The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use tor publication of an news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper. Journal at Wailing "Wall The Capital Journal Monday night went twice ' to the wailing, wall over ' the nomination of ' Wayne Morse by republicans. Considering the fact that its editor is a staunch democrat the -Journal's grief may seeiri hard to understand. ' But perhaps part of the explanation lies in thaiti very fact If . Sen. Holman had been renomin ated the Journal would have discovered he . was an ''isolationist" ' and ' sprayed him with verbal acid while it cordially supported Edgar Smith, the democratic nominee. It no doubt sees that Morse will be a pretty hard man for Smith to defeat i f The Journal's complaint is that the Morse campaign cost a lot of money. It did. But the money was ! intelligently and honestly used Nor did the Holman campaign appear to be underfinanced, as far as that is concerned. The campaign was hard fought; the issues were made plain to voters, and Morse was inomin- : ated. The Holman forces were disappointed but the democratic Capital Journal is the only . paper we have seen that .resorts publicly to the crying toweL The Dalles Chronicle,' whose Bridges blast on Morse was widely circulated, accepts the verdict very gracefully. f' " ; The Journal revives via Walter Winchell and th New Republic the' new deal orj Roose velt label on Morse.- Well, the J ournal pulled a heavy oar in 1932 and 1936 to foist' Roose velt on the country, which is more than Morse, did; 'so it should hide its own face now, in stead of pinning the label on other folk. Pullman Divorce - ! For years the Pullman company has manu factured sleeping cars and operated them un der contract with railroads. Now comes the government to tell the company it can do one but not both of these jobs. Either it must get out of car manufacturing or drop its sleeping 'car business. Just what social gain is to be ob tained from ; this compulsory- divorce is not clear. The railroads are not demanding it, and the company has no monopoly in car manu facturing though it has in sleeping car ser vice. ' j . For decades the word Pullman has been! synonymous with sleeping car service. By its remarkable pooling arrangement it is able to serve the traveling public remarkably well ex cept in wartime when travel is of crushing vol ume. Individual railroads have tried to run sleeping cars themselves, but in this country theylong ago gave up, and the Pullman com pany is almost exclusive in the field. Pullman's advantage is that it can shift its sleeping cars to section to meet heavy loca demand, as for vacation or convention travel. I The operating division has obtained its cars from the manufacturing division, to mutual advantage because of the experience of each in the, common problem of serving the overnight traveler. Now, the two divisions are to be put in separate ownerships and the company run ning the service end will have to buy its cars from bidders. It is hard to see where the pub lic will be supplied with service at any lower cost under the new arrangement. It looks like another case of government interference with a successful business enterprise. One wonders why people steal when employ ment is abundant at good wages. Perhaps they think their customers have more goods to be stolen. Dnterpreting The War News By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Capmsrrt 1M4 by tba Associated The ponderous upper pincer of a deadly allied trap in Italy rolling northeastward from the Anzio beachhead, threatening the reeling Germans with more than the loss of Rome. It Is aimed at cutting off an nazi troops south of Rome from direct escape northward or into the mountains that form the spine of the Italian peninsula. The point of the main allied attack in the north apparently Is Cisterna. road and rail Junction on the Appian Way at the northeast comer of e An zio beachhead. The town is also the indicated an chor point for the right wing of the lastotential German defense front south of Rome. 1 , i A fifth army break-through, to seize it and push beyond into the Sacco valley, would knife the Via i Vasilinav inshore main road between Rome and Naples, far in rear of nazi forces battered by the fifth and eighth army more than 50 miles to the . south in the lower Liri valley. It would leave the enemy no choice but a quick flight from the Ter ra cina-Piedimonte front in the south. Berlin an nouncement of the nazi evacuation of Pico on the Liri front indicates that the expected general Ger man retreat already is in progress. - - The fact that the allied drive in the north is be-" lng directed by General Mark Clark, fifth army commander, indicates the importance of the lunge -from the Anzio beachhead. Selection of the Cisterna corner for the main thrust tends to bear that out Cisterna in German hands balked the first al lied attempt in the Anzio landings to cut across vital f coastal and inshore communications of the German front In the south. It stands about mid way of the low saddle between the Alban hills Just below Rome and the Lepinl mountains form ing the south side of the Sacco valley. : The probable final line of nazi resistance below , Rome runs through that saddle from Palestrine or Genazzana in the mountains north of the Sacco, through Valmontone, Artena and Valletri to Cis terna. Fifth army capture of Cisterna would turn the right flank of that line even before the enemy could reach it from the south for a stand. ;! There .is every ' indication that German power of resistance in central Italy is close to the break-' lng point' The prelude there to the combined Russian-allied east-west attack is close to its crisis .: and at the moment filled with disastrous portents ' for the German high command. . The decision of Hitler's commanders not to dis- sipate their strategic reserves to reinforce the Ital ian front In the face of impending Russian and ai red blows elsewhere is being put to a stern test . A rushing defeat of the nazi army In central Italy would prove a drain on. enemy morale in the field and on the heme front' ,--,-- . . . x,- .Wartime Prohibition . . : v i f The" judiciary comjnittee of the house has put on ice Rep. Brysqn's bill for wartime pro hibition. One ; member said the bill Was "just too hot to handle in an election year." That was a mouthful. If the bill had passed It would have ' been open toj the charge used freely by op ponents of the previous prohibitory law, that it was "put over while men were in military service. 