Clarifying
Yourself
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Judy Garland learned the hBCS
of beauty at the same time she
was learning her educational ABCs
When she was signed by M-G-M
at the age of II. she was put
through an intensive grooming
period and given expert advice by
the Wisest makeup men IN the
film capital.
Most important of all the steps
in her daily routine, Judy says, is
the way she cleans her face. FIRST
she removes the mascara with q
damp piece of cotton, then splasheS
cold water all over her face. Using
a cake of pure soap, Judy WORKS
up a lather and pats this over her
skin and allows it to remain on Tor
three minutes, when she removes
the mask with cold water. She
recommends you do it both night
and morning to keep your SKIN
clean and youthful
And for a skin with a more allVe
and glowing look, judy uses bit
of lipstick mixed with just touch
of cold cream instead OF CAKE
rouge. Mixing it in the palm of her
hand, she smootheS it into hef
cheeks, blending it eXpertly.
In applying any kind OF cosmetic
Judy warns, pat and smootii IL
gently-dO not rub into SKIN.

THE BOMBING OF ROME

The bombing of Rome, capital city OF
Italy and also the capital city of Cathol-
icism, demonstrates vividly that the Al
lies will leave no stone unturned to bring
this war to a speedy and successful con-
clusion.
On the first view it would appear that
bombing the city is sacrileglous n d
against the highest concepts OF mans
spiritual existence. And yet closer
look dscloses that Just the opposite view
should be taken.
The part of Rome bombed was mill
tary objective The great railroad mar
shalling yards which were hit were used
to dispatch Axis soldiers to Sicily to kill
American boys. Those Americans are
fighting to give Catholics and all other
sects the right to worship if, when and
how they please.
1t is unfortunate that perhaps few
explosives did damage to churches and
cultural monuments during the raid. 1t
is even more unfortunate that Mussolini's
government and their Nazi higher-ups
placed military targets so near the
churches that even the amazingly accur-
ate precision bombing by American bomb
ardiers could not prevent marrlng OF the
sacred objects.
The only thing which will prevent new
and more devastating raids on Rome Will
be the final acceptance by the AXIS OF
most Of the worlds wishes to declare the
city OPEN All military installations,
including airfields, war plants, etc, must
be removed to other parts Of the totter-
ing empire" of IL Duce.

chance to comment on one of the.
most significant moments in world
history at his press conference to-
day. 1t was believed that the New
Premier, Pietro Badoglio or any
other faction in Italy, which might
hope to make a deal for peace with
the United Nations, would get
scant cheer from anything he may
say.
President Roosevelt, Hull and
other foreign policy spoKesmen for
the administration have said time
again that there has been no change
in the terms of peace as drawn up
by the President and Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill at Casa
blanca.
FIRST PEACE MOVE
Despite Badoglio's assertion that
the war continues" diplomatic
sources here interpreted the Italian
shake-up as the first move toward
an appeal for peace. The Kings
orders to resist invasion were be-
lieVed here to be designed to avert
anarchy and street rioting as well
as an effort TO restore national
dignity and love of country to the
italian people.
If the Italian people fail to rally
to the cry to defend the homeland
against vast Allied Armies in Sicily,
observers here predicted that
Badoglio would ask the Allies for
terms.
There has been no official COM
ment on the news from italy yet.
White House Secretary Stephen T.
Early said only: I'VE, as yet, have
no confirmation"
While officials were cautious in
appraising the sudden upheaval in
Italy, there could be no doubt that
the world was going through one
of the most significant moments in
all history in the breakup OF the
Berlin-R Rome alliance.
NEARLY COMPLETE
The Generalization or an already
| badly shaken nation appeared to be
nearly complete and the reckoning
date for Italy's unhappy 2l-yeai
| experiment in f'aSciSm seemed JuSt
| ahead
| The CaSablanca decision to wage
! war until the Axis sulrenders un-
| conditionally will be applied to Italy
and the future rulers Of Italy VIII
be determined only after the Italian
people have had an opportunity tt
express their wishes.
Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill re-
affirmed their unconditional sur
render" stand only 10 days ago in
virtual ultimatum to the Italian
people.
Die for Mussolini and Hitler-ol
live for Italy and for civilization,
the Allied leaders told the Italians
In exchange for unconditiona
surrender, the Italians were prom
ised a reconstructed Italy and re-
spected place in the family o
European nations.

Wayne Parrish, editor of Amer
lean Aviation, calls attention to an
abuse which not only is III bad
taste but also adds to the handi-
cap under which commercial air
lines are struggling to carry on
their highly essential function.
While scheduled flights are so
overloaded that even priority Of
fers only nominal assurance, 81
passenger transport planes sit idly
waiting, with full crews, for some
brass hat to use them if necessity
or desire prompts a trip.
rs it right" asks Parrish edi-
torially, for single medium
rank Army officer to take 2l-
passenger plane, with full crew, on
a cross-country trip for a confer
ence which could easily have been
handled by telephone, or when he
could have hoped on a domestic
Army cargo plane bound for the
same destination?
rs it right to have 21-passeger
planes providing luxury transporta-
ton for one or two officers when
the remaining space is needed for
cargo and other passengers?'.
The air lines unprotestingly gave
UP half of their equipment when
lack of foresight in the War De-
partment caught the Army with
out sufficient transport and cargo
planes at the beginning of the
war;" Parrish points out.

