(See Pictorial Review

There's an island out in the
southwest Pacific which today is
the rooSt of the B-29s.
From this island those big
babies now wing their way TO
blast the heart of Tokyo.
The name of that island Is
Saipan.
Saipan is a different place now
than il was the middle of last
June when the marines invaded.
It's a different place now be-
cause it cost $4,000 American cas-
ualties and 26 days to win the
base.
DEEP WOUNDS
Sgt. Michael Witowich, 25, of
5221 Military, who served for two
years with the assault troops of
the Second Marine Division, was
in that invasion.
Sgt. Witowich Is home now,
outwardly bearing the scars which
won two Purple Hearts for him.
but inside there are wounds that
will never heal.
You've seen that bond poster
with the marine kneeling and
praying beside the blanket COW
cred stretcher.
That's Mike there. Under the
blanket is his buddy, the fellow
he went through training with,
and the battles Of the Solomons,
Gilberts, Marshalls, Tarawa and
Tinian.
Buddy never knew what hit
him. Mike said.
LONG ROAD AHEAD
I'VE don't mind dying. We
don't care mt all, but we would
like to know what some people
are thinking about. When
landed In San Francisco, you'd
think the war was almost over.
It's the same here.
Let me tell you there's n
long road ahead. I've fought
those slant eyed devils too long
not to know.
"And it'll take bonds, bonds,
bonds and then more bonds to
do IL. We're going TO need more
equipment, moro ammunition,
more everything, and the only
way we're going to get it all Is
by all of us buying all the
bonds we can.
"As i said before, we don't
mind dying one bit. Can't you
buy bOnds?"
FOE is DESPERATE
Let Mike tell you what your
enemy is like.
I'VE got a copy of the speech
made by the commanding Jap
general on Saipan To his troops
as we moved In. This In part Of
it. We UW nsUer suffer the
disgrace of being taken aiiUs by
the American devils, for IN
death there 10 life. We must
ututxe rms opportunity TO sAott
true Japanese manhood
do you think an enemy like
that will give up in a hurry?"
How different are those words
from the pre-invasion talk given
by the marine battalion COM
mander.
This is what he said, in part:
at IL for those who are miss
ing from our ranks that we are
determined to fight on the
beaches Of Saipan.
IL was born an American,
am an American, I shall die An
American. 1 shall perform the
duties incumbent upon me to
the end of my career. shall do
this with absolute disregard of
personal consequences. No man
can suffer too much, no man
can fall too soon, IL he suffers
or IL he falls I'm the defense OF
his country. See you on the
beach, men, God bless you, and
get In there and fight"
Let's all stick with them to the
finish. by buying all the bonds we
can during the Sixth War Loan.

Washington Bell Ringers

Vice President Wallace is going to
China as a representative of the PreSi-
dent, presumably to assure Chang Kali
shek that there will be plenty of aid from
the American government, all the way
from Lend-LeaSe to active military, naval
and air support. OF course Madame
Chang took all that information back
home long time ago.
If there is any political significance in
Wallace's forthcoming trip it is pretty
hard to put finger on it. Why? Be-
cause Wallace is a misfit in administra-
ton affairs He is more New DealiSh now
than ever, just at time when the Presi-
dent has huShed down on the New Deal
because it involved so many questions
that are in cold storage "for the dura-
ton"
Secretary of the Interior Ickes pulls
another fast trick that seems to be more
stupid than his outburst in March IN
favor of building pipelines through Iran
to port on the Mediterranean - places
that few people know about till they be-
gan to keep up with the war news. 1ckeS'
latest brainstorm is oturn over govern
ment war production plants to returning
soldiers to run in their own way He and
some other dreamers in the adminlStra-
ton have been accusing the business ana
industrial interests in the country with
trying to sew up monopoliStic control OF
everything possible. But, somehow, the
old Curmudgeon doesn't ring the bell as
he used to.

