Constantine BrO1Vu

Is much smaller than the other, 1t is
up to the infantry and the artillery to
win battles on land and to the heavy
battleships, cruisers and destroyers to
win battles at sea.
This has been amply illustrated in
italy. At Salerno we risked being
thrown into the sea without the timely
Intervention Of the Allied warships,
whose big guns stopped the German ad-
vance. On the Nettuno-Anzio front,
our 20-to-1 air superiority was of a
relative assistance. The last German
onrush which brought the Nazi forces
within the range of the Allied ships was
stopped again by the guns of our de-
stroyers and cruisers.
In the Marshalls the concentrated
fire of dozens of men-of war smashed
the strong Notifications the Japanese
had built many years ago and crazed
Jap garrisons which offered less than
a token resistance after our landings.
Aviation was helpful, of course, as a
reconnaissance force and assisted in the
bombardments. But it was a mere
auxiliary. At Tarawa where too much
reliance was placed on air power we
suffered about five times as many losses
as IN the Marshalls although the Jap
force at Tarawa was about half the
size OF that in the Marshalls.

The heavy bombardments by fleets
OF thousands of planes to which Ger
many has been subjected have handi-
capped the Nazi war production and
must have caused some depression
among the civilians whose homes have
been destroyed. But judging by the
determination with which the Nazis are
still fighting and by the fact that their
war materiel in Italy and Russia is
still available in large quantities and
Is OF excellent quality, the extent Of
damage by aviation has not been
demonstrated.

Footnote on Censorship

In his House of Commons speech
yesterday Mr.. Churchill furnished
an interesting footnote on the mysti-
flying incident Of increased censor
ship Of news stories describing the
battle at the Anzio beachhead.
In dispatch to his newspaper a
few days ago Homer Bigart OF the
New York Herald Tribune described
an interview between General
Alexander and the front-line corre-
Spondents at Anzio, in which the
general, obviously disturbed over a
telegram from General Wilson, COM
mander in chief Of the Mediterra-
mean theater, accused the corre-
spondents Of blowing hot and cold"
IN their neWs dispatches, said they
should follow a policy line" of re-
porting, and that until they did the
radio facilities for transmitting their
stories would be shut down.
The radio was shut down and then
reopened, and Mr.. Churchill ex-
pressed his satisfaction yesterday
over restoration of these facilities,
adding that the correspondents at
Anzio were blameless and the fault
lay with "others far in the rear"
He had been disturbed, Mr..
Churchill added, over the stories
on the Anzio battle, which need
lessly distressed" the public and
encouraged the enemy to attack.
So he protested to General Wilson.
General Wilson obviously protested
to General Alexander, at the front,
and General Alexander obviously
protested to the correspondents on
the scene and cut on their radio,
although, as Mr.. Churchill said, the
front-line correspondents were not
to blame.
The incident is noteworthy merely
as another Illustration of the
oddities of political censorship. The
protest over the dispatches did not
originate with the military men, but
with Mr.. Churchill, back in London.
His telegram applied to handling
dispatches in the rear, but it led to
temporary suspension of transmits
sion facilities at the front. And the
complaint at the front was not that
secrets had been revealed, or that
the truth had been distorted, but
that the stories did not follow a
policy line" 1t logically follows
that the policy line, whatever 1t is, is
designed to prevent further protests
from the politicians back home.

of war known in the past must be re-

was the key to victory on land and at

Both these new theories in the long
run have proved fallacious and as the
war now approaches its climax, it is
discovered that as far as people land
methods are concerned the present
carnage is not much different.

Letters to The Star

Says Washington Was Opposed
To Limit on Presidential Terms
To the Editor OF The Star:
It is pity that most Americans
know SO little Of what our great men
OF the past really said and thought. A
recent letter to The Star reflects the
common misconception that in refusing
e third nomination to the presidency,
George Washington desired to set q
precedent.
Washington, in fact, would have been
the last man knowingly to have estab-
lished such precedent He was op-
posed to the attempt made in the Con-
fstitutional Convention (and voted
DOWN to limit the number Of times
man might stand for President. II
can see no propriety," he wrote to
Lafayette, "in precluding ourselves
from the services of any man, who, on
some great emergency shall be deemed
universally most capable of serving the
public"
The facts concerning Washington's
two nominations and his refusal to con-
slider q third are on the record and
they give no basis for any such idea
as that he retired at the end Of two
terms because of performed theory
that this was the maximum length Of
time that president should serve. He
accepted his first nomination with re-
luctance and with the intention Of re-
signing In midterm, but when that
time came circumstances were not pro-
pltious, At the end of his first term.
his intense desire to return to his home
and the urgent need he felt to look
after his personal affairs made him
determined to refuse denomination But
he was overruled Madison urged that
his retiring at the present juncture
might have effects that ought not to
be hazarded'; Hamilton spoke of the
evident necessity of his continuing in
office; Jefferson argued in the same
vein
When his second term drew toward
close, Washington again was urged
to accept denomination. He now, for
the first time, felt convinced that he
could retire without endangering the
interests Of the Nation. II rejoice" he
states in his farewell address, that the
state of your concerns, external as well
as internal. no longer renders the pur-
suit OF my inclination incompatible with
the sentiment of duty"
In spite Of the strongest personal
desire and Of POLITICAL, opposition
which gave him bitter unhappiness he
remained at the helm to the limit of
the time that he felt he was needed
by his country. That, and not a two
term limit. is the precedent set by
washington. F. A. CARPENTER.

