ny A BELGIAN JOURNALIST
Brussels. Belgium, July si.-we
Belgian journalists have been on
compulsory leave for four years.
From the start Of the German
occupation the enemy demanded
That We should continue 10 publish
our newspapers. with rare excep-
tionS. we refused.
But for the clandestlne press,
which up 10 now has numbered $50
different papers. our pens would
have clogged. myself have been
dividing my time between writing
my memoirs and contributing to the
underground journals.
Imagine my surprise. then, when
q stranger was introduced into my

telling me that he was 4 member Of
the Secret Service. asked me TO
write a series Of articles for the
hundreds Of American newspapers
served by the Newspaper Enterprise
Association CNEA).

well organized. but certainly
had not realized that they had
reached the point Of supplying the
Allied press with articles actually
written IN occupied Belgium.

sought the assistance Of a
friend whom I know to be the
core Of resistance 20 the German
roundup OF Belgian labor. I was
surprised by HIS suggestion that
We should meet at the Brasserie
Of the Hotel Central at noon the
following day.
I thought this hardly the place
for a secret discussion; all Brlis-
sells knew that this Brasserie was
az all times full OF Germans.
There we were. seated side by
side and confronted with glasses
Of beer-if one can so christen the
disgusting liquid which Belgian
brewers are forced to produce up-
der a German decree. The room
as usual was crowded with Ger
mans.

Light Naptha
Under Rationing
Prepared by
of WAR INFOR

Light naptha, the petroleum
product normally used for cooking
and lighting, will be brought under
rationing control, effective Novem-
ber 20, in Is Midwestern states,
the Office Of Price Administration
states. This is being done to pre-
vent the illegal use of this product
as motor fuel-a practice that
has become prevalent in the area.
Legitimate users of light naptha
can apply to their local ratloning
boards for issuance of "E' and
"R" non-highway gasoline coupons
for such rationed naptha as they
may need in bulk. No coupons will
be needed to buy that which is al
ready packaged in containers of
less than eight ounces. Local
boards can deny requests for light
naptha for home dry cleaning
it is not well adapted to such use
if a suitable non-rationed substl-
tute can be found at reasonable
cosr.

Vacuum Cleaner
Price Basis Set

Makers of new household vacuum
cleaners and attachments may
agree to sell these products at
prices that can be increased up to
maximum prices that will be in
effect when the cleaner is deliv-
cred, as a result of action taken
by the Office Of Price, Administra-
tion. Thus buyers can place orders
for the new cleaners and manufac-
turers agree to deliver them at the
maximum price that will be set by
OPA when production begins,
However, the action specified that
no seller may deliver or make an
agreement to deliver new vacuum
cleaners at prices to be adjusted
upward in accordance with max
imnm price to be set after delivery
unless so authorized by OPA. But
no such authorization will be given
at retail.

1t seems apparent that the huge
Federal debt to be faced at the
conclusion of the war will preclude
the ability of the Government to
continue heavy borrowing for re-
lief and made-work projects. The
national debt will have to be sup
ported and paid off by taxes de-
rived from productive enterprise.
Therefore the President will be
forced into a conservative, right
wing policy regarding business, nc
matter what his inclinations may
be, and no matter what pressures
may be brought to bear.
We believe that all signs point
to governmental encouragement
and assistance to private enter
prise, both large and small, after
the war ends.

Robot Gives World Taste
Of tt1e War Of tomorrow
Destructive Power of New Weapon. May Be
Turned Against Both Armies and
Civilians in Future Conflicts.
BY BAUKHAGE
NetUs analyst and Commentator.
WNU Service, Union Trust Building, Intel,is
ShiuCfou N

Intelligence service discovered a
new weapon being developed on the
Baltic coast; the Raj made photo
graphs. s3
Many pictures were taken and
finally large factory was discovered
at Peenemuende, an island in the
Baltic. with a miniature airplane-
shaped thing on the ramp. Seien-
lists deduced that the weapon was a
pilotless, jet-propelled planeow
Peenemuende and other manufac-
turing sites were destroyed, tsg, ,
BY winter, 100 ramps were dast
covered similar to the one at Peene-
muende all along the French coast.
They were bombed, repaired, re-
bombed. BY the following summer
new ones had been completed.
Secret service pieced together a
description of the bomb. Defenses
(barrage balloons, etc.) were pre-
pared.
The first robot attack began at the
time of our invasion of Normandy.
In the first month only 40 per cent
of the bombs were brought down by
defense.
The defenses were changed; the
defense belt was moved to the coast
so the gunners could get an un-
interrupted view of the oncoming
robots. BY July, "a per cent of the
robots were being brought down.
The RAF with speedier fighters
helped to get many. ~
The situation improved until Au.
gust. .,,.t
All this is highly condensed and
only suggests the tremendous work
involved as we'll as the loss of 45O
British and American aircraft in
cluding many heavy and medium
bombers, involving approximately
1900 pilots and aircrews.
That is past history. The fu-
ture, as ! say, is shrouded in mys-
terry. AS for the present. the meth
cd Of carrying the robots on the
backs of live-piloted planes makes it
possible for the enemy to approach
their targets from any direction. So
the attempt is made to stop the
thing at its source and so-called lin
truder" planes try to linger over
the German airdromes where il is
known the pick-a-backs take off and
destroy them as they rise. Some are
destroyed there. For the rest, it is
an endless patrol of the North sea
and the Heligoland Blight, searching
the whole heavens for the planes
themselves or trying to spot the ro-
bots after they are launched and
dive-bomb them down or pick them
off with ack-ack, or hope they will
entangle themselves with the wires
from the captive balloons.
| The robot has not yet said its
last word.
