Volunteers Check
Food Prices

About 10000 more volunteers
are needed to continue the price
control program, OPA says. More
than 10000 price panel volunteers
recently visited 386, ,289 food stores
in this nationwide drive to tell
community grocers about price
control and help them comply with
OPA regulations. Some volunteers
in rural areas worked under con-
siderable hardship, OPA points
out. On an island in Lake Michi-
gan, reached only by mail plane,
arrangements were made with the
mail plane pilot to check the four
stores located there. In Plaque
mines Parish, Louisiana, boats
were used to survey stores in
swamp areas. And, in rural mount
ain communities, price panel vo-
lunteers walked 10 to IL miles to
carry out the compliance program.
The survey showed 166,785 price
violations on the 10 food items
checked and 44s,O41 price posting
violations.

Unemployment
For Veterans

To be entitled to unemployment
rights under the Selective Train
ing and Service Act of 1910, the
veteran must be honorably dis
charged and must apply for reem-
ployment within 40 days after he
is relieved from" training and
service, according to National
Headquarters of Selective Service.
A soldier placed in inactive status
and transferred to the Enlisted
Reserve Corps at his own request
to engage in essential industry,
loses his unemployment rights if
ne does not apply to his former
employer for reinstatement within
DO days after his transfer. A We
teran has recourse to the courts to
collect back pay if his reinstate-
ment is improperly delayed by the
employer.

On Food Situation

Although farm population of the
United States is four million less
than during the last war, Ameri-
can farmers produced AZ per cent
more food in 1913 than in 1918,
the Office of War information said
in reporting need for four million
volunteer farm workers until after
harvest this year. With the aid
of the War Food Administration
and the Office of Price Administ-
ration, owl reported on the cur
rent food situation. Comparing
this year with last: apples, pears,
peaches and cherries will be more
plentiful; slightly less fluid milk
and cream will be consumed; less
chicken will be available; eggs will
continue plentiful. Other high
lights: wartime increases of in
come and food have enabled mil
lions of Americans to increase
their diets; rationing will be need
ed until the war is won; current
point-free meats will remain re-
asonably plentiful, with some cut
of better grades less plentiful; the
present point holiday on canned
vegetables is only temporary and
on some meats may be temporary;
the 1943-44 citrus fruit production
will be 10 per cent higher than
last year; the last half of 1914 will
show less butter and lard, but
more margarine, shortening and
vegetable oils than during the
first half; sugar supply is adequ-
ate but no increase in household
allotments is in sight this year.
For nutritional reasons, the report
recommends home production of
Vitamin C rich foods, such as
tomatoes, and consumption of
milk, meat and enriched cereals
as sources of ribohavin and niacin.

People Against Strikes

T'HE AMERICAN people, at
= the present critical stage of
the wars in which nations are
engaged, will not tolerate strike
in q war-connected industry that
arises over jurisdictional disputes
or involves recognition" of
specific unions.
With millions of American fight
ing men about to risk their lives
in various theaters of activity,
public opinion is definitely against
strikes in war-connected industries
for any cause. While the record of
organized labor, as a whole, is
good and almost all responsible
leaders seek to avoid strikes, the
permanent interest of the laboring
class is being injured by irrespon-
sible and headstrong action on the
part of a relatively few workers.
The strike Of $500 members Of
the Independent Foremen's As
sociation of America, which caused
nearly 10000 employees to be idle,
has been ended but not until Gen.
eral Arnold, Chief Of the Army
Montgomery County sentinel., 1944-06-01

Air Forces, Rear Admiral Chase,
Of the Navy, and Chairman Will
liam H. Davis, of the War Labor
Board, publicly called attention to
the serious effect of the strike.
Pointing out long-range fighting
aircraft must accompany our
bombers and that the strike has
cost the Army $50 Psi Mustang
fighters, the General warned that
the shutdown, If continued might
affect bombing operations over
Germany and thus affect our in
vasion operations and enable the
Nazis to recover from our aerial
blows.
The General made it plain that
losses of bombers over enemy ter
ritory are determined by the num-
ber of long-range fighter planes
that go along as an escort and that
any halt in the production of these
fighters will inevitably mean death
of some members of the bomber
crews.
Explaining that he had a res
possibility to the crews and their
families, the General asked:
what can l say to the crew men,
bers of the planes that are shot
down, those that may be taken
prisoner, those that may be
wounded? How can I explain to
the relatives of those that are Kill
led the lack of fighter aircraft that
l didn't have or may not have to
send in with those bombers? 2"
There is only one reply to such a
question which definitely accuses
the strikers with guilt in connec-
tion with the death of American
airmen. The strike leaders called
off the strike, They were told by
Chairman Davis: "You can't win.
If you insist on going on, the
strike will be broken, the work will
be done. You have a tough en-
ough fight on your hands as it is,
but if you take on the Government
in wartime, you are licked"

