TODAY and TOMORROW
By WALTER LIPPMANN

As we draw nearer the grand
climax Of the European war, the
remaining neutrals and the Axis
satellites face very grave decisions.
Leaving out Switzerland, which by
its geography and its history is
unique, the European neutrals are
Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Turkey
and Fire. All of these lie within
the orbit of British-American sea
power, and Allied dealings with
them are in the main shaped by
agreement between London and
Washington.
The Axis satellites are Romania,
Bulgaria, Hungary and, though
it's juridical position is not iden-
teal with theirs, Finland is, as
a matter of fact, playing the part
of an Axis satellite. All of them
are within the military orbit of the
Soviet Army, and in the formation
of policy the controlling influence
is in Moscow.
Both neutrals and satellites are
under growing pressure to align
themselves against Germany. Our
immediate object is, of course, to
shorten the war by tightening the
blockade as respects the neutrals
and by disorganizing the German
defense In the satellites. Their i'm
mediate object, each in it's own
way, is to avoid the risks and con-
sequences of changing their posi-
ton before the military decision
has been reached.
las between ourselves and Ger
many, there is this radical differ
ence and they know it. Germany
will stop at nothing. Until we are
in a position to stop Germany from
stopping at nothing, they judge it
safer to wait and see. In the satel-
lite countries, and in a false neu-
trail like Fanco's Spain, the gov
eminent in power knows that it
can have little hope of surviving
an Allied victory. Once the Nazi
system 1allS, all the little MuSsO-
linis will fall with it.
The immediate issues with all
these countries will soon be swept
into the maelstorm of the great
battle for Europe. When that bat
tie develops, it will not be one
clearly defined military engage
ment on a few sharply defined
fronts. It will be a multiple en-
velopment and a complex penetre-
ton which will churn up the whole
Continent.
Out of this will come not only
victory and liberation, but also
the real national and popular
alignments which will fix the order
of things in Europe. How deep will
be the confusion, how prolonged

t-ane, assistant to the state com.
mission of agriculture, told XII
wants members here tonight North
Cardinals food output this year
should be 80 to 40 per cent above

it was 80 per cent above the

the fact that around 1000 cars

Army every hour, our total civil

greater than it was before the

more relief than anything I ever
used. I am relieved of the gassy
bloating, headaches, achy slug

same gratifying benefits. It is the
best medicine we ever had in
our home"

DECLARES POW DIN GAVE
HAPPY RELIEF TN HER CASE
IT Don't Believe Anyone Ever Had
Worse Headaches, Felt More
Sluggish, Achy Or Worthless
Than I Did," Declares Mrs.
Wayne. Tells of Welcome Relief
Through POw-O-lin.

The story Of happy relief from
harassing distress is told by thou

women until the good news has
spread throughout all Carolina.
For instance, Mrs. L. G. Wayne,
well known resident of Route l,
Chocowinity, near Washington, N.
c., declares:
From morning to night, I suf-
fered from gassy pressure, bloat-
ing and belching. My head ached
as if being pounded and I felt so
nervous I couldn't get needed
sleep or rest. I was almost afraid
to eat and felt undernourished and
weak. Sometimes the gas pressure
made me feel I couldn't get my
breath. The toxic wastes of con-
stipation made me feel achy, slug
fish and worthless, hardly able to
do my homework. I was forced
to take harsh, upsetting laxatives
that sickened and weakened me.
No matter what tried or how
much money I spent for medicines

dered what would become of me.

CITATION FOR
 LIEUT.. DHERON
Waterbury Officer in BeI- gium One of Four Given
 Bronze Star

With The 5th Armored Division in Belgium-Working in blackout in the rain under the constant threat of enemy attack, an officer and four enlisted men remained behind a fast-moving armored column to replace the motor in 8 disabled tank and get it back into action during the fighting in France.
 For this ''meritorious service" the Bronze Star has been awarded to First Lieutenant Louis J. Dheron, whose wife is Mrs. Louis J. Dheron, 35 Williams Street, Waterbury, Connecticut; Corporal Randolph B. Woolridge, son of John M. Wool ridge, Springdale, West Virginia, and three Cleveland, Ohio, men: Sergeant John Kanchuk, son of Mrs. Anna Kanchuk, 2945 West 158th street; Sergeant Gene J. Kwiatek, son of MT. and Mrs. John Kwiatek, 3315 Devonshire Road, and Corporal Herman Luther, husband of Mrs. Jean Luther, 5513 Arch mere avenue.
 All are members of a field artil- lery battalion attached to the 5th Armored Division. Award of the medals was made by Major Gen eral Lunsford E. Oliver, the division commander.
 The battalion was providing ar- tillery support for an armored col- umn experimenting the drive through northern France August 27 when one of it's tanks was disabled. Real izing that every vehicle with fire power was important to the success of the mission, the five volunteered to stay behind to put the tank back into action.
 Many of the enemy, by-passed by the rapidly moving armored col umn, were still in the area, yet the five, armed only with carbines and sub-machine guns, went to work in the darkness. They completed the task, and the tank was able to re- join the column and continue the fight.

ment of 100000 workers for urgent war production the need for half of them was very critical. While they were not needed every place Ia every industry, they were most urg- entIy needed in specific localities
 MT McNutt mentioned specifical- ly seven production lines which present critical manpower prob ienls. These include the foundries and forge shops, Ship-building, heavy artillery ammunition, radar, cottcn-duck and tent-twill, heavy fieId artillery and gun carriages and dry-cell batteries.
 A large amuont of these materi- als, he said, are produced in Con- necticut directly or indirectly and Connecticut is one of the states which must furnish the equipment for the armed forces. MT. McNutt informed MT. Fitzgerald that "the basic recruiting difficulties arise largely from the fact that most of the places where they are needed are in already very tight manpoWer areas, therefore fewer workers are available"
 Contacted today union officials said they had no statement to make tat this time" relative to the controversy. However, it was im- piled that they might possibly enter the controversy along specific lines.

Low Wage Controversy Misunderstanding
Waterbury Industrial Executives Took Exception to Statements Credited to WING Director Paul McNutt
TNREE-

Misunderstanding" of statements of War Manpower Commission Di- rector Paul V. McNutt was accredit- ed to local sources today by the Wa teTbury Manpower officials. Claims of misunderstanding stemmed from the disagreements expressed by of- ficials of the three leading brass firms here that McNutt's chrag- es that relatively low-paying jobs in this area hindered the critical manpower situation here, were 'un- true".
 Local manpower officials today declared to The Democrat that no one questioned the satisfactory wage scale" in operation at the leading thre leading brass firms here, but difficulty was experi- in filling specific type jobs of "hot, heavy and hard" calibre because of the low-wage scale in other plants
 Local officials of the three lead ing brass firms had contested Me- Nuts statement, the latetr issued through state director William J Fitzgerald, that low wages hindered the hiring program here.
 In effect McNutt's only reference to wages in the statement was quot ed as follows: "The jobs to be filled are often difficult and some of them are relatively low-paying jobs. This very difficulyt places a special responsibility on all of us to seek out work in this most cri- tical production"
 Lack of uniform rates here" was given as one reason in experiencing the difficulty in filling manpower needs it was declared today by local manpower officials.
