SPRAGUE, Editor and Publisher I l ; Member of the? Associated Press- i The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper.' Yoice of thcj WareWps . . j , I The air force gets the headlines and most pt the news stones these days, as it has through tnost of the war. Planes of the United Nations in numbers that fill the skies like a plague bf locusts have provided an air umbrella for he invading Jootsoldiers in Normandy and have methodically knocked out enemy com munications and troop concentrations behind the lines. But a generous meed of praise is due the warships of the navy. For they cleared the sea and guarded the landing barges and "supply boats. Minesweepers swept away en emy mines; destroyers policed the waters; grim old battleships came close inshore to shell en emy strong points and silence enemy batteries. It was naval gun power which afforded pro tection to the men wading ashore from the barges. It was far more effective than aerial bombardment because it can be continued on given targets. Thus when observers ashore ra dioed back to the ship that an enemy battery was holding up the advance, giving its location, the ship's guns could be trained on the spot and soon it would be blown to pieces. Com mand of the seas meant not only control of the waters so our invasion armada could cross the channel; it meant also fire-cover for the landing' elements for miles inland. The battle ships knocked out the shore batteries of the Germans and held at bay their counter attack so our beachhead could be secured. : "Used in this operation were older warships. One for instance was the old dreadnaught Warspite which fought in the Atlantic and off Crete and then, limped across the Pacific for repairs at Bremerton. Now it is back in the fight throwing heavy slugs at the -enemy. The USS Arkansas, Texas and . Nevada are old ships dating from 1911 to 1914, but their guns, 12-inch on the Arkansas and 14-inch on the other two, can still speak with authority. The British ships Rodney and Nelson; with 16-inch guns are veterans of the British navy and battle-scarred from this war. These older ves sels could do the job in the narrow waters of the channel and if one or more should be hit and sunk the loss would not be so great as with the newer, speedier battleships. At any rate, the surface ships have played a vitally important part in the invasion of France, just as they have in safeguarding the sea lanes that are Great Britain's lifelines. Night Club Tax Congress has passed a bill with, a tacker cutting the tax on night club bills, from 30 per cent to 20 per cent.' The" claim wai offered thai' the higher rate (a boost from the 10 per cent of the old law) was putting the night clubs out of business for lack of patronage. Though General Somervell in his cry for more man power in war industry had said: "If we have to close the night clubs, let's lock them up,"' congress did not seem to agree with the ne cessity. Night clubs appear to come under the head of "essential war industry"; essential to the plush-bottomed .generals and captains, to 'the plush-pursed industrialists, and to boobs from the sticks. Keep the swivel in your neck lubricated, and don't freeze your gaze on Europe. Gen. Mac Arthur and Admiral Nimitz may loosen a big punch in the Pacific just by way of diver sion. 7 Chairman Davis says that the war labor board should be allowed to die a natural death - at the end of the war. But here are John L. Lewis and Sewell Avery trying to strangle it to death before the war does end. Interpreting The War News By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Cooyrifitt 1944 by tha Associated Press Just one week after their take off from Britain by air and sea, allied forces were within sight of their first prime second-front objective, cap-' ture of the Cherbourg peninsula. " They had out-guessed and out-fought the nazi on ground of his own choosing, long-prepared for resistance to invasion. A 60-mile wide gap in bis coastal defenses yawned. Through it , allied re serves poured under blanket protection' in air and. on the sea. The Cherbourg peninsula nazi bastion was certainly doomed. Even the enemy hold on its great Brittany neighbor, tipped by the fine port of Brest was gravely threatened by an 'American infantry breakthrough 20 miles deep in the center of the .beachhead line to the gates of St Malo. With fall of the Normandy foreland seemingly imminent, giving the allies use of Cherbourg to speed up movement of troops and heavy equip ment to the continental battle fronts, the situation of the German garrison in Brittany will be omin ous. It may be the next Eisenhower objective, backed by forward air bases just across St Malo gulf in Normandy. Its capture would double allied weather-proof communication facilities in France. Failure of the foe to prevent landings in Nor mandy or to seal the first beachheads off effective ly with available reserves has already created -an acute problem for the German' high command. Neither itr local ' reserves nor the first waves of tactical reinforcements have served to halt ..the Anglo-American advance through Normandy: 'The tone of official announcements from allied", great headquarters indicates astonishment at the rela tively poor, defensive showing of the foe up to date. For there is a growing danger to the German position in all northwestern .: France, from the Seine to the Loire, to be seen in the now well con solidated invasion dent Even Paris ' is menaced with British forces on the allied left of line at en circled Caen less than 100 miles from the French eapitol. '" !' :-:;f'T-;H' Sooner or later, due to nazi failure to repel the allied landings in Normandy, ; a major decision upon retreat in France to shorten defense lines will be forced upon Berlin. The enemy is already revealing the weaknesses of overextension in the west as his. Russian front disclosed similar fatal defects once the Soviet army was ready to open" Its year lor. cflenrive all along the line. Season and Bag Limits! ' V ; Fixing season ! and bag limits by the game commission gives i local sportsmen's : groups a ' chance to majce recommendations on What rules should be drawn up for hunting in their lo calities. This year the Klamath-Lake sports men succeeded in getting the commission to cut out doe killing in their district. They have steadily objected to the killing of doe there, but for several years it has been permitted un- ' der restrictions. I ::. 