A Stronger Commission

The unanimity which marked
Senate confirmation of James Fran
cis Reilly to be member of the
Public Utilities Commission speaks
well for his qualifications. It also
reflects a general sentiment in favor
OF restoring to the commission the
strength which has been dissipated
by conspicuous dissension among
the commiSsioners-a type of dis
senslon which made disagreement
the rule and which worked to the
disadvantage of an agency serving
the public in the regulation of
utilities.
Mr.. Reilly comes to the commits
sion highly recommended by those
who have been associated with him
in public service. His background
of government work and his resi-
dence in the District give him an
advantageous conception of his new
field. He will take office about the
time that James w. Lauderdale will
begin to function as peoples coun-
sci, placing the commission in a
better position than 1t has occupied
for some time past to deal with what
has become an extraordinarily COM
plicated situation involving the local
utility regulation.
Evening star., 1944-06-11
Catastrophe in Italy

The war news from Italy is almost
unbelievably good. Stubborn Ger
man resistance in the Alban Hills
south of Rome led military observers
to think that the main body of the
German Army had executed a sue
cessful wheeling movement around
the Alban pivot and could retire
northward in reasonably good order.
But current dispatches from Allied
headquarters state fatty that the
German retreat has been turned
into a catastrophe" for Marshal
Kesselring's forces, and General AL
exander, the Allied commander in
chief, states categorically that "the
strength of the German armies has
been broken"
This certainly seems true OF the
German right wing, based upon the
Tyrrhenian Sea coast. Our motorized
infantry and armor are rolling up
the western shore of Italy virtually
unopposed. Inland, however, the
terrain Is more rugged, the chief
line of retreat for the Germans be-
ing the Tiber Valley, which runs due
northward through the center of
the peninsula for nearly 100 miles.
Here the German 10th Army has
been Offering sitter resistance and
Allied progress is not so rapid, but
the rout of the enemy's 18th Army
exposes the flank of the 10th to
Allied attack. This is really the
crucial sector. The Germans can
afford to lose the west coastal
routes, which are menaced by Al
lied leapfrog landings at almost
any point south of Spezia, but an
Allied breakthrough up the Tiber
Valley as well would doom the Ger
mans to disaster.
With the British 8th Army also
picking up speed in its advance up
the eastern coast, there is scant
likelihood of German stand until
they reach the main chain of the
Apprentices which runs across Italy
transversely from Spezia to Ancona
or Rimini on the Adriatic. Presum-
ably German reserves from Northern
Italy are already taking position
there. The question is whether
Marshal Kesselring can salvage the
bulk OF his retreating troops and
equipment in time to reach that
temporary haven. General Alexan-
der will do his best to see that this
does not happen,
Evening star., 1944-06-11
Mr.. AppIey Resigns

The resignation of Lawrence A.
Appley as deputy chairman and ex-
ecutive director of the War Man
power Commission will result in the
loss by that important agency of a
man who has rendered outstanding
service in an exceedingly difficult
undertaking.
BY popular definition Mr.. Appley
Is "bureaucrat," but he is not a
man to whom the odious connota-
tions of that much-abused term can
be made to apply. He is quiet, eff
cient and hard working. His ap-
proach to a solution of the Nations
manpower problem has been based
on the firm belief that persuasion
is better weapon than threats, and
that men can be induced to do
things on a voluntary basis that
they would not do in the face of
compulsion. He also Is an advocate
of decentralization, believing that
the key to the unraveling of such
Evening star., 1944-06-11

complicated tangles as the man
power problem must be found in the
local communities affected, and can
not be found in Washington.
When a broad background of ex-
perience in industry is added to
these qualifications, it can readily
be seen that Mr.. Appley was ex-
ceptionally we'll equipped for his
job and that his departure will be
a real loss to the VINO. But he has
given the better part of the past
four years to the Government, and
his health has broken under the
strain. In these circumstances he
is taking a sensible course, and he
will depart with the gratitude and
best wishes of those who know him
and his work.

under local leadership and in con-
slant touch with their representa-
tives abroad who constitute the
underground for all practical pur-
poses. And it is those groups who
are being directed by radio broad
casts and secret orders to do the
jobs assigned to them.
In all probability, the under
ground will seldom be ordered to
rise in general insurrection. That
is because masses of ill-armed men
can do little against even small
forces of regular troops equipped
with machine guns, artillery and
tanks supplemented by strafing air.
planes. Most of Western Europe is
open country which can be quickly
penetrated by German punitive
columns. Only in few inaccessible
areas like the Alps and Norway
would open guerrilla resistance be
possible.
The main role of the underground
will thus presumably be sabotage,
elimination of Quislings and aid to
the invading Allied troops as guides
and giyers of exact local informa-
ton concerning German military
dispositions, country lanes, fordable
points in rivers, and similar data.
Although individually such service
may appear minor and will lack
dramatic appeal, collectively they
should be of great Importance. In
certain cases a single item of timely
information may make all the diff
ference between Allied success or
failure. This is especially true Of
paratroop operations, where land
ings effectively assisted by the un-
derground will be greatly facilitated.
When the history of this war comes
to be written, the varied role of the
underground will constitute one of
its most interesting phases.
