Muzzled Telephones

The Rural Telephone Administration is leading the telephone industry around by the nose in planning to make hun dreds of millions of dollars of public funds available for new pole lines to accommo- date wires to connect with rural families so they can have telephones. Just as though AT and T. didn't have plenty of money for every purpose.
 The telephone monopoly gives the best service of all organizations, far superior to the postal system. It is doubtful whether any of the existing restrictions on telephones are necessary But there is lot of conversation used up in advis- ing people When and how long to use the telephone.
 In World War I the Government took over the telephone system and set the monopoly back so far that it hasn't stood up straight since At that time telephone executives practically scrapped their in- dependence. The Government Rural Telephone Administration is leading the Government protected telephone monop- oly around on a string-or maybe by wire made possible because the private company" has kept the hush-hush on constructive, competent public rela- tions" for so many years that the brass hats in Washington have wire conversa- ton completely under control.

for the first time, it was largely an animal fat and imported vegetable oil product. Today, it's different, but suspicious die slowly. Modern vitaminized margarine is essentially all American-made from pure vegetable ailS and swim milk from Amer ican farms. The trend toward American grown oils started in 1884 when The Best Foods, manufacturer of Nucoa, marketed the first margarine made exclusively from hofe-grown vegetable oils. Since that time over 95 per cent of the mar garines on the market have adopted the use of American grown oils, thereby giv- ing our farmers new and profitable market for their product.
 It is interesting to note the tremendous amount of these oils used. For instance, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914, 236, ,393,734 pounds of cottonSeed oil went into the manufacture of margarine as well as O3,367, 1928 pounds of soya bean oil The use of corn oil increased during that year with total of 9,471 ,574 pounds used Milk is also a major ingredient with 103,615,017 pounds used in the same period. The American farmer has a larger stake in margarine's future than he may have imagined.

Dangerous Blank Check

A valuable offshoot of the Jesse Jones' Henry Wallace controversy was the air ing, during hearings on the George Bill, of a startling example of government by men, rather than by law, in the opera tions of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and it's subsidiary agencies. Apparently it even startled some of the congressman to hear MT. Jones catalog his wide discretionary powers as REC director And they couldn't point any accuring fingers elsewhere, for it was they themselves and thir predecessors who had granted MT. Jones these powers.
 The REC director summed them up tersely: "To make loans in any amount, for any length of time, at any rate of in- terest, to anybody" He had to come to Congress for money, and the trusting Congress seems always to have responded with a blank check. And not until the war, it appeared, was presidential ap- proval required on REC activities, and then only on major war items.
 Congress- trust in MT. Jones was well placed. He and his REC associates are men of integrity. They operated the agency honestly and at a profit, and with no hint of scandal. It is fortunate for the country that they did But that is no reason why the RFC's structure, with it's present looseness, temptation and poten- tial danger, should not be altered by Con- gress and put on sensible, responsible basis-Whoever is running it.

Views Of The Press
CALL FOR STUDENT NURSES
(Hartford TimeS)

AS cogently set forth in a letter elsewhere on this page, there is urgent need for more student nurses in the hospital training schools The war has drawn heavily on registered nurse personnel and will continue to need more nurses as battle casual ties mount. Recruitment of student nurses has become an essential ac- tivity to help fill the great gaps ln the ranks of trained nurses.
 The plea is for qualified appli- cants. It needs to be remembered that nurse e-training schools have certain educational standards which are necessary for modern tech niques in treatment and nursing. Certain studies, chemistry, for ex- ample are very pertinent to gooc nursing. While a kind heart is great asset in a nurse, that alone is not enough. Willingness to work hard through long hours is an ad- mirable qualification but, that, too, is not enough. There needs to be a clear understanding of the reasons for the nursing methods that are used if they are to be satisfactorily mastered
 Because of these necessary educa- tional qualifications, it would be a great help if high schools cooper ated in this mater by offering courses for girls which would help them to qualify for nursing train ing. Teaching such courses also offers an opportunity to stress the importance of choosing nursing career, particularly at this time when the nurse has become an in- dispensable person on both the war and home fronts.

The War That Had to Wait

It is natural that most of us should be absorbed in the titanic battle against the NaZi military machine. This struggle has top priority in Americas two wars. It is being fought on land which was the native or ancestral home of many Ameri- cans, and which is familiar to many other American travellers. It engages the greater portion of our armed strength But this absorption should not cause us to forget how Superbly planned and fought have been the campaigns which have now placed American soldiers on the road to Manila. This is the war that had to wait until Hitler was beaten. It has been marked by some brilliant and spectacular victories. But between those victories has been lot of hard, bloody unSpec- tacular plodding which some people con- temptuously called island hopping" They criticized this strategy with an un- derstandable lack of intelligence because it was new kind of technique in new kind of war. That technique was the answer of wise and courageous military leaders to problems of an unprecedented, discouraging magnitude. It was tech nique that had to be improViSed as the liberation of Oceania progressed. And 1t was not achieved without some hard and painful lessons.
 Yet there evolved from those lessons methodical, dependable means of ascend ing the great island ladder toward Japan = first the grip of air power, then the grip of sea power, and finally the upward step by the invading land forces. And then the whole process repeated, island by island.
 Even the least perceptive of us arm chair Strategists began to see the pattern and purpose of this maligned island hop ping" some time ago. It moved our forces closer to Japan along a route which enabled our ships and planes to threaten more and more of Japan's SUD- ply line from her new and shrinking empire And it allowed us to isolate and cancel the effectiveness of several strong Jap outposts without occupying them. The road to Tokyo will certainly grow rougher as it grows shorter The men under General MacArthur have yet to meet the bulk of Japan's formidable army, though they know from samples of savage fighting what they can expect. There will undoubtedly be setbacks and diSappointments
 But it is significant that with the odds against them, our forces have sui fered delays but no defeats since they started their journey back to the Philip pines from Guadalcanal in August, 1922. They have consistently outclasSed the enemy in the air and on the sea- They have learned his tricks of jungle fighting and turned them against him. So while our attention still centerS on the battle of Germany it is well to reserve a good measure of our admiration for the way in which the war that had to wait has been planned and fought up to now.

