c. I. Complaint
(Washington Post)


 It is a very dangerous view of the home front which the Army newspaper Stars and Stripes has set before its servicemen readers. We doubt that it reflects the thinking of any great number among them. Everything for the front said the service publication editoriay doesn't have the same ing in the U. s. A. in the U. s. S. R." As nearly as we can determine from the excerpts available us the burden of the editorial was that civilians in America enjoying lush comforts while soldiers endure bitter prvations in the combat theatres The contrast s of course perfectly real It could indeed, be made even more elementary Civilians in America live not only comfortably but safely while soldiers on the firing line must face the constant peril of death
 But would the in uniform really want us here at home live in danger to strip living to it's bare essentials? Would they be better able endure the rigors of their life everything for the front had the same meaning in the U. $. A. as in the U. s. S. R., where an enemy invader has de- vastated the land and heroic defenders have applied stern scorched-earth policy? The war has exacted prodgious sacrifices from the Russian people But was not precisely to prevent such sacrifices in America that our young have taken up battle stations in distant portions of the world? For more of them this has been a primary purpose.
 It is understandable enough that men exposed to freezing cold the front should feel resentment at pictures of garbed in expensive furs at home But the Stars and Stripes does them very poor service indeed when it directs their resentment at the women If troops do not have proper clothing
 
 door of their commanders For nothing the Army has asked has been denied. The service publication acknowledged this in saying "The folks at home have given all they've been asked for It's just that they haven't been asked for enough" That is scarcely the fault of the folks at home It is the fault of those empowered to define the Armys needs
 We call the editorial in the Stars and Stripes dangerous because it aggravates cleavage between civilians and men in uniform. And that cleavage, if it widens, prove disastrous when the time comes for the men in uniform to resume civilian status The notion prevalent among servicemen that civilians failing to meet their responsibilities is for which the Army itself has considerable re- sponsibity. The generals have too often blamed American labor for shortages in weapons and SUD- plies which accurately attributable to their own faulty planning and their own wasteful use of manpower and scarce materials. There has been defautng among the rank and file at home than among the rank and file on the fighting fronts. That is something the soldiers ought to know They must learn it if to have the unity requisite to our postwar needs.

SIXTH WAR LOAN RECORD

Daily and weekly newspapers in the Sixth War Loan Drive once again exhibited their patriotism in establishing new record for editorial and advertising support which was in excess of 190000000 lines
 The most outstanding contribution to the drive was the editorial and support given by the nations daily newspapers More than 27OooO00 lines Of editorial and news space devoted to the War Bond drive in December tmore than that contributed to any previous drive) 100000 lines of this total was the front pages This record was estab- lished in spite of rigid newsprint restrictions and heavy volume of important in that month.
 The newsprint shortage and the resulting ration ing of advertising space in many newspapers was undoubtedly the for the total volume of daily newspaper advertising in support of the drive falling below the tremendous volume of the Fifth Drive. Total newsprnt consumption in December was 5.7 per cent below that for December, 1943 and 25 per cent below the base year of 194 In spite of this the daily. newspapers carried 80579 advertisements of more than 100 lines each totaing 51,l50,380 lines. In addition ll30064 lines of advertising carried in the less than 100-line category.
 Weekly newspapers set new mark for them selves by carrying 93,OOOOOO lines of advertising in

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY. MARCH 2


 Good and evil aspects seem to con- tend in the planetary outlnok fol today. IL IS a lucky date for sigr- ing contracts.
 Heart And Home
 Nurses come under sway that that promises special fame for them as well as special demands upon them. High military rank will be bestowed on many and the profes- sion will gain greatly in national es- teem and financial rewards.
 Business Affairs
 There are indications of a swing in the trend of trade and commerce this Spring, with an upward move ment of stocks and an inevitable postwar boom. Wise businessmen will be conservative in their activ- ities.
 National issues
 Problems affecting labor will be more complex than in the past. Re- luctant employment in the war in- dustries will cause unrest and dis content among many workers who fail to give what is best of themr selves in tasks assigned to them.
 International Affairs
 Italy will present a desperate sit uation as efforts to rehabilitate the nation are promoted by United Na- tions' aid. Malnutrition and insan- itary conditions will cause a high death rate through the Summer. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of success. Voyages for men and women are in- dicated.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be lucky. Pisces folk are like ly to be high-strung and sensitive but talented and well-poised

UNAMERIAN DEBATE

Last week was not the first time Mississippi's Rankin, now dubbed 'titular leader of the Republican Party" has approached near fist-fight with colleague.
 Rankin and Representative En- anuel eller of New York nearly came to blows in the House lobby not long ago just after Rankin delivered a blast against Jewish dentists and physicians.
 Cellar had charged that the Am erican Dental Association was seek ing quotas for Jewish dental stu dents. Rankin jumped up to con- plain: T am tired of the gentle man from New York raising the Jewish question ill the House."
 He defended the Dental Associa- tion, charged that Jewish physi- clans were making a racket of civil service rolls, said they predomi- mated in Veterans Hospitals. Rankin went on to hurl the per- sonal charge against Celler that he was a major cause of anti i-Semitism in this country.
 Three times during Rankins harangue, Celler arose to term the Mississippian's words false" "un- fair" and outrageous"
 But in the House lobby, shortly after the speech, Rankin began blue-penciling the transcript, cut ting out not only his words but also Celler's.
 Don't you cut my remarks out of there" protested Celler. T want my remarks to stay in"
 Keep away from me-" growled Rankin. This is my business not yours. You act right on the floor and we won't have any trouble"
 Celler started to protest again. but Rankin shouted. Now you stop looking over my shoulder" :" and arose from his chair threaten ingly.
 Celler warned that he would rectify anything Rankin cut from the record, and stalked off.
 Note - When Representative Michael Edlestein of New York re- piled to one of Rankin's outbursts four years ago, he became so ex- cited he died of heart attack as soon as he left the House chamber.

to get rid of cost-plus contracts. These contracts mean labor hoard ings. Management doesn't have to worry about the cost and doesn't care how much money it spends on labor.
 Three, there has been no real effort to conduct manpoWer propaganda campaign on a national scale. We have had local ballyhoo campaigns in Allentown, Pennsyl- vania, and Newark, New Jersey, but those cities are already sat urated. I am convinced that there are enough patriotic people in the United States who will be glad to take jobs in various communities and that we can find them if we conduct a nation wide educational campaign.
 Pour" Johnston went on, 'the government has got to tell the public the truth. We've got to quit saying the war is about over When Winston Churchill comes out as he did last summer and says the war will be over in l944, or when Gen. Eisenhower says the same thing, naturally the American people believe them. We heard testimony yesterday of four tre- mendous losses If those are the facts the American people should ]. know them. They are able to face the facts and they will work harder if they are informed. If certain West Coast Navy yards are full of damaged ships, then the Ameri- can public will be glad to get more men to repair those ships.
 Finally" said J o hns ton, we must strengthen the War Man. power Commission We've got to give it more power to enforce labor rulings We should give it power to go into a plant and survey what labor is being used, and then en- force it's rulings to prevent hoard ing Until those things are done, Johnston concluded, T am against the Work-or- Fight Bill
 Johnston found considerable SUD- port for his views It came from farm groups as well as labor ano industry on the War Mobilization board.

 This was a discreet way of ask ing the representatives of the Army the Navy, and the Administration to leave so board members coulc talk privately After the Army anc Navy bowed out, Patton sad:
