great river. 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.
CLEAR ACROSS France, the
Germans have turned the guns
of the Maginot line AROUND to
face onrushlng allied armies.
t ormai announcement was
made today by the War depart
ment of the award of the Silver
Star to Private Eldrcd B. Clark
of Roseburg for heroism In

in the News-Review last June 8.

article by Senator Harry S. Truman, democratic vice

ment that the army and navy failed to cooperate in repelling
the attack on Fearl Harbor is sharply denied by Rear Ad
miral Husband E. Kimfnel, who was in change of naval
forces at the time. Representative Ralph E. Church, repub

HALF of France, Including
Paris, is In allied and French
patriot hands.
IN the south, Toulon Is already
encircled and we are fighting
in Its outskirts. Marseille lias
been liberated. We are entering
Ihe lower reaches of the Rhone
valley, which leads northward to
Paris.
General Patch (American com
mander in Ihe south i says lo his
Hoops: "The enemy in our are'i
is perplexed and stunned. Except
for his coastal defense forces, hi
ts in FULL RETREAT."
He calls on his men for EVERY
POSSIBLE EFFORT within IN
limits of human endurance "lo
smash the enemy before he has
time to recover," and adds: 'The
opportunity for a DECISIVE RE
SULT Is before us and we i, list
and will move with Ihe iitn.ust

If so. it is a final BADGE OF
HONOR closing a career that
has Included both glory and
shainelul weakness and dilly

Since 1910, he has been a weak

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.'

eliminate necessity for playoffs.

Pardon us while we swallow a

to Your Army Service Show
it's 1:30 on Wednesday. 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. All of
which is beside the point, since
this is Thursday evening, and
tonight you'll get the Cantor and
Martin performance on Some
