Anniversary :
,The raving address .of Adolf Hitler delivered
on September 1, 1939, in the sportspalast in Ber
lin had its echo in the thundering raid of RAF
bombers, over the nazi capital for 45 minutes,
; four years later. The weapon which Hitler
forged is. now turned against him. Berlin is
the repetition of Warsaw and Rotterdam and
' London, with compound interest. 1 Hitler made
no speech in Berlin on the fourth anniversary,
of his march into Poland. -He is strangely silent.
Fate tosses him ungently on its Ditchfork ere
it cast him down to the hell he sought to create
on earth.

Marcus Island -
' You have to hunt to find Marcus island on
the maps of the Pacific. lake Wake island, it is
a lone outpost in the ocean, abouts 50 degrees
In longitude west of Honolulu and four degrees
in latitude north- It lies due east of Formosa
about 32 degrees, and some 1200 miles south
east of Tokyo. To the southwest some 600 miles
lie the Marianas islands and Guam, and some
what farther to the southeast are the Marshall
' islands. Truk, the great Japanese base in the
Carolines, is due south about' 1200 miles.
. We do not know from early reports whether
the American naval task force attacking Mar
cus is merely making ia raid, as did Admiral
Halsey 18 months ago, or whether it Intends
to seize the island use it as a base. This would
be a direct challenge at the home islands of
"Japan, putting our: bombers within' range of
Tokyo. It hardly seems likely that occupation
and retention of the island is contemplated be
cause it is exposed to Japanese attack from three
"sides. '': :j ;,;.! : -:r. ., i .
Perhaps the prime object is to draw out the
grand fleet of Japan, supposedly lurking in
home waters, lor a great naval battle. Our own
navy in the Pacific" has been building its strength
steadily since Pearl Harbor. It now feels fit to
pull the whiskers of the Japanese admirals, as
well as guard supply lines and protect opera
tions in the southwest Pacific islands.
We make the long range guess that the Japan
ese navy will not contest the American fleet in
force. The Japs prefer to harrass any occupation
of Marcus island from the flanks by air and
by light surface vessels rather than risk jtheir
grand fleet in a single engagement. Sooner or
later this showdown must come. Combined
naval-air action is the quickest way to a de
cision. A knockout blow to the big Japanese
fleet wiU expose their island empire to ravish
ment. . . . .
The sortie on Marcus island may be just a
feeler operation, but without doubt our . fleet
"packs a big punch and is ready to" meet what
ever the enemy sends against it.
News of this action is what we have been
waiting for. People on this coast hope it marks
the real-beginning of direct and powerful na
val action pointed directly at the heart of Japan.
Most people have thought there was some
sleight-of-hand or deception to the eye in the
knife-throwing stunt. But there isn't; it's just
skill. Finally one of the knife throwers killed
his wife in a performance, though not with a
knife, with a J22 caliber rifle. He missed his
aim and the bullet struck his wife in the head
instead of knocking away the piece of chalk in
her ear a stunt they had done together for
over 40 years. This news will make more people
shield their eyes at the next knife-throwing'
act.7 ' ' . ' - ; ,".- u ;-

Why Do They Do It?
The faithful Associated Press which burns
its wires with the latest-news from all parts of
the world, supplements spot newsLwith some
feature articles. Here is a late one by Grace Mar
tin, AP feature writer: - J u. ,
"Why - doesva" married , man always charge
head of his wife down, the street?" a New York
editor-asked recently. ,
: y Why indeed? " r 1
Why should the courtesies which men and
women extend to each other before marriage
so often be lost in the shuffle afterwards?
Courtesy may not make a romance, but it has
kept many a one from dying. "
How can you seem a civilized gallant gentle
man to your wife if you go barging ahead of
her down the street? It's to like to raise in her
mind: the picture, of jthe saTage stalking ahead
of his mate.
How can you- expect your wife to consider
you grown up if you are surly at breakfast,
' sprawl for hours on the best chair and spread
your papers'-all over the living room floor?
Your 10-year-old son has a tendency to be
. have in the same fashion, j ' f
How can you expect your husband to regard
you as a charming, well-poised woman if you
keep interrupting him every five minutes with
? an idea of your own?
Or why should you.,expect him to find you,
glamorous and appealing if you spend half
your time with him in curlers? Even the people
who make them don't claim that curlers have,
glamor. . J '. i"-;:-''
Well, Grace, you ask the questions but supply
no answers. Neither will we. The sloppy habits
seem to be about fifty-fifty, which probably
explains why married folks put up with each
' others ir : -1 i . :;t-v ' ".- ; : t ' ; , : i ' ; '

News Behind
Titie News
By PAUL MAULON
WASHINGTON, September 1 The antics of
vying officials on gasoline rationing have now risen
to the fabulous stage. ' '
A joint OPA-Ickes announcement has been is
sued in a very grave tone "lifting the ban on plea- -
sure driving, but not lilting
' ;. -
The announcement pictured
- Petroleum Poobah Ickes as get
ting together with Prentiss
Brown of the OPA for the first
time, in serious determination
to ease the restrictions on east
ern motorists as promised ; re
peatedly during the past two
months. -'. : , y i. ; . .
No- one needed to read the
Past Maiion , wording very closely, however,
to see that the ban was not lifted but was left still
in effect, and the officials merely but 'motorists
on their honor to obey the instructions. In short,
all they did was to stop legal enforcement.
But enforcement already had stopped. Instances
developing throughout the east since the August
IS gas equalization 9 rationing I was announced,
showed clearly that enforcement had not only brok
en down but was non-existent.
All that Messrs. Ickes and Brown did then "was
to bury a ghost already long dead, but to bury him
above ground where everyone could see him and
to put everyone on his honor not to look.
This is the latest but by no means the strangest
of the confusing anomalies which officials have
displayed on this subject.
A month ago, ist was practically officially pro
mised that gas rationing coupon values in the east
would be increased.
On July 29, President Gottlieg, of the New York -Automobile
club, announced "on unquestionable
authority" that the ban on pleasure driving would
be ended and the value of "A" -coupons would be
: increased. f. '
. Mr. Brown hinted at the same thing August 4,
, after a conference with his chief assistant, Chester
Bowles, saying eastern motorists could look forward
to action next week on the pleasure driving ban.
The east-west equalization program' was an
nounced August 13, but failed to live up to either
promise and, in fact, did not even propose equal
ization" between the mid-west and the east, which,
was the reason for its promulgation. I
The explanation of this stupefying series of de
: ceptive public announcements apparently was that
Messrs. Brown and Bowles, on one hand, wanted ;
to give the public more, and Mr. Ickes kept resist
' lng them at every turn. !
' A'common supposition in the oil trade is that '
Mr. Ickes was subsequently told from - the White
House that this nuisance scrapping should cease
and that some solid basis of agreement should be
: worked out to help the motorists as much as pos
sible, y i yy " . -. y : ': r ?f r t , ." y
Apparently this new ban-lifting-that-does-not-lift
is the result. If it satisfies the White House,- it
can hardly satisfy' anyone else. . ? .-;, ss 5
The oil industry suspects this elaborate ghost
burial was staged tp dear the way for tightening :
enforcement in the mid-west and southwest Not
a single complaint has been received from those i
areas by motoring authorities here since their ra
tioning started, a fact they accept as proof that ev- '
eryone out there seems to be getting enough gas :
'from some place. The Ickes .Brown announcement
plainly indicated this purpose when it said: i -
"Energy and enforcement effort now will be'
turned to gasoline black market operations."
But - there is -another curious 'angle. Mr. Ickes
wants to raise the basic oil price 35 cents per bar
rel ' to increase production - and has appealed to
Judge Vinson to allow him to do soX His applica-
tion was not made public, nor was the exchange
of letters between Brown and Ickes on the subject
It is known Brown has registered the increase
and some of his associates have been caustically '
chirping behind their hands that something is the
matter, with oil production other than -prices. They 5
suspect some oil producers mayTiave adjusted oil
production to further their own demand for the '
price increase. ;
Only one thing is sure in all this amazing mass "
of political publicity. It is that officials have been
neither frank nor convincing anywhere along the
way.
- as used by motorists can be cut to any degree
necessary to meet the demand of our armies. But,
if officials who know the facts of production, dis
tribuUon, and stocks, and censor these from the
public view, cannot agree themselves and lay down'
a frank, straight-forward policy,. how can they ex
pect public observance? s

