Young Soldiers
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Responding to Congressional criticism of the Army policy which permitted the death in battle overseas of a number of l8-year- boys, Gen. George c Marshall Chief of Staff of the U. s. Army says that N)-He made no promise that 18-year-olds would be trained for at least year but on the contrary opposed any such restrictions Army training plans (2)Wherever possible the War Department has tried to treat the 18-year- soldiers as special group in view of the understandable attitudes of the families involved and where they have been sent into battle as replacements it was result of military needs.
 General Marshalls views, expressed in letter to Ohio members of Congress, may or may not con- clude the discussion. Perhaps some good will have been achieved however if the matter does reimpress upon the Department the feeling of the American people that the younger soldiers should be given thoroughly adequate training before they are sent into combat against enemies who seasoned veterans at the business of killing.
 The issue was raised in Washington with Pvt. Robert R. Pogue son of John c. Pogue, prominent Cincinnati merchant cited an instance Eighteen year-od Private Pogue killed in action February B. little more than month after he left for overseas The youth entered service last June.
 The members of Congress from Cincinnati knew young Pogue personally were shocked at his death, and perhaps only natural that his name figured in the inquiries to the War Department We think it should be noted somewhere in the record, however that Mir and Mrs. Pogue made no protest when thelr son was sent oveseas to combat nor did they 1nStl gate the criticism of the War Department which has followed his death. They accepted for him. ana TOT themselves the dreadful chances of war and the bitter lot that has come to many thousands of American families On the battlefield, young Robert Pogue had time to contribute ttle-except his life. In death it is to be hoped he may be the medium of re- emphasizing the need for adequate training of young soldiers

 However unfortunately, there seems to be very
 little that can be done about it. The Federal officials of Alaska not all of them but some of them, seem to think that it is quite proper for them to their offices and funds for political purposesand get ting away with it.

THE NEW GERMAN UNDERGROUND

One thing long handicapping the Allies in Germany has been the lack of underground opposition to Hitler Ever since 1883, various anti Nazi groups have been trying to spawn an effective underground in Germany but with little success.
 When Hitler first came to power there were about 100000 German Communists, but many of these were snuffed out in the initial blood purges.
 Other non-C Communist anti-Nazis, composing the most liberal clements in Germany, also fled as the Hitler Himmler terror was extended to every part of the Reich.
 However, the underground blos- somed and expanded in 1884 and 1885 until Himmler found out about it and sent his own agents into the organization, capturing the membership lists and ruthlessly shooting down it's members.
 In 1886, another attempt was made to form a new underground. This time units of only five mem- bers were set up with each man knowing only one man outside his own cell. However, the Nazis even broke into these groups and smashed the new organization.

 At the Capitol party, Violet Gibson, Associated Press copy girl, asked Bloom what his favorite flower was.
 'Violets," replied Sol.

 Bloom then explained that violets were his favorite flower because half a century ago he sold violets in front of the fountain at the corner of Market and Kearney Streets in San Francisco.

eration to rebuild the German working class movement. AS a re- suit, the chief hope for a major uprising in Germany today is the 6,000,000 foreign slave workers Hitler kidnapped from the occupied countries. These workers have been used to build Qualifications on the Eastern and Western Fronts and to work in German factories.
 After the big Allied bombing of Berlin several thousand of these foreign workers escaped during the confusion, destroyed several war plants and hid in the wreckage of the bombed-out buildings. Other foreign workers escaping during Allied air raids have joined with deserters from the German Army and are now carrying on the first Guerrilla warfare inside Germany.

 An ill omen presages a large number of divorces due to nasty wartime weddings, but the stars seem to indicate an ultimate re- vival of old-fashioned ideas about the permanence of the marriage contract.
 Business Affairs Technical training of returning soldiers added to war experiences that demand patience and resource fulness will assure high efficiency among office, shop and factory workers.
 National Issues
 Differences of opinion concerning best systems of education for re- turning soldiers who desire to enter colleges will be numerous. Dangers 1 in specialization without firm foun- dations in general branches of study will be widely discussed, but veterans will insist on speedy pre- paration for making.
 International Affairs Epidemics among civilians will add to Japanese anxieties as relent- less progress is made by Gen. Mac Arthur and United Nations forces The stars seem to presage an ex- tending period before complete devastation of the home islands is achieved.
 Prosperous days appear to await persons whose birthdate this is They should push ambitious plans with great energy.

In 1888, several underground op- orators finally managed to pene- trate Hitler's Schutz Staffel, the private Black Shirt Army which guarded the Fuenrer. One even came to New York on a vacation, met with American Communists secretly, told them how he was a member of Hitler's personal body guard. However, Stalin never gave the signal to bump Hitler off and eventually even these new under ground members were destroyed

UNNATURAL OWI
 The Office of War Information is supposed to be a neutral agency charged with reporting the news of what the Government is doing in wartime. It is not supposed to lean toward any particular branch of the Government.
 Certain Government officials are hopping mad, however, at the way OWI Deputy James R. Bracket who they say, has been playing the Armys game in the manpower fight.
 COP Congressman John Taber of Auburn, New York, first brought the thing out in the open when he blasted OWI for suppressing the facts in the manpower debate. h. siders agree that Taber was right
 OWI Deputy Bracket is the liaison man between OWI and the Office of War Mobilizer Byrnes As such, he has been telling various agencies what they should do about the k-or-fight bill, and even went so far as to ask the War Production Board for press re- lease which would support the Army in it's position on the work or-fight bill.
 Note-Many WIPE officials do not agree with the Army in it's demand for drastic manpower bill, in fact high-up WIPE officials have circu- lated a report showing that the manpower situation was never better in the entire nation, though there are a few bad spots

 Benefic aspects today presage much that is fortunate for the United Nations.
 Heart Ana Home
 Reports of religious observances in which our uniformed men and women participate will have a far reaching influence on home folks who have been careless regarding church-going.
 Business Affairs
 Warning is given that pressure groups, more interested in finan- cial matters than in the general welfare of the nation, will be extra ordinarily active in Washington during coming months. Efforts to block legislation of importance in the rehabilitation of returned SOL diers are forecast.
 National Issues
 Criticism should be withheld re- garding any policy established by member of the United Nations, if certain evil portents are wisely in terpreted. Astrologers deplore. the American tendency to ask questions and to expect answers in time of war. Because the whole pattern of the United Nations war plans can- not be exhibited, glimpses encour- age misjudgment that is dangerous

"The anticipated transfer of

THE war against Japan con-

Recalling the period following

said, is anticipated now in Europe,