Allies, Holding Offensive,

'veritas,' Famed British Military Expert,
Sees Nazis Handicapped by Being
Pinned Inside Defense Circle.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, d. C.
What happens when ''the coiled
springs Of action" are released in
the cataclysm Of invasion?
Europe is enveloped in the smoke
and confusion of battle and only oc-
casionally does this fog lift ''show-
ing the swaying forms Of vast ar
mics amid the screaming clatter Of
mechanized combat" It descends
again plotting out the view and
leaving us uncertain as to the
shape Of the PLAN"
That Is the observation Of one of
the keenest British military experts,
'Veritas," whose privately circulat-
ed analyses are cabled to this coun-
try and eagerly scanned by persons
most interested in the conflict now
going on.
And Veritas reminds us that we
can only maintain our sense Of
perspective and proportion if we
keep carefully In mind certain fun
damental aspects Of the military sit
uation from the German standpoint.
This, likewise, applies to the politi-
cal aspects.
A well-known psychologist, DR..
Norman Maier of the University Of
Michigan who predicted the failure
of the Munich appeasement program
by demonstrating in advance that
according to psychological princi-
Piles. 1t could not succeed, recently
made some interesting observations.
He said that Hitler would be liqui-
dated and a revolution would take
place in Germany as soon as the
last Of the myths" created by the
German propagandists for the pur-
pose Of lulling the Germans into a
false sense of security were explod-

long to a frustrated society,"" Hit
Ter cured their Illustration with ag-
gression, when aggression is frus-
trated. nothing else will be left.
Revised Propaganda
This type of security" propagan-
da being fed to the German people
had to be revised recently. So much
had been said about the strength of
Nazi fortifications that the leaders
realized the people had developed
what they called a "Maginot mind. :"
In other words, they had become
reassured to the point of compla-
cency. Therefore. the more recent
propaganda foreshadowed success
ful landings by the Allies and played
up the second line of defense.
For instance, 1t was stated that
the city of Lyons was fortified to re-
sist operations in case it became
the center of the conflict Lyons is
200 miles inland.
Thus, the effort was made to pre-
serve the myth Of security up to the

French Ready To Strike

I AIRY ALLEN, Associated
- Press war correspondent, who
has been released after twenty
months in Italian and German pri-
son camps, believes that "there
will be a great uprising" when the
Allies strike in France.
Mr.. Allen says that the Nazis
are battling a widespread wave of
terrorism in France, where thou
sands of pro-Allied French, or
ganized into powerful bands, have
hidden scores Of field guns in
woods and forests.
This is an interesting revelation
in regard to the attitude Of the
French people. While under the
Nazi yoke, which is steadily tight
ened by the Vichy regime, all that
a French patriot can do is to await
favorable opportunity, such as
the invasion, to attack the enemy.
Mr.. Allen, referring to condi-
tions in Germany, reports consid-
cradle destruction of factory areas
and residential districts but some
what surprisingly says that he did
not see "a single railroad station
destroyed, or even seriously dam
aged" He concludes that the Ger
man communications system is, if
anything, better organized than a
year ago.

