HITLER IN REVERSE
In May. 1910, German panzers
rolled suddenly out of Wallendorf
across the border into the neigh
boring, helpless grand duchy of
Luxembourg and swallowed the
tiny buffer state into Hitler's
Reich. But Thursday noon Ameri-
can troops changed this into the
exact reverse, when they came
flooding out of the Luxembourg
hills, seized Wallendorf and drove
from there through the first dense
belt of the Siegfried Notifications.
Momentarily. on the heights
above the village, the distant
thunder of American guns still
was audible today as the Yanks
showed their wedge deeper inland,
blasting the network Of West Wall
pillboxes TO smithereenS.
Only a few hundred young and
old residents of Wallcndorf are
left of the 5000 "heiling" NaziS
who once held forth here. They
spend their time raking scraps

Grounding Day

This is the day for the annual
unveiling of the legend of the
grounding, natures timid weather
forecaster. To many it is more than
a legend: they are convinced that If
the grounding comes out and sees
it's shadow. back 1t will dart into its
burrow to avoid six weeks of bitter
weather. Apparently the grain OF
science in the ton of superstition is
based on the theory that sunshine
on February 2 Is TOO good to be true
and that nature will make up the
difference with vengeance. But
why depend on mere grounding?
Would it not be more practical to
make use of Weather Bureau en-
ploye. He, too, can cast a shadow
if the conditions are right, say, when
going out to lunch on a sunshiny
day, and can dart back into his bu-
reau as rapidly as any grounding,
having learned from much practice
to dodge numerous individuals who
illogically hold him responsible for
the wrong kind of weather. So,
whether you see shadow or not,
call up the Weather Bureau for in
formation on what to expect for the
next six weeks. The answer will be
that it is such confidential mill
tary secret that they do not even
know it themselves for that long in
advance.

Union DeIinquents

The disclosure that $4,000 workers
at the Kearny and Port Newark
IN. j. yards Of the Federal Ship
building and Drydock Co. are in bad
standing with their union for nom
payment Of dues is an interesting
commentary on the operation Of the
War Labor Boards maintenance of
membership clause.
These delinquent union workers
constitute more than q fourth Of all
the employees in the yards. How
many OF the others belong to the
union has not been disclosed, but
1t is to be presumed that some never
Joined and that others may have
availed themselves of the fifteen
day escape clause" provided in
renewal of the contract last Sep
tember.
Apparently the 10000 now in diff
ficulty were union members when
the first maintenance clause was is
sued in May, 1912. That order did
not provide for an escape clause, so
these employees could not withdraw
from the union. Instead, they Just
stopped paying dues and then, pre-
sumably thinking that they had
been dropped by the union, did not
