Eyes Men and

By Can. Hugh S. Johnson
Washington, D. C, Oct. 2.
-I say to Douglas, 'If you don't
keep still, you are going to be
brought to Washington some day
and be compelled to reveal what
you have behind those (insur
ance) policies." " .
"If you don't keep still;" thus
Senator Nye recently threatened
Lewis W. Douglas, head of the
great Mutual Life Insurance
company. Why? "The newest
fear" said the senator, "has been
started by Lewis Douglas
he has declared that if Hitler
should win the war, an insur
ance policy would not be worth
the paper it is written upon."
a
IT is possible not to agree with
the opinions of either of these
gentlemen. In the present hys
teria both of them are hopping
pretty high. Certainly the argu
ment about Insurance on both
sides is likely to cause unwar
ranted fear and even panic
among many people whose only
security is insurance for which
they have saved and sacrificed
for many years. Put that aside
for moment. It is this "if you
don't keep still" business threat
ened by an influential senator
that should give the public the
greatest concern.
There are more kinds of cen
sorship and gag-rules than one
to choke-off freedom of expres
sion and debate in these terrible
times. We can't afford to permit
any kind of gags or censorship
at all. ,
The senator is a member 01

from the senate, is seeking to

Dread Gestapo Works Over
time in Occupied Lands
Reds Smash Ukraine Push
(By Associated Press)
A Greek uprising with ma
chineguns, hand grenades and
revolvers in Bulgarian-occupied
Macedonia was reported today
as German firing squads and
public hangings were credited
w;th snuffing out the lives of
170 anti-Nazi conspirators in
Hungary, Belgium and old
Czecho-Slovakia.
The Germans asserted that an
inciDient Czech revolt in Bo-
hemia-Coldavia was "in hand'
as 39 new death sentences were
handed down in the Nazi pro
tectorate.
However, two German avia
tors were reported shot in a
dark street in Zagreb, the capi
tal of the old Yugoslav state of
Croatia. A recent government
decree rjrovides for the execu
tion of 10 "Communists" for
each such attack.
Gestapo Kept Busy
With Europe's millions chaf
ing bitterly under the yoke of
Nazi conquest, German execu
tioners and the dread Gestapo
have been forced to work over
time in the occupied countries
Slipping through the night to
kill, burn, wreck and spy on
German occupying forces, con
spirators by the thousands have
challenged Hitler's regime in
Norway, France, Belgium, Hol
land, Yugo-Slavia, Greece, Ru
mania, Bulgaria and elsewhere.
Germany usually says these are
Communists.
Resorting to the "hostages"
system of reprisal executing
men in Jail for anti-Nazi at
tacks committed by others
Germany has threatened to re
taliate against the whole popu
lace for assaults on Nazi sol
diers, has executed Dutch and
Belgians by the score for aiding
British fliers, and has shot or
hanged untold hundreds who
refuse to submit to German
rule.
French Restive
In little Croatia alone, tens
ef thousands of Serbs are re
ported to have launched guer
rilla warfare against the axis-
sponsored regime. Some observ
ers returning from Europe have
predicted a French revolt within
four months, while the Dutch
news agency reported that sabo
tage and anti-Nazi demonstra
tions were on the increase
throuehout Holland.
Other major developments on
the international scene included:
1. Russia's Red armies report
ed smashing an attempted break
through by great masses of Ger
man troops on the southern
, (Ukraine) front
2. Advices reaching London
said violent fighting raged at
the bottleneck gateway to the
Crimea oenlnsula. key to con
trol of Black sea waters, with
the Germans making extremely
slow progress southward.
3. Adolf Hitlers high com
mand asserted that Nazi war-
i planes were silencing Russian
bunkers, field guns ana xanxs
east of the Dnieper river, blast
ing path for the advance of
German troops pressing on to
ward the great Doneta river
Industrial basin.
4. In the siege of Leningrad,
the Russians said that three Nazi
assaults had cost the invaders
more than 1,200 killed and
wounded without gain and that
Intense fighting at close range
continued on the perimeter of
Leningrad's outer defenses.
5. At sea, the Nazi high com
mand reported the sinking of
683.400 tons of British shipping

with the destruction of 452,000
tons.

The recent surge of new
rumors and wishful tmnKing
about the proposed Beagle-Ante
lope cantonment blew up today,
as so many times In the past,
on an authentic statement from
a high army officer.
The Associated Press report
ed that Lieut-Gen. John L. De-
Witt, commanding officer of
the fourth army, stated that the
projected Medford cantonment.
well as several others, was
still in the planning stage and
that he did not know when It
would be built or when addi
tional army divisions being
planned would be activated.
The general, in charge of all
troops in the west, said that he
stood by his statement of Au
gust 22 and had nothing to add
to it.
The general's statement today
made clear again that the pro
posed cantonment here is still,
as it has been from the outset,
on an "if, as and when" basis.
In other words, army officers
have said from the start, the
cantonment will be built If, as
and when funds for it are ap
propriated, the army is In
creased and need for the camp
arises.
In his August 22 statement,
made at Longvlew, Wash., Gen.
DeWltt announced plana to in
crease the fourth army from
about 90,000 troops to 260,000,
the plans calling for the cre
ation of five new "streamlined'
divisions. He said that five new
cantonments to house the ad
ditional troops were being built
or planned along the Pacific
coast. He specified Medford as
one of the places where one of
the new divisions would be sta
tioned. Army officers have promised
from the beginning that the
public would be kept informed
of any official news regarding
construction of the proposed
cantonment here. Meantime the
civilian coordinating board be
lieves no good purpose Is served
by spreading unfounded reports
or rumors whether they are
pessimistic or optimistic
