SIouene Newspapers Are Print
ed and Distributed Behind
Enena4 Lines

Washington - Slovene news
papermen of the Patriot forces
regularly print and distribute
$4,000 copies of. newspapers be-
hind the Nazi lines in occupied
|Slovene sectors of Jugoslavia,
BIC said recently in a dispatch
reported to OWL.
Quoting a report from it's
correspondent James Matthew,
who has just completed a seven
week trip through Patriot-held
areas! in Slovenia, the BBC
broadcast said that the four
main Slovene newspapers pro-
duced by the resistance forces
are circulated from 120 secret
distribution points throughout
Slovenia.
1T is incredible that these
serene king, beautifully
printed newspapers should be
produced at ALL" the CORES
pondent was quoted as saying
"And yet each of the four has
a circulation of $4,000 copies in
territory overrun by the Wehr-
macht.
"The editorial offices of the
Slovene Herald, which is the
official paper, are high in the
forests. The printing is done at
three main centers. Three cen
ters for printing must be main
tanned because it is impossible
to carry large numbers of news
papers over the Sava river or
the Graz:Trieste railroad. So a
courier slips over these highly
defended obstacles carrying
only the manuscript with him.
"The idea is," Matthew con-
cluded, "that no one who speaks
the Slovei,e language, even if
he lives within the old Austrian
border, shall lack the chance of
keeping contact with his own
people and their allies"

New Building Promises

To say that washington Cathe-
dral Is built of the skeletal remains
of hundreds of millions of fish may
seem to challenge the credulity of
the public, yet any geologist who
is familiar with the elemental ma
ture of Indiana limestone will
testify to the accuracy of the state
ment. For unnumbered centuries
men have been constructing
churches and houses of materials
which they themselves merely fabri-
Gated, did not create.
Now, however, new materials are
becoming available to architects
and engineers Bernard A. Savage,
commissioner of the New York City
Board OF Standards and Appeals,
nevertheless thinks it well to warn
against a tendency to expect too
much in the way of novelties.
Speaking recently at Rochester, he
said: "All new developments will
have to be adapted, tested and
proved with respect to the practical
considerations of function, appear
ance, integrity, performance, main
tenance and public acceptance"
There are "but few perfect ma
terialS" and Mr.. Savage (whose
speech, by the way, is reproduced
in the latest issue of the monthly
Journal of the American Institute
of ArchitectS) believes that "even
the most promising may develop
some kinks which only exhaustive
observation, research and testing
will disclose" He fatty denies that
"the wartime fever of invention"
will result in products fully con-
ditioned for a long-range peace
time use" The traditional pat
terms of Steel-skeleton, concrete
floor, prewar procedure, he insists,
will be retained, and opportunities
for the application of new tech
niques will be reserved for the
interior plumbing, lighting, sound
and heat insulation and air-condi-
tioning."
Mr.. Savage, admittedly conser-
vative in his views, pays compli-
ments to fiuorescent illumination,
electronic resistance welding, steri-
lamps in refrigerators, kinatron tube
painting, precipitron tube busting
and electric eye control with it's
countless applications" He praises
also plastic hardware, trim and dec
orative ornaments certain Clues

The Outlook for Rome

Although it will be wise to wait for
the event before accepting it as fact,
there are strong indications now
that Rome, the hallowed city that
belongs not to single nation, but
to all the peoples of the Western
World, will be spared the ravages of
battle.
Nazi propaganda, preparing the
German home front for continued
bad news from Italy, has suddenly
begun to proclaim that the historic
center of Christendom will not be
defended and that Kesselring's
forces will withdraw to line much
farther north" It is possible that
this may be trick of sorts, but the
evidence points to the contrary, for
our Fifth and Eighth Armies have
scored such smashing successes that
1t is becoming imperative for the
enemy to get out of the Rome area
with the utmost speed if he is to
avoid being cut to pieces, as in
Tunisia and Stalingrad.
That our military might has thus
made it more than likely that the
Germans will quit the Universal
City without fight has been sug-
gested for some days past, not least
of all by Prime Minister Churchill,
who only last Wednesday expressed
high hopes that it would escape the
hellf1re of war. There is good rea-
son, therefore, to expect that our
liberating forces will soon march
unopposed into Rome and that
Rome itself will escape the terrible
scars it would suffer If Kesselring's
power were not too bruised and bat
tered to try holding it.
From the purely military stand
point, this turn in Italian events is
important enough, but it is even
more important politically and SYM
bolically. 1t is bright prospect
a prospect in which every one will
rejoice who sees our armies as
armies Of light welding an aveng-.
ing sword against the forces of dark
ness who were once bent upon bias
pheming and destroying all the good
and holy things which Rome SO
beautifully represents.

