The end . naa oeen xeaaieu, wiui we .wuscqueuvca wu ' grim to contemplate. '"-IC ; v" The memory of that December day has rankled in the hearts and minds of, Americans ever since, but never so deeply as in the hearts and minds of the 'marine coros. i ' " There were fewer than 400 marines on .Wake Island when it first was attacked. We ,have no exact, record of how many died. Many went to Japanese prison camps, includ ing their combat commander, Lt CoL (then ma jor) James P. Devereux. Not until last Christ mas did his little son in Burlingame,' Calif., re "ceive.a card from Shanghai saying the colonel : 'still was alive. His wife has died, j '"t The marines have memories innumerable of .that defense on. Wake. But they feel now that y, their time of retribution is at hand, if retribu- tion it should be called, and that some of those memories might not sting and burn so harshly when the next few months go by. There apparently is good basis for their be- lief. Completely by-passed to the south and west, Wake island in reality three islets of an atoll totalling not more than nine square miles stands now as a ripening plum which no ma rine would be denied. As soon as it is needed, it will be re-taken with a vengeance, v Wake island, discovered by. William Wake of ' Great Britain in 1795, was annexed by ' the " United States 46 years ago and was made a '' naval reservation, in name only, in 1934. It was developed by Pan-American Airways as a half way station for clipper ships between Midway and Guanw- ' --.ir ' v.-"--- . Yes,.W4ke is just anotheElsland. But. it will be a bright day for America and ; the marines when the $tars and Stripes cmce more flies over its hallowed sand and coral , and brush, and friendly ships and planes ply along the shores . upon -which no braver stand ever has been . made. i ; Evolutions Not Miracles House designers have joined high-ups in the ; automotive world in warning us oostwar devel-' - opments in their fields will bring an evolution ' rather than a revolution, j f - j rh short, we're told that a late model pre - war car probably will be as good as any pro duced immediately after . hostilities cease, and ; that houses won't suddenly be made of plastic and have electronic controls. It appears, in fact, that we'd better be satis jj fied with what we have and be thankful -as '' well we might.be-1: '- v v The Architectural Record cautions against ex pecting housing miracles and says postwar - - homes will cost more, despite possible mass pro- -duction, because "material,' construction and la ' bor costs have risen." : For reasons such as these, added to. the far . more paramount fact that' war needs, by no means are over, we should invest all we can in 10-year war bonds rather than hoard our sav ings with the selfish hope that we can buy and buy and buy the moment GI Joe has won us through to peace. '. -x Interpreting The War News - . "vH:- I..;. By ELTON C. TXY : ' ... " :. Associated Press War Analyst (Substituting for . KIrke L. Simpson) , - A blind spot in the perspective of the omniscient German general staff appears to have helped pave the way for the mighty allied attack on Cherbourg from the land and air. , - -: - r " The nasi staff, like all the- Germanic military - cliques before it, is land-minded. It apparently failed to see the menace in the allied development . ; of the technique of amphibious warfare, first evi denced on massive scale in the North African : landings on Nov. 7, 1942. Even the subsequent les sons of Sicily, Salerno, and Anzio were ignored. The great weight of defenses on the Atlantic . coast of Europe appear to have been" concentrated directly at the harbor mouths of the Treat ports, although this is not to say that the hundreds of . miles of beaches were or are without their .own" ' formidable fortifications. It does suggest. however that the land-minded German general staff .was convinced the roalor allied bid for ther ennnirtf Cherbourg would be made from the seaward side. Tending to confirm this theory was a report from . ' . supreme, headquarters , of the allied expeditionary , fore' that the German's own biggest batteries t - Cherbourg were useless in defending the-city since they pointed out to sea and could not -trained . around to fire inland from their sheltered tdtcp emplacements.''. -: -' ; ; " ;: The allies opened their all-out attack on Cher : . bourg from the south, coming up the Coizniin p- ninsula In a tremendous and swift flankfog c-rra-, tio. That was made possible la the first xiaee ty v employment of amphibious -warfare in wLich Vr.c allies, with all the skill learned in battle trainir.: on beaches f Tacific Islands and Mediterrssrisi . shores, wIUi til the coznplicated shipping , and ;xia r chines to make such operations possible, sstruck at the base of the peninsula. There they . put . ashore. " through the surf and over the beach what. Secre tary Stimson says is an "ama2ing volume cfsmen and munitions and secured the necessary foe the I i on the coast of France. Cabbages dKiip- , There was a time several years ago when Earl Warren of California, how being mentioned as possible candidate for the vice presidency, was being boomed for the state's governor. Ha was attorney-general then. - - ; " j A group of San Francisco reporters, think Jng to pin him down i f or a good story, de- scended