LONDON, Sept. 11.-Dr. Karl
Friedrich Goerdeler, former Leipzig
Mayor described as ringleader in
the abortive July 20 plot to kill
Adolf Hitler. has been sentenced to
death along with six other poll
ticians," Berlin radio disclosed
today.
A number of alleged conspirators,
including high army officers, already
have been killed The 60-year- -old
Goerdeler had been designated by
the plotters to become chancellor of
a new German government which
would have sought peace, the broad
cast said.
The six convicted with DR.. Goer-
deler were named as Ulrich Won
Hassell, former German Ambassa-
dor to Rome; Count Wolf Hendrick
Won Helldorf, former police chief in
Berlin; Trott Zu Solz, former sec
retary in the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs; Paul Lejeune-Jung, a for
mer deputy; Wilhelm Leuschner
former Hessian minister of the in
terror, and Josef Wirmer, an at
torney.
DR.. Goerdeler, former German
minister of economics, worked out
the plans of treason and it was he
who formed the bridge between the
militarist traitors and political con-
Spirators, the German news agency
Transocean said.
DR. Goerdeler was captured after
a price of million marks (about
s400 ,0G0) had been placed on his
head.
The conspirators intended imme-
diately after the assassination to set
up dictatorship which would have
Immediately capitulated to the en-

American Units Reach
Gothic Line Defenses
North Of Florence

ROME, Sept. 11.-Taking adj
vantage Of the enemy's preoccu-
patton with large-scale, bloody
fighting on the Adriatic coast
south Of Rimini, United States
5th Army forces followed up a
German withdrawal north and
northwest of Florence and
reached the Gothic Line de-
fenses, Allied headquarters dis
closed today.
Some 5th Army units, head
quarters said reached Usella, II
miles northwest of Florence and
only IS miles south of the great Pc
Valley industrial city and communi-
cations center of Bologna.
Farther west American troops
pushed well into the outskirts Of
Pistoria and occupied high ground
dominating the town from the
northeast, while elements of the
92d Infantry Division reached the
Gothic Line defenseS at ZeZzera,
6i2 miles northeast of Lucca.
Opposition Is Scant.
Presumably content to wait until
they get back into the Northern
Apennines, where the terrain is
ideal for defense, the Nazis offered
scant opposition to the 5th Army,
although some enemy shells fell on
patrols which took Monte Mignano,
13 miles due north of Florence.
Sitter resistance was met near
1taly's west coast where the Ameri-
cans made more crossings of the
Serchio River and Vecchiano, 5
miles north of Pisa, was occupied
The river crossings brought the
Doughboys into extensive mine
fields and mortar fire. The enemy
air force also was active in that
area, dropping a number of bombs
Saturday night
Fierce German resistance held
the 9th Army offensive against
Rimini and the avenue into the
Po Valley to Standstill.
Casualties Heavy.
On the Smile front between Cori-
ano and Gemmano, short distance
inland from the coast, the fighting is
still heavy and bitter, with casual
ties on both sides heavy" a head
quarters statement said
Marshal Albert Kesselring was
still striking back with frequent
counterattackS, but failed to knock
the British or Dominion forces off
any of the ground won at so great a
cost in recent weeks.
South of Gemmano the British
drove the Nazis from a 6O0-foot
peak, and Indian troops captured
other high ground 1000 yards north
of Piano di Castillo.

