stroyed an important highway lead

While the OSS organization was
planned from the start, SACO
evolved out of an American Navy
mission sent to Free China shortly
after Pearl Harbor with the more
modest aim of establishing wealth
er-reporting network in Japanese
occupied China. So excellent was
the cooperation with the Chinese
secret service that the scope of &C
tivities for this joint undertaking
was soon enlarged to include all
forms of espionage and sabotage,
and the results were such that enor-
nous damage was inflicted on the
Japanese invaders, contributing no
tably not only to the success of
Sino-American operations in China
itself but also to American sea and
air campaigns in the entire Far
Eastern theater.

World War II

President Wilson officially desig-
mated the name of the war which
ended with the 1918 armistice "The
World War" President Truman has
followed suit by adopting former
Secretary Stimson's recommended
ton that the war just closed be
known as World War H." That is
far better than to try to give it an
artificial title which denotes some
symbolism. In spite of emotional
suggestions to the contrary, the
invasion remained "the invasion"
and not "the liberation" President
Roosevelt liked the idea of War of
Survival" back on April IA, 1912
but in view of the atomic bomb the
title might prove, a few years hence.

About the same time a lady in
Australia urged that the name be

already coming up now as to what
people she was talking about. A
man in Tennessee, in the summer
of 1912, achieved aeeting notoriety
by suggesting "Tyrants' War" to the
President, but nothing ever came
of it. One may hope that Mr.. Slim

Our Secret Armies

Perhaps the most intriguing as
pect OF any postwar period is the
disclosure of carefully guarded mill
tary secrets. We are already getting
well into the now it-can-be-to told"
phase, and the most dramatic story
to date is that of the "Cloak-and-
Dagger Outfit" marshaled and oper-
ated by the Office of Strategic Serv-
ices. simultaneously, the Navy De-
partment has lifted the lid on a
similar "hush hush" organization
which it built up in coordination
with the Chungking government
under the cryptic name of SACO.
Both these secret armies fought
the enemy behind his lines on every
battle-ground of World War Two. In
the aggregate they numbered many
thousands of dauntless individuals,
specially selected and trained for
espionage, sabotage and encourage
ment OF local patriotic resistance
movements in lands conquered by
the Axis. Operating in small groups,
their task was as manifold as it was
ubiquitous. Everything which might
injure the enemy was included in
their instructions, and the amount
of Invaluable information they gath
cred was matched by the destruction
they wrought. They reached their
posts in many ways, ranging from
parachute drops to landings from
submarines, small craft and air.
planes on hidden fields. In the later
stages of the European war, the re-
sistance movements were supplied
and equipped by parachuted pack
ages aggregating thousands of tons.
As the OSs report correctly sum-
marizes: "For the first time in our
military history, an American Army
fought on untried fronts with novel
tactics"
OF course, every member Of that
clandestine army, operating in dis
guise, was spy under the code OF
war, and as such subject to execu-
ton If captured. Their contingent
fate was rendered more grim by the
German practice OF handing them
over to the Gestapo for torture in
order to extract information from
them before they faced the firing
squad. And many hundreds did meet
death in just that manner. One out
standing instance Is that of cap
] tain, caught, tortured and killed by

Fried Potatoes

There are admittedly differences
OF opinion about it. In land where
men have been known to sprinkle
sugar over baked beans one is not
surprised at anything. On the other
hand, it is difficult to reconcile the
lntransigency of the minority re-
garding the fundamentals of such
an important dish as fried potatoes.
BY and large countrymen agree
that the best fried potatoes are
made from new potatoes. A farmer
usually plants couple of rows very
early. If a frosty night occurs, it is
only a matter of a few minutes to.
pull soft soil over the young plants.
BY the first of September new DO
tatoes are at their best. There is
nothing wrong with boiled potatoes,
milk gravy and fried salt pork for
noon meal when a man comes in
from the field. But it is the fried
potatoes for supper that really hit
the spot.
The best fried potatoes are made
in an iron spider on a wood burning
stove. After a few slices of bacon
have been fried crisp and broken
into small pieces and the surplus
fat drained off and the spider is hot
and sizzling, the cold, previously
boiled potatoes are sliced into the
waiting receptacle Then the house
wife moves the spider back a bit on
the stove, puts cover on it and
forgets it while the mass heats
through. About the time farmer
is stripping the last COW, she takes
of front cover and puts the spider
over the heat. In a few minutes
the slices are brown and crisp. No
matter If some of the small pieces
are hard and crunchy. That is all
to the good. As a man comes in
from his chores he smells that rich,
satisfying fragrance before he gets
to the kitchen. Fried potatoes with
few pieces of yellow cornmeal
bread, plenty of grape Jelly and
sweet chutney, plus applesauce and
chocolate cake and two glasses of
rich, cold milk, make an excellent
September supper.

Congress and the Druft

In shelving a proposal to revise
the draft law so as to restrict in
auctions to men in the 21-throuph-
Is age group, the Senate Military
Affairs Committee has wisely re-
Trained from acting prematurely in
a situation still so fluid that no one
can be certain how it will be a few
months from now.
AS advocated by Chairman Thomas,
the proposal would have eliminated
teen-agers and twenty year olds
from the draft, cutting off a key
source OF manpower on the assump-
ton that occupation and other
needs could be met through volun-
tary enlistments, while demobiliza-
ton proceeded at a progressively
faster pace. In rejecting this, how
ever, the committee, with Senator
Thomas himself conceding the va
lldlty of the point. has been guided
by the fact that it is too early as
yet to assume anything until we see
just how many volunteers can be
recruited.
Accordingly, instead of acting to
change the Selective service law,
the committee has voted to report
favorably the House approved bill
on voluntary enlistments. Known
as the red apple" bill because of
its attractive inducements, its chief
provisions include mastering out
pay for men now in service who en-
list, flve-centsa-mile travel allow
ance for those granted furloughs on

dependents, benefits of the CT Bill

stead OF the present thirty. The
committees version differs from the
House bill in only one respect. The
House fixed the minimum enlist

who have served six months or
more, but the Senate measure raises
this to eighteen months.
This change, which has been rec

still be made to limit or end selec-

legislation now pending is certainly
fair and generous and merits prompt
passage. After that, we should be
able to know what to expect from
voluntary recruitment, and once we
are clear on that point, Congress

IT we are to build new world which

about the faults of the old world.
