Another AMERICAN army Is driving DOWN the Seine, to finish the fleeing Germans off as they arrive at (he south bank. At the same time, Patton is driving an armored spearhead down the NORTH bank (after crossing at Nanles) to flank and if possible DESTROY the Ger man 15th army, which has been pulled down from the rocket coast in a desperate effort lo stave off nazi disaster at Ihe Seine. IF we destroy this army, Hitler's precious rockel coast, Just across the channel at its narrow est point, will be left inadequate ly defended. The rockets are one of his big PSYCHOLOGICAL an chors. With them lie hopes to con vince his frightened Germans that the British can be scared in to making a milder peace. WE learn that an American column Is closing in on Bor deaux from the north. A Trench patriot force is moving on Bor deaux from the south.

Since 1910, he has been a weak and wishy-washy old man. FRANCE holds Ihe world spot light. It is in France that great history is Isclng made at ' the moment. In France, another Strutting world mnqiHTnr Is ap 1 It would se6m that it is time the American public was told the whole truth about Pearl Harbor. Almost three years have gone by since the Japanese made their sneak attack. Certainly now, when our navy occupies enemy waters, thumbing its nose and daring the Nip fleet to come out and fight, little military security would be involved in letting the Japs know extent of the damage caused at Pearl Harbor. The longer court-martial of Admiral Kimmel and Major General Walter C. Short, who was army commander at Pearl Harbor, is delayed, the greater is cause for suspicion that political and not military security is the issue behind postponement. United States Senator Rufus Holman, speaking in Rose burg during' the prirhary camnaign in Mav declared : "One hundred and thirty million people would rise in rage if they realized the' Extent of the president's blunder." He was re ferring to Pearl Harbor. Senator Holman is a member of the committee on military affairs in the senate and has in- lormatton denied the general public. The president has just returned from an inspection trip in' the Pacific and Aleutians. He denies the excursion had any political implication, despite the fact that he could have learned nothing which could not have been ascertained by a visit to the War department in Washington. He travelled thousands of miles, accompanied by a largo entourage, and called in the Pacific commanders for conference, yet the War department in Washington is familiar with every phase of the war in the Pacific and could have supplied the presi dent with any detail he might have desired. It is impossible to believe that the trip, had any purpose other than to im press upon the voters in the United States that he is the commander-in-chief. But the comm'andcr-iu-chlef unifprm cannot be .worn .ex clusively for political parades. If the president is lo wear the uniform in these times of glorious victories, sharing in the plaudits which Americans are bestowing upon great military leaders and valiant fight- ng men, then he must also be presumed to have been in uniform on December 7, 1911. He was then the commander-in-chief. If the laurel of victory is to rest upon 'his brow. his shoulders' must bear the burden of defeats. It is not becoming to the position he has chosen for him self that he permit the American people to continue in ig norance of what happened at Pearl Harbor. Suspicion that Admiral Kimmel and General Short are being made scape-1 goats for political bungling should not be permitted to exist; but suspicion cannot be avoided until the American people are told the whole truth. If the army and navy comman ders were negligent in their duty; if, as Senator Truman intimates and Admiral Kimmel denies, the two officers were not on speaking terms, then it is time the public knew the facts. chine guns which had pinned down his unit. i Although his companion was wounded, Clark remained with his gun under a heavy bombard ment of rifle and mortar fire and helped eliminate six enemy ma chine gun nests, being aided by tanks in concluding Ihe battle.'

As a as a matter of fact the narrator sounded like he was ready to bawl right along with us his voice almost got out of control. Anyway, it's a swell show and there's nothing like a good cry to set a gal up for the rest of the day. Come to think of it, all of the 1:30 shows are tops. Both editions of Full Speed ahead are good and the Monday anu Friday half hours of music are favorite listening spots for the whole staff around here.
