Editorials and Comment

billions for war goods, they have devel-
Oped strange complex toward news
papers. In all of the numerous publica-
tions coming to the Argus desk every day,
and week. we have failed to find any of
these that publishes free these govern
ment appeals for personnel. Hundreds
of government publicity bureaus are
wasting their time.
All newspapers, small and large, give
generous space to war bond drives, as this
is considered To be a legitimate patriotic
effort All of the various activities,
such as civilian defense, naval enlist
ments Red Cross, USO. SelectiVe service,
relief appeals. scrap drives. rationing-
these are published free as newsmatter,
excepting in cases where patriotic citi-
zens wish to amplify and strengthen the
appeals by underwriting advertising
space In such cases the newspapers
give as much OF more additional space as
is paid for
I'VE do not know of a single instance
where any newspaper has taken any other
attitude All newspapers are giving free
space to the fullest extent of ability.
Meanwhile, merchandise advertising by
private concerns is seriously curtalled
Newspaper revenue is down more than
SO per cent as result of rationed stocks
and removal OF thousands OF afllcleS
from the market
Through government insistence, all
materials used in producing newspaper
have been restricted in quantity, and
whatever publishers are able to buy has
advanced rapidly in cost. Government,
state or national. has made little or no
attempt to provide newspaper revenue
through paid government advertising
Many newspapers in the United States
have closed their doors for the duration.
If the government considers small
newspapers to be non-essential in this
war emergency, the publishers, will ac-
cept the situation, and will find other
methods of making a living. 1t is prob
ably true that many newspapers that
have been discontinued were "eXpend-
able" in other words, were not filling
an essential place in their respective com
munities. But if newspapers especially
weekly publications, are considered as
non-essential, the government should
cease sending an enormous and contlnu-
Gus flow of free publicity to these news
papers, procedure, which we said be-
fore, is meeting with little or no results,
and which costs the taxpayers great sums
for publicity bureaus and an overloaded

Editors Note We heartily concur with
this EDITORIAL.
(Covina Argus
Government requests to the Argus to
publish free notices concerning the need
for stenographers, typlsts, construction
laborers, and many other paid positions
are not complied with, as this news
paper regards such as classified adver-
tising, and should be submitted over the
counter and paid for at regular rates.
When Douglas Aircraft Company and
other war industries make an appeal to
the public for personnel, they pay dis
play rates. or order the publication as
classified advertising. When an army
officer enters a hardware store and de-
mands a hammer or saw, he lays down
a requisition blank, and the government
pays for the merchandise. When the
armed forces must take over warehouse,
requisition is made, and the govern
ment signs lease. Railroads are not
hauling government supplies free. When
the army or navy takes man through
the draft or otherwise, his pay begins
the day he is inducted.
Newspaper advertising space is mer-
chandise. If advertising columns are
opened without charge to the government,
it is virtually the only outright gift that
any business has made where the service
is of a commercial nature.
Since the war began the Covina Argus
editor has probably thrown two thousand
government communications into the
wastebasket. We regret the time it takes
to open and discard these communica-
tions. While the government pays out

French GueriIIas
Battling Germans

LONDON, March IL. CUP)-Re-
liable sources reported today that
a French guerilla army estimated
at $4,000 men organized under a
military high command now is en|
gagged in coordinated rebellion
against German occupation forces
and their labor mobilization cam
paign.
Underground reports from Europe
said hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of French men and women had
been arrested by the Gestapo and
Vichy police struggling to stamp
out the revolt, raising the poSsibili-
ty that mass executions of hostages
might be imminent.
Fighting French headquarters
said Frenchmen were flocking by
the hundreds each day to join the
guerilla army. Long-hidden stores
of arms, grenades, and demolition
charges were being dug up for use
against the Germans.

kAH! NO MORE
HACKED BREAD!

Housewives and husbands alike will

sliced bread Is again to return to dinner
tables. Lifting of the ban was announc-
ed by the agricultural department with
the sanction OF WPB) after assurance
that there was ample waXed paper avail

Oddly enough, public impression was
that ready sliced bread was banned be-

blades Now, it is announced the trouble
was there wasn't enough wax.
This was a silly order in the first place.
1t was half baked idea of which too
many have come from the confused gov
ernmental war operation. Let's let the
matter rest with the hope that such un-
necessary rules will become fewer and
fewer.
Certain it is that housewives will heave
a sigh of relief now that no longer must

British Tell Of
Arrival Of Hess

LONDON, March IL. (UP)--A
government publication told the Of
ficial story today of how Rudolf
Hess, deputy Nazi chieftain, landed
by parachute in Scotland in May,
1910, and told his captors emphati-
cally that he did not wish to return
to Germany.
The story was told in Roof Over
Britain" which outlined antiair-
craft defenses in the first three
years of the war.
The observer corps picked up
trace of a mystery plane, plotted it
south of the Farce islands, and fin
ally sighted it flying at 5000 feet,
according to The story.
GUNS READY

ready as the plane neared Glasgow

The attacking force of 16 bomb

Zeros were destroyed, three were
heavily damaged and probably de-

on New Britain island, before dawn
Thursday but heavy clouds pre-
vented fliers observing results.
Later Thursday Liberator, flying

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North
Africa, March II. (UP)-The allies
have thrown back three German
thrusts in the Sed Jenane area of
the northern sector, and American
planes have blasted an Axis motor
barge convoy in the waters between
Sicily and Tunisia.
The three attacks were made
west of Sed Jenane, but the Brit
ish First army stood firm and re-
PEELED them all. BY dusk yesterday
the allies were in control of all

HIT CONVOY
Marauder medium bomberS, with
twin-engined Lightnings flying es-
cort for them, fell upon a motor
barge convoy which was protected
by warships. Direct hits were scored
on three Of the big barges and one
of them blew up.
Three of the Axis planes which
were eScorting the convoy were
shot down.

commander of the British Eighth

ATTACK LIGHT
Additional details CT the fight
ing around Ksar Rhilane at the
southern tip of the Mareth line
revealed that the first attack the
Germans made was comparatively
light, involving only 80 armored
cars. Later, however, artillery and
dive bombers came to the support
of the Axis forces. The Eighth army
repelled the thrust.