on him. They found him already closet ed with another newsman. Finally,! they were admitted to his office land the early-bird re porter went smiling on 'his way. I The attorney-general didn't give his new callers much of a story, He appeared as disin terested in being governor as he has in late weeks in being yk-president j The reporters , went away apparently convinced the man who beat them to his office had been given inside in formation. ; l i. . . ; - ' . He had. The reporter and the attorney-general had been comparing notes! as to why nei ther had much luck raising pet rabbits. The attorney-general believed he'd been feeding his too much wet cabbage.! The reporter allowed maybe his hadn't been! getting enough green-, . stuff. . . ' If Gov. Earl Warren holes up with a reporter at the Chicago GOP convention,' it may be he's talking about cabbages-jor kings. ' News Behind The News ! f By PAUL MALLON it. (Distribution br King Features Syndicate, tne. Repra ductioa la wtiol or ia part atrtctty problbtted.) WASHINGTON, June 22 The planned vacation of congress is ostensibly to, enable the republicans and democrats to attend j their respective conven tions. But the private understanding is that not much business will be attempted before August 1. It seems the house members have been worried by the undetected inner politi cal activities of the Hillman CIO group and insist on getting back home, not only for fence ' mending, but to find who has been digging holes under their . fences. 4 I Senators also have been upset-by the defeats of Holman, of Oregon, and Clark, of Idaho, , although they are less worried about CIO. . J ' Paul Maiion ! ' These are the real reasons for the long recess. I . Criticism no doubt ; will now pour down upon , these furrowed legislative brows because they are abandoning the urgency of peacetime reconversion planning. The criticism will be superficially valid, because tbey are leaving behind at least one re conversion bill, although the truth is the bill could ; not be passed if they stayed. Too much controversy -envelops it. , ! f r." 's ' . ' .The urgent need of some more directive action Is increasing daily. The problem is here now, though the solution is still absent All tabs on business show, the peak of production and employment was passed six months ago and declines' averaging about .3 per cent are evident in all lines. 1 . True a happier outlook' for postwar at home is beginning to be evident behind the new The stock market always, until now, has sighed and sagged at the prospects of victory. The final grand assault, however, sent it firmly up; . . Even the old arch-pessimist Joseph P. Kennedy, business seer extraordinary, made a speech in Chi cago holding out hopes he formerly; disdained. The problem Is simple. There is! $200000,000,000 ? of cash in banks and savings bonds. People are short of everything and can use' this' money to ' . A 7 : .' To sustain a satisfactory and successful nation we ; must have a national income for the people IS to 25 per cent below current war expenditurs. The solution must 'dovetail these facts into each " other and provide a practical economic program for the next few years, which will not only do the Job, but inspire confidence, now that it can be done. The administration hasj put forward! a program " which has not yet convinced anyone the job will be . done. At the top of its setup is Mr. Byrnes in the office of demobilization, but that office is only a few desks and telephones. . i . Actually Byrnes, without any economic staff (un less you call Ben Cohen, the lawyer, an economist) Is a peacemaker over the various conflicting gov ernment agencies. I ' , Apparently C. E. Wilson was to take over th r actual plant reconversion program, but he no soon er settled himself in that seat, than Mr. Donald Nel son announced a- reconversion program (at the instance of the Trurnan committee, so they say). To make the confused state of affairs even more clearly discernible the army denounced the Nelson program. : "'! i'v ' "t ''.!. The GI bill of rights has been passed allowing up to S2 weeks within two years of unemployment compensation at $20 a week, so that veterans could lay around for that length of time, although,' of course, the problem Is to get people back to work. , Only if the nation is working and producing can it Jiop;to-xurviv,.becuse,after all the talk about gold, inflation, wage-hours, etc, work is the only constructive economic factor which can generate a successful country. t-"il? -'J!-!vv ;- -i ;". -.'

Fifth Army Soldiers Get Lost In Maze of Rome's Streets By KENNETH I. DIXON". WITH THE AEP IN ROME, June 9- ( Delayed ) -(VIn the fall of Rome there was irony for thousands of the fifth army fighting men who captured it. They got only a fleeting glimpse of the eternal city or none at all If their unit by-passed it and most of them will never; return. : H , - - There were some who already had seen more of Rome than they want They are the dough-j boys who got lost in the shuffle, separated from their outfits dur ing the wild chase after the flee ing Germans. Everyone was confused. No one knew where any of the streets and roads led. Not even the MPs had . any idea where the various regiments and battalions and com panies have gone and the maze of Roman streets even flabbergasted a Yank from Flatbush.
