Presidential Tasks
For 1943 Include
Many Appointments
Supreme Court Justices,
OPA Administrator
Must Be Named
BY the Associated Press.


One of President Roosevelt's S mani
told tasks, now that the holidays are
past. is that of finding the men for
nearly score of important Federal
positions which have become vacant
in recent months.
The two top posts from public
interest standpoint are those of
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, vacant since October 4 wien
Justice James F.. Byrnes resigned to
become economic sterilization direc-
tor, and Federal price administra-
tor to succeed Leon Henderson.
nominations for these Jobs NAV
go to the new Senate next week,
though that for the Supreme Court
may be delayed a little longer
Senator Brown, Democrat of Mich
lgan, defeated for reelection in
November, is expected to get Mr..
Henderson's job. Washington has
given up guessing on the court place
but many believe it will 60 to a
Westerner.
Judge Rutledge Mentioned.
Justice Wiley Rutledge. a 1929
Roosevelt appointee on the District
Court of Appeals, has been in the
latest speculation, but one informed
source said today he believed two or
three men were still being consid-
cred.
Besides Senator Brown, two other
Democratic Senators who lost out
to Republicans in November are in
line or have been recommended for
new Governments posts.
One, Senator Lee. Democrat. of
Oklahoma, will be nominated for a
place on the Civil Aeronautical
Board. Through an error, he was
named before Congress adjourned,
but his nomination will have to be
resubmitted after he leaves the
Senate because of a constitutional
ban against legislators taking civil
ian posts created during their con-
gressional service.
Senator Schwartz, Democrat, of
Wyoming. has been recommended
for place on the National Labor
Relations Board or the National

disease will spread to this key war
work center, DR.. Hubley R. Owen,
city health director, said in urging
residents to submit to vaccination.
A run on vaccine occurred in drug
stores, but the Health Bureau said
there was no immediate danger of
a shortage. The serum is manu-
factured here by eight firms.
Only one case, in suburban Abing-
ton, had been reported in the i'm
mediate Philadelphia area.

This Changing World
Jops Hope for Time to Fortify Their Gains
While We Wear Ourselves Out in Europe

Not so with the Japanese. The
indoctrination of Hirohito's sub
jects has been so thorough that
they are convinced they must die
on the battlefield unless they de-
feat us or can compel us through
outside circumstances to grant
negotiated peace whereby at least
some Of their gains since 1881 are
recognized.
1t is difficult to know what is
actually going on in the minds
Of the Japanese leaders and OF
course their plans for the future
are not certain.
There are some military leaders
who believe that even If the Japs'
offensive actions have come to an
end the struggle to bring them to
their knees will be so long and so
outlast the resistance of the Ger
mans and the Italians that a
compromise might be possible
with the war-weary United
Nations.
Little Concern for Hitler.
In order to achieve this second
choice to debating a peace in
Washington" 1t is essential that
the defenses Of Japan's outposts,
Borneo, the Netherlands Indies,
Philippines and Malaga, must be
so powerful that we shall be COM
PEELED to conquer them one by
one with enormous losses.
From all indications received
IN competent Washington circles
the work being done by the Japs
IN those islands is extraordinary.
The morale OF the troops makes
up for what they have lost in the
fight against us in the last five
months. New airdromes, power
full Notifications and all the other
necessities for the defense of the
islands which offer ideal natural
Notifications by their geograph-
ical conflguration are being
erected with beaver like energy.
The Japanese seem not to
worry about what is going on in
Europe and Africa and are little
concerned about what may hap
pen to Hitler and to Mussolini.
The battle for Africa, which they
consider only prelude to a much
more gigantic and bloody battle
for Europe, plays into their
hands. They are aware that the
Nazi submarine campaign is
helping them inasmuch as it de-
prives us of the surplus trans
ports needed for offensive opera
tions in the Pacific.
The more men, ships and
planes we pour into Europe the
better chance they have to COM
plete fortification of land bases
which are surrounding Japan
over long distances. No one in
Japan seems to be concerned over
whether Hitler and Mussolini are
defeated. All that the Toxic
leaders are interested in is that
the Nazis and the Fascists do
not give up the battle too early
and enable us to turn on Japan
while we are still very strong.
The longer the war in Europe
lasts the better their changes are
of keeping at least some of their
military conquests. An economic
exhaustion of the United States
will make the American people
SO Toxic thinks-less interested
in continuing the war across the
Pacific after the European branch
OF the Axis has been defeated.

