Hogsett, veteran Tiger left-hander.

and after an error prevented the
visitors from being retired with
out an earned marker.
Hogsett was one of four pitch

effort to check the Bostonians.
Joe Orrell. starting a game for
the first time in the majors, lasted
but two innings. Officially the
losing pitcher. Orrell gave up
three hits and three runs.
Jake Mooty and Bob Gillespie

Tex Hughson. who went the
route for the Red Sox, was combed

Surplus War Properties

| From whatever angle postwar economic
problems are viewed in advance, the disposal
Of surplus war properties looms large. The
! subject is reviewed in the current Survey OF
the Guaranty Trust Company of New York,
which points out that legislative and adminis-
trative efforts are already being directed to
meeting the problem in an orderly and sys-
tematic way.
AS the war goes on particularly as it nears
the end actual military and naval supplies
in the possession of the armed services ''in-
stead OF being rechanne1ed into new branches
Of war industry" will become available for
civilian use. Also, there will remain the most
difficult and important problem of all-dis-
posal of the industrial plants built and owned
by the government.
AS the Survey views the situation: "Only
a rough idea Of the size of the task and the
strength of the economic forces, good or evil
that will be created can be gained from
estimates of the total money value of the
property involved While it is apparently i'm
possible to arrive at a close approximation
the amount of goods of all kinds that will
eventually have to be disposed of has been
paced by some authorities as high as $65, 000,-
000 000-a sum not far below the entire ma
tional income in a fairly prosperous year be-
fore the war.
1.-THE governments investment in war plants
and facilities alone include about $500 es-
Establishments valued at approximately $15000,-
600, 600, and these totals will be even larger
before the war is over
These investments which have been made
with the peoples money, could be a dead
loss, and contribute to the nations difficulty
in getting back on a sound financial footing,
must be safeguarded as zealously as the in
dividual business man protects his invest
ments. The Survey points out the need for
careful planning, lest more of the people,
money be thrown away, as so much has been
under the stress of war. 1T will be the diff
ficult task of the authorities charged with
disposal" it says, to redistribute the many
types of surplus property at such rates and
in such directions as will be most conducive
to two main detectives: first recovery of the
largest possible share of the government
original expenditure; second, maximum bene-
fit or minimum damage, to the general eco
nornic fabric of the nation
To put such a program into effect, it will
be necessary to have the advice of private
enterprise One way to assure failure would
be to place the program in the exclusive
hands of bureaucratic agencies.

Ace In The Hole

A wholesome change is taking place on the
farm. Farmers are growing wary of central
lied government control. After decade Of
trying to fit their existence to the dictates of
politics rather than natural laws, the farmers
are fed up Their attitude is best exemplified
in their battle against subsidies.
Farmers in the future are going to have to
depend upon themselves to an increasing ex-
tent in reaching sound solutions on agricultural
problems This does not mean that each farm
er will have to fight his battle alone. That
day is long past. He can now turn to such
farmer-owned business organizations as the
marketing cooperatives. The co-ops help him
sell his produce at fair price. They strive
to stabilize supply and demand while leaving
the farmer free to concentrate on the job of
production.
The marketing cooperatives will prove to be
the farmers ace in the hole when disillusion-
ment with super" government becomes COM
plete.

The Battle In Russia

Despite the great advances made by Rus
to be period Of retarded progress ahead with
Old Man Mud intervening on behalf of the
Germans. Russias winter has been compare
lively mild and already there are signs that
spring is at hand
When spring comes to Russia, travel is
practically impossible. Heavy rains and thaw-
ing earth raise as effectual barrier as if
impenetrable walls were reared everywhere.
For the most part roads are impossible and
fields are quagmires. The forces of Joseph
Stain cannot continue their irresistible sweep
forward. The Germans seem to be in for a
period during which they may consolidate
their lines
Furthermore, as the enemy has been draw
ing back his communication lines have shrunk
1t is easier for him to bring up supplies and
reinforcements to hold his positions. 1t is
reasonable to think that German resistance
will stiffen as spring advances and that the
Russians will be unable to do anything about
it until the mud dries.
There is another reason to believe that the
enemy will make another desperate attempt tc
halt the Russian attack when fighting weather
returns provided, of course, the Russians are
not able to carry on at the recent hard pace
and force capitulation despite the mud. II
is the growing fear of Germans for Russian
vengeance. They know that the Russians will
have life for life not merely an eye for
an eye. They know that once the Russians
have them on their knees every German act
of barbarism will be revenged. This fear will
spur German resistance as nothing else could.

