Insists Maurois Is a Gaul
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star for June 26 DR.. Henry
.. 6ruehl asserts that Andre Maurois.
whose family name is Herzop. is M
uaul at all. That seems to me a rather
nasty conclusion which the doctor him
sell proceeds to demolish by telling us
tnas Maurois is Of Alsatian descent and
that his grandfather left Alsace after
the Franco-Prussian War of 1901
and settled in France.
Ancient Alsace was a part of Ga,,l
and the Alsatians were Just as Celtic
as the French. The fact that Mauro,s,
grandfather left Alsace after its forcibl.
annexation by Germany and preferred

enough that he was not German, even
though his name sounds German.
Inree years after the Franco-Prus-
sian War. the people of Alsace-Iorraine
elected Is representatives to the Ger.
man Reichstag, and the first thing those
members did was to enter a unanimous
protest against the annexation. The
protest was read on February 18. 1874
by the member for Saverne whose name
was Edouard Teutsch-the name was
German, but the man was not. Other

Freedom of the News

There is some special significance
In the fact that the Republican
platform makers included a plank
on freedom of the news, which
denotes a principle even broader
than freedom of the press. For
this plank carries recognition by
one Of the major political parties
Of a truth which has been given
dramatic emphasis in this war and
in the events leading up to the war,
namely that peoples have found
themselves shackled by governments
which denied the truth, or, worse,
dealt in half-truths or withheld the
facts from the public" and that the
availability of full and complete
information" is necessary in "the
maintenance of a free America"
The platforms insistence that "all
channels Of news must be kept open
with equality of access to informa-
ton at the source" is coupled with
the hope that agreements "can be
achieved with foreign nations to
establish the same principles" For
as Kent Cooper, executive director
Of the Associated Press, and an in
creasing number of journalists have
pointed out, the future peace OF the
world will be largely dependent on
free and equal access to the sources
of news, wherever they are. Where
the news moves freely across inter-
national boundaries, without distor-
ton or suppression, the suspicious
and misunderstanding which breed
war are not so likely to occur.
The Republican platform, and it
is hoped that later on the Demo-
cratic platform, will give encourage
ment to the effort now in progress
to work for international recognition
Of the Importance of q free and un-
restricted flow Of truthful news to
implement the peace that viii follow
this war.

it we can be confident that the

Quoted with such a sense Of respon-
sibility that our armed effort will in
no way be diminished. In short,
whatever may be said by the rival
candidates between now and No
vember, and whatever may be the
outcome of the election, our enemies
can be sure OF only one thing: That
we and our Allies will wage war
against them until they are totally
beaten. II they still imagine other
wise, after what Governor Dewey
has declared. they merely give fur
ther proof of how incapable they are
of understanding Americans.

IN epic Of the Canadian Navy. In
running tight in the Channel with Ger
man destroyers the Athabaskan and
the Haida, two destroyers Of the Cana

stregers. Her forward guns put out Of
action by German salvo, the Atha-
baskan rushed full steam ahead, firing
With her after guns. When another
salvo crashed into her after deck and
put her main guns there out Of action
also, she slowed down and continued
the fight with the remaining smaller
guns until q torpedo blew her In two.
The Haida continued to pursue the

sisted In doing SO. ironically. by the

The Lost Hour

Even the most lurid of DR.. Goeb-
bels' exaggerations about the effec-
tiveness Of the robot bomb" cannot
hide from the average German the
ominous implications of what is
happening on the Italian, French
and Russian fronts. Accordingly,
Nazi propagandists have begun to
speak more or less frankly about
how the war has entered its key"
phase, decisive" phase, a phase
which will show whether this is the
last hour for Germany or her big
chance"
This change in propaganda is
soberer than anything the German
home front has heard from official
sources since the start of the war.
Events have become so obvious to
every one that the Nazi hierarchy
has apparently decided that it will
be wise to start telling at least some
measure of the truth. According to
a reliable London estimate, about
40 per cent OF the Wehrmacht's
divisions and almost half its total
armored strength are already fully
engaged in the great battles raging
In Italy, Normandy and Russia, and
since a substantial part of these
forces is even now being cut to
pieces. the people OF Germany must
be prepared for a torrent of bad
news.
In commenting glumly on their
overall situation, however, the
Nazis are not wholly candid. They
speak only of the hard times they
are having on three fronts, meaning
what is happening to them in Italy,
in Normandy and in the Red Army S
drive toward Minsk. They do not
mention three other fronts-the sea,
the air and the underground-all of
which, in varying degree, are tear
ing them down.
Looked at in any light, especially
when we consider the size of the
forces they have already committed
to the battles in progress. the Nazis

Adds to Church History
To the Editor of The Star.

