LIBERTY BELL
IS new issue

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-tR-
Right in the midst of election bat
ting plopped another hot issue for
Congress today-should the crack
in the Liberty Bell be welded?
Never said Senator Reynolds
D.-N.C.). "It should be left as it
is in its sacred cloister."
"Why not?" asked Rep. Disney
3D. Okla.). ut seems good idea
to me. We lead a radio life now
adays and to have its ringing heard
over the air would keep the youngs-
tiers reminded of the fact there is
an old Liberty Bell. If it has a
voice it should be heard"
The suggestion that the bell be
repaired came rom w. J. Conley,
consulting engineer for the Lincoln
Electric company, Cleveland. In
letter to speaker Sam Rayburn,
Conley said a study indicates full
tone can be restored to the Liberty
Bell by arc welding" I
Nothing official can be done
about Conley's idea until Congress
reconvenes Nov. IA, but indications
are that debate will ring louder
than the old bell Gid when it crack
ed.
The bell has long been enshrined
in an honored resting place in
Independence Hall, Philadelphia.

London on the possibility that the
Nazis were developing new long

would be launched against Eng

The Swedish advices were re-

reported from a small town in
southern England which suffered
one of its worst blows OF the war
from flying bomb attacks launch
ed against southern England for
eight successive nights.
Specific details were lacking in
the Swedish report, originating in
Stockholm, but it was believed the
robots may have been launched
from the Nazi experimental sta
ton of Peenemunde on the Bal

It is believed generally in Lon

Germans in Holland will bring an
end to bonbardment by remote

borne to within striking distance

WAR PRODUCTION
TO FAR OFF PAR

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. -{P)-
There is an output deficit in a
small but vital segment of the
munitions program, and if it con-
tinues it may delay victory in
Europe indefinitely, War Produc-
ton board officials said today.
Chairman J. A. Krug told a
news conference that while war
production as a whole is going
we'll" a highly important 10 per
cent of the program = including
heavy trucks and tires, tanks and
heavy artillery ammunition - is

III we can keep the heat on for
three or four months, V-Day will
come sooner" Krug said. If we
can't get those trucks and tires,
V-Day is showed back an indefin-
lite number Of months"
Hiland G. Batcheller, WPB op-
erations chief, said September out
put of heavy trucks was 2,600 units
behind the scheduled 5000, he
warned that efficient operation of
the famed red ball express-the
Allies truck supply line to the
German West Wau-is dependent

To step up output Of heavy tires
for these vehicles he said 1t has
been necessary. to trim production
of other types-even run fat"
tires designed to function In ac-
ton despite bullet holes.
Both Krug and Batcheller said
there is an impression around the
country that current war produc-
ton is adequate. This is not true,
they emphasized, adding that
there has been too much talk Of
reconversion. tf

The sickening cynicism Of German

There is a lot of uneasiness in WASH
inpton over conditions in Mexico, Qua
tennala, Bolivia, and other Republics -
but most Of all, Argentina. All Of these
countries have depended on foreign trade
in past years. They have oil, minerals,
coffee, wheat, and an abundance of agri-
cultural products to sell. The United
States and Europe have been able 10 con-
sumo all they had TO offer.
For a third of a century the United
States has stood by, and encouraged
Latin America through thick and thin.
Twenty years or more ago, the Latin
countries were encouraged to branch out
into industrial lines. American inven-
tors bought their bonds and securities,
and helped to construct factories and
build up markets The charges that
American bankers were to blame for the
failure in Latin America to get through
are Just plain political baloney. The
Latins were new, green and lnexperl-
enced, and lacking in resourcefulness; so
they slumped, and didn't maintain the
value of their securities. They, ana
American inventors, lost lot OF money
but the Latins still tried to carry on.
Finally. through expectations Of more
helm through Good Neighbor relations.
the Latins responded-mostly with lip
service to calls to support the war. Mex.

good deal of preference from the United
States. while it sought to be recognized
as the king-pin OF South America. Patient
Uncle Sam finally tired Of threats ana
bluffs from that quarter and gently sug..
gcsted that Argentina's politicians had
ganged-up on US long enough. The rela-
tons with Argentina are not good-ap'
parently through no fault Of ours.
Latin America is riding along on the
crest of the Good NeighbOr waves-dolng
very little that is helpful to the United
States. That seems to be all that we can
expect from a bunch Of rather selfish
neighbors.