Essential to the Peace

PRESIDENT RoOSevelt'S call for an
international monetary conference
follows logically upon the stabiliza-
ton agreement reached last month,
after years study, by the fiscal
experts of the United Nations and
associated powers.
This agreement covers a proposal
to create gold-based world fund
OF about eight billion dollars to sta
bilize currencies and facilitate the
flow of international trade and in
vestment. When it was first an
nounced, Secretary Morgenthau
hailed the project as "the keystone
Of all postwar economic planning"
and Secretary Hull declared that
something like it would be essential
if the United States and other ma
tions were to make an intelligent
beginning on the vast and enor-
mously complex task of building an
enduring peace.
The agreement, however, was
merely an agreement in principle,
without any binding force upon the
countries whose monetary experts
drew it up. Hence, the conference
summoned by the President may be
regarded as the essential second
step toward a definite program of
action. The sessions, to be held at
Breton Woods, NJ H., starting July
/, will probably last several weeks
and presumably will deal not only
with stabilization but With other
basic economic problems as we'll,
including the international financ-
ing of postwar reconstruction.
There is considerable disagree
ment among groups in this coun-
try and between this country and
others, over many of the details
and technical aspects of such pro-
posals as that covering world sta
bilization. All the differences in
this respect will undoubtedly be
amply aired and debated during the
forthcoming conference, but on one
point there will be no dispute in
informed quarters-namely that an
effective program of international
economic collaboration is absolutely
essential and that no sound peace
can be fashioned without one.
The Breton Woods conference
therefore promises to be one of the
most historic and significant since
the start Of the war. 1t will be linn
tied to delegations from the United
Nations and associated powers. but

Americans in Britoin

Recent comment in the House of
Commons on the behavior of
American troops in Britain - be-
havior which is described as good
on the whole-serves to remind us
that the British Isles are going
through an upheaval of sorts. In
deed, perhaps never before in his
tory has any nation of comparable
size had such an experience.
Exclusive of Fire. which houses
none OF our troops, these isles-the
United Kingdom-have an area of
some $1,000 square miles and
population of 100000. In normal
times the country is thus crowded
enough, but now, as the giant base
OF Allied power aimed at Western
Europe, it is virtually jammed to
the bursting, not merely with vast
quantities of war equipment but
also with a very large American
expeditionary force.
What this must mean to the Brit
1sh people, In purely social and hu-
man terms, can best be realized by
reversing the picture. Thus, let us
suppose that 100000 Americans
were crowded into an area roughly
the same size as the United King
dom. Let us suppose, for instance,
that there were that many of us in
the State of Colorado (1O3, 900
square miles, and that large army
of soldiers from Britain came
in to join us. It does not take much
imagination to figure out how such
an influx, In such limited amount
Of territory, would profoundly af-
feet our way OF life, economically
and socially.
The experience the British peo-
pie are now having is the experience
OF meeting and living in close quar-
ters with great army of highly
energetic and free-spending young
men who speak the same language
but who have come from a more
or less different world as customs
go. BY the same token our troops
are having a similarly unique ex-
perience, the overall effect of which
is bound to have a bearing on fu-
ture Anglo-American relations.
On the whole, judging from re-
ports, the situation has been very
well handled with Britons and
Americans alike getting along to-
gether in good spirit. All things con-
sidered, as will be appreciated by
any one who has had a houseful of
guests for long time, it is a fine
tribute to the hospitality and
friendliness of the British people,
one of the warm and human side
lights Of the war we'll worth remem-
bering.

ATC Anniversary

The Air Transport Command, a
mere infant among the branches
of our armed services, will be three
years old tomorrow, but it is doing
a man-Sized job in this war.
When it was first organized, the
ATC had staff of two officers and
clerk, occupying a single room.
But it is huge organization today,
with a personnel strength at the
end of l943 of $4,000 officers and
men, chain of routes and strategic
bases tanning out over some 10000
miles of the earth's surface and an
excellent worldwide system of COM
munications and meteorological sta
tions for assembling weather in
formation.
Unfortunately, for reasons of mill
tary security, much of the story of
the ATC cannot be told during the
war. But it has been revealed that
as OF the beginning of this year it
was flying upward of $4,000 900
miles a month in its ferrying opera
tions and another 100000 miles
or more in transport operations. The
largest of its nine wings-the India
China wing-schedules more flights
daily than La Guardia Field, New
York. Furthermore, ATC planes
from this wing, flying over the peril
Gus Himalayas, are hauling more
cargo tonnage into China each
month than the net tonnage trucked
over the Burma road during the
peak month of its operation.
Since its inception the command
has flown more than 100000, 900
miles, ferrying planes to our own
fighting fronts and to our Allies,
bringing out the wounded, rushing
critical supplies to threatened areas
and furnishing a round-the- world
transportation service for many
thousands of busy men, from presi-
dents on down.
Needless to say, it was tremen-
dous job, starting from scratch, to
build this organization and to as
semble the equipment and the men
and women to operate it. During
the first eleven months the ATC
(then known as the Ferrying Com
mand) was under the direction of
Major General Robert Olds. Since
April, 1912, its commanding officer
has been Major General Harold L.
George. Both of these men richly
merit the commentator: "Well