Down And Also Out

After reScuing him in spectacular and
daring paratroop raid, the Germans can find
no way to use Mussolini, even for propaganda
purposes. The United States government an
alysis of his status attributes three reasons
for this: poor health, mental instability and
his complete deflation as symbol Of Italian
nationa1ism.
Mussolini's eclipse is illustrated most strong
ly by the things he has not done since his
rescue. He has not made a public appear
ance of any kind; he has not made speech,
except for the recorded broadcast of Sept. 10,
since his brief Palazzo VeneZia appearance
last May; he has granted only one interview,
and that to a German journalist he did not
attend the Verona Congress for the drafting
of a new Fascist program, nor did he speak
on the anniversary of the march on Rome
on Oct 3d. although his appearance had been
promised both times; and he took no part in
the celebrations of Axis solidarity held on
the Tripartite pact anniversaries Of Sept. q
and Dec. IL.
| 1t is difficult to imagine any man Of exalted
rank falling SO low. And his decline began
almost simultaneously with his escape Wher
he was captured last September, Nazi prop
agandists declared it was equivalent to g
major victory. They seemed intent upon max
ing use Of him as leader of the puppet Italian
tSocial Republic, But since then he has beer

Ickes' Pipe Line

Secretary Ickes, as may have been observed
before, is a determined gentleman-determin
ed to have his own way. Now he propose
to build that trans-Arabian petroleum pipe
line, whether the American petroleum indus
try wants it or not. AS pipelines are among
his favorite hobbies, his position is under
standable.
1t is possible that he is right for once. Blu
his blunders have been SO many it is only
natural to look askance at any proposal hi
advances. The New York Times explains thu
situation this way:
The statement made yesterday by Har-
old L. Ickes, Petroleum Administrator for
War and president of the Petroleum Re-
serves Corporation, that despite objec-
tons on the part of the oil industry and
others, he would proceed with the plans
for building the pipeline across Arabia
until he is stopped, is considered signfi-
cant. The fact that he made this state
ment after a luncheon with President
Roosevelt generally was taken as indicat-
ing that the project has the full approval
of the White House. The Petroleum In
dustry War Council also again attacked
the Arabian pipeline proposal n d de-
scribed it as a dangerous switch in the
United States foreign policy. In addition,
the PIWC called for the dissolution of
the PRO on the ground that its creation
was not approved by Congress and that
it is without funds specifically appropri-
ated by Congress. In view of the oppo-
sition developing to the plan, it is consid-
cred likely that the entire matter may be
the subject of Congressional investiga
ton. For some weeks the Senate has
been trying to start an investigation but
has not made much progress.

