Bavaria To Get Along
Without Any Nazi Help

MUNICH, Germany, Sept. 3o.-(P
DIR. Wilhelm Hoegner, in his first
press conference as Minister Presl-
dent of Bavaria, promised today
that Nazis would be quickly re-
moved from office.
1--WE can do very well without
any Nazis,' he said.
Hoegner was placed in office as
the upshot of Gen. George S. Pat
tons press conference a week ago
when the Third Army commander
expressed the view it was neces-
sary to retain some Nazis in Of
flee for the sake of efficiency.
Hoegner's predecessor, whose re.
signation had been hanging fire,
was ousted after Gen. Eisenhower
summoned Patton to a conference.

MANILA, -4RNNot until you
leave Honolulu does the real vast
ness of the Pacific strike you with
full force. If you've spent most OF
this war at home or in the Euro
pean or some other war theater,
you've always considered the Ha-
waiian islands as sort Of in the
middle of things out here.
Even flying in fast C-54 trans
port plane it takes IL or IS hours
to reach Honolulu from the west
coast and that makes it seem far
out to sea, but that's just the be-
ginning. Then you fly for hours,
hours and hours. It is 4,600 nau-
tical miles from Honolulu to Ma
nila. That would be about the same
as flying all the way across the
United States and then halfway
back again.
That's if you 60 directly to Ma
nila. You don't go direct, of course,
because it would mean nonstop
flight and require to heavy a load
of gasloine.
Sometimes you 60 by way OF
Johnston Island, Kwajalein and
Guam. Sometimes you hit only the
latter two stops, which was the
itinerary of our plane. Counting
the stopovers for refueling, it may
take as much as 80 hours to fly
from Honolulu to Manila. And SO
per cent of the time there's nothing
to look at but endless reaches OF
sky and sea. So eventually you
sleep, night and day.
That's the way you cross the
Pacific by air nowadays. You sleep
your way across, but every now
and then you start wide awake and
sit or lie there thinking guiltily OF
the trem endous debt you owe those

bases making possible your placid
crossing. And then, soon, you sleep
again.
Circling over some of the Mari
anas Islands as you reach and
leave Guam makes you put pieces
Of your history and geography to-
gether-and you wonder how in
Gods green earth we ever had the
faintest hope of holding that island
if war came to the Pacific.
We captured Guam the morning
Of June 20, 1898, before its people
even knew that the Spanish-Amer-
lean War was on. It was the only
island in the entire area that we
kept when the war ended in 1899.
We let Germany buy the rest OF
the Marianas and all the Carollnes
from Spain for $4.500,000.
With the outbreak of World War
One, the japanese took possession
of the German Marianas and in
1920 Japan was allowed to control
the Caroline and Marshall Islands
under a League Of Nations Man.
date.
Guam thus was isolated amidst
japanese possessions, and had
such pitifully small garrison-not
that a far bigger one would have
done much good in that position
that the Japanese didn't even
bother with it for the first three
days of the war.
When you look at its location you
don't wonder that the battle for
Guam on Dec. 10, 1941, was only
a matter of hours and that the
whole occupation was completed in
that one day.
Then you remember that to pre-
pare to regain Guam we had to
fight the bloody battle of Saipan
next door "a month-1ong struggle
that was one of the Pacific Wars S
bitterest-and the battle of Tinian
and Lord only knows how many
battles on other little islands and
atolls in the area.

Finds Pacific An Endless
.Sea-And Nothing Worth Looking At

be a Monday morning quarterback,
YOU know what we should have
known long years ago: namely,
that Guam can never stand alone,
that we must control the Mar
shalls, the Carolines and the Ma
rianas, or never mess around
out there at all.
You hope that Pacific peace
makers back home realize that if
we ever again put one isolated
American garrison out here it will
be like setting little Lord Faunt-
leroy in the middle of the Dead
End Kids and leaving him on his
own.
Another thing impressive about
Guam is it's visual evidence of
Americas magnificent supply
prowess in the Pacific. Despite the
terrific distances detailed in this
column earlier, conveys travelling
perhaps an average of $50 miles
per day have placed literally mil
lions of pieces of equipment on this
island.
Superhighways built by Army
and Navy engineers are jammed
"a hours daily like roads leading
into New York. And this is after
Admiral Nimitz has moved his
headquarters back to Pearl Har-
bor, thus taking huge percentage
of the traffic away.
All along those roads for miles
and miles are stacked acres OF
food, equipment and supplies-all
transported thousands Of miles
across the Pacific.

to kick around:

