The WAR ON
MANY FRONTS

BY UNITED PRESS

British and Canadian forces which
invaded southern italy five days
ago were reported today to have
widened their bridgehead Is to 10
miles more In advances marked by
feeble opposition from Axis troops.
The British Eighth Army now
controls more than 200 square miles
Of the southwestern tip Of italy.
Fighting has amounted to little
more than patrol action, although
progress has been hampered by
demolitions touched off by the re-
treating Axis armies.
Belief was that the Axis line will
be established far to the north,
where 1t can be better defended
and supplied. Allied air power al
ready had made wreckage Of rail-
roads, air fields and all sorts OF
communication lines In southern
Italy before the first troops landed
on the mainland.
The American Seventh Army, sea-
soned In the recent battle Of Sicily,
remains the all-important TX" fac
tor in the italian campaign. Moth
ing has been heard OF Lieut.. Gen.
George S. Patton's fighting men
since Italy proper was attacked and
there have been guesses from many
quarters that will strike suddenly
farther north on the italian PENN
sula or elsewhere in the Mediter-
ranean sphere.
While the steady occupation OF
the italian toe continued, the Rus
sian army was reported to have won
another great victory in is summer
campaign with capture Of Stalino
industrial and railway center of the
DonetS basin and the 18th largest
Soviet City.
The fall of Stalino was first an
nounced by the German radio but
Moscow was expected to confirm
the announcement shortly. Berlin
! said that al the cjty's important in
stallations had been destroyed.

SPECIAL FUNDS
AID CAMP IGN
State Grant Made in I04I
Big Factor ID Cancer
Control Crusade

In ieli, Ia Connections 4 state
grant was made 10 the State De-
pertinent Of Health 10 be used 10
augment the work IN cancer BY the
maintenance and Improvement Of
diagnostic and treatment centers.
The application Of these funds to
the local clinic groups strateeically
located throughout Connecticut re-
suited IN dramatic improvements
as demonstrated BY Eleanor J. Mac
donald, A. B., research statistician,
division Of cancer research, In an
article IN the August monthly bull
letin Of the State Department Of
Health.
The ALLEGATION Is made on the first
Of July each year and is based on
the activities Of the hospital for the
calendar year ending one and one
half years before the fiscal year In
which the money Is granted. The
time interval between the services
rendered and the allotment OF the
money makes It possible to measure
the follow-up Of patients in the
early stages Of their treatment.
There was an increase Of 14.1
per cent In disqualification for cam
Ger in I041 over 1910, from 2,736 In
dividuals In 1040 to 3,122 IN le4l.
One Of the best criteria Of progress
in approaching the problem Of cam
Ger Is the use OF microscopic proof
In establishing diagnosis. OF the
total individuals hospitalized In i94i
for cancer, 7o.6 per cent took adj
vantage Of this procedure. This
represents q 23.6 per cent increase in
one year. In some types Of internal
cancer x-ray Is the best determining
method Of diagnosis. In 1941, sac
per cent Of the total cases hospital
lied for cancer submitted to dag
nostic x-days. Many individuals
had both microscopic and x-ray
proof. In the 6iagnostic x-rays
alone there was an increase Of 1876
per cent.
The Improvement In recording In
dividual histories and facts as to
duration and delay measures the
overall rising interest Of the public
and the medical profession. Five
hundred thirty.nine more medical
histories were completely Allied out
In lo4l than in 1910, and seven hun
bred eighty-two or 42.4 per cent
were more adequately complete as
to the factors Of duration and de-
lay in 1941 than In 1910.
Both from an humanitarian and
an economic standpoint It Is essen
tial to know the health status Of
individuals who have had cancer
for many years after their initial
treatment. Many are cured; many
are alleviated, Observation at inter.
walls makes possible the early detec-
ton and adequate treatment Of re-
currences. This follow-up service Is
one Of the most vital to the welfare
Of individuals who have had cancer.
In 1871, there was an Improvement
Of 1877 per cent In follow-up over
the previous year. OF the total In
dividuals hospitalized for cancer In
Connecticut "a per cent Of the l94l
cases are under constant clinical
observation through foalow-up. The
time Is not far OF In Connecticut
when al individuals who have cam
Ger win report routinely TO their
physician or hospital for veriflcation
Of their state Of health.

DISPUTE GOES
DIGESTION WLB

John J. Driscoll, executive secre-
tary Of the CIO state council, said
the dispute between the CrO and
the American Brass Co. has been
referred to the WLB in Boston for

ceive bonuses in the form Of War
bonds and stamps. The matter will
be decided upon by the Boston
branch Of the WLB.

