A JOLT TO PUBLIC CONFIDENCE

It is unfortunate that OPA saw fit to cancel without notice
the ration points the housewives had been so relgiously con-
serving. 1t was, in effect, the breaking of a contract. Millions
of women had been saving their points to use only If needed,
as they understood the points were good indefinitely. The per-
son who saved was therefore penalized.
On top of this, business suspension" orders were asked
by OPA for stores alleged to have sold goods in violation of
the new regulations, when the only information the stores had
on the sweeping changes was from news stories.
In specific cases in Portland, Ore, the attorney for food
stores said: Enforcement officials of the local OPA had pre-
yiously advised these operators that they were not being run
by the newspapers and that only their own releases were Of
ficial and that no changes were to be made until official notice
had been given by the OPA"
Such tactics seem to be an inevitable part of bureaucracy
which the people must endure as part and parcel of wartime
controls. The congressional investigation that is suggested may
in some measure restore public confidence. Facts rather than
secrecy are the most potent weapons in maintaining public
morale.

E MAN A HERO

Almost hourly, from every front, comes stories of American
heroism. There is an overall similarity in them. There is
crisis. American soldiers are facing overwhelming odds. L
is a case of run or fight. And always they fight.
Courage of the men at Bastogne held up the German drive
and played a big part in slowing down the offensive. One Of
ficer said the entire German army could hardly have overcome
those vaient Americans.
To tell the story of a single individual hero is to describe all
ef them. A typical example is 19year-old PFC Francis Curry
of Hurleyvine, N. Y. A German armored column, headed by
captured American tanks, rolled out of the mist and overran
antitank positions southwest of Malmedy. That left it up to
the d~oughboys to halt the German panzers, and halt them
they did.
Private Curry, using a bazooka, automatic rifle and gre
nades. DESTROYED tanks and halftracks, killed scores of Ger
mans, rescued his comrades imprisoned in a building, and
cared for wounded. He stopped fighting only when he had run
out of all kinds of ammunition. But the Nazis were stopped
cold.
Informed he would be given a military award for his
bravery and skill in handling the various weapons, he seemed
a bit annoyed. whats unusual about that?" he asked. Il
simply used the knowledge l had received in training" Not
q word about his own courage. 1t is the usual American ut
titude. Uncle Sam has in his armed forces 100000 actual
and potential heroes.
