Now, the shortage of petro-

The fact that the shortage,

result of inefficiency, is to be

the American people is the SUBJ

WHO is going to seize the ra-

Is a city policeman going 10

Especially from individuals
whom they do not like, to whom
they may owe money, or whom

Suppose the citizen tells the
policeman or the brown shirt 10

his book. Does he then lose all
rations and become an outcast?
That book is the citizens own
property. It was issued to him

TNHE fact that a car is parked
Il at or near a race track or
movie house is not, as the OPA
says, obvious evidence" of the
misuse of gasoline.
A cardholder may live near
the track or movie house. He
may have a mission to sell hay,
oats or insurance 10 some one at
the track.
Nobody has any right TO chal-
lenge him on sight and demand
that he explain his business in
any locality.
And he has a right to refuse
to explain and TO retain his card,
unless the challenging authority
assumes the burden Of proof and
presents the proof TO some quail
fed authority.
Even then, the premise is
doubtful and dangerous because
unless there is evidence of the
violation of some law of conduct
no American should be expected
TO come TO attention and tell
any one why he is where he is.
He is entitled to his day in court,
and If the courts do not go crazy
they will refuse to entertain
charges against any man based
on the mere fact that his car
was parked at a track or movie

GOVT. IS
MEETING
Hopes Stirred Of Removing
Nation from War-Pro-
posaIs Planned

BERN, Aug. 5.-The announce
ment that the Italian government
will meet today to examine 'impor-
tant measures" again stirred hopes
of the Italian people that steps may
be taken to remove them from the
war.
The Italians are crying for peace
while Germany demands Italy stay
in the war.
One dispatch received here says
Italian Foreign Minister Guariglia
has drafted peace proposals and
containing among other conditions,
that no Allied troops come to Italy
except for control purposes and the
peninsula be neutralized
The Milan correspondent said
signs were scrubbed on the walls
there last night reading, Death to
Badoglio and the King We want
peace and work. The Germans must
get out of Italy
Cardinal Maglione, Papal Secre-
tary of State, meanwhile has con-
voked an extraordinary session of 18
Cardinals, now in Rome, for the
apparent purpose of discussing ques-
lions in connection with the inter-
national situation.

GREAT MANS
LADY" NOW AT
10Th CENTURY

The sweep and power of our own
great country and the courage OF
the men and women who made its
development possible, were unfold
ed on the screen of the goth Cen
fury Theatre last night when Para
mount presented its stirring ro-
nance, 1.-The Great Mans Lady
starring Barbara Stanwyck an d
Joel McCrea, with Brian Donlevy.
The story starts and ends in our
time, but in the interim it takes us
back as long ago as l848 when
most of America was trackless
waste. Barbara Stanwyck, then a
young, impetuous girl, elopes from
her staid Philadelphia home with
Joel McCrea whose dream it Is to
build a great city out west.
The story is intensely interest
ing. 1t wouldn't be fair to reveal
it in its entirety. This much can
be told. The three stars all con-
tribute their best performances to
date and their best is absolute tops
in the acting field. THE Great
Mans Lady" is great picture,
not to be missed by anyone who
seeks fine screen entertainment.

LAST TIMES
TONIGHT FOR
FANTASIA"

Walt Disneys Fantasia" show
ing for the last times tonight at
the Capitol Theatre, has been
hailed as the most exciting and
important picture since The Birth
of a Nation" Critics and public
alike have sung its praises in ex-
travagant terms. No two persons
ever describe it the same way;
Fantasia" has so many wonders
that it apparently appeals to the
taste of every man, woman and
child who has seen it
Comedy and charm together
dominate Fantasia" For instance,
Mickey Mouse makes his debut in
his first full-length feature in a
splitting characterization, the
Sorcerer's Apprentice who can start
mischief going, but can't stop it..
There are also five-hundred-o
new Disney characters, and Mick
ey's shining eyes sparkle in the
company of such new characters
as Mile. Upanova pronounce it
slowly and you'll get the gagD, the
ostrich ballerina to end all baller-
mas, and Hyacinth Hippo, as hill
arious a character as Walt Disney
ever drew.

