The only real support given to the
German defense forces has been at Caen.
The British and the Canadians have
made a major effort to conquer that
town since the third day after their
landing
1t is true that the movements Of the
German reserves have been severely
handicapped by the Allied Air Force
But this advantage over the Germans
was taken into consideration when the
plans for the invasion were made.
At that time 1t was estimated that
with all our air superiority we would not
have been able to block entirely the
dispatching Of German divisions to the
most threatened areas
At one time the Nazi strength in
France was estimated at about go diw-
sions. About 40 divisions-600 900 men
were reported to be concentrated in the
eastern and western portions of the
country facing the two most probable
invasion points, Cherbourg and lie
Havre. The enemy's losses have been
heavy. 1t is safe to assume that at
least four divisions have been weakened
and will have to be reorganized. That
still leaves the enemy q sizable force
even If another three or four divisions
repeatedly trapped at Cherbourg are
completely lost.
Military men who bear the burden Of
responsibility for operations as i'm
portant as those now developing in
France cannot take political consider
ations into account. There have been
many rumors about what the German
armies would do if their general staff
decided that all hope for a stalemate
had gone. Gen. Eisenhower Is COM
PEELED to look at the. situation from the
strictly military point of view. This
shows that the Germans have at least
80 divisions able to tight, and his op-
ponents, Marshals Won Runstedt and
Rommel, are not the type of men who
give up easily.
Consequently, while our military lead
ers are fully satisfied with the success
obtained 50 far, they are not willing to
shout victory. There is a possibility
that the next few weeks will bring the
Allied forces into contact with the main
body of the Germans. At present the
enemy is maneuvering for better posi-
tion to counterattack. He is sacrificing
important strategic positions without
actually squandering his manpower. At
the same time he shows great stubborn
ness and ability to fight In areas which
the German high command wants to
hold

Price-ControI Compromise

The compromise worked out by
Senate and House conferees on the
Bankhead amendment to the price
control extension legislation. which
now needs only the Presidents
signature to become operative, is
clearly an improvement on the
measure originally adopted by the
Senate. In its first form, according
to the ONCE Of Price Administration
the amendment would have added
$3.50, 900 900 to the consuming pub
lies annual clothing bill and would
therefore have been seriously infia-
tionary. Under the revision, how
ever, there are expected to be only
relatively slight increases, limited to
a few cotton textile items.
Promoted by the OPA, the Office
of Economic Stabilization and the
once of War Mobilization, the COM
promise is setback for the OPA in
the sense that 1t provides that price
ceilings shall be limited to major"
products, whereas up to now the
OpA had merely to insure that the
general level Of prices for all cotton
textiles as a group reflected parity.
Under this system, items like denims
and chambray fell under parity, with
the result that the manufacture of
work clothes declined sharply, since
mills found 1t unattractive, from the
profit standpoint, to produce them.
Chief among other new provisions
in. the extension legislation is one
which permits merchant convicted
Of black market operations to seek
an injunction against orders depriv-
ing him Of rationed goods. The
wisdom Of this change Is highly
debatable, the OPA contending that
it strikes q heavy blow against en-
forcement of the law. On the same
ground, the OPA is opposed to an
other provision permitting price vio-
lators to defend themselves on the
claim that their acts were not will
full. While this unquestionably offers
added protection to deliberate
chiselers, much can be said for 1t as
fair protection for those whose viola
tions are wholly innocent and not
deliberate In intent. It should pre-
vent repetition Of incidents which
seemed highly arbitrary.
In several other respects, including
a provision to permit upward revi-
sions in rent ceilings where taxes
and other cost factors threaten to
work a hardship on landlords, the
legislation seeks to effect q more
equitable administration of present
controls. With the original Bank
head amendment II might have

Says Europe Needs Purge

To the Editor of The Star:
Are we to have another personal feud
of the Wilson-Lodge order to throw a
wooden shoe into the machinery for
peace? If the underlying aim is to
throw France into the arms of Russia,
1t may be bowling success. Something
of that kind may be in store anyway,
and 1t might be for ultimate good, as
what Europe throughout needs as much
as anything is purge such as the
Communists gave Russia, to wipe out
the last vestiges Of feudilistic control
OF the lives Of the people, and so ease
the way to real democracy affording
equality of opportunity and an even
spread Of the burdens of government.
WALTER N. CAMPBELL
Evening star., 1944-06-23

