Italy, LAYING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE every . minute, light ing to SAVE AMERICA. Watching this battle of the politicians In Washington, would you leel that the stay-at-homes on the, home front are backing you up In every way in their power, sharing your risks and your privations to the extent of their ability, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with you to WIN THE WAR? : Or would you feel that they are THROWING YOU DOWN? That Is the big question that has to be answered. ONE more significant develop ment on the home front: The senate yotes 39 lo 37 to PROHIBIT payment of sub sidles from the treasury to roll back, retail food prices. The house had already 'passed 'A simi lar bfl outlawing subsidies 'other than those td which the govern ment Is already committed. (Existing commitments include sirtwklies for transportation, to encourage agricultural and min eral production and to finance Importation of strategic materi als.) ON the shooting, fronts, war In the air still holds tho spot light. Our bombers smash at two more Ruhr towns, Bochttm and Gelsenklrchrn (coal towns, ac counting between them for about a. third of the Ruhr production. You can see from this how Im portant coal is in war.) "Returning pilots say the Ger man opposition in the air was terrific, hundreds of Fockc-Wulfs and Messerschmltls pressing home their attacks with suicidal fury. The largest force of Flying Fortresses yet sent out in Hie Mediterranean hits Sicily and Sardinia. Violent opposition by enemy Interceptors and Intense anti-aircraft fire are encounter ed. A London military observer (whose name is withheld) says the "neutralizing of the Ruhr" Is nearlng completion. The normal Industrial hac over the valley (smoke from the factory chimneys), he adds, Is THIN NING OUT and In some places bus actually disappeared. In the three-and-a-half months since this massive bombing ex periment began, he says, 30.000 tons of bombs have been dropped on the Ruhr. We've lost mote than 500 bombers and some 3, (HK) of their crewmen have been killed or captured. OUR army headquarters in Eu rope reimrts that In their last two operations over Ger many our I American) heavy bombers have destroyed nearly 100 enemy fighters while losing 37. of their own planes. An American air force com mentator adds that while the primary task of daylight heavy bombers Is to slow down enemy armament production, ATTRI TION against enemy fghler tie lenses is an important crondary consideration and Is MOUNTING STEADILY. , J it other words, we're forcing the German fighters to come up and are SHOOTING THEM DOWN. That'B the way air su premacy la achieved. GOiCBBELS squawks loudly about "allied terror planes de stroying In an hour cultural pos sessions which the centuries have built." .He gave no thought to that when Germany's Luftwaffe was rjestrnvlng th nilniral potses-I INSULT TO .EDITORIAL. By Charles E once wore our country's (or distinguished service, and In fact, in the two years we wore the army G. 1. we went from hither to yon around the United States but never got outside the continental borders. However, we lake pride in being a mem ber of the great fraternity of men who have participated in the military services of this nation. We take pride in the uni form we once wore and which today, with far better styling, graces the forms of some millions of American young men. We believe any man who wears that uniform is entitled to the respect of his fellow countrymen. We believe he repre sents the ultimate in service to his government. The fact that he may never distinguish himself in battle is a matter of circum stance. Furthermore, the buck private who serves his country to the best of his ability is entitled to as much respect as the four-star general. The uniform is a badge of courage, sacrifice and service and as such is entitled to veneration. That is why we resent in every fibre of our being the con tinued threats of the president, the War Manpower commission and other bureaucratic agencies to impress military service upon strikers and laggards in the war effort. The uniforms of our military service are not for such. The military uniform is not a penal garb. It is to be worn only by men who are willing to sacrifice their lives, if need be, for the sake of their country. We have no objection to imposing penalties upon laggards, if they are proved so to be. To segregate them from patriotic Americans, to award them a distinctive badge, is fully proper, in our opinion, for those who fail to do their share toward speedy victory. But to even intimate that the uniform of a soldier, a sailor, a marine or members of any other branches of our military service shall be worn opinion, an insult to every boy who is serving his country today, to every father and mother who has given a boy or a girl to military service, and to the millions of men who have served this country in the wars of past Furthermore, the threat to means of providing a penalty military age who would gladly such implication probably is intended but, nevertheless, it is contained in the application of induction as a penalty. Wc do not believe this is a nation of cowards. We like to believe any man able to hold a gun would try it he could be shown a place where he might be of service. We believe we are speaking the minds of a majority of the veterans of the last World war don the uniform again if called upon to do so. There are many of us who have never voted for the present commander- in-chief, and never expect to do so, yet would gladly and proudly serve in the army of which he is titular head that is democracy. But to intimate that any man, of any age, is to be impressed into the army as a penalty is, we believe, an insult to the men of this country personally and, in general, to the uniform of the armed services. The veterans of the first World war have been pleading with administrations for the past 20 years for a universal conscrip tion of manpower and wealth. Were that policy in force today, much of our present trouble would have been avoided. Because politicians have lacked the intestinal fortitude to do their duty toward their country, for fear they might lose votes. we are not giving our full measure of service for victory. But ' they have no right to insult the patriotic citizens of this country and the men and women of our armed forces because of the j politically spawned mess on the home front. j sions built by the centuries In England. "The galled jade winces." IN the Mediterranean, enemy fighter-bombers fly over our attacking Fortresses dropping fragmentation bombs Intended to explode among the dense forma tions of our bombers - hoping not only to damage them but to force them to BREAK FORMA TION, thus leaving holes In their deadly field of fire through which enemy fighters can zoom to attack us. This tactic has been mentioned before. So far, we outsiders have lieen given no trustworthy re port as to Its effectiveness. T HERE has lieen much comment of lute about the LULL in the lighting. Slowly a new conclusion lakes shape In our minds. THERE IS NO LULL! The BATTLE OF GERMANY is on. Also the battle of Italv. It Is BATTLE IN THE AIR.

Yi ' li Do .something , Train Fire Looses Munitions Blast On Grand Junction GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., June 2S--(AP) Residents of this Inland city dug jagged shrapnel from their yards and the walls of buildings today as souvenirs of a terrifying four-hour bom bardment from munitions set off by a freight train fire. At least four persons were in jured yesterday by particles of highpowered shells, some of which hurtled a mile from the siding where the blazing cars were isolated by trainmen. Fire Chief Charles Downing's right arm, torn by shell frag-1 ments, was amputated. He was j given two blood transfusions. ; A piece of the flying metal , struck Bob Walraven, railroad i workman, while he stood on a freight caboose half a mile from the tire. He suffered a possible jaw fracture. Shrapnel also Ui lured Mrs. Virginia Buckley and Henry Teho, a fireman. Sharp reports awoke the com munity about 1:30 a. m. Hundreds of townsmen, some clad in pajamas, hurried down Main street as close as they dar ed to the tracks on the city's western outskirts. The ammunition-fed fire glowed brightly in the Denver and Rio Grande West ern railroad yards. Shells burst in increasing tempo, dying down finally about 5 a. m. Railroad men discovered the fire in one of the cars soon after the freight train pulled into Grand Junction. They cut off the two cars and shunted them into a track about, a half mile west of the depot, near a warehouse and lumber yard district. Although the nearby buildings escaped lire damage, roofs and wails were riddled. Army ordnance officers and railroad men began an investiga tion. One theory was that a hot box on one of the cars stalled the fire. By SUSAN Home again, neighbors , and r.i;:;l;ty glad to be here. That's cue oi tho nicest things atwiut a vacation the coming home.