lBy Associated Press

The Russian victory at Orel re-
moves what has been constant
German threat to Moscow since
Orels population was removed Oc-
tober 8, 1941, in the face of the
first German offensive.
Orel is about 205 miles south-
west of Moscow and is centrally To-
Gated on Is railway lines which
converge on Moscow from the
south.
1t is an important junction with
rails running in all directions, link
ing the city with Moscow, the in
dustrial Ukraine, with Sevastopol
in the Crimea
Orel is the key point in h e
northern end of a salient which
the Nazis established in the begin

Army troops.
This means the abandonment of
the whole Mount Etna area by the
Axis.
Germans in Peril
The whole German left flank, bas-
ed on the heights of Mount Etna
is in grave danger.
The British successes have been
achieved after terrific and inces-
SAINT combat since the giant Allied
offensive on the entire Sicilian front
began Sunday, pressed to the western
edge of Cantania Plain under
smothering massed artillery barrage
that continued both day and night.
Offensive Continues
The offensive today continues all
along the front as the Americans,
Canadians and British drive the
Germans back toward their last es-
cape, the port of Messina, SIS miles
north of Catania.
Tremendous aerial and sea blows
have hammered home in support OF
the great drive of the British. War
ships have rained shells on the
Taormina road and railway midway
between Catania and Messina.
American cruisers and destroyers,
ranging along the northeast coast
continue day and night Smelling OF
the German positions ahead of the
American Seventh Army troops now
swinging rapidly along the coast
beyond San Stefano.

CHAMBER HEARS
PORT SECURITY
REMARKS TODAY

Lieut.. Edward B. Meter of the
United States Coast Guard from
Washington, d. c., told members
of the Chamber of Commerce we
are doing 80 percent of the dam
age endangering port security our
selves through negligence and
carelessness.
He said that the Coast Guards
port security plan has been oper-
ating for three years, starting be-
fore the war because large
amount of sabotage was expected,
but that it has been found it is
more of local problem.
Lieut.. Meter said the careless
cigarette and the leaky oil line
cause more damage than the sabo-
teur.
Lieut.. Meter will talk and show
movies on fire prevention TIL is
evening at 7 O'Clock in the grade
school auditorium for the general
public
Members of the Chamber were
entertained by Miss Sylvia Davis,
talented daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Trevor Davis. Miss Davis played
several violin numbers and was
accompanied at the piano by Mrs.
Davis.
1t was announced that n e
Chamber will underwrite the tele-
phone for the Officers Reception
Committee booth in the Baranof
Hotel for the first three months.

II Duce was protected yards deep

that seemed endless. The man at
the desk pretended to concentrate
on papers before him. Suddenly he
bounced up, shook hands, and be-
fore l had time TO open my mouth,
plunged into the interview.
You request my opinion of COM
munism?" cThis was the burning
topic in Europe and l had sub
mitted a list of questions in adj
vanceD
"All right, 1t is finished. Smashed.
1t doesn't exist.
1T doesn't exist in Italy. 1t

just as capitalistic as before.

Italy and Communism
He sat down to arrange some
notes his secretary had given him.
I remained standing. From my
vantage point l looked down on a
bald head, with a fringe of hair
at the back partially hiding large
wen.
rs Germany finished with COM
munism?" I asked.
mo, Germany has much to go
through with yet. Communism, he
continued. lis spasm which con-
vulses a nation and leaves it feel
ing better for the experience. Men
and women suffer changes in their
lives. So do nations"
II Duce did not realize at that
time-twenty years ago-how pro-
phetic he was. Perhaps today, as
he sits forlorn, he realizes it.
In response to another question,
II Duce went on to tell how he
had brought prices down in Italy,
an experience somewhat similar to
FDR's current problems of the price
roll-back Only Mussolini used diff
ferent methods.
Prices must come down, told
my people--by force if necessary.
Next morning my black shirts APP,
peared in the market place and
they forced the prices down."
Mussoline did not add that they
forced down prices by spilling vege-
tables into the streets. Nor did he
explain that very soon farmers
found That 1t was more profitable
to keep their produce at home, so
that vegetables disappeared from
the market altogether.
rs it still necessary to use force
in reforming Italy?" / asked.
NO" was his decisive reply,
tforce has not accomplished as
much as the spirit of sacrifice"
Perhaps if Mussolini had stuck
to that last statement Italy would
not have used force to conquer
Ethiopia, would not have shattered
the peace machinery of the League,
would not have headed the world /
toward war, and today he would /
not be friendless. despised lonely !

Byrnes still is very much in the

both in and out of party circles
that appeasement of the South
which South Cardinals politically