Fifth War Bond Drive
Near

IN THE MONTH of June, people
= of the United States will be
asked, once more, to invest some
of their money in the future of
their nation.
The vast spending that accom-
panies war on an unprecedented
scale requires more money than
the Government can collect in
taxes. To pay its bills, the Treas
ury must have a flow of funds.
Some Of this money must come
from the investment of citizens.
Few Americans deserve any
credit for investing some Of their
surplus cash in Government bonds.
The security is good and the inter-
est rate attractive. 1t is the
duty of every loyal American to
support the war effort financially,
as well as in other ways.
While no credit attaches to the
American who lends some of his
money on good security, consider
able discredit should apply to
Americans, who, for any reason,
refuse to support the fighting men
who risk their lives. The ships,
tanks, guns, planes and other
paraphernalia that our soldiers
and sailors must have if they are
to live, much less win, can be OBJ
tanned only when the Government
is able to buy them.
This article appears before che
new War Bond Drive begins in
order to remind our readers of the
call to be made. In the meantime
we can make whatever arrange
ments may be necessary in order
to subscribe literally to the Gov
ernment's loan. In doing this, the
people at home give some support

Therefore in viewing the present

Recently, the Office of Defense
Transportation announced that pub

cities throughout the country were

dustry Constantly increasing
number of workers trained in one or
more phases of automotive indus
try"
The United States Office of Edu-
cation is sponsoring the automotive
maintenance training program.
They are trying to help fill the gap
in automotive maintenance person
mel caused by the war.
But what many people do not
realize is that it is also conducting
courses that directly touch the farm.
Congress appropriated $12, 500, 900
for the food production war training
program which the Office of Educa.
tion administers.
The minimum age limits for both
out-of-school and in-school persons
have now been removed and all
courses are now offered to urban as
well as rural persons.
Twenty-Five courses are being Of
fered in which the farmer is inter.
ested, and they run all the way from
the operation, care and repair of
tractors, trucks and automobiles to
soil and water conservation. And
besides the various handiworks In
the mechanical line around the farm
such as machinery repair. wood
working. elementary electricity and
construction Of farm machinery and
equipment. there are special courses
in milk production, poultry produc-
ton, eggs, pork. beef. mutton. lamb,
wool. soybeans, peanuts and various
commercial vegetable production.
There is general training for farm
workers. production Of fruit and
nuts. vegetable gardening and pref
ty nearly everything that one has to
know how to do around farm.
These courses are conducted
through the cooperation of the pub
lie schools and are responsible to
the state board for vocational edu-
cation.
William T. Spanton, chief of the
division for vocational agriculture,
says he believes that on dollar-for-
dollar basis, no appropriations made
by congress to stimulate increased
food production have contributed
more to this end than has been true

programs.

last moment. AS to the possibility
of revolution before desperation
seizes the Germans. that is slight.
1t is probable that the Germans
might oust the Nazis now If they
dared; but it is doubtful If anything
short of the sheer desperation fol-
lowing defeat will turn them against
the guns Of the black shirts.
A Swiss who returned from Berlin
just before the day and night bomb
ing Of Germany began, said:
There can be no thought of revo-
luton. The Gestapo and the SIS
are too powerful"
He recited this incident:
IAN italian worker who was pass
ing through the Friederichstrass
was just about to pick UP latter the
bombing of cigarette factory one
of the many boxes of cigarettes ly-
ing around on the ground. Nearby
was young SIS man armed with an
automatic pistol without any
previous warning, he took aim and
shot the Italian down."
This is said to be a typical Incl.
dent and the Swiss declared that a
German woman who drops her pock-
etbook does not dare to stoop over
and pick it up.
The Military Aspects
The military aspects are o very
different matter. The great strength
Of German strategy built on ''in.
terror lines" has been turned to a
weakness. A nation on the offensive
which can strike overpowering blows
at any point it chooses along the
perimeter of the territory It con.
trolls has great advantage.
Its lines are short. they are pro-
tected. they move from the center
outward like the radii of a circle.
The opposing power must laborious-
ly follow the circumference-witness
the supply lines from the Allies to
Russia which have to sweep around
all of Europe to Murmansk or all
around Africa to the Middle East.
But interior lines become a weak
ness when a nation goes on the de-
fensive. AS a matter of fact. Gen.
eral Won Clausewitz. who wrote one
of the most authoritative books on
strategy, said:
When you have to 60 on the de-
fensive, it is too late to 60 on the
defensive"
When you do so. interior lines
make 1t all the worse.
Veritas comments on the position
Of the enemy in the present situa-
tion as follows:
". the fact that he is inside
circumference which he must main
tain is a deadly disadvantage be-
cause he is pinned down at every
point on the circle, whereas his op-
Nonents are to exploit their Ia
