The War Is Not Over -rA. wo.sa.pto. Pos,

Lieutenant General Brehon Somervell, commanding general, Army Service Forces, led off for the Army. He produced, before a big press conference, colored charts show ing the fluctuations of production for 1914, the increased demands for war supplies in vital needed categories.
 "We have got to recapture the feeling of urgency we had in 1943,' he said. Some people talk of oversupplies and waste. Ger tainly there are oversupplies on certain items. We can't arrange things to be cer- tain that the last shell is fired at the last Jap. We have got to give our comman- ders what they need right now to win this war as quickly as possible and bring the greatest number of boys back"
 Ralph A. Bard, under secretary of the Navy, told of the manpower bottlenecks in West Coast shipyards. Thousands of civ ilian employees have quit Mare Island, Hun' ters Point, Bremerton, for peacetime jobs.
 'Paradoxical as it may seem, our prob lems are created by our successes" said Paul V. McNutt, manpower commissioners. '"Too many people think that we are over the hump and that they may now let up in their war efforts Too many workers are leaving war jobs in search of civilian employment. This is dangerous develop ment."
 "We have job on our hands to get up production and get it up fast,'' said Charles E. Wilson, executive vice chairman of WIPE.
 '"There is no excuse whatsoever for let- down on the home front" said Eric A. Johnston, president of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States.
 Nowhere in this picture is there room for any feeling that the war is over, that industry and labor can let up for one hour
 Nowhere in this picture is there room for time out for speculation on whether Hitler will collapse in September, 1944, or September, 195O
 Definitely, the war is not over.
The sub., 1944-08-31

With the fighting on every front stepped up to drumfire tempo, many Americans sud- denly decided the war is over.
 Production of vital war material is either falling off or not keeping up with increased demands from the battlefronts.
 Thousands of war workers in key indus tries are quitting to seek permanent peace time jobs.
 Industry, whose magnificent war per- formance has been the wonder of the world, Is thinking of peacetime recOnverslon. There have been actual cases of important industries refusing to fill badly needed or- ders.
 Admiral Nimitz, planning new assaults on the Japs, is appealing for faster ship re- pair while thousands of civilian employees at Mare Island are quitting for peacetlme jobs.
 General Eisenhower and Lieutenant-Gen- eral Bradley are appealing for more heavy artillery, heavy ammunition, heavy trucks to run the Nazis out of France, while tlg- ures for 1914 show the home front is not keeping pace with the boys who are doing the fighting.
 General Clark in Italy and General Mac Arthur in the Pacific are pleading for heavy guns and heavy trucks while absenteelsm figures at home go up and tourist figures in resort states are the highest in history.
 With the ball on the 1O-yard line, an in- creasing part of the American public thinks the touchdown has been made and is be- ginning to celebrate.
 But the American boys fighting in Nor mandy mud, the Italian hills, the Pacific Islands, in Burma, on every sea and airlane. have not heard that the war is over
 They are dying and will continue to die until the last shot is fired.
 If America delivers the stuff they need. fewer of them will die.
 That was the proposition officials laid on the line.

The station will be devoted to

LETTER BOX
Dear Mr.. CAN'T:

Dear Mr.. CAN'T:
Perhaps you are not the one to
be bothered with such a trivial
thing, but I thought it would be a
good way to get across something 1
have noticed for quite some time.
I pick the Labadie playground
only as an example and because it
is the one 1 have had more occa-
sion to notice. Have you ever passed
by it at recess time? They do not
have a slide, swing, teeter totter;
nor do they have grass. You would
probably see. if possible, for dust,
one group of children inside the
fence playing in the mixture of sand,
travel, stones, or what have you,
|and another group running around
and stopping to wait for one who
has fallen down, and just getting
up with a skinned knee; and look
ing like he had just emerged from
the desert.
Yes, they come home with shoes
dust covered and full of those nice
stones, and their heads and clothes
dust covered, so that it takes you
the rest of the evening to have them
and their clothing made present
able to start another day; just like
the one before.
Yes, school is the place where they
go to be taught; but they do have
receSSeS. And if it is not possible
to have any equipment to play with.
seems as though they could have a
playground Of grass. Even the pris-
oners of war at Fort Wayne have
that.
thank you for your patience and
for taking the trouble of reading
this. 1 wish that it might bring
results.
Sincerely,
Mrs. p. l. 0.

the boys got out I don't know why
the Germans didn't fire at them as
they poured out.
The. escaped tankers naturally
were excited, but they were as jubi-

more. They had never been IN COM
bat before the invasion of Norman
dy, yet in three weeks their tank
had been shot up three times. Each
time 1t was repaired.
The main worry Of these boys was
the fact that they had left the en-
CINE running. We could hear it
chugging away. It's bad for tank
motor to idle very long. But now
they were afraid to go back and
turn the motor off, for the tank
was still right in line with the
