Cleaning the News

An estimable gentleman, who is very prominent in prohibition cir cles, recently read a paper before House judiciary subcommittee which met to consider dry legisla- tion. He denounced liquor as ''non-essential luxury enterprise" having no Ilace in war program.
 And, almost coincidental, we read recent dispatch in the news papers from Normandy whichseems to refute at least substantial por- ton of the gentleman's statement. It tells us that for the first time in history, combat crews in Amer ican planes are receiving two ounces of whiskey to relieve "pilot fatigue" {
 According 10 the news story, our Air Surgeon in Washington author ized this new departure and shortly afterwards the U. s. Air Force in the European theater received the privilege. The allotment of two ounces of whiskey is offered to each member of combat crew after he returns from a mission, but is not mandatory. Any scruples against drinking are honored. He IS not forced to drink. Our information tells us, however, that this new departure has been enthusiastically received by the air men.
 It is certainly not new that med ical men havefor long time been in favor of allotting moderate uuan- titles of whiskey to our front line troops. Physicians, who have had experience in Italy, have often made the statement that both the morale and physical alwell-being of combat troops would be improved if they were given a moderate ration of whiskey in the morning and in the evening.
 In the broader dissent aati0n of this information, we may incur the displeasure of those of our citizens who see no good, but only evil in alcoholic beverages. But if they were to ask the boys who spend llmitless hours working and fight ing on sheer reserve power, they would perhaps graciously admit that it is the abuse and not the use that they object to. Its abuse can never destroy it's actual intrinsic value.
 And, speaking of intrinsic value: BUY WAR BONDS AND HOLD THEM. There is value-plusl

FEDERAL OWENED LAND
AND TAX EXEMPTION

No small problem among the states is
the tremendous amount of Federal-oWned
acreages. And there appears to be no
let-up to growing ownership. And so the
problem grows instead of offering solu
ton. The matter is argued off by bur-
eaus and agencies administering these
lands and which are clamoring for more,
that il all is a matter of taking money
out OF one pocket and putting 1t INTO
another Quite SO, maybe, but the states
have only ono pocket, so to speak, IN any
such argument.
In California the state Chamber of
Commerce is lining up forces to compel
Federal legislation looking to an ease
ment in this practice and relief from
present conditions.
1t is estimated, and the estimate will
bear accuracy tests, that there are now
l,100,236 acres so owned in California
today. And that the assessed valuation
of these acres runs to the total of S43,-
524733. That is quite 4 figure to be
stricken from the tax rolls of any state,
rich or poor. This acreage varies IN
plots in different areas from 424 to near
ly 100000 in others.
In launching its campaign for leglSia-
tive relief the chamber points out that
bill is being worked out by the house
Public Lands Committee which provides
for certain types of this property to be
classified as taxable. 1t includes prop
critics acquired for war purposes and
therefore of temporary use; Federal
housing projects used by private citizens
and property on which activities are con-
Quoted in competition with private indus
try.
On some of these types mentioned the
government sought out and acquired some
of the most valuable and highly cultl-
waited farm lands. Growing crops run
ming into the hundreds of thousands of
dollars were destroyed to make way for
these various projects, thus striking
double blow at taxables.
War emergency has warranted some
of these actions in acquiring properties,
but that hardly can be advanced now as
an all-put argument for further activlt-
les
And there will be some pretty effective
arguments presented on waste in set
ting UP these Federal activities, which
it will be contended still is going on and
which, if corrected, would permit funds
toraimburse the states for lost taxes.
Other states are organizing along the
California lines and already have taken
steps to push through the demanded re-
lief legislation

HELP BRIDGE THAT GAP
christian Science Monitor)

Private industry and the Federal Gov
ernment should not be expected to shoul
der the entire burden of postwar employ
ment. American municipalities which
are not spending money for ordinary i'm
provements because of the scarcity of
labor and the shortage of materials have
an opportunity to set aside reserves now
so that they may be able to finance pub
lie construction on payaS-you-go basis
when workers leave the war plants and
doff the uniforms of the services.
The announcement that thirteen States
during the past year authorized munich
palites to establish postwar reserves,
in addition to seven others which had
previously acted, should be an incentive
to State legislatures convening this year.
The statutes so far enacted permit an
nual levies, created by vote of the local
governing body or of the electorate
Besides street and sidewalk, which has
been almost neglected in most American
cities for several years, proposed munich
pal postwar projects include airportS,
slum clearance, subwayS, and improve
ment of local transportation facilities.
One way to help prevent revival of the
WPA and all it entailed, is for cities to
set aside funds now to bridge the gap
while war plants convert to peacetime

FiShbein Views
Medical Gains

CHICAGO, Jan. IA. (UP)-Dr.
Morris Fishbein, editor, said in an
editorial in the February issue of
Hygeia that experiments with pen
icillin and sulfonamides highlighted
medical advances in 1943.
Medical attention in l943 was
focused particularly on penicillin, -
Fishbein said. "Penicillin is especial
ly effective in streptococcic, gono-
coccic, and meningococcic infections.
Its outstanding use has been in
its application to persistent infec-
tions Of the bones in osteomyelitis,
particularly in the jaw and the
head.
Cases of gonorrhea which were
resistant to treatment with sulfona-
mides were successfully treated vita
penicillin Announcement was made
that penicillin can change a pos
tive waSserman test in syphilis to
negative in a short time.
New investigations show that the
sulfonamides are efficient in con-
trolling meningitis, bringing the to-
tai number Of deaths from II for
each 100 cases to 3 for each 100
cases in various epidemics q. new
sulfonamides were developed, in
cluding sulfamerazine, which was
said to be less toxic than previous
forms and which was recommended
particularly for, use where there
might be complications related 10

COVER WIDE TERRITORY
{ Kansas City Starr

The interesting thing about the list
of persons indicted by New York fed
eral grand jury the other day on charges
of subverSive activity, aimed at setting
up nazi regime in the United States is
the geographical coverage it represents.
Twentv-eight men and two women were
named in the indictment and their home
addresses include nine states and the
District of Columbia.
All of these defendants are accused of
serving as agents of the German govern
ment 1t is specified not only that they
individually carried on campaigns de-
signed to impair the morale of our fight
ing forces, but that they '''joined in this
movement and program and actively CO.
operated with each other and with lead
ers and members of the naZi party Tin
Germany).'
In other words, the indictment pic
lures conspiracy of American citizens,
working against their country from New
York to California. The principal CEN
ters, Judging merely from the number
of persons indicted, seem to have been
New York, Washington, Detroit, Chicago,
Wichita and Los Angeles.
The validity of the charges in each
case remains to be tested. Every one of
these 30 will have his or her day in court.
But if they are found guilty, it is to be
hoped that the punishment will fit the
crime And the crime, in essence, is
potential quislingism, which, as nation
after nation has discovered, is indistin
guishable from treason.