and restore kharkov and Belgorod to
the Germans was in progress.
Stalingrad had been the turn of the
tide, and from the shock of that epic
defeat the German high command was
still suffering. but there were many to
say that they were making good re-
covery, and were at least denying the
Russians the final fruits of victory.
But there are few to speak in such
terms today. In the year that has

ranean contributed much to Allied VIC
tories in the theater.
We were told at the outbreak of the
war that the Nazis were using young
men to command their forces with one
exception, Marshal Rommel. He Is,
however, 81 years Of age. Gen. Won
Rundstedt, who has been given the vital
task Of opposing the Allied invasion in
the west, is 81: Col. Gen. Jodl, Hitler's
chief Of stan, Is 81, the commander on
the eastern front, Gen. Won Mannstein,
Is 63, and Marshal Kesselring, who COM
mands the forces in italy, is SO.
Not 4 single Allied or enemy COM
mander Of an army group or even an
army Is as young as Alexander the
Great or Napoleon at the height Of their
military careers.
Even the aviation commanders such
as Air Marshal Tedder and Gen. Spaatz,
who are responsible for the leadership
OF huge groups of airfleets. cannot be
described as youngsters. They are well
over 49, There are number OF young
colonies in the aviation. But this does
not upset the theory that man who is
placed in charge Of important opera
tions must have reached a mature age
In the political field only mature men
have proved their mettle: President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain are all over go.
The war has not fulfilled the predic-
ton Of those who said aviation is su-
preme In battle. 1t is true that in 1941
the British lost two of their best battle
ships, which were sunk by the Japanese
airplanes. 1t is also true that German
aviation and the Panzer divisions con-
tributed greatly to the defeat of the
French.
The answer Is that aviation reigns
supreme in battle If the other side has
none. But when both sides are pro-
yided with air protection. even if on"

Mr.. Churchill placed the German
strength In Italy at something like
half million" a figure higher than
that generally assumed, and pre-
dicted that they would defend their
position there as tenaciously as at
Stalingrad. He touched upon many
other points OF interest, including
the Balkans, the war at sea and the
Far East. He concluded with an ap-
peal for united efforts against the
common enemy in a struggle which
may still be long and hard, but

they turned out to be weIl-man-
nered boys, though self-conscious
at first. They knew they were be-
ing sized up. So the fact that they
came at all scored in their favor.
On closer scrutiny, Robert seemed
particularly genuine and trained
to a sense of responsibility. Dick
was clever, but he was also too
sophisticated.
The important thing was that
Sally herself perceived all this.
An adolescent girl can be astute
about a boys character. If she
sees the boy in her own home in
the midst of a family she regards
highly, she usually comes to good
conclusions of her own. So it was
with Sally she liked Robert
best and invited him to the dance.

the nice hotels. Sally was very
eager to go. But when she brought
up the question, her father asked
what all fathers ask: Who was
going to take her?
The girl answered promptly that
she could invite Robert Philips
or Dick Graham. Her father had
not heard either name before.
They were midshipmen at a neigh
boring university, Sally explained;
she met them at her best friends
house; they were swell boys.

That might well be. But her
father, like many Others, felt that
young men behave differently to-
day from the way those he grew up
with behaved. In the present day
a girl often finds herself wall
flower even when her partner is
someone she knows well. And she
may be expected to pet" gener-
ously or be labeled a "droop."

VoDAy when a young girl asks

apt to feel acutely anxious. Accord

American young people, the girl
will be squirrel but unchaperoned

But in wartime the boys at the
dance will probably not be child

to her family. The old crowd is