NEWS OF CONNECTICUT

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. e--(UP)
The Connecticut Federation Of
Labor's annual convention today
pressed demands Of the New Haven
Central Labor Union In demanding
that Gov. Baldwin appoint three
superior court judges to investigate
the State Labor Department which
has been accused Of falling to en-
force various phases Of the wages
and hours law and other protective
regulations.
The department Is headed by
Cornelius ]. Danaher, former coun-
sci for the CFL,, and known as the
father Of the workmen'g compen-
sation act"
The complaint Of the New Haven
Union was sent TO Gov. Baldwin q
week ago, about the same time that
Danaher was invited by the fedora
ton to address the convention.
OIL Secretary John J. Egan took
exception to Q resolution offered last
night which blamed Gov. Baldwin
and the Republican party for the
legislatures failure to enact o state
labor relations act In its 1913 ses-
sion.
The resolution charged the gov
erner made o prediction promise
to support such an act, and failed
to do 80 when II was suggested
during the session.
Egan told the convention that the
governor tried to persuade the legl.
slators TO pass the bill, and was told
BY the law-makers that It had no
chance to pass In any form.
Gov. Baldwin, said Egan, was
prepared to sign o labor relations
act bill, once the legislature gave 1t
approval. The secretary said the fed
eratlon's fight was with the legisla-
ture, rather than with the gover-
nor and opposed passage Of the res
olution.
Other resolutions submitted arc
awaiting action included:
A recommendation THE Smih-
Connaliy law be repealed.
Criticism Of Connecticut Congress
sional representatives who support
ed the law, namely Sen. Francis =
Maloney and Sen. John A. Danger,
and Revs. Talbot, McWilliams and
Compton.
A suggestion that labor and IN
dustry cooperate fully TO see q
Il that returning service persons DC
restored to their former positions
Enactment Of "some formula more
equitable than the little steel
formula"
A stipulation that any Officer
elected by the convention hold o.
flee for q full term "unless other.
wise his office Is declared vacated
by the American Federation OF La
bor."
The last was intended to keer
Egan in office as secretary. Egan
Is member Of the international
Machinists' union which has with

The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1943-08-05

There are many other reasons
why it is going to be the obligation
of this nation to take a large part
in postwar planning to the end
that there shall be less cause and
likelihood of recurring wars, but
the matter of cost in dollars and
cents will serve as one illustra-
ton. It is estimated at Washing
ton that by the time the war is
over the debt of this country will
have reached $500, 000, 000, 900.
This is twice as much as the as
sessed valuation of all the real and
personal property, tangible and in
tangible in the United States. It
means that for every $1,000 in
money or property every citizen
owns there is a mortgage of $4,000
against it. This is merely one of
the reasons why the best intelli-
gence we can muster should be
applied to the planning for the
postwar world and the part we
are to have in it.

DOING US PROUD

Compliments are in order for
the buyers of clothing that they
have not lost their heads and
drained the stores dry of their
stock, in a spell of panicky pur-
chasing, fearing rationing of
clothes and paying heed to ill
founded rumors of shortages. The
trade itself can take great deal
of credit for helping to calm their
fears, to discredit rumors of ra-
tioning and to offer less expensive
goods rather than pushing high
priced, limited materials which
would have brought restrictions.
This all shows that we in Kenne-
wick are using better judgment
and observing the order of supply
and demand reasoning. There has
not been any letting up in the at
tractiveness of Kennewick women
and since the style is for more
natural appearance, we think our
women are really prettier. The
trend seems towards attractive
ness through simplicity and you
can't beat the combination when
you harness it with good judgment
and personal pride. The war has
not taken this out of local women.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN


A judge, in trying case of a
hayward child, lamented the dis
appearance of the wood-shed
spankings. There are homes here
in Kennewick where spanking is
outmoded, in fact it seems that
most homes today use other meth
DDS of punishment, perhaps more
satisfactorily. Maybe spanking
went the way of the wood shed.
The latter has been replaced by
a garage and spanking didn't stand
still either! But spanking was one
of the oldest institutions and even
nations use it today as the easiest
way to gain control of an unruly
subject. It may be the reason
spanking isn't as popular is be-
cause parents are too busy to take
the time or too negligent to go
into the ethics of this form of
correction. There are two sides
to the spanking argument and
modern child educators light win
in most cases, but even SO, there
wasn't much wrong with those
earlier generations whose folks
worked on the theory that to spare
the rod was to spoil the child.