Japan's Totalitarian Party

American monitors picked up an inter eSting wireless dispatch the other day from the Domei News Agency to it's clients in the hinterlandS. It revealed that totalitarian political party is in the process of formation in Japan. Probably the dispatch was little puzZling to most Americans who read it. Isn't Japan to- talitarian already? Isn't the Jap method about the same as the German-com- plete government control, complete obe- dience, complete regimentation of thought, speech and action? The answer seems to be: Fundamentally, yes; super ficially, no. The chief difference seems to be that fiction of free speech and representative government still exists in Japan. There was a general election in 1942. Several independent members were elected to the Diet, although the Imperial Rule Assistance Political Society tried to nominate all the candidates. On the same day the new totalitarian party was announced, Premier Koiso had ap- peared in the lower house of the Diet and heard some sharp criticism of 1nadquate plane and munitions production from its members. The session read like one of Mr. Churchill's heated set-to's in Con- mons, or an uninhibited debate in our own NOllS
 But the Japanese version of free speech in wartime doesn't mean much. The Diet can blow off steam, but it can't do much about government policy or conduct ot the war It can't remove the cablnet. About the strongest action it can take is to refuse to approve the budget-if 1t dares. The Japanese government IS largely run from behind the scenes by military men and leaders of big business and industry. Representatives of TRAPS and it's parent organization, the Imperial Rule Assistance Association, may sit in on the councils, but theirs are not the decisive voices. Japanese political parties can't be compared with our Democrats and Republicans, nor with the Nazl or Fascist type of party. In Germany, ot course, the Nazi party is the German government. It is most unlikely that any totalitarian party in Japan will have even shadow of the NaZi organizations power.
 What then will the new Jap party ac- complish? Perhaps it will help to bolster Koisos position, which suffered blow when we landed in the Philippines as Too's did when we landed on Saipan. 1t may be designed to unify public opinion and to suppress criticism. Or perhaps it's chief aim is to tighten up some loose and devious operations of the Jap war machine Certainly the parliamentary shakeup is one reflection of Japan's con- sciousness of her growing peril But we should be foolish if we tried to see in it an indication of panic or desire for peace.

OVERCOATS FROM COOLERS
(New York Herald-Tribune)

tNeW YOrk f1eTdlu- 1IlUullc)
 At time when the north wind is aggressive and the snow invades, when there is a mounting wool shortage and the first dandeiion is a far-off golden dream, it is warm encouragement to hear that sci ence is planning to prfoducc a lot of just -as-good" wool out of pea nuts-thus giving Georgia rating equal, perhaps, to Montana as the source of overcoats and long under wear From London recently, 1m- perial Chemical Industries, Ltd, an- nounced the successful development, after 10 years of experimenting, of "ardil," synthetic wool fiber made from peanuts. Ardil is to have all the cold-resisting qualities of pure wool right off the sheep, and the new fabric will be moth proof.
 This new use for the great Amer ican goobers (first brought to Amer lea from Africa in the days of the slave trade) opens vast possibili- ties. Schoolboys fond of peanut

Edible Fats Shortage Again

America faces definite wartime scare ity of fats. Action of the Office of Price Administration in resuming rationing of lard, other shortening and salad and cook ing oils after three-day retail freeze" emphasizes again the extent of the short age of edible fats, which are so essential nutritionally. It also underlines the con- tinuing effect of prejudice that his ex- isted since World War I.

Frau HimmIer Shrugs
Al News Of His Death
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated fress.
NEW YORK, July 13.-The
American Broadcasting Co. reported
from Rome yesterday that Frau
Heinrich Hinmler was told for the
first time of her husbands arrest
and suicide and merely shrugged her
shoulders and asked, Can 1t be
true?"
The widow showed no emotion
over the German Gestapo chiefs
death, or the crimes of which he
was accused.
Frau Himmler said absolutely
yes" that she was Nazi party
member and that she knew the
Nazis had a concentration camp at
Dachau land I often went there
for Strawberries" OF her husband,
she said:
II knew he ordered traitors and
criminals executed. Before the war,
people in the world thought highly
of him. After the war began, he
was hated and despised by many"
Frau Himmler and her 15-year-
old daughter were taken into Gus
tody by American troops several
weeks ago in the Austrian Tyrol.
She said she last saw Himmler in
September and that he already
thought Germany had lost one
phase of the war "but he also felt
the war would continue with Russia
on one side and England and the
United States on the other"
