A Year Ago Today
Complete and final victory in Africa came
to American, British, and Trench armies just
one year ago today.
Successfully culminating a 29-week inarch
that reached from El Alemein to Cape Bon, a
total of 1750 miles, this ignominious defeat of
the axis forces was highlighted following the
fall of the Mareth Line by the withdrawal of
Field Marshal Rommel, who apparently knew
ultimate defeat was inevitable and wanted no
part of it. : I r '
In October, 1942, the axis ruled supreme
from Casablanca in the west to El Alemein in
the east, only 60 miles from Alexandria and on'
the borders of the vital Nile delta. Afrika Korps"
and the legions of Italy controlled all the land
of North Africa with the excepUorfSpanish '
Morocco. . V ! . '"'"' ,"
It was at 9:30 pjn. on Friday, October 23,
when the silence of the desert was shattered by
the appalling and deafening, roar of the massed
25-pounders j of j General Montgomery's artil
lery, catching Rommel by surprise. By daylight
the next morning the allied troops had advanced
on a line six miles long. From then on and on
they went. J ;
As the enemy troops were fleeing from To-
bruk a troopship convoy was heading f or Oran
and Algiers in French North Africa. The commander-in-chief,
General ' Dwight D. . Eisen
hower, now took over and - with a j- combined
Anglo-American staff, the march continued.
As the famous British Eighth army advanc
ed westward in j pursuit of the retreating en
emy, the American forces began the eastward
push and in West Africa a brave band of war
riors under command of French General-Le-clerc
was pushing northwards toward the Sa
hara from Port Duala in the French Cameroons.
And from the air and the sea came devastat
ing blows that aided in clearing the pathway
for the ever advancing ground forces, close on
the heels of the confused retiring Germans and
Italians.1 .. "' -'j'
Still the allied contingents forged ahead;
early in January of 1943 Tripoli fell, making
the allied advance 1200 miles; in the latter
part of March another 375 miles saw the break
ing of the Mareth Line; in less than two months
the Allied victory became complete when Ger
mans surrendered by the thousands after the
allies marched into Tunis, then on to Bizerte
and finally on May r if raised the allied
ners on Cape Bon. ' ; j;
In 29 weeks, the aids armies were totally
destroyed. Of 350,000 men, 638 escaped to Italy,
and the entire African' continent-was cleansed 7
of German tvrannv. k
Such was the victory of the British, Ameri
can and French armies so joyfully celebrated
in free nations one year ago today.
Day by
American and British airmen
are dealing smashing blows to Hitlers war -
machine. Vital war factories, transportation
icilities, and military Installations in Germany
and occupied countries T are being pulverized
by the heavy rain of bombs from the skies.
Without wishing to f take one iota of credit
from these intrepid members of the AAF and
RAF it should be recalled that the navies of
both, this country and Britain are playing a
prominent part in the battle to smash the Luft
waffe. - i r, ' :
As a matter of fact, the Anglo-American
planes flying from Britain to the Continent in
their thousands every fweek 1 are so dependent
upon sea power that without it they would lie
helpless on the air fields of Britain through
lack of fuel brought! across the Atlantic in .
navy tankers. I . : ,
Further, the navy escorted the freighters
which carried thousands of American - built
fighter planes to protect the bombers on their '
daily flights over Europe. The thousands of
American airmen uv Britain made the overseas
journey protected by the navy. . 7 V
This is but one isolated case of combined op-
erations adopted by the allied chieftains. In all
theaters of warfare we see the forces of the ar
my, navy and marines; working in unison, all
bent toward one objective that of bringing
victory to the allied cause and a return, once
more, to "peace on earth and good will toward
'men." ...ff P-ft" 'i'-r''

WASHINGTON, May 11 The government got
out of Montgomery Ward fast, in fact, practically -running.
" r . - .
Commerce Secretary Jesse Jones could not wait t
until the -union election vote was announced before
proclaiming withdrawal of the troops. ;. : ;
In truth, there is some reason to believe Mr.
Jones did not - relish going In
with troops to oust Mr. Avery,
in the first place.
One report is that his assistant
who went out to take over the
Chicago 1 plant, carried instruc
tions inviting :Mr. Avery to run
the plant for" the government,
after Its seizure. - This highly
placed report might well be true,
because Mr. Jones is a business
smarty: himself ; who might well
Paul MaUon have conceived this adroit plan
of depriving Mr. Avery of his thunder. ; V .
Mr. . Avery, however would receive 'no such
communications from the government, and Attor- .
ney General Biddle, who is not a business smarty
at all, rushed in the troops in defense of the war
labor board-CIO position, he being also much more,
leftist and eager for CIQ than Mr. Jones. .
It was the public clamor over the troop display
and ousting of Mr. Avery which Inspired the gov
ernment haste in getting an election and getting
troops out. The press and radio were not particu
larly influential in this respect, although they gen-
erally complained. - I $ L. i - "
It was the inner turmoil here which farmers
bestirred among democratic congressmen by mail
in this campaign year, which spread official fright.
Apparently the farmer does not neoessarily hear
of these things or comment on them as fast as the
commentators, but takes a few days more to get
his tablet out, pencil in 'hand. .
j One Mississippi congressman got 40 letters from
his small farming district the day before the troops
.were withdrawn, and the recently unprecedented
number had been building up each day for a week.
rrju the farmers tersely -viewed it, the govern- j
meat was using troops to enforce CIO, demands' -:

Allied troops in Italy are again knocking thun
derously at the gateways to Rome in the first
ground phase of the triple-fronted United Nations
campaign to crash the walls of the. nazi fortress
continent of Europe. . j
They are robviously faced with inch-by-inch
progress against natural barriers long in German
hands and studded with gun-nests big and little.
With every foot they "gain, ! however, the strain on
enemy reserves must increase, the enemy hold
weaken not on Rome alone but on all the Italian
peninsula and upon the Balkans as well.
Pushed to within gun range of the Rome rail'
and road hub that attack could force the nazis
back into the inner walls ' of their continental
defense-system. ,. - -
It could materially help toward an early Rus
sian break-through in Romania to bring a deadly
squeeze from the east upon harassed nazi in the
Balkans. That seems to be in the cards in view of '
the concentrated allied air pounding of Hungarian,
'Romanian and even ' Bulgarian communications
targets. There can be no release of nazi reserves
in the south to bolster the east front in Romania.
Nor, by the same token, can the German high
command hope now to shuttle divisions from south
to west against the impending Anglo-American In
vasion Attacks from Brjtain.Th.at is a primary ob
jective of the assault In Italy. -
That attack Is in no sense a feint It is a full-scale
offensive by every Indication and holds within
Itself a grave threat to the whole nazi southern
defense perimeter.

The old gag of "ballots not bullets" is missing
from candidates' slogans this year. As a matter of
fact, the exact reverse of It is much more likely to
apply on election day, when an unusually light

"silent vote," unheard of until the polls open, de
cides the .fate of candidates, and next week when
the Oregon primaries are held it will still be a
factor in naming the winners. Another Important
factor will be the stay-at-home-vote, which, more

The situation had become so dangerous politic
cally that many an authority believes CPA's Ches
ter Bowles was ordered; to take the rationing off'
meats to divert and appease public, and especially'
farm attention from the case. I do, for one. '
There was no other inner or outer event to ac

months past, and the step being otherwise unex

- Mr. Roosevelt has said the press and radio
failed to explain the issue properly to-the farmers,
but it was explained in this column May 2 precise
ly as he explained it namely; the only issue, was
an election to determine if CIO had a majority of
employes, and if an election had been obtained any
time since last January, the issue would have been
dissolved without troops or trouble. :.,
But the situation has changed now, and his ex
pressed hope that the election Would still end the
difficulty seems unlikely; to be realized.
For one thing, Montgomery Word has found it
has an issue popular among fanners, which affords
good free advertising.
I For another the company can use this popular
backing In negotiating the new contract with CIO
to stand against any agreement that would force
,a price Increase. i - : ,
For a third, the matter has got Into politics
here; as an popular issues must, and a thorough
if not an indignant airing of the legal rights in
volved is likely in congress as well as the courts.
The issue involves all the familiar elements pre
sented by the CIO political action committee (Sid
ney -Hillman) now campaigning harder-and more
bitterly than the democratic national committee for
the fourth term, the use of troops in CIO strikes
in non-war industries and such matters likely to
remain of live interest patil, November. -

Italians Keep Dead American's
Grave Beautiful Witli Flotcers
By KENNETH L. DLXONT '
WITH THE AEF IN ITALY, May 4-(Delayed)-(ff)-High in
the mountains overlooking the sea from Italy's southwestern
coast, an American soldier lies buried and the -people from the
village of Ravello keep his grave beautiful with Cowers.
No matter how hard-boiled you are about the people who
fostered, the growth of fascism, you find yourself , touched by
their constant gesture. - i L -
Five ! Germans due . themselves
in on a peak Just above Bavello
and Americans and British had
to oust them,-: . ':j, y':xy
In the brief battle the Tank
was mortally wounded. Two com
rades made a sling of their belts
and carried him down the hfu,
half sitting between them.
, Before they reached the bottom
Italian runners ahead had spread
the word, and the k mountain
climbers arid villagers of Bavello
wanted: to show' their friendliness
for the foreigners whe had come
to liberate them from nazism and
fascism o they say now, at least
They brought oranges and ap
ples, all kinds of fruit and food,
and some : of their offerings of
food and medical supplies were
made ' with - things - almost impos
sible to get When his comrades
laid Jthe Yank down to rest . a
moment they brought all of these
gifts to him.
: t And; Bavello will always re
member bow the 'dyinc. man
looked at them in hate and re
fused ! their offerings. The tongue
was foreign, but the tone was in
ternational. . - .
"He said ; he ' wanted nothing
from us," they tell you. "He said
the whole war was our fault That
we started it; that we started fas
cism and that we were responsible
for his being here and dying here,
for he knew he wouldn't live. He
told us! to v take your things and
get away, that he hated the lot
of ttst.). rX'y.r;';-:
' So they did, and the Yank died
and Bavello helped bury him.
And after ln comrades had gone
on, the people of Ravello sdid a
lot of thinking about him. They
brought flowers and ' prettied up
his grave as much as possible, and
the kept it that way ever since.

Aurora : Fire Destroys
Smoke Ilouse, Contents
AURORA Friday morning the
Aurora fire department was called
to the home of J. Stuck adjoining
the city limits. It was too late to
save a smoke house and contents.
To the Editor: v; '
.. The coming election . will be
one i jot the most important in
this j nation's history. The men
whom we elect to represent us
will j I decide by their foresight,
or lack of it, nbt only the course
of the war, but also the peace
that ts td follow. It is important
that we elect men who ; are .hot
only ; capable of serving us, but
the whole nation. That Is why I
am urging you to support Wayne
Morse, who by his foresight has
shown that he is the strongest
candidate. 1 . '
An example of this is a speech
that ;he made in Klamath Falls,
February IV 1940, -almost two
years before Pearl ' Harbor in
which he said, "Incidentally,
part of the frozen savings pre- '
viously referred to in this speech
could well be put into construe-'
tion of national defenses and'
armaments. In fact, I would
suggest, that much of the scrap
iron going across the Pacific in L
foreign boats could be better '
used in new American boats and
uns."-; -'- - ' ' ' T':
In contrast to this, we have
the Ostrich-like record of Rufus
Holman who voted against at-;
tempts to stop Hitler and To- ;
Jo cto: neutrality revision bill; '
limit; armed services to western
hemisphere . bill (How' much
sooner would. Bataan have fal
len if this bill had been passed!);
twot! billion dollar ; versus lend
lease bill; LNT-LAS; trans-
ferf of axis .ships bill; belliger
ent zone restrictions bill; armed
ship bffl; and ship seizure bill. j
. It was such lack- of foresight
that caused the fiasco of Pearl
Harbor, and lost us the peace of
the) last war. The men who are
doing; the flghtLag are depending
upon us. not to let them down as
their lathers were .after, the last
war. . J-, ' V - . :
Wayne Morse has been - et
roneously charged with defend
ing Harry Bridges. The San Fran-"
-cisco Chronicle, one of the lead-
ing papers advocating the depor
tation of Bridges, in an article '
' which. was - hesullined, :' ."Whole
Pacific Coast is Watching Morse's
Race 1 for 1 Senate in Oregon,"
came out strongly in favor of
Morse. The state, even the whole
nation Is looking to us for cap-
able leaders. We cannot let them '
down; that is why I say vote
for Wayne Morse.

supply j five divisions of troops
than to ship out 115,000 farm
workers,! Newspapers in Mexi
co City have been critical of the
labor, migration. , ..
Workers ; themselves though
want to come. They had a taste
of - the good wages paid here,
which with the difference in ex
change enables them, to live very
well ia their home villages after
spending; a summer in the north.
While the Mexican government
has insisted on passing the
privilege around, the hews and
the. money brought back by last
year migratory workers en
courage t others in their villages
to seek enlistment in the labor
corps this summer.
' "Last year Jamaicans,' and Ba
hama negroes were brought in
, as well as Mexicans. This year
Puerto : Bicans are being im
ported.: These workers stay on
the east coast or midwest, they
never come out this far. Here
our call is for Mexican workers
who proved their value last
year. If, as seems to be the case,
the Mexicans will not be here
- in sufficient numbers to meet
demands, local .labor will have
to respond and do even a larger
share to sustain our food ' and
fibre production this year, or
. else the job wul not be done.
