"SELF-GOVERNMENT" FOR
JAVA-UNDER JAPAN

Tokyo propagandists also tried to
present Japan last week as the "bene-
factor" of occupied Java in the Meth
erlands Indies.
The Tokyo radio said the Japanese
military in Java had decided to grant
participation in political affairs" to
the natives by setting up a 43-member
Central Council and number of re-
gional councils to help the military
govern the island
There were many strings attached
to this Japanese generosity" The
Tokyo broadcast said that a majority
of the council members would be ap-
pointed directly by the Japanese mill
tary and that the occupation author
tiles would also appoint a special
group to advise" the council. The
Japanese Domei agency disclosed, too,
that Japanese would be the official
language of the council with Malay
as an auxiliary language"

NOW IT'S "ELASTIC DEFENSE"
All SEA

The Nazis, who for some time have
been using such phrases as elastic
defense" and Withdrawal according
to plan" to cover their land retreats,
are now using similar defensive
phrases to explain the dropping off of
submarine sinkings, the Swedish
newspaper Svenska Dagbladet re-
ported recently.
The Swedish paper quoted Adolf
Hitler's own newspaper, Voelkischer
Beobachter, as declaring in a lengthy
article on the submarine campaign
that Germany, contrary to the last
war, wages elastic U-boat warfare"
1--WE do not sacrifice U-boats mere
ly to maintain the sinking figure on

RUMANIAN FOOD SHORTAGE
The Bucharest press disclosed re-
Gently that the government of Mar
shall Ion Antonescu had issued two
new DEGREES covering the Rumanian
food shortage, one restricting the
amount of flour farmers families
could keep for themselves and an
other requiring railway personnel to
confiscate all cereals being trans
ported by passengers
According to the Rumanian papers,
a circular letter distributed by the
government called the attention of
the railway workers to the fact that
many persons were visiting villages
and buying cereals and flour, although
these commodities were "blocked"
and their transport forbidden.
The report on the circular letter
came shortly after a dispatch was
transmitted to German newspapers by
the Nazi DNB agency disclosing that
nine-tenths of Rumanias wheat crop
was to be exported to Germany.

GUN COVERS PROTECT BIBLES

Bibles which are placed on every
life raft and life boat on army trans
port vessels are being protected from
the effects of salt water by the same
type of cover that protects pistols,
rifles, and machine guns in landing
operations. Curiously enough, the
covers used for pistols are of exact
ly the right size for copies of the
Bible, and have been adopted by the
Chaplains Corps as standard pro-
tective covering for them. The COW
ers are developed by the Quarter
master Corps from a pliable, trans
parent, waterproof film known as
vinyl They are buoyant enough to
float the Bibles if they are accident
ally dropped overheard or washed out

BOMBING PROPAGANDA

For months Nazi propagandists
have characterized Allied raids on
German military detectives as terror
raids and have tried to give the i'm
preston that the raids were being
carried out only against "defenseless
civilians and cultural monuments. .
Italian propagandists used the same
line until Italy surrendered to the
Allies last week.
An example illustrating the falsity
of this kind of propaganda was pro-
vided by two stories put out by the
Stefani agency, one before and one
after Italy's surrender, on the bomb
ing of the Italian town of Frascati.
Only two hours before Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower announced an armis-
tice and the unconditional capitula-
ton of Italy, the Stefani agency, in
a wireless dispatch for consumption
abroad, denounced the bombing of
Frascati as terror attack" The
next day, however, Stefani put out
story giving more fortnight explain
alton of the bombing.
Frascati, Stefani said, is 'believed
to be the seat of the German air COM
mand in Italy

BON Err

According to the Swedish newspa-
per Allehanda, it isn't necessarily true
what they say about German eff
cheney.
For two years, the Allehanda said,
Norwegians living in the town of Lei
hanger in Sogn had wondered why
the Nazis were going to such trouble
to build elaborate Notifications in
their town, which they regarded as
without particular military import
ance.
Last March a new German building
leader in occupied Norway must have
wondered, too. After inspecting the
Notifications, he ordered an investiga-
ton and then called off the building.
1t was discovered, the Allehanda said,
that the Germans had mistaken Lei
hanger for the town of Leakanger in
Stad, south of Allesund.
