By MIRIAM OTTENBERG.
A new blueprint to guide draft
boards in deciding which fathers
60 into uniform and which stay
on war jobs was made public by
the War Manpower Commission
last night.
The program is designed to post
pone the draft indefinitely for IA
theirs holding war jobs and make
those in non-essential work avail
able for induction even before the
general draft of pre-war fathers
October l.
The sweeping series of new orders
also puts new restrictions on the
movement of workers, particularly
those with critically needed skills.
Objectives of Plan.
Goals to the overall plan, accord
ing to VINO Chief McNutt, are to
hold essential workers on war-use-
full jobs if they are so employed
now, to assure transfer of workers
to jobs aiding In the war effort and
to supply men needed for the armed
forces without cutting war produc-
ton.
Considered the ultimate Admin
istration move to control labor
without resorting to national serv-
ice legislation. the new program was
described by Lawrence A. Appley,
VINO executive director, as a sin
cere effort to make a voluntary
system work"

CHIASSO, ON THE SWISS
ITALIAN FRONTIER, Sunday,
Aug. 15.-Heavy explosions heard
from the direction of Turin indi-
Gated early today that the Raj
again was attacking Northern
Italy.
The roar from the engines of
many bombers could be heard here
as well as the explosions.
(Reuters reported from Zurich
that an AFRAID alert sounded

the Royal Air Force is raiding
Italy)
Rush to Leave Milan.
Turin and Milan were attacked
early Friday morning in one of the
heaviest attacks of the war in the
converglng Allied effort to force
Italy out of the conflict.
Travellers from Milan reported
yesterday that following the RAF
bombing early Friday the rush to
ieave Milan was so great that
people climbed to the roofs of buses
and police were obliged to use force
to push people back.
They said the food distribution
system broke down and that while
some stores reopened they lacked
bread. A lack of water contributed
to the difficulty of fighting the
fires, some of which still were
burning yesterday. A department
store caved in yesterday afternoon.
The latest bombing of Milan ac-
complished more devastating re-
suits than any previous raid, the
travellers said.
Industrial Areas Also Hit.
Reporting that many apartments
and homes in the residential section
we're hit, the travellers SAID that one
building containing 1873 apartments
burned in three quarters Of an hour.
Bombs also hit in the industrial
districts, damaging a number of fac
tories. A streetcar barn was hit and
many trolley cars were destroyed.
Travellers also told stories of para
chutists being dropped near Lake
Como and claimed that police ar
rested some. One report said two
parachutists were arrested in the
main square of the town of Canob-
bio.
The stories of parachutists were
unconfirmed.

Jethro persuaded Moses to select

HOnIEFRONT TRAGEDY
The tragedy of the war on the
homefront, this third war we are
fighting, is that the strength OF
the United States stands on the
firm base of production. This is
what the slide rule boys do not
understand. They spend their time
figuring out how to divide among
a certain number of people the
limited quantities which their reg
ulations provide for us; if they
spent half the time figuring out
how to take the handicaps off pro-
duction and let the American busi-

KSKA EVACUATION
Sacramento Bee)

DScD
To Americans who had become con-
vinced the only way to retake Niponnese
held areas in the Pacific was, as express
ed by army officers, Jap by Jap" the
withdrawal of the japanese troops from
the Aleutian island of Kiska came as
something of a surprise.
This marked one of. the rare, instances
in which the japanese have relinquished
any conquered territory without a hand
to hand fight, and it may foreshadow a
sweeping change in the general tactics
to be employed in future actions.
If the japanese high commands new
policy is such that it no longer will be
necessary to rout the Nipponese one by
one from the fox holes, the tactics OF gen.
eral maneuvers can be restored, and it is
at this type of warfare the Americans
historically are best.
Such tactics, too, could have the effect
of shortening the war and reducing our
losses in ground personnel.
While it is dangerous to draw hasty
conclusions, the evacuation of Kiska
opens the way for much interesting spec
ulation

ONE BRIGHT SPOT
(Christian Science Monitor)

The patience and longsuffering of gro
GERS and butchers under the harassments
of food rationing must always remain one
of the brighter aspects of life in war
time.
The housewife, fumbling in her hand
bag for shopping list, money, and ration
books, may feel as if she needs an extra
hand for the job. But her grocer actual
lv does need extra staff and extra work
hours to take care of the details of the
rationing program
Apart from that, the storekeeper fire.
auently has to do an inordinate amount
of telephoning, shopping around, and
pleading with jobbers before he can OBJ
tain some of the scarce foods for which
his customers are clamorlng. His efforts,
at best only partially successful, earn
him no credit with the housewife who
seldom realizes what he is going through.
"If they only realized it, say store
keepers these days, I'VE have to struggle
iust as hard to get certain foods onto
our shelves as the customers do to get
them for their kitchens. Don't they
know we'd get the food if we could? Don't
they realize we're in business to sell food
not to hold it back?"
But in spite of occasional mlsundef-
standings and frictions and arguments,
the sympathy between customers and
storekeepers is remarkable. Both are
making generous concessions, each eXer-
cising patience and forbearance without
which the situation might easily become
impossibly difficult.