Brave New Book

Eric Johnston, president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, is a brave
man who has written brave book called
America Unlimited" His courage lies
in the fact that he has dared to be "aver-
age" and unoriginal without fact that he
has dared to be average" and unoriginal
without apology Mr.. Johnston con-
feSseS that his book is the outgrowth of
hundreds of conversations with all corts
of Americans in the last few years. He
has dared to put down his distillation of
these average thoughts of an average
man in defiance of the jibes and anger
which it is bound to draw from the far
right and left of public opinion. One
does not often find writer on present.
day economics viii will admit to being an
optimist; who will plead guilty of being
Klwanian, sharing all the sins of eX-
trovert fellowship, self-improve-
ment, and community spirit which the
So-called intellectuals love to lampoon";
who will speak of private enterprise and
initiative and capitalism without quote
marks, without sneers or smugness.
Mr.. Johnston does all these things and
more. He even dares to defend the Hor-
alto Alger sagas of little tykes who grow
into big tycoons." He finds them to be
symbolically, if not literally, true And
he feels that they are deeply American
"as near as anything we have to body
of folklore" He surveys unblushingly
and with pride the boy who Travelled the
road from log cabin to White House. He
happily notes that the American boasts
of being "self-made," where the Euro
pean boasts of his forebears. In both he
finds proof that Americans have not yet
become accustomed to looking upon
poverty as an insuperable, or even serious,
obstacle"
Now, that is not a fashionable way of
thinking or of writing. But unquestion-
ably it happens to crystalline the think
ing of millions of ndependent-minded,
moderate-income, small-town Cor city,
farmers and workers adm business men
people who are reasonably inarticulate
and not given to writing books, but who
WELD influence and decide elections and
come to mind when someone speaks OF
the backbone of America" They are
people at once progressive (since they do
not think this country perfect or bristle
at recent social and economic reforms)
and conservative (since they do not feel
that improvement demands a complete
scrapping of the American way of doing
things.
To these people we commend Mr.. john
ston's book, as we commend Mr.. john
Ston for having digested their best think
ing so clearly and persuasively.

Dated Strategy

Latest antic of James Caesar Petrillo,
head of the American Federation of Mu-
sicians, has been to call strike of 10
musicians in Chicago radio station be-
cause the station would not hire more
musicians. The station said Mr. Petrillo
insisted that it hire 10 more men; Mr..
Petrillo said it was only three. But he
did not deny the stations assertion that
it did not have enough work for the 10
striking men, who earned from $75 to
sos week for Is hours work, or that
the supplementary musicians" were to
be hired as pancake turner's" men
who put on and take off the transcription
records played on monographs
We don't blame A. F. of L. President
William Green for publicly deploring the
walkout as breach of the no-strike
pledge by the A. F. of L., of which the
"a. F. of M is a part. But Mr. Petrillo has
done more than break the no-strike
agreement. He has committed an I'M
patriotic act in period demanding great
effort by all available manpower by con-
tinuing his traditional, and now wasteful
and nonsensical, made-work policy.

Undermining Postwar Jobs

A substantial part of the telephone
service of the United States is furnished
by thousands of small independent tele-
phone companies. The rates which the
public pays are established by public reg
ulatory authorities. Telephone COM
panies must live within those rates.
Under the pressure of war-inflated costs
and taxes, the struggle to keep alive has
grown increasingly tough.
Efficient telephone service is so COM
nnonplace that it is difficult to contem-
plate the confusion that would result in
a nation of three million square miles, if
telephone communication fell meaSur-
ably below present standards. And yet
the telephone industry cannot be expect
ed to do the impossible. It is in the posi-
ton Of other service industries, such as

Who's Running Now?

Inasmuch as President Roosevelt and
Governor Dewey are showing up as the
outstanding favorites of the Democratic
and Republican parties, the nomination
of the two men seems almost certain.
There is considerable doubt being ex-
pressed in Washington as to whether the
President will allow his name to be pre-
sented to the Chicago convention as
candidate this fall. On the other hand, no
one seems to doubt but what Governor
Dewey will accept a draft.
The use of General McArthur's name IS
apparently unauthorized A few other
candidates, including Governor Bricker
of Ohio and Ex-Governor Stassen of Min
nesota, will receive the support of their
States at the coming convention. In case
of a deadlock some one of these black
horse candidates may win out Maybe

AS A MATTER OF FACT

The result of the first newly formed
Automobile Advisory Committee indl-
Gates possible resumption on small scale
of passenger automobile production after
the collapse of one or the other of the Axis
powers Undoubtedly the number of cars
will be restricted, but the new plan sug-
gestS that it is "a reasonable assumption"
that the automobile industry will be asked
to lead the caravan and do whatever is
possible in the way of insuring against
wholesale unemployment such as existed
after the first World War.

Views OF The Press

the ships and their cargoes have
been lost but also many lives.
Testifying in Washington last
month, General Manager E. r. Kali
ser of the Oregon Shipbuilding Cor
poration said that the WEAKNESSES in
design which accounted for the ear
ly failures have been eliminated.
After this latest disaster, Congress-
man Magnuson, member of the
House Naval Affairs Committee,
said that Liberty Ships do not work
in Alaska waters. Neither of these
statements is enlightening to the
public. The public wants to know
what companies built the ships that
have sunk, whether the causes of
failure were in the materials used,
the technics employed, the speed of
construction, or in the subsequent
loading and handling. The indus
trial front is no more entitled to
conceal its mistakes than the mill
tary front.