To tn. Editor of The Star:
I was much interested in Caspar
Names brief history covering 50 years
OF the United Brethren Memorial
Church which, illustrated by a large
cut OF the structure, appeared in The
Star OF June "a, and, knowing that your
paper strives to be correct and Just in
all matters I, for many years a member
OF that congregation, feel impelled to
make some pertinent constructive criti-
cism of the purported history in Justice
to man whose services to the church
were overlooked or ignored.
In an attempt to make the history
brief, the writer thereof has omitted en-
tlrely the period of Is years from 1925
to 194l, inclusive. during which years
Rev DR.. Simpson B. Daugherty was pas
tor. During these Is years the church
and its Sunday school not only increased
their memberships, but many of the
obligations were paid in full.
In history, facts are facts, and
should be recorded; therefore, the writer
OF the 52-year history of the United
Brethren Church should have given
appropriate prominence to DR.. Dauph
erty's accomplishments.

GlObal WEAPON
BY Maj. George Fieldinq Eliot

Gen. George c. Marshall has re-
marked that the use of the new B-29
superbomber creates a new problem in
the application of military force"
The 20th Air Force, armed with these
very long-range weapons, will there
fore operate directly under the control
OF the joint chiefs of staff, in co-ordina-
ton with theater commanders. There
Is no place on the earth's surface which
Is out Of reach of these giant planes.
We have weapon of global strategy
with a vengeance and it must be so
employed. 1t cannot be tied down
within the limits OF any particular
theater; its force must be available so
that It's fexibility, which is the key to
the economical and effective employ
ment OF all strategic air power, may not
be hampered by purely local considera-
tions.
OF course, as Gen. H. H. Arnold points
out, the employment of the B-29 Is Just
beginning. We have lot to learn before
It's tull power may be developed. Con-
sequently, the frequency of its use will
be carefully determined for some time.
From this circumstance let our enemies
take what comfort they can while they
can"
+&
Two weeks have passed since the first
Super Fortress bombing of Japan with
OUT report OF the temperance of the
big planes We may hear of them
again at almost any moment, or we NAV
not hear for some little time vet. There
are many problems to be worked out in
the use OF such weapon, technical and
Sl1nnIV nrnhlanac
tactical problems. The lessons of the
initial action will have to be carefully
studied by all concerned, flying per-
sonnel as we'll as ground crews.
This is essential in order to get the
best possible value out of the big planes,
as the numbers available increase. Such
Time is not wasted, in the only terms
that count-tef1ns of fire actually de-
hvered against enemy targets.
We can afford to wait little to make
sure and then to act with concentrated
power We are not being compelled, as
tne enemy is. to waste our strength in
dr1blets, rushing here and there trying
with inadequate means to check this or
That threat of the enemy. We have
been all through that phase of the war
both in Europe and in the Pacific
We have suffered its losses and its
slckening feeling of impotence.
Now 1t Is we who have the initiative.
1t is We who are building up our
strength while that of enemy dimin-
ishes. When we use q new weapon. we
can afford the time for q few trial
runs" in order to make certain that we
are using it in the best and most effec-
tive way. We don't have to squib it off
In feeble haste, as the Germans did with
their robot planes when Gen. Eisen-
hover was 70 unkind as not to mount

Is we who are pushing the enemy around

One OF the greatest values of the B-2s.
let us note, Is the defensive expendi.

borne troops and the French under

military installation and position far
behind the fighting lines.
X X * X
The presence of the Goth Air Force
IN the Far East, and japanese knowl-
eoge that its power IS gradually being
oullt up, imposes on the Japanese
nigh command similar necessity for
dispensing their fighting power in great
depth for defensive purposes. It will
no longer be possible for them to leave
unguarded any important industrial
area, any naval station, any railway
center. any airfleld or storage area or
seaport. There will have to be more
fighter planes, more searchlights, more
antiaircraft guns and flre-control
equipment everywhere throughout the
vast area which Japan is seeking to
defend.
Men and material which might other
wise have been used to fight us on the
ground or at sea, or extensively in the
air, will be tied up in purely local de-
fense, which nevertheless cannot be
neglected at any vital point
These defenses cannot be shifted
about as the needs of the moment may
indicate. They must be right on the
spot all the time, even though they
may never be used The nature of the
defensive problem facing the Japanese
may be indicated by pointing out that
one group Of the Super Fortresses,
operating from a single base, can on
one day bomb target in Japan itself,
and on the next day the same group,
operating from the same base, might
be hitting target in the Philippines or
South China
That Is what is meant by the flexi-
bility OF strategic air power-a quality
which increases with the radius of ac-
ton. The Japanese must defend them
selves everywhere.
The net result. considering Japans
increasing difnculties In production and
transportation, must ultimately be q
reduction Of Japan's ability to fight
modern war anywhere and In any
manner, quite aside from the reduction
of Japanese industrial output which
will result from the destruction Of her
plants.
