"This was the only heavy loss that befell our side in bringing B. 800 900 American soldiers with their weapons and supplies overseas"
 Another leaflet debunked state- ments by Nazi leaders and empha- ,, stzed the sharp cleavage between their interests and those of the German people.
 "The Nazi leaders dread the word peace" Berliners were told in white letters on red paper For they know that peace means the end of their power, the end of their privi- leges. Because Nazi leaders fear peace, they attempt to make the German people frightened of peace also"
 The propaganda makes no prom ises of Q rosy postwar world for the Fatherland. Instead, in words calculated to appeal to people who are being bombed around the clock the pamphlets remind Germans that:
 When peace comes - then the alarm sirens will cease to sound then no more bombs will fall on Germany; then the time will be past when dread tidings inform mothers and wives of the death of their sons and husbands on the battle fields; then the German manhood which now Senselessly perishes in Hitlers war, will turn to the task of rebuilding the Fatherland. It continues:
 'The misery which, according to the assertions of the Nazis, the Ger man people can expect from & peace of equalization. has already became a reality in Germany by Hitler's war Hitler's war has enslaved the Ger man people, has torn German fami- lies apart, and is turning the Ger man Reich into field of ruins. Only peace can stop this devastation
 The same leaflet then hammers the idea that surrender will mol mean enslavement. It quotes q statement by President Roosevelt tc this effect, and adds:
 'The Nazis assert that the Ger mans would be enslaved by peace through equalization. The truth is, that Hitlcr's war has enslavee the German people. The Germans have to toll like slaves for Hitler die like slaves for Hitler's war Peace would end this slavery"
 The newspaper Starry Flag dropped with the pamphlets is print ed in red, black and grey and bear, the dateline: London, Feb. %, l944. The publisher is listed as Kriegs informationsamt"-otherwise knowl as OWI. The size is about eight b. ten inches.
 A flying fortress spreads itsel across three of the four columns oi the front page. 4 dotted outlin extending beyond the wingtipS pro videS the German reader with al idea of the size of the new super flying fortress. Comparative meas urementS in bright red lines accom- pany the illustration.
 A caption explains that producti of the giant planes will not interfer with the output of B-17s. Letha statistics about the new fortress ar given in full.
 Inside there is a feature story re quiring no editorial comment. Tn headline: 1921 100000 spent in
 months for relief of citizens b American Army in Italy"
 A column of facts and figures oI page three describes American pro duction, territory retaken by tn Red Army, the rigorous training tn U. s. soldiers at Fort Jackson ar subjected to before they go to war.

Deferred Men Facing Draft
Continued from Page D


 At the same time, the President made 1t plain that the truly essen- tial industrial specialists under 26 will continue to be deferred. He added, however, that the percen- tage of those was relatively very small, and that the bulk of the men under 26 now were needed more by the Army than in their industrial jobs.
 Told that the War Production Board had estimated the number of under-26s who could not be spared from the home front at 10000. MT. Roosevelt was asked how this fig- ure stood up in his compilations He shot back: What are we going to do-lose on the battlefront or at home?
 You can't. he continued. send people overseas who are not in good physical shape.
 At first glance this seemed to in- dicate that there will be a cessa- ton in the drafting of persons over 26. This. however. was not the case because selective service has said it will need 1.l60.000 new men between Feb. 1 and June 30 of this year. Thus the bulk of this demand for fighting men actually must come from the ranks of youths reaching IS and the class of older men and fathers.
 Mir. Roosevelt obviously plagued by the growing manpower crisis planned to spend today and Sunday in close personal examination oi the problem. He said he hoped to have something to say on the situa- tion-probably new orders reinforc- ing the accent on youth" policy early next week.

stead Of light vote in Maryland,
often predicted In the early days of
the campaign, there may be q heavy

measure to servicemen. Applications
for service ballots this week reached
the surprising total of 81. 900 out OF
q total service roster Of about lis 900
and Gov. Herbert r. O'Conor opined
that applications probably will num-

However, James L.. Hennegan,
chairman of the Baltimore super

vote wouldn't necessarily follow q
high service interest. He pointed
out that the bulk of the soldiers and
sailors weren't of voting age In the
last presidential election, and there
is always strong desire among
youths to exercise their first
franchise.