democrats had threatened that
If the administration undertook
to press, in the old Congress, for
passage of the new war powers
bill affecting immigration and
the tariff, they would vote for
Minority Leader Martin for
Speaker. Nothing like that is ex-
pected to happen, and in all prob
ability it would never have hap
pened, even if the war powers bill
had not been laid aside, as it was.
Speaker Rayburn and Majority
Leader Mccormack face difficult
tasks in the new Congress. The
once overwhelming Democratic
majority in the House has been
cut to margin of mere hand
full. The Democrats have 222
members OF the new House and
the Republicans 2Oe, with the
other four seats held by minority
parties. 1t will be a job always
to keep enough Democrats in
Washington to maintain
majority.
Minority Leader Martin. dur
Ing the last Congress, was signally
successful in marshaling the Re-
publlcans for important votes.
Sometimes he caught the DEM
ocrats napping-and in alliance
with anti-New Deal Democrats
was able to upset administration
legislative plans. Such maneu-
vers will be far easier in the
coming Congress.
Mr.. Martin will be continued
by House Republicans as their
leader beyond the shadow of a
doubt. The Massachusetts men,
Der has the liking of the Repub-
llcan members. He came to the
leadership of his party the hard
way. In the last few years he
has handled difficult task well.
One reason is that he has not
sought peysonal gain or personal
plaudits.
Efficient as COP Chairman.
Not only has Mr.. Martin ham
died Republican affairs in the
House. but from the summer of
1910 until a few weeks ago he
served as chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee. He
was selected for the craftsmanship
by Wendell L. Willkie-largely
because Mr. Martin had proved
his worth as Republican leader
In the House.
AS national chairman Mr.. Mar
tin did an efficient job, too. Mr..
Wlllkie was defeated for the Pres
idency, but the Republicans made
big gains in voting power and
carried number of the Midwest
ern States. 1t was Mr.. Martin
who helped to build up the party
organization which did a real
job on the opposition in the elec-
tlons last November.
Representative Mccormack. also
OF Massachusetts,, has grown in
stature since he became Demo-
cratic leader. 1t is his task, along
with Speaker Rayburn, to direct
administration forces in the
House, and to keep the admins
tration correctly informed of the
sentiment in the House itself on

new TAX PRGRAM

Treasury Secretary Morgenthau has
expressed desire to assist Congress in
formulating the new tax bill which is to
be adopted we hope, between now and the
new year. But, according to Represen-
tative Knutson of Minnesota and Rep
resentative Doughton of North Carolina,
the Treasury has no rounded program
to offer.
Having in mind what happened when
the Treasury helped Congress frame the
pay-as-you-earn tax law, Mr. Morgen-
thau's lack of plan now can not be
considered as really catastrophe.
The congressman, who have been
around talking with constituents, must
know that while we taxpayers are ready
to pay more, if that is the way to beat
Hitler and TOTO, we aren't prepared to
stand much longer for such amateurish
bungling as that of last spring.

