we are
now staging from Pantelerria to
Norway and BreSt to the Cauca-
sus are lust chicken feed COM
pared with what is ahead.
(3). The Pacific. Military OBJ
servers here who seem best in
formed, are merely grinning and
saying wait and see" when the
subject of our neglect of Japan is
brought up. This is such radical
change from the gloomy pessi-
misms of just a few weeks ago,
that it can only mean there is good
reason for such a new face. 1t
won't bear speculation, but ques-
tioning the possibilities of often
sive action brings from the wise
acres another question: '-All right,
why haven't the japanese made
one single important offensive
move in nearly a year. with the
possible exception of their pres
ent weak effort against Chung
king?"