DISPUTE OVER SlACKS
Sacramento Bee

Recently some typists employed in the
Ford Motor Gar company's Highland
Park plant refused to wear slacks. The,
company had ordered them as safety
measure because the work took the girls
close to machinery.
For three days the objectors appeared
attired in conventional dresses and COM
pany officials refused to permit them to
work. Finally the deadlock was broken
and they donned slacks temporarily while
their grievance was submitted to COM
pany committee
What will happen if the Ford concern
decides no exemptions can be granted to
its "slacks or else" order remains to be
seen.
This is silly business.
Presumably the company knows what
it is doing, the slack attire is considered
essential for the protection OF its girl
workers. And in this day and age to
find girls who insist on wearing tradl-
tional feminine garb when there are
Slacks all about them, is out OF the or
dinary, to put it mildly.
The issue involved hardly is worth
miniature strike.
The affair is just another illustration
of foolish dispute which interferes with
vital wark at time when the war effort
should be the first consideration and such
things as clothes of a secondary nature.
The fewer wrangles of this kind Am
erica has, the better it will be for all con-
cerned-

MAJORITY OPINION
WmsOnUiife Register-PdjarOHidn

While there are some here who sincere
ly believe that japanese can return after
the war and take up where they left Off,
the great maj ority of Monterey bay re-
gion residents do not want them back
for many reasons.
This should be apparent to anyone
who heard testimony given at the state
senate interim hearing here Wednesday.
These opinions were stated bluntly, and
whether due to racial prejudice" war
hysteria, fear of trouble or race riots"
or plain dislike and distrust," they are
bound to make themselves felt when the
state Legislature garners together all the
facts, figures and opinions presented at
the hearings throughout the length and
breadth of California.
We think Santa Cruz cOunty's own SEN
atOr, Ray Judah, summed the majority
opinion up we'll when he declared that
I'VE got along with the japanese before
the war but then we suddenly discovered
that we cannot associate idealism with
that race
Altering of the United States constitut-
ion to deprive persons of japanese an
cestry of citizenshin-as many advocate
here is highly debatable question.
1t could be done, of course, but from
what we read and hear about the many
congressman in the middlewest and east
who pooh-pooh our japanese problem
it would take mighty lot of convinc-
ing arguments to get their backing.

Munda Subjected
TO Heaviest Air
Attack Of Conflict

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS
Southwest Pacific, July 26-(UP)-
Allied planes dropped 1876 tons OF
bombs on the Japanese base at
Munda in the heaviest raid ever
made by the growing South Pacific
air forces, it was revealed today
as front dispatches reported rein
forcements have reached American
troops battling the enemy in the
Central Solomons.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head
quarters spokesman said that the
record raid, made Saturday, ran
the total weight of bombs dropped
on Munda from July 19 to July
rs to more than $50 tons. A dis
patch from George F.. Jones, United
Press staff correspondent with the
troops on New Georgia island, how
ever, said the enemy Notifications
were much more elaborate than had
been supposed and Allied airmen
had found precision dive bombing
of jungle targets more difficult
than anticipated.
SIGHT AIRDROME
American troops are in sight OF
the Munda airdrome, key objective
of the Solomons drive and long
since useless to the japanese be-
cause of the heavy Allied shelling
and bombing, the dispatch added,
but todays communique failed to
mention land fighting on the wood
ed island.
Jones said that the unbroken line
of Americans around Munda en-
abled them to exercise unceasing
pressure against the Japanese de-
tenders, although he added that
the last mile to Munda will be the
toughest of ALL"
More than 200 Allied planes
in cluding four -motored LiberatOrS
and Flying FortreSseS participated
in the latest Munda raid, another
in series designed to soften the
Japanese for the final ground at
tack, and a message from the South
Pacific air commander said the area
was thoroughly bombed" Only one
Allied plane was lost.
DROPS BOMBS
A Liberator bomber flying over
Buka in the northern Solomons as
part of the unceasing air patrol
which has enabled Allied forces
TO smash four japanese seaborne
attempts to reinforce their Solo
mons garrison, dropped six 500
pound bombs within 40 feet of an
3,000-ton transport, the largest OF
a flotilla of eight vessels found
moving toward the southwest off
the Buka coast Results of the
bombing were not observed, how
ever. fE&
The communique revealed be-
latedly that an all-Australian force
struck heavily at the Gasmata air
drome on the south coast of New
Britain island last Thursday, en-
ploying the greatest concentrated
force of bombers and fighters the
RAAF has used thus far in the war
against Japan. The raiders knocked
out the Gasmata radio station and
shot up parked planes and enemy
personnel.

Allied Ships Sunk

IA others in the harbor of Syra-

BUND IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Just as an overwhelming array of men
and equipment is making possible our
victories on the battlefields, so Is our
government working on the home front
to clean out the Axis rats.
The trial of % German-American bund
members opened last week in San Fran
cisco on a charge of disloyalty to the
United States with the government III
the role of prosecutor.
Witness after witness has been called
to testify that the Bundists were organiz-
ed here to formulate and spread Nazi
venom through the arteries OF the AZ
states
Many of the former Bundists (they
disbanded about the time OF Pearl Har-
bor) frankly have admitted that they
came to this country from Germany with
the express purpose Of spreading Hltlers
doctrines.
Government agents have been very
careful in accumulating damning evil
dence about the Bunds activity to make
sure that if crime was committed the
perpetrators will not have a chance to
wiggle out through lack of a case.
One can't help but wonder with per-
haps a slight tinge Of sardonic amuse-
ment how the Bundists' case would have
been handled in Nazi Germany or Fascist
Italy.
Before they would have had a chance
to open their mouths to defend themselves
those accused Of such crime against the
Reich would have been lined up against
a convenient wall and promptly shot.
But that is not the way democracy
works.
Although sometimes cumbersome, our
justice is dealt out thoroughly.