1. ; 2' On the other hand the Bend folk want to open up antelope hunting in central Oregon, The antelope have increased in numbers so fast on the Hart mountain refuge that they art ranging far to the north and west, and stock men would like' to see their number dimin ished "curtailed' might be the word, except they are already bob-tailed.! ' i The commission has a hard time appeasing the fishermen and hunters whose ideas often clash. There are many cracker-barrel experts' on fish and game who have: all the answers. As the sportsmen's groups extend and include more : members there: ought to be better or ganization of lay , opinion which wQl be of more value to the commission and be of greater benefit in conserving of wild life. , News Behind The News ? By PAUL MALLON i J (Distribution by King Feature -Syndicate. Inc. ftepre ducUon in whole r, to part atrleUy prohibited.) WASHINGTON, June 12 The unresolved conflict between the four freedoms and radical ideologies which isi apparent behind the confus ing political news from abroad is also conspicuous behind much domestic news and in terpretation. 1 I The leftist journals are cur rently campaigning - for the Beveridge - proposed "way of . life" in Britain with the criti cal demand that it also be pur sued here. They think mat is what the four freedoms mean, assumption by the state of more Paul Malloa j complete authority over the lives of men economically, fixing their wages, their employment, their security rather than encour aging the individual to do it himself on his own initiative. That is the kind of peace and post-war planning they want 4 , s But we have campaigned this war through to - a point near victory on the basis of bringing lib- - erty and democracy for the individual both here and abroadJs their thinking now not as confused and as far wrong as it was a few months ago when they were campaigning for a quart of mflx day . and labor-wage standards to be fixed throughout the world? j a - ' " r ' What is libertyt What is democracy? What is freedom of the individual? If we do not first de cide that, how can there be anything but confu sion about post-war' planning? :J To me, an individual enslaved to a state econ omically by taxation or otherwise, is no less a slave than if controlled politically. In a. dictator ship,' his life is no more free, than the conscience and ability of the man who happens to.be run ning the state at any; given time. If he has a democratic form, he is still no more free than by whatever degree his president and congress are free' from domination, by minority class groups and interests. In the religious sense, he is not free if 1 he is dominated by any class . group either. Domination by one religion or by . atheism is equally far from any democratic ideo logy. . I' I ' : j ;'.;;., The radicals see this, but this part of it only. How can they expect anyone to believe domination ' brings economic freedom when they see so well it does not bring1 religious freedom. They could not consider the World politically free if it was dominated by one world power, at least no one else woulcL Oneness domination never yet has achieved freedom or liberty or democracy in any way. - i 1 " - : . ; l , What we would like to have is complete -freedom for all peoples in all ways, economically, po litically, religiously. - This always has proved too idealistic a goal for. the world to achieve utterly, but by whatever further progress we make in that direction, the peaceCwill be successful. By what ever measure we ! compromise it, the peace will fail. ', i : -. ' s; j We were drawn deeper into what measure of collectivism we already had before this war only 1 to meet failures. The ideal was not voluntarily 1 espoused as the proper way of life. It was not whatVe wanted. It was what we had to take, En- . tering the war, we assumed the additional collec tivism only for war.': Our course in. that direction should be pursued in the post-war peace only to 'whatever extent it will bring true, justice to the individual; The star of individual freedom should never be eclipsed -one inch by collectivism as our i? aL - Our success in this warwas jiot due to collec tivism but to voluntary democratic cooperation by all hands. To" whatever extent labor sacrificed -its rights to strike,! it expects to get that , right back, and so with all of us. i . : r " a I : ' Internationally we did not win by collectivism either, but by truly democratic cooperation. One -nation did not dominate the military decisions of - how. to proceed with the fighting. This democratic . way is working welt against a nation which prac ticed collectivism and preached subservience of the individual to the state. , These are rudiments of simple. common sense 4 for peace. If we wish to dispel confusion and plan our way, we must first define our words and un derstand our goals. :We must decide that, inter nationally or domestically, the star of real lib- s erty . must, be maintained as indispensable. . . -. - We must abhor collectivism as an Ideal- and coimromIse with it reluctantly: and temporarily only to the extent truly necessary to bring Jus- ; tice to the individual. . . - j- ' We must abhor oneness domination, totalitarian- 1 ism,'? dictatorship, and remember always that an' individual . enslaved to the . state by any means -whatever will have- no more liberty and demo cracy, than the fluctuating goodness and justice . of that controlling force. ; : ' -: 1 Men do not take; well that kind of power either as heads of worlds or any of the subdivisions of v society Including nations, i states, counties, cities, or even labor unions." .