TWO TO GO

When General Eisenhower was seeking
some code expression for the command
to attack-something which every Ameri-
can would recognize instinctively, but
which would mean little to others-he de-
cided happily upon the phrase with which
every baseball game is started: Play
ball!"
Before this was known to the American
public, Benito Mussolini, who stabbed
France in the back on June 10, 1910, dis
appeared mysteriously from the interna-
tional scene. And spontaneously, all over
the United States, men and women found
ready-made another expression borrowed
from the national pastime: "One down,
two to CO."
Now the "One down. has become
fact. Not merely pompous, loud-mouth-
ed, yellow-livered Mussolini is down, but
the nation of decent people that he be-
trayed has collapsed as belligerent-
has thrown in the sponge, surrendered
Internationally.
One down. That makes us very hap
py. Truly, we have passed the end of
the beginning and have arrived at the
beginning of the end.
But-two to go. The guy who has
been tucked away was at the bottom of
the batting order, where the pitcher
usually is, although Mussolini and his
reluctant Italy have done no pitching
since little Greece forced Musso to call
in relief hurler. The men now coming
up are at the top of the batting order.
We can get them out. But there's no
use kidding ourselves that we can sneak
any floaters past them the way we did
with the Italians, who never wanted to
play ball anyway, but who would much
rather have sat under their olive trees
with some bottles of chianti and sung
sweet love songs to their girl friends
The Germans and the japanese are
tough babies They are tough because
they love this game of war; because they
have been long and well trained in it,
because they got the jump on US, and
not least because they realize that when
they are whipped they are not going to
get off as easily as the Italians will
BY all means let US rejoice at the vic
tory over Mussolini and the Italians. But
let's forget this out-of-thetrenches-be-
fore-Christmas hooie. It's not only silly.
It's dangerous. We've got to whip the
Nazis and the Japs until they're paralyz-
ed SO now that we've given three rous-
ing cheers for ourselves, let's get on with

VICTORY GARDENS
Nevada State JournaD

Twenty million Victory gardens are
harvesting or have harvested crops worth
a billion dollars, according to estimates
of the United States department of Agrl-
culture and Stanford University. These
totals surprised the government officials
who urged public devotion to gardening.
The response surpassed their most op-
timistic expectations.
Several curious results of the garden
ing drive have been noted. In some cities
the experts made surveys and advised
against planting in certain "blighted'
areas. Vegetables would not grow there,
it was owishly stated. But the town
farmer, with born diStruSt of experts
rivaling that of his rural contemporary,
went ahead with his spading, raking and
seeding. Results have been amazing. Pro-
duction was tremendous on lots that for
merly were dumping places for ashes
and tin cans.
Nevada's claims have not been sum-
married. but in Washoe county the yield
of Victory gardens, including OF course
the very prolific squash in its various
forms, are large and also valuable.
Tentative surveys indicate that nearly
all of this years gardeners will continue
next year and will be Joined by thous-
ands of others The advice is to start
that 1914 Victory garden now. Break
ing ground this fall for spring planting
will assure much greater yields. And
there is not the slightest chance that
the produce of Victory gardens will not
be needed again next year

!TALY'S DOUBLE.CROSS
(Ontario Daily Report)

Said Superman Hitler yesterday, ''The
time has come when | can talk to the
German people without deluding myself
or them" These words show what des-
perate straits the fuehrer is in when he
must break down and tell the truth.
Hitler's righteous anger at Badoglio
because of the Italian surrender is fun
ny. When the japanese ENJOYS were talk
ing peace in Washington on the very day
that Pearl Harbor was struck, Hitler
thought it great strategy. But when Bad
oglio pulls similar double-cross on Hit
Ter it is shameful thing.

Sacramento Bee)

The New Republic finds itself aggriev-
ed because the film made from John
Steinbeck's novel, the Grapes of Wrath,
is not among the 40 American motion pic
lures selected by the Office of War In
formation to be shown for propaganda
purpose abroad.
1t quotes Variety as saying the State
department put the ban on the picture
because 'It depicted a portion of Amer
lean life that was better left unpubliciz-
ed"
Whatever the reason, all Californians
will approve the decision of the State
department not to send the Grapes of
Wrath film across the ocean on a propa-
ganda mission
It's distortion of the truth, it's libel on
California, and its downright falsehOOds
did enough injury to this state at home,
without giving them official appreciation
all around the world
Moreover the conditions therein COM
planned of no longer exist anyway. To
spread Steinbeck's one sided version be-
fore uninformed and ignorant alien
audiences would be a rank disservice to
them as we'll as to ourselves