The War News
By WnJUAM T. PEACOCK
Japan appears to have the jit
ters as a result of well-advertised
Anglo-American prepara
tions for "heating and inflam
teg asj Winston Churchill put
it the war against her.
Nervous anxiety is clearly re
flected in the To kyo radio's
shocked ; declaration that Amer- ,
lean sea; and air forces which ,
bombed and shelled Marcus is
land, 1200 miles southeast of To
kyo, could have raided the Jap
anese mainland ; itself just as
wen. -, ; ':""'-i-c;';v-.-. -
That is a far cry .from the
boasts Tokyo used to voice that
the Japanese homeland was safe
from attack a boast which was
being broadcast at the very mo
ment that General Jimmy Doo
little's raiders came winging
over 1 flf months ago.
The quick reference to the
mainland is another symptom,
too, of Japan's haunting fear, re
peatedly manifest since the Doo
little raid, that American bomb
ers will return.
. The depth of that fear was ex
pressed in the execution of some
of the . American fliers who fell
, into Japan's hands and In the
slaughter and destruction In
Chinese villages; which sheltered
other airmen. "
Many of the Islands Japan oc
cupied were seized to keep Am
erican airpower remote. . -In
this light, it Is probable
, that neither the Marcus island
- demonstration of American "sea- j
power; nor the frank talk from
Quebec, London and Washing
ton of an early, large-scale cam
paign in Burma Is as ominous
news If or Tokyo's warlords as
the word from : General Henry
H. Arnold that a new and rev- '
olutionary bomber will be In
use in the near future. -;
The chief of the army air for
ces described battleships of the
air capable of carrying half a
carload of bombs and with fly."

ing range for a round trip to Eu
:v: rope. . -"' : .-
To that may be added Lieut.
- General John L. De Witt's. esU
, mate, given to a . press confer-
. ence in San. Francisco, that the
. matter of supplying bases in
, China and the Aleutians is the
. only major problem to be solved
before shuttle-trip bombing of
J apan will be possible.
This country, DeWitt observed,
' now has jdr fields as close to
. Japan's home Islands as was the
aircraft carrier Horn e t when
Doolittle's men took off for their
bombing raid. That would ' be
; - about' 800 miles. y:r:::y'
Presumably his reference to
the bases on Attu and Kiska in
relation to Paramushiro at the
north end of the Japanese island
Chan. But his calculation of pos
c sfble ; bombing was based ,on the
performance of : the; liberators
and Flying Fortresses now in
use. .
Attu lies about 2000 miles from -Tokyo
with Chinese bases 1000
miles or. so beyond a distance
' onlyfa little more than American'
bombers covered in the . round
' trip r flighty to bomb Rumania's
Ploestl oil J fields. .
. Putting aside the problem -of
supply Chinese bases, the bomb
ers Arnold tells . us ' are on the '
way . V could fly tithe round trip
- from Attu to Tokyo. That might
. be, In fact, no more than half
the operating range . of a plane
able to carry a bomb load from
United States shores to Europe
and return.' - r - s
' And. there can be no question
of army-navy . ability - to supply '
the Attu base which was wrest- ,
ed from the enemy.
' .'It is not an isolated raid from
sea-borne aircraft such as hit
Marcus Island that Toyko has to
fear, but sustained air attack
from land-based planes.
And that, we may judge from
Arnold's statements, is- in store
tor the 'early future. '

"She not look much like , El-

"No, except that she's blonde.

' clothes, ' when t they found her, ,
didn't . fit because she'd got so
thin. Nothing changes people
: like flesh or the lack of hV -:
ut Elaine was fixing .hair -'like
that and scared. Let's see
; who is Polly Morgan.", r ? y i
As I write these, words I do
not have the clipping in my pos
Vsession, so I cannot quote it yer-
- batim. But the story summed up
to this: i
In 1939 Polly Morgan killed a ;
man named Frederick P. Hawks
in her suite at a luxurious hotel -in
Chicago, and vanished before :
an arrest could be made. All the
authorities had. was the cham
bermaid's story: ; The maid, on -the
night of the murder, was In
the bedroom; of, Polly's . suite
turning down, the bed, when the
: hall door into the adjoining sit
ting room burst open and Polly '
Morgan rushed Uw followed by
Hawks. They were quarreling
and continued to quarrel, obvi
ously unaware of the maid's pre-V
ence. The maid hurried to finish
; her task, meaning to slip tout into
- the hall by way of the bedroom
door. The next thing she knew, ,
the two in the sitting room were
locked in a death struggle; Polly
had a knife. Hawks tried to
wrest It from her, then whipped
a small revolver from his pock
et Polly sank the knife between:
- his shoulder blades Just. as the
gun went off. The maid fainted.
When ; she recovered, she was
alone except fori : the body; of
Hawks onjthe sitting room floor.
Polly was gone. No trace of her
had ever been found.) There was
also a resume of Polly's lifea t
singer In night clubs, a favorite
, guest at swank bachelor parties,
that sort of thing
Chapter 15
. .. Komako and I sat down and
cogitated in silence for a while. -Finally