CIGARETTE SHORTAGE
NO LONGER A JOKE

AS we mentioned previously, the van
ished cigarette has become a matter OF
political importance-even a question OF
military necessity with men on the battle
fronts being affected and war workers
laying off to hunt through the stores for
something to smoke.
1t is all very we'll to say, "Let them
stop smoking as it is bad habit anyhow" "
But realities must be faced. Soldier and
war worker morale is being injured, and
hence our military strength.
Hence, also, it is no longer any joke but
rather a field for the FBI which might,
for once, try its hand on some top flight
fifth columnist, even if the American
Tobacco Company is involved.
For it is increasingly apparent that the
"shortage" is due to no ordinary cause,
1t is proven that there is no shortage OF
either tobacco or cigarette paper, and the
trade union which operates in the ciga-
rette factories declares there is no short
age Of labor, either
In such case, there might well be con
spiracy, whether solely aimed at produc-
ing such a cigarette famine that the COM
plant OPA will agree to higher prices, a
profiteering conspiracy. Or there might
also be an agent of the enemy involved
One does not exclude either, for in either
case there is disloyalty at work.
There should be no compromise with
either of such forces. The OPA should
issue a statement refusing to raise the
price of cigarettes as a result Of such sedi-
tion, and federal agencies should track
down and crack down OH the criminals re-
sponsible.
If we had an Attorney General who was
interested in Furnishing internal enemies,
this move would have already been made.

FUTURE NOT BRIGHT
FOR BUTTE

There is nothing constructive IN finding
fault nor in criticizing someone else's eff
forts who are really sincere, but the article
in one of the daily papers, Wednesday,
concerning the future of Butte was tragic
and many cynical smiles were leveled at
the obvious insincerity Of the whole
thing. There have been substantial ru-
mors for many months that the ACM in
tends to start open-pit mining in this dis
trict. It is generally known that the
membership of the Miners Union is at
one of its lowest points in years. The
empty store buildings in every business
block in the streets of Butte attests to its
downward trend, and the half-tomdown
buildings and shattered panes and squalld
conditions make one feel sad.
The fantastic part Of the article hereto
fore referred to was a quotation from
prominent businessman in which it was
alleged he said that it took n years to
build Butte.
Well. of course, Rome wasn't built in
day. but at the rate Butte is growing, III
II YEARS more it will be another Babylon.
There are many beautiful homes in Butte
and hundreds of frugal, worthwhile, law
abiding families who love this town and
want to stay here, but they know and we
all know that while the ACM dominates

Perhaps Senator Wheeler's recent cir
eular entitled world Police Force was
not widely read. AS public utterances
go, 1t may not seem significant. Actual
iy. it is important. It deserves nothing |
less than careful reading. Consider this
sentence from the fourth paragraph, for
example
"The causes Of war lie deep in human
nature and cannot be eradicated by any
project or piece Of machinery without
such transformation Of human nature
that it would be human no longer"
NOW let's read that sentence again.
What is its real meaning? I have been
able to gain but one legitimate inter
probation OF it, namely:
The causes of war lie so deeply in
human nature that war therefore can
be called a condition natural to man,
from which he cannot free himself while
still retaining his humanity
Presumably, Sen wheelers verdict is
that the struggle for world order should
be dismissed by human beings every
where as a pursuit not within the
bounds of their reason and capacity as
human beings.
1t is indeed, tragic judgement that
Sen. Wheeler has proclaimed, allowing
only of increasingly destructive, perhaps
totally destructive wars in the future.
What Mr. Wheeler has done, figura-
lively, has been to stamp his foot with
the sincere and emphatic refusal Of g
young rebel, at the prospect Of moving
into an era that challenges the very best
we have to offer. This same negativitl
toward the future pervades his entire Of
fering.
Taking as a point of departure Mr.
Wheeler's unsound premise that tht
causes OF war are of such a character
that remedial action on human leye
is not attainable, it is not difficult to SET
how an equally unsound opposition tt
international cooperation within th'
framework of government, normally
eventuates
Consequently, organized internationa
cooperation will be held to be a risk anC
a sacrifice instead of protection anC
an investment in real security. It vii
be held with suspicion in respect to oui
national welfare, rather than as the onl.
real working basis for progress in an ef
fort to intelligently meet the problem
of one world, problems which oecomi
larger as the world becomes smaller. Th
solution of these problems is and can b
the fit Jurisdiction only Of world govern
ment, and the welfare of our nation
in direct relation to its success.
This is old stuff of course. At tn
same time, when statements like those o
Mr.. Wheeler, calling for a retreat int
the past and completely lacking tn
necessary vision for making the most G
the future, receive wide circulation, on
is moved to wonder how much real pro
gress has been made.
