Plaster Defenses

Flying over an 8OO-mile front, AL
lied bombers raped hard at Ger
man defenses and industries in west
ern Europe preparatory to the her
aided invasion.
But in Italy, bad weather restrict
ed Allied progress over the noun
famous terrain, and equally bitter
resistance in the future doomed with
the discovery that the Germans
were constructing another "Siegfried
line" of concrete and steel several
miles in depth, and just to the north
of their present positions.
Continuing the softening up proc
ess of western Europe, swarms of
U. S. and British bombers and fight
ers dashed at German factories, the
important naval base of Kiel, air
fields strung over northern, and the
channel coast, along which the Nazis
repeatedly have erected rocket guns.

rear in the big Dnieper river bend.
The Reds entered pre-war Poland

their claims that the White Russian

Ne,p, Analyst and Commentator,

there are many ramifcations which
are strictly under the party con-
trol-the Nazi transportation corps

nous "Todt' organization ("todt"
means death in German but in this
case it is mans name). This is a

the bombing, reconstruction organi-
cation, the boys who parade with
shovels instead of guns.
There are several others-the
Labor service, trained in camps
(something like the old CCC camps
in this country; then come the va
rious welfare, women's and youth
organizations.
This deep RECOMMENDATION (remem-
Der, one out of three in uniformly is
the Nazi way of creating a total
war that is total. When the German
armies are beaten, these organiza-
tons will still remain. They can
work on after defeat unless they are
uprooted.
A fuller realization of this prob
lem may make it easier for Ameri-
cans to understand why, after his
latest trip to Europe, the President
is in sober mien, why the high
army officials and the civilians who
know this problem intimately, hope
that civilian America will not wax
overconfident on the eve of military
victory.

AGRICULTURE:
Hogs Pour In

Shipment of 476,5OO hogs within a
3-day span recently in comparison
with 278,400 for the same period a
year ago, reflected crowded condi-
tons in u leading middlewestern
markets, with only choice 200 to
300 pound pigs attracting $13.75 per
hundredweight.
Many hogs were left unsold as
daily trading closed, and fearful that
animals might contract pneumonia
with snow and colder weather, some
packers urged farmers to curtail
shipments, while embargoes were
imposed at other centers.
Tight labor conditions restricted
packers capacities, and in Chicago,
at least 200 soldiers from the labor
pool of nearby camp were sent
into the packing houses to help out.

STRIKES:
Increase in '43

Almost IA million working days
were lost through strikes in 1943
compared with million in 1912,
records of the bureau of labor sta

Approximately 1887 ,O91 workers
we're involved in the estimated 3,737
walkouts, which topped the 1912 to-
tai of 839,961 men idle because of
1858 strikes.
Last years strikes doubled the
1924 average of l,945, but it was
pointed out that the depression pre-
vailed during that period, and be-
cause of scarce employment walk

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Jungle Fighting

Like the story of every other is
land in the South Pacific, U. S.
troops have had to fight for every
inch of ground on tropical New
Guinea, where landings have placed
doughboyS in possession of the air
strip on Cape Gloucester and
beachhead at Arawe.
With the enemy dug well in the
jungle, U. S. dive bombers and ar
tillery helped clear the way for the
infantry as it edged forward through
the dense brush about Cape Glou-
ceSter. In similar terrain at Arawe,
the enemy also fell back grudgingly.
While doughboys clawed forward
in New Britain, other elements of
the U. S. Sixth army beat south
eastward along the New Guinea
coastline toward a juncture with
Australian troops driving north
ward. In this sector, the Allies
aimed for the big Jap shipping base
of Madang, supply point for their

Status of Fascisr7,
In Spain


One of the things that was not dis
cussed by the big Three" or the
big Four" in the recent meetings
at Cairo and Teheran, as far as the
world knows, was Spain.
The President, in answer to a
direct question when he returned,
said he did not see Franco. He ad-
mitted, however, that something de.
layed his return. He never said
what.
There have been signs that some
one has been whispering into Cen
eralissimo Francois ear just the
same.
He has disbanded the Falangists.
They are the uniformed party men,
bers, real military and hard-fisted
bunch of uniformed fascists, the &C.
tive party members of the Spanish
fascismo.
I saw few in Spain. They were
polite to me as foreigner but they
were not pleasant people. The ones
I met in the ranks were raw, un-
tutored youths, anxious for tips;
glad, I would imagine, in that
wrecked nation, to get food and a
suit of clothes from the government.
There is nothing more hardboiled,
of course, than hardboiled youth.
Take away from him the decent out
let's for his animal spirits-on the
ball field, in the school yard, any,
where where he can whoop and hol-
Ter and be himself-and what hap
pens? A terrific, pent-up force, all
the primitive emotions seeking an
outlet. The Nazis and the fascists
knew this and their strength is still
in the strength of the youth they
perverted: the primal instincts of
the caveman, which Turk within all
of US, turned to the base uses of
the party.
Well, Spain, nation of individu-
alists, has at last been able to shake
itself loose from part of this bond
age. The iron hand of Hitler, and
the now withered hand of Mussolini,
have been withdrawn. Spanish fas-
cismo is almost an empty shell.
1t is an axiom that fascism can
only live on blood, the blood of its
ellellllGS dIlu WllGl liley are mol
within reach, its own people. 1t has
no other sustenance-it represents
that group which, in the lower ami
mails, produces the outlawed, the To-
coed, the mad. We have these phe-
nomena among the wolves, among
elephants, even among horses-the
bad elephant" the tiger which kills
for pleasure and not for food.
Starved to Death
So Spanish fascism has been
starved to death and the essential,
decent instincts of civilized man are
again coming to the surface.
In this great struggle of the ideoio-
gies, it has taken force to beat down
force. 1t has taken a realization
that human beings, banded together
in an honest cause, have a chance
against the beast, only if they can
outwit him at his own game. Once
the active element of evil is con-
quered, the natural decencies of the
civilized man rise again and domi-

COLLEGE FOOTBALL:
No Deaths
For the second time in the IL
years he has compiled statistics on
college football deaths, DR.. Floyd r.
Eastwood of Purdue U. announced
no fatalities due to football in 1913.
Possibly because of a lack of suf-
ficient amounts and quality of equip
ment, nine deaths were recorded in
high school football, DR.. Eastwood
said.
Fatalities in the sport have gradu-
ally decreased since he started his
survey in 1881, when 81 deaths were
announced, DR.. Eastwood said
Since most deaths have been due to
head injuries, he suggested that grid
leaders look into possible use of new
crash helmets designed for military
use during the present war.
