There are many other, and perhaps
better, reasons why BOTH measures

a strong incentive for Nebraska vot-

OCCASIONALLY from varie d

military merit awards are being
handed around too Unfortunately
by Washington in this war.
That charge may or may not be
true but of one thing we are certain.
Everybody who knows him even
slightly will applaud the awarding by
the U. s. Army of its Distinguished
Service Medal to 1t. Gen. William s.
Knudsen.
If ever a decoration won out of
actual combat was merited it was, in
our opinion, the award to Gen.
Knudsen.
This man did not volunteer to
serve his nation through any spirit
of adventure or Impotence with the
relatively dull routine of civilian life.
He did it through motives of pure
patriotism. He did it because in the
sincerity and humility that are so
much a part of his character, he felt
his country might need him and could
use him.
Accordingly he abdicated one of
the most important posts in Ameri
can industry president of General

Motors) to take one of the most diff
cult and thankless war jobs the
United States government had to
offer.
That job was to expedite the
transformation of industry from
peacetime to wartime standards and
to get wartime production running
smoothly.
During the early months of his
military career Gen. Knudsen suf-
fered many heart stabbing disap-
pointments and much cruel and
unreasonable criticism from unin-
formed persons in and out of politics.
But nobody ever heard him complain
or advance any alibis.
He just went ahead doggedly at
his herculean task until he licked it.
His vindication is now a well
established fact. It is the amazing
war production of Detroit and other
industrial centers; the record
breaking production of weapons and
armament which today is beating the
Axis enemy.
Bill Knudsen didn't need medal
to advertise his achievement.
Nevertheless his Detroit neigh.
bors are glad he got it.

ON Orders From Moscow

THE further expansion of Tito's
i army, which is mainly composed
of Communists and other wildcat
social revolutionists, would be
further proof that, on orders from
Moscow, the Reds are getting ready
to set up Soviets in Yugoslavia by
force.
The background OF. Tito" is 100
per cent Red, although for sinister
political purposes, like the American
Communists, he now hypocritically
processes a friendship" for non
Communists.
From 1917 to 1920 otto" was in
the armies of Leon Trotsky.
When he returned to his native
Croatia he was jailed as a Commu-
mist, label which he has never re-
pudiated.
According to Daniel De Luce, AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent who
saw Tito" and his Partisans in Oc-
tober, 1913, otto" and his followers
"wore homemade Red stars 1.-THE
emblem of Soviet Russia), on their
caps, Haunted the Red hammer and

~ is Stain stooge.
De Gaulle's slogan is the "libera-
ton of France"
In reality, his purpose is the de-
livery of France to Dear Powerful
Russia"
"Tito's" slogan is Gree Yugo-
slavia."
In reality, he, too, seeks to deliver
his sore pressed and suffering people
over to as great tyranny as he now
combats-Soviet Russia.
The tragic aspect of this whole
matter tragic because it may lead
to another war;, is our official silence,
the downright acquiescence in fact,
in regard to Gen. De Gaulle's and
"Tito's" manifestoes.
This humiliating kow-towing to
Stain and his now ar-flung Euro
pean stooges cannot possibly be ap-
proved by any American except the
Roosevelt Reds, led by Earl Browder,
E. z. Foster, Israel Amter and their
camp-followers.

Dy AsOOSO We AANOEhAAAC
Director of Los Angeles City College
THE cooperative system Of educa-
L ton is thoroughly sound educa-
tional procedure.
Junior colleges the nation over,
and particularly in California, are on
record in favor of use of the CO.
operative system WHENEVER
AND WHEREVER this can be done.
1t is widely recognized as an
ESSENTIAL PART of occupational
training.
The plan is in use at Los Angeles
City College, and we will expand it
just as rapidly as postwar conditions
make this possible.
The cooperative system of edu-
cation is a plan by Uhich students
alternate bettOeen study on campus
and actual work in industry, bust
ness, the professions, and agricul-
tural fields.
1t was in use in universities and
junior colleges prior to the war. The
war has speeded up its use, particu-
larly so in some of the high schools
here in Los Angeles, where it is re-
ferred to as the "four-four" plan.
Expansion of the plan is under
consideration by high schools, junior
colleges, and colleges for the postwar
period.
Ii can be applied to the education
of won,en as weU az of men.
The plan has many advantages
from the student point of view in that
it enables him to PRODUCE and to
EARN while he is LEARNING.
1t assists him in making a wise
choice of an occupation. 1t MOTT
YATES his study and college expert
ence.
1t gives him an understanding Of
economic conditions through first
hand experience.
Ii develops self -reliance, initia-
tue, and many work habits that can
be gained in no other manner.
AS we enter educational planning
for postwar needs, some form Of the
cooperative work-study plan seems
to be essential in junior college and
college training.
1t is reasonable to expect that
educators working in these fields will
be alert to the opportunities offered
by the system and will be ready to
meet with those interested in the
fields of public service, business,
agriculture, industry, and the pro-
LESSONS in advancing the program
of cooperative training.

WHAT is becoming clearer and
w clearer to every thinking Ameri-
can is that Soviet Russia is backing
communistic stooges all over Europe
in preparation for peace which
will certainly be of her own making
if the Roosevelt Hull Churchill bow
ing and scraping before Stain con-
tinues.
Gen. Charles De Gaulle, general
issimo of the French forces, taking
leaf out of the book of his master
in the Kremlin, is now "voiding
pacts" that former representatives
of France made with the United
States and England, nations on whom
the very lives and future liberties OF
the French people now depend.
Before the French provisional
consultative assembly in Algiers
Gen. De Gaulle, with the cynicism of
a Stain, Hitler or TOTO, declared
that the Darlan Clark agreements on
which the Allies military authority
in North Africa rests were no longer
binding on France.
By France" Gen. De Gaulle
means himself.
ITO SHOW how completely the pro-
i visional consultative assembly
has become the stooge of a stooge
the announcement of Gen. De Gaulle
that he had torn up solemn agree
ment between the late Adm. Darlan
and Gen. Mark Clark was wildly
applauded."
It would seem from the official
silence in the state department and
Downing Street after Gen. De
Gaulle's reputation of the Darlan-
Clark agreement that both the
United States and England are afraid
to reprimand Gen. De Gaulle or to
ask him for an explanation for fear
it will cause "Dear, Powerful Rus

Gaulle's), to say to both of her pow
erful democratic Allies: ::
"Hands off of my pets!
The rapidity with which this
communistic quislinging of Europe
is going on on the part of Stain, is
again indicated in the fact that on
the same day that Gen. De Gaulle
issued his def to his two western
Allies, the commander of the Yugo
slavian Partisans, Josip Broz, alias
"Tito," declared that his "army can