1 r i "v--"'; ; The difficulty over national prohibition now is that the moral climate isn't right Too many people use liquor and will insist on getting It by illegal means if it is not procurable lawfully. The 18th amendment came after a long period of agitation for temperance, local option and statewide prohibition. Then after a twelve year trial it was repealed. .! Now ; there has been no build-up of temperance education, and the pop ular trend is in the ofher direction. To invoke national prohibition now would in all prob ability result in greater disregard for the law and more widespread corruption than when it was first invoked. Prohibition will not succeed until the people are -ready to quit drinking; and the signs of the times do not indicate that such a day is near at hand. 1 News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON ' (Distribution by King f eatures Syndicate. Ins. Repro duction In whole or In part strictly prohibited.) WASHINGTON, May 23 ' The guessing as to whether Mr. Roosevelt will pick Mr. Wallace as running male again has been whetted somewhat lately . in the congressional smoking cloisters, but it is a rather dull game. The I frequently publicized movements for Speaker Ray burn or Senator Barkley as re placements hardly " represent any action at organizing a fight, but rather the preferments of senators. I The SAP and INS tried "to conduct polls of the senate, and Paul Malion . found most democratic legis lators yawningly surmising Mr. R. would probably select Wallace as an offering to CIO, and that no thing they could do or say would make much dif ference. In fact most democratic politicos seem to have decided to watch their tongues more careful ly, and thereby have -created a strange situation, not unlike the period of frozen silence which pre pared the way for the third term campaign. On a free vote of th democratic side of both houses, either Rayburn or Barkley 'would run far ahead of Wallace. A few months ago, few -legislators would have, hesitated to say so. 4 At that time also, the CIO was highly unpopu lar. Since then, CIO has not changed, but its politi cal action committee: has started spending the $700,000 appropriated for the campaign with some successes In the primaries. I . The fall of Starnes in Alabama and retirement of Dies has been followed by defeat of CosteUo (in the aircraft workers district in Los Angeles) and the defeat of Senator Holman for republican re nomination In Oregon. Jj f Holman was defeated by a former public mem ber of the war labor board, Wayne Morse, generally regarded around here as not unfriendly to CIO. JThe congressional interpretation is that the CIO Jwent into the republican primary, as there was no contest among the democrats, and gave enough votes to defeat Holman,' who was not especially popular anyway. . 11 i. j There Is no ground for interpreting these events as reflecting any change of popular attitude in the nation as a whole toward CIO (the last measuring of popular sentiment nationally having been re flected in the Montgometjf Ward case). But those who make democratic politics their business have coupled these events with Mr. Roosevelt's deter ' mination (they think) to run and have thus pulled a blanket over their heads, to do any future busi ness thereunder. . 1 Of course, CIO is a minority of a minority, the lesser part of the union labor movement and these are thinly voted primaries. What force it could . bring to bear in an election may be something .else again. :J ' " J For the present it has at least $700,000 and an apparently ruthless determination to exert its ful- - lest political pressure (even opposing at least one democratic representative who has voted with la bor on all except two or three remote issues.) . . Mr. Wallace is a leader of this group, in the sense that he chooses to act like a talking custo-' dian for that residue of votes while Mr. Roosevelt is busy with the war. r , i In dispatching him to1 China, Mr. R. said he was "a messenger," not a high sounding title (oth ers flying the same route have been called "am bassadors" and "emissaries-), but Mr. Wallace picked up the title proudly in a formal statement1 He spoke in the cosmic grandeur of an oriental mys tic with such sentences as: I f "The future of China belongs to the world, and the world in Justice and -peace shall belong to China," whatever that means. , , It would appear wiser for Mr. Roosevelt to stand with Wallace, but allow the party to fight for Ray burn or Barkley if it chooses (not for Byrd who apparently wants no part of this head-butting business as his friends reported him displeased when a South Carolina friend elevated him to a leadership perch from which he might easily be dis- possessed in the confusing predicament of the party.) -. C i ' : s ! ' - ' .:. - ; ' The president already has the CIO, which has no place else to go, but could gain votes and pres tige by pleasing the democratic party men who' are awe-struck at the possibility of Wallace again, but realize Mr. Roosevelt has a close: or closer " hold on the democratic! delegates to this next convention than he had on the last one when he , nominated Wallace against the opposition of every : other leader of the party! ?v 7 : .51.

Rayburn, .;77".:c a ;,7.7-...... ; If all this sounds somewharperplexmg. remem ber it Is not new (Lewis having played .the CIO role for the second term and the American Labor' party and CIO played it jointly for the third term which was similarly silently approached.) Other wise, the story is still all in one man's mind, a mind which even Chairman Hannegan and Barkley in their public speeches are careful to say they "do1 . not know yet , ' - . -. ; -- . 3 , . . .

Edward Barbey, of Portland, Ore., a vet eran of 11 amphibious operations in the Pacific. He told a news conference that more than 95 per cent of the crews of the landing craft, including the big landing ship tank and the landing craft infantry, are mem bers of the naval reserve, with little or no sea experience before they took up the difficult job of manning entirely new type shipst Discussing the sailing of these shallow-draft, steel' shells across the Pacific, Barbey .said "God knows how they got mem out there." The' rockets In use by the am phibious forces, Barbey declared. are wonderful." He said the rock et launchers were mounted, on some of the land craft which fol lowed the small boats filled with men to the beach and then Iayed down a covering barrage of ex plosives as the men began moving in from the water's edge. . It gives lot of encourage ment to the men in the boats,' he added. Man, 95. Admitted To Supreme Court WASHINGTON, May 23-GP- Dr. Joseph H.
