Allied Initiative Vital
Factor, Gen. Marshall
Tells Governors
Army Chief Of Stoff.
Citing Tunisio, Gives
Pottern for Victory
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Correspondent.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, June o.
Asserting that I'VE have the ini-
tative, the most vital factor in
the war" Gen. George C. Mar
shall, Chief of Staff, last night
gave the Governors Conference
"a pattern for victory" in the
war.
Using the battle of TuniSia as
an example, Gen. Marshall said
it provided:
"A perfect example OF co-ordinated
leadership for Allied action.
AN assemblage of overwhelming
military power. air. land and sea.
The explosive effect of the skillful
application of that power"
Governors who were thrilled by
the picture of the war drawn by Gen
Marshall today interpreted it As
meaning that when the attack is
made on the European citadel of
Hitler, the force will be so over
whelming, so convincing in its power
that the Axis enemies will find
themselves compelled to yield-as
they yielded in Tunisia-and that
the same relentless force will be
applied on Japans armies. which
also recognize to the full the Strate-
gic application of military strength
Gen Marshall delivered his ad
dress at the state dinner given in
honor of the conference by the
Columbus Chamber of Commerce
attended by more than 800 guests.
In his opening address, Gen. Mar
shall said it was one of the few
special occasions on which it seemed
advisable, as the war develops. that
public statements should be made by
the Army Chief of staff.
Before Gen Marshall spoke, former
Ambassador Joseph E. Davies deliv-
cred his first report to the public
of his recent special mission to Mos
COW when he delivered letter from
President Roosevelt to Joseph Stair
and brought back his reply. Mr.
Davies gave no intimation what
those letters contained. He gave
however, graphic picture of Russia
and her enormous military strength
and reserves in men and materiel.
Gen. Marshall told the Governors
that this is a most critical summer
I'VE have passed through the perioC
of military adolescence" he said
Our initial deployments have beer
completed and lines of communi-
cation solidly established. Quantity
production of both men and ma
teriel, the former in as exact 9
pattern as the latter, is now in full
blast. The enemy's initial advan.
tage in men and guns and in ships
and planes has been overcome"
He admitted that the last two
years of preparation have been 9
trying period. But today, he said
we stand squarely on our feet in
all respects.
Furthermore, and probably most
important of all, )" he continued, I'VE
have secured a basis for action as
to strategy, operations, shipping
materiel and virtually every phase
Of this warfare, in a manner with
out precedent in history"
Gen. Marshall described as inn

That supply line is functioning
so far as I know" Mr.. Knox said,
Whether the Japs are holding up
ships and examining them, I don t
know"
When asked if he knew whether
any ships had been seized along that
route by the Japanese. he said he

Charges Of Sabotage
Rochester Men Are Held
For FouIty Production
Of Bombs and Grenudes
Rv he ASSOC ated Press.

BY The Assoc :ated Press.
J. Edgar Hoover announced to-
day that seven persons had been
arrested at Rochester, N. Y, on
charges of sabotage in connec-
tion with faulty manufacture Of
incendiary bombs and hand
grenades at the Antonelli Fire
Works Co., Inc, Spencerport,
N. Y.
Mr.. Hoover. director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. said those
arrested were charged with will
fully failing properly to load the
powder charge in the bombs and
grenades,' and it was charged that
there were attempts made also to
pass material previously rejected
by Army inspectors.
He named these as having been
arrested:
Amerigo Antonelli, 50, a native of
| Italy, who became naturalized
American, president and treasurer
of the company: Bennie Piteo. 81, a
native of Rochester. foreman;
John Deritis. %, native of Roches-
ter, plant superintendent; Joseph
Deritis, 30, born at Lattimer Mines,
Pa, a plant superintendent; Domi-
nick Barbollo, 20, native of Sara
toga, N. Y, foreman; Angelo Co.'S
tanza, "a, a native of Italy. a fore
man, and Frank Bianchi, 81, born
in Rochester, a foreman.
The company, which has been in
the firework business since 1919, and
engaged in Government work since
April, 1942. had contracts with the
Army's Chemical Warfare Service
for the manufacture of several mil
lion bombs and grenades, Mr. Hoover
| said.
The allegedly illegal practices were
continued despite warnings by Gov
ernment officials, he said, adding
that employees of the company ad-
mitted they we're instructed by some
of the persons arrested to load the
munitions properly only when under
the direct observation of Govern
ment inspectors
Bombs Ineffective.
The seven men we're to be ar
| raigned before a Federal judge at
Rochester under a charge which
carries a maximum penalty of 80
years in prison and $4,000 fine.
Mr.. Hoover said that in some cases
an insufficient amount of powder
was used, while in others defective
powder was used. with the result
that the burning time of the COM
pleted bombs was altered, a lower
heat was produced and the danger
of bomb failure was increased.
THE FBI inquiry revealed" its
chief added, that high percent
age of the finished products was
being manufactured in a faulty
manner. While the full extent of
the damage is not known, the Chem
ical Warfare Service conducted tests
as a result of the FBI inquiry and
on June IL took over exclusive pos
session of the plant in order to pro-
tect the Government property on
the premises. Since that time all
manufactu at the plant has
ceased"

LONDON, June 22.-Germany,
shocked by recent reverses, is
facing a military and political
crisis, but the Allies must open a

if they hope for a quick victory
the Russians declared today, on
the second anniversary of Hit
ler's invasion of the Soviet
Union.
In special communique broad
cast by the Moscow radio, the Soviet
Information Bureau said:
During the past year the Ger
man Army has had no military sue
cesses. Don the contrary, it has
suffered one defeat after another on
the Soviet front and in North
Africa. Thus, as a result, the Ger
man military power has been shaken
and crisis caused.
But this is not enough for VIC
tory. Everything now depends on
how the Allies will use the favorable
situation for a second front, without
which victory is impossible"

By Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

Sale of feed wheat has been stopped
for the time being. Farmers have
used up the 125 million bushels to
produce meat, milk and eggs.
Pine county has never produced
enough of her own grain Many
farmers have taken on the job of
feeding more pigs, cows and chickens
than usual to help meet the food
goals. These goals will fall far short
unless more feed wheat can be had.
Only by appropriations by Con-
gress can we get more, so if pro-
ducers and consumers, who are in
terested in having plenty of pork,
poultry and dairy products will write
letter to their Congressman asking
him to use his influence in releasing
more feed wheat, then we can expect
to fill Uncle Sans orders.
Remember Madam Chang Kali
shek's response to President Roose-
velt's remark: "The Lord helps those
that help themselves"
If enough will bother to write to
Washington, D c., asking for more
wheat, we can be assured of a new
supply, and you can feel that you
have helped yourself and your coun-
try to bigger and better good sup
plies.
Corn always has been an import
ant livestock feed-and still is. But
war focuses attention on other uses
of corn. About 1912 bushels corn
make a barrel of industrial alcohol,
which in turn makes enough smoke

produce synthetic rubber.
Corn also helps make artificial
leather and tan hides for boots and

Corn products also make syrup and
starch useful in baking and cooking
Foundries use corn starch in molds
or cores for casting many kinds of
machinery for manufacturing war
supplies. Corn sugar is used in
manufacturing rayon, to fix colors in
printing and dyeing, and also in
manufacture of vitamins such as
riboflavin in medicine.