WERE BEHIND REV.
SEARS ALL The WAY

The Reverend Hayden Sears is to be
congratulated for picking up the glove
thrown down by certain OPA Officials
and springing to the defense of his col
league, the Rev. Adolph NJ Krahl, who
was accused of violating gasoline ration
ing regulations.
We are behind Rev. Sears 100 per
cent in his denunciation of the way the
Rev Krahl's alleged violation" was
handled and the sentence imposed upon
him.
When our ministers are told by fed
eral organization that they may not at
tend conference such as the Rev. Krahl
drove to when he allegedly fractured the
rules, then it's about time something was
done, or at least said, about it.
1t looks like someone was out to get"
the Rev. Krahl, one way or another.
We say this because 400 other minis
tiers used automobiles to drive to Santa
Barbara to attend the meeting yet not
another one was given a citation as far
as we know.
Rev. Sears told the trial Judge" who
tried the case that he had also attended
the conference. When Sears offered to
get the entire list of names of attending
ministers as we'll as the names of 800 odd
lay members of the Methodist church who
were there, the OPA men turned down
his offer
1t looks like someone is trying to make
an example of Rev. Krahl, possibly to
throw a scare into other ministers"

The third war is the war on the
homefront and in this war do not
need to tell you that we are not
doing so well. In fact I think if
we were doing as badly in the war
on the European front. and in the
war on the Oriental front, as we
are doing in the war on the home
front. we would be taking a beauti-
ful pasting from the nations against
whom We are fighting.
1t is the old story of the shoe
makers children, who go barefoot.
The United States has built itself
on good management, on ingenuity,
and on organized effort. Yet here,
in the conduct of the home front
affairs. we are displaying poor or
sanitation, poor management, and
confusion, duplication, immaturity,
and those other factors which have
entered into the conditions / have
| discussed in this column for almost
the past year.
GETS NO BETTER
l do not want to repeat all of
these things now. The situation
seems to get no better. and prob
ably never will get any better so
long as the slide rule boys in WASH
ington insist on trying to build a
house by putting on the roof first,
and laying the foundation last.
When Nature provides a system
by which the orange tree buds and
blossoms before the roots are in
the ground, then the system now
being applied to the problems of the
homefront will unquestionably be
successful, but not until then.
What is needed in Washington is
good management and good organ
ization. The President of the
United States must be willing to
delegate authority and define the
bounds of that authority, and to
make these things clear to all con-
cerned.
You have only to turn to the
| columns of the last three or four
months, in which have risen pat
| iently week by week to remark on
the duplication, the overlapping,
the lack of understanding between
administrative agencies, and the
designations of capable men who
cannot work under such conditions,
to know exactly what 1 am talking
about. AS a matter of fact, there
is nothing particularly new about
this phase of the situation:

THE CHURCH AND THE OPA'

Those clergymen were using gasoline
in pursuit CT their occupations just as
much as war workers driving to an air
craft factory.
Why was not Rev. Sears given cita-
tion as we'll as the 700 others?
The trial of Rev. Krahl was no more
than farce The two lawyers who came
over to Imperial Valley on the case acted
as prosecutor, judge and jury. The hear
ing was not held in public as were other
prosecutions. 1t was shuttled to a dif-
ferent building and apparently every at
tempt at secrecy was made.
If the charge had been that the gaSO-
line had been used for pleasure driving
it might be another story.
For two months the clergyman's ra-
ton of fuel was suspended, leaving him
on foot to attend many charges on the
large Yuma Indian reservation where he
is missionary.
If he had been doctor ministers and
medical men are under same or very
similar regulations for the use of gaso-
ine) many people may have died because
the OPA would not allow fuel for him to
attend them.
Neither Rev. Sears nor our attitude
about this case should be taken as a re-
Election upon our local rationing board
here in Ell Centre, where the cases were
tried Unfortunately, the members
of the board had little or nothing to do
with the prosecution persecution is
better word) or perhaps the outcome
would have been different.
Il is toward The legal masterminds who
came here for the occasion that our ire
is raised.
1t is raised toward those experts who
could not answer the question:
"Do any of you know for what purpose
clergyman may use his gaseline?
incidentally. Rev. Sears topic for the
evenings church services next Sunday will
be: "The Church and the OPA."