Jersey Campaign Picks Up
Bv Robert T. Tnulor.

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 30.-The
political tempo in New Jersey is
speeding up, what with various polls
and "samplings" Of the voters indi-
eating an even division in the State
so far as F. D. r. and Dewey are
concerned, and from now things are
going to hum.
The Republicans are inclined to
feel cocky about the way things are
going. The jolt they got when the
CLOS Political Action Committee
seemed to be making good headway
in parts Of the State has long since
passed, and their own all-out reg
istration drive Is producing tangible
results. The COP leaders now will
privately admit the PAC may have

Journey Through choos:
|Ameyico.s Home Front

By Agnes Z. Meyer. fHarcoart.
Brdce.1
This 4 not Z pleasant book TO
read. But IT Is one that demands
the thoughtful attention OF every
serious student Of the American
scene. For that scene, as Mrs. Meyer
found 1t In 1884. and a. 1t un-
doubtedly remains, Is anything but
pretty.
It Is q scene Of poverty in the
midst Of plenty, overcrowdedness IN
q land Of vast space. misery where
there should be happiness. Mrs.
Meyer saw 1t all at first-hand, on .
tour Of rs American war centers,
and she wrote about 1t In great de-
tail In q series Of articles in her
husbands newspaper, the Washing
ton Post. These articles. revised and
amplified by an introduction and a
conclusion, make up the present
volume.
MRS. Meyer studied the physical
and moral aspects Of the lives Of 40
million migratory war workers and
their million children-people on
the move, crowding into strange
cities, tackling, jobs with which
they were unfamiliar, chasing what
appeared to be easy money, finding
only chaos. And it was much the
same everywhere, even In Washing
ton, where, she says, "the same lack
Of good sense has been demon
strated that I found repeated over
and over again in the war centers."
The chapter devoted to the Capt.
tai does not concern itself with
living conditions in general, but
with conditions among the Negro
population in particular. TN my
journey through the war centers, I
have visited the worst possible hous-
ing" Mrs. Meyer reports. But not
in the Negro slums OF Detroit, not
even in the Southern cities, have I
seen human beings subjected to
such unalleviated wretchedness as
in the alleys of our own city. .

Indeed, they must. And it is to

CONTINUED From Page C-iJ

American conception Of the Negro
has gradually undergone q change
as one may witness In literature and
the arts and the drama. These
changes are more important indices
OF the collective mind than statisti-
cal studies. They all point to the
gradual integration Of the Negro
into American culture.
The recent gains which he has
made In becoming integrated into
the industrial Life of America are
q part Of this process. Although the
Fair Employment Practice Com
mittee has not wrought miracles, 1t
represents a new charter Of freedom
in American industrial society. No
where has the caste principle been
dealt such q blow as In the changed
status Of the Negro in the armed
forces. During the last war, the most
radical leaders thought that they
had won signal victory in securing
the training Of Negro officers in q
separate training camp. But today
the Negro has not only entered the
air forces, the Marine Corps. the
Navy, but white and Negro officers
are being trained together.
In his struggle for freedom and
equality in America, the Negro has
been fortunate in being able to
identify his cause with the larger
cause Of human freedom and fiu-
man equality. When during the
Civil War the freedom Of the slaves
became identified with the Union
cause, not only did the Union cause
receive the support Of European lib
erals, but the freedom Of the Negro
became part Of the struggle for
human freedom.
Similarly In the present World
War, the struggle Of the Negro for
freedom and equality has become q
part OF the struggle against super
stitious racial theories and the de-
NAL Of freedom and equality to Ill
races. The fate OF the Negro In
America Is thus bound up with the
fate OF democracy after the war. II
