NEW GERMAN PRIORITY
SCHEDULE

According to the Swiss weekly Die
Weltwoche, the nazis-who used to
give top priority to submarines-are
now giving precedence to the produc-
ton of aircraft, tanks, artillery and
U-boats, in that order.
Despite the new priority schedule,
however, the newspaper said that the
concentrated Allied bombing Of Ger
many had prevented the production
of the number of planes and tanks
planned by the nazis. The paper esti-
mated that Germany was putting out
under 1000 planes month instead of
the 1900 ordered by Adolph Hitler,
with monthly tank output being reck-
oned at 700 instead of the 1900 the
paper said was necessary to carry
out the plan" of Colleen. Heinz

GRAND CROSSING
By ALEXANDER SAXTON
BOOK FIND CLUBS JANUARY SELECTION
Reviewed by Vivian Sharp

versity Of Chicago. There he rooms
in Chicago's slum section, eats in the
Coop and argues philosophical points
with students who are hungry to
learn.
Ben with bis hardy good nature and
searching philosophers is continually
setting forth challenges which Mi
chael cannot ignore; Mostly every
one just pats themselves on the back
and yells what great nation we are;
we all have the right to vote. Maybe
third of the people don't eat but we
can all vote, and that makes it all
right. My own personal feeling is
that when people rot on West Mad
ison and get shoveled into the fac
tories like horse manure, every in
dividual alive is guilty for murder"
Another friend William Christmas,
young negro medical student and a
communist veteran of the Spanish
war knows where he is heading and
attempts to carry Michael along with
him. Point is, whether we're mixed
up in this free competition ourselves
or not. You tell that farmer he's
just an impartial referee between the
weeds and his corn; he'll tell you:
No, sir, this isn't fight between the
weeds and my corn, it's a fight be-
tween the weeds and me- And we're
just like the, farmer. We're not UNI
pires in any baseball game; we're
fighting for our skins. We got to
prove we're tougher than the Ku
Kluxers and the anti-Semites and the
red-hunters and the fascists and
everybody else that lives on the backs
of other people"
GRAND CROSSING is a novel of
progression. There are no dramatic
decisions or sudden conversions The
young middle class intellectual strug-
giles and questions tortuously uncov-
ering a few truths. Gradually he
comes to identify himself with the
working class.
The book is strongly Autobiography
ical. Saxton, too, like Michael Reed
studied at Harvard, transferred to
Chicago in his third year and became
a switchman in the Chicago freight
yards 1t took three and half years
to complete GRAND CROSSING as it
was written entirely at night after
daily grinds on the railroad.
SANDY" Saxton is too busy, now,
studying radio in the Merchant Ma
rine to do much writing. But when
tho Uar ic ruOn and ba rat,,rno Prom,
his job of fighting fascists, thousands
of enthusiastic readers will be eagerly
looking forward to the release of his

ENTHUSIASTIC" COAL

A new claw" of energy by which a
lump of coal dug with spirit" will
produce more caloric units than a
lump mined Enthusiastically was re-
Gently announced by a Japanese prop
agandist in Manchuria, according to
the controlled Hsinking radio.
The announcement, as reported in
the broadcast, was made by Informa-
ton Chinef Hasegawa of the Kwan-
tung army, who called on the "black-
diamond soldiers" local miners) of
Manchuria to dig with enthusiasm be-
cause Japan and the United States
have entered a stage of the war in
which the war will be decided by the
power of production"
even in digging single lump of
coal,' he said, it is not merely ques-
ton of digging lump of black coal.
The main thing is to dig it with all
your heart in it. The coal that is dug
with spirit is entirely different from
the coal that is just ordinary coal on
a truck. The coal that is dug with
spirit will produce 5000 to 5000 cal
cries, where ordinary coal produces
only 1000 calories."

VlCHY BANS MAILING OF
COFEINS

Anti-nazi French patriots who make
a practice of demoralizing collabor-
ators by sending them miniature cof-
fins through the mail became the tar
get last week for a new Vichy decree
prescribing prison terms for the use
of threats made by means of pic
lures, symbols or emblems."
In announcing the decree, the Vichy
radio said the edict would be added
to articles of the French penal code
providing punishment for threats to
kill by poisoning, ill-treatment or VIC
lence."
On hearing of the decree, broad
caster on the free French Brazzaville
radio in Africa commented that he'd
give a sou or two just to see the
wording of a law banning the sending
of collins through the mail.

dition Of those victims of "over-pro-
duction" in the USA. But it must be
remembered however that those i'm
provements were made mainly with
IAN ear to the ground" and an eye
to the psychological effect upon senti-
ment and deliberate intent to
strengthen the political power Of the
aspiring dictator who, having firmly
established himself in a position of
power exhibited little hesitation in
destroying every vestige of the liber-
ties bestowed on the workers by his
own professed act Which brings
forcibly to mind the statement of Mr..
Justice Davis of the supreme court
lex parte Milligan list U. S. p. 1861
"a country preserved at the sacrifice
of every cardinal principal of liberty
and justice is not worth the cost of
preservation.
The people of our "democracies,"
well grounded in their rights as they
apparently are, may we'll ponder the
course of Italy and Germany and be
eternally on guard that while we are
carrying on a war for democracy
abroad we do not lose the cardinal
principles of liberty and justice at
home.

Inside the Axis
Continued from Page one)

Following the arrests the fascist
organ Fascio Embossed the following
diatribe against the clergy:
1.-THE pulpit has been converted into
a political platform. The parishes
have become dens where former pris-
oners and political refugees find shell
ter. The seats of Catholic associa-
lions have become subversive centers
of anti-nationalism. 1t is high time
that these rogues end their activities
otherwise we will find other ways
and means to stop them"
Meanwhile, the Basler Nachrichten
reported that the fascist youth maya
zine Libre Moschetto had attacked
the Pope and asked why he was silent
at time when the Catholic Church
seems to have forgotten it's spiritual
mission and has plunged into mad
missible political action"

WHY GERMAN SOLDIERS
COMMIT SUICIDE


Aside from cases which it said
would have occurred even in civilian
life, a German army medical docu-
ment recently captured by the Allies
disclosed that fear of punishment"
was the greatest single motive for
suicides among German soldiers.
The document, entitled Medical
Advice to Unit Medical Officers Con-
corning the Prevention of Suicide"
was issued by the Inspector of Med
ical Services of the German Armed
Forces in May, 1943 1t said that of
the 524 per cent of suicides traceable
to causes connected with army serv-
ice, 1913 per cent were caused by fear
of punishment.
Declaring that AIS per cent of the
reported suicides of German service
men were ceases that would have oc-
Cured in civilian life," the document
broke down the service factors lead
ing to suicides among German soldiers

JAPANESE FASHIONS

The Tokyo radio, which habitually
frowns on vestiges of American in

lives of the Japanese, noted with glee
recently that American hair-dress
