500 Planes Cross Atlantic
From New York In Month
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The Army
says that in one month recently
more than 500 trans Atlantic
flights were made by huge passen-
ger and cargo planes to the United
Kingdom and North Africa from
LaGuardia Airport.
The disclosure was made yester-
day by Maj. Gen. Harold L. George,
commanding general of the Army Air
Transport Command, in announ-
cling appointment of 1t. Col. Hugh
R. Gilchrist of Clinton, Okla, as
commander at the field.
Four-engined C-54 land planes,
he said, carried 1000 passengers
and 2,500,000 pounds of cargo dur
ing the period, flying in all types of
weather, thus making the North
Atlantic route the most direct all
year course to Europe.
Successful flights were achieved,
Col. Lawrence G. Fritz, ATC North
Atlantic Wing commander, said,
"by joint celestial and navigational
radio aids along with improved
long-range weather forecasting."
Trans Atlantic bases include
Presque Isle, Me-; Goosebay, Labra-
dor; Newfoundland, Bafin Island,

sells formerly were painted battle
gray with light gray upperments.

battleships now are painted black
@. What country is the Oldest

A. This honor is claimed for Ice
land, whose Parliament, the oldest

@. Does the President pay for the
entertainment of guests at the
White House?-F. K. A.
A. The President pays for un-
official entertainment. When both
political parties are represented at a
function 1t is considered official and
is paid for out of a Government
fund.
@. What Is the derivation OF the
name Jesus?-E. L. II.
A. Jesus is the Latin form of the
Greek Iesous of which the Hebrew
version is Joshua or Joshua. The
name means Jehovah is my saliva
ton"
@. What locality is inhabited ex-
clusively by males?-G. A. F.
A. Mount Athos in Greece has the

A. eff the American people want
me for this high Office, I shall be

Since studying this subject, I am
convinced that the office of Presi-
dent is not such a very difficult one
to fill"
@. How long will the iron last in
the Mesabi Range?-I. E. H.
A. At present war production
rates, the reserves of direct shipping
ore of the Mesabi Range will prob
ably be exhausted in less than 10l
years. However, in the eastern
Mesabi Range there are large re-
serves of 20-30 per cent magnetic
ore that readily can be concen-
trated.

of such lies increases all the time.
New ones crop up every few days.
Why cannot the owl do some
thing real about these lies? Why
would it not be practical to list
them in a small booklet and refute
them in an official and authorita-
tive way? What is the owl waiting
for? They are in the mouths of
thousands of persons all over the
country. Some Congressman have
helped spread them. Many of them
are believed. A good deal of harm
is being done.
In the past, the Owls product

Mcclellan Praises
|Lease-Le , but Says
Full Report Is Wanted
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Handling of the lease-lend pro-
gram, on the whole, has been a very
excellent job, Chairman McKellar OF
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee said yesterday on the basis OF
preliminary reports of committee in
vestigators.
The Tennessee Senator's comment
came after criticism voiced in the
House by Representative Bradley
Republican, of Michigan, who said
he had reports that some Americans
in Mexico are getting rich, escaping
United States taxes and living in
luxury on fees collected 'in exchange
for political influence used in OBJ
tanning lease-lend funds"
Says Bathtubs Available.
Mr.. Bradley also complained that
some items, such as enameled cast
iron bathtubs, are readily available
through lease-lend in Mexico, but
are limited in distribution in this
country.
The Senate, meantime, is holding
in allegiance floor consideration of
renewal of the lease-lend program
Evening star., 1944-05-01

But that was not the way we
operated. On the contrary, for a
long time there appeared a fixed
determination to find some new way
of doing things. One has only
to recall the 18 months delay in
coming to the single-headed War
Production Board and the whole
year in which the President and
his price administrator insisted that
living costs could be held down with
out either wage or food-price con-
troll, to know that time of meal
culable value has been wasted and
our war effort unnecessarily i'm
peded.
This strange refusal to mold it
self upon the parts of the Wilson
war machine recognized as sound,
causes a natural hesitancy to sug-
gest that the Owl Certainly one
of the least successful of the exist
ing agencies) now adopt a plan
which the Committee on Public In
formation, of which Mr.. George
Creel was director, and the Secre-
taries of State, War and Navy were
the other members, found extremely
efficacious 26 years ago.
Then, as now, the country was
flooded with lies by the enemy
propagandists. Then, as now, these
were creating distrust of our Allies
and apprehension among the fani-
lies of our soldiers.
To meet this situation, the Com
mittee on Public Information COM
piled and published a small PAM
phlet entitled "The Kaiserite in
America" In it were listed lone
Hundred and One German Lies"
with a brief answer to each. Most
of these lies were small and
absurd but some were plausible and
important. All of them, big and
little, were designed to disrupt
national unity and weaken the will
of the people for successful prose-
cution of the war While generally
circulated, "The Kaiserite in Amer
lea" was published especially for
commercial travellers and was put
in the hands of many thousands of
these with the request that when
ever and wherever they heard one
Of these lies they produce the book
and provide the answer.
The compilation and presenta-
ton were we'll executed and the
pamphlet turned out to be one of
the most effective things done by
the committee. 1t may be that the
owl las some literature along SIM
ilay lines, though, if so, it would
seem that it could not have escaped
general notice.
Field Open for 1t.
But If Owl has not thought of
this method to scotch the lies of the
enemy circulated in America, fine
field is open for it. Last week, as
was pointed out in this place, Mr..
Lee Crowley, testifying before a |
House committee, presented a list
of some of the lies concerning our
British and Russian allies, and cate
gorically denied each one Some of
these were trivial but a number of
them were important.
Mr.. Crowley's charge was that
they emanated from German and
Japanese sources. The list he gave
was only a partial list. The number

Shadows in a Market Place
(NeW York Timesl

tNew York Times
 Three Germans and Russian dangling from gal lows in the market square at Kharkov have the grim distinction to be the first persons publicly convicted and executed as war criminals Fifty thousand people looked on and motion picture recorded the for millions of other spectators and persons for posterity. Maybe shiver will run through the ranks of the Nazs and the Quisings when the facts are known. Maybe there will be members of the Gestapo in Poland and elsewhere, whose hard shell of inhuman toughness will crack little.
 We hardly judge the Russian trials at this distance with their procedure so different from the Anglo-Saxcn variety and their almost eager con- sions. They do not solve the problem which all the have promised in the Moscow Declaration to send a numerous category of men charged with war crimes back to the countries and communities where their offenses committed Such men will then pass from general to a specific jurisdiction We will want to be sure for practical well moral reasons that the procedure against them is regular, that convincing and reliable evidence is produced, and that they have a chance to speak in their own defense.
 To take these precautions is not in the least to
 minimize the enormity of the crimes the Nazis have committed all occupied Europe. It is simply 70 be sure that we get the real criminals. The execu- tion of any whose guilt not clearly established would make that man martyr. It may be difficult to imagine any large section of the German people possessing a sense of justice Yet i'll the end they, too must to that the killing of host ages the murders, slow swift committed in intern ment camps the horrors of the letha chamber the almost inconcevable savagery which not only wiped out the innocent people of Ludice but boasted of it. not merely crimes against all humanity-even German humanity. They will see this sooner and with better effect the of the world if every offender from private to general from sinking spy arrogant Cestapo official, has his day in court.
 As for the supreme offenders whose cases are reserved for special treatment the exact form of fri al is less concealed their vileness-, indeed they have made secular religion of it. In their blind and stupid arrogance they have been confessng every day for the past decade
