Two House Members
Demand Review Of
Col. CoIman' S Trial
BY the Associated Press.

Representative OToole, Demo-
crat, of New York has demanded
OF Secretary Of War Stimson an in
vestigation of the court martial of
Col. William T. Colman, saying,
THE morale Of the Army and of the
public will be shattered by the re-
tention of such specimens within
our armed forces"
The New Yorker also demanded
yesterday that Col. Colman be sus-
pended from all duties until the
inquiry is completed. Earlier, Rep
resentative Shafer, Republican, of
Michigan described the outcome of
the court-martial as a travesty and
said he would ask the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee to review
the case.
Col. Colman, former commanding
officer at Selfridge Field, Mich, was
convicted by general court-martial
of violating the articles of war and
faces demotion to the grade of
captain, with no chance for promo
tion for three years. He was found
guilty of careless use of firearms in
the shooting and wounding of
colored private and on four charges
of drunkenness on duty.
If press accounts are accurate
"and this man is allowed to remain
as an officer of the Army of the
United States" Mr.. O"Toole wrote
Mr.. Stimson, Il could not blame
any civilian or member of the Army
from failing to have respect for
those who are known as Officers
and gentlemen by act of Congress.
Mr.. Shafer asserted I'VE cannot
have confidence in our military If
we are going to allow officers to
escape with nominal penalties for
serious offenses."
The verdict against Col. Colman
is subject to review by the War
and the President and
the sentence will not take effect
until finally approved,

Terms Sicily an Outpost"
Terming Sicily merely an outpost
of the fortress of Europe" Mr.. Nor
genthau asserted the current war
loan drive would not be the last.
Lashing at optimists, he added:
"A week ago, Italy surrendered.
We did the same thing all over
again. The war was won. We could
stop producing weapons. We could
reduce taxes. In Sicily we met only
a small fraction of the opposition
we are getting from the Germans
now in Italy. This is the beginning
of the war, as far as the United
States is concerned"
He pointed out that when and if
we conquer the whole of Italy, we
will still be nowhere near Germany.
We will still have a long way to 60"
Forecasts Heavy Casualties.
These next few weeks and
months will bring losses of life and
material that will shock and stagger

Let management spend less time
telling the public what magnificent
job it is doing-which everybody
knows-and more time doing the

Let labor think less about the
fun it's going to have on Saturday
night and think more about ways to
increase production and buy more