MIR. BARUCH'S GIFT
New York Times)


The first far-reaching plan for re-
Mobilization of the casualties of war
and industry comes from Bernard
Baruch. Impressed yb the POSSIBLE
tiles Of physical medicine (the treat
ment of disease and injuries by light
water, massage and mechanical and
electrical means), he will distribute
81 100000 among various inStitu-
tons which are to train phySiother-
apists and to engage in research. A
branch of medicine which has hith-
erto been largely empirical in its
procedures is thus to be elevated to
the level of a more exact discipline
and to broaden its influence.
The need of this effort has long
been obvious. Mr.. Baruch's father,
the late DR.. Simon Baruch, was a
hydrotherapist of distinction. who
did much to blaze the trail by in
Producing into general practice
methods which had been followed
at European spas for centuries. The
field has been vastly extended with
Che discovery of the therapeutic
properties of ultra-v violet, infra-red
and x-rays, the introduction of
various types Of current, diathermy,
and short-wave therapy, and the in
vention of mechanical exercising
and amssaging machines.
What medicine needs is an eval-
uation of techniques and systematic
research to disclose new possibilities.
All this and more is provided for in
the comprehensive plan formulated
by a committee Of scientists who
conducted survey on behalf of Mr..
Baruch-the more consisting largely
in the training Of competent men
and women in the use Of approval
methods. The last war did much for
orthopedic surgery. Mr.. Baruch's
geerous gift should do as much for
physical medicine.

One of the big private activities in Wash
ington surrounds the local Victory gar
dens. The Secretary of Agriculture has
made a statement showing that Victory
gardens contributed forty per cent OF
the fresh vegetables grown last year, and
he has made plea for more gardens. This
is due to the fact that recent survey
indicated a ten per cent drop under last
year. Don't give up the Victory gardens

only a small part Of the population.
but the grim universally of abso-
lutte blackness after nightfall for all
households, as well as public places,
Is as Sternly required as when war
began. The severity of this compul-
sorry darkness may be gathered from
pamphlet just issued by the Bri-
fish Bureau of Information. 1t notes
that since Sept. !, 1899, total
blackout has been In force. Windows
skylights, doors of all premises must
be masked so that on no occasion
can light be seen from outside. Res
taurants and other public places are
protected by double entrances,
forming a light lock. All street
lighting Is discontinued, except for
star lamps, which throw a small
beam of light downward. 1llurni-
nation of store windows and outdoor
advertisements in lights are prohib-
tied.
Life under these handicaps goes
on, however, with astonishing cheer
fitness. There Is complete conf
dence that when the PoFeES of
Darkness are routed the word will
be better place in which to live,
and that all the dangers and hard
ships that have preceded the return
of peace will have been well worth
waiting for.

had been called in to be lee

chance to express their views.
(Only one man, Eric Johnston,
president of the u. S. Chamber
of Commerce, managed to get in
a word in reply. However, the
one-sidedness of the meeting
probably was necessary, due to
the fact that such lareg group
was present.
About sixty representatives of
the U. S. Chamber, the National
Association of Manufacturers and
the American Association of Rail
way Executives were called into
the -the-record session, where
they found awaiting them the

Chief of Staff General Marshall,

The truth probably is that God
would regard us with much more
favor If we made 1t our established
policy to help the unworthy as well
as the worthy-in fact to go out OF
our way to help the former because
their need is great. If we help only
the worthy, the world would be-

merce pretty hard. Accusing the
Chamber of not even being willing
to consider a national service
act, he continued:
"YOu have struck hands with
labor and agriculture to oppose
one of the most important
measures necessary to win the
war"
Here President Johnston of the
U. S. Chamber interrupted:
II beg your pardon, Sena-
tor, but we have not struck
hands with labor and agricul-
ture. We have not been invit-
ed to any other meeting to dis
cusS this, and the only other
discussions we have had have
been on the advisory committee
Of the War Production Board,
where it has been deemed add
visable to try voluntary labor
methods, rather than compul-
SiOn."
Senator Austin expressed his
appreciation for this correction,
and the meeting proceeded. After
talks from General Marshall, Adj
miral King and Admiral Land, the
business executives were excused.
They left impressed with the
sincerity of the War and Navy
Departments views, but still con-
WINGED that voluntary methods
with labor were more effective.
AS one of them remarked later:
England has had a COM
pulsOry labor system, but it
didn't prevent the Liverpool
dock strike which tied I'D war
shipping or the British coal
strike"
