Fathers Want
Tennessee Fort

Fathers of Fighters this week fol-
lowed their praise of action taken
in the strike situation in Tennessee
by Gov. Prentice Cooper by asking
him to help start a Tennessee fort
of the Fathers of Fighters.
F.. L. Young of Calexico, execu-
tive secretary of the national or
ganization of the Fathers of
Fighters, sent Gov. Cooper informa-
ton about the organization dedicat-
ed to backing the men fighting for
the United States.
1--WE assure YOU that your direct
action in handling the strike situa-
ton in your state meets with the
full approval of this organization"
Young wrote Gov. Cooper. ut is
our hope that governors of other
states develop enough backbone to
handle similar situations in the
same decisive manner" Gov. Coop
er urged that all strikers immed-
lately be inducted into the service.

5th Year of War
Opens in Europe

LONDON, Sept. up The
fifth year of the war opened today
with the United Nations on the
threshold of big events expected
to bring Adolf Hitler to the brink
of catastrophe.
The only question still debatable
was the time the Allies would re-
quire to demolish the greatest threat
to the worlds peace and security
since Napoleon.
Estimates as to when the Nazi
dream of world domination will
crash in the dust of total defeat
covered almost any time interval
during the next twelve months.
But events of the past six weeks
the smashing Russian summer Of
fensive. the sudden toppling of
Mussolini, the Allied conquest of
Sicily, the perfection of the air
Hamburgerization technique and
the reverberations which have
shaken Hitler's Europe from Den
mark to Bulgaria-caused almost
every informed observer to revise
radically predictions on the end of
the war.

: Speaking by radio on the annlVer-
sary of the German invasion of
Poland, the pontiff sounded call
which responsible quarters believed
would spur whatever Italian peace
efforts may be under way.
Manifestly throwing his whole in
fluence behind efforts to restore
worldwide peace in 943, the Pope
resorted to the following denuncia-
ton.
"Woe to those who are building
their power on oppression, on tor
ture of the innocents, on injustice,
and those who interfere with the
building of a just and lasting peace"
HATRED MOUNTING
Hatred against total war" is
mounting in all nations, the Pope
declared, as everywhere the peoples
look at ruins and observe the war
operations re.ching a climax.
Hope must be given to the op-
pressed peoples that this year will
be the beginning of a new era of
reconstruction and peace" he said.
Against the background of the
papal pronounciaments, competent
quarters here doubted that the Ital-
ian regime of Marshal Pietro Bado-
Clio would be able to maintain
power unless it publicly and en-
phatically makes plain to the Ital-
ian people that all possible now is
being done to get Italy out of the
war.
Earl in his speech the Pope en-
phasized that his love for all hu-
manity was prompting his words
and they were not designed to
damage anyone but to aid everyone

Berlin
Another Great
Attack Made on
Capital Of Reich

LONDON, Sept. l. (UP)
British four-engined bomb
ers, hundreds strong, smash
ed another huge section of
Berlin into blazing ruins last
night in a 45-minute Thunderbolt
assault that marked the end of
the fourth year of the war.
Great, billowing fires were left
burning in the German capital and
the air ministry said all indications
pointed to great damage"
Swarms of German night fight
ers rose to intercept the bomber
fleet, but failed to halt the attack,

In eight nights. Forty-seven bomb
ers were lost. Many of the inter-
cepting fighters were destroyed.
While the tonnage of bombs drop

scale comparable to that of Aug. %,
when 1900 tons of explosives dev-
astated an estimated one tenth

VINO Tells Who, What,
When, Why and How
On Draft Situation

WASHINGTON, Sept. l..
(UP) The war manpower
commission today issued the
following question and an
swer explanation, with parti-
cular reference to fathers, of how
the Selective Service system fills
calls of the armed forces:
@. Will any fathers be drafted in
October?
A. If fathers are needed to fill
the October call the number
required will be drafted. However,
local boards will not call fathers
with children born before Sept.
Is, 1912, other than those who are
nondeferrable, except to fill a
monthly call that cannot be filled
from men, other than fathers, who
are not occupationally or otherwise
deferred.
@. Could the war manpower
commission or the selective service
system reduce the proposed net
war strength of the armed forces
and thereby postpone the drafting
of fathers?
CAN'T CHANGE
A. No. The total net strength
for the army, navy, marine corps
and coast guard is determined by
the COMMUNICATIVE chief and au-
thorized by congress on the pla..s
and specifications presented by the
war department and the navy de-
partment.

Radio Tokyo reported-and the
navy here in effect confirmed
that American ships and planes
showered the tiny isle with shells
and bombs in daring raid far
from known U. S. bases.
Marcus island is $50 miles west
northwest of Wake island which
the Japanese captured Dec. %,
1941, after heroic 15-day defense
by 1886 U. S. marines. With its air.
field and depots, it lies athwart
the most direct supply line between
the Japanese home islands and
their bases in the Marshall Archi-
pelago.
PLANES BOMB ISLAND
Tokyo said that wave after wave
of American planes bombed the
island while warships hurled shells
at its installations. The Japanese
broadcast noted that if Americans
could raid Marcus island, they could
attack the Japanese homeland.
The navy contended itself with
saying that "a carrier task force
raid planned for Sept. l is pre-
sumably in progress" but that no
direct report had been received
from the ships involved.
"It is presumed that there will
be none," the navy said, until
need for radio silence ceases to ex-
iSt."
The navy's statementswas made
orally by a spokesman.
The attack on Marcus, and its
proximity to the Japanese home
islands, aroused speculation con-
corning the possibility of an early
new air blow against Tokyo. The
speculation was heightened by Un-
dersecretary of War Robert P. Pat
tersons remark in an interview in
Australia that "Tou won't have to
wait long for the bombing of Jap
an"
FOLLOWED ATTACK
1t was recalled that the Doolittle
raid on Tokyo followed by six
weeks the initial attack on Marcus
last year. Observers we're divided
as to the possible relation between
the two. Some pointed out that
attacks on Marcus had the effect of
putting the japanese main islands
on the alert. On the other hand, it

Many Killed by Tanks
Firing on Crowds, 20
Year-Old Youth Says
BY HUBERT UXKULL

HAELSINGBORG, Sweden, Sept
1.-(UP)-The descent of the Nazi
terror on Copenhagen, with Ger
man tanks firing casually on groups
of by-standers, was described today
by a 2O-year-old Dane who was
there and who had best be identifi-
ed only as Holger.
Speaking with unbelievable calm
between sips of beer, Holger de-
scribed armed clashes of the Danish
garrison with tank-led German
troops.
He said the longest two hours he
ever spent were those in a rowboat
with seven other Danes crossing
the Oresund to Haelsingborg Mon
day night. Now he was talking
quietly, dispassionately, in my room
at the grand hotel:

an intersection. At that moment
the traffic light changed to red,
causing an involuntary gathering of
about 20 persons. The tank turned
it's guns upon the crowd and fired.
I saw five persons fall. The others
ran in all directions"
Here is Holger's story in his own
words:

early to see what was going to hap
