SOAP OR BUTTER
OR NEITHER?

The new secretary of agriculture, who
Is sort Of semi-czar on food supplies
and distribution, has been making some
encouraging pronouncements Of this and
that. Most recent of Secretary Ander
sons notes of cheer is to the effect that
soap will not be rationed. Just prior to
the soap statement, Anderson reduced
the points on butter from "a to 16, but
at the same stroke raised the points on
OleOmargarine from II to IA.
Now on the heels of these statements
and actions comes the revelation that
great quantities of rancid butter is being
sold to soap manufacturing concerns.
Rancid butter to the householder means
spoiled butter
Here is proof, it seems, sufficiently
clear to disclose the reason for the long
period when butter just couldn't be
found. Scarcity of an article always is
followed by increasing point values, and
vice versa, lowering Of points means
certain article has had an increase in
output or surplus has been discovered.
Manifestly something radically, is wrong
in the butter situation if at one and the
same time points could be lowered and
spoiled stocks be turned into soap. Of
course it can't be so bad that the spoiled
butter IS III sufficient quantities 70 boost
soap output to where that shortage will
b. overcome.
1t doesn't mean anything that soap
manufacturers come out and say that
rancid butter always has been used in
making soap. Nothing can be said that
will excuse blunder that creates false
shortage in an article 50 widely in use
as butter. 1t now is evident there never
L
points soaring to almost double.
Could it be that the secretary has dis
covered an abundance of soap hidden
away and that he is paving the way to
get it into civilian use when he emphat-
ically declares there will be no points on
that household necessity?
The new secretary appears to be boring
in and when he discovers a blunder,
h0ary with age, he doesn't hesitate to set
the wheels in motion to correct it.
Let's hope he keeps at it.

RE-EDUCATING GERMANY
New York TimeS)

(NeW York 1lmeS)
The recent report by the Institute on
Reeducation of the Axis Countries is the
result of a years study by competent
educators 1t is one of the few compre-
hensive studies in the field and en-
phasizes that the education for death"
philosophy that helped German war
gangsters gain power must be outlawed
If oppression is to be checked.
Under Prof. Thomas c. Pollock of
New York University as chairman, the
committee has listed the specific tenets
which it believes must be unlearned
the belief that the German people are
d super race destined to rule the world,
that the German state is of supreme
Importance and the individual must
subjugate himself completely to it's de-
mands, that blind obedience to the su-
preme leader is the greatest virtue, and
that war is the most honorable activity
of society. A moments reflection on this
creed as a guide for human life limns
the tremendous gulf that exists between
democracy and totalitarianism.
The proposals of the Institute on Re-
education recognize the tremendous and
lOng-range problems involved. There is
no precedent for such an undertaking,
but combined with the stripping of war
making power from Germany, the re
education of the people is a logical
method Of attack. The institute proposes
that all forms and symbols of mlitarism
shall be eliminated and all textbooks,
from the lowest grades to university
leyel, be carefully supervised. 1t is rec
commended that anti-Nazis be employed
as teachers, especially men and women
who suffered in Buchenwald, Dachau
and other camps that represented the
Towering of Nazi "culture.'
The reeducation Of nation is a gar
gantuan task But we can hope at least
to teach all Germans that this time the
victors IN the war propose to stand
united and to use the strength Of their
united arms to keep the peace.

Jap General Falls
Prisoner After
Tumble Into Mud

MOROTAI, Aug 8.-CUP)-Maj.
Gen. Harry H. Johnson, of Houston,
Tex, ordered:
Bring that pot-bellied Japanese
So-and-SO back alive"
So his men did it. They captured
Col. Kuisu Ouchi, who was the
Scourge of Morotai, in the Northern
Moluccas Islands south of the Phil
ippineS.
They had to jerk Ouchi's face out
of the mud to haul him back, but it
was all in the days work. They even
busted him off before they brought
him before Johnson, commanding
General of the 93rd Infantry Di-
vision.
GOT THE JOB
Lit. Col. Jack c. Mckenzie Of VIC
toria, Tex, got the job of bringing
Ouchi back alive. He took four
negro enlisted men and four white
officers into the jungle with him on
Aug2.
They stalked Ouchi to his Tjioe
River Headquarters The patrol
Stealthily surrounded 20 Japanese,
taking about 80 minutes to get into
position for their final attack.
Finally a yank yelled in Japa-
nese: Surrender and we won't hurt
you"
The Japanese soldiers started
running. Mckenzie killed two. A
third soldier fell over the prone
body Of one of McKenzie's victims
and his face ploughed into the mud
Mckenzie rushed up and grabbed
him. He asked, Where is Colonel
Ouchi?"
HE is GENERAL
The mud-caked Japanese soldier
folded his arms. replying I'm
Col. Ouchi. Kill me-"
Sorry" said Mckenzie, But I
have orders to bring you in alive"
Ouchi is one of the highest
ranking Japanese officers ever
captured. When told that Tokyo was
almost destroyed, he said: 1T
couldn't be or Japan would have
surrendered.
The fight to capture him lasted
seven minutes. The score was nine
Japanese killed, and no American
casualties.

Senate COP Debates
Policy Of Suggesting
Party Men for Jobs
BY the Associated Press.

6s inc ASsoCldieu rreSS.
Senate Republicans debated today
whether they ought to butt In on
President Truman's selection OF
party members on Government COM
missions.
The question came up informally
as they arranged to pass on COM
mittee assignments and other mat
ters at q conference today.
Chairman Taft Of the Senate Re-
publican Steering Committee said
the group already had discussed the
issue without getting anywhere.
Reports have been coming to the
Republicans that Mr.. Truman might
be willing to listen to their sugges-
tions in filling some Federal jobs.

Would Watch Operations.
The question Is: Should the Re-
publicans make recommendations
and thus share the responsibility If
any of these boards does something
they think is sour?
Senator Taft apparently thinks
the congressional Republicans ought
to keep their hands of, letting Mr.
Truman take the full responsibility
for his appointments.
But some minority members are
getting tired of having what they
call Roosevelt Republicans" in
office.
They would like to have some
regular party members in spots
where they could watch the ma
chinery tick and report to their
catalogues.
In a two-hour meeting yesterday
House Republicans pooled their
ideas for program they hope will
win the 1916 congressional elections.
"Airing Session."
Minority Leader Martin told re-
porters the caucus, held in executive
session, was the first step toward
the drafting of positive program"
of legislation.
It was an airing" session, not a
decision making one. Mr.. Martin
will appoint group of five or six
members of the Republican Steering
Committee to coordinate the ideas
and boil them down. After that, he
said, the group will work with the
Senate Republicans to iron out any
differences of opinion.
1T will be short program" Mr.
Martin said. I'VE don't want the
people to go to sleep while they're
reading it."