 Q ptin1istic

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 31-(UP)
 %Or at least two years after the war, American industry will have to employ virtually every available worker to catch up on the produc- tion of civilian goods. Harvard economist Sumner H. Slichter pre- dicted today.
 The 100000 veterans and war workers, who will be looking for new jobs, will be none too many to supply the needs that have mount cd steadily since Pearl Harbor, he told the United Press in an inter- view.
 Slichter'S optimistic postwar arith- . metic looks like this:
 1. More than 800 articles, in- cluding household appliances such as washing machines and vacuum and industrial equipment, have been out of civilian production for almost three years and 1t is req sonsonable assumption that pur- chases will be double those of l94O.
 2. A high proportion of the T. 100000 war-married couples have yet to buy their furniture, and this number is likely to be increased by a postwar marriage boom similar to that of 1920.
 3. These married couples will re- quire housing facilities, of which there is already an 800.000-unit shortage.
 4. Americans will have only 21,- 100000 automobiles and will want probably 34,00O,00 while the radio shortage will equal two-years' pro- duction at the pre-war rate.
 These are just few of the things that the people will want and will have plenty of money to buy" Slichter explained. During the past four years, individuals have plenty of money to buy" 6lichter explained. During h past four years, individuals have saved. in war bonds and otherwise. as much as they ordinarily would in IA years.
 Some, if 1t is true, may hold out for the widely publicized dream products, but I look for most peo- pie to spend heavily as soon as goods become available. This does not mean, though, that buyers will reach for goods at fancy prices"
 For the serviceman in search of a job, Slichtcr sees 8 bright out look
 The chances are excellent that plenty of jobs will be waiting for them," he said "The task of help ing them to become established in industry should not be difficult. Be- sides, many of the veterans will have learned new occupational skill1 in the service, and will be considerably more valuable to em- ployers."
 AS the accumulated demand for goods subsidies, the nation must de pend on expansion of industrial construction and residential build ing to prevent a falling off in em- ployment. according to the Harvard economist. Tn his own words:

 Radcliffe said such plan would assure Wallace's opponents that he would not get control over the loan agencies though a presidential veto of the George bill after Wallace is confirmed.
 Senator Lister Hill of Alabama, who acted as administration leader In Barkley's absence, said there was no foundation in rumors that the Wallace nomination would be with drawn. And Pepper termed such & move bad psychology and an ad- mission of weakness"
 The opposition expressed fear that If Wallace were confirmed even after passage of the George bill, the President might still build the former vice president into a power full home front figure by transfer ring other agencies to the Com merce Department through execu- tive order.

Spots Worn By Jonitor
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, Jan. 3l-UP) If congress has time to worry about janitors with manicures, then, by all the scrub brushes on Capital Hill, have, too.
 You should see some of those janitors who don't janit. One of em wears q wing collar to work Another sports spats. But I better begin at the beginning: Rep. John J. Cochran of Missouri introduced a resolution providing, among other things. $1 ,560 per annum to pay the janitor of the Committee on Un- American Activities.
 Up jumped Rep. Albert J. Engel of Michigan to demand, why?
 What does the janitor do?" he cried. "Tn looking over the legisla- tive bills I found something like 90 janitors on the payroll. Little com mittees like the Committee on the Territories have janitor do not know what the janitors do, or why the committees have to have them Why spend the money for jan itors?"
 Rep. Cochran said he did not know what they do, either, but that he believed they must keep the com- mittee rooms clean.
 Some committees meet only once or twice year, Rep. Engel coun- tered, and still they have janitors. He said the Committee on Territor- ies sprinkled cigar ashes on Its rug only three times last year.
 This, said Rep. Cochran, was not his fault.
 But I do blame the gentleman because he brings out resolution here, providing for another jani- tor" Rep. Engel replied.
 Every other committee has jan itor, Rep. Cochran insisted, and this one not only has some large rooms to sweep, but files to keep clean. No excuse, snapped Rep. Engel.
 Rep. Edward J. Hart of New Jer- sey said he agreed with Rep Engel about janitors in general. But" he added, If there is one committee that I know of that does need & janitor. 1t is this committee"
 He ought to know because he is the chairman of this new committee successor to the Dies committee, He said he never did see so many cases, cabinets and files of docu- ments to be kept clean.
 T have lot of filing in my office" " Rep. Engel said, "and do not have a ianitOr to do it."
 T say" Hart retorted, that If there is any committee in his house for which a .lanitor can be justified 1t is this one"
 Cochran moved that the bill be passed and 1t was, with nobody much objecting, except Rep. Engel and myself. l didn't have a vote, but l did stroll over the caVerns beneath the house office buildings and there I found some janitors. can't quote 'em because they might get fired, but I can report that the congress men have large janitorial staff to keep their offices clean.
 The official congressional janitora never touch broom to committee room which has it's own private janitor, unless said specialist slips an ordinary, garden variety janitor a couple of bucks to do his work for him.
 So 1t is that many committee janitOr keeps his fingernails pol ished, never sullies his hands on q mop, and sits at q mahogany desk. looking important. I am fair man and must report that some of these janitors functions as messengers. Some do the work of clerks.