With Ernie Pyle

I it into two steel rings in the back.
Then two of them grab the bomb
and heave it up.
AS it rises, third gets under
it and lifts with his shoulders. The
two others put it into position.
It is good heavy heaving. Only
the rugged ones stay on as ar
morers. Now and then somebody
slips and a bomb falls on an ar
morer, but serious accidents are
rare.
After the bombs are clamped in
side the bomb bay, they put in
the fuses. The bomb has a steel
pplug in each end. The boys I'M
screw these plugs, and screw the
fuses into the hole. I never knew
before that our bombs had fuses
on both ends. I asked what it was
for. The boys said, so that if one
fuse didn't work the other one
would.
Each fuse has a little metal pro-
peller on it. When the bomb is
dropped the propeller starts whirl-
ing, and after dropping about 500
feet is unscrews itself enough to
become a plunger and "a7m'' the
bomb as they call it. Then when
the bomb hits the ground, this
plunger is forced back and the
bomb is discharged.
| There must, OF course, be some
guarantee that propellers don't get
to whirling inside planes. So the
boys take a piece of wire and fas-
ten it into the clamp from which
the bomb hangs. Then they run
each end of the wire through two
small holes in the propellers, thus
locking them.
When the bomb is released, this
wire remains fastened to the plane
and the ends slip out of the little
propellers, freeing them.
If the pilot has to salvo his bombs
over friendly territory, where he
doesn't want them to 90 off, he
can pull.a different lever which re-
leases the wire and lets it fall still
attached to the bomb, thus keeping
the little propelIers locked.
The armorer's job is really not
a hard one, except for this heavy
lifting which lasts only few min
utes a day. What disgusts armor-
ers the most is when the COM
mand keeps changing it's mind
about what kind of bomb load is
to he carried OF the next mission.
Sometimes they'll get an order
to bomb up with 500-pounders, then
it'll be changed to frag bombs, then
changed again to 250-pounders. On
every change they have to take
out the bombs and put in new ones.
The boys say the all-tine record
was one day when they changed
bombs IL times and it finally
wound up that the planes never
went out after all.

Sloan & Pearce; $2).
Although the reading public has
trouble persuading itself to read
tough, bitter books, perferring bak-
cry CONNECTIONS with pretty designs
by gentlemen like Ludwig Bemel-
mans, there is hope that enough
people will read Robert Sher-od S
'Tarawa" to make a dent in our
extraordinarily stubborn complac-
ency about this war. You can see
that Mr.. Snerrod hopes so, too,
The Japs had told the natives
of the Tarawa atoll that a million
Americans could not take Betio.

went over the island, once their
buddies had died to capture it, they
had the greatest respect for what
they found-one of the officers said
that he could have held off any
force with two battalions of Ma
rines. The Notifications were in
credibly strong, and cocoanut
palm trunks were the best of the
materials. Strong air support had
been, MIR. Sherrod points out, most
Ineffective against the little Gibral-

war can be won by the sacrifice
of a few pilots. For 70-odd hours
wave after wave of men struggled
toward our beachheads, died in
their struggle, and the few who
filtered through proved barely ,suf-
ficient to do the job. These few
ignored the stink of the dead and
kept going.
To Mr.. Sherrod, whose careful
and honest report of this great
operation is another of the small
pieces that will form the history
of Japanese defeat little later,
there was more than heroism at

Mavericks Platform

Maury Maverick, chairman and executive
ton, told New York audience the other
night that to meet the exigencies that may
develop in the postwar era 1--WE must plan
for implanted economy of free enterprise
that will fill the void and furnish work for
everybody seeking it,
He declared, as everyone knows, that big
business cannot exist without little business.
1t was the wiping out y Of small business in
Germany, following the last war that brought
first an economic collapse and secondly a
political collapse.
He told his audience that small business
is in perilous position and must have strong
backing by government to maintain its exist
ence,. but that free enterprise must be un-
molested. Obviously it is his view that gov
eminent must be helpful, but not dominating
A great public works program is essential,
but even more essential is a thorough under
standing between government and private en-
terprise. Mr.. Maverick, offered an eight
point platform which, he considers will as
sure diversification and decentralization of in
dustry with innumerable plants scattered
throughout the country. The planks in his
platform are:
1. Enforcement of antitrust laws
@ Elimination of cartels.
8. Financial assistance to small bust.
ness aided by present banking facilities.
f. Preference in ALLEGATIONS of materials
after the war.
S. No quotas on production of small
plants.
g. No curbs on business entry Of any
line it wishes
Z. First call on government-owned tools
and equipment.
8. Technical assistance in a manner
comparable to that given farmers by the
Department of Agriculture.
It was his conclusion, in connection with
postwar programs in general, that production
adjustments should be made during the war
that there is no reason to withhold civilian
goods output If materials and men are avail
able and it does not interfere with the wa,
effort.
More of this kind of clear thinking will
bring us to the day of peace with greater