The manpower difficulties which are
besetting the German high command
are we'll illustrated by the character of
reinforcements which they are sending
to Italy. The latest arrivals, apparently
hurried over the Alps to provide some
sort of organized rear guards for the
l4th German Army when that army
was no longer able to cover its own re-
treat, appear to be the 10Th and goth
Luftwaffe Divisions and the 18th SIS
Division
These units were taken from Belgium,
Denmark and the Balkans, respectively.
Obviously the Germans have been
driven to the desperate expedient of
taking a little here and little there
in order to strengthen a crumbling
front in still another place. This Is a
process which, if long continued, will
result in a general weakness which can
not fail to be exploited.
The Italian campaign, meanwhile, is
going ahead rapidly, and it should not
be considered as mere side show" by
any means. In fact up to this time at
least the numbers of troops on both
sides in Italy is probably as great as
the numbers in Normandy, though our
air support in Normandy is much
stronger. Both in Normandy and Italy,
the enemvs land lines of communica-
ton have been severed or interrupted by
our air power thus isolating the battle
field, and within the cutoff area the
enemy has been engaged by powerful
Allied ground and air forces supported
by sea-borne lines of communication.
The Allies are cashing in on the
strategic feXibilty conferred on them
by the command of the sea, and the
Germans inside their seagirt Fortress
of Europe" are compelled to spread their
defending forces ever thinner.
The Germans in Italy appear to be
concentrating their defensive power
between Lake Trasimene and the
Tyrrhenian Sea. 1t is here that We are
encountering strong rear-guard actions
and even local counterattacks, such as
that which retook Chiusi on Wednesday
night. But it is also on this front that
the three reinforcing divisions have
made their appearance. Much is heard
OF the German retreat to the So-called
Pisha-Rimini line, sometimes described
as running from Carrara along the
southern slope OF the Etruscan Apen-
mines north of Lucca, Pistoja and Flor
ence. This line is in fact mentioned in
almost every dispatch from the italian
front, There seems to beta general belief

Congressional Recess

AS Congress prepares to recess
until after the political conventions,
about August l, it apparently will
dispose Of all but one of the press
ing problems confronting it.
That one piece of unfinished busi-
ness is the problem of providing for
orderly reconversion of Americas
great industrial machine to peace
time operation when the war ends,
which involves special unemploy-
ment benefits for workers during
the transition period, as well as the
disposal OF Government owned
plants and surplus materials. The
war contract termination bill put
through this week deals with only
one phase of the problem.
In the CT Bill of Rights Congress
has sought to meet the postwar
needs of those in the armed forces.
1t should move without delay after
this recess to ease the shocks of
readjustment on the home front
when the guns cease firing. If this
problem is settled by fall, probably
no harm will have been done. But
If the enemy should collapse sud-
denly, there would be little time to
debate the admittedly important
issues that enter into postwar re-
conversion legislation.
AS President Roosevelt empha-
sized yesterday in signing the GI
Bill of Rights, there Is still much to
be done and prompt action will be
essential when Congress reconvenes.
This is particularly true as regards
the eventual rehabilitation OF mil
lions OF civilian war workers. This
problem, will require cooperation
between the Federal Government
and the States on unified programs
designed to promote unemployment
in peacetime jobs and to provide
adequate unemployment compensa-
tion for those who can find no work
during the difficult weeks and
months OF industrial change-over.
The States rights issue. which
shaped the course of the soldier-vote
law early this year. may be a major
factor in providing special unen1-
ployment benefits. One school OF
thought favors Federal standards
that will provide fairly uniform
treatment OF workers throughout

expiration date, at which time 1t

Wants Prisoners 'Re-educated'

To the Editor OF The Star:
There are now within our own country
large numbers of prisoners of war of the
so-called "super-race" variety. The in
dividuals are tainted with the myth of
racism and the achievement of all things
wanted by brute force 1t seems to me
that their presence here affords an
excellent opportunity for re-education.
Thousands OF Germans, convinced of
the reality Of democracy and freedom,
upon returning to their native land,
could be the vanguard of reborn ma
ton among nations.

Writing in the Review Of Politics. a
quarterly published by Notre Dame
University. Stefan T. Possony, special
list in military affairs. warns against
hoping to preserve future peace by
placing confidence in either general
or unilateral disarmament.
Since general disarmament has no
support from any belligerent govern
ment, this one OF Mr.. Possony's points
hardly need be belabored. But unilat-
eral disarmament is, at present. uni
versally supported. At best, he says, it
is q short-range solution.
theoretically, it appears feasihle-it
Is just necessary. 1t seems. to watch
factories and imports. But, in practice,
there must be huge staff OF technical
ly and linguistically trained controllers
to supervise hundreds of thousands OF
factories-a staff dif1icult to gather and
so numerous that the selection stand
ards must inevitably be lowered, with
eternal danger of bribery and double
dealing added to inefnciency. The efiec-
tive control of a country's industry de-
mands that all its laws concerning COM
mercial secrets patents and expert
mentation must be abolished.
In Germany, at least, factories manu-
featuring arms were by no means ex-
clusively German-owned, yet they col
laborated with rearmament and would
have fought any REIMBURSEMENT OF
patents.
But Mr.. Possony makes deeper OBJ
servation. "A disarmed state Is an easy
prey to military force, II one OF the
armed countries should turn aggressor."
In our present state of mind, in which
our authorities speak Of "peace-loving"
nations as though they were permanent
categories, Mr.. Possony takes more in
telligent and historical view Wars are
caused both by the will to expansion
through aggression and by the oppor-
tunity for aggression. In history, II not
in wartime propaganda, nearly every
great power has been, at one time or
another. an aggressor. And in Euro
pean history the strongest power, mill
tarily and industrially, has invariably
been the aggressor. In the two wars of
this century German resort to arms has
